i gave cyberpunk2077 another shot after hating it at launch because multiple people pestered me about it for two years. i was repeatedly told of my lengthy list of criticisms, “they fixed all that, it’s like a totally different game now”.

10 hours later it’s clear that they’re either:

a) delusional b) liars c) literally cannot hear criticism of the game being spoken aloud

because that shit was 99% identical to at launch, bugs included. the difference between the game that people keep describing to me and the game in front of me is so stark that i’m fucking baffled. it’s like it’s a cult or something.

    If you think its identical to launch you are the one who’s delusional. I enjoyed it a bunch at launch, but I could see the bugs. Now, however, it’s a masterpiece.

        That video is 4 years old.

        Like, yes, CP77 does not have the literally patented and exclusive to Rockstar Euphoria physics engine.

        Yep.

        Almost everything not stemming from that, in that video, in terms of minor details to graphics or gameplay mechanics, has either since been fixed/added into the vanilla CP77, or there are mods that exist that fix/add those things, and/or the person who made this video is just counting the way some GTAV mechanic or feature works as ‘better’ than its counterpart in CP77 for basically personal preference reasons.

        Almost as if that person is just a super duper GTAV fan and is just identifying ever minor way that CP77 is not a cyberpunk DLC fof GTAV, instesd of, you know, a completely different game.

        You could just make this video in reverse and point out every gameplay feature GTAV doesn’t have, that CP77 does.

      i wish i were so simple and easy to please. bless your heart, it’s not (just) about the bugs. though there are tons of bugs and if you don’t see them you’re blind, stupid, or a liar.

      fuck the entire point of the meme is the issues i had with the game go far beyond the bugs but when i talked about the reasons i didn’t like the game everyone apparently ignored me and assumed i was talking about bugs.

      cdpr are fucking incompetent and they made a fucking incompetent slop pile of a game.

        It’s crazy how the only one acting like some weirdo cultist and harassing others for their opinions in this thread is you. You pass your opinions as fact and act like anyone who disagrees is some iPad kid who doesn’t have the same standards as you do. And it’s not like you actually have anything meaningful to say, just CDPR sucks lol fanbois amirite?

        Gameplay is bad. Mechanics are bad. Graphics are secretly bad (if you turn everything to the lowest setting and use mods/.ini tweaks to disable post-processing effects even further)

        I don’t know how anyone who reads anything you’ve posted here could take anything you have to say seriously. You can’t even articulate your own opinions without acting like a child. Nobody who enjoys the game should waste their time trying to have a discussion with you about it and that’s clear.

        Enjoy shouting into the void and the affirmation that comes with it.

          i used no tweaks or mods of any kinds, i set the graphics from the in-game menu like a normal person would. ya i’m kinda pissed off that everyone wants to strawman the fuck out of me for having a bad time with a game they like. it’s like trying to talk to religious people about the bible.

            I was literally just going by your quote, so not so much strawmanning as trying to make sense of your immature whining about how everything about the game sucks and CDPR are incompetent and the voice acting is bad anime dub levels.

            the graphics are secretly bad too, turn off the stupid amount of post processing that’s left on even on “low” settings and it looks like hot fucking garbage

            Regardless, if your point was “when you turn the graphical settings to the lowest possible levels it looks like ass” then my bad for misinterpreting you but that still seems like a ridiculously hollow criticsm.

            everyone wants to strawman the fuck out of me for having a bad time with a game they like

            You have not responded to anyone who has taken you seriously with anything other than “I must exist in some alternate universe because it’s actually terrible” so I dunno, maybe people aren’t taking you seriously for self-evident reasons?

        Just popping in to let you know you’re right. I played it night of release all the way through the most recent patch and it’s 99% the exact same game in all ways that matter
