Him blaming most of the negative reception on people thinking it was “cool” to hate the game is so laughable

Well most of the stuff is going to be a free update released when the DLC is
Nah. I’m good thanks. Maybe on a 90% sale.
But I’m not going to RE-buy what it should have been in the first place. And it’s not going to be.
The update that overhauls the core systems is going to be free, the expansion being sold is the phantom liberty new story with the president and Idris Elba. Just saying.
Idk I got the base game on 50% discount a year or so after it came out I think. I honestly had a good time playing it. Like it for sure over sold and under delivered if you preordered it. Not to mention the buggy unplayableness of it at launch. But I feel like I still got my money’s worth.
And I’ll probably do the same thing with the dlc. If it looks like it’s being updated regularly to fix bugs then I’ll buy it later.
I heard the expansion is shallow and repetitive also. Yikes.
I did sink about 40 hours into cyberpunk after it’s release and had a good time but honestly the gameplay loop is so repetitive it just starts to feels so pointless after a while. I’ve tried to restart a couple of times since then and just don’t have the motivation.
I had a great time with it myself, despite many obvious flaws. It seems to scratch an itch that I’ve yet to find an alternative way to scratch!
Maybe it’s as simple as cyberpunk fallout? But the worlds texture (again despite it’s imperfections) feels more than just cyberpunk. The fallout comparison has other similarities too (apart from the buggy engine lol), I love the active and relatively expensive mod scene too.
I was definitely disappointed that the story felt a bit limited, but I’m looking forward to a new play through when the DLC is out, even if it’s another trainwreck.
I loved the anime too which makes me excited for my next play through, similar to how reading the Witcher books opened up a whole new lover for the Witcher 3, although there’s much less of a connection between the Cyberpunk game and the anime obviously.
Long story short, I can understand others frustration with the game, and I hope (perhaps naïvely) that CDProjectRED get their shit together with how they treat there devs. But despite that I loved it, and deeply hope they don’t abandon the franchise due to how badly the first release went. I must guiltily confess that it’s a real struggle not to preorder the DLC out of the vague sense that it’d count as a vote to stick with it. I won’t, mostly because corpos don’t work that way, and I don’t want to endorse the bad behaviour towards their Devs especially, but still.
I preordered cyberpunk 2077 on stadia, got the chrome cast ultra and controller for free with it. When they shut stadia down it was refunded but I kept the hardware, and then bought cyberpunk again at half off. Needless to say, I’m willing to buy the dlc if it’s $30; making a bundle of both the game and dlc $60 would be wise.
60$ for a game that’s almost 3 years old? Nah, thanks. Moreover I loose all the trust in CD Projekt Red, after the buggy mess they released at the start with Cyberpunk. I enjoyed that game but it was unplayable and promised things that were never implemented.
Like 90% of Triple-A games nowadays.
Head of marketing at CDPR eh. And he’s been in the role for 12 years eh. Guy has balls doing this interview I’ll give him that.
Let’s see how the expansion is… cautiously optimistic
I disagree. You need to fix your relationship with your employees and overuse of crunch. I won’t buy any of your shit until horror stories stop coming out of your studio. Same deal with Blizzard, did they even fire the rape guy?
I’m cautiously optimistic on the expansion. I enjoyed the game for what it was and I’m excited to replay it with the big free update that overhauls everything + the DLC
I hope it has more bug cleanup. I really want to like the game. I tried it at release and bugs made it miserable, tried it again last Autumn and got a decent ways into it before hitting a hard progress-blocking bug…meh.
I’d love to be able to actually play through the game. Like I say I was having fun, but damn.
