There's a lot of hope in the Deus Ex community that Cyberpunk might reinvigorate interest in continuing the series. Did Cyberpunk sell well with preorders despite being a dumpster fire? They sold 13 million units on release so far. And according to them, that includes the publicized returns. Probably why they haven't been kicking up that much fuss about refunds (but still put the onus on the consoles and retailers rather than on themselves directly). Of course, they lost a lot of that due to the stock of CDPR taking a dive after all of this came out. Erased their gains for the entire year. Still, not one lesson was learned, and everyone will keep putting on the clown makeup (myself being a huge CP2077 apologist included).

Only semi-related, but I've always thought Witcher 2 was better than Witcher 3. That reminds me, is there a way to play Cyberpunk 2077 in Polish? That so enormously enhanced the atmosphere of the Witcher games, it's kinda all I wou;ld even care about when I get around to thinking about buying this. It's set in the states and based on an American franchise. Several characters speak in subtitled Spanish, Japanese and Chinese. Effect probably wouldn't be the same.

The Cyberpunk tabletop game is one of the first developed primarily by a Black person, IIRC. Which makes it all the sadder how much CDPR f***ed up the tabletop game's themes and also sneaking in some racist memes on top of it.

It takes one goof to take the discussion all the way to 11 for no reason. Also, if you remember where CD Projekt is based...yeah...

Ignoring that it didn't even win GOTY (Last of Us 2 did), that's gotta be one of the biggest overreactions in journalism history.

I haven't picked it up yet but this sounds almost certainly like the meme of people missing the commentary or satire in science fiction because they just like the cool guns.

And what racist memes? That the Voodoo Boys stuff? Because that was done and explained by Mike Pondsmith.

I mean if people take images from the game and nake racist memes out of them it's hardly the developers fault.

Gotten Cyberpunk (PS4 version) for Xmas, Played only the prologue chapter, it's a good game (Granted I only played the prologue chapter) But I erased it from the hard drive to make room for a couple of games in my backlog. I'll go back to it in a couple of months once I finish FFVII remake or Star Ocean the Last Hope PS4 or Yakuza Like A Dragon whichever game I beat first

I really don't play video games anymore but I have a question about the Night City setting... is it the same as the Night City from the 90's tabletop RPG? Does the "Piper Memorial Hall" exist?

I finished this christmas eve. I largely ignored 75% of the side quests, only taking ones that intrigued me. I finished with 20 street cred, and next to no cybernetic enhancements. I played a melee class, just maxing out those perks. Im guessing enemies scale because I was wiping out Sasquatch and Smasher in 6, 7 swings tops. Stealth no longer meant anything because armed with a dozen maxdocs I could clear out an entire camp in 5 minutes.
Im sure if I immersed myself more I would love this game, but as it is, I was more hooked on the story. I got the “bad ending” but I thought it was great. At first I was gobsmacked that credits were rolling but as I thought about it (because those credits are a legit half hour) I think it was the perfect ending to my V’s story.
No pun, I can’t wait to play this when they make a fully optimized PS5 version. Thats when Ill go balls deep and check out the body augmentation and side quests. I like melee over gunplay mostly, but it was more of a necessity playing on a launch PS4 as my framerate got so choppy when bullets were spraying everywhere and blowing shit up. Beyond that I didn’t experience too much in gamebreaking bugs. Only 1 blue screen crash, had to reload a mission a couple times because an NPC wasn’t behaving, and fell through the map once. All in all, not too bad considering what I heard other players were experiencing
Its a great game. Itll be a phenomenal pickup in a couple years when its finished.

So I FINALLY finished my time in the prologue and was something like lvl 26 street cred (yes I spent an obnoxiously long time just doing side quests and lookin for all types of random loot...(hi Skippy).
And gawd damn as soon as you leave the prologue EVERYONE seemingly has your contact..and I am all like WHO THE f*** GAVE ALL OF YOU MY CONTACT? and was thinkin man they should have put in a change your phone number option lol.
Still gonna barely touch the main story with all the new side quests popping up now.
In the midst of this taxi quest line...where I gotta retrieve these cars for the dead beat daddy A.I and it is pretty damn funny.
And speaking of HOLY SHIT this game has been running fine for me untill I head into the garage of said A.I and wow did the game suddenly choose to turn into an Atari just mega chugged like a Mia Yim match untill I left and the game returned back to a playable state.

Yeah I don't understand the racist memes thing, either. I mean if people take images from the game and nake racist memes out of them it's hardly the developers fault. I think people are jumping the gun a bit on a description of a sports car that said something like "in spite of being 10% of vehicles on the road, this is responsible for 60% of all accidents" I mean I can see why people would THINK that's a sly reference to a certain instance of racist lying with statistics, it's just generally the way stats are laid out, and my guess is it's more supposed to be implying "the people who drive this kind of car are usually the kind of douchebags who roll 3 cars a week"
