The amount of effort and dedication CDPR has put into Cyb post-release is commendable, the state of the game on launch aside. So far, Five major patches/point releases and close to Twenty minor patches/hotfixes. I still play the old game versions sometimes for funzies and the difference between 1.03 (launch day) and 1.63 is pretty major. Super excited for 2.0 and the expansion.
I'm still pissed about the patch that was released in the middle of me playing it, that knocked down the price of a can of water from $20 to $7 smh.
I agree and I doubt people will be skeptical going into their next game. That's what I was saying.
Lol, remember the vending machine crafting exploit? In early versions, cans of soda could be disassembled for scrap- an easy money mining technique was to buy a shitton of sodas from the vending machines outside V's apartment, scrap them, craft a bunch of "common" tier sniper rifles from the components, sell them at the drop point by V's apartment, repeat indefenitely.
CDPR were previously raked over the coals for their screw ups so doing more of the same without a writer having their hands on the updated game I'm not sure would be a fair assessment, apart from just speculating whether it may or may not be impactful.
It's been called out, your just angry ranting.
I’m sorry that you chose to see my post as a rant.
The expansion is definitely not going to be the "day one Cyberpunk experience" in case that's what skeptics are thinking (or secretly hoping for?)
This seems a bit glass-half-empty. From seeing a few developer panel livestreams, part of their thinking seems to be that because the game has been out long enough - and many fans have played through it enough times- that a shakeup of the skill system can make the game feel fresh again for people with a lot of game hours. Works for me.
I don't recall them saying this. However, the skill tree system was flawed as hell given that you could end up stupidly OP enough to make the game feel trivial even on the hardest difficulty setting. A lot of that was due to how those skill trees were built. They've done some work on that regard, but not enough.
That is the same thing that happened with me...in reverse. On paper everything about the Witcher 3 is something I should like. I just can't get into it.
If you do everything, the base game takes roughly a 120 or so hours to complete. That's without significant dialog skipping or taking shortcuts to get out of some of the quests faster by killing the quest giver or something like that.
It's the same for me. I couldn't get into any of the Witcher games but Cyberpunk 2077 captured my interest immediately. That's why I've got over 600 hours in it now.
Nice to see a game fully utilize all your hardware.
Hopefully some of the CPU power will go towards improving CPU-bound performance, and not just get eaten up by the new game systems. Improving asset decompression perf would go a long way towards reducing microstuttering.
CD projekt Red were in their list of support partner and cyberpunk in their list of 12 first games that will have FSR 3, which was announced to be a september release so maybe.
2.0 patch confirmed for Sept 21st
This is not the RPG you played in 2020
If this is the case then some of us got 2 games for the price of one
