Fanboy shit like this is so cringy
I'm loving the game, but c'mon. On more than capable hardware such as the PS5 the game is crashing like crazy.
Really? we are now either fanboys or haters? It would appear that just like society in general nowadays things break down too black and white, no room for the colours in between. Anyone that thought this game would play perfectly on old consoles, and that includes PS4 version with backward compatibility crap on the PS5, the console I chose to play it on, was fooling themself. I for one thought the post was funny. THe crahses on PS5 are because of the backward compatibility and yes the version we are playing was not designed for it ...we knew that before release. I made the conscious decision that the game was really coming out for PS5 in the spring not now, but I wanted to play it now and suffer the consequences. I was pleasntly surprised not the onther way around! LOL. I get more 60 FPS on the PS5 likley than I would had I bought it on my shitty 2012 PC with 680 GTX which didnt even meet the minuimum requirements. Somehow i got through Sekiro with it so I was tempted. LOL.
Although I agree that CDPR needs to sort out what they are doing and deserve at least some of the valid criticism, there is far too much criticism for what actaully happended...(the industry as a whole is corrupt see below) . I knew dam well that although my old PC was goign to be a better option for some things, modding one of them, that I would POSSIBLY get 60 FPS on Ps5, that was all I needed to know to make my decision and Im living with it. It was acvtually a good decision. I am getting a great looking game and it is realtively smooth despite the crashes, which are likely owing to the backward compatibility crap. THis will go away when the actual PS5 veriosn comes out in the spring.
I feel bad as a Canadian that Brazil sucks for gaming, this game in particular as the whole world needs an in depth cyberpunk world to dwell in, felt really lucky to get a Ps5 without pre-ordering, so I went with it for this game, but there is no need to call out people as fanboys. This is the thread for people who are having a good time to celebrate the game in peace also, so rest asssured you will have a lot of poeple in here who like CDPR and this type of game. There are zero complaints from me even though it crashes as much as Fallout NV did because I know there are reasons for it. Bethesada has no excuse and are raping people dry of cash with online BS and never fixed Fallout to this date even on PC. I didnt hate on NV either, as obsidian likley wasnt to blame, I just didnt buy fallout 4 nor 76.
I would be shocked if most posters here dont know about the game dev career option, but just in case you dont...Ill rant on it. My wife worked in it temproarily and of course many of our friends still work in it, I know the music manager for EA games here in Vancouver personally and even though every beep whistle and sound effect that goes through all the EA hockey games emanates from his department and he is the "manager" and head of the department.....he gets paid peanuts compared to other exec friends I have in other "real" businesses. THe idea is that you should feel priviledge to be in the industry, we give you a wellness centre at work to eat drink,exercise, play foozball and relax, but you have to be aware there are going to be inhumane "crunch times" etc. This is rediculous and labour law will shut this down eventually. The workers dont want to rock the boat because in a way they believe they are privileged to work for a game company instead of an oil company etc. TBH I am thankful for any games at all outside Japan or the US where slave labour has not been indoctirnated to a science. Europe isnt cut out that way and its not really surprising that either the workers just cant hack the American/Japan work "ethic" (oxymoron) or there is simple mutiny and mass resignations.
Im not trying to make excuses for CDPR as a "fanboy" but Count me as unsurprised that CDPR has grown really quickly and is now suffering the same "crunch" that other big name companies impose on their middle managers and workers. Even if that leak was false the content in it is happening in the industry on an ongoing basis. Who is to blame? I guess in each company is differnt and we dont know CDPR's story, but rest assured someone isnt on the same page. Probably doesnt help its in Europe where most people dont work for peannuts typically nor accept poor benefits. Canada gets wedged in between Europe and the US for these kinds of things, and although we have a disproportionate amont of gamers per captita, game developers per capita, the same BS as the states goes on with UBisoft and bioware, EA never was canadian they just know where the dollar was cheaper LOL.The walmart of Game studios .
I cant possibly direct my angst at any of you in this thread, there are no fanboys or haters, everyone is just trying to use the gaming outlet to protect themselves from the real disorder which is the corpo world....maybe the whole cyberpunk 2077 paradox is tryng to tell us something?? The Irony of CDPR of all companies succumbing to the marionette strings of the corp world, through release of a game that supposedly admonishes us against the evils of the corpo world is beyond brilliant.
Well Im on console this time round and I cant do the mods. You can go on pornhub and see the Cyberpunk sex scenes also but with no context it would kinda suck, I mean as interesting as it is to see the scenes CDPR comes up with, the real porn on porn sites is "better" if thats what you wnat to do with your time. I was really tempted to look on pornhub for Panam as my female V got shot down and still really connected with her as a friend, maybe even more than Judy...Ill wait to see what happens with my next character who will be male, but it wil be anticlimactic as I already know all the scenes as feamle V anyway.
You can miss the entire Brendan quest if you don't initiate it soon enough. I agree, there should be more dynamic and random stuff that can just happen as you explore the map. There's absolutely nothing dynamic in this game. Quests, encounters, NPCs, vehicle traffic, car chases, police system... everything is heavily scripted.
It's the most beautiful open world game ever created. It's also a perfect example of "look but don't touch" kind of world.
Yean I have been searching for that quest in my Journal where the monk asks me to find his brother....can never find it....its it really gone?
Imagine if you got the sidejobs from fixers in person instead of via phone?
One of the best parts for me was meeting Dino, Dex, meeting Rogue. Agree to meet in some shady bar, talk business, you're on edge because a bodyguard has his hand on his weapon, insane atmosphere.
Man the potential for this game is near infinite.
Ummm, you cant possibly be trying to troll us right? Im only half way through and I have met almost all the fixers. I assume you can meet all the fixers since that seems to be the trend in my game? . Several of them outside the ones you mentioned gave me at least one or two quests each in person. In fact, imagine my surprise when I stumbled up some stairs, disabled some laser beams and turret cannons, only to find Regina and a couple henchmen ready to blast me for messing with their hoard of high tech shit! Regina goes something like "what are you doing here V?" and tells her henchmen not to shoot me. Was a downer there was no (awesome) loot but Felt really cool to just stumble on them without uisng the map. (I realize the hand shake symbol was likely there but I wasnt looking at the map! LOL)
I cant be the only person this stuff is happening to right? ITs likemost people are missing half to 2/3 of the game thinking they did eveything just because of quest markers or plantinum or whatever?
Even if you dont do it the whole game...I implore all of you...just do some random exploration...even just a a little, you will be rewarded much more than by other RPG Bethesda included. Despite the size is waay bigger they still foudn a way to pack more shtuff into the game than Bethesda does and I havent got bugged out quests for doing stuff out of order (although now after reading above Im paranoid many of my early quests are no cancelled for lack of time and attention to them earlier).
