If Cyberpunk had only released this year as the 2.0 version, how do you think it would have reviewed?

Cyberpunk launch was taken advantage of by reviewers anyway it still sold millions so no.

The extent that this game lives rent free on GAF is astonishing. Every fucking thread lol.
Who knew a big AAA exclusive on Xbox would trigger so many crybabies here

90+
1.0 was already 80-85 for me. 1.6 was 85+.

I've played the game about a dozen hours. There are definitely limitations to the way the game plays, but overall, the strengths of it are so obvious (story, dialogue, world/city design, combat flexibility, etc.). Those strengths were buried underneath bugs (on PC) and horrible, cynical, fraudulent behavior on part of the publisher with the other versions.
Without that, I think it would be getting 90+ MC easily, plus you add on 15-20 hours of Phantom Liberty which everyone is raving about.

I was thinking the other day they should’ve done what Larian did with BG3. Do an extended early access period for a couple years. Will sell a couple million and keep the coffers full while you iron out the kinks for a full release. I waited for BG3 and couldn’t be happier with it. Who knows what kind of pressure they were under from investors tho.

It's not just fixing the problems of the product but setting the expectation of it as well.

Just the base game but with all the prior patches up to and including 2.0? Probably around 90 - 91.

Yeh it was the investor pressure that resulted in them releasing it when they did.
But it has to be said that it was very much self-inflicted pressure because of how they guided and forecasted in previous earnings calls.

Also LOL at the opencritic page for Cyberpunk 2077.

Easy peasy 97.
Larian and CD Project Red, I dunno, hyped to the moon. Some justified, some not.

How long are we going to keep talking about launch reviews? This isn't 2006 anymore people. Cyberpunk was busted at launch and it got fixed; just like what seems like the majority of games nowadays.

For most games, the vast, vast majority of game sales come at launch. Launch review scores are absolutely relevant when that's when the majority of people will be playing the game.

Strong GOTY contender alongside BG3 and TOTK, it would've made other games look poor in contrast.

Yes, better. I went from a 7 at launch, to approaching an 8.5 with the expansion. It's got it more correct with room for improvement

I agree IGN and Game Informer scores are a travesty for the release game. Should be lower.

In my opinion at this point both sides are just as annoying and it derails nearly every thread into a Starfield thread. So if it's some form of meta-bait beyond baiting starfield enjoyers, good on them for ruining threads I guess?

Yes. It runs well on current consoles now. Both the 60fps and 30fps RT mode.

Maybe I'll get it on PS5 Pro for 60fps RT.

I think it's better played on a 3080-4090ti. A PS5 Pro would give a decent upgrade. There are still many immersion-breaking shit in the game at it's finest state even after years from now, so it's not something I feel the urge to play now with custom character that breaks story immersion from the get go.
A lot more favorably than it does now, that's for sure.
Not dropping last-gen consoles fucked the game. Probably would've gotten more than one DLC for it had CDPR not spent so much time and money correcting their mistakes.
Either way, I'm enjoying my time in Night City, and version 2.0 has me very eager to see how they'll manage on UE5, and how it will compare to the REDengine.

I mean, he's got a point. Even threads that aren't about Starfield get derailed to talk about it to some degree. It's not enjoyable for anyone trying to come here and just talk about something else.

I will forever regret buying Cyberpunk 2077 on release. The game and dlc look great now, but I'm to burnt to show any interest now.
I reckon it would've scored in the lower 90s if today's game released day one.

A solid 90 for sure
The sword fight is awesome, and the upgrade system is not that a big mess anymore
Still, the promises of "you choose something and everything changes" will always be the biggest bullshit ever. If you're not sure about a industry changing thing, don't say anything

If the 30fps RT mode is anything to go by... not worth it. It's not the "RT overdrive" mode. 60fps is fine-ish with some drops (a VRR capable display will help to smooth things out).
(Having said that, I did run into an issue where the game would crash on the end boss, first when I almost killed him, then like after 30s after starting the fight. Had to restart the console to rectify that.)

I know, it would be poor-man's RT. But better than nothing + 60fps.

Sadly its not. Whenever the game drop frames its a judder/stutterfest with some tearing too. VRR does jackshit

IMHO, the SSR/cube maps/whatever the fallback is is pretty good, for the most part. In some scenes though the lighting is noticeably off. Also FSR 2 does really break on some (thankfully rare) occasions. FSR 3 should be coming to the game, we'll see if it makes it to the consoles.

On extreme cases no. But like on more moderate drops I found it more tolerable. But what do I know, my eyes are not DF-certified, guess I'm an easier mark.
