    Look, cyberpunk ended up (after some years) being a good game, but that doesn’t mean I’ll ever trust them again

    It’s going to be fun to watch 20 same looking NPCs with same looking clothes living their daily lives with schedules, again.

      I mean, I can believe they can do it, but it will probably be totally missing on launch, then utterly broken, and after 2 years of patches will finally work correctly.

    They had a rough start for console players, or so I’ve been told, but I strictly play on PC and never had any issues whatsoever, so I’m looking forward to the next game for sure. There’s no doubt that the game was a great one, and Phantom Liberty was the DLC that finally knocked the Shivering Isles out of the top spot for me.

    Cyberpunk was the last game I preordered preordered and it was because of the blatant lies they told about the game before the release and still have not (and will not deliver on).

    I loved the world the artistically manifested and expanded in some ways (thanks Pondsmith!), loved the music, loved the start of the game. I have yet to finish it because it’s still a buggy mess at times.

    I’ll finish it one day, everyone says the DLC is great. But it will be several solid and honest game releases before I trust cdpr again with any sales pitch. Until third parties have their hands on it, we can’t even trust the footage.

      The base game was great, but the DLC was probably the best DLC I’ve ever played, finally knocking the Shivering Isles off the top spot in my book. I can’t say much more without spoilers, so

      spoiler

      The choice you have to make at the end was the most conflicted I’ve been in a video game. I really liked both characters, they’re both so well fleshed out and you can’t help but sympathize with them. In the end, I chose So Mi, but being forced by Reed to shoot him was hard. He’s not even real, and I’m mad he made me make that choice.

    Yes, there were big claims before and yes, everyone should be extremely cautious. Never preorder games. It will likely suck, and even then just from the general trend in AAA gaming.

    BUT there is a big difference this time around, specifically: they’re no longer using their own engine. That does change the equation.

      I honestly don’t understand why people buy games before the first few patches are released. It feels like paying to be a beta tester.

    • BUT there is a big difference this time around, specifically: they’re no longer using their own engine. That does change the equation.

      I feel like it would be a negative change though, as they haven’t worked with any other engine since… Forever.
