Did they fix cyberpunk yet?

[-] Xenny@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

Y'know they actually did

[-] secret300 2 points 3 days ago

Noice. I haven't heard of anything about it since launch. They still updating it?

[-] Xenny@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Occasionally we get the odd tech update but they consider it basically finished now.

But the tl:dr is

Bugs fixed
Optimized
Gameplay enhanced
Dlc is amazing

Too bad it's a linear game (except for the first mission), which is the opposite of what they promised.

It's nice they added a DLC, and I'm glad it's good, but it doesn't really mesh with the rest of the game.

Is it a buggy mess like it was at launch? No. Is it what they advertised and sold? Also no.

There's DLC?! With the state the game launched in I wouldn't even buy it, they honestly lost my trust

Honestly if shadow of the erdtree didn't come out it would be considered the gold standard dlc.

Edit: and you get to skip straight to the dlc on character creation. It makes some story decisions for you but if you want meat and not potatoes then that option is available.

I played through it last year and got one or two bugs tops, great experience and fantastic game (if you liked TW3)

[-] DacoTaco@lemmy.world -1 points 2 days ago

Yes but also no. Played base game recently, and i had a lot of bugs and frustrations. Some of them because i ran it from hdd, which is not their recommended way of media to install on, but some were clearly design failures and bugs...

I just finished four endings and am now grinding side missions. Through oner 90h of great gameplay, I had like 5 bugs (1 crash, 1 person walking on air, 1 body that rolled away like a car, 1 car stuck spinning wheels on a flat surface, 15 cases of "summoning" a car to see it dropping upside down 30 meters away)
I've seen worse in terms of bugs, and it's an interesting game with tons of content and different ways to build your character.

[-] stevedice@sh.itjust.works -5 points 3 days ago

Yeah, yeah, we know they fixed the bugs but did they fix the game? Do cops still exclusively spawn behind you so you can escape them by driving in a straight line?

[-] toofpic@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

They also appear on some streets ahead - they are usually avoidable if you look at minimap all the time, but it's definitely not "just behind"

[-] stevedice@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

Interesting. I just looked it up and it seems they completely revamped the entire police system. It light finally be time for me to give it another shot.

[-] Ookami38@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

Can confirm. I'm playing through my 4th total playthrough (once on launch, once about 6mo later, one on the DLC launch and one now) and the last two have been noticeable in terms of quality improvements. I'm playing modded to shit, but only have had a few crashes. Police feel fine now, I'm not using anything that alters their spawn logic. Just about the only thing I've not enjoyed still is driving, even modded to hell lmao

It’s a good game now. I waited over 2 years to buy it and think it’s the best single player shooter I’ve played since Bioshock/HL2. Have completed it 5 times now using different builds and am thinking about getting the expansion if it goes on sale at xmas.

[-] stevedice@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

I bought it on release because TW3 and Deus Ex are some of my favorite games but it was so bad back then that I haven't touched it since. Alright, I'll give it another shot.

I don’t think you’ll regret it. The story is incredibly rich and outcomes depend a lot on your choices and playstyles. It never feels like you’re grinding for levels to me. There’s the occasional bug, but no more than other games I’ve played. I think it’s probably the first genre defining game we’ve seen in about a 15 years.
