At least everyone knows not to trust this dev anymore and won’t buy the game until it’s actually finished

Sad this likely means the first one never gets finished

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 days ago (5 children)

The first one was finished, and is a fantastic game.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago (2 children)

It was finished and buggy.. it's now finished, fixed and expanded.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

Right now is where it should have been on release.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago

If it's good enough for Gibson, it's good enough for me.

Not feature complete to pre-release promises/expectations

You don’t have to lie to justify your purchase, you can enjoy it for what it is

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The game is finished. Maybe not finished to your expectations, but it is definitely finished, and is a damn fine action RPG. And Phantom Liberty is the best damn DLC for any game I've ever played since the Shivering Isles for Oblivion.

Calling others opinions lies just because you don't appreciate what they're saying is what we in the industry like to call a "bitch ass move".

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Reconsider what you responded to and what finished means

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

I don't need to reconsider shit, the game is finished, and is amazing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

It was pretty damn solid. I didn't finish it, I had fun running around blasting gang members. Ducking through alley ways was the shit.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

CP2077 was not finished when it came out at the end of 2020.

This revisionist history of it being complete on release will get no traction here.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Literally nobody said that. Your username checks out.

[–] szczuroarturo -3 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Yeach . It had rocky start but damm disregarding bugs the praises were more than deserved. Literally the best action RPG that exists.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

A rocky start? It got removed from the game stores and full refunds given. That's not a simple "rocky start" the released a pre alpha at full price.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 4 days ago

It's absolutely a fantastic game. I'm glad Gibson is giving his blessing for the sequel, I'm looking forward to it!

[–] [email protected] -2 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Literally the best action RPG that exists.

Spoken like someone that has played about four or five video games in their entire life. It's not even an RPG. It's a shitty first person shooter with pointless skill trees tacked on. Even if you were to classify it as an action RPG, it doesn't crack the top 20.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

What a blisteringly stupid thing to say, considering art is subjective.

[–] szczuroarturo 0 points 4 days ago

It absolutley does. Also cyberpunk actually gives you a lot of freedom on how you aproach combat. Can you play it as mindless shooter. Yup . But you can also play deus ex like that and no one calls it a shitty first person shooter ( even tho thats technicaly the easiest way to finish the game ). And as far as the world and story is concerned its equisite. As far as whetewer its an RPG or not. If mass effect is an RPG than so is cyberpunk i think . Very subjective thing in general . Definietly not a hill im willing to die on.

Speak for yourself choom. I'll buy that scop on launch day. (I only preorder RGG games cuz they have never missed)

[–] [email protected] -3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yeah their greed is disgusting. I wander how many DLCs they'll make for this next one before it's finished

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Expansion packs have existed since the 90s at least. There were also special editions and stuff before DLCs were possible.

[–] [email protected] -5 points 4 days ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Just saying if they do release DLCs and add ons it isn't something particularly new or particularly greedy.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It is greedy when they ask for more money for "extra" content for an unfinished game.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

What are you even talking about? They only shit you had to pay extra for was Phantom Liberty. Every other update or content release has been free.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago (2 children)

And it was greedy as hell because when that DLC was announced and released the game was still buggy and unfinished. The game still doesn't feel complete without the DLC is what I hear from everyone I know and multiple reviews

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You don't need PL to get the latest patches and updates.

"From what I hear from everyone I know"

My brother in Christ, have you even played the game?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

I never said that I said the game doesn't feel complete without it

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago (2 children)

The game is not only finished and complete, but Phantom Liberty was the best damn DLC I've ever played for any game in any genre, since the Shivering Isles for Oblivion.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Damn I'm sorry. I didn't know people had such little exposure to good content

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Art is subjective. You don’t get to speak for anyone but yourself. Half the world thinks what you like is shit, but go on about how you know what’s really good.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I know greed when I see it. I know cut content when I see it. A good DLC doesn't include stuff that should've been in the game.

CDPR did good with the witcher series years ago. But after cyberpunk they showed how disgusting they can be. They don't deserve money. Have fun and enjoy the game but don't defend it, there's no point

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I'll defend it if I want. Neither you nor anyone else gets to decide anything for me, so fuck out of here with that attitude. There's a reason you and the people who share your opinion are getting downvoted so much in this thread. That reason is people think your opinion is shit.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

That's a wild to me that you'd defend blatant greed, but to each their own I guess.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Nobody here has done that, and that's such a piss-poor attempt at a straw man that you frankly should be ashamed of even trying it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You literally are....? I'm shitting on CDPR for their greed and you're saying it's your choice to support them.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Just a note, saying “literally” does not, in fact, make something true. Nor am I responsible for your inability to comprehend what you read.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

This is you LITERALLY saying I'll defend it...

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago

That is me literally saying I’ll defend the game. It’s your words that defending the game is defending “greed”, which is a bullshit, weak ass argument.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

What a blisteringly stupid thing to say, considering art is subjective.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Phantom Liberty was the best damn DLC ---- I've ---- ever played

Yes, dumbass, which is why I said it's the best for me, subjectively. Don't fucking reply if you're too stupid to read what I write.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I love how you've personally taken offense to everyone shitting on your precious cyberpunk in this thread. It was broken trash in 2020 and it's only slightly less trash in 2025 bud. Sorry you have poor taste.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

What I take offense to is incel neckbeards coming into a thread and shitting on everyone who likes something they don’t.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

incel neckbeards

What a blisteringly stupid thing to say, considering I'm a woman.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 3 days ago

Oh, sorry for misgendering you then. I meant to say femcel neckbeard.
