This is the only game I've been looking forward to since FF7R came out.

As somebody not particularly interested in this game anyway, this is getting pretty funny

 

[Erotic Materia]

Ok, this is pretty hilarious.

Game will be on two discs on PS4 and have file size of 70GB.

I saw that the thread was updated and was expecting another delay announcement. CD Projekt, ya disappoint.

Game size on PS4 (with patch)

Game reviews:



The most common negative critique being how surprinsingly buggy the game can be in spots (ymmv on how deal breaker that is).

Heads up for people with sensitivity to seizures.

Big oversight that they dont have a warning during boot sequence, like other major games do:

And that the only mention of seizure warning is only under user agreement text:

[Makoeyes987]

How the fuck do you make a game that gives you a seizure after being delayed 7 months??

 

[Odysseus]

Wouldn't this lead to a massive recall if it isn't patched?

Sounds like they're scrambling for a fix.

CD Projekt confirmed it's now "working on adding a separate warning in the game, aside from the one that exists in the EULA". It also offered assurances that it's exploring "a more permanent solution", and that one will be implemented "as soon as possible".

Gotta love that “aside from the EULA” notice, as if anyone would actually read that. (Though my twin brother actually has made it a point to read every EULA, our first session playing DMC5 consisted of reading the whole EULA)

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

Though my twin brother actually has made it a point to read every EULA ...

I'd demand proof he wasn't adopted.

 

[ForceStealer]

This is not a defense of CDPR, just a regulatory question, every game I own from the last...several years has an epilepsy warning on the box. Is that just an American thing?

 

[Lulcielid]

If anyone plans to go phisical should know this:

Should note that the mandatory update lock is a PS5 thing, you should be fine on PS4.

[Odysseus]

Given the thing they're patching in is at least in part to cover their own asses legally, I guess it isn't surprising that it's mandatory.

 

[Lulcielid]

PS4 and Xbox One are out now, it's looking quite rough, both graphic and performance, in both consoles, might wait for a few patches down the road before you play it on these consoles.

The game is a success at launch, with most of the sales coming from digital.

Spoiler: Baiiiii

 

[Clement Rage]

My God, what a game. I'm Youtubing it, but now I'm stopping because I might play this at some point in the distant future. (got up to the meeting in Tom's Diner where an angry man yells at the staff for changing the channel)

Never been anything like this.

I read one line of one review, and of course this involved a major spoiler of

What's on the bio-chip

 

[Lulcielid]

SIE has removed the game from the PS Store, all customers to receive refunds.

 

[Makoeyes987]

And people said this would be the game of the year...

The only way it could be worst is if CD Project Red would have shipped empty PS4 and X-Box cases to it's customers.

"It's fucking raw!" As Gordon Ramsay would succinctly put it. Please developers. Finish your fucking games. And don't use crunch to do it because as you can clearly see.. Crunch didn't correct shit.

Oh, and don't lie and hide your glitchy releases either.

 

[looneymoon]

I'm actually shocked by how much of a mess this is.

I am also sadistically pleased because the last year I've been in close proximity to two people who would constantly banter about how this would be the greatest game ever made... without a hint of irony.

You can't even toggle the width, depth, or flappiness of your puss. What is even the point of cybernetic augmentation if I cant have cartoonishly ridiculous genitals!? Trash game.

that honestly sounds like an improvement

now you're free

I have similar feelings on the matter. The hype machine for this game has annoyed me ever since the title was announced. Long before any gameplay was shown many people assumed that by virtue of it being a CDPR project that Cyberpunk 2077 was guaranteed to at least be the game of the year. This zealous conviction from CDPR fans reminded me of the unreasonable hype for any number of AAA games that, in the end, didn't live up to expectation. After years of seeing the same CDPR appraisals written over and over, I almost believed it myself for a moment that the hype bubble wouldn't burst.

The bubble did burst however and now I'm having trouble containing my smug vindication. These are of course not feelings that I should indulge in. The game in both its development and marketing is clearly yet another sad example of the things wrong with the industry.
