Topic: Cyberpunk 2077 OT

@WanderingBullet hope so. Put in around 7/8 hours. Don’t know what the he’ll I’m doing. Just following the main mission at the mo.

@crimsontadpoles Apart from certain areas being now available, and more types of side quests (such as car races) showing up, nothing much changes about the core gameplay after Keanu shows up.

I've been doing a mixture of side content and missions, as the former is supposed to tie into the latter and effect the ending.

There have a been a couple of side missions which have ended badly (like a bloke committing suicide for instance) based on the choices I've made @Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy, and there have been a couple of points in the main story missions when depending on what decision you make, you get a different objective to do next.

Like CrimsonT says, it does put you off posting stuff about the game when there is so much negativity around about the game, and that your post gets lost among the retreats and the like.

So, yeah: game was unfinished, but the people in charge wanted to push it out before it was ready, I guess.

On the positive side, Microsoft finally got an exclusive game.

And we got this sweet new trailer;

So after playing for 6 hours, I've reached the end of the beginning portion. I have now encountered Keavu Reaves's character, Johnny Silverhand, and he's certainly making things interesting. Looking forward to see how he and V get on after their initial rocky start.

Good god, even on with everything on low settings, this looks like an entirely different game on PC. My brother-in-law is playing it, and the population density in the streets, texture work, lighting, etc. is all great. I can only imagine what it looks like on a higher-end PC.

@crimsontadpoles Glad it has clicked with you a bit more. Without spoiling anything, how the two characters are with each other I think will depend on what choices you make at certain points. I say think as I've not checked this out myself (I have with other bits by reloading an earlier save) or read up about it.

I was going to buy this on the day it was pulled - but hopefully once it is fixed it will be out again, bug-free, for all of us to enjoy, and in it's finished or more or less finished state as well.

Holy cow some of the side missions are good! And get proper dark too. The one I'm on now involves child abduction and other stuff which I won't detail. I have to admit it did leave me a bit uncomfortable with what I saw, and I had stop for a bit to take it all in. It is like when you see something in a gripping film or TV show and it really makes your skin crawl.

Got the platinum yesterday. As soon as they fixed the crashes resetting my settings I really got into it. Glad now that Sony straight up ignored my refund request 😆 PS5 load times made the frequent crashes bearable. Only had a couple of gameplay bugs though.

Main story was surprisingly short, but really like the fact that the final mission is a completely different one, depending on what you did during your playthrough.

Give it another couple of months to sort the crashes and buy it!!

WTAF...!? Went to play this evening, at least until it crashed on me, but as soon as I logged in there's a notification from PlayStation that my Cybepunk 2077 refund was processed... Thing is, I never asked for one! Considered it, a lot, but never actually requested it in any way. And obviously I can't restore the licence or repurchase it...

Has anyone run into this before!??

@Lazyprojector78 Sony processing a refund and yanking your access to the license without prompting is pretty alarming. Are you SURE nobody else could have done it in your stead?

@Ralizah Right??!!?! Alarming enough to explain or acknowledge what's happened...? No...

Sounds like one of Delamain's 'children'.

Kelvin the Artificial Intelligence has malfunctioned. Syntax error. Unable to reboot, stay safe customer, you should run now. Corruption detected.

This is worth a watch. In hindsight it's shocking what the marketing looked like versus the actual product.

Finished my second playthrough as a nomad this time and got The Star ending which was a happy and bittersweet one, much better than the first ending I got. I then decided to go back a little and chose the Temperance ending which really moved me. That one is such a tearful yet fantastic ending. Say what you will about CDPR but they remain as very good writers of stories and characters.

@ApostateMage I just completed the game and got The Sun ending, which was quite fitting with one of the main themes of the game. Will defo go back and do the others, just looked at what needs to be done and looks like I should be able to get them all. I liked what they did on the credits with some of the characters, and love the first song that plays too.

@JohnnyShoulder That's the ending I got with my streetkid playthrough. I didn't really like that one, made my V look like a right selfish cow!
