This fixed version is much less of an eyesore. Oh well. It's all frills and show, on purpose. Really? I'm not sure if that'll be the case further in, but it's what it feels like now. Game is still playable and works mostly fine and will be patched continuously on mid gen upgrades and next gen. Its a bit excessive. The accent stuff I dunno about. If that's not taking the violence all the way I don't know what is. This practice of lying your way through cert and pinky-swearing you'll fix the whole thing in a Day 1 patch needs to be reined in. Well, yeah, but also maybe letting publishers get away with "we'll fix it later" is a shitty anti-consumer policy that the platform holders should never have normalized to begin with. Brilliant. Having said that, Sony's whole refund policy DOES suck.Still, the de-listing is still just crazy to me. All copies, whether digital or physical, will continue to receive support and updates from the Company. This process takes no more than a few hours and we'll It's fine to enjoy a thing with issues, but maybe consider taking a moment to hear what the objections are before just saying it's all good. I just don't see the need for ethnic gangs in 2077, especially when such things play into stereotypes about minorities as criminals, and for some reason there's no Mafia gang or Russian gang (though the Scavs have some Soviet origins, but other identities too.) @sweep: He might, but I think he was talking about the actual content of the game there. But I get that people are going to defend CDPR management releasing this hot mess after working their staff to death. If the game is delisted, then the updates won't get pushed out since it's technically not an official PS4 game...? I haven't had any major issues. It just brings the whole experience down. Member. I swear they must have stealth patched this because everyone talks about all these goddamn dildos and I ain't found a one. From what I've seen and heard of it sounds like immature jokes and a lackluster attitude toward trying to make a point. And the shitstorm that came with Arkham Knight's nightmare of a PC launch was pretty big. We talk over the Cyberpunk 2077 reveal and try and figure out how punk is cyber? @sweep: Was pretty crazy seeing the amount of people trying to say that he wouldn't like it because he didn't like the Witcher. Game » And then it gets into the actual plots related to sex workers and it goes through a lot of cliches and negativity, but there are sex workers who are presented as fully realized characters so I don't think the game intends to be anti-sex worker, it just takes on material more complicated than its willing to handle. I think that the AO rating is dead for maybe anything but a pure porn game, but frankly I think that the extreme violence in games is worse than any porn game would be. Trying to get out the things I dislike so far. FOMO: it isn't just for refreshing websites and harassing walmart employees anymore. For those that don't care about reading it, it's just answering the question, but also my thoughts on the game so far since I just got it yesterday. In 2077, they've been completely overhauled into Stereotypical Latinx Gang #3289: calaveras, low riders and motorcycles, heavy Christian iconography, the same lazy trope that's been pumped out since, like, Los Muertes in Crackdown 1. This doesn't even rise to the level of satire's uglier twin sister, parody. This is shit for everyone involved. Nah. When in reality even the semi cool shit in the game isn't like that groundbreaking or anything. It might be beneficial for CDPR to rollout updates and at least give people the option to play it on next gen systems. Cyberpunk 2077 unfortunately leaves me with this question; did they take 8 years to make some weird outlet for their "trigger the libs" jokes? Sony DO NOT like giving refunds. Seriously. Maybe that's also sort of the point but for a player that stops mattering when my vision drifts to the side during some event to find another one of those god damned Bottom's Up animated billboards and I sigh. Real curious to see if Microsoft follows suit. So....this means that the next patch for the game I won't get, right? Still, I kind of feel CDPR are coming out of this ahead. I allow the portal joke because they fully committed to the bit by bringing in Glados and that's respectable. Hopefully ms doesn't follow suit. Also as a tangent/side note -- it is SO WEIRD seeing "A Red Ventures Company" in the website footer. "Oh, you want us to give people refunds? There were a few instances where I couldn't pick up an item for some reason. The game handles trans stuff pretty badly but it isn't explicitly anti-trans, and it handles women badly but it's not soaked in misogyny like some games, so it's far from the worst title I've played even this year in these regards. The first season of Altered Carbon explored classism and sexwork so much more interestingly than Cyberpunk, and Altered Carbon barely really looks at it in the grand scheme of things. The only thing I want to hear about after this is managers being yeeted out the door for this entire mess. The Voodoo Boys at least have their weird views on Cyberspace and AI. If this game attempted to deliver a meaningful message about any of this, it would be easier to forgive, but instead, it mostly just comes off as 4chan humor. For one thing, I think it's worth pointing out that something being offensive is, at the core of it, an extremely personal thing. The Giant Bomb guys said yesterday there are forced combat sequences like in Deus Ex. No one is perfect though and I will bring expectations with the next Wolfenstein game. Blitzrules240. There are vivisected corpses in various places in the game. While reading Altered Carbon the novel and later watching the show, I had the same thought I do when playing Cyberpunk in that the creative director is a 12 year old boy coming up with really "cool" ideas. The decision was undertaken following our discussion with SIE regarding a full refund for all gamers who had purchased Cyberpunk 2077 via PlayStation Store and want a refund at this time. This process takes no more than a few hours and we'll ... CYBERPUNK 2077 E3 2019 | Reactions to Keanu Reeves COMPILATION - Duration: 12:58. Their idea that that’s the way to approach it, especially during a pandemic and in the middle of new console launches, is truly astounding. @theoracleofgame: Oh it's both alright, but I'm gonna put my foot down and do what the OP did and focus on the offensive part before it gets swept under the rug because "remember the bugs"?! Wow... @frytup: Definitely, this has been an issue since 2013 when the new consoles first supported patches larger than a few MB. It also has racial stereotypes (as others have mentioned) and just treats a lot of subject matter callously. There's a difference between having questionable content within context and just endorsing said content. Much like Saints Row, ANY meaningful discussion to me is ahead of what Cyberpunk does. Cyberpunk 2077 has a ton of challenges for you to tackle. The Cyberpunk subreddit is a wild place. I have done a ton of side missions but not all of them. I seem to miscommunicating as of late with using a reference as an example that gets the opposite intent presented. Like the barrage of text messages and calls from people you've never met about cars, the "offensive" advertisements are all just white noise. I get the vibe that lately Sony was seeming like the bad guys with people because of the refusal to offer refunds. 2020 has taught me that practicing empathy is vital. It's like this game was written by fourteen year olds after googling "sex" who read a wikipedia article about Tor. This is both a fuck you to CDPR and a cover their own ass for operating an online store and still, in 2020, not offering any normal way to refund a purchase. Quick Jump Gaming Forum Gaming Hangouts EtcetEra Forum EtcetEra Hangouts Trending Threads Latest Threads Watched threads. How would this even make sense in the game world? Abby Russell Former Content Producer, Giant Bomb. Going home to sleep in your bed, see your family, have a normal, healthy life, and work a normal work day is "for closers" (See: Management and Executives). The only other times I can remember something like this happening was Arkham Knight PC and Afro Samurai 2(which was straight up cancelled and I think killed the studio, the game was there only release...or well, was there only release for as long as it existed). Giant Bomb. ...But, again, my experience with the game was probably a 1:2 ratio of compliments to complaints at best, and the crashes were just something completely alien to me as a console player. So, kinda feels like they just went nuclear here. ... giant bomb ot oh my stars they filled it full of cocks . Because I can listen to one episode of Joe Rogan and get that in one hour versus waiting 8 years and actively contributing 50 hours of my life. It's not always as easy as just replacing one texture with another (there might be specific lighting designed around some of the posters and video screens and there can be other stuff tied to them in surprising ways, such as scripting in cut scenes) but it's been done before. It's a decent enough way to show what things might be like if all of that can just go completely unchecked.
