Cyberpunk 2 is now in preproduction, CD Projekt says

As long as there's no stupid pre-launcher aka ad platform. I can load CP77 with its exe directly, for now

Yeah their greed is disgusting. I wander how many DLCs they'll make for this next one before it's finished
wrote on 29 May 2025, 17:16 last edited byExpansion packs have existed since the 90s at least. There were also special editions and stuff before DLCs were possible.

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

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

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

Thats a fallacy. You're essentially saying because one company was able to fix their shit, the systemic problem isnt real. Thats not the case. Look at the broader picture. Companies are consolidating, building massive conglomerates and the market is hostile towards its customers.
wrote on 29 May 2025, 18:03 last edited by notmyoldredditname@lemmy.worldNo the systemic problem is real, but I don't think this one independent company has succumbed fully to it yet. If they had, they wouldn't have fixed it as well as they did.
-
I think if it was really late stage capitalism they wouldn't have fixed it nearly as good as they did and just called it a day.

other location could be the moon, i think they intended for that to be DLC in 2077.
wrote on 29 May 2025, 18:11 last edited byThey did do a lot of teasing of the moon and the Crystal Palace space station, but there are also signs in-game about a high-speed rail line to Chicago opening in 2080. So the "Chicago but wrong" descriptor might be exactly what it says on the tin.

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.

wrote on 29 May 2025, 18:32 last edited byThats what I'm saying too. The reason they released it in the state they did was market pressure and most likely bad decisions in an abusive capitalist system. Thats the reason why I said it initially.

By the time Cyberpunk 2 comes out, I’ll have my own Keanu installed in my brain.

wrote on 29 May 2025, 18:47 last edited byAnd 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
-
The worst i hear is its games tend to be kinda unoptimized, but how much of that is the devs not being given enough time to optimize the game before release and how much is just the engine being bad idk. I used UE4 a lot and it was pretty smooth sailing for the most part, but maybe 5 got worse in some aspects.
wrote on 29 May 2025, 18:52 last edited byThanks for your input. I find UE4 very optimized on my low end machine. UE5 is a no go tho. Not it's fault in my case, I need to upgrade.

If it wasn't as broken as it was, it might not have ended up as good as it did.
