    Could you remind me what features people were upset about? I stayed away from most of the drama since CDPR has a long history of releasing a free major upgrade a year or two after release that fixes everything people complained about.

    I remember the dev diaries being pretty open about dropping features during development, like the RC drone turning from a staple of your kit into something shown off once in a mission and immediately forgotten.

        To me it felt completely sterile, lifeless and just set dressing. Although the stories where cool the immersion didn't work at all, turning it into a bore and ultimately disappointing. I played the patched version that supposedly had all this fixed.

          Well for one, they had the whole thing about how every NPC would have a full dynamic daily routine to make the city feel alive, and the actual result was, for example, them just walking to and from the metro for 24 hours straight lol

                It's still like that though, the city just feels like it's just a bunch of npcs standing around. 3am? Same people just wandering around or sitting/leaning somewhere. I really don't know of a game that has any dynamic npc systems. It's all just scripted a to b and that's it.

                    Every major Unreal Engine upgrade sucks for the first few years. Eventually it'll get optimized (the source is available and studios regularly contribute to it) or the documentation will start pointing out pitfalls and ways to increase performance. We'll just have to suffer through a deluge of chip-melting games until then.

                    I wish there was more competition in the high-end game engine scene. Unreal tries to do all of the things all of the time and suffers for it, Unity requires tuning to look good and its management keeps shooting itself in the foot, Godot isn't there yet and has a bare-bones approach that requires devs to implement nearly everything from scratch, and the dozens of in-house engines that have been open-sourced lack the community or documentation quality to foster significant uptake.

                    Me too. The problem with every major company using unreal is that every game that try to be realistic looks the same.

                        I don’t know how you one-up the first game.

                        Well, after playing Baldur's Gate 3, I've got no shortage of ideas. I really enjoyed Cyberpunk, but "this is the strength option" and "this is the hacker option" are nothing compared to how BG3 lets you come up with your own solutions through its systems.

                                  I also had it on launch day, on PC, and it worked great for me as well. If anything, performance got worse after they patched the game.

                                    Developed in UE5, I’m assuming? That’d be an unfortunate probability. CP2077 was the best looking game and the most immersive game I’ve ever played

                                        Good god, just let it die already. Pass the reins on to someone who can actually make a decent CyberPunk game. I do not trust CDPR to make entertaining games anymore.

                                          Seriously. I've lost all faith in this company.

                                          They fixed the performance issues, but at the end of the day, the game is still boring as fuck. IDK how they did it, cause the CyberPunk aesthetic is right up my alley.
