i gave cyberpunk2077 another shot after hating it at launch because multiple people pestered me about it for two years. i was repeatedly told of my lengthy list of criticisms, “they fixed all that, it’s like a totally different game now”.

10 hours later it’s clear that they’re either:

a) delusional b) liars c) literally cannot hear criticism of the game being spoken aloud

because that shit was 99% identical to at launch, bugs included. the difference between the game that people keep describing to me and the game in front of me is so stark that i’m fucking baffled. it’s like it’s a cult or something.

    Did you play it on last gen consoles that did not receive many of the updates?

    I am curious to know what bugs you encountered, no game of this size is perfect but its gotten to a point that is more stable then skyrim ever was.

    The one issue I recall having when i tried 2.0 was clipping trough terrain but this was apparently caused by the eye adaption mod. Removing it fixed that.

        PC specs?

        I play CP77 on a Steam Deck, through Proton, and encounter literally none of the issues you describe.

        As to your second paragraph:

        lol ok buddy, clearly you hate literally everything abkut this game, maybe rpgs that require some actual long term planning type thought, and an attention span exceeding 5 seconds, maybe this kind of a game just is not for you, and maybe you have in this thread described literally every single aspect of this game as atrocious.

        Clearly you are emotionally raging right now lol, just being extremely critical of everything, like this game cheated on you with your best friend, and you’re having a crash out.

            Yes thats called being able to entertain multiple thoughts within my head at the same time.

            Yes, you are clearly upset, but you are also clearly being unreasonably hyperbolic, and also making many broadly false, disprovable claims, and also mixing subjective opinions with things that are actually either objectively examinable claims, or are subjective, but fairly far outside the realm of being considered generally reasonable.

            That is to say, you have lost the capacity to be rational, objective, reasonable.

            It is possible to have a controversial opinion and still be rational, objective, and reasonable.

            But this is not what you are doing.


            You have been very emotional and it has lead you to make hysterical statements.

            Thats fine, thats a fairly normal thing that happens when people are very emotional, but …

            Your original post was claiming that the game is just as bad and broken as it was years ago.

            This simply is not true, for the vast, vast majority of players on all kinds of systems.

            The game now is nowhere near the abysmally broken state it was in at launch.

            The most likely rational explanation for all the bugs you are apparently experiencing is that the error lies on your end, PEBKAC, you probably don’t have a powerful enough computer to run this game, or your computer has something seriously wrong with it, or you have misconfigured some vital part of your system.


            The steam reviews of the game have actually recovered so much that general sentiment is now “very positive”, roughly 90% positive, when it was initially at “mixed”, roughly 60% positive.

            https://www.gamespot.com/articles/four-years-after-its-disastrous-launch-cyberpunk-2077-has-a-great-steam-user-score/1100-6529009/

            https://www.lorenzostanco.com/lab/steam/ratings/1091500/2016/u+ur+uc+urc/

            A very large part of that is due to the amount of bugs and stability issues that were fixed, again over all platforms.


            It is not rational to call people delusional, and to make one intial set of specific claims, and then broadly expand those to a whole bunch of other claims and gripes, and then refuse to answer specific questions or respond to specific counter arguments, or simply respond with more derision, in excess.

            That is what a hysterical, emotional freakout looks like, making a bunch of highly aggro claims, mostly because you are just very hurt or upset.

            That doesn’t mean that your feelings are invalid, that your subjective opinions are “wrong”, but neither does it validate your factually wrong statements, nor does it come across as generally reasonable when you have such numerous and strong opinions that are significantly outside of the general sentiment.

                See over on my instance we have a rule / practice where one person just says “Disengage” and then after that, is expected that those two people will not communicate with each other for the next 12 to 24 hrs.

                Why do we do this?

                Because sometimes people get really heated, or feel very attacked, and thats basically a safety valve for that, where both can do a sort of gentleman’s truce, realizing that they are succumbing to their emotions and should probably both cool off a bit, so as to not be foolish or cruel.

                … But you just keep arguing with everyone in this thread!

                The… the things you wrote are still there, we can still read them!

                I highly doubt that any actual specific person who convinced to replay this game you don’t like… are any of the people in this thread.

                What is to be gained from making a fool of yourself amongst strangers?

                Why do you insist on trying to “win” this?

                Because you… you have “a person”, sitting next to you with a Steam Deck, egging you on to keep embarassing yourself?

                This person is not your friend.


                You are now just throwing out, wildly incorrectly, all the bad psychology vocab words you “learned” from TikTok.

                You may also note that I never called you ‘stupid’ or ‘a liar’.

                You invented that in your head.

                Go read what I wrote again.

                Actually read it.

                What I said was that you are being emotional and irrational.

                Those are not the same thing as ‘stupid’ or ‘a liar’.

                Everyone gets emotional and irrational sometimes, thats just part of being human, smart people, stupid people, liars and those honest to a fault, they all can become irrational and overly emotional in certain circumstances.


                You are conflating things, concepts, you are conflating individual people in this thread into one gigantic enemy collective hivemind, you are panicking.

                This is what a highly emotional person does when they feel they are under attack.

                Please, disengage, there is no good that can come from your continued stubbornness.
