Cyberpunk 2077 - New RPG by CD PROJEKT RED

[Bocephus86]

I'm actually pretty happy with this news, this is one game I didn't want to wait on and I wanted to try to enjoy the spring/summer outside with my newish dog (hiking, camping, beach, etc). This will give me something to do during the depressing late fall/winter without having to avoid spoilers for 6 months.

November 19

 

[Beau Knows]

Not surprising.

 

[Papa Francouz]

Damn

 

[Chaels Arms]

Delay it as long as you want, I'll be here waiting.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Hopefully by November they can come up with a better title and better cover art.

 

[syz]

I didn't think it would make it out this year even before COVID happened.

Hopefully by November they can come up with a better title and better cover art.

I know that these are the two most important things that I'm looking for in a game.

Not sure why they keep committing to a date at this point. It just looks bad even if it’s for a good reason to delay

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Sucks but aslong as the game is good when its released I really do not care.

Agree with this criticism. Should honestly just stick to release windows at worst. Maybe it has to do with some directives from Sony/Microsoft/Google for all we know, which wouldn't be their fault.

I won't harp on CDPR for taking very early pre-orders, that's on me for performing an act of faith; having said that, I won't have the time to play it at release anymore.* Better off canceling the order and getting the game when I won't be overloaded with studies, or maybe during a flash sale or something. Not worth paying something full price if I won't use it for some time. I'll see if they announce anything for those who pre-ordered the game at the Night Wire event, maybe a character creator demo or something.

Learned my lesson, for the final time.

*And this is assuming it won't get delayed again.

 

[NyQuil]

Yeah I don’t do pre-orders.

If anyone was as idiotic as I was in pre-ordering the game, check Cyberpunk 2077 Goodies Collection on GOG.com to get some freebies I guess. Nothing earth shattering of course, but hey, free.

The game was Master of Orion 3.

Master of Orion was a classic - the first real space based 4X strategy game for PC.

They followed that up with the more sophisticated yet equally entertaining Master of Orion 2: Battle at Antares.

So, I pre-bought Master of Orion 3 - and it was a giant pile of dogshit. And I never pre-bought any game again.

 

[Osprey]

Ha Ha!

I loved both of the first two Master of Orion games and remember buying II, but waited for reviews of III. Of course, that didn't make it feel much less disappointing. In fact, come to think of it, I don't think that I've ever actually played it. The reviews were so disappointing that I never even bothered, even after getting it for free.

From Wikipedia:

This is generally attributed to an unwieldy and cumbersome user interface, poor space battle AI, a number of software bugs that caused the game to crash and were never fixed (save for the two patches that addressed a few of the worst bugs, Infogrames provided no support following the game's release), the suppression of many popular features of the previous games (such as genocide and refitting of obsolete space ships) combined with the absence of many of the promised new features (such as racial ethos systems and colonization of moons and asteroids, as opposed to the player being limited to planets), and lack of micromanagement or the general character and charm of the predecessors. One significant problem was poor enemy AI (although subsequent community-created unofficial patches made small improvements).

None of the original development team was involved in the production.[citation needed]

LOL, pretty much the entire game sucked.

 

[Chaels Arms]

I'm pumped to see this gameplay footage tonight.

Don't know if I've ever been as hyped for a game. Maybe Mass Effect 3? The awesome subject matter plus the fact it's being developed by CD Projekt Red has expectations really high.

 

[Papa Francouz]

I watched a few YouTube videos from some people that got to play the game for ~5 hours or so and my hype has only increased, and I never have hype for anything anymore. No idea if these thoughts are considered spoilers but I'll tag them just in case:

Spoiler

The fact that there are three unique starting "zones" in such a massive project is awesome. I can already see myself replaying the game to experience those zones and how they affect the story/interactions with NPCs. Just wish the melee combat wasn't harped on by just about everyone, as that means there are some obvious flaws with that game mechanic. Hopefully CDPR takes the next few months and irons out the issues people have with the melee combat. And even if they don't, it sounds like the positives vastly outweigh the negatives.

 

[S E P H]

I've only played ten hours or so of The Witcher - one game I plan on going back to in the future - and my main hope is that Projekt Red really fixes their player movement (it's on the same level of Rockstar bad, which is one of the worst for a AAA company). Thus far, we have gotten gameplay, but it seems to me that it has been highly structured and very animated versions and not really showing you walking in the public with a controller.

On the subject of expectations:

 

[mouser]

Thought it was pretty cool to see popular twitch streamer CohhCarnage reveal this week they put him in the game as an NPC with -90 line of voice acted dialogue he recorded for it.
