Thread 718867081

What features those who were left disappointed want for cyberpunk 2077 to be added for it to be what you were promised?

I was never part of the hype and only got the game recently and thought it was ok, it entertained me where GTA4 and 5 bored me to tears and left unfinished.

apart from the game being totally broken at launch, was there anything promised that wasn't in the game? I also ignored all the hype and got the game like a year ago. It's not fantastic but it's pretty good and still looks amazing.

I wish the city actually felt alive. Despite the NPCs and vastness of some areas, Night City felt very dead, quiet, and static. Save for random encounter gangs. I don't know how to fix that, just my observation.

They would need to scrap the whole game then rebuild it from scratch to give people the deep, mature RPG they promised instead of the Bethesda style looter shooter slop we got.

>>718867589
what exactly are you missing? I remember in early versions that there was barely any traffic if you were driving fast with cars suddenly popping in if you slowed down. Is it that there are not enough buildings you can enter?

>>718867081 (OP)
I just wish there were things to do besides combat and driving. I want to break into people's apartments and rob them blind. I want to play pachinko. I want to go on a proper date with Panam. I want to recreate the kung fu scene in the Matrix but with kicking the shit out of Johnny for trying to take over my body

>>718867081 (OP)
>what you were promised

you're promised whats it reads on the storefront page or back of the physical box?

they should just commit to making a deus game game hub or something instead of the whole open world city bs

>>718867713
>the deep, mature RPG
When you guys say rpg is it like videogame rpg or tabletop rpg?

>>718867081 (OP)
Wallrunning, shit to explore on top of the buldings, people having parties up there, etc
games need more fucking verticality, man

>>718867954
>I want to play pachinko
that is fair. Why are there not more slice of life activities other than drinking and some arcade games here and there?

>>718867081 (OP)
make driving better for the love of god please everything feels like youre driving on ice

>>718868282
the driving is fine you are thinking of GTA 4

this thread feels like AI talking to itself

>>718868325
you can't take sharp turns in this game and cars (especially sports cars) swerve like crazy

>>718867589
I hear this criticism a lot - that Night City doesn't allow for much interactivity. I get that, but for some reason I can't bring myself to hate it. There is something so memorable and real about Night City that made me feel immersed in its setting. I feel the same way about Witcher 3.

>>718868339
your zoomie brain is just fried by chatgpt

It's an ubisoft tier shallow action game with no world reactivity or real role playing or character building, and no amount of revisionism will ever make it a decent game

>>718867258
>was there anything promised that wasn't in the game?
The big thing that I felt was promised and undelivered on was a truly branching narrative with tons of replay value. The story was fine for a single playthrough but was incredibly dull on return because all narratives coalesce to a single track.

>>718867081 (OP)
The game isn't an rpg, it's a generic as fuck GTA clone. They said that every decision in the city was going to influence your reputation with the dozens of factions but there aren't any actual factions in the game. There's basically no augmentations either and the weapon selection is bland and uninspired. Skill system is a joke

>>718867081 (OP)
Not so much of a feature, but the Johnny Silver hand story line is so eye rolling and annoying. I want this guy out of my current character's head asap but I'm trying toa void spoilers on if its even possible.

>enterable restaurants
>waitresses that actually bring food
>unique NPCs such as the guy on a scooter or the guy carrying stuff in a market (not just random NPCs, but NPCs that belong to the area, like the homeless guy walking up to the homeless camp)
>NPCs talking to you on the street
>verticality and stores inside buildings
>animated crime scenes
>enterable strip clubs with interiors and bouncers
>joytoys everywhere, not just the 4 you can get now
>shop menus that actually exist in the game world and not just a typical game menu
>animations for getting new cyberware
>non linear quests with multiple approaches and outcomes and open world events
>NPCs using elevators
>drone companions
>interesting inspect animations
>bringing random NPCs home and just interacting with the world. Theres barely any interaction right now aside from stores and the metro
theres probably a lot more stuff but also cool details in general like Dex watching TV in his car while waiting for V (in the current version hes just sitting there)

>>718867081 (OP)
>>718867081 (OP)
Make a small scale game with cool aesthetics like Ruiner.

>>718868339
Would those chatbots have loose enough shackles call you a faggot?

>>718867081 (OP)
For me it was mainly the "sandbox" elements. Early on they kind of made it sound like it was gonna be their version of Skyrim. While in the end it was just Witcher 3 but worse.

>>718868494
>>718868495
>muh decisions should have consequences
Despite the fact that CDPR made these promises, did people really expect the game to turn into some kind of Baldur's Gate 3 clone? If you played Witcher 3 prior, you knew exactly what to expect from Cyberpunk.

>>718868823
I did at least expect there to be factions, you know, the entire point of the setting. But nope, it's a generic linear action game with a netflix daytime television tier plot

I didn't pay any attention to the stuff the promised and played it only after 2.0. I thought it was really fun. I probably would've liked more RPG elements and for the life paths to matter more though.

>>718868823
Games are great at having unrealistic expectations

>4.5 years later manchildren are still crying about this game.
It was extremely successful regardless of what you autistic faggots think.

they promised a rpg and it was nothing like a rpg. gta sa is more of a rpg than cyberpunk is.

>>718868974
so was Jack & Jill it's still totally valid to dunk on it

>>718868823
nta but cyberpunk doesn't even have a questline as good as bloody baron, novigrad or olgierd from hearts of stone, i expected quests in similar quality

>>718868823
Also balding gay bears 3 is just as lackluster as cyberpunk, it's all a facade of depth that doesn't actually do anything in the background

>>718868503
heres a list of things that cdpr tells cp is about on their store page if you want to buy it

https://www.gog.com/en/game/cyberpunk_2077

what more do you need?

>>718868823
Funny example you used, because W3 is actually extremely reactive to how you play the game, choices you make, order of quests you go through, etc. There is hidden dialog in the game that only happens in extremely specific situations 99.9% of people will never see, but are there in case you decided to progress the game in a completely different way. This is one thing that Witcher 3 does exceptionally well.

>>718868282
unironically why I'm glad autopilot is a thing now. Also I love fast driving but the context isn't the same; most cars are *supposed* to be on autopilot; therefore public/NPC freakouts and similar behaviors are stilted compared to an LA highway.

>>718868339
the game would be an incredible test bed for AI though. Applied to NPC dialogue, spawning and behavior, the whole city could light up with interesting things to do.

>>718868029
No they're talking about the pitch when the game was five years before release, before the devs themselves knew how the final game would be.

>>718868823
>did people really expect the game to turn into some kind of Baldur's Gate 3 clone?
Yes, I did expect CDPR to follow up on their promise and deliver a branching narrative with player choice and was disappointed that they did not.

>If you played Witcher 3 prior, you knew exactly what to expect from Cyberpunk
They did not promise a branching narrative with player choice in Witcher 3 so I did not expect that from Witcher 3. Witcher 3 also follows a single well established character so I would have the meta expectation of less player agency than an RPG with no overarching story beyond the immediate game.

>>718869120
ah so its >>718868339
cool

>>718869120
You obviously don't remember their ad campaign a few weeks before release in November 2020, where they were still advertising things like clothing styles that would directly impact how NPC's would treat you, or how certain districts like Pacifica would require armored vehicles because of how unsafe it was (there were no armored vehicles on release, and Pacifica was exactly the same as every other district).

>>718868974
>it was extremely successful
This is a Xitter argument. The Star Wars sequel trilogy was extremely successful in the sense that it made a shit ton of money, yet those movies are some of the worst slop produced in recent film history.

>>718868615
heres some more
>guy buying a Samurai viny isnt some random NPC but a punk
>Jackie flips a car to get cover
>hacking with depth (current version is just a rip off of Watch Dogs)
>destructible environments
>interactive ads
>NPCs who work out are dressed like theyre working out (in current version theres NPCs lifting in jeans and shirt)
>police doing investigations and visiting people in the world
>missions requiring preparation (the narrator implies that going guns blazing is bad because it requires a lot of ammo, while in the current version ammo means fuck all. You dont even need to buy it or craft it)
>megabuildings are more fleshed out with their own markets and stuff
>watching BDs anytime

>>718868823
witcher 3 is a movie game with pre established main character based on a book. I was hoping that Cyberpunk would actually reflect being based on an RPG. But instead of a movie game the game is more like a visual novel

>>718868615
>>718869402
The worst part about that demo is that at E3 they specifically said this was a working build of the game, and that the person doing the demo was actually playing with the controller. When we know now that by that point in time they had nothing to show and they prerendered that entire demo and pretended to play it.

>>718868823
Honestly, I don't even care that much about decisions. I just wanted some ultra basic roleplaying elements.

As it stands the only roleplay options in the game was pretty much:
>Cyberpunk Geralt
>Cyberpunk Geralt with tits
>Cyberpunk Geralt with tits and a cock

>>718867081 (OP)

when i played most of the stalls you couldn't sit down and eat how am i supposed to role play if i can't eat

>>718867081 (OP)
Early on it was marketed as an RPG, and wish they had kept that promise.

>>718869082
Cyberpunk does the exact same thing. I'd argue it's even better in that game, since the narrative choices you make in side quests actually have more of an impact on the main story.

>>718869235
You're so fucking stupid

>>718868459
It is a decent game imo, but it's not an RPG.

>>718870041
lol. lmao.

>>718867081 (OP)
I don't think the game has enough roleplaying opportunities. You're always railroaded into being the same character.

Also there should be an option to play without chrome at all, and when you decide to get chromed, it should be a big decision you can't fully undo.

>>718869845
try going to the gym instead of stuffing your face for a change you fat fuck

i really liked the game but it didn't feel alive. it was a very straight forward action game set in an open world, but it was all just surface level. there is so much stuff that they could have added to flesh out the world more. for example:
- more verticallity, night city's buildings are tall, let me explore the roofs more
- trauma team being a regular part of the world, in game you see them in like one mission. the trauma team comic for example is really good
- you see enemies with exoskeletons/mechs - i want to use them
- barely any maxtec in game unless you trigger them by going on a rampage gta style
- there is flying vehicles - i want to use them, not just ground level cars

there is more stuff that i cant think of right now. but overall the game felt kinda shallow. i really enjoyed the voice acting and dialogue in game and the gunplay and music were fucking good. stories were also good mostly, but especially the phantom liberty dlc and i did enjoy the comics, e.g. XOXO and the trauma team one stood out for me.

>>718869557
the lies were fucking horrible. Remember when they said that Keanu played the game and he loved it so much that they couldnt pull him away form the controller lmao?? Or how they lied even in the apology video.

>>718870532
you don't get it

>>718868615
>>718869402
for me this is the main thing. i like the city itself and missions, but it's closer to GTA san andreas than RDR2 when it comes to how living everything feels

> more creative hacks, instead of it being just "spells"

these too.

>>718870695
the world feels more dead than GTA 3 let alone SA. The world feels more dead than even their previous game!

>>718871474
Trauma Team is such a cool concept a faction. Too bad we don't see much of it in the game

>>718868339
It is probably some community manager at cd projekt being reprimanded YET AGAIN that making surveys from posters on their forums and official channels have little to no value whatsoever and who now has to go out of xer way to collect data on this half-decade old game in a place like this.

>>718867081 (OP)
I would have liked it if I could have had a different story to choose than the one that's in the game, what happens when I replay it and have to do that rigmarole again
