Been out of the loop for a while, how is the game today compared with when it was released?

It was very much playable and enjoyable on PC at release, the whole whining was mostly from console players and gullible folks from PC camp.
If you are on PC, just play it. You might want to wait for the Phantom Liberty to come out (September, IIRC); they are changing some core game mechanics there. I'm definitely going to play it then.
Currently I'm on my 3rd playthrough, on my 2nd one (last summer) it was a somewhat buggy patch, current state of the game feels amazing.
Indeed, I played at launch and personally experienced few bugs (mostly ghost cigs and johnnny T posing). I believe for pc folks it was mostly complaints content that cut from the game.
Either way it’s a good state currently and decent amount of mods being made as well. PL comes out this September 26th
Yup. The whining was hilarious because the same people would be praising whatever buggy release Bethesda would make.
Game was awesome back then and is now even better.
The whining made me kinda angry and made me realize average reddit gamer is a pathetic excuse for human being. Devs, writers, designers and all the rest had done exceptional job, marketing people fucked them and then this class action suit appeared.
Since then I don't care for what circlejerking gamers on the internet say. It's their parents' problem, not mine.
They did not do an exceptional job on the PS4 version I played, however you slice it. I didn't whine much publically but I did get a refund. It is way better on a decent PC now but at launch on PS4 it was unplayable.
Yup, this is next-gen game they tried to fit into obsolete hardware due to marketing stuff. I do not understand why one would buy it for weak hardware and then whine, guess advertisement was too good.
I bought it for the device I had, one which it was developed for. I don't think it's too much to expect the game to work.
Well come on, that is truly CDPR's fault to release it to last gen consoles, can't expect consumers to verify that it really runs.
I am programmer by trade, been doing it for last like 20 years and I've worked with exactly 1 project manager that helped and 1 more that didn't really matter. Every other project manager I worked with was bad for the managed project.
I think that's the case with CDPR: Cyberpunk 2077 was managed poorly. I'd they just didn't release it on consoles, made it PC exclusive for a couple of years, the game would probably fare better.
That said I as a PC person used to check game requirements and even if it looks ok I still do some research. Console players should do it too, it's not a hard skill and doesn't take much time, and if your are in a hype train this research would be enjoyable for you.
Running it on PC at initial release, I only ran into 2 bugs that required a reload and perhaps a crash or two. Vanilla Skyrim couldn't pull that off.
I haven’t finished elden ring yet so I reckon I will have a few weeks before end of story, and I’ll be getting that dlc as well after all the positive comments here!
Will the core mechanics be changed across the entire game when the dlc drops? Or only when playing within the new content
I've read somewhere that some mechanics will be changed for the whole game.
That said I avoid hype train and don't look for information, I'd rather experience it myself. And I'll preorder it, on GOG (so developers get more money).
Where did this fake narrative come from that only last gen consoles had problems? No AAA should have multiple obvious bugs 10min into the game (t pose, npcs walking through walls, entering the car from the wrong side, hovering cars and probably more) including a gamebreaking one.
I immediately refunded it when I got hardlocked on the hacking tutorial.
Also how is the police AI still worse than GTA San Andreas a 19 year old game? And please fuck off with that 2.0 patch excuse, it's too late. But tbh I'll pirate that version and play it anyway.
I played it on release, it was awesome. I didn't ride the hype train, and this game was far more than i expected.
I played it on laptop with Nvidia 2070 eGPU.
I preordered it a year or so before the release because I enjoyed other games by CDPR, and never regretted it.
I think i saw T-pose once. That didn't prevent me to enjoy this game thoroughly, to be lost in Night City and to weep for Jackie and to be lost in thoughts after Sinnerman quest line.
I never said some patch fixed it is going to fix the game, it is very good since release. DLC patch is going to change things, and I'm going to finish my 3rd playthrough this month and experience these changes in 4th playthrough.
I do not tend to kill civilians in Cyberpunk, maybe that's one reason I didn't notice police AI problems. It's not GTA. Maybe that's just my play style that helped me to avoid all the problems you encountered.
Even if that's the reason, dude, I can't stress enough how much I do not care for your opinion. This wall of text is for players that can enjoy good game, so they know Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the most enjoyable PC games one could play.
Yep seems like you don't care at all. I'll go cry by myself.
