Is Cyberpunk 2077 good now?

from what i gathered by watching a couple of jewtubers, one relatively honest and one a self-admitted shill: the story isn't amazing material (since you mentioned blade runner or the cyberpunk classics, it's not that), it's not much of an rpg but still better than witcher 3 i guess, not much of a gta either... but at least it basically functions as a game

I have it and completed it a while back. It isn't a $60 game. Not even close. Definitely suggest waiting until it is on sale for far less.

If you feel like running around a city completing the usual random quests for people/finding unique weapons then you might have fun with it.

I have not really experienced the game in its current state. No idea what state it is currently in.

I'm a fan of open-world RPGs.

I think I'll pick it up next time it goes on sale.

Frankly, $40 is the most anyone should pay for a video game. imo

The old glitch compilation videos from when it was new are freaking hilarious.

I got the impression that when got they Keanu Reaves on board, they made the major mistake of throwing away a lot of what they had, and quick trying to transform it to be somewhat more around his character shoehorned in without making sure shit worked right and rushed it. I don't see it being any fault of Keanu, because I doubt he made any specific demands and they just handled everything poorly. They also did some really deceptive underhanded marketing of it. But with this much time passed and them still working on it, I'd guess things are remedied pretty well.

Man, most modern RPGs forget what the genre really is about. There are no stakes, no risk of failure, no real choices and consequences. There is a sense of freedom in some of them, but then the quests and actions you take are repetitive and uninspired. And to add to that, the sense of progression and growth is hardly ever done the way it's supposed to be. Even the overhyped and overglorified Witcher 3 doesn't hold a candle to something like the original Gothic games (only the first two). And if you want to get your mind blown as to what an actual role playing video game should be, i highly recommend playing the mod for Gothic 2 Gold, called Chronicles of Myrtana: Archolos, which puts to shame every RPG release since 2002.

Almost bought this without waiting for the sale, but decided against it because it is probably just due to the fact I had some maker's mark. Best to be frugal.

Also, if it goes on sale for half price in the near future, I'm going to feel like a real asshole.

Also, I'll be done with my T-break by then, and it will be more enjoyable high than tipsy.

I kind of determined that it is probably good, and worth my time.

Most of my paycheck goes to maxing out pre-tax investments, & pension contributions, and bills. The little bit of chump change I have afterwards to spend on fun needs to be spent wisely.

Also I wouldn't really know how to pirate it, and don't really mind dropping $30. Plus I want to ensure that there's stability with the game, with future updates and stuff. So I'm not really hip to the idea of pirating it.

There's that too.

It is probably going to be the only game I will have time to play. Also since I have limited SSD space (250 GB most of which hosts my OS and other necessities; thus only 97 GBs currently available ), it will be the only one I will have room for too.

I have a 1 TB (HDD) with 850 GBs free on my D drive, but apparently that isn't worth shit in the new age of gaming.

Waiting on the next 50% off sale.

I could buy it, but it is the principle of it now. I would hate to buy it and then it goes on sale the next day.

GOG's no-DRM policy discourages many game studios, especially when it comes to new content. So their library will never be as rich as that of Steam. However, for what's available - it is almost always better to use GOG.

It is a good thing I investigated this, because I would be super pissed off if my steam account got banned. Or I buy a code that get's my credit card info stolen.

Even on legit platforms you need to be careful.

Friday the 13th:The Game was fucking completely broken for over a year, but they still sold it on steam.

Fallout 3 and Manhunt were incompatible with modern operating systems, requiring you to fix it with modifications made by fans.

I recall buying Double Dragon the arcade version on Xbox back in the day, and one day it was unplayable because they lost the rights.
