@SargoyOfCuckkad Haven't watched it yet and yes

@SargoyOfCuckkad @matrix the anime is great, the game is shit

@PhilSchedia @matrix @SargoyOfCuckkad the game was always playable on PC tbh. Just like no man's sky, the problem wasn't with the game, the problem was with expectations and false promises. The game taken on face value is good and has only gotten better with updates, although it will likely never be the game we thought it would be until the modders get hold of the tools.

Anyway I've seen the first three episodes of the anime, it's pretty good.

@beardalaxy @PhilSchedia @matrix @SargoyOfCuckkad
Ok, what the fuck is happening?
Why is there no clear consensus on weather cyberpunk is unplayable or an actually good game?

@LukeAlmighty I have a feeling they're still patching the hell out of it. Nearly two years on, it looks playable.

@beardalaxy @PhilSchedia @matrix @SargoyOfCuckkad

@LukeAlmighty @PhilSchedia @matrix @SargoyOfCuckkad console players, because the game was so bad on console it literally got removed from it until it got better.

It's not Skyrim but cyberpunk. If you think of it more like a cyberpunk farcry game it's a lot better. It's way more story based. A lot of the things I found annoying about the original version have been patched, too.

The only thing I had really strong feelings about was the ending I got, which I thought sucked. Otherwise, I had a pretty good time with the game when I shifted what I thought it was supposed to be.

@LukeAlmighty @beardalaxy @PhilSchedia @SargoyOfCuckkad
1) because console peasants expected to their underpowered box would be the target hardware for an high fidelity open world rpg
2) retards who never played the game and just fell for the internet rage
3) people who played it but just rushed through the main story
4) there are legitimate issues with the game and they matter to some people more or less

@LukeAlmighty @beardalaxy @PhilSchedia @matrix @SargoyOfCuckkad It was unplayable on ps4 and whatever the fuck xbox's equivalent of the ps4 is called, but ran fine on everything else. Very buggy on release but playable on anything other than ps4 and xbox whatever. The biggest issue was that the majority of players were on last gen consoles that literally could not run the game.

Also it is not a good game and will probably never be a good game because the core gameplay mechanics are fundamentally flawed by their hamfisted attempt to make it a Fallout 4 esque lootyshooty rpg instead of just making it an FPS. The only way to fix it is to completely gut out all the pointless rpg mechanics like leveling that do literally nothing but make it a worse game.

@Alex @SargoyOfCuckkad @matrix @beardalaxy @PhilSchedia
Yeah, Fallout 4 was a painful experience.
Game pretends to be an RPG, but has about 10 quests total.

And if that wasn't enough, role-playing is literally impossible, and gunplay is based on bullet sponges.

@LukeAlmighty @PhilSchedia @SargoyOfCuckkad @beardalaxy @matrix I always describe its gameplay as "The worst of Borderlands mixed with the worst of Fallout 4".

@Alex @SargoyOfCuckkad @matrix @beardalaxy @PhilSchedia
Oh fuck...
How did you know I hated borderlands?

@Alex @SargoyOfCuckkad @matrix @LukeAlmighty @PhilSchedia maybe why I liked it is because I didn't use guns, I went full melee and just beat the shit out of everything, was pretty satisfying

@LukeAlmighty @beardalaxy @matrix @Alex @LukeAlmighty @beardalaxy @matrix @SargoyOfCuckkad @PhilSchedia It feels like half the game is this stupid pointless sandbox cuz you cannot just make THE Cyberpunk game without a useless open world city that adds nothing to the game but demands MORE shit that adds nothing to the game like police response and dead civilians

@beardalaxy @PhilSchedia @matrix @SargoyOfCuckkad majority of what is touted now as false promises was a combination of CD Projekt blowing their load about features that ended up cut way too early and the hype machine inventing ridiculous things that were later assumed to have been promised.

The game is still shit but it wasn't bad at launch unless you had a machine where it was broken (and broken-on-launch is the ${current_day} norm…)

@SargoyOfCuckkad @matrix yes whatever you imagine about the anime, it's better than that
