So, the question is whether Cyberpunk 2077 has changed in some significant manner since the controversially disastrous launch a few months back. The answer is yes, for good reasons as well as bad ones. The developer has made progress, but the future longevity of the game is in serious doubt at this po
Imagine a questline breaking in the middle of a mission, simply because a character lacked the right Attribute requirements? How about cars driven by key NPCs missing a turn, or a new objective not triggering when it’s supposed to? This is just scratching the surface of a much bigger problem, but it seems like CD Projekt Red is burning the midnight oil to try and patch up as many missions as possible. That’s wise if they want to sell more cop
Then, out of nowhere, a truck explodes. Bullets begin to whiz past me. On one side of me, a group of bordertown rebels are attacking the guards, not caring if any innocent civilians get caught between their crosshairs. On the other side, the Tower guards at the gate respond by unleashing hell with their automatic rifles and tower turrets. I’m caught in the crossfire and I need to move. As I start, though, I hear the screams of the child that’s trapped in the cabin of the exploded truck. She’s somehow still alive – her mother, the driver of the truck, not so lucky. I could easily start running the opposite direction, away from the chaos. Instead, I take a chance and sprint towards the truck in an attempt to save the child while staying alive myself – a dice roll with odds that aren’t exactly in my fa
‘Anti-consumer’ is a phrase used a lot in gaming, and not always accurately. It’s not anti-consumer that Nintendo doesn’t support Smash Melee tournaments, for example, and while locking story content behind DLC is awfully money grubbing, I’m not sure it’s technically ‘anti-consumer’. Cyberpunk 2077 on PS4 undoubtedly is, however. It’s a PS4 game being sold on PS4 while the PS4 makers tell you not to play it on the PS4. I know we’re all bored of talking about Cyberpunk 2077 by now, but this seems to be sneaking under the radar. It’s disgraceful that our industry allows it, and it’s a worrying sign of the growing divide between the players and the suits out to make a quick b
I continue to sit back and watch until an announcement comes over the gate’s loudspeaker that rudely informs everyone that the border is closed for the night and to come back tomorrow. Another typical day as I wait for my chance to get through the gate myself – or at least gain enough insight and information to find some other way to get on the other side of the w
The Monster Hunter series has really stepped up its character creator settings with each new title. Do you want to be a women with sideburns? Done. Do you want intense curls? Done. Afro, dreadlocks, and long luscious locks? This game has it
Cyberpunk 2077, the biggest cautionary tale in modern gaming, is officially back on the PS Store. It kind of feels like that Spongebob meme – you know, that one and only meme from Spongebob – where some guy finds Patrick’s wallet, only Patrick insists it’s not his. Well, Patrick is CDPR , the driving license is Cyberpunk 2077 , the wallet is a standard PS4, and that blue guy is all of us. Aren’t memes even funnier when someone describes them badly instead of using a meme generator site? What’s that? No?! Well, screw you pal. The point is Cyberpunk 2077 is once more available on PS4 , except it’s not rea
I don’t like the game – even without the questionable content, I thought most of the world was pretty uninspiring, Us Cracks were the only characters vaguely off the beaten path that I enjoyed, and rebelling against what the game wanted from me by using it as a fashion simulator (or speaking to the people making it into a fashion magazine ) was the most fun I had. But still, it’s a blockbuster release, and I take no pleasure in seeing the people who like it – even the people who supported it at its most toxic – getting screwed over like this. I’m not winning because they’re losing. Nobody is winning except the people making money, and that’s what got Cyberpunk 2077 into this mess in the first pl
Some video games have much better hair customization than others. The best hair customization includes many choices colors, highlights, lengths, curls, and styles. One particular factor many game character customizations lack is hair options for BIPOC characters. Some games, however, step up to the plate and deliver diversity in their hair opti
CD Projekt Red had made the rather unrealistic announcement that they wanted to get free DLC content in the hands of players within the first quarter of 2021, but clearly that’s not happening. It isn’t known when players can expect their first DLC package to come out, but it’s looking like Q3 of 2021, or even la
Upon entering the game for the first time, there’s a bit of a learning curve. I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s super steep, but the interface can be a little overwhelming until you spend some time with it. There’s also often a vagueness in the narrative that takes some getting used to. However, I think this adds to the game’s immersive experience. You’re essentially a newcomer to the bordertown, tasked with somehow getting through the gate into Cincinnati. You’re not really given any direction and Https://Earnshortener.com are left to figure things out on your own. This “picking yourself up by the bootstraps” experience forces you to be uncomfortable and confused at first, but eventually pays off as you learn the nuances of the g
