Side Quests: Cyberpunk 2077 Remains Unrivaled | MMORPG.com
Shank comes back to talk about why Cyberpunk 2077 has aged like fine wine, and why it should be celebrated.

Its still has quite a few bugs however there some mods to fix those like for example the missing animation for the skippy quests and the missiing audio in the hunt quest etc
Brenics ~ Just to point out I do believe Chris Roberts is going down as the man who cheated backers and took down crowdfunding for gaming.
I'd slightly disagree with that. Mass Efect (1-3 or legendary edition) is the best scifi on PC and frankly it tops even most mainstream TV/Movie scifi frankly. Cyberpunk has grown to be great indeed. But Mass Effect is something I'm not sure anything is gonna top that anytime soon or ever. The only thing I pray is that they don't clusteruck it up with the upcoming game the way they did with Andromeda.
Now before assuming i hate Cyberpunk 2077, i don't, I've played through it twice when it launched and was one of the lucky ones that had a fairly bugfree experience; -but there are bugs, and then there is unfinished/lazy game design.
Watch these two videos, and then come back and let me know if they ever fixed the things these two videos outline, because they are pretty major details that i feel like any intelligent gaming consumer takes notice of, and asks: "why on earth was this game launched with practically unfinished character modeling??"
Convince me that CDPR has fixed these small details and began caring about it's world building and simple things like water actually being believable when interacting with it, or climbing ladders without it looking like the character is just hovering vertically .

Another feature no-one touts is the cross-platform saves. It's amazing being able to play on the PC and the Xbox after I come home from a long day of work and just want to be a couch potato. Launch the game, load the save, continue from where you left off on the PC. Quickhack builds with smart weapons are seriously OP.
I'm sort of on cross-roads lately. On one had, yes, Cyberpunk had a terrible launch (although I still clocked 150 hours at launch). It was in an era where we expected more from AAA games. Rightfully so.
However lately, games are becoming 70$/pop, subscriptions are rising in MMOs and we get NOTHING in return. As the article states - forspoken, calisto protocol hell even Hogwarts Legacy runs like an ass on PC but at least it's a decent game.
I'm seriously scared about the future of gaming. Videocard prices are through the roof. The midrage is starting at $600 ... this used to get you the top of the line GPU. And even with those GPUs, games run like donkey on the PC, be it due to Denuvo or some other crap. The games are uninspired to say the least.
...
Or am I just getting old? We'll see. 2023 seems poised with new launches. I hope I'm proven wrong. The xbox I mentioned earlier? I bought it as a protest to PC hardware pricing. So instead of a 4080 I bought an xbox and will continue to do so until things normalize. PC gaming is dead to me, safe for some older titles anyway.
I think he talks about it because it is part of the story. Without talking about the poor launch (I was a lucky one and didn't have many issues) you lose some of the context of the article. It's sort of like talking about NMS without talking about its launch.
I do miss my totally broken quick hacks through walls' original build now that they patched that out though Now I have to bother actually entering buildings to slaughter everything

Heck, you can't even buy one online without paying scalpers outrageous prices or going to ridiculous efforts to track down when they are on sale somewhere for an hour or two.

I got mine from Amazon without even wanting one on Jan 6th. It was an impulse buy. Paid the retail price. Not sure why people are having trouble buying them still.
