Gamespot reviewer, Kallie was given death threats. She was go through the game without crafting and mocked for it.

I think she deserves an award, best reviewer of the year, BROTY or something

 

Polygon on other hand went full woke-a*s 

 

"XYZ didn't play the game properly" is a classic defence you can pull against a low score for any sh*t game. RE6 fans basically perfected that technic

Have you even played the game or just riding the bandwagon because she rated low so she must be right???

 

She skipped side stuff. She skipped crafting. She skipped upgrades. All these have been absolutely major part of this game... Street cred unlocks a bunch of stuff and Act 2 literally opens up even lots of side missions that play out actual missions and not gigs. Upgrade character and their skills changes full gameplay including gunplay and the way you want to approach the quests.

 

Just because she rated it 7/10 (while playing on PC) doesn't change the fact that her review was shite. She got lucky that game is piss poor on consoles which helped the oc score. If she so right, they wouldn't have turned off the comment section where people were pointing out all the mistakes. 

 

PC version plays great if not perfect. 2 crashes and couple of non-game break bugs in ~75 hours. But hey, it's on reddit, so it is must be happening for everyone. 

 

 

?

 

I am at the level where I believe reviews are purely person opinions and their right as their FoS.

It doesn't matter how good/bad game actually is, or what YOU think about it personally,  or how YOU think the way reviewer should've played the game, it is the reviewers' experience and only that matters here.
 

About PC Vs Console, I can tell you this, if the reviewers weren't so overwhelmed by the marketing and generosity of CDPR, they would've rated it very differently.

Again, some of them could've still given it a 9ner but that's their prerogative.

Plays RPG game while skipping every RPG stuff, skipping major portion of the game and then complain about the game. Okay. You do you. 

 

When console version is fixed, you can try it yourself and see how wrong she is/was. ?

I kinda wish this was TP right now. FP is not a deal breaker but personally I feel this screams for TP.

Absolutely true 

Just running through an RPG game without the level up & upgrade mechanics is very foolish 

 

it must have been the race to post the review as early as possible 

 

The fact that she was even able to do that is pretty damning, though. And I think she did try stuff, but didn't pursue any because of tight deadlines and was still able to complete the game.

 

I've read the same about inconsequential systems from the Giant Bomb guys as well. The bigger outlets actually have excellent reviewers, who make well researched and thought-out arguments either way (Gamespot, IGN, etc.). Gamespot in particular gets a lot of hate for some reason, but yet - it's the internet.

 

VERY MINOR SPOILERS for a section shown off in the E3 demo:

 

I've also seen a video where V specifically tells border security that she isn't aligned with a clan, but then says something completely contradictory to Jackie after the end of that mission. It's crazy, and that's just in the prologue. It's like the writers just just did the bare minimum, and QA didn't catch it. Keep in mind that I'm not really concerned with the bugs. It's the core design that's come out looking worse. Why throw in features in your design doc (open world, conversations, etc.) when you can't develop for it?

You also tell Jackie that you're not part of any gang when you first meet him, yet the dialog still happens. The choice system is the biggest joke that spawned its own memes. I always selected the most a**hole-ish response and it made zero difference in the end.

CDPR changed the positioning of the game long back. Was this a ploy to get more audience or their RPG was not RPG enough?

 

From their website:

Quote

Cyberpunk 2077 is an open-world, action-adventure story set in Night City, a megalopolis obsessed with power, glamour and body modification. You play as V, a mercenary outlaw going after a one-of-a-kind implant that is the key to immortality. You can customize your character’s cyberware, skillset and playstyle, and explore a vast city where the choices you make shape the story and the world around you.

That's the thing. They can fix the bugs, but are they going to fund rewrites, and re-records, or even significant dev and QA time to add missing features? Saying it'll be fixed is only addressing bugs in the game, and not the bigger issues.

 

That said, there's precedent for them fixing these things, albeit when they were a much smaller company and before they went dolla crazy. The Witcher 2 on console was a very different game, with a completely different opening sequence.

Has anyone here done the Side Job "They won't Go When I go"?

 

That entire:

Crucifixion Scene!! OMG...

 

Made me shiver!

I just finished that this morning. And it was odd to put it mildly. I'm still early in so I'm willing to see how it goes. But yea that was weird.

[CarbonCore]

Its fun if you plow through the story and side quests like its a straight up action-adventure game with perks and RPG elements (like any modern AAA game). But then Avengers is also fun, more fun than both Spidey games, if you ignore all the Gaas stuff and play it as 10 hr SP game.

I can never get used to how sick!! the graphics are!

[Black_Hawk]

@Joe Cool: So, I have this weapon called the Defender. I bought a nice scope from a weapon's store and a muzzle. The scope fits the weapon all fine and dandy but I am unable to fit the muzzle on it so the damn thing is too loud for a stealth approach.

 

Are muzzle weapon specific in this game? I can't seem to find any info about it so far on the internet.

Defender is a machine gun iirc.

If you want for stealth use pistol/smg/ar/sniper rifle.

In the pistol perk tree there is all specific skills to give increased damage on headshot, increased crit on headshot, etc.

btw is there any specific reason folks like Oda can get optic camo( invisibility ) and V can't?

Imagine playing W3 where u skip all side content. Thats not how u review RPG games my guy. Sorry.

 

Atleast try and see if its good or bad, she said she just ignored everything in the game.

Pistols and Revolvers are enough to go the stealth route... get the Overture revolver or Comrades hammer, put a purple silencer and a crit mod and your good to go, invest in crit skills in the revolver tree
