If this patch is legit the biggest they've put out so far, they are doing a TERRIBLE job of showing what is changing.

One thing they apparantly haven't changed:


MEET HANAKA AT EMBERS


Edit: now the dude's lecturing how difficult it is to release patches. Are you serious bro?
ikr? They are a joke
 
So the DLC is a car? :\ Not even a proper side quest?
Oh some jackets and alternate appearance for Johnny. Another meh patch. Wanted to replay it on PC but eh, I'll wait more I guess.

dude they are still on patching in things like a fucking minimap zoom. Dont expect that patch this year if ever
Honestly this whole mess could have been avoided if they never announced that stupid misguided april 2020 release date. That essentially pidgeonheld them to 2020 for their investors. I mean if you need proof that shit was misguided as fuck, the game was delayed like 4 times until the very last possible moment it could have launched to make last year. They should have kept their mouths shut, cancelled the last gen versions, and delayed this game internally until either the end of 2021 or some time next year. Imagine how much better that game would have been without the baggage of the ps4 and xbox one holding it down, plus an extra year or two of development time and polish?
 
This Patrick Mills moron pretty much sums up why video games in general are going down the toilet. Admits he's a "terrible" gamer and seems more interested in having a cat companion in the game. That guy is designing quests for what's supposed to be an edgy game.

They couldnt do a minimap zoom because they had performance/ram issues. Really? It tells me that your engine is a PoS
Something is telling me they have large bitmap file, which they move it on x/y axis, without using of chunks. Or chunks loads slowly, which would be in line of Cyberpunk 2077.

The game needed another year. It's clear they're all still way too busy fixing it to focus on expansions or even the current-gen patch, I'll wait with revisiting it till then.

The minimap also takes different floor levels and stuff into account. Wouldn't be surprised if they just use a top-down render of the entire game map and stream that in.
 
I have a bug where one of the cyberpsycho's just disappeared after I killed him and I can't complete that questline at all on pc. Only thing I need to get 100% on the game and ill be done with it forever no looking back lol

Im gonna reinstall and try to see if it got fixed, doubt it

Despite all of it's bugs I really loved this game, I played it back at launch and had to spend hours just "re-doing" stuff and save-scumming to try and fix missing event triggers and such, but even with all those frustrations, I came away from it just loving it. Really tempted to do another play-through but the next-gen patch is probably ages away if they are still bug fixing this thing. I would say to people on the fence that it's a great game, it was just released way too early; but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it now if they've ironed the worst of those bugs out and you can pick it up for pretty cheap, for all of it's flaws it does feel like a real epic story.

You can have more pictures on top of each other and control alpha (opacity). I believe the vector based render would be quite intensive, could be though. Hmm....

When you have to rush things you will cut corners. If you then want to build on that rushed foundation you are shooting yourself in the foot. So you have to rewrite the hastily included elements, and when that is done, you can start implementing new things. Either this or something is not right.

Patch Notes
  • Turrets should now have a common target with NPCs.
  • Adjusted the NPCs' behaviour when their car is stolen.
  • NPCs will no longer react by crouching to every gunshot.
  • Fixed an issue where some NPCs wouldn't run away from combat scenes.
  • Traffic vehicles will now honk after hitting V.
  • Vehicles will no longer get stuck in their position upon saving and loading the game while they're in the air.
This part is hopeful.

Everyone keeps talking about the next gen patch but what is the point? Its just going to be a broken game in 4k with 60 fps, maybe 30 fps with ray tracing ... :messenger_grinning_smiling:
It's still a new gen. As well as GTA5 sold on last gen consoles, it really took off after it hit next gen consoles a year after launch. The game will continue to sell as more and more people pick up consoles. But they need to restore some goodwill and fix the patches to sell the game.

LGBT is widely accepted, we have let's say well known Gays and Trans people (trans could get surgery during Bolshevik, for example), BLM is whatever obviously. But none of it it's extreme, as in Czech way everything is "meh whatever", nothing is pushed in media movies and stuff, but it's also not frown upon when gay couple shows up, it's simply "meh".

LGBT marriage is not in full effect, but you can have "registered partner", which I think in many cases is preferable. Would love that as straight option too. You know divorce and shit...

To be honest in regards to BLM, when police killed that junkie gypsy (recent example), people on very fringe left, wanted him to paint as some "George Floyd" and foreign media picked up on it. But it has standard procedure here, you have here something called "right to live" and if even police kills you, there is an independent investigation. If there was excessive force, etc. And it wasn't, he was deemed that he was danger to society, court ruled out. And also one other incident in parlament where some put banner with BLM and it was removed and the person ridiculed (as in "american problems, don't care").

And pride parade here, is just meh one day event in in Prague center mostly. And gay people I know, just don't fucking care.

However I believe the situation is quite different in Poland, at least from outside perspective. The recent ban on abortion, is pretty severe for example. I believe that religious theme and religious population is quite the opposite to us. I believe we are in top 3 least religious countries, ~95% of population has religious affiliation.

I am strongly opposed the USA (well through there UK for a good measure) influence over social politics, but I believe that limit the people's rights isn't the right thing to do. Which is kind of mantra of conservative society.

But it's not all rainbows and bunnies here, currently we are ratifying "2nd amendment", proposed by our alcoholics demented president and I hate it. We are on of the safest place on earth, so it clearly works, so no need to change it like this. And you could get gun licence with pretty strict tests no issues before, but now it's probably going to get way easier, which think about the "maladjusted citizens" makes me worried.

What your politics looks like is how it should have been, give people many freedoms but not force any of this shit.

I prefer having right wing government than left wing but this religion bullshit should be out of the picture and country should be secular. I'm against abortion at will (it's basically murder) but with many genetical disorders and stuff it should be available option, it was quite ok before current "PISs" decided to fuck it up.

the two modern deus ex are really similiar in terms of feeling to cyberpunk, minus the open world but plus an overall better and more interconnected level design

as far as best rpgs that are not isometric, the old fallout new vegas (and fallout 3, haven't layed fallout 4) walk all over cyberpunk in terms of actual roleplaying, with actual choices and different approaches, factions and such

in fact witcher 3 offers more chances for roleplay than cyberpunk

New Deus Ex games are quite good but also basic in some aspects. The're like Witcher 2 compared to Witcher 3 (CP), being more focused could make them better for some people.

New Vegas is probably more bugged than CP at launch, I heavent played it but i heard many times that it's one of the best games in terms of impact of dialog choices. And yes W3 has more of that than CP.

Disco Elysium. Even with a fixed character (at least as far the beginning of the game goes), so much more role-playing options than Cyberpunk.

...and also Wasteland 3. And yes, both games are isometric, but who cares?

I personally avoid isometric games so they could be brillant but chance of me playing them is quite low.

It's a meh patch but its a step in the right direction, the game is getting fixed and its getting better and its getting those free dlcs as usual from them, so i'm not happy with it but im not disappointed like others too, its just fine. The game is 3/5 for me, its not going to become 5/5, no miracles of this sort, this is the real world not the anime world. So people hoping for the miracle and some amazing patch to turn around the game are delusional, and some people are just haters that will never say anything good, and some are just blind fanboys that are satisfied with it probably lower standards but whatever, overall this patch is fine because it guarantees that they are still working and fixing the game trying to make it better, they acknowledged the issues and they confirmed an expansion is in the making, i would say thats decent. Hopefully the expansion for this game can be way better than the main game, if the main story of it is top notch and it introduces good characters and some new mechanics that should be pretty good.

I dont think those people waiting for it to be fixed are making a good move, in the end the game released is done, it may get slightly better but thats it, and as for the expansion you play it when its released, so go ahead and play the current game now, its a decent game, it has good highs too, some part are very good, its not going to go to complete overhaul if you are waiting for that you are just wasting the time, next year i mean 2022 is a stacked year and many great games are coming so you will not have the time to play it, now the year 2021 is boring and lackluster, go ahead and launch it now if you already bought it.

I get what your saying but you can't compare GTA 5 to cyberpunk.

GTA 5 is actually a very good game lol

Just a side note, forcing something is what I am against which includes forcing gay people behave straight or shit like that. I hope that you understand what I mean, they should not be shamed.

I also wonder how much abortions from healthy individuals are there, since we have those "baby boxes", where you can put anonymously new born baby for example, which also drives number of abortions down. However medical concerns etc, it just should be there available. I think it's demented USA politic, which makes it seems to be some genocide. Not sure how about you, but people around me, when they lost baby during birth are decimated. I was big in hook-ups and can't say I ever heard about abortions, like if that would be a thing. That's why I always wore protection, because not sure if those "oh I have a pill" could be trusted (and well I always know girl for some time, so it wasn't exactly from the health reasons)

And as with government, I want them to have zero or very little to say in these "social issues", because sooner or later, someone is going to use as a campaign talking points and then we are going to have either Russia or America situation in our countries. Fuck that.

Also when we are taking sides, here basically center-right and center-left has been trading positions since fall of Bolshevik, I generally don't care. But Babiš can go fuck himself, whatever the fucking politic position he is holding (just "money" probably).

Tell me a game that has
- better dialogues,
- atmosphere,
- graphics.
The Witcher 3. The graphics are not as good but still hold up nicely. I can't tell you how many games I have played with amazing graphics yet be incredibly boring and broken.

Also, New Vegas wipes the floor with RPG mechanics and dialogue and that game came out on the 360/PS3.
