Cyberpunk 2077 suffered from over-promising as well as people expecting things that also were never going to happen. Some of the other issues on launch like police and people were really only noticeable under certain playstyles. I had 100%'d the game by around 1.3 or 1.4 (and I took my time) and had very few bugs, all quest ones easily solved, and while there were some shortcomings with the game it was very few. Mostly, the ending. I just don’t like finishing a game and being put back into my last save with the quest still active. I don’t really if the ending makes it not make sense canonically… Other than that, my main issue was a bit in regards to end-game perspective. Once you complete all the quests, you’re effectively no longer able to be a passenger anywhere. No metro system (can be modded in though) and no taxi and no friends, just me driving around, unlike the rest of the game where I was just a passenger watching the city. I can’t drive dude, I’ll get a relic attack and kill us (plus I wanna get stoned to Night City). There was a cool mod for cruise control though, which somewhat solved my issue.
I recently loaded up my save just to see how it’s running and I’m glad to see it’s even better than it had been, though still not much for me to do lol. What I think I’m most excited for is once PL releases the game is officially complete. Modders hopefully will come to finish their mods and the game can truly be the best it could be. It doesn’t have the extent of Skyrim modding but it’s got a lot of potential. No more patches breaking things :)
All in all I had a great experience with 2077 on a 2070 -> 3080, though I didn’t following the marketing past the E3 release video so the only thing I missed was wall-climbing with the Mantis Blades. I got my Spider-Man (rope-swing) mod and that’s good enough for me.
See, so many of the things below I can think of about games I was addicted to but wasn’t really enjoying. Like, if I’m hearing the music while I fall asleep? That’s a sign I’ve been playing it a crap load, but I also can think of many games that sucked me in chasing carrots and kept me up until dawn… but the actual fun parts were fleeting.
Games I actually enjoy have me grinning like a maniac once I start getting into top-tier flow with the actions available, like threading needles in a racing game.
It's a scifi roguelike where you lead a team of prospectors to try to recover valuables from across space to make enough money to retire.
Kind of in an odd spot source-wise, as the recent source code technically isn't open/available (last open releases were 10+ years ago), so it may no longer really fit, but seemed worth mentioning nevertheless.
I’m glad I’ve barely started it even though it’s been in my library for a while. Hopefully this is much closer to their vision. Looking forward to Thursday!
I've been replaying a new character lately in preparation for Phantom Liberty. I'm fucking hyped as hell to learn about Idris Elba's character after that new trailer that they released a few days ago.
I’ve not really been playing anything this past week. I’m putting off a second playthrough of BG3 as I want to wait for at least one more major patch and some more mods to come out/get refined, but after seeing some of the fanservice for fans of the older games in Act 3 (both good and bad) I got the itching to play through BG2 again, including a full playthrough of Throne of Bhaal with Ascension installed this time (I rarely push through ToB after finishing BG2). I never did it before out of fear for the difficulty, but I see that the Tougher Battles module is optional in the rewritten 2.0+ version Ascension.
Naturally this was an opportunity to revamp my BG2 modlist, so the past week has been an exercise in frustration as I’ve been re-exploring the wonders of WeiDU and trying to figure out the correct install order of everything, which can be extremely finicky. Hopefully I’ll get to start playing this week.
