BaronVonBort, do games w Idris Elba: Actors in video games like Phantom Liberty is 'sign of the times'

all of his work for the game would have been finished months ago by now

holiday, do games w Idris Elba: Actors in video games like Phantom Liberty is 'sign of the times'

Started a fresh playthrough on the 21st and man the time they put in shows. Really wish companies like CDPR would go the Larian route of funding big projects like this instead of going public. Shareholders ruined CP2077 launch. It should have been delayed a year or two from its original launch. Instead it was rushed and then after launch they had to fix the rushed product before making/finishing the game they wanted to make. If CP2077 released as it is now or even slightly less polished, it would be considered a top 5 game of all time.

Lessons are there to be learned by other studios. Hopefully they are paying attention. Gamers will wait for a great game.

All that being said, I’m excited to hand over $30 now that I’ve seen the game perform. Stoked to see Elba.

brightpants,

I mean, it would be nice of course, but lets not forget Larian almost went bankrupt in the process. I mean this as in Larian is the exception. And they made a gigantic gamble which could’ve been their ruin had it not turned out so good.

Mandy,

I like how people still try to blame investors to this day

Despite numerous accounts and evidence clearly saying cdpr fucking lied to them too

Dont give them even a single microinch

Defaced,

You know what’s really funny? CDPR only had one big AAA game release without any major problems, the Witcher 3. Thronebreaker was a small scale game based on something already made and I don’t feel that one counts.

The Witcher 1 and the Witcher 2 were bad enough at launch that they had to release an “enhanced edition” of both games to fix the problems. If you don’t believe me, then just look at the piss poor Linux “port” of the Witcher 2.

The only reason the Witcher 3 wasn’t in such a bad state was because it was delayed like 4 or 5 times and released a year and a half later then it was intended. Cyberpunk 2077 has followed the same development path as the Witcher 1 and 2, but for some stupid reason people thought CDPR was immune to bad releases.

Mandy,

WAIT WHAT??? have you been around during launch? does everyone keep forgetting how shit actually was? like i said in a previous comment, it astounds me how people still think they should give these hacks even a microinch. witcher 3 launched in an AWFUL state literally, and i do mean LITERALLY as bad as c2077, it ran like absolute ass, ai was funny as best it took them months to fix the awful state the game run as, the ui also had a serious overhaul, just to name a few youd be lucky to reach a maximum of 60fps on a highend machine of the time. oh and

it was delayed like 4 or 5 times and released a year and a half later then it was intended.

it was delayed once, not 4 to 5 times

this rotating door of a company never had a single release that didnt launch like ass

Defaced,

Were you around during the Witcher 1 and 2 launches? Compared to them them Witcher 3 was a godsend. The Witcher 1 had terrible performance, bad loading times, just bad in general, the Witcher 2 had horrible performance, bad AI pathing, broken quests etc. Both had to have big overhauls.

The Witcher 3 was delayed at least twice, was originally to launch in 2014, then pushed back to February 2015, then again to may 19th 2015, 4 or 5 times is incorrect .The next-gen patches were then delayed a couple times as well. The Witcher 3 was a decent launch outside the garbage nvidia hairworks nonsense.

Mandy,

sooo like i said, all their games at launch are a dumpsterfire of varying itnensity

Defaced,

Yes, I’m agreeing with you. I don’t understand why you’re being argumentative about this subject.

NewNewAccount,

Just because they were lied to doesn’t mean investors don’t have demands.

Mandy,

their demands was based on what they where told by cdpr, and they said to the investors everything was going swimmingly just look it up, you have the information at your fingertips

GeneralEmergency, do games w Idris Elba: Actors in video games like Phantom Liberty is 'sign of the times'

Yeah game companies are using an actor’s credibility to shill their rushed trash. See Cyberpunk

Mandy, do games w Idris Elba: Actors in video games like Phantom Liberty is 'sign of the times'

Stop trying to be movies already for fucks sake, you where supposed to be better, hell the multitudes if days one can interact should make them so but nooooo All we got is this shit from the big guys

bioemerl,

Agreed. Fuck these famous actors and keep these incestuous little shits out of games.

I thought we already got there in 1998, with Final Fantasy VII. Is it a game? Is it a movie? Who can tell?

I’m fine with that. I like interesting stories in my vidja games. Also, my wife will hang out with me more if the stories are compelling.

Imagine acting like that over a $500 3 year old console? If $500 means THAT much to you, how are you going to afford the games to play?

Crazy.

arefx,

I think it’s a good commentary on the current economic situation in the USA, because I’m going to spend 500$ over fighting thru a mob of 2,000 for a free one any day, but clearly many people just don’t have that 500$ lying around.

Also, if you are one of the people with the money to buy one, just build a PC instead ;)

bionicjoey,

Black Friday mobs are a thing every year. A huge chunk of the US is living below the poverty line and is willing to supplement their economic situation with insane fanaticism

arefx,

True but a certain percentage of them are people with money who enjoy the madness. Not trying to take away from your point though as you are 100% correct…

Anticorp,

Black Friday isn’t about savings. Half the time the discounts aren’t even real. The people who go mad on black Friday go mad any time they’re given an excuse.

SomethingBurger,

how are you going to afford the games to play?

Good thing the PS5 doesn’t have games /s

Mandy, do gaming w Twitch streamer Kai Cenat's hyped PS5 giveaway sparks mayhem in Manhattan

It will honestly never amaze me these online “personalities” can even get this many poeple into one place

Anticorp,

It amazes me that there are this many people who even care about influencers to begin with.

Celebrity cults really need to die out…

People going crazy over what person X did have for breakfast is annoying and useless as it is but with influencers that shit reached a new level.

Also if people are occupied with that they have less capacities for more important things…

dingleberry,

And of course he won’t be kicked off Twitch.

coldv, do gaming w Twitch streamer Kai Cenat's hyped PS5 giveaway sparks mayhem in Manhattan

That’s insane. What even was his plan to decide who get those PS5s? I guess if he had any plan at all or any foresight, this wouldn’t happen at all… or maybe that’s his intention. Hope he gets convicted.

crowd of roughly 2,000 converged at Union Square Park

New York Police Department declared a “level four” mobilisation, meaning roughly 1,000 officers were deployed to the scene.

Damn, I guess New York needed to show where the taxes money went
