CD Projekt recommends starting a new game when Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.0 drops: 'starting fresh will enhance your overall gameplay experience' angielski

flux, rok temu

“Hey gonks! Remember that game we released and was dirty as hell but you all gave up the eddies because we told you it was preem. We finally have the game we should have released just 3 years later. Go ahead and flatline your 200hr characters and reboot.”

AttackPanda, rok temu

I wish I had the fortitude to start over at 140 hours deep into my character but damn I’m not sure I do.

VentraSqwal, rok temu

Same. But I have wanted to explore other characters. My current one I made a baseball bat wielding, hard punching, aggressive nomad punk with a heart of gold, with some sniper secondary skills. Basically what I imagined a nomad would be like, with the skills I thought they’d have.

I kind of want to see what it’s like as full stealth or a corpo hacker or a street samurai katana wielder or knife thrower.

JJROKCZ, rok temu

If you got 200hours out of release then clear you got your moneys worth out of the game and enjoyed it, promises not kept or not.

Personally the game could’ve been better but I certainly enjoyed the one 120ish hour playthrough I did and had no major issues other than some texture bugs or weird physics, I had a capable PC though not a last gen console trying to play at being modern.

anonono, rok temu

by that definition you get your money’s worth of every movie you watch in the theater, the longer the better.

it’s a shitty take.

don’t pretend they didn’t screw up.

muse, rok temu (edited rok temu)

And don't circlejerk over the dead horse that this game is unsalvageable because it had a shitty release. People forgave No Man's Sky, but the internet won't let this one go.

anonono, rok temu

You got it completely wrong.

Shitty games with shitty releases go into oblivion, the game is obviously good.

I’m not criticizing the game, I’m criticizing the company and the billionaries that preside it and decided people swallow it all up if they launched a game in the state they did.

orbitz, rok temu

I agree but I think it took about this long from Cyberpunk released till there was a better outlook on No Man’s Sky and I bought both at release, I enjoyed both, but I’d say at release Cyberpunk was a better game at launch (I didn’t have any bugs I got lucky). NMS did much more work on content in the following years to where it’s barely the same experience. Has been awhile since I restarted Cyberpunk will do for 2.0 though. Maybe I haven’t caught much newer content and they added it but it seemed updates were tweaks / fixes than content.

RaivoKulli, rok temu

People shouldn’t have forgiven NMS for their blatant and shitty lies either

MiltownClowns, rok temu

The analogy your looking for is that you get your money’s worth out of every movie you see 3 times in the theater but only pay once.

it’s a shitty take.

don’t pretend you didn’t screw up

if there was a movie that was 200 hours long and you chose to stay for the entire duration and not walk out, then you either enjoyed the movie or you need to learn about the sunk-cost fallacy

Oh I’m sure someone’ll mod it back in

gothicdecadence, rok temu

I did a heavily modded 90hr playthrough and loved it. Dealt with a ton of crashes though 😅 I’m planning on playing this vanilla finally, or very lightly modded for UI and stuff.

JJROKCZ, rok temu

Yea I played vanilla release over 100 hours, then some ui/qol mods. Looking forward to a vanilla 2.0 and dlc run then maybe see what some of these overhaul mods are doing a few months after that once they’ve been patched up

RaivoKulli, rok temu

I played it on PS4. CDPR said it plays surprisingly well on it.

Lmao

TigrisMorte, rok temu

PC launch play was mostly fine. Only Console launch, mostly caused by massive delusion about min. spec.s, was f'd up completely. The PC issues were also the easiest to fix and even when they could fix the Console issues, they had to convince the Console store's Owners that the relaunch wouldn't be a shit show. But then I play on PC and so expect similar to last time, once I buy it after it launches.

WeLoveCastingSpellz, rok temu

Petty AF. Massive update that overhaults the game and dlc its common practice to restart at updates like this

flux, rok temu

I’m actually a fan of the game. I’m excited to play it. I just find it funny they are saying they have made it so much better that they recommend starting over. My point is that they are saying they finally got a lot of things “right” in 2.0 that we were playing an inferior game with quite a few quaility issues. Probably due to deadlines, etc. I’m happy devs continue to improve based on sales and feedback to make it better.

Chev, rok temu

You make it sound like they are forcing you to do so. You have the freedom of choice.

flux, rok temu

Of course. I’m happy they are allowing you to continue. I’ll keep going as I like the game.

Rampsquatch, rok temu

If you sunk 200 hours into the game, was it really that awful?

flux, rok temu

No it’s a good game. I like it even with the qc issues because it’s ambitious. But the devs are basically admitting that they worked on it for 3 years to fullfill the original vision and it’s so much better that it’s worth starting over.

Torque2101, rok temu

I'll take "things that should be obvious if you're not a gonk" for 100, Alex.

I don’t have the free time anymore to start over if I want to play the DLC this year.

Retreaux, rok temu

Seriously the assumption of free time that corpos have for their consumer base is WILD, but it just feeds into the ‘must have 100% market share’ mentality that drives the culture as we lose every shred of our living moments on anything but living

TigrisMorte, rok temu

As they've rearranged and completely changed lots of the controls and menus, I'll need to start a new campaign just to learn to play it.

Buffalobuffalo, rok temu

On steam will the update automatically install? I am finally like 90% done with the main sorry line and I would rather finish it as is before starting over to do all the side quests.

LanternEverywhere, rok temu

I don't know jack about squat, but maybe there's a way to turn off automatic updates.

Lileath, rok temu

Afaik it is impossible to not update the game automatically if you have internet. But it could be that it will be possible to downgrade the game to an earlier version although that depends on the dev making this function available.

Iusedtobeanadventurer, rok temu

GOG allows you to play rolled back versions of a game, through the launcher. I don’t believe steam has that capability.

Lileath, rok temu

On Steam rollbacks are possible with the ‘betas’ feature, but few developers use them. Total War: Warhammer 3 allows rollbacks after bigger updates because those typically break older saves. The option to roll back is hidden in the properties option.

theneverfox, rok temu

It does, you just have to go into the game properties menu and there’s a version option

Lenny, rok temu (edited rok temu)

Seems like you’d have to jump through hoops to avoid updating and continuing to play it while connected to Steam normally. #1 you should go into the Properties of the game and set it to not automatically update. But that won’t fix your issue, as it will trigger the update when you attempt to launch it. Also set it to not allow updates while playing the game, just in case.

Some games you can go into the steam directory and launch the .exe yourself, and that might work. There’s also Steam Offline Mode, but you may want to set it up today before the update drops and test how it works (I’ve never used it). Maybe you’ll have luck disconnecting from the internet before launching the game after the update is available. If you’re not able to completely disconnect your machine for whatever reason, you can get a program like NetLimiter and block the steam applications from accessing the internet temporarily.

Chailles, rok temu (edited rok temu)

If you find the appmanifest file for the game (it’s in the steamapps folder where your games are installed) and set it to read-only, Steam can’t update the game. I think it’s based on the appid so the file should be called appmanifest_1091500.acf. You can open it up like a textfile where it’ll have the name of the game inside if you wanted to make sure.

goodhunter, rok temu

I have waited till the release to play it. It’s still in its wrap. Is now the definitive moment finally? Do I get the DLC right now, or is that for later?

I got it for ps4, but rocking a ps5 now. That should be upgradedable if I’m not mistaken

You should be able to download a free PS5 version when you load it up

Iusedtobeanadventurer, rok temu

From what I understand you want to play the DLC after you finished the main game

dudewitbow, rok temu

Doesnt the dlc unlock a new alternative ending?

Iusedtobeanadventurer, rok temu

Maybe so! I had not heard that. So perhaps the best route is to play through a second time, with the update 2.0 patch and dlc, and play the dlc storyline after the main story has concluded.

EtzBetz, rok temu

I’ve heard this as well from a German game magazine reporting

gaylord_fartmaster, rok temu (edited rok temu)

So you bought the game on release and never played it because it turned out to be a broken unfinished mess, and now, without having played it again, you’re asking if you should dump even more money into it?

Come on dude.

goodhunter, rok temu

If it’s good, then yes.

Gold_E_Lox, rok temu

is this the average consumer?

goodhunter, rok temu

The downvotes, the jokes, I find it immature. Seems like lemmy turned out to be to have become toxic with the Reddit refugees.

Look, I’m looking forward on playing the game ever since release. I still respect cd project for what they have done with Witcher 3. I simply waited to play the game as my time is sparse nowadays and I have to chose consciously how I spent it. If the game gives me dozens of hours of a great time, I see no problem in spending the cash.

I’m looking forward to playing it again. After BG3. And in between Tarkov. After Starfield. I guess by that point Elden Ring DLC might be out. Also need to play RE4 remaster. . Also didn’t a Harry Potter game come out recently? Also Atomic Heart had a DLC. Still need to try Hell Let Loose…

Maybe one day.

You forgot about armoured core 6. Which, you just must play, especially with that backlog.

I suck at souls games but I like robots. Should I still give it a try?

Breezy, rok temu

Yes, its not a souls game anyways, just a hard mech game. Which is kinda the staple for mech games.

Also though you can suck at soul like games but still enjoy them. Honestly the first step into getting good is figuring out which type of cheese you prefer. Ive always been partial to big sticks turning enemies into pancakes. It works on most games that are similar. Havent found a weapon to do so in lie of p yet, but thats a good thing for me since it changed my play style.

Harry Potter and Starfield ain’t worth your time mate

vlad76, rok temu

Harry Potter probably not. But I’ll try Starfield.

samus12345, rok temu

If you’re a fan, I’d say the beginning when you’re in Hogwarts and Hogsmeade is worth playing. But as soon as the plot takes you south, just stop playing.

Starfield is…a Bethesda game, no doubt about that. You’ll probably like it okay if you like their games, just don’t expect to be impressed or anything like that.

vlad76, rok temu

Bethesda games are a skeleton for mods for me, so I’ll pick it up after the modding scene matures.

If someone has the time and resources, they could make a really good game out of it.

ENERGISE

(tbf It never really bothered me, cyberpunk is one of my favourite games ever. The story, the voice acting the goofy and scary side missions. For me the jesus pose and the teleporting cops where forgivable.)

Why9, rok temu

I’ve tried to keep my spoilers to a minimum, but from what I’ve read, MAXTAC has their own siren. At 5* wanted level, when you hear their siren, a little bit of poo will come out.

Police are apparently relentless too - at all wanted levels. Oh, and straying into a gang’s territory with police on your tail can lead to interesting results lol.

I seriously can’t wait! I love netrunning, now I can be the netrunning demon everyone fears!

mriormro, rok temu

The game has been out for three years. What is there to spoil?

Why9, rok temu

I’m referring to the spoilers for the changes incoming in update 2.0.

Not everyone likes to read what’s changed and want to experience it first hand. MAXTAC was not in the base game and is a huge part of the consequences of your actions on the street.

spankinspinach, rok temu

I’m so excited to play this on PS5. Survived a 50 hours playthrough on PS4, liked the story enough but almost purely ground my way through due to shitty performance. This time I wanna just enjoy it as it was meant to be played :)

Chev, rok temu (edited rok temu)

In best case, I will play the game after the first patch after 2.0 + PL. Good that I’m still in my first playthrough in Baldurs Gate 3. So if the patch comes around the weekend of the 6th of October, I should be fine.

derin, rok temu

Nah - I think I’ll enjoy it on my old character, if that’s all right with them.

Crazy to think I’d just spend another 100 hours redoing missions and revisiting old content for new progression systems.

I’m happy the game is finally finished, but it’s kind of insulting to tell us to go back and “play it all again, it’s finally ready”.

Rampsquatch, rok temu

I fail to see the insult, it’s not like they’re going to call you names if you don’t do what they recommend.

Cethin, rok temu

I think you’re taking this wrong. They’re saying you can play it all again and the experience will be somewhat different with the new systems. They are saying you’re a loser if you don’t or whatever. Basically, they’re saying the update effects the existing game too, not just the DLC.

nehal3m, rok temu (edited rok temu)

Maybe it’s because they view playing the game differently than you do. Personally I see it as a game you can ‘run’, sort of like a rogue-like. There’s different ways to execute missions, a few different ways to interact and varied builds for a character. I’ve played the game twice now, once as a corpo gun slinger and once as a street kid hacker. For this update I’m doing a nomad ninja.

XbSuper, rok temu

Cool, maybe I’ll actually pick this up next time it’s on sale (and includes the dlc).

Callendor, rok temu

For a new player. How long into the game until the expansion starts?

funkless_eck, rok temu

played the OG version on release. there is a “point of no return” message for the end of the game. If you complete game or save after that point and reopen that save you’re locked into that ending based on what you did prior to crossing the point of no return.

so the playable sections all come before this — so if you missed something after completing you can reload your “Meet [Person] At Embers Bar” save (the point of no return) — go do it with your endgame character and then optionally revisit the final section if you like.

from what I gather on loading up an old save after this patch you’ll have to re spec your character and may have missed minor things, but can start all the new content from your …Embers save.

From a new player perspective you can choose to do the DLC or the vanilla game at any order or at any point- gated by your character level and progression, similar to how Fallout DLC works.
