I'm still on the fence buying this game. Waiting for a sale and will grab it immediately.

AngrilyEatingMuffins,

it's on sale on steam. get it now but wait until the expansion is out next month

I would probably wait and see if they release a “Complete Edition” that comes with the new expansion pack and grab it when that’s on sale. The game is fun, but I personally feel like it’s a “one-and-done” sort of game.

Given CDPRs track record with the deep Witcher series discounts I'd expect a complete 2077 edition for cheap in a few years.

AdventureSpoon,

That would be now

I played it on release for PC. It was good, although it felt incomplete. Bugs weren't as bad for the PC version as they were apparently on console, but they were there. New expansion is coming out soon, so there is probably going to be a sale then. I'd imagine the new expansion will improve (I hope) the things the game got wrong.

I played it on release on PS4. BASE PS4.

It was incredible.

Rabbithole,

That's... actually impressive.

You sure as hell grew up with a solid understanding of patience if the youtube videos that I saw of that are at all accurate.

It was pretty bad. Like, people were flying instead of walking. The same people repeated over and over. Going into any populated areas sounded like an acid trip of echoing voices. The floor usually disappeared. My weapons were invisible. List goes on

I too like to play my games on “Powerpoint” performance settings.

@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

Same. While the bugs and technical issues were annoying, the fact that the underlying game was so lackluster was the worst part.

There's been talk that the upcoming expansion for the game (Phantom Liberty) will kinda overhaul some of the game's systems a bit, and make them closer to what was originally intended or hoped for. If you're still on the fence now, I suggest waiting a few more months, seeing if the DLC makes good on its hype, and grabbing everything then.

These are just my first 2 search results, but basically they all say the same thing:

Rabbithole, (edited )

It's not that bad today to be honest.

It's still not at all the game that they originally sold people pre-release though. If you go into it thinking that you're going to be getting an action looter-shooter with some interesting mechanics and great visuals then you'll get pretty much what you're expecting.

Going into it buying CDPR's line about it being the "next generation of open-world gaming" and "Evolution of RPG's" or whatever crap they were spewing, will leave a sour taste in your mouth.

The main campaign and side-mission storylines are just flat-out great though.

CDPR have always been good at doing the storytelling side of things, and that didn't really change with Cyberpunk.

Total fraud on release though, especially on console. Fuck them for what they did there.

For transparency, I'm referring to how it is currently on PC, where you also get mods if you want them. I couldn't comment on the console experience as I haven't played it.

Definitely wait for a sale though if you do one day go for it, I don't think it's good enough for the full price. Too many things are still lacking, although the upcomming DLC may fix that (which still means paying extra to fix the shit that should have been in the base game since release... Yeah).

For like a half-second I thought you meant Reddit... (I died a little inside. :-P)

Rabbithole,

Lol, no.

Reddit's like the reverse of Cyberpunk. Started great, then turned into a morass of lies later on. :D

Madison_rogue,
@Madison_rogue@kbin.social avatar

I've been playing it over a year now. Once I was able to snag a PS5 and Playstation put it back in the store I picked it up.

MUCH MUCH better playing than launch...r/cyberpunk2077 used up a lot of salt throughout its tenure as a subreddit. Yet most the extreme hate the game drew was due to the insane promises CDPR made prior to launch. I'm personally not buying the DLC coming out in September until after it's released because of the botched launch, however I do expect it's going to run a lot smoother than the game's launch.

BUT as a base game, if you can pick it up on sale now, by all means I recommend getting it.

nicman24,

It is one of the only games of past decade that I completed and started again

Gargleblaster,
@Gargleblaster@kbin.social avatar

It's down to 30 bucks.

I'll bite when it drops under 10.

Reddit been feeling dead since they went to mass ban spree about a month ago.

Conversations that do feel organic are hard to find.

Oh that's sad! You only got to experience reddit for a month before they pulled the API bullshit.

I'm still enjoying a few of the smaller niche subreddits I'm subscribed to. And worldnews' live thread about the Ukraine war is still good. Otherwise I'm not really engaging any more, and once those niche subreddits start winking out over time I'll probably stop. Or they remove old.reddit.

also the case on r/piracy

I can’t see what they did, my browser says it can’t establish connection to the server. Sounds like reddit admins took whatever it was down?

Reddit is going to need a couple more GPT bots to handle that one

ArugulaZ,
@ArugulaZ@kbin.social avatar

Eventually, even the bots will gain enough self-awareness to realize that Steve Huffman is a dick.

samus12345,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

The first time an AI bot writes “fuck u/spez” will be glorious.

Madrigal,

You know, if it’s a hastily assembled bot based on GPT trained using public web data, there’s a good chance it’s already picking up a lot on anti-spez sentiment. There might even be an opportunity for ‘malicious actors’ to accelerate that outcome, should they choose.

Idk if youve ever seen the bagel made of semi solid pasta and sauce that had a bite out of it? I think that was in TIHI once. Im gonna try and find it and link it.

Edit: this is the google image result. U can see is from that subreddit but also posted other places.

Interesting 🤷‍♂️ I’ll check news on this. I won’t use Hetzner if its true.

empireOfLove,

Please do. An unsubstantiated reddit thread does not a story make- but the more people we get to look into it, the more likely someone will corroborate it (or not)

QuazarOmega,

An unsubstantiated reddit thread does not a story make

Awoken I am

geekworking,

If want something that is immune from law enforcement wiretap warrants, you should avoid basically all hosting and internet service providers.

Read the TOS on virtually every service. There’s some language to say that they will comply with legal requests. The company is not going to fight the government for your $5 account.

Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Facebook, etc all have wiretap and legal discovery tools built into their platforms and have a dedicated team to process wiretaps.

iso,
@iso@lemy.lol avatar

Stop the service and inspect the machine for law violations. I’m ok to that. But proxying the network without a notice is literally spying.

Reverse the case, if a Chinese/Russian provider did this, would you still be OK? It’s funny US and west countries blaming easterns for spying while doing far far more.

geekworking,

The entire term wiretap comes from spying on phone conversations upstream without the target’s knowledge. This is no different.

China and Russia are 1000% doing this and more to anything hosted anywhere under their jurisdiction. The CCP brags about the Great Firewall.

I don’t necessarily agree with any of it, but I am pointing out that changing providers to one who wasn’t in the news is not a way to get around government data collection.

ThatOneKirbyMain2568, to RedditMigration in Reddit kills awards and coins
@ThatOneKirbyMain2568@kbin.social avatar

This seems like the dumbest decision imaginable. Users are flocking to alternatives, many of those who haven't don't trust you, and you're trying to become profitable … so you delete the stuff people paid for without any sort of replacement. What a genius ideaǃ Making the platform less unique and giving the middle finger to the people who give you money in one go!

There's no way a human adult is running this company. It has to be a council of toddlers run by a keyboard-smashing orangutan. At this point, they might as well start encouraging bots and karma farming. Maybe even pay people to do it!

Wait, what did you just say? They might actually do that?

The circus never ends.
