Current Events > Do you really believe Cyberpunk 2077 will be THAT good?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Where does the hype come from?

---

Unsure, I certainly hope so. The hype obviously comes from The Witcher 3

---

No, but E3 killed the interest I had for it.

---

Hopefully the delay includes adding 3rd person conversations/cutscenes. Not being able to see your custom character 99.99% of the time killed the interest in buying day one.

When have gamers ever been right?

---

Yes, 100%

---

Absolutely. CDPR has never let me down.

---

Its going to be the best game of this generation, pretty easily imo.

I mean the Witcher 3 was already one of the only games that truly felt next gen, and theyve had another 7 years to make this game

That 25 min demo that came out last year.

I'm just gonna leave this here:

yes

its like people forgot about witcher 3
---

Bump!

---

It'd better be a 10.

If it's anything less, I'm flying to Poland and beating their ass.

Y'all gonna get no mans sky'd

LOL there's no way it'll go like that. That was a special kind of fuck up. CDPR has been consistently good so far, so I highly doubt it'll be that bad even if it's not the best game.
---

I think it will live up to the hype. My excitement for it did die down a bit, but recently picked back up. I think I just want to really get into another WRPG again after Fallout 4 left me with a bad taste in my mouth regarding the whole genre.

---

My hype died when it was announced as a FPS.

It slowly built back up a bit as more info was out, but I will be getting it on sale.

---

The Witcher 3 is one of the greatest games of all time so there's that

cyberpunk is going to be the biggest flop in modern gaming and I cannot WAIT for all the salty tears to flow

I'm sure it will be a quality game, but the setting isn't really my thing.

---

I think it will be but I think some people might be a bit overhyped. Even Witcher 3 was downgraded when it launched. They haven't really had to handle this level of expectation before.

People say this but other than Witcher 3, what else have they made? Not critcising, I legitimately don't know lol.

Witcher 1, 2 and Thronebreaker

Witcher 1 had no real hype. I didn't play it until the Enhanced Edition.

Witcher 2 was a solid follow up. It did have some issues at launch though. The intro level was oddly difficult. But again it was fixed with an Enhanced Edition and eventually ported to 360.

Witcher 3 was when they really hit mainstream success since it launched on consoles at the same time.

Barely anyone played Thronebreaker and it was a massive flop. Apparently a good game though.

Oh they were also responsible for the terrible Saints Row 2 PC port but barely anyone knows that.

I suppose some people consider them to be the same company a GOG but that's more like they are owned by the same company I believe.

---

I never even heard of THronebreaker tbqh

It will be fun. I'll enjoy it. I doubt it will live up to the decade wait for whatever it's been.

This has been a consistent thing for me with games with longer development times though.

---

Probably not. But it's fine since I'll be too busy in Midgar anyway.
---

Honestly I find myself wishing they hadn't used Keanu Reeves because the game isn't even out yet and forum nerds have hyped him up so much already that I'm already kind of tired of his face

---

How good is that good?

---

witcher 3 was the best wrpg of the decade. i have no reason to think theyve slipped up a whole lot

---

Hard to say, Outer Worlds & Borderlands 3 had a lot of hype and both turned out to be rather mediocre.

---

Witcher 3 was amazing but I don't know. Gameplay has never been their strong point, and having clunky fps style gameplay can be a real killer. People are used to very smooth fps shooter gameplay. If it's Deus ex hr/ mankind divided level I think that will be more than enough but we will see.

Witcher 3 was the first game they made that had decent gameplay for it's time of release, and most people still agree that it was one of the weaker parts of the game. I personally liked the gameplay myself, but while everything else was A+ quality, the gameplay was maybe a B at best.

Yeah that's the biggest risk I think. They've never had to figure out stealth before either.

Actually wait Witcher 2 had some stuff but that was pretty linear.

---

I believe in cdpr. I was very satisfied with witcher 3. Then the heart of stone and blood and wine expansions were even better.


---

haven't been following, but I have huge doubts

Is it gonna have PvP? Otherwise I dont care.

As soon as they released the trailer, I knew it was a lost cause. Tone's all wrong.

Are you one of those people that complained about there being daylight?

---

No idea. I was impressed enough by The Witcher 3 that I am cautiously optimistic.

No, but now that you mention it, there was too much daylight.

Eventually it will but not until the single player expansions are done.

---

Should be interesting!

I think that itll be a fine game, but itll fall into the same trap so many other open world games fall into.

They market all these cool little features and say your actions have consequences and all that, but it just ends up being really minuscule changes that happen once in a great while. Side quests quickly become repetitive in nature and just become a means to get more loot or xp rather than being thrilling. Collectibles that typically provide little to no value. That sort of thing.

Considering The Witcher 3 had meaningful decisions and pretty much every side quest was well written and interesting I'm not sure why you think this

Never played Witcher, Im just basing my experience off most other open world games that Ive experienced in the past decade. If they have been successfully able to avoid a lot of that stuff, good on them.

Not really, I am a Shadowrunner fan and like that way more than Cyberpunk. Which I don't understand why everybody is hype that it's cyberpunk since I bet none has play/own the original handbook.

In Witcher 1, there area some choices you have to make where you'll only see the effects in a later act. By then it's already too late to reload to an earlier save unless you want to lose lots of progress.

In Witcher 3, the outcome of your choices are pretty much contained within the same mission.

I'm hoping to see more of Witcher 1's choice & effect in Cyberpunk 2077.

Maybe what little of the game that's been shown just impressed them enough. Don't need to be a fan of the pen-and-paper game to get that conclusion. In fact, it's making more people want to get into the original game.
