With all the neg press this has had I'm surprised Idris Elba put his name to this.

With the way people wildly exaggerate how much negative press this has had, I'm surprised that anyone thinks an actor would have some kind of problem taking the job.

LOl this shit sold 20 million boxes, why would they not make expansions for it and why the hell would Elba not sign on? They are literal whores for cash. As we are all whores to something or other for cash, lol.

The press was pretty brutal, but was a bit overblown for what the actual issues were. The game only sucked on PS4 (the preferred platform of video game journalists) but should've never released on that platform anyway, and it was a major letdown to people who roleplay as wage slaves and hookers in GTA all day. If CDPR had chosen to not engage with those two populations (focus on PC release and market narrative instead of old gen and marketing open world), all the press would've been glowing a la Witcher 3.

I heard this is their only expansion for this game.

If that's the case damn they're really are wringing their hands clean of this game.

Yeah it really seems out of place compared to the dozens of expansions they released for Witcher 3.

Weren't they supposed to release a whole slew of free content as well? Seems like a giant waste of the IP if this expansion and what they've trickled out so far is it when the game and world is actually good enough to continue building upon.

I think Covid and them spending so much time trying to fix the game for last gen systems fucked the long term plans for the game.

They aren't abandoning the Cyberpunk IP, they're just ending support for this particular game. They plan to make a new Cyberpunk game set in the same universe (but won't continue the same main story as CP2077 - aka V's story is done) using the Unreal 5 engine. I wouldn't be surprised if they make more Edgerunner themed stuff in the new game.

It felt like 90% of the complaints were from the PS4 version of the game. If you look at almost any "lol cyberpunk sux" video on Youtube, they are almost all showing footage from the shitty PS4 version.

No surprise they abandoned that version - the new DLC isn't even available for last gen consoles

No one could meet the expectations this game had the years running up to release. And the game did come up short, it was rushed and not finished, bugs, and balance was fucked. But I played through it 2X on PC with a 1070 at the time and it ran great and I enjoyed the stories and im not even a big story guy in games. So fuck yeah I want more and I hope this Cyberpunk thing goes on.

As others have noted, the year ticker in the newest trailer now hits 2079. While I was always on the Shadowrun side of the fence, I don't recall any tabletop 2079 events, and Phantom Liberty certainly looks pre-base ending, so a 2079 setting for the sequel would line up well with a mostly reused world (though again, who knows how easy it will be to port the existing world to UE5).

I'm just hoping they get it out before 2029.

While I accept they took a roasting on last gen consoles the game itself was riddled with bugs. Even setting that aside, whole chunks of the game were left unfinished and the world just felt too sterile. Anyone who played a Cyberpunk RPG or read anything remotely William Gibson couldn't help but be disappointed in the huge lack of customisation available.

Some of the storylines were exceptional and I've played it to completion a number of times over in spite of all of the above but the fact remains they disappointed many people.

So many missed opportunities in this game, like the recorded memories playback. They could have made this game a banger of a detective style mystery game with a ton of hard to find clues inside those memories; instead we get three of them and it holds your hand to find every clue in every layer which makes the mechanic pointless.

Puzzle handholding has been an issue in a lot of recent titles. God of War has NPCs dropping puzzle hints left and right, whether you want them or not.

This is configurable in settings I thought or doesn't it work?
