Cyberpunk 2077: 10 Ways The Game Has Changed Since Launch

While many bugs have been squashed since that fateful launch, Cyberpunk 2077 is still rife with them. Many have been longtime staples of YouTube roast videos, such as streetlights without any poles, hilariously bad physics bugs, texture glitches, and more. It seems those most obvious ones are still being overloo


'Anti-consumer' is a phrase used a lot in gaming, and not always accurately. It's not anti-consumer that Nintendo doesn't support Smash Melee tournaments, for example, and while locking story content behind DLC is awfully money grubbing, I'm not sure it's technically 'anti-consumer'. Cyberpunk 2077 Missions 2077 on PS4 undoubtedly is, however. It's a PS4 game being sold on PS4 while the PS4 makers tell you not to play it on the PS4. I know we're all bored of talking about Cyberpunk 2077 by now, but this seems to be sneaking under the radar. It's disgraceful that our industry allows it, and it's a worrying sign of the growing divide between the players and the suits out to make a quick b


This is where that outrage comes back into play. I don’t want it to be expressed with death threats to developers , or in the whiny caricature of gamers we see snapping video game discs while frothing at the mouth to stick it to the man. There has also been a huge anti-journalist culture that the Cyberpunk fanbase has leaned into - for obvious reasons, I think we should avoid that too. I don’t want to encourage people to get more angry about this game that in truth has never come close to delivering on its potential even months later, but we should not stand for Sony selling us a game on PS4 while telling us not to play it on a PS4. It’s ludicr


Kojima makes an appearance in a game just as surreal as some of his own, Control . His likeness is not present, but Kojima voices the Japanese lines for Dr. Yoshimi Tokui, a researcher in the Bureau of Control's Oldest House. Kojima's Dr. Tokui narrates the player through a " guided imagery experience " with the help of a translator who, according to Polygon , is voiced by Kojima Productions' head of marketing, Aki Saito. The worthwhile and odd Control side quest gives players a lesson in love and environmentalism, all with a dash of grim humor about pige


CD Projekt Red was able to do something that many developers wish to achieve: make a card game within their game that's fun enough for people to invest hundreds of hours into. From the Witcher games, Gwent was born and is one of the biggest deck-building virtual card games out there. Today, March 8, Gwent received its 8.3 update . Here's the full list of Gwent patch no


Kojima lends his likeness to a cameo in Cyberpunk 2077 , where he can be found relatively early in the game, sitting in the back of a bar in Konpeki Plaza. Though he looks like, and is voiced by, Kojima, this man is actually named Oshima, a canonical citizen of Night City. Oshima is more or less a cyberpunk parody of Kojima himself. As a director of braindances, a kind of virtual reality entertainment in Cyberpunk that record and then immerse the viewer in real events, Oshima wishes to take braindances to their limit and explore the furthest reaches of emotion that can be experien


Ursine ritual provision was a bit of an anomaly players ended up catching up to, making the it in overwhelming majority "The" Skellige leader ability, despite others also showing good results. If it's only a +1 in a vaccuum, Skellige has the tool to make pinging its own units be at the very least worth 0 points if not more. With this nerf, we hope to see diversity come back to the Skellige leader ability pi

Horizon Zero Dawn begins with Aloy, an outcast of her tribe who exists in a world inhabited by both robots and humans. After her tribe is slain by cultists, she goes on an adventure and begins to piece together the truth of her birth and what happened to the world around her.


Outrage is pretty common in gaming, and it feels wrong to be encouraging it, especially around a game as toxic as Cyberpunk 2077. For the record, I don’t care for the game. While it would have been fascinating to see how the game itself and the discourse around it would have been different if it came out bug free, it still would have had its issues. Bugs or no, Cyberpunk 2077 is a game with a very binary perspective on gender that trades on a mostly superficial view of trans people , a horribly misogynistic view of women and sex workers , fridges one of its strongest female characters, and contained a (now patched out) racist m


When Cyberpunk 2077 does work, it works very well, and it's a fun experience. There's a lot to be done in order to make it feel like the true, definitive version of the hyped E3 title that whipped fans into such a frenzy, but balancing out the gameplay elements is a nice st


Though Kojima can only be found once in Cyberpunk 2077 , there is another nod to him later in the game. During a side mission, protagonist V will infiltrate a Night City Police Department lab. In one of the rooms, a Death Stranding Bridge Baby pod can be fo
