Yeah…after I posted a few days ago about being burned out…here I am back to playing multiple hours every single day lmao. It's really a good fking game.

Lol at judy calling you out for checking out her ass in the diving suit. Ive put in about 60hrs into this game and am just starting takemuras questline.

What builds are you guys going with? Ive been going with a mantis blade athletics/blades main perks with annhilation/handguns as my secondary perks. With all the passive bonuses i can just run into any situation and hack up everyone in seconds. So much fun. Or if im up for it ill take out skippy and just headshot everything automatically.

Just got Satori samurai sword after realizing I didn't pick it up on the heist mission. The sword animation is so sick when you cut their head off hnnng

on a date with Judy now

the judy mission was pretty much the music video to pyramid song lol



but can confirm. she is top tier waifu. seeing her in them shorts and bra was hnngghHH

i wish we knew more about her backstory. later on there's a quest that says there was a massacre where she used to live, but i don't remember much

Taken from a thread where supposed CDPR developer was speaking anonymously:

This is still very hush hush, but I'm fed up with this s*** so I'll disclose a few details.

CDPR hurt themselves to keep investors safe and sound. Now devs are hearing plans of a "No Man's Sky" style comeback due to late June. The first two patches should come out mid-March, despite what's been said by top execs. There will be major departures from the studio in the coming months. Dev morale is on an all time down and Sony is roasting our asses due to the gigantic volume of refund requests. There will be a meeting today with Sony execs to figure out a way to compensate players threatening with legal action. Sony Japan is specially furious.

More to come in the next couple weeks. Feels terrible, man.

There's no finger pointing as of now. Word on memos comes from the top. The directors and senior devs are taking the flak for the team in what I'd call "an honourable move". Just so you know, we still joke about a quest that got rewritten more than a dozen times, because a certain top dog wasn't "feeling it". It ended up being cut from the final product and should come on a later DLC next year.

There's people that get hired for whatever reason and stay in the company due to being "trusted by the top dogs". A good chunk of code is getting scrapped and rewritten from scratch. The intended game might be ready by June 2021.

That's already done and ready since February. It didn't get implemented because of a major UI bug that is still present in the retail copies. If you open your .dat files you'll find a lot of scrapped content still in there.
If you want a refund, please ask for it. It positively impacts us as devs, because we've warned the leads a MILLION times about that kind of s***. Most cosmetic overhauls should be ready by the 2nd big update, hopefully.

The update that is due to June will sort out all of the bugs. The code for the PS4/Xbox One is getting scrapped and done separately. PS5's code is an improvement on the PC due to the awesome dev kit Sony put together for this gen.

You'd be amazed by how much is already done. That "cut content so people finish the main quest" talk was all bulls***. Most apartments with "Closed (locked)" indications used to be lootable, we've scrapped 50,000+ lines of dialogue and I believe the June update will bring a whole lot of cut content back into the game.

Address the cut content as well. If they see that you guys are asking for s*** to be put back into the game, we might actually make the game we intended back in 2018. There used to be a huge underground part of the city that the public never got to see because it "looked ugly" to the execs. It was f***ing awesome and felt like the malkavian/nosferatu path on Vampire the Masquerade.

I don't want to hate on Keanu, but f***ing hell, our original Johnny was way cooler and sounded like a maniac. Think Foltest on crack. I don't appreciate his acting either, but he's a very nice man. Walked up to us personally to greet us on the first day and took time to personally thank us one by one when they wrapped up recording.

The word is his fee was actually manageable and the need for a Star Talent came from outside CDPR. The execs complied, because who the f*** knows? It sucks.

Our original Johnny was heavily inspired by David Hayter's Solid Snake from the first MGS and believe it or not, Cillian Murphy

There was a whole AI routine with minor gang violence in those areas. Stuff you could sit back and watch unfold or directly influence. There was also a lot of drug use with kids that eventually got cut due to inside censorship. There were priests and hare krishna side arcs that got cut due to censorship. Miles wrote a sidequest where a Max Tac officer offed himself and you could take its place but it created such a complex detour from everything tonally that it got cut as well. I hope it comes back, because it felt amazing to get into their headquarters and hack s***. You'd see the police trying to operate and breaking down mid-arrest due to your shenanigans.

Might sound weird, but the disaster launch was actually something beneficial, from our perspective. A cold shower sets priorities straight and so we're able to resume work on what was originally intended without having those f***ers breathing down our necks to publish.

I believe it was due to miscommunication and leads not setting goals like they should. The game was jumbled together for 2019's E3. The last dev comp before the scrap was 160Gb alone. There should be some whistleblowing in the coming weeks if the step downs

Series X was a mere rewrite of code and load orders. Next-gen's architecture is actually very good for ports. It's company policy to release when a game runs without debug hitches and the reason why it did baffles me and is the reason why I started this thread. It's a mix of hubris and deep incompetence from some big names around here. I'm going home for the holidays and really thinking about my friends who will be in the office for the next couple months redoing scrapped work without being able to say "I f***ING TOLD YOU!!! This is your fault, Boss". Next E3 will be bizarre for CDPR, I bet.

We've scrapped two whole arcs because the mission cleaned a save due to a bug with character placement. We've also scrapped a big portion of the underground and sewers because of bugs. Night City had three different types of cab besides Villefort and drivers would hold whole conversations and give quests. That also had to be scrapped.

Police pathfinding script worked wonderfully until somebody screwed the pooch. All I know it is already being fixed. It was a major oversight, of course.

Morgan Blackhand's backstory and a nod to the Coporate Wars. The DLC's will add a lot to the crazy and cool ideas Mike gave us when we began briefing the project. You guys should have the complete game by the end of next year, if everything goes well. I really gotta go now. Take care.

Alleged CDPR dev talks about the state of Cyberpunk 2077 and future plans

Take it with a huge grain of salt for now

So, if even true, basically tons of features/story/etc got cut due to not having enough time to work out bugs, etc since investors wanted the game out asap.
The same investors now wanting to sue them since they didn't let them release the game the way they intended it to be. Lmfao

Edit: Sounds like we could be in for a year of LOTS of DLC's. If what that guy says is true, they don't even have to work on new stuff, rather giving us back all the things they were forced to scrap.

Didn't you see where they said they kept rejecting their ideas and stuff like that? They are delusional.

When they said the scrapped some whole "underground" area because it was ugly. or cut all this stuff, or have a different johnny.

If you go by the garbage that IS in the game, I can only assume the stuff that was cut is even worse.

The fact they think it was actually good, makes them seem delusional, like they don't have it in them to create something inspired and relevant and interesting.

They think just cuz they made something, its the same as it being good, its not.

Im sure if they actually came up with a bunch of truly "awesome" concepts, they wouldn't have been scrapped.

I think the post went over your head…cuz that isn't what I got from it at all lmao.

The devs don't think a lot of it's good. He's literally saying that. Get a fking grip. The stuff they cut out was to please people who don't have a clue and/or expedite the process to hurry the game to market.

My favorite shot of one of my favorite moments in the game



Its beautiful the amount of detail in some of the characters.

the judy mission was pretty much the music video to pyramid song lol



but can confirm. she is top tier waifu. seeing her in them shorts and bra was hnngghHH

i wish we knew more about her backstory. later on there's a quest that says there was a massacre where she used to live, but i don't remember much

When do you think issues like with car travel, AI, wizard cops, graphical glitches etc will be ironed out? I've been holding back big time. Are these issues too inherit or are they fixable? Basically I just want to play it like how it was advertised but I'll probably wait longer.

Did anybody find a faster way to make money than the buying/selling painting method?

Spent like 600k in cars and I really don’t wanna waste much more time to get another 800k+ on legendary cyber mods/weapons
