The update got the frames high enough where you can play the game in native ultra settings raytracing, over 20fps, so its playable, and the shyt looks magnificent

Another classic XBOX exclusive :blessed:
Just because PonkStation didn't have the raw power to handle Cyberpunk doesn't mean it failed :hubie:

This is unprecedented :ohhh:


The hype around Cyberpunk 2077 had been building for nearly a decade.

When CD Projekt Red, the Polish studio behind the video game, announced the title in 2012, it was billed as a gripping, free-flowing saga that would immerse players in a lifelike sci-fi universe. Since then, fans have been treated to impressive teaser trailers, buy-in from celebrities including Keanu Reeves, Grimes and ASAP Rocky, and headlines heralding it as the most anticipated title of the year, if not the century.

The game is set in a dystopian future where digital nomads navigate a high-stakes world of corporate espionage (with Mr. Reeves as their guide) and augment their bodies with high-tech weaponry. Players, especially those using next-generation consoles from Sony and Microsoft, were promised a revolutionary experience, with extensive character customization options and an expansive world to explore. Eight million people pre-ordered copies, sight unseen, ahead of its December release.

In July 2018, as anticipation for the game neared a crescendo across Twitter, one user tweeted at the official Cyberpunk 2077 account: “Will there be memes in the game?” The account responded: “Whole game is going to be a meme.”

The tweet was somewhat prescient — but not in the way developers had hoped.

Since the release of Cyberpunk 2077 on Dec. 10, thousands of gamers have created viral videos featuring a multitude of glitches and bugs — many hilarious — that mar the game. They include tiny trees covering the floors of buildings, tanks falling from the sky and characters standing up, inexplicably pantless, while riding motorcycles.

Good. Game was going extra hard pushing that tranny/gay shyt. Glad it failed.

the company took an L for how it was launched and the lies and now they lost their high horse status. But I'm hearing the game actually alright. some things gameplay wise that was promised don't seem to be there according to some. But people are enjoying it for the most part. will probably end up pulling a LOU2 to save grace at the awards.

I don't think the game itself has failed tho. If the patches after Jan and Feb don't work, then yes it's a completely failure in my eyes.
