Heard about the huge patch coming out, reminded me that this game even exists. Figured I’d download it and pick up where I left off and at least finish the main story. 40gb! For a patch!!

      i don't have a data cap but i'm only workin with a small 200gb SSD and 1tb harddrive I keep all medias and non-demanding games on it. I don't even think I can clear 100gb or whatever the full size is now if i wanted to for my SSD. And this game for sure should run on an SSD.

      I'm just glad i virtually had no interest in this game, and didn't buy into the hype. I'm one of the real outliers who didn't really find Witcher 3 all that great, I'm just not big on open world games so this one especially didn't interest me. I know it's stupid, but I hated how many plants and random loot there is in those games. I know I can just ignore most of that random stuff but it always feels like im not playing the game "right" if I don't collect most the loot and make potions and whatever else.

          I will recommend that you don't just try to finish the main story. The main story is a trainwreck with a trash fire sprinkled on top, so it can be entertaining in that sense, but it's not good. However, the late-game sidequests are genuinely great.

          damn, that's a huge bummer :/ it's tough sometimes, especially when it's a genre/setting/dev that you're really excited about. it's hard to avoid letting yourself get hyped for some things. like i just really want the Diablo 2 remaster to go good. It's different dev team than the one who did the warcraft 3 remaster, so I got a little bit more confidence in it. But i grew up on d2 and probably played it more than any other game. So for me, it's pretty much unavoidable to get hyped for that lol

      I don't think that's even in the plans. What's the point? Just make another apology and move on to the next project...

        aw they gotta milk a couple DLCs out of it i'd imagine. not 100% on that though but it seems like the standard, even for broken games is to release DLC lol. Bethesda does it all the fuckin time and they are pretty similar in what type of games they make

    Cant wait for the sequel in 10 years with a lot of self deprecating humor marketing by the company

    I tried to install the patch and it said I needed "304108 MB" of space. That's 300 GB. I have no idea if my patcher is bugged but I guess I'm going to re-download it. I don't know how much it actually needs but I gave it like ~60.

    and yet the game will still be unfinished

        the saddest part is that the game is fundamentally broken and unfinished. there is no amount of fixing and rejiggering and restoring they can do to make the game live up to the idea they had from the outset. its just a failed project.

        and im speaking as someone who liked the game. for all its (numerous, glaring) flaws, theres still some good in there, and i was able to enjoy those parts of it personally. but they still utterly failed to make the game they were trying to make, from several different angles

          100%. They’d have to throw most of it out and start again, the empty open world, the absolutely idiotic quest system, the “map full of icons” presentation, none of those are bugs. It’s like playing an open world game from 2013

          I think if the devs were allowed to rewrite large parts of the engine and so on, it could be the game they envisioned in a few years. I also think there's no way in hell that'll happen. Like you, I had fun though - mostly because I had low expectations anyway.

          I feel for the workers at CDPR, I really do, as an aside; the changelog for that patch is like 10 pages long, they must've been pushed like crazy to deliver it, and yet there's still a ton of bugs everywhere.

          Yeah its telling how the only times I've heard the game being discussed is at launch when people were complaining/joking about bugs but now 5 months after it came out no one is talking about it. No memes, no reddit posts, no forum topics about its story. The problems run much deeper than the bugs.

        the very first thing I wanted to know is if they fixed the cops spawning like 3 feet away from you in thin air. A lot of games spawn in enemies in a similar fashion but the way they had it spawn so close to you, and instantly was laughable. idk how "fixed" it is now but man it was so bad for release from the videos i saw.

        the other thing i highly doubt they will ever fix is like the NPCs cars just doing a endless circle at a round-a-bout, with no other destination. Not even giving the NPCs even a slightly realistic driving pattern is pretty bad for <current year.>

          fixed the cops spawning like 3 feet away from you in thin air

          Reads like they 'fixed' that by increasing it to 6 feet

            People complained about not being chased, so they had the cops spawn in a tank that one shots you when you get 4 stars. It spawns so close it literally never misses.

    Lol. Just lol.

    GTA San Andreas has better cop and traffic AI on a 4.7GB DVD lol. Cyberpunk 2077 is just massively broken. It cannot be fixed, no matter how many patches it gets. Also it's still not available for purchase on the playstation store due to how buggy it is, even after this patch. Amazing.

    This is like the gift that keeps on giving. Sorry to anyone who bought this "game," but every update is funnier and funnier
