Cyberpunk 2077: 10 Ways The Game Has Changed Since Launch

'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 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


Speaking of missions, the plethora of fixes that have come out since the game launched are more than welcome and quite overdue. All manner of mission glitches abounded, to the frustration of countless play


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


Early Cyberpunk builds suffered a plethora of issues in its various missions, and it's eye-watering to go down the list of fixes in each subsequent patch. Much of the time, broken quest lines would affect the game's built-in pathing system, leaving gamers frustrated and confused as to where to go and what to


One major problem with the game, especially on consoles, was stability. It simply wasn't there. The game was infamously yanked from Sony's PlayStation Store for its nearly unplayable release quality, and CD Projekt Red has been busy trying to reverse that decision. That means fewer crashes, better optimization, and fixed questli


Cyberpunk 2077, the biggest cautionary tale in modern gaming, is officially back on the PS Store. It kind of feels like that Spongebob meme - you know, that one and only meme from Spongebob - where some guy finds Patrick’s wallet, only Patrick insists it’s not his. Well, Patrick is CDPR , the driving license is Cyberpunk 2077 , the wallet is a standard PS4, and that blue guy is all of us. Aren’t memes even funnier when someone describes them badly instead of using a meme generator site? What’s that? No?! Well, screw you pal. The point is Cyberpunk 2077 Strategy|https://cyberpunk2077pedia.com/ 2077 is once more available on PS4 , except it’s not rea


Found in the Misc Junk section of a player’s inventory, in patches before Patch 1.3 and the base game, they were able to find Silverhand’s Arm. This was just a visual item, that added a holographic Johnny Silverhand arm to V’s character model when they selected the arm in their inventory. It’s a great look for V, especially if players want to immerse themselves with Johnny slowly, and unwillingly, taking o


There is absolutely no doubt that CD Projekt Red was clearly influenced by many different Keanu Reeves projects. The character’s name is likely based on Johnny Utah from Point Break , and the character looks like if John Wick smoked way too many cigaret


While Cyberpunk 2077 is back on the PS Store, we’re being advised not to buy it on PS4. I don’t mean that someone has done a tech analysis and concluded that it runs a bit worse on PS4 than, say, Xbox - I mean we’re literally being told ‘don’t buy it on PS4,’ by both CD Projekt Red itself and PlayStation. Instead, both recommend using the juicier PS4 Pro, or just straight up using a PS5. It’s worth noting that the game is not out on PS5 - the PS4 version is compatible, but the PS5 version of the game, along with the Xbox Series X/S versions, is still in the works on top of the game’s still ongoing bug fixes and DLC. Thanks to the problems at launch, we still don’t know when any of this stuff is going to arr


Hideo Kojima makes perhaps his strangest appearance in his most recent work, Death Stranding . The entire game revels in its own weirdness, but a nightmarish sequence has a Kojima-shaped BT coming out of the floor to grab protagonist Sam Bridges' ankles. The sequence doesn't always trigger, but if players have Bridges sit in a private room for long enough, a pool of tar might appear around his bare feet. Similar to how Death Stranding 's BTs attack the player when traveling through their territory, the tar morphs itself into the likeness of Kojima before Bridges jolts awake out of the nightm


Yet again commenting on the bugs and glitches that are riddled throughout Cyberpunk 2077 , this meme is almost the best of them all, as it uses a perfectly apt screenshot and caption from Spider-Man
