Cyberpunk 2077 — Our Commitment to Quality

+
Which patch will put the mature content back in? Or are you just going to keep going with the PG-13 shadow patch vibe?

I wouldn't be surprised if they found out there was only X amount of nudity before they weren't allowed on Xbox and Playstation.
 
I honestly approached this game without any steep expectations, even after being a cult follower of the Cyberpunk genre and series since the 80s. To me, the shortcomings of Cyberpunk 2077 are tolerable, but I fully understand where the angry mob is coming from. When it comes to commitment, I value BOTH action and the spoken word. I want proof that rectifications will be made, but I also want to hear what the authors of this game have to say. I am a gamer, not a developer, but I know how important empathy is between the makers and the users. I choose not to rant even though I'd like to see a lot of improvements with CP2077, simply because I know you guys already know what needs to be done, without being constantly nagged about it. No one is infallible. Everybody makes mistakes. Does that excuse failure and negligence? No. But it puts into perspective something inherent in all of us: we're all imperfect, and through this imperfection, we must learn and develop. I hope CD Projekt Red has learned a valuable lesson from this experience. I am hopeful that the game will significantly be better and flourish in the days/weeks/months/years to come. Cheer up, CDPR. Here's to better days ahead! 🥂

what does this statement even mean? Have cop and NPC AI? So having bad AI is good?

You took what i said out of context! keep the context for understanding!! I SAID:
There are WAY too many games that have single-player & then later added a multiplayer side of the game only to be trolled, hacked endlessly by players -- (I.E. GTA: V)

Please don't let CP2077 become another GTA: V, ....Please just be your own awesomeness!

There have been numerous topics that had thousands of eyes, and we're still left with speculation like that.
If that's truely it, then my response is:
Ok, but I play on PC, as well as well over 50% of the people who are currently playing it. We were promised a mature game. Hell, it was even rated a mature game.

FAQ

Q: Why is there such a gap between PC versions of Cyberpunk 2077 and old-gen consoles?

A
: Cyberpunk 2077 is huge in scope, it features a multitude of custom objects, interacting systems and mechanics. In the game, everything is not stretched out over flat terrain where we can make things less taxing hardware-wise, but condensed in one big city and in a relatively loading-free environment. We made it even more difficult for ourselves by first wanting to make the game look epic on PCs and then adjusting it to consoles — especially old-gens. That was our core assumption. And things did not look super difficult at first, while we knew the hardware gap, ultimately, time has proven that we've underestimated the task.

Q: What was the main issue that made development for consoles that difficult?

A
: The main culprit was having to constantly improve our in-game streaming system for old-gen consoles. Streaming is responsible for “feeding” the engine with what you see on screen, as well as the game mechanics. Since the city is so packed and the disk bandwidth of old-gen consoles is what it is, this is something that constantly challenged us.

Q: Didn’t you test old-gen consoles to keep tabs on the experience?

A:
We did. As it turned out, our testing did not show many of the issues you experienced while playing the game. As we got closer to launch, we saw significant improvements each and every day, and we really believed we’d deliver in the final day zero update.

Q: Why was there a gap between PC and console reviews?

A:
We started sending out PC review keys to start the review process in the first week of December. Come December 10th, launch day, we had a really good start with PC reviews, and while it’s not perfect, this is a version of the game we were, and still are, very proud of. When it comes to the review process for consoles, at the same time PC codes were sent out we were still working hard to improve the quality of the game on old-gen consoles. Every extra day that we worked on the day zero update brought visible improvement — that’s why we started sending console codes for reviews on the 8th December, which was later than we had planned.

Q: What have you done since launch to make the game better?

A:
Our top priority since launch has been to fix bugs in Cyberpunk 2077. We have already released three hotfixes which have improved the game, but these are just the beginning.

Q: What are you going to do going forward to fix Cyberpunk 2077?

A:
We are focused on fixing the bugs and crashes players are experiencing across every platform. You can expect more in the way of patches — both small and large — to be released regularly. The first update will drop in the next 10 days, and it will be followed by a larger, more significant update, in the weeks after. Our plans for supporting Cyberpunk 2077 in the long-term are unchanged, and we will continue to introduce updates and patches to give all players across all consoles and PCs a better experience with the game.

Q: You have said there would be free DLC for the game in ‘early 2021’, will this be impacted by improvements?

A:
We’re still planning on releasing free DLC for the game, just like with The Witcher 3. However, we have decided that our priority is working on the most important fixes and updates. We will be releasing free DLC afterwards — we’ll have more to say about that in the coming months.

Q: When can we expect the next-gen update for Cyberpunk 2077?

A:
For those who are playing the game on next-gen consoles via backwards compatibility, we are planning the free, next-gen update for Cyberpunk 2077 on Xbox Series consoles, and PlayStation 5, this year. We’re aiming for the second half of the year and we’ll reveal more when we have more to share.

Q: Are you making the team crunch to work on the patches?

A:
The team is working to bring relevant fixes to the game without any obligatory overtime. Avoiding crunch on all of our future projects is one of our top priorities.

Q: When is the game coming back to PlayStation Store?

A:
We are working on fixes and updates, and are working with Sony to bring Cyberpunk 2077 back to PlayStation Store as soon as possible.

Q: What is the status of the Help Me Refund initiative?

A:
The initiative is progressing according to plan and we just sent out the first wave of reimbursements.

What would have happened if we hadn’t met with the Militech agent?
Or told Royce about the agent and her plans?
Or just decided to buy the bot ourselves?
So many options, so many possibilities, and each will have consequences rippling through the game world and your story. And that's just one quest.

what happened to this?
Until the last day it was what stood out the most in the game, it has been repeated since 2018 as a legitimate source
 
what does this statement even mean? Have cop and NPC AI? So having bad AI is good?
I think he meant the (assumed) online part. I tried about 3 times to play GTA online and there was the (what I call it) WoW Effekt. You come online and you die before you even know what you have to do.
You'll get frustrated at once.
IMHO he wants CDPR to develop further on the single player part (which is good), rather than turning to multiplayer mode.
In fact I would love to see a multiplayer coop mode.
It would turn the game to real RPG ... having your own group of runners ... taking jobs from a fixer and each member of the group beeing specialized in a certain direction (Melee, netrunning, weapons or social)

Yeah I never played GTA Online or RDR2 online. I just focused on the main campaign and single player.

If we could magically fix things, I'd remove all the sleazy advertisements and insert the nudity back into the sex scenes.
 
How bad sidequests are in this game, God, how bad they are.
I remember there was a sidequest there, Regina asked to steal an eye. One man lost his eye at cards in a Chinese cafe where Tiger Claws play cards for money. And we need to get this eye back.

To return it, you just need to go through the back door, open just one door with the "Technique" skill and take the eye out of the box. This quest lasts somewhere .... two minutes.
This is bad. It's lazy. It's boring. This is stupid.
And I thought, what would the old CDPR do? Before they were replaced by impostors?
They would give the opportunity to steal that eye, or play cards with the Tiger Claws and win it back honestly!

God, all the sidequests of this game just need to be deleted and redone. 50% of this game needs to be redone from scratch.

What? That was awesome. You got to use your skills to bypass the shoot out!
 
Hotfix 1.05 mentioned: "Removed debug console to prevent functions that could lead to crashes or blocked quests. This doesn't mean we don't want to support the modding community. Stay tuned for more info on that." When is that planned? So that modders can create new gigs, animations, mundane interaction and so on?

if I have caused any confusion in my post while referencing GTA5, I was talking about the ONLINE aspect of it, where you login and while you are playing you get trolled or hacked by other players messing up the server, glitching and stuff whichy can ruin the overall gaming experience online!... so when i said "dont let cp become like gta5", i m referring to the multiplayer aspect of it with piss poor security measures.. like if there is going to be a online portion to CP2077, I want to see stronger cheat blocking measures put inplace, like a "instant ban" type of thing.

In fact, the non nudity is most likely due to the US market.
In US you'll get a 6+ rating if you just shoot some limbs off the body, but you'll get an "adult only" if you show some nipples.

Yes, which is ridiculous.

Dragon Age: Inqusiition, Watch_Dogs, and Witcher 1 and 2 had to be very careful.

These people are a LOOOOOOOOOONG way away from anything online.

When people make comparisons to GTA they are talking about NPC AI, Cop AI, wanted system, driving AI and maybe some extra activities like card games and golfing.

Even Witcher 3 had a card game and CDPR made not one but two entire tournament questlines about it.

Thats what people want.

Dude, just go to a body pit where every body there is stripped down and thrown like trash. Honestly, in a mature game that says "Nudity" and even has a nudity filtering feature, how truely lame is it for them to be in hand drawn underwear that obviously was not designed to even be there let alone make any sense of being there?
All the tube dancers have been removed even though they were covered up, but the tubes are still there.
There are plenty of examples. Nudity is an easy one to focus on, but it still goes well past that, too.
 
Conan Exiles is a more daring game in terms of nudity and violence.
And yes, in Conan Exiles, the penis enlargement potion actually works.
