Played this weekend again. Missed this alot. Did all of the side quests I have. Found all the tarrot cards and then all the crime in progress aswell 
Definitely thinking I’m going to go for the ending where Johnny takes over V’s body curios to see what happens
Ek het op gegee! Im missing 2 and I couldnt see it

My brain is weird. I think I might be a contrarion. I was full on the train against CDPR before the game launched, I got it and bitched about it. I’ve never been the CDPR fan like so many others.
But now that the discourse has changed more towards my views, I find myself thinking I should give this game another go and try again. Patch 1.2 looked promising and perhaps my contrarion brain might even enjoy the game more.
Alternative title:
Cyberpunk Managers Still Win Big Bonuses After Grossing $609 Million.
The real meat of that story is how the bonus money is divvied up. Schreier reported that employees said the bonuses were lower than they expected.
From my reading of the CDPR investor call transcription, they put aside 20% of the profit to pay out as bonuses.
Around half of that ($28 million) went to the management board and was split 5 ways.
The other half ($29.8 million) was split among 865 employees.
Part of the complaint is that staff wanted to delay publication of the game, while the management board pushed to release it before it was ready. As a result, the launch was a mess and the game didn’t make as much money as it could’ve.
So as a result of a decision the management board made, the bonuses staff received was lower than it might have been.
In other words, the CDPR management board does not appear to be feeling the financial consequences of their decision to release early, while the staff are.
Of course, this is an argument that tries to place blame by looking along only a few dimensions in this massively complicated decision.
Staff would have received $0 bonus if the studio had gone under. I don’t know if things were that dire, but there must be a reason the management board decided to release the game despite warnings from staff that it would not be ready.

I’ll play the game again as soon as there is enough new content / DLC.
Right, so after looking around for an FPS game to play, I ended up having to choose between giving Cyberpunk 2077 a go again, or playing The Outer Worlds for a 3rd time. Curiously Cyberpunk kept worming itself back into my thoughts, so I decided to make some space on the hard drive, and install it again.
When I played the game at launch, I went through a rollercoaster or emotions. My inner contrarian wanted to game to fail after the ridiculous hype it got and the fervent defense of shitty developer behavior. But a part of me wanted to like the game as well, as the setting, story, gameplay and world all should be right up my alley. Ultimately I never finished the game and left it disappointed. The vitriolic attacks against CD Projek Red after launch also tainted my experience, and the whole vibe of the game had this massive cloud of negativity that seeped into my opinion of the game.
But time heals all wounds. The negativity has all but died down, Cyberpunk has been patched multiple times and I can now try out the game without all those other subjective elements spoiling the experience.
I played about 7 hours of the game over the weekend, and enjoyed about 95% of that time with the game. Cyberpunk has gone from being a buggy mess, to just being buggy. The game runs infinitely better than at launch. There are almost no game breaking bugs I’ve encountered and performance is even improved. My rig easily achieves framerates of 50 to 60 FPS with only very occasional dips to something like 45 FPS. More than playable. My PC also doesn’t sound like it’s about to explode.
There are still a lot of bug. But these are more “Skyrim quirky” type of bugs than actual game breaking bugs. Things like animation issues, missed dialog queues, overlapping dialog, far away object texture glitches. Nothing that breaks the game, but it does break the immersion. Which is still a real shame, and the rest of the game is so dripping with atmosphere and wants you to immerse yourself into its world.
There isn’t any additional content yet in the game. All the updates have been purely to get the game in a working state. This is sad that there is still some untapped potential from the game world that could make it just so much better.
Overall I’d say Cyberpunk is finally in a working state on PC, and it rather enjoyable to play right now. It’s also rather cheap to get, so if you do see a special somewhere or have been waiting to play the game, now is not a bad time to get stuck into the game.
I’ve been patiently waiting for the 1.3 patch (which is “just around the corner”) before I continue playing. I also enjoyed it for the most part but havent finished. I just hope the 1.3 patch is a proper patch that makes it a proper game and reworks some of the mechanics they had to butcher…
Yes I know how it sounds. I’m naive, i’m ok with that.
That’s I’m waiting for too. If 1.3 is as comprehensive as people believe, there may be issues with save files not working so well once the new patch is out, so am doing the waiting game too. That said, the 1.3 patch is “On the way” tweet is now almost a month old.
1.2 went live four odd months ago now. It’s time for a big old “sort a huge bunch of stuff out all at once” patch.
Then of course, there’s this bloke making a patch 1.3 megamod himslef:

My biggest gripe is that the game is an open world just for the sake of it. I dont think it NEEDED to be an open world. And with that open world comes many of the game’s bugs. As a result, CP2k77 has a problem with driving mechanics and it feels off.
It is like LA Noire. The open world was only there to allow you to drive from the station to the crime scene. That was just not required. Police Quest did that in the 80’s, and you drove to the scene, but only needed a detailed level where a crime took place.
Some of the shooter levels I played were great, and its a solid shooter.
You can upgrade your legs to run faster than a car …
I think I’ll finish the game this week. I was holding off on the ending, same like Kingdom Come: Deliverance, cos there’s no real point after it’s done.
CDProjectRed is not the same company. Key devs behind The Witcher have left. They left a long time ago, when they saw the fuck show that was unfolding during the development cycles of Cyberpunk. So, don’t put this game up on the same pedestal, that the The Witcher is on. I view this game as a decent game, with enough nice ideas from a new company, quite frankly. Was it a waste of money? Not unless you bought early. You should have waited for enough real world real people gameplay to decide. Stop watching those youtube channels, that whisper in your ear, like they give a fuck about your hard earned, low value Ronts.
This is happening in Crackdown 3 too 
The driving is not that great but who cares when you run and jump like some super hero!
You know whats weird…I totally don’t regret the collectors edition. The development/quality of that compared to the game inside was a different company. We got a ton of cool stuff (we even framed the map of night city and its on the wall behind me), the statue is wicked cool and earns a spot on our bookshelf next to our TV. So while I regret preordering the GAME, I don’t regret the collectors goodies whatsoever.
But I think from now on if you guys hear me preorder a game…stay away
The last game I preordered was multiple copies of Batman Arkham Knight :’( back when I was still nice enough to give games away
I’m pretty much just waiting for some new DLC before I play this game again. As someone mentioned earlier, once you’re done playing the game, it’s done. So I want to play it one final time with all the DLC included and then not really come back to it again (probably).
