Great to see you guys calling out some good news for the chronically ill gaming community. Glad that laptop helped that lad. Games have been my daily escape from chronic illness and it's always great to see stories similar to my own get the credit they deserve!
Can really appreciate the power of gaming and the freedom it brings to the chronically ill! Please share more great stories like this .. maybe even a good idea for a Gamerax charity!!
I've been handling acute anxiety disorders throughout my entire "adult" life, and my best escape tactic has always been playing video games. I've had to place a high priority on distractions, and video games have granted me the greatest form of escapism.

@@DripSplashWaterDripSplash yeah video games realy helped me trough a tough time in my life and still does so its realy nice to hear story's like this to know that it helped a lot of other people to and to know i am not alone
I think that there was a massive Cyberpunk update on 15 of February . It's 60 GB and it improved NPCs AI ,graphics , optimization and some other stuff and since then reviews became much better
Game is still buggy and it will never be what was originally promised. Definitely better though, less crashes and the NPCs don't just crouch and stand there when you fire your weapon. The Police are still crap and spawn behind you and There's still a lot of work to be done on the game but It's a step in the right direction.
@@Gatorade69 the gamę is like it is mainly because of pressure from players . CD wanted to give a good game but they focused on witcher in meantime and left cyberpunk but they will fix it
Why do you gotta trash on CP77 so hard? This update was awesome. They fixed a lot of things, balanced the game, added QoL stuff, fixed drops and most importantly dropped the console optimizations that it so desperately needed. Did you even read the patch notes? The game is now an above average game. And for those of us who still play the game, they added things to the romances in the game that makes sense if you're romantically involved.
I cant believe someone didnt make the lay-down head rest thingy earlier. I have dreamed for one of those. I'll probably never use one but its cool that it exists
I own cyberpunk and played a few hours when the game came out. I used community parch mods to make the game playable but it was still a wreck. Ima wait until the game is maybe 5 years old and then go back to the game for a full play through. Played Witcher 3 for the first time about two years ago and at that point in time the game felt perfect for me so I'm hoping the same will happen with cyberpunk.

The Titanreach story is even worse than how you made it out to be. They actually never got enough backers from Kickstarter so it shifted to their site where people could donate money for production. Eventually there was a anonymous donator (This person is no longer anonymous given the fallout), would was going to fund the entire project no questions asked. It was this money from the anonymous donator that the lead dev of Titanreach blew on crypto. Dev came clean and the donator cut funding, but still paid the last month payment so the dev team wasnt left high and dry with debt. I truly hope this donator didn't lose faith in humanity over all of this, because he got burned badly by just trying to give a hand to a project that actually had promise before the crypto shit.
I'm guessing the guy just has an insane amount of money and was understanding of the crypto gamble (a lot of otherwise intelligent people have been burned by crypto) and he probably believed the dev was really trying to multiply the fund via crypto, for the purpose of dumping it back into the game.
and this is why I NEVER donate to kickstarter games. The only possible way I'd do it is if it were some very close to me whom I knew wouldn't do this shit
Crowdfunding will ALWAYS be a risk but Kickstarter needs better oversight as right now its a haven of scams. And for those that aren't *AT A BARE MINIMUM* Kickstarter needs to give creators access to resources that give them a vague idea of business. I have seen SO many Kickstarters go into a permanent hiatus because the creators were genuine and had great ideas but who were very inexperienced when it came to business and thought they could lowball a project only to run out of funds at 20% completion forcing them to either work in the red in their free time for a decade or far more commonly leave an unfinished project. And Kickstarter also needs to give those resources to backers so they can see if a creators dream is even realistic at what they're budgeting.
"Cyberpunk is still not a perfect game". Lets see, so far it runs smooth on the ps4 pro, has awesome aesthetics, game and object design, the cars are awesome with awesome fleshed out interiors, even the fucking plastic chairs are cyberpunk. The driving now reels right, combat is finally great amongst other fixes. The weather systems are now functioning and full reflections on roads and surfaces with sand storms that make the game look like blade runner 2049. Yeah it still crashes sometimes but damn it's a gorgeous game.
the thing is they've just lost people support for lying at the lunch of the game so even if they do everything they promised at the first place it just not gonna make players back in to the game, like lets be honest the game was so bad at the lunch it barely ran on consols
That was a terrible No.1 The cyberpunk update did a lot for the game, that thing you are mentioning is a very small detail in it, and not much people paid attention to it.
I think the cyberpunk thing is a stretch. It’s only one of only many things in in the update.. definitely don’t think it belongs here tried it for the first time when it re-released on next gen and couldn’t put the control down. Let me down on this one falcon.
I love how Cyberpunk did the update where they fixed AI and driving mechanics but the weird thing is that the npc you're romancing might send you nudes(which granted it is) but then Falcon acts like that was the entire update and that was CDPR plan to get Cyberpunk fixed... I feel like someone should've watched back that last entry before they uploaded it. It doesn't seem like it's a weird entry but you just slamming cyberpunk for adding a small feature and portraying that as all that they did when they did a lot more then that. I've noticed that in a lot of Gameranx videos lately. The first handful of entries will be normal on par with the title then near the end it starts bordering on a being a different topic all together. Like ya the fact the CDPR added that feature is weird but you just made it seem like CDPR added that, made a big deal about it, thinks their game is fixed and you're making it sound like the game is still the way it was at launch. Unlike the rest of the entries(besides Agony and the sick kid. That didn't seem weird. A sick kid asked make a wish for something and he got it. That's fucking amazing not weird) where it was straight forward and on topic and sounded completely unbiased. Edit: If I remember correctly the news that the NPC's send you nudes came out AFTER the update had launched so if that's the case then Falcon just genuinely hasn't read the patch notes and is assuming the patch is bullshit. Good job guys definitely need someone watching these back to make sure they're on topic and have proper information behind the entries.
Yeah the way he described the Cyberpunk update was really annoying. Some of Gameranx latest top 10 list videos have been misleading and it’s starting to really lower my opinion of the channel. I’m still loving Jake’s before you buy videos though, those are fantastic.
@@RevanMaverick Oh Jakes Before You Buys are always amazing even if he personally doesn't like the game hr will point out it's best parts and why others may like it.
It's no secret falcon doesn't like cyberpunk go look at any video of his that is negative feedback on games you will find Cyber dunks littered through out those kind of videos. I personally don't regard it as the worst game launch ever . It's just one of the more recent bad launches. To each their own anyways .
@@sopianwahyudi It was and the nudes do belong in a weird gaming stories list but how he presented it was just bad. No real information behind any of it and it's all negative opinion. He could've been completely unbiased and gone with "Cyberpunk released a new update and it's massive. It apparently will make this, this and this better but the weird part is that the NPC you're romancing will now send you nudes" and gone on from there but no it's literally "Cyberpunks launch was bad so even after 5 big patches it's the exact same game and how CDPR plans to fix it is have NPC's send you nudes. Games bad" just sad really.
Whenever gameranx mentions Cyberpunk 2077, you can just tell they are unashamedly salty. Just the way they framed that entry implies that the massive 60 GB update is just boobies, and a lot of people are just going to think it is and not play it, or even tell other people to not play it because it's "just boobies". I get it, you're mad about the ridiculously misleading marketing, that it's a looter shooter that wrongly wishes it was an RPG, that Tipple A games no longer release in a perfect state because of the ballooning code. Either talk about that, or get over it. None of this salty, disingenuous, nonsense.
The make a wish kid is a really nice story, the fact he only asked for laptop says a lot about his character. He’s been through hell, but is still super humble
I agree 👍. It's amazing to see that people like that actually exist. Commercial trends are entirely centered around greed, so to hear about someone who is in grievous circumstances to display such pure humility is fantastic.
Bold of them to post this video with a day of February still left. I’ll bet tomorrow we’re gonna get headlines like Tom Cruise funds creation of a new Scientology games studio, Bandai no longer associated with Namco, and Square Enix sands their edges and are now known as Round Enix
Cyberpunk def isn’t perfect but this new update brought me back to restart and actually finish the game. 40 hrs in its only crashed 3-4 times and only a few emergence breaking bugs. Game looks beautiful on my Series S as well. Story is amazing👍🏼
It seriously looks a lot better though on x plus, the mechanics did change alot after 1.1 (yh last i played) about to finish 4th run and it is graphically way better. Story and most game elements still the same. Improved city npc ai and slightly better mix of generating npcs. No real groundbreaking ai improvements or real random quests. Some events but more as a bystander really
man, reducing the relationship update in CP2077 to "titties" is just wrong. There was a clear gap after completing any of the relationships in the game, so they made it a bit better by some texts and other stuff. Helps with the immersion the game is going for. Also saying that the update did only that is disingenuous. A whole lot of fixes were made to the game, and it is more stable than ever. There are still a lot of bugs, but the play experience is a lot smoother now, and lot more polished. They still have a lot of work ahead if they want to make it the game they said it would be, but this a right step in the right direction.
Agreed. I've been playing Cyberpunk with mods until the patch, and did a fresh install once it dropped - haven't had any crashes at all in the dozen hours I've been playing and thankfully many mods still function just fine. Apart from the previous bugs/crashes, Cyberpunk always ran really well for how much is going on, even on my laptop! But CDPR have made it even better. Still a bit of fine tuning and QOL updates to be desired in the interfaces, but it's a big step forward and anyone on the fence about playing can feel safe to get down and try it. The free (console) demo is very generous of CDPR and I hope they may do the same for PC gamers. Amazing story, world, visuals, gameplay and now performance too. Also, there were always tiddies. This is CDPR after all... The nudes are just a small part of all the new relationship updates to make it feel more personal, and specifically for people playing the uncensored game.
I will say, I held off getting Cyberpunk until the PS5 version came out, I've now got it and I haven't had a single issue as yet in perhaps 15 hours of play. I will say that I've seen a couple of small glitches, but man if people are willing to play Skyrim or Fallout and not get hung up on the glitches Bethesda games put out, then I don't know what else CDPR can do at this point. So far quite an interesting game and a very interesting world
Good to know it's running so well on consoles. I've been playing it on PC and was juggling mods to improve the game until the patch - now it runs just fine and it's only the mods that are the wildcard (though the game is much better at handling them too). Just you wait until you get to know the characters better - Cyberpunk is deeper and more moving than almost any game I've ever played and I was not expecting it at all.
I think Cyberpunk deserves more than 'they just added titties lol' personally. Played PS5 Cyberpunk for about 30 hours. No game breaking bugs, has crashed about 2-3 times but I save often and hasn't been much of a pain. I played PS4 version aswell and that crashed twice as much in about 10-12 hours and saw a couple of immersion breaking thinks here and there such as an enemy t posing in middle of a fight. The game is at least worth a second chance if you're interested in that world, with the free trial you get 5 hours. I'd probably write off the PS4 version though.
Agreed. The nudes are just a small part of the update for relationships to make them feel more personal, and only for people playing inuncensored anyway. And this is CDPR... there were already tiddies and sex scenes to begin with. Nudes are honestly rather tame in comparison
Cyberpunk runs great now. I have about 30 hours on series x. I've only seen minor graphical issues like a hovering motorcycle for a few seconds. Once you walk into it and give it a little bump, it was fine.
Just FYI, old plasma screens were all 600hz refresh rate by default. Not so great because of the obvious issue with artifact burning into the screen like menu items. What more important to me is the response. It doesn't matter if a monitor has a 1200hz refresh rate if it takes a full second longer than a 60hz monitor to show me what is happening.
technically that's true, but they never refresh the whole image at 600hz but just parts of it. It's called subframes and it's also dependent on the brightness level. So frame with low intensity would be shown shorter, than a frame with high intensity. It's basically a PWM method for dimming. Also Slo Mo guys did a nice video showcasing that
@@tallAldiProduction I still have my first and only plasma. I haven't used it years, but the 1st time I did I went 86-6 in MW2 with a UMP on Terminal. i can still remember people howling about how I was cheater before there were any mods for the PS3. I decided not to use it for gaming because it turned my place into an inferno but, Ill never forget how much faster it was update images than my LCD that costed 6 times its price. I could sit it side-by-side with any TV on the same channel as see images nearly a full second sooner on it.
Cyberpunk on my PS5 is A LOT closer to what they advertised, I played it through on my PS4 but I couldn’t really immerse myself in it. This time I am able to much much more.
It's also brazen for you to mention cyberpunk 2077 and not actually do a simple check on what the patch added, how the fuck do you know some obscure minor thing that was added but not know anything else? a video was even done recently on gameranx over it, like seriously falcon.
Cyberpunk is now more live in able if that's a thing or whatever. Like now you can rent apartments and the driving is definetly better. Plenty of texture fixes like the shadows are accurate now.
The addition of boobs is to make up for the lack of boobs in most fighting games lately. I loaded up MK9 the other day and thought the chest sizes was a hack!
I hate your description of the Cyberpunk patch. Yeah it added some additional content with the romantic partners, but what do you mean “if” that was all they added? The patch notes are there. We know this latest update has done plenty to improve the npc ai, the driving, the performance of the game, etc. I’ve been replaying the game and you guys know it’s much more than just adding nude pics to the game but instead you decided not to put that info in this video because you want to somehow connect an awesome Cyberpunk patch to the disaster of the game Agony. It’s not a trend and the Cyberpunk patch is hardly a weird story and yet you somehow put it as number 1 on your list. I guess there wasn’t much to talk about this month.
I remember back in 2010 I was 18 yrs old and due to my deceased father I had 30k to spend on college. Bought a 2k alienware laptop, bought Crysis. Couldn't play It because I ordered a micro gpu in the gaming laptop. Melted a year and half in
this cushion is something that reminds me of the lying face down at the physical therapist, where you also rest your head in like a gap between cushions i actually thought being able to game like that would be really comfortable :D so ye nice product
500 frames per second honestly feels more like a dıck measuring contest at that point. 60 already is real damn good but at 500, it just comes off more to simply brag about things
I recently met one of the nicest people I've ever met playing Destiny 2 on PC. Come to find out this guy was in a terrible accident around the time D1 launched. He was paralyzed from the waste down. He said Destiny was a huge part of why he turned his life outlook around. Now he finds joy in life from his son's achievements and playing Destiny 2. He inspires me to be more positive.
This video mostly was recorded before the update on cyberpunk 2077, I think cuz the update is really game changing imo, personally dint get any n*de pics from my love interest in the game after completing my play through few days back. Overall decent update and they said they would bring more patches as well so glad they got up to it and hopefully we get the game completely fixed soon.
I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease at 35, so I get it. It's not a pleasant condition and can destroy dreams (I was on the way to being a paramedic when it hit me), so good on the young fella getting the laptop.
I'm 21 and I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease recently and I was on my way to train to become math teacher when it hit. Some days are better than some but games help with the stress. Glad to see that young man got his wish.
I had mental illness that left me housebound for at least a year… truely gaming saved me. It was something to look forward to while getting the necessary treatment. I have often thought gaming was a great avenue to help the ill as well as the physical medical
Hope it isn't too bad for you guys. Age 18 it got really hard to go to school, I was always in the bathroom for hours. Later diagnosed with Crohns. I was staunch anti drug but medical marijuana, especially just CBD really helped put it into remission so I kinda changed my views on it. Luckily mine isn't bad enough to leave me hospitalized. It has really held me back in life.
Bowser was the villain THE ENTIRE TIME!! (Those lay forward seats look so odd, like your getting a back massage while playing a switch.) But I could see it being comfy, but it's one of those (no body look while I'm doing it kinda things) lol
The fact that you summarised the HUGE 1.5 Cyberpunk 2077 update as "people now send you nudes" is really disrespectful towards devs work and a huge downplay on how big the update really is. Some channels call it a soft relaunch. Falcon: "just some boobs" I'm really disappointed
Henry Cavill is actually a huge warhammer miniature fan. I believe he even said during an interview that he's been a fan since he was a kid, so it's not exactly weird that he was there but rather interesting that he was there (due to being recognized and all)
what the actual fuck is that cyberpunk comment, it's literally as if they did not look through the patch notes, the reception or anything at all but just jumped on the hate bandwagon (which literally kinda stopped with the update). Sad to see, please get back to doing your usual good work
Oi, the Cyberpunk update is honestly amazing! I haven't seen any texts like the one's mentioned, but it is on par with most open world games in terms of bugs (finally) and the immersion, atmosphere, character quality, action and just everything is BREATHTAKING! We should still hate on CD Projekt Red for their release fiasco, but the game itself is worth praising. Dissing Cyberpunk 2077 is so 2020 ;P
Agreed. I've been playing Cyberpunk with mods until the patch, and did a fresh install once it dropped - haven't had any crashes at all in the dozen hours I've been playing and thankfully many mods still function just fine. Apart from the previous bugs/crashes, Cyberpunk always ran really well for how much is going on, even on my laptop! But CDPR have made it even better.

The more frames the better for two reasons: One is so your eyes have the most up to date visual to work with even if you can't perceive each individual frame, and Two because any improvement in framerate also lowers input lag which it's a huge deal in VR or anything competitive or that requires precision like shooters.
You know, I had forgotten about Gary Bowser and now I was wondering if he was related to the President of Nintendo of America, who's also named Bowser, Doug Bowser. And apparently, they are not related. Small world but the name seems to be older that we first thought. 😄
The fanservice in Agony is especially concerning because we're talking about demonic horniness... but I don't wanna kink shame anyone, if you're into that, you do you
This is a bit of an old one But one of the studios that left EA (Slightly Mad Studios) in 2011 was bought by codemasters in 2019, only for codemasters to be bought by EA soon after in 2021 So technically, Slightly Mad Studios went back to EA's ownership almost exactly 10 years later
Oh dude, I watched that entire video about the guy cheating in guitar hero, he was just using a bunch of webcam and frame tricks. It's sad. Idk how you could live your life like a lie like that. I'd pretty much be done with the internet after that if I was in his shoes..
I downloaded the trial for cyber punk and when I met deshawn for the first time I got out of his car and saw two construction workers stuck inside of each other.. the game still has a lot of things that pull you away from all of the immersion it’s supposed to have.
TIME OUT. Cyberpunk 2077 also came out with a bunch of technical and mechanical fixes for patch 1.5 :( I wish gameranx would've read through the patch notes before making this video because it was definitely available.
The funny part about cyberpunk is I recently played it for the first time, through the main story and did a romance. Didn't get any saucy pics but did see some bugs 🤣🤣 still fun game though
wellll to be perfectly honest CP2077 having nudes is pretty much the same as naughty romance cards from the Witcher series so it's not really as weird bc that's what CD projekt does in their games. but combined with the agony unrated, it's definitely funny 😆
And no the most your eyes or well your brain could possibly pick up is around 180. So even all the 240 hertz TVs are basically pointless. It might be cool to say you have it but you won't see a difference.
You guys should at least have played cyberpunk a full playthrough before talking about it in a video. It's clear gameranx turned on the 1.5 update for 1 hour and moved on to something else. That game is way better than it was in the beginning and just the simple change from 1.3 to 1.5 is actually really huge and a lot of things changed within the game. Go actually play it
Humans in theory can see up to 1000 frames per second, that's how fast the nerves fire. But you have to process that information first. The upper limit we believe people can tell the difference is around 150 fps
OK, 1) I didn't even know until watching this that my copy of Agony Unrated now says Purchase instead of play, so thanks for the info. 2) Im pretty sure I originally got Agony for the uncensored-ness since depictions of Sin and Hell (and similar stuff) are more... raw or hardcore for a lack of a better word atm when uncensored. I barely notice the nakedness between running and sneaking around for my life while playing. Also, I haven't even played the "normal" version for this reason.
i just played through cyberpunk on my series x without a single glitch or crash.. waited years for that experience, and for me waiting that long i got a nude from panam, then preregistered dirty talk😭
Funny story in Australia it had been raining constantly for 4 days straight and my kitchen ceiling collapsed last night while I was playing elden ring on my series x. And we cleaned up the ceiling and insulation this morning. We had buckets and stuff underneath catching the water
It annoys me that you just focused on the new romance texting option. There is literally a ton of added things and fixes but you only mentioned the text thing, shameful.

Obviously did zero research on the Cyberpunk patch. 1.5 adds so much that was missing, it's not perfect, but miles better than launch.

And Kickstarter also needs to give those resources to backers so they can see if a creators dream is even realistic at what they're budgeting.

"Cyberpunk is still not a perfect game".
Lets see, so far it runs smooth on the ps4 pro, has awesome aesthetics, game and object design, the cars are awesome with awesome fleshed out interiors, even the fucking plastic chairs are cyberpunk.
The driving now reels right, combat is finally great amongst other fixes.
The weather systems are now functioning and full reflections on roads and surfaces with sand storms that make the game look like blade runner 2049.
Yeah it still crashes sometimes but damn it's a gorgeous game.

I'm surprised I don't see more comments about it.
Dude it's a weird story that he picked up from the update, didn't say that that the update was all bad
but lets be honest, who doesnt love getting nudes? lol
Man I so look forward to this monthly drop.

Me too.
Agreed
Definitely! 🖖🏻
Same it’s my favorite
I think the cyberpunk thing is a stretch. It’s only one of only many things in in the update..
definitely don’t think it belongs here tried it for the first time when it re-released on next gen and couldn’t put the control down.
Let me down on this one falcon.
It's still not great
Love this monthly video so much I wish more weird shit would happen so we could have it biweekly lol
we do too
CDPR: **drop a 60GB patch for their game**
Gameranx: Haha boobies, nothing else
Yeah... did they even read the patch notes? The "expanded romance" is like 1 line out of dozens of things that they added/tweaked.
Exactly what I was thinking. He really came off as an ignorant prude here.
Hearing falcon laugh like that is what I needed today
I love how Cyberpunk did the update where they fixed AI and driving mechanics but the weird thing is that the npc you're romancing might send you nudes(which granted it is) but then Falcon acts like that was the entire update and that was CDPR plan to get Cyberpunk fixed... I feel like someone should've watched back that last entry before they uploaded it. It doesn't seem like it's a weird entry but you just slamming cyberpunk for adding a small feature and portraying that as all that they did when they did a lot more then that.
I've noticed that in a lot of Gameranx videos lately. The first handful of entries will be normal on par with the title then near the end it starts bordering on a being a different topic all together. Like ya the fact the CDPR added that feature is weird but you just made it seem like CDPR added that, made a big deal about it, thinks their game is fixed and you're making it sound like the game is still the way it was at launch. Unlike the rest of the entries(besides Agony and the sick kid. That didn't seem weird. A sick kid asked make a wish for something and he got it. That's fucking amazing not weird) where it was straight forward and on topic and sounded completely unbiased.
Edit: If I remember correctly the news that the NPC's send you nudes came out AFTER the update had launched so if that's the case then Falcon just genuinely hasn't read the patch notes and is assuming the patch is bullshit. Good job guys definitely need someone watching these back to make sure they're on topic and have proper information behind the entries.
Yeah the way he described the Cyberpunk update was really annoying. Some of Gameranx latest top 10 list videos have been misleading and it’s starting to really lower my opinion of the channel. I’m still loving Jake’s before you buy videos though, those are fantastic.
@@RevanMaverick Oh Jakes Before You Buys are always amazing even if he personally doesn't like the game hr will point out it's best parts and why others may like it.
Gonna comment about that. Yea basically wtf? The update was waaaay more that nude selfies, I thought I am the only one who thought of that
It's no secret falcon doesn't like cyberpunk go look at any video of his that is negative feedback on games you will find Cyber dunks littered through out those kind of videos. I personally don't regard it as the worst game launch ever . It's just one of the more recent bad launches. To each their own anyways .
@@sopianwahyudi It was and the nudes do belong in a weird gaming stories list but how he presented it was just bad. No real information behind any of it and it's all negative opinion. He could've been completely unbiased and gone with "Cyberpunk released a new update and it's massive. It apparently will make this, this and this better but the weird part is that the NPC you're romancing will now send you nudes" and gone on from there but no it's literally "Cyberpunks launch was bad so even after 5 big patches it's the exact same game and how CDPR plans to fix it is have NPC's send you nudes. Games bad" just sad really.
Whenever gameranx mentions Cyberpunk 2077, you can just tell they are unashamedly salty. Just the way they framed that entry implies that the massive 60 GB update is just boobies, and a lot of people are just going to think it is and not play it, or even tell other people to not play it because it's "just boobies".
I get it, you're mad about the ridiculously misleading marketing, that it's a looter shooter that wrongly wishes it was an RPG, that Tipple A games no longer release in a perfect state because of the ballooning code. Either talk about that, or get over it. None of this salty, disingenuous, nonsense.
I agree with most of your points but this is definitely not just a looter shooter.
Love the weird gaming stories, they always give me a chuckle. Thanks lads, as always great content, keep it coming 👍

Bold of them to post this video with a day of February still left. I’ll bet tomorrow we’re gonna get headlines like Tom Cruise funds creation of a new Scientology games studio, Bandai no longer associated with Namco, and Square Enix sands their edges and are now known as Round Enix
Cyberpunk def isn’t perfect but this new update brought me back to restart and actually finish the game. 40 hrs in its only crashed 3-4 times and only a few emergence breaking bugs. Game looks beautiful on my Series S as well. Story is amazing👍🏼
That.... that sounds awful
Honest truth: 1.5 crashes way more than 1.3 did. I've gotten 2 crashes in a few hours compared to 0 crashes in a few hundred hours before .
My game crashed maybe twice. Thats all
It seriously looks a lot better though on x plus, the mechanics did change alot after 1.1 (yh last i played) about to finish 4th run and it is graphically way better. Story and most game elements still the same. Improved city npc ai and slightly better mix of generating npcs. No real groundbreaking ai improvements or real random quests. Some events but more as a bystander really
@@Johnny_Shields ever since I updated from 1.23 to 1.5 I haven’t gotten any crashes. On 1.23 I was crashing every ~35 mins
he sounds like he enjoyed reading the script more than the people watching and I love it
man, reducing the relationship update in CP2077 to "titties" is just wrong. There was a clear gap after completing any of the relationships in the game, so they made it a bit better by some texts and other stuff. Helps with the immersion the game is going for. Also saying that the update did only that is disingenuous. A whole lot of fixes were made to the game, and it is more stable than ever. There are still a lot of bugs, but the play experience is a lot smoother now, and lot more polished. They still have a lot of work ahead if they want to make it the game they said it would be, but this a right step in the right direction.
Agreed. I've been playing Cyberpunk with mods until the patch, and did a fresh install once it dropped - haven't had any crashes at all in the dozen hours I've been playing and thankfully many mods still function just fine. Apart from the previous bugs/crashes, Cyberpunk always ran really well for how much is going on, even on my laptop! But CDPR have made it even better. Still a bit of fine tuning and QOL updates to be desired in the interfaces, but it's a big step forward and anyone on the fence about playing can feel safe to get down and try it. The free (console) demo is very generous of CDPR and I hope they may do the same for PC gamers. Amazing story, world, visuals, gameplay and now performance too.
Also, there were always tiddies. This is CDPR after all... The nudes are just a small part of all the new relationship updates to make it feel more personal, and specifically for people playing the uncensored game.
I will say, I held off getting Cyberpunk until the PS5 version came out, I've now got it and I haven't had a single issue as yet in perhaps 15 hours of play. I will say that I've seen a couple of small glitches, but man if people are willing to play Skyrim or Fallout and not get hung up on the glitches Bethesda games put out, then I don't know what else CDPR can do at this point.
So far quite an interesting game and a very interesting world
Good to know it's running so well on consoles. I've been playing it on PC and was juggling mods to improve the game until the patch - now it runs just fine and it's only the mods that are the wildcard (though the game is much better at handling them too). Just you wait until you get to know the characters better - Cyberpunk is deeper and more moving than almost any game I've ever played and I was not expecting it at all.
Guess Im finally buying Cyberpunk
I do love that Gameranx just included Microsoft buying Activision Blizzard as a weird thing on its own because it freaking was 😂
Bowser was born to antagonize Nintendo 😂
😂
And run it. Google the president of Nintendo North America.
I've suffered from Crohn's disease since I was six years old, it's awesome that kid got a nice gaming laptop to help with the pain
I think Cyberpunk deserves more than 'they just added titties lol' personally. Played PS5 Cyberpunk for about 30 hours. No game breaking bugs, has crashed about 2-3 times but I save often and hasn't been much of a pain. I played PS4 version aswell and that crashed twice as much in about 10-12 hours and saw a couple of immersion breaking thinks here and there such as an enemy t posing in middle of a fight. The game is at least worth a second chance if you're interested in that world, with the free trial you get 5 hours. I'd probably write off the PS4 version though.
it blows my mind to hear you guys are crashing, i've played over 100 hours on pc with some mods and haven't crashed at all
Agreed. The nudes are just a small part of the update for relationships to make them feel more personal, and only for people playing inuncensored anyway. And this is CDPR... there were already tiddies and sex scenes to begin with. Nudes are honestly rather tame in comparison
Cyberpunk runs great now. I have about 30 hours on series x. I've only seen minor graphical issues like a hovering motorcycle for a few seconds. Once you walk into it and give it a little bump, it was fine.
So it just works?
are you able to play with one hand now?
Just FYI, old plasma screens were all 600hz refresh rate by default. Not so great because of the obvious issue with artifact burning into the screen like menu items. What more important to me is the response. It doesn't matter if a monitor has a 1200hz refresh rate if it takes a full second longer than a 60hz monitor to show me what is happening.
technically that's true, but they never refresh the whole image at 600hz but just parts of it. It's called subframes and it's also dependent on the brightness level. So frame with low intensity would be shown shorter, than a frame with high intensity. It's basically a PWM method for dimming.
Also Slo Mo guys did a nice video showcasing that
@@tallAldiProduction I still have my first and only plasma. I haven't used it years, but the 1st time I did I went 86-6 in MW2 with a UMP on Terminal. i can still remember people howling about how I was cheater before there were any mods for the PS3. I decided not to use it for gaming because it turned my place into an inferno but, Ill never forget how much faster it was update images than my LCD that costed 6 times its price. I could sit it side-by-side with any TV on the same channel as see images nearly a full second sooner on it.
Henry cavil would make a good space marine, time for Netflix to make a 40k series.
Cyberpunk on my PS5 is A LOT closer to what they advertised, I played it through on my PS4 but I couldn’t really immerse myself in it. This time I am able to much much more.
0:43 Yes, but it's almost impossible to spot the difference between 360hz and 500hz but human can see up to 1000 hz/s.
Yep thats diminishing returns for you
Only thing in Cyberpunk i am waiting for is that when will those Braindance chips will be compatible lol
Wasn't expecting a heartwarming story in there, thanks for sharing it!!
It's also brazen for you to mention cyberpunk 2077 and not actually do a simple check on what the patch added, how the fuck do you know some obscure minor thing that was added but not know anything else? a video was even done recently on gameranx over it, like seriously falcon.
Love the good news that made me happy even if wasnt weird to me I loved it
Cyberpunk is now more live in able if that's a thing or whatever. Like now you can rent apartments and the driving is definetly better. Plenty of texture fixes like the shadows are accurate now.
Wait, driving was even worse before 1.5?!
@@Fellesan 😂 wayyyy frigging worse my fellow human!
@@Fellesan the batmobile knockoff would literally spin circles when you would take a turn at 50
Henry Cavill is a huge Warhammer nerd. He can absolutely "just go" to Warhammer World
Considering the last to points, I'm surprised Horizon Forbidden West wasn't mentioned.
The addition of boobs is to make up for the lack of boobs in most fighting games lately.
I loaded up MK9 the other day and thought the chest sizes was a hack!
🤣🤣🤣you mean they was modding double D's bruh?! 🤣😂
I hate your description of the Cyberpunk patch. Yeah it added some additional content with the romantic partners, but what do you mean “if” that was all they added? The patch notes are there. We know this latest update has done plenty to improve the npc ai, the driving, the performance of the game, etc. I’ve been replaying the game and you guys know it’s much more than just adding nude pics to the game but instead you decided not to put that info in this video because you want to somehow connect an awesome Cyberpunk patch to the disaster of the game Agony. It’s not a trend and the Cyberpunk patch is hardly a weird story and yet you somehow put it as number 1 on your list. I guess there wasn’t much to talk about this month.
I remember back in 2010 I was 18 yrs old and due to my deceased father I had 30k to spend on college. Bought a 2k alienware laptop, bought Crysis. Couldn't play It because I ordered a micro gpu in the gaming laptop. Melted a year and half in
this cushion is something that reminds me of the lying face down at the physical therapist, where you also rest your head in like a gap between cushions

Yeah, I wish I had one in the 90s when I'd play my N64 on the living room floor and have a sore lower back after.
500 frames per second honestly feels more like a dıck measuring contest at that point. 60 already is real damn good but at 500, it just comes off more to simply brag about things
I recently met one of the nicest people I've ever met playing Destiny 2 on PC. Come to find out this guy was in a terrible accident around the time D1 launched. He was paralyzed from the waste down. He said Destiny was a huge part of why he turned his life outlook around. Now he finds joy in life from his son's achievements and playing Destiny 2. He inspires me to be more positive.
My favourite series on the internet! 😄
This video mostly was recorded before the update on cyberpunk 2077, I think cuz the update is really game changing imo, personally dint get any n*de pics from my love interest in the game after completing my play through few days back. Overall decent update and they said they would bring more patches as well so glad they got up to it and hopefully we get the game completely fixed soon.
The best gaming channel by far. Always great info, reviews, and opinions and really helps a lot!!
I played cp2077 day 1 on PC.
I noticed none if the bugs it's so infamous for.
Can we start doing top 10 weird gaming stories of the week??? Just throwing it out there
I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease at 35, so I get it. It's not a pleasant condition and can destroy dreams (I was on the way to being a paramedic when it hit me), so good on the young fella getting the laptop.
I'm 21 and I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease recently and I was on my way to train to become math teacher when it hit. Some days are better than some but games help with the stress. Glad to see that young man got his wish.
I had mental illness that left me housebound for at least a year… truely gaming saved me. It was something to look forward to while getting the necessary treatment. I have often thought gaming was a great avenue to help the ill as well as the physical medical
Hope it isn't too bad for you guys. Age 18 it got really hard to go to school, I was always in the bathroom for hours. Later diagnosed with Crohns. I was staunch anti drug but medical marijuana, especially just CBD really helped put it into remission so I kinda changed my views on it. Luckily mine isn't bad enough to leave me hospitalized. It has really held me back in life.
Bowser was the villain THE ENTIRE TIME!!
(Those lay forward seats look so odd, like your getting a back massage while playing a switch.) But I could see it being comfy, but it's one of those (no body look while I'm doing it kinda things) lol
The fact that you summarised the HUGE 1.5 Cyberpunk 2077 update as "people now send you nudes" is really disrespectful towards devs work and a huge downplay on how big the update really is. Some channels call it a soft relaunch. Falcon: "just some boobs"
I'm really disappointed

Roadhouse
Henry Cavill is actually a huge warhammer miniature fan. I believe he even said during an interview that he's been a fan since he was a kid, so it's not exactly weird that he was there but rather interesting that he was there (due to being recognized and all)
One is caught up playing the impassioned protagonist in one’s Subjective Narrative of Self🎈
what the actual fuck is that cyberpunk comment, it's literally as if they did not look through the patch notes, the reception or anything at all but just jumped on the hate bandwagon (which literally kinda stopped with the update). Sad to see, please get back to doing your usual good work
Loved the make a wish story. It's always good to see the positives of the gaming sphere
Oi, the Cyberpunk update is honestly amazing! I haven't seen any texts like the one's mentioned, but it is on par with most open world games in terms of bugs (finally) and the immersion, atmosphere, character quality, action and just everything is BREATHTAKING!
We should still hate on CD Projekt Red for their release fiasco, but the game itself is worth praising. Dissing Cyberpunk 2077 is so 2020 ;P
Agreed.

The more frames the better for two reasons: One is so your eyes have the most up to date visual to work with even if you can't perceive each individual frame, and Two because any improvement in framerate also lowers input lag which it's a huge deal in VR or anything competitive or that requires precision like shooters.
Tbf with the cyberpunk one they added alot of little things like more dialogue, some customisation stuff with the apartments
Thank you for the video gameranx!!!
You know, I had forgotten about Gary Bowser and now I was wondering if he was related to the President of Nintendo of America, who's also named Bowser, Doug Bowser. And apparently, they are not related. Small world but the name seems to be older that we first thought. 😄
Fun fact. You can MAYBE see a little more than 60 FPS but not like even 10 more.
So I just checked, Agony Unrateded is up right now on Steam as a standalone for like $3 bucks, don't know if it's also still a free update too though
i feel like we wont truly know the max refresh rate our eyes can see until vr progresses to those kinds of levels.
The fanservice in Agony is especially concerning because we're talking about demonic horniness... but I don't wanna kink shame anyone, if you're into that, you do you
This is a bit of an old one
But one of the studios that left EA (Slightly Mad Studios) in 2011 was bought by codemasters in 2019, only for codemasters to be bought by EA soon after in 2021
So technically, Slightly Mad Studios went back to EA's ownership almost exactly 10 years later
Oh dude, I watched that entire video about the guy cheating in guitar hero, he was just using a bunch of webcam and frame tricks. It's sad. Idk how you could live your life like a lie like that. I'd pretty much be done with the internet after that if I was in his shoes..
After about 200ishz the difference does begin to feel imperceptible. 240 compared to 60 is absolutely nuts tho.
5:29 Doing Spyro real dirty by having him in a picture with Crash but then proceed to only mention Crash.
as someone with Crohn's (found out around gr 5 or 6) it sucks, luckily mine never got really bad, and hope it stays that way
I downloaded the trial for cyber punk and when I met deshawn for the first time I got out of his car and saw two construction workers stuck inside of each other.. the game still has a lot of things that pull you away from all of the immersion it’s supposed to have.
I can't tell the difference between 30 fps and 60 fps 🤷♂️
TIME OUT. Cyberpunk 2077 also came out with a bunch of technical and mechanical fixes for patch 1.5 :( I wish gameranx would've read through the patch notes before making this video because it was definitely available.
My favorite format. Love u guys! Getting all my news here....saved me from some purchasing mistakes.
The funny part about cyberpunk is I recently played it for the first time, through the main story and did a romance. Didn't get any saucy pics but did see some bugs 🤣🤣 still fun game though
Thinking a 500 Hertz monitor example would be to basically open a window and look outside. As Falcon said - we're there
wellll to be perfectly honest CP2077 having nudes is pretty much the same as naughty romance cards from the Witcher series so it's not really as weird bc that's what CD projekt does in their games. but combined with the agony unrated, it's definitely funny 😆
And no the most your eyes or well your brain could possibly pick up is around 180. So even all the 240 hertz TVs are basically pointless. It might be cool to say you have it but you won't see a difference.
You guys should at least have played cyberpunk a full playthrough before talking about it in a video. It's clear gameranx turned on the 1.5 update for 1 hour and moved on to something else. That game is way better than it was in the beginning and just the simple change from 1.3 to 1.5 is actually really huge and a lot of things changed within the game. Go actually play it
i cant even imagine 360hz let alone 500 , im still amazed when i reach a steady 60 lol
Humans in theory can see up to 1000 frames per second, that's how fast the nerves fire. But you have to process that information first. The upper limit we believe people can tell the difference is around 150 fps
OK, 1) I didn't even know until watching this that my copy of Agony Unrated now says Purchase instead of play, so thanks for the info. 2) Im pretty sure I originally got Agony for the uncensored-ness since depictions of Sin and Hell (and similar stuff) are more... raw or hardcore for a lack of a better word atm when uncensored. I barely notice the nakedness between running and sneaking around for my life while playing. Also, I haven't even played the "normal" version for this reason.
i just played through cyberpunk on my series x without a single glitch or crash.. waited years for that experience, and for me waiting that long i got a nude from panam, then preregistered dirty talk😭
Funny story in Australia it had been raining constantly for 4 days straight and my kitchen ceiling collapsed last night while I was playing elden ring on my series x. And we cleaned up the ceiling and insulation this morning. We had buckets and stuff underneath catching the water
I can't be the only one who sees Falcon and thinks of Eagly from Peacemaker
Hell Yeah!!
Honestly I would hire Gary bower to be the head of my tech security team if they have one
Very rich people asking if our eyes can see 500 Hertz when they don't question anything over 4K.

It annoys me that you just focused on the new romance texting option. There is literally a ton of added things and fixes but you only mentioned the text thing, shameful.
