      The thing is, their idea of the different districts in NC was great - but they didn't know how to get it across. I read the official guide along with playing the game, and there was so much backstory about how the different districts came to be, which was never conveyed in the actual game.
      The only district that really worked for me was Pacifica. Empty, destroyed streets with lots of criminals running around, never knowing who is a friend or an enemy... That was great.
      But unfortunately, at least on the PS4, the game failed to deliver that in the other districts as well. For example, less trash in the richer districts, more in the poor ones. More people in the safer districts, less people in the unsafer ones. These are so basic but there is so much that could have been done to improve the atmosphere and make NC feel like an actual character almost, but it was just wasted. And that's what makes me sad the most.

      Eh, the game looks great in screenshots, but as soon as you start exploring, it stops looking nearly as impressive. Only reason it looks graphically impressive at all is the ray traced effects. Even Minecraft looks stunning with Ray Tracing on. Once you start looking closer, you start to notice how little detail there is in the world. Unironically GTA 4 felt more like a "real"/believable city than Night City ever did.

    Basically, the bottom line is that next-level devs set the standard for sandbox open-world modern cities about 10 years ago. There have been other games, just like Spiderman that were successfully able to live up to that standard, but for some reason, probably workplace corruption mixed in with a little bit of corporate greed, Cyberpunk failed at even meeting the bar, let alone raising it. The end.

    • @jaigray5422
      @jaigray5422 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      No they raised the bar when it comes to graphics if you have a high end PC that can run it that is, and is easily one of if not the best looking game money can buy right now out of all the platforms but like I said you need a very high end PC to run it like that at minimum a 2080 super and a high clockspeed CPU with at minimum 8 cores like an i7 9700k and alot of ram 32 GB minimum otherwise the game is going to stutter and you need a SSD if you don't have a SSD no point even playing the game as the render distance is abysmal on anything but an SSD. Where they messed up is polish, like bugs and quest design for example, even the choice system is pretty pointless but still tells a good story nonetheless. The writing is solid and for an RPG it's good but not great gameplay wise. Other than graphics though games like GTAV completely blow it out the water in terms of quest design, writing, and sheer polish and their previous game The witcher 3 is so far ahead of Cyberpunk in terms of quality, quest design, writing etc you'd think a different company made it. But I have to disagree unless you're talking about solely the console version, they defo raised the bar when it comes to an open world RPG at that kind of detail but everything else ended up being just "good enough" or in some cases out right terrible like the Police AI.

      @@jaigray5422 Depending on how you want to limit the qualities your looking for, not even that is true. RDR2 easily ties CP2077 in terms of visual detail (even if it's not the same setting), The Yakuza games have orders of magnitudes more interactivity to their cities (but no car sandboxing of course) and Dying Light + to a technically inferior degree Assassins Creed absolutely keep the crown of verticality for their environments, no contest. So it's not really raising the bar in any of those regards, punching around the same weight class I'd argue is a more fitting description.

      @@slyseal2091 Cyberpunk maxed out including the Ray tracing has way better reflections and the lighting from RT is on another level compared to every other games except Minecraft RTX, even texture quality is much higher on CP 2077 than RDR2. In some areas sure RDR2 is better visually in maybe character detail effects but thats about it. The only thing RDR2 has over CP 2077 for 100% fact in the graphics department is animations most is close or similar stuff like reflections, lighting, global illumination etc is CP 2077 wipes the floor with RDR2, even AI on screen at once is like 15x RDR2 on the max setting iv'e literally had maybe 200-250 NPCs on screen at once. When I say maxed out I really do mean maxed out every setting at max including RT and I max both games and i'm sorry I completely disagree CP2077 is technically superior in almost every single way to RDR2. When it comes to AC Valhalla The witcher 3 50% of areas/graphics like grass detail including draw distance, better lighting, better animation and many more and this is what 6 year old game at this point and still behind even The witcher 3 in terms of graphics so it aint even close to CP? AC valhalla aint even in the same ball park as RDR2 or CP 2077 but I do agree there is more Verticality but this does little in terms of how a game looks but is only really a gameplay thing to give you a sense of scale. Judging them as games rather than the graphics and open world stuff etc I still like RDR2 over CP 2077 but one thing CP2077 did right was the graphics no open world game touches it in terms of graphics other than maybe Star citizen but that game lacks in alot of areas too and it's in alpha so cant judge to harshly yet so in my opinion CP2077 will be the king of graphics for probably the next 2-5 years on PC.

      @N7Andy The game is just shit. The NPC's has no complex AI to speak of. I agree with the comment you were responding to. Skyrim had more complex NPC lives. At the time that skyrim was released, the game was hugely complex. Meanwhile Cyberpunk is worse than GTAV that was released 8 years ago. Let's just be real here. Cyberpunk is a failed game. Nothing really works as intended except for the main quests.

    • @axidrain

      @N7Andy because they actually advertised that more than 1000 npcs will have lives of their own. They don't even respond realistically to being hit by cars or being shot at. It's not an issue of how hard it is to program the npcs it's the fact there is literally zero AI for the npcs. We are comparing the game based on their previous claims.

      @@lightningonlycommentsonce5824 Whilst I do think there are some games that had controversy's in the past I would say that on the whole it seems like a lot more happen these days. I mean in the past you go to a shop, buy a game and when you get home you play that game. Now you have to study the different versions of the game to find out which one you want rather than just having it all included, then when you get the game ether physically or digitally you have to wait for any patches to install for ages before playing. That's if you're pc or console doesn't have an update to do before that. Then when you get into the game there is a 50 % chance it's filled with microtransactions or broken at launch. Whilst some old games were broken at launch it does seem to be happening more and more in recent times from the bigger studios. I think part of the reason for this is because back then the games industry was much smaller so growth was stable but now that it's so big that growth has slowed down and so publishers are trying to push out games as quick as possible in order to try and keep the growth as high as they can. This however as we have seen doesn't work most of the time.

      However, in this case, I don't think they have any excuses. I doubt they were light on the purse. Pretty sure this publisher was swimming in cash and decided to just drop a bomb for no good reason.

      this guy gets it. now i know bollywood up there is dumbing it down, but to those looking for what 'actually' happens....It's not really so much of a memory management issue...at all! It's each and every one of those NPC's AI system gobbling up CPU cycles. Memory is cheap and easy and not a big deal to manage. Most of it is done via hardware to get data from something as slow as a platter drive into RAM, then via the memory controller into the processors various caches (l3 l2 l1 etc) and finally into the CPU itself where they can finally be utilized to do math etc. So memory, that's not the issue. The issue with having a living breathing open world game is that every NPC that has it's own thoughts and feelings etc can actually be an even larger drain on the CPU then say, a remote network player that is a real person, since the cpu just has to translate that avatars movement, where as, again, every NPC needs to think and that eats up a LOT of cpu cycles. THAT BEING SAID, cd proj rekt is kinda fuckin up here. It's like they said fuck a coroutine lets update the logic every frame for every NPC. this is bad and will cause the type of systemic jank they are avoiding by just, removing the fuckin NPCs. If they were to leave everything in your vicinity loaded in ram, and maybe, cull the update frequency of the NPC logic based on proximity to the local player, either via some formula or something similar to LOD (level of detail, very common system used to provide discrete levels of detail and polygon / tri count for models based on distance to player) then they would do well by this. Setting aside or attaching to already existing distance based culling systems is a great way to achieve this for free, and it really kinda feels like cd proj red is just too forward thinking or something and won't cull out npc intelligence with some coroutines. basically instead of updating the npc logic every frame (or more) you update an NPC behavior every like, second or so, or maybe every 2 seconds etc the farther away they are. if some person in the crowd you can't even see bumps into a wall that's not only funny but also costs you nothing in cpu cycles besides the collission...which is problem number 2. Physics culling can be important. It is very expensive to accurately do physics on complex shapes such as a ragdoll character etc. one thin i do in my games is for far away players that are NPC and have NPC logic that i only update, once in a while, i just slap a capsule collider around it until it becomes close enough to matter.
      Long story short, this is clearly a systemic lack of either the ability, understanding, or desire to properly implement NPC logic at scale, and the solution is not to remove NPCs until it works, it's to just let them be stupider until you get it working. The actual logic in the NPC itself can get smarter without costing more cycles, there is no rule stating that smarter NPCs have more/longer code that takes more time to execute....sometimes people just make some garbage water ass bullshit and can't admit it to their boss when they are asked why the traffic system is setting xboxes on fire.

But it's not like with paging and everything that cd projects rad really thinks they about to run out of rammories lol. Things like how in GTA, the car your driving your most likely going to see someone else driving it is real, and smart, that model is already loaded and readily available as it's easier to make instances of things than a bunch of unique things once. But that's just like, the pinch of cinnamon being added to the freebase. I think project red maybe eventually could use these kinds of pinch of cinnamon optimizations, but those things don't make the difference between grinding to a halt and catching fire or not lol. They need to manage their npc ai code better. The worst part is, there are countless games that do this and have been doing it on shittier hardware for a long ass time. Unless they are using actual people to describe the bits for each npc to load them into the players pervue then it's definitely not the rammories, and god have mercy on us all if that's what they think it is and are addressing...but something tells me someone's ego is a bit in the way and they told management something about the hardware not having enough ram for their big brain AI that they made from a among us unity game TH-cam hot take

Making the AI stupid is more just like not calling it's logic to pick it's next behavior as often, which wouldn't cause the kind of swedish ass stuff you are describing. Thing is you can make the npc at distance look like potatoes, reduce animations etc etc, but if it's close enough to be real (remember in video where moodi shows the fake cars at a distance) but once it's real, it's allocated, and it doesn't make sense to dealloc it without some kind of threshold. Just have it only update it's logic every second or so. Things like lod and choppy animations are good, however, most engines have built in dynamic culling for the camera and there are additionally lots of standard practices that handle things you can't see because the only thing worse than wayyyy too much npc logic is trying to render everything all the time always. But like for example, looking away from an npc means that automagically the GPU won't be touching it with a 10 foot poll, it only renders what it sees.

Also, Witcher 3's maps featured a lot of rather empty wilderness, which is quite different from a densely populated city. They really should have created a couple of districts. It would have allowed them to crank out more NPCs and given them more time to polish the game since the huge difficulties with an open world game would have been avoided.

I was expecting Witcher-series like game (not Witcher 3, btw, it's always moronic to compare third game in a trilogy to a game that is first and, at this time, the only one) with plenty of bug at the start (i feel like i was the only one who remembered The Witcher 3 release, lol). I expected meaningless open world with grindy pointless question marks all over the map, bunch of grindy contract type missions (Gigs, basically, direct import of monster hunts from TW3), several meaningless side quests, several good side-quests, decent story-line with engaging characters, atmospheric surroundings, gorgeous world and absolutely 11/10 music. Literally got everything i expected, lol. Good and bad. Don't believe words from multi-millionaire companies, believe their previous products. I don't know how people don't get, that when CDPR says that they will make good open world, they mean open world that is 100x shittier than when Rockstar or Bethesda says similar thing. I would be angry if Rockstar released CP2077 for lack of actual freedom in sandbox, but i never in a wildest dream would expect CDPR to make something like GTA or RDR. They simply don't know how to do that, and i don't want them to do that. We already have Rockstar for that.

    You cant explore the city, because you cant discover anything. The only space you will find, are quest related (and not active when you dont have the quest for them) or leftovers from a previous build (like the subway stations).
    The game only exists for the quests, but tries to fool you with an empty looking and feeling world inbetween. I was so bored by it, that I stopped playing.
    The "keanu reeves and his johnny tale" quest isnt doing its part for me. Why should I care about the hollywood actor at all? He is distracting.

    ''People who are most invested in a title usually end up being the most critical for it'' this is exactly what happened to me with Batman Arkham Knight. I know a lot of people argue about the same things but for me, it was the first game I was THAT invested in, I read every article, watched every video from every creator and their own channel, I pre-ordered, and exhausted myself by constantly looking for new information I could feed and live off of. When the game finally came out I loved it up until the same moment everyone else began to, I'll say lost interest. I was so incredibly disappointed by what we got because it just did not meet my overly high expectations and because they really fucked up with their decision-making, most of it was their fault but I did have a problem.

      To be honest, I think Cyberpunk 2077 is really fun and ambitious, nothing justifies the state the game was released in but after the updates I really think it is a good game, not a great game but a good game in general.
      And on old-gen they drastically reduced the NPC count and increased the Pop-In everything to get a stable performance, to be honest I'm even surprised that this game can keep 30fps at all on PS4 given the minimum requirements to get it running. on PC, I prefer stable 30fps than high detail, but yeah... unless old-gen is your only option I recommend waiting for the next-gen version for PS5/Xbox Series X or playing on PC that is where this game really shines.

    If they had made a way smaller game as you said, and doubled down on AI, deeper RPG depth, balance and - of course bug fixing and optimization, they would have been golden. They could have used to next 5 years adding more and more of the city in new patches with more and more characters, stories and gameplay (think more cars, mods, guns, new races, new fist-fights, etc.). They could have added extensive features that could even be integrated into the multiplayer (housing, creating gangs, professions/specializations, etc.).
    Instead they sullied their good reputation, and will have to struggle for years and years to gain a fraction of that trust and good-will back. Even that might not be enough. This management decision was an absolute death blow to the game and the developers.

I personally loved the game, at least during my first 3 playthroughs, now that love is starting to diminish after I have realised how bad CDPR screwed us, but nevertheless I still want to see the game flourish. Like Muta said, those who are most invested in a game are the most critical, I played on the original PS4 up until April then took a break. When I returned it dawned on me just how terrible the game plays, the cyberpunk genre/theme is my favourite and Cyberpunk 2077 is the first time we have received an open world cyberpunk game, and it was ruined. I really hope in the coming year or two the game does a complete refresh and makes the game that we all wanted

And most of all, bringing back a healthy dose of honesty and transparency from a large gaming corporation. And CDPR themselves were inciting all of this themselves, leading everyone on from the very first day. Then they utterly underdelivered, and ultimately ended up standing as hypocrites to their own snarky remarks towards other large gaming corporations (like EA, Ubisoft, etc)

    I watched another video on how impressive the NPC AI system of Watch Dogs 2 was. And the stuff Ubisoft coded into making their NPCs feel like actual people roaming the streets is incredible. Then, Watch Dogs Legion took that to another level. In my experiences, I seen the AI system in Watch Dogs in action. When you save someone for a "Potential recruit", they're saved in the game's memory. And if you follow that person, they have a schedule. You can see that schedule in the game's profiler, but the neat thing is, if it says "Hangs out with other npc at this bar at 19:00", if you go to that bar at 19:00, assuming there's no delays in the NPC's actions, you'll see that NPC there, with the person the profile says they're hanging out with.
    And best of all, if you save an NPC's life, there's a strong possibility that NPC's relative will show up and thank you. I had that happened. I saved the life of one NPC, for their cousin to show up and want to join the Dedsec cause... I was blown away at how advanced Watch Dog's AI is.
    If CDPR had made a Watch Dogs like system in Cyberpunk, one where the NPCs have routines like actual people, and you can actually follow that routine... there's something magical about that in a video game. I know Watch Dogs Legion's entire gimmick is it's NPC System, but damn... it's incredible what the coding can do. This just goes to show how inexperienced CDPR are with this type of game though, and how they should have never tried to sell us the game as "The new standard" when games like GTA and Watch Dogs exist...

      To be fair, Ubisoft is a MASSIVE studio with thousands of people working solely on that system, which, as you said, was the main gimmick of the game, CDPR just doesn't have the manpower or focus to even dream about getting a system like that, which is a shame.

    I noticed how crazy everyone was going for Cyberpunk a few weeks leading up to its release. It was plastered on posters and advertised everywhere. I was bored, so I decided to pre order just a few days before it released. I fell completely in love with the game and thoroughly enjoyed it. The story and engaging characters were the best parts for me. However, I started watching countless reviews on TH-cam. I saw everyone complaining about the bugs on Twitter, and even noticed a few myself. I realised that, despite me loving this game, it hadn't come anywhere close to its potential. It had stirred up hype for almost a decade, which I was unaware of. It let a lot of people down, and wasn't in a finished condition. I still love Cyberpunk 2077, but it wasn't released when it was "ready". I can't help but feel disappointed about what we could have had!

  • @deadjester
    @deadjester 3 ปีที่แล้ว +32

    Interesting watching this in November 2021. That road map got thrown out already.
    There needs to be much much more honesty with the fans and players on a number of points including:
    - A significant portion of the team that created Witcher's 1, 2 and 3 are largely no longer present at CDPR. Therefore a lot of the knowledge, capacity and capability to create compelling gameplay and well optimised software went with those people - a sort of corporate amnesia if you will.
    - Also the fact that CDPR currently have programmers and designers who don't seem to be up to the task of creating well optimised fast loading environments and involved branching missions and stories.
    - The reality of what is technically possible in regards machine capability of Consoles versus PCs - There is no way on earth that the hi-res ray-traced Cyberpunk world was achievable on console at the same level of details, object populations and texture resolution, loading and swapping as on high end PC's. The two platform campaigns and platform releases needed to be separate in order to separate expectations of a PC player from those on last gen Console.
    Also too much money/manpower time was invested in stretching the very top end graphics solutions rather than investing that money and therefore time in convincingly populating a genuine open world experience with genuine choices and a larger variety of character based missions based on your initial life choice of Corpo/Street/Nomad. e.g. Not doing anything at all to help Johnny should have been a choice too. Even if that did mean you slowly dying or living with permanent recurring blackout episodes at the end.
    Gangs and corporations should have had separate credibility/hostility meters so that areas could be friendly, neutral or hostile depending on your interactions with ALL the gangs and the corporations.
    More needed to be made of Trauma Team - questlines that allow the player to join them OR go around frustrating their actions. Same with MaxTac. Too many basic ground floor choices that were missed and squandered.
    It does look lovely on a top end machine but some of the optimisations do seem to have actually reduced the visual quality of the game when compared to release. Even if they reintroduced SSR with 1.31.
    Ah well. Roll on 2022, maybe they will finally release something worthy of being called a gameplay DLC or expansion? Maybe they will release a next gen version that actually works. LOL.
