Here's an interesting comment from Polish game developer (not working for CDPR), sorry for shitty translation:
>After 2 hours of playing cyberpunk, I can say one thing. It won't be easy to fix it >Instead of betting on algorithms, they defined everything manually. Instead of giving the rod to the NPCs, they gave them a fish - a ready-made diagram. The NPCs only perform a predefined procedure. >For example, obstacles in cutscenes. In GTA, the characters were programmed in a different way. The character's algorithm decided on its own to choose the path to avoid obstacles. The game analyzed the shortest path to point B. In case of cyberpunk, everything is coded. Is there an object on the encoded path? Let's hide this object for the NPC to pass. >It also shows in NPC driving. The algorithm does not recognize the road, the NPCs drive along a hidden line. If there is an obstacle, they just stop and that's it - the line is blocked and they are not going any further. >I think there were 2 groups creating the game. One group were engine makers with a common sense. And the second group were interns who made the game with the engine, but couldn't really use it. >This game is one big hardcoding, shit. The game is broken at the very base.
Do Polish gamers/journalists say anything about dildos, trannies and other SJW stuff in this game?
Anthony Lopez
Tbh I didn't see many Polish reviews, but I doubt any of them gives a fuck about that.
Adrian Hall
Nobody actually gives a shit so no
Daniel Moore
It was the same in Witcher 3, everything was totally static and predefined with very little chance of emergent gameplay.
They should have been aware of their limitations and made some kind of Vampire The Masqarade game instead of GTA
Hudson Jones
>Nobody actually gives a shit
Why? Has Poland reached the same level of progressiveness as Sweden?
Austin Gutierrez
based poles caring about actually interesting aspects of the game
Jeremiah Rodriguez
Kek, you overdosed Zig Forums if you think Poland is some kind of trad heaven.
SJW shit doesn't shock anyone here, especially in popular media. Remember that CDPR devs were playing original tabletop Cyberpunk back in 90s, thats how they got idea of creating the game in the first place.
Julian Reed
itt talking out of your ass
Samuel Turner
No, they just have functioning brains with an iq over room temperature, and can grasp the fact that one tranny a bad game does not make.
Mason Russell
Why the fuck would they do that? How did the company that somehow programmed the witcher 2 to run so well despite the absurd graphics managed to do a design that's so retarded? This makes sense with what I've seen so far but it's one of the most retarded things I have ever seen.
Xavier Adams
>Make a game that is universally praised. >Make your next game the same way.
Imagine my shock that they didn't abandon the approach they took to Witcher 3 to copy the game mechanics of other, less successful, games.
I don't know what to say to anyone who wasn't expecting futuristic Witcher 3.
Jose Ortiz
>How did the company that somehow programmed the witcher 2 to run so well despite the absurd graphics managed to do a design that's so retarded?
Except Witcher 3 isn't a futuristic city with traffic and NPCs that you an kill, run over and that react to you in any other way other than flailing their arms around when you draw a sword.
They lacked the ability to make the open world natural and the foresight that it would be almost impossible to "brute force" this type of game without it appearing broken
Cooper Powell
Yeah, why would you invest 180 Mio. into some interns instead of top-notch game developers? Are they kinda retarded? Probably some marketing managers cashing in on this. Fucking clusterfuck of co-operation. Should have created a sub-layer like Rockstar did to separate Amateur Development from Professional. Game Devs are mostly futa riding highschool drop outs which don't understand basic algorithms and datastructers.
Isaiah Fisher
I love all of the reddit chimps slinging "IT NEEDED MORE DELAYS" over all of the bugs. The game is fundamentally broken on a framework level, and it may have never been on the right track even as a concept. You could delay this game for another 10 years and the only thing that would fix it is scrapping the whole fucking thing and starting over from scratch with the engine.
Xavier Walker
I was only interested in cultural differences and perception of such things amond modern Poles. When Afghanistan starts making games in 2077 and inserting Bacha Bazi pedofilia everywhere, I'll write the same thing to you, nigger.
Jacob Murphy
Ironically Witcher 1 was pretty advanced and impressive for a small scale single player RPG, Dragon Age for example which came two years later didn't even do half the things Witcher 1 did like day/night cycles, weather changes, NPCs reacting to weather and taking shelter in the rain and main characters with life cycles and routes.
Jonathan Peterson
The graphics were an improvement, literally some of the best graphics for the time and they ran on a toaster. The gameplay was shit and the story was mediocre. Witcher 2 was the moment when I knew CDPR was gonna go down the bioware route.

>Probably some marketing managers cashing in on this Have you stepped foot outside of Zig Forums in the past year? You literally cannot visit any site on the internet without CP2077 articles, banner ads, commercials, etc. They spent metric shittons of money on marketing gimmicks like actors and youtube "influencers". This is easily the most mass-marketed game in history.
Noah Nguyen
I seem to remember because they tried to supersample it at the maximum level which of course meant running the game at 4K or something like that.
Carter Richardson
do you have more info from where that came from?
Adrian Thompson
Need a source on this OP.
David Sanders
invest in shazam coins now lads
Eli Lewis
are you retarded? The story was awful, FUCKING DRAGON AGE 2 managed to take into consideration more of your choices from your previous game than TW2, due to the third game, the second part of the story is made as irrelevant as mass effect 2. I say it's a mediocre story on it's own, taking it in context with the other games released at the time and considering the third game, it's retroactively made worse.
The gameplay was just garbage overall, they butchered the sword system where each sword you got on the first game had it's own identity, they did an atrocity with the alchemy system when they had pure perfection on the first game, it lacked mob variety, it lacked a proper functioning combat system and it definitely lacked a proper levelling system.
How the fuck they managed to fuck it up so bad after the first witcher game is beyond my comprehension.
