One look at Cyberpunk 2077 on PS4 and you can see why. It’s locked at 30fps, but the world is also completely empty. The NPCs and cars in the game at launch were fairly dull and predictable, disappearing or resetting as soon as you turned away and looked back, but the PS4 version seems to have removed all but the most essential ones entirely. It’s a ghost town, and regardless of my own thoughts on Cyberpunk 2077’s quality or themes, it’s clear that this is a shadow of the game it once was. Not even a shadow of its looming potential - the game seems to work on a basic ‘does not crash’ level, but aside from that it’s demonstrably worse than it was at launch. I’d love to hear an explanation for why it was finally deemed okay to sell now, when the game is so obviously not ready that it’s being sold with a warning that it’s not actually going to work on the console it is currently being sold for. The conspiracy theory that Sony is pissed CDPR left it carrying the can for refunds doesn’t ring true for me - if that was the case, I doubt it would be back on the store
The Monster Hunter series has really stepped up its character creator settings with each new title. Do you want to be a women with sideburns? Done. Do you want intense curls? Done. Afro, dreadlocks, and long luscious locks? This game has it
Final Fantasy is a game that loves hair design, and gives players many choices. However, there are severe limitations considering the popularity of the MMO and its huge fanbase. There is a need for more curly hair options, and many fans are annoyed that some hairstyles cannot be used for certain races. Recent race additions like Viera and Hrothgar particularly have limited choi
When Cyberpunk 2077 does work, it works very well, and it's a fun experience. There's a lot to be done in order to make it feel like the true, definitive version of the hyped E3 title that whipped fans into such a frenzy, but balancing out the gameplay elements is a nice st
Cyberpunk 2077, the biggest cautionary tale in modern gaming, is officially back on the PS Store. It kind of feels like that Spongebob meme - you know, that one and only meme from Spongebob - where some guy finds Patrick’s wallet, only Patrick insists it’s not his. Well, Patrick is CDPR , the driving license is Cyberpunk 2077 , the wallet is a standard PS4, and that blue guy is all of us. Aren’t memes even funnier when someone describes them badly instead of using a meme generator site? What’s that? No?! Well, screw you pal. The point is Cyberpunk 2077 is once more available on PS4 , except it’s not rea
Though it might not be one of the worst games in the cyberpunk genre , Cyberpunk 2077 Guide 2077 had arguably the worst video game launch in history, but it isn’t the only one that has faced scrutiny upon release. Games developers tend to have really tight deadlines and employees can work 80 hour weeks when it comes to crunch time, but that’s still not necessarily enough to treat all of the b
Cyberpunk 2077 is back in gaming news, specifically because of more controversy regarding how much of a mess it turned out to be on last-gen consoles . It was so bad, in fact, that Sony pulled it from the PlayStation Store until CD Projekt Red managed to cobble together a series of fixes. It's back up, but the controversy hasn't gone away, as the developer has overtly stated that major issues still pers
Upon entering the game for the first time, there’s a bit of a learning curve. I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s super steep, but the interface can be a little overwhelming until you spend some time with it. There’s also often a vagueness in the narrative that takes some getting used to. However, I think this adds to the game’s immersive experience. You’re essentially a newcomer to the bordertown, tasked with somehow getting through the gate into Cincinnati. You’re not really given any direction and are left to figure things out on your own. This "picking yourself up by the bootstraps" experience forces you to be uncomfortable and confused at first, but eventually pays off as you learn the nuances of the g
While Cyberpunk 2077 is back on the PS Store, we’re being advised not to buy it on PS4. I don’t mean that someone has done a tech analysis and concluded that it runs a bit worse on PS4 than, say, Xbox - I mean we’re literally being told ‘don’t buy it on PS4,’ by both CD Projekt Red itself and PlayStation. Instead, both recommend using the juicier PS4 Pro, or just straight up using a PS5. It’s worth noting that the game is not out on PS5 - the PS4 version is compatible, but the PS5 version of the game, along with the Xbox Series X/S versions, is still in the works on top of the game’s still ongoing bug fixes and DLC. Thanks to the problems at launch, we still don’t know when any of this stuff is going to arr
There was a lot to be upset about when it came to 2015’s Battlefront , EA’s remake of the beloved original game from 10 years beforehand, as many felt that it was essentially a $60 arcade shooter with little variety in gamep
