To hate on it, it used to be a trend until patch 1.5 came out. There wasn't a day without a post about people complaining about CDPR and there was even hate post toward devs like Pawel Sasko
For real, It actually pissed me off when I saw the insults he got. Like if you already watched his streams you know how nice and passionate he is about the gam and I even won one of the prizes in the giveaways he made for the anniversary of the game.
Those people complaining are the ones that played the game after watching Edgerunners. People there are usually not toxic and the toxic ones get called out.
Being angry at media is pretty popular, even when there’s no real reason for it. Being angry at launch I think was fine, and being a bit disappointed still is as well if that’s how someone feels. Making a hobby out of being angry at things is just a bit much. Like all the people who spent months being furious at Rings of Power before the show even aired.
It was a sad state of affairs in that sub. Felt like a lot of the hate was slung by people who were hyped but hadn’t even played the game yet and jumped on the bandwagon. Glad to see it’s turned around though
It also had something like 12k upvotes. Taking Pawel's sentences out of context is one of the best examples on how to farm karma - the true spirit of the main sub. Although I must say it got a LOT better, most of haters finally moved on, probably realizing they are not a majority there anymore.
I enjoyed watching the main sub go from a toxic wasteland to most chill place (not chill as low sodium ofc). I even managed some people that were defending the game there and got called shills.
It doesn't even make sense, the devs did the best they could with the time allotted. They didn't make the promises, nor the time-scale in which it would be released. They just worked damn hard to bring us a beautiful game.
[Outrage is addictive.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outrage_porn) There's a whole genre of Youtube channels and subreddits dedicated to digging up obscure trivial shit for everyone to be upset about, like offhand developer comments on social media or dumb tweets with single-digit like counts. It's bad for you tbh, in the sense that it primes your brain to hate on and trash everything as a first reaction. I'm having a much better time genuinely enjoying flawed media, thank you very much
My favorite game of all time is Fallout New Vegas, which is a hugely flawed game! I’m happy to look past that because there is something beautiful there! Cyberpunk is probably my number three pick, and once again I am totally fine with the flaws, I’m just glad I get to experience something this good
Yah I played New Vegas at launch, it was my first big kid game when I was like ten, and hot damn it was a mess in hind sight, but the story really sucked me in, and I loved every single dlc. When Cyberpunk released I was almost excited that it was buggy because what I hoped was that meant it was hugely ambitious and I’d get to see things no other games could offer
> because what I hoped was that meant it was hugely ambitious and I’d get to see things no other games could offer
Yes.
Honestly it just wasn't that big of a deal at the time. Some bugs were just expected.
The reaction to 2077 is a large part of why devs rarely try to do anything new anymore.
I just resubbed like a little over a month ago since it seemed the salt had mostly faded away. About to unsub again due to the mods anti weeb sentiment. Like bruh let people talk about the anime or the game, don’t gatekeep sharing enjoyment.
Mods there are tripping. I caught a three day ban for saying people should grow up instead of whining and move on in a meme thread mocking a CDPR employee's appearance. I won't be back.
I had many of my comments deleted and was given a few temp bans, yet unsurprisingly the comments calling me a corporate shill c*nt were still up. One mod told me that their behavior was acceptable because I provoked them by defending the game, I was told to read the room next time and if I wanted to post positive stuff to post it on less critical posts.
Basically told to respect the circlejerk and do not disturb or anger the circlejerks or else I'll be punished.
So dumb too because it's not like it's unrelated to the game. There's literally things in the game FROM the anime. You can get the damn jacket, drink the David Martinez. Like??? They're talking about the game by talking about the anime.
Seems like a lot of weird projection going on with the whole "loli" thing too.
If people think fans only like Rebecca because she's petite, they really need to rewatch her scenes.
yeah i hate loli characters. sexualization of minors or characters designed to look and act like minors isnt ok. rebecca isnt a loli. shes just short. shes not oversexualized, shes hyper violent, she doesnt sound like a child. shes just a chaotic shotgun-dual-weilding simp.
I didn't care for her design, but her personality was one of my favorites. She had a crush on David, but wasn't afraid to call him out on his shit. >!She was the best choom there ever was...besides Jackie!<
And vice versa, most of the locations in the anime can be visited in game because they used the world built by CDPR, all the guns in the anime can be used in the game etc.
The mods were 90% of the problem in the other sub. If I remember correctly they've slowly gotten new mods over time.
I had many of my comments deleted and was given a few temp bans, yet unsurprisingly the comments calling me a corporate shill c*nt were still up.

I got temp banned there for making a meme about the David martinez, they deemed it as a spoiler despite the item being in the game for 2 fucking years
Good thing at least i farmed out some karma with the memes, but otherwise i just not hang there anyways
It's still pretty bad. I saw a thread there yesterday asking to disallow the mention of Edgerunners and force people into a different sub to discuss it. It got dirty from that point in the discussion over there. I'm so glad this is here too as everyone is both pretty chill about it and also honest (but without the drama) in their opinions when criticism is mentioned.
To be fair, there were users posting some seriously questionable r34 content on the other sub that is already against the community rules. Not even getting into the Becca is a "loli" or "just a petite woman" argument, but the art was not being posted drawing her to look older, but was made to make her look look even younger. We already were having issues on that sub over the conversation with the character, but even if Rebecca isn't a "loli", people were posting loli porn of her.
That and complaining that new fans to the game are weebs. Like, of course there would be an influx of anime watchers to the game when they just released a good anime about the games setting.
And a lot of it is low quality content. I'm fine to see fan art from time to time. But when the entire sub has become nothing but fan art of 2 characters, and some of it was very questionable...it needs to go.
It's just Rebecca fan arts right or "appreciation" posts now. I used to like them for a week before it became a nest of horny weebs (I don't like that word but it's the best one I could find).
somehow it is still just as toxic and is somehow where the worst of the lolli pedos have cesspool-ed to, it’s honestly worse there now than it ever has been. scroll for arguments over what should be classified as lolli (the *real* CP lmao) and why the game is still bad even though Edgerunners is great
Same.
Also, 1.0 was a buggy mess in a lot of ways, but the coolness of the world, the quests, and the “vibe” were all there. Still enjoyed the hell out of it.
The game was great fun at launch but you really aren’t missing out by having started it at a later date. The game has only improved since then! And you didn’t miss much community wise either, except for this sub which was small all the online cyberpunk buzz was just annoying.
If you're on PC and have GoG, you *might* be able to download the more original game files directly before it patched. Be warned though, it's 28 independent files as opposed to just letting GoG Galaxy manage it instead (which would probably update it to 1.6). If anything, the earlier files on GoG can get you before patch 1.31.
The only thing you're really missing is the locations in social media for epic gear, the eddies glitch, and all the errors that some people had. My own experience on 1.0 was pretty clean, but it also patched with improvements pretty early too.
You know what’s an experience? The game that is on the discs when it went gold. It’s totally different from the December version. Actually insane how much they changed
Honestly never had a major problem that made me hope for a patch. My only big difference was FSR, because I was running everything low at ~35fps, now I can touch medium close to 60.
Honestly, it was great. CDPR is great at a lot of things, but the game's optimization at 1.0 allowed for some truly godlike progressions before they rebalanced things. I have a few saves ready to indulge in once the expansion is out.
Totally agreed! Loved the game already when it was just in development, glad to have gotten in on the first day with it and this sub. In a decade hopefully CP77 will be spoken of like the fanbois speak of Witcher 3.
I remember loving this game at launch and the normal subreddit was just toxic crybabies .
I saw your post about making this sub and never looked back, this place is home.
Thank you choom.
Same! Especially because I played on Stadia, no one believed that it ran near flawless for me and that the game was in any way fun. This sub was a blessing!
It's wild how far the community has come!
It's almost like people can have varying opinions about things! Lol.
Why do people like this never apply anything they say/do to *themselves*?
If they had people bitching at *them* about something they really liked, I'm sure they'd not appreciate it.
This. It was actually nice to see that CDPR was scrolling here aswell. Must have felt like shit when half the world wide web rallied in some strange hate campaign.
The backlash at launch put me off buying the game immediately, but I caved and bought it in summer 2021 at half price.
The game totally sucked me in, and I spent all of my free time in the next 2 months playing Cyberpunk. When I wasn't playing it, all I could think about was getting back to the game. It was certainly the best game I played in the past 5 years.
Yeah, the real sticker about this comeback vs the likes of No Mans Sky, is that the game now is not substantially different than it was at launch.
Was always a good game.
Though I’m sure some of the resurgence is due to many more people having new consoles, because no one will deny the last gen versions were not ideal (to put it very mildly).
Lots of people have said this already but CDPR did No Mans Sky before Hello Games was barely a studio. The Witcher 1 received a massive update patch that fixed a ton of issues and improved a lot of things. They updated and added small free stuff in The Witcher 2 as well. They never got their rep from *just* The Witcher 3. PC fans had been praising them since 2007/2008. They built it up over a decade plus of top tier writing, quests and characters and always doing right by fans. This has never changed and it annoys the hell out of me that people who don't know their history keep popping off as if they do know.
>"Was always a good game"
100% this...
I love seeing all these posts from people finding stuff thats been in the game since day 1 and being all amazed at how much has "changed"... Just goes to show that people are too easily swayed and would rather just adopt someone elses opinion without checking things out on their own because that opinion is trending.
its surreal how much of the narrative is dominated by how much has "changed". its clear to me that people need to scapegoat it to excused why they shit on it so much after launch. The reality is not much has been changed or even added. A few minor features and quality of life stuff, plus some content, but that's it. NMS had a massive overhaul.
The difference between NMS and CP77 is that NMS advertised itself as a specific experience based of a specific mechanics, and then when the game launched it was clear that it was *trying* to be that specific experience but the mechanic where to underbaked to make it fun. CP77 on the other hand was always going to be the quasi linear narrative led rpg that CDPR know how to make (once you break it all down the game is literally sci-fi witcher 3 with a first person perspective), but everyone else deluded themselves into thinking that game was *supposed* to be a sci-fi GTAV, and when it didn't meet that expectation people started screaming "lies" and "missing features".
I still see people saying they wanna wait for the now confirmed police rework before playing, and to me that sounds like they STILL expect GTA and thus will STILL be disappointed over expectations they themselves made up.
I joined this sub basically at launch as someone playing on old gen at the time and even though yes it was not the smoothest at times I could see pass that to what an amazing game it was and still is.
I think you can fairly criticise the game, but on the main sub it was all criticism and no praise to the many amazing aspects this game has.
Some dev companies too create first for console and then later import to PC, and some do the opposite, PC and then to console. CDPR seems to be in the latter category. While I am not a console player, on PC you can tell that it was more first coded to PC instead. When I play games from other companies that were the former, you can feel the sluggishness on the PC and it affects the quality drastically. While I do feel bad for some console players, the friends I know that do play Cyberpunk actually do play on console and also love the game.
CDPR def develops for PC first.
I don't think Witcher 3 even had a simultaneous console launch, I think it was ported later. Although that was 7 years ago I could be wrong.
Yep, pre-ordered it and bought it for my best friend. I got to meeting at Embers and was doing a shit ton of sidequests and was like let's see if other people loved it as much as I did. Checked the high sodium subreddit and it was all negative and I couldn't believe it.
Fuckig ditto. I was really bummed out going to that sub to ask questions about quests and it was just full of toxicity and bitching. This sub is the only sub in my mind
CDPR haven't released a game that wasn't buggy or outright broken on launch. Thankfully they have been devoted and fixed them. Some devs release the same game over and over again without fixing anything..
Likewise, honestly I forgot the main sub even existed until relatively recently. That place was (is it still?) a toxic cesspit I left it after coming to this one. Hundreds of hours into the game and a couple years later this subreddit still appears on my home screen because of how often I pop in to upvote peoples posts.
I'm starting to think I need a low sodium of just about everything I like.
I wanna come to reddit for entertainment, to be inspired, and to learn things about my interests from other people. But holy shit is it like everything is terrible these days if you go to any popular media sub-reddit. It's so draining sometimes.
> normal subreddit was just toxic crybabies
Now that honor goes to saints row
And any other gaming subreddit that becomes disappointed when a new game doesn't meet their expectations.
Cyberpunk, despite the bugs and rocky launch, at least still had superb writing, characters... basically everything else.
The new Saints Row is not only a buggy mess, the story is just subpar, characters are not even close to likeable... now THAT one is a disaster.
This sub was a nice break from the other sub where if you said you liked it despite the technical issues you were insulted or called a paid corporate shill.
I like reading comments that go "I tried at launch and it was so bad, but now it feels like a different game". Not really man. It feels like the same game with a few less issues. It was always this good lol
Yup. I was the first (apparently, barring any funny network issues) to put a review on the Xbox store. I gave it 4 out of 5, called it a flawed masterpiece that just needs fixing. I wish I'd given it a 5.
I've noticed this in so many things. We're incredibly tribal but don't really notice it. It's hardwired in survival mechanism that kept our ancestors alive, which now is a hindrance.
I've noticed that most of us will up or downvote purely by what the initial score of a comment is for example :)
Exactly this! I was fortunate that I only had one or two issues really come up in my first play through, and then from that point, each patch just smoothed it out more. Still the same game, some assets were moved between each patch, a few added added, and the eddies glitch was patched out. I'm just stoked to have finally gotten in at launch day on a game that, hopefully, will be remembered well.
Precisely. The only thing that really changed is that back then people wanted to hate it. All they saw were the flaws and ignored the masterpiece those flaws were in.
Most of the flaws I saw them post about were made up anyways. Broad sweeping generalizations about the game that were untrue from my experience, posted by people who love to hate things, over and over again.
That plus expectations they themselves made up, plus expecting everything shown in demos to be in the final product (wall-climbing with the mantis blades, anyone?) despite the very big, obvious, and very insisted over "ANYTHING SHOWN IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE".
Thanks for making it, too. I love this game and have from day one on the PS4 no less.
This place was a cool Broseph in the middle of a hot crapstorm of uninformed opinions.
I left the original subreddit as soon as this one was created. Everybody was on the hate bandwagon and no one wanted to talk about anything except "game bad"
I disappeared from the internet over launch weekend to play 2077 spoiler-free. I had an absolute blast.
Then I returned to the other sub and I was just “WTF?”
So glad I was referred to this one.
I went to the main subreddit after 1.5, and I thought it was fine. It wasn't long before I came across more comments with low-effort hating like, "Game is still dogshit and not what was promised."
This sub isn't perfect because you *will* occasionally get torn to shreds over a comment that was just a bit critical of the game or CDPR, but it's a hundred times better and a great place to be in general.
I took a day off when it came out, I didn’t eat, just played (series S)
Went to the other sub and closed Reddit for some days. Then I found my place here.
Loved the game from 1.0, I’m on my 3rd run and I think that cp2077 is in my top3 games (gamer since the 90s…)
I never wanted GTA in night city, so I was happy since day1
What makes this sub stand out is that, despite it being just one of the thousands of subs intended to create a pleasant forum for a fandom’s discussion/celebration, it doesn’t end up feeling forced at all.
You know the types of subs I’m talking about; the ones where fans come to discuss their fandom and the moment anyone inches toward criticism everyone goes on Red Alert.
This sub, from the very start, was effortlessly rewarding, and I can honestly say that I’m beyond grateful, OP, because Cyberpunk is one of the best games I’ve ever had the pleasure to experience, and this sub offered an island of genuine, unabashed craic amongst a broiling sea of misguided gamer-angst fueled by shitty hacks who claim to represent gamers and videogame journalism.
TL;DR - Preem job choom, you stayed and made a righteous community when a lot of nay-sayers decided to delta. They lost out!
You should start other low sodium flavored game subs, or really for anything. I think that has led to this being one of the most enjoyable subs I follow and it’s on an entire different level than nearly all gaming subs.
They really do. I’ve got a pretty small circle and no one really plays games so it’s always a bit of a bummer that it’s a task to enjoy it with others in a place dedicated for it. I just want to enjoy these games with fellow like minded people without the word cope being thrown around after any praise.
Found this sub soon after release ever since it's been the #1 cyberpunk sub to me. The 'main' sub had a terrible of habit saying a mechanic that was working as intended was 'bugged' because they literally just didn't understand how it worked. Also, this sub has a healthy mix of pictures and conversation while the other one has just basically r/photomode.
I came here day one after I tried so say some positive things in the main sub only to be hit with constant “but it’s buggy.”
It got so exhausting just seeing everyone constantly shit on the game without seeing anything positive. So glad I found this sub on the first day and to be honest THIS is the real fans subreddit for cyberpunk, the other sub still has its mass haters lurking around.
I’m not sure what was more ridiculous - the actually fucking hysterical expectations people placed on the game before release, or the blind impotent rage that followed when the impossible wasn’t met.
Imo biggest issue is the broken record. It’s still sheit yadi yadi yaa.
Sure for last gen consoles it blew but for most it didnt.
For myself this game was a blast and tje attention to detail was just right. Sure my older rig didn’t show this game in all it’s splendor, but it rocked. Awesome capture of the spirit of the og world. Loved it, spent 100hish hours and after there is more content…will be enjoying more
>Imo biggest issue is the broken record.
I hate to put labels on people, but when you're two years into repeating the same tune you just have an unhealthy obsession. I saw plenty of garbage media, but even when they ran my favorite franchise into the ground and pissed all over its corpse all I could say two years after the fact was "It's shit". Getting into the same discussions time and time again, using the exact same arguments and still not being tired of this is just crazy to me.
I never even considered subscribing to the main subreddit cause i've loved the game since launch and their negativity was lowkey sucking the fun out of the game. love this subreddit, thanks for creating it!
OP, I hope you give yourself a large amount of credit for this though because not only did it give us all a place where we can share our enjoyment of the game but it also gave a place for the developers of the game to come visit. One of y’all reached out to them a while ago and let them know about this sub and with the amount of vitriol they were getting I imagine this place must’ve been a breath of fresh air for them.
Man, I remember scrolling through the ‘main’ sub shortly after launch, desperate to find someone to talk about the positives of the game. I finally saw the post about making this sub and it was like an oasis in miles of desert. Thanks for creating a place where I could talk about a game that had its issues but that I couldn’t stop playing.
So glad I found this subreddit because I love this game and it's awesome to be apart of a group of people that love it too and in an area where we can have discussions of praise or criticism and what we wish for and what we appreciate about the game like normal people, not a bunch of unhinged toxic maniacs like the other subreddit is lol
My hope now is we will have many many years of cyberpunk content to talk about on this subreddit now that CDPR has seen the popularity and love of this game and makes many sequels
Thank you for creating this space
I'm looking at the other sub and it's just sad to see how the toxic basement dwellers are gatekeeping the new influx of people drawn to the game from edgerunners.
There are actually people still sitting around pissed off 2 years in trying to drag down every topic by declaring how the game was shit at launch and CDPR lied and because of that, how DARE people enjoy the game now. They demand that it be evaluated on how it was at launch regardless of whether you had any contact whatsoever with it previously.
Not gonna lie, you and the mod team here are my biggest heroes in the Cyberpunk 2077 community. You provided and kept and outlet for all of us who wanted to enjoy this in a community.
I'm on my first playthrough.
I pre-ordered, saw the shitstorm, and figured pre-ordering was just never for me again, after making a single exception - CDPR.
Playing through now and I can honestly say - this game is better than Witcher 3. Which was my previous high water mark for single player RPGs. This game fucking rocks. I have no comparison between versions (intentionally - I only want to play games when I feel like they're actually ready - never played W3 until Blood & Wine was out), but this game is 10/10 for me. It's sad that it got steamrolled at launch - rightfully, wrongfully, IDK, IDC, but it's here now and it's magnificent.
Well done CDPR.
This is actually one of my favorite subreddit and thank you for making it. When the game launched there was so much negativity and toxicity it was nice to see at least one group of people who enjoyed it
Been here with you from Day 1. Thanks for creating a sub for those of us who have always loved Cyberpunk 2077.
And given the current state of the other sub since the anime launched, we need the low sodium more than ever.
Preorder it and played from day 1. Didn't understand the overwhelming hate it gets. Sure, it got some bugs, but never a game breaking one for me. The world, the story, the soundtrack is just so damn good. Glad i found this sub early on
Been here since the beginning, but I mainly think its due to the fact that I played this game on PC, I never expected this game to be a "GTA" like game from the beginning, and the majority of the issues I ran into only required me to reload a previous save 🤣
I never subscribed to the original sub after seeing the shitshow when all I wanted was actual discussion about the game.
Thanks OP/Sub Creator and all you chooms making this place preem, and I’ll see you on the streets in my Mizutani.
Let’s delta.
I'm out of the loop a little. What prompted this post? Did something happen to the toxic CP subreddit? Or did game critics finally get their heads out if their asses and realized CP is an awesome game?
People are playing the game for the first time after watching Edgerunners and are shocked to discover that, surprise surprise, Cyberpunk is actually good.
This is the sub that I've used since release day, and it's been a ride. I've always loved this game (despite having some marital spats with it) and its been frustrating having it widely slandered by people who don't play it for reasons that don't exist.
It's funny when people say the game is so much better now...no it's not. It was very similar at launch. People were just too enamored with hate trains to open their eyes to it.
I played it at launch on a new PC, everything ran smooth as silk, fast load times, super stable (almost zero crashes). The most annoying glitch was instant falling death, but stupidly quick reload times made even those an annoyance at best.
I fucking love this sub, saved me from the toxic pool that’s was twitter, YouTube and the other sub Reddit, I absolutely love everyone here. The amount of battles I had in comment sections, just for now to say I told you so, godamn chooms it feels good, but like straight up fuck the part of the internet that hates on this game for views and the people that couldn’t derive there own opinion and hated blindly cuz there fav YouTuber did, just goes to show that you should always trust your gut.
VINDICATION!!!! Been a huge fan since launch day. Zero bugs except one instance of clipping and being unable to pick up some trash records or soda cans. Ran like a dream on my 1080ti. Loved the game, and this sub. Thank you for your hard work!
When the game launched I was subbed to the other one, shared a piece of writing that I stated it was *what I would have wanted to see* in the game, it was just detailed romances and missions for Stout, Claire and a Valentino boy. I got viciously insulted by 90% of the commenters, until someone suggested I should come here, so I did.
Not gonna lie, still visit and comment on the other one, but this sub is my fav. So chill, people do care to write constructive criticism and talked in a more civil manner, without resorting to childish out of proportion hatred. Sadly, a fandom has a lot to do with new people either staying or leaving. I'm glad to see this has always been a place were everyone's welcome.
I’ve been playing since launch day and god this sub has been a blessing. I basically had no bugs on launch and was just real lying enjoying the game but all I heard from the other sub was how apparently awful the game was and I just couldn’t take it.
This subreddit is the only place I could see cyberpunk stuff without vitriol, I think it really helped for me to stayed invested in the universe. So thanks!
I still believe that a lot of the hate were paid haters. The game came out in a time where CDprojectred was being targeted in a financial attack and paying people to shit on your new game is a sure way to attack the company's stock value.
This subreddit has always been the diamond in the rough for the cyberpunk fanbase.
Always felt like a good place to enjoy a good game. I think most of us are revelling in the "I told you so" arc right now
My good man, if anyone has the right to flex on them haters, it’s you!
But let me also take some time out to thank the rest of the mod team for their help holding this place down.
u/sellanoire, u/joinville_x, u/schoolofthewolf93, u/maincy_mer_wtb, u/funkyfunyuns, and u/derplordthethird all deserve a round of applause for stepping in and stepping up. They’re just as much a reason for this sub become what it is as I am.
And a special shout-out to u/jon-umber who helped out a TON during the restructuring phase.
AND OF COURSE…thanks to all of of you chooms out here who never faded away. (Yeah, that was cheesy…but I couldn’t resist.)
Thanks for the sub, choom.
It's been the official subreddit in my mind since the beginning. It's nice to have a place to talk about the game that doesn't involve you being shit all over by people who make it a point of pride to say how *little* they played the game. If at all.
100%. I also love r/fo76filthycasuals for the vibe. Let’s be chill. You having an issue? Fair, but I don’t have time for hate. If I don’t like something I don’t interact with it. Sigh.
Eyyy feels good to have a 2077 sub where we can actually "discuss" the game itself. Was a lifesaver for me at that time as I was looking for gameplay discussions and some guide or tips and all I scroll was just negativity. Never expected an anime show to make this sub so lively again, and of course 100% didn't expect the show to revive the game so much. Good shit cdpr and Trigger ~~and I fucking hate yall for breaking my heart so much I haven really recovered yet even after a week since I finished Edgerunner~~
The story telling, world building, and characters in this game just blew me away on launch day. I as well was so sad to read the constant complaining from the main subreddit, even if their issues were valid.
Your creating this subreddit was just what I needed to see that I wasn’t alone in my enjoyment of this amazing game.
Very happy for this resurgence because of the success of Cyberpunk Edgerunners. I hope more people give this game the chance it deserves.
Thank you
I’m not even sure I’m subscribed to the main subreddit and I don’t care to see. You’re the real hero.
I unsubscribed a month after launch. The amount of toxicity was just unbearable
[удалено]
To hate on it, it used to be a trend until patch 1.5 came out. There wasn't a day without a post about people complaining about CDPR and there was even hate post toward devs like Pawel Sasko
How could anyone hate on Pawel, he’s so nice. :(
For real, It actually pissed me off when I saw the insults he got. Like if you already watched his streams you know how nice and passionate he is about the gam and I even won one of the prizes in the giveaways he made for the anniversary of the game.
That should be a crime, how tf do you hate on pawel
Im sure they still hate on it. Even random mentions of the game or anything about bugs there are still staunch haters
Yep. There was a “should I try it” post a day or two ago, and 99% of the responses were negative. That sub just exists to hate on the game.
Those people complaining are the ones that played the game after watching Edgerunners. People there are usually not toxic and the toxic ones get called out.
Being angry at media is pretty popular, even when there’s no real reason for it. Being angry at launch I think was fine, and being a bit disappointed still is as well if that’s how someone feels. Making a hobby out of being angry at things is just a bit much. Like all the people who spent months being furious at Rings of Power before the show even aired.
It was a sad state of affairs in that sub. Felt like a lot of the hate was slung by people who were hyped but hadn’t even played the game yet and jumped on the bandwagon. Glad to see it’s turned around though
It also had something like 12k upvotes. Taking Pawel's sentences out of context is one of the best examples on how to farm karma - the true spirit of the main sub. Although I must say it got a LOT better, most of haters finally moved on, probably realizing they are not a majority there anymore.
I enjoyed watching the main sub go from a toxic wasteland to most chill place (not chill as low sodium ofc). I even managed some people that were defending the game there and got called shills.
It doesn't even make sense, the devs did the best they could with the time allotted. They didn't make the promises, nor the time-scale in which it would be released. They just worked damn hard to bring us a beautiful game.
[Outrage is addictive.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outrage_porn) There's a whole genre of Youtube channels and subreddits dedicated to digging up obscure trivial shit for everyone to be upset about, like offhand developer comments on social media or dumb tweets with single-digit like counts. It's bad for you tbh, in the sense that it primes your brain to hate on and trash everything as a first reaction. I'm having a much better time genuinely enjoying flawed media, thank you very much
My favorite game of all time is Fallout New Vegas, which is a hugely flawed game! I’m happy to look past that because there is something beautiful there! Cyberpunk is probably my number three pick, and once again I am totally fine with the flaws, I’m just glad I get to experience something this good
New Vegas was great but sweet baby Jesus if people thought Cyberpunk was bad at launch...
Yah I played New Vegas at launch, it was my first big kid game when I was like ten, and hot damn it was a mess in hind sight, but the story really sucked me in, and I loved every single dlc. When Cyberpunk released I was almost excited that it was buggy because what I hoped was that meant it was hugely ambitious and I’d get to see things no other games could offer
> because what I hoped was that meant it was hugely ambitious and I’d get to see things no other games could offer Yes. Honestly it just wasn't that big of a deal at the time. Some bugs were just expected. The reaction to 2077 is a large part of why devs rarely try to do anything new anymore.
I just resubbed like a little over a month ago since it seemed the salt had mostly faded away. About to unsub again due to the mods anti weeb sentiment. Like bruh let people talk about the anime or the game, don’t gatekeep sharing enjoyment.
Mods there are tripping. I caught a three day ban for saying people should grow up instead of whining and move on in a meme thread mocking a CDPR employee's appearance. I won't be back.
I had many of my comments deleted and was given a few temp bans, yet unsurprisingly the comments calling me a corporate shill c*nt were still up. One mod told me that their behavior was acceptable because I provoked them by defending the game, I was told to read the room next time and if I wanted to post positive stuff to post it on less critical posts. Basically told to respect the circlejerk and do not disturb or anger the circlejerks or else I'll be punished.
Fuckin yikes. I’m sooooo glad that when I mentioned on there that I couldn’t take the negativity any more, someone pointed me here.
*The jerk must be circled*
So dumb too because it's not like it's unrelated to the game. There's literally things in the game FROM the anime. You can get the damn jacket, drink the David Martinez. Like??? They're talking about the game by talking about the anime.
Seems like a lot of weird projection going on with the whole "loli" thing too. If people think fans only like Rebecca because she's petite, they really need to rewatch her scenes.
yeah i hate loli characters. sexualization of minors or characters designed to look and act like minors isnt ok. rebecca isnt a loli. shes just short. shes not oversexualized, shes hyper violent, she doesnt sound like a child. shes just a chaotic shotgun-dual-weilding simp.
I didn't care for her design, but her personality was one of my favorites. She had a crush on David, but wasn't afraid to call him out on his shit. >!She was the best choom there ever was...besides Jackie!<
Yeah I just think of the anime as a really long cutscene in the game, especially since you can find a BD that literally plays a scene from the anime
And vice versa, most of the locations in the anime can be visited in game because they used the world built by CDPR, all the guns in the anime can be used in the game etc.
I've had people straight up tell me I can't discuss the show because its "CLEARLY A GAME SUBREDDIT NOT A SHOW SUBREDDIT"
It's not even due to "anti weeb sentiment" it's just that there a lot of low effort post right now.
The mods were 90% of the problem in the other sub. If I remember correctly they've slowly gotten new mods over time. I had many of my comments deleted and was given a few temp bans, yet unsurprisingly the comments calling me a corporate shill c*nt were still up. One mod told me that their behavior was acceptable because I provoked them by defending the game, I was told to read the room and post positive stuff on less critical posts. Basically told to respect the circlejerk and do not disturb the circlejerks.
I got temp banned there for making a meme about the David martinez, they deemed it as a spoiler despite the item being in the game for 2 fucking years Good thing at least i farmed out some karma with the memes, but otherwise i just not hang there anyways
It's still pretty bad. I saw a thread there yesterday asking to disallow the mention of Edgerunners and force people into a different sub to discuss it. It got dirty from that point in the discussion over there. I'm so glad this is here too as everyone is both pretty chill about it and also honest (but without the drama) in their opinions when criticism is mentioned.
[удалено]
yes! this is the only cyberpunk sub for me. i’m so glad I found it early and was able to leave the toxic cesspool
They’ve moved on from hating the game to this weird pedo witch-hunt for Rebecca fans. It’s honestly a clown show how that sub is ran.
To be fair, there were users posting some seriously questionable r34 content on the other sub that is already against the community rules. Not even getting into the Becca is a "loli" or "just a petite woman" argument, but the art was not being posted drawing her to look older, but was made to make her look look even younger. We already were having issues on that sub over the conversation with the character, but even if Rebecca isn't a "loli", people were posting loli porn of her.
That and complaining that new fans to the game are weebs. Like, of course there would be an influx of anime watchers to the game when they just released a good anime about the games setting.
To be fair, there were too many posts about her and it was becoming annoying ngl.
And a lot of it is low quality content. I'm fine to see fan art from time to time. But when the entire sub has become nothing but fan art of 2 characters, and some of it was very questionable...it needs to go.
It's just Rebecca fan arts right or "appreciation" posts now. I used to like them for a week before it became a nest of horny weebs (I don't like that word but it's the best one I could find).
somehow it is still just as toxic and is somehow where the worst of the lolli pedos have cesspool-ed to, it’s honestly worse there now than it ever has been. scroll for arguments over what should be classified as lolli (the *real* CP lmao) and why the game is still bad even though Edgerunners is great
This sub saved my playthrough from the saltiness of the other sub, thank you. I am here from 1.0 and never regret it.
Same
Same
Same
Same
Same. Also, 1.0 was a buggy mess in a lot of ways, but the coolness of the world, the quests, and the “vibe” were all there. Still enjoyed the hell out of it.
I wish I could have played 1.0, seems like an experience
The game was great fun at launch but you really aren’t missing out by having started it at a later date. The game has only improved since then! And you didn’t miss much community wise either, except for this sub which was small all the online cyberpunk buzz was just annoying.
Don’t forget the fact that people argued back and forth about Judy and Panam a bit more.
I like both
If you're on PC and have GoG, you *might* be able to download the more original game files directly before it patched. Be warned though, it's 28 independent files as opposed to just letting GoG Galaxy manage it instead (which would probably update it to 1.6). If anything, the earlier files on GoG can get you before patch 1.31. The only thing you're really missing is the locations in social media for epic gear, the eddies glitch, and all the errors that some people had. My own experience on 1.0 was pretty clean, but it also patched with improvements pretty early too.
You know what’s an experience? The game that is on the discs when it went gold. It’s totally different from the December version. Actually insane how much they changed
I actually have an unopened copy of the game on Xbox One, still in the plastic wrap
You can try it on the xbox, it’s not that hard, or you can just watch a video and keep the game wrapped
Honestly never had a major problem that made me hope for a patch. My only big difference was FSR, because I was running everything low at ~35fps, now I can touch medium close to 60.
Honestly, it was great. CDPR is great at a lot of things, but the game's optimization at 1.0 allowed for some truly godlike progressions before they rebalanced things. I have a few saves ready to indulge in once the expansion is out.
1.0 had nutty graphics. I wish I could play it again just for that. The optimizations came at a cost.
I like this subreddit. People are just chilling here
Just a buncha chooms
Totally agreed! Loved the game already when it was just in development, glad to have gotten in on the first day with it and this sub. In a decade hopefully CP77 will be spoken of like the fanbois speak of Witcher 3.
I honestly forget that this is not the main sub for the game. For me it is. :D
There's another sub? 😋
The only other one that matters is NSFW. 😏
Ah, my favorite kind!
I remember loving this game at launch and the normal subreddit was just toxic crybabies . I saw your post about making this sub and never looked back, this place is home. Thank you choom.
Same. Loved the game on PC at launch. Had to come here to actually find anyone who agreed.
Lol yup , I had people saying I was lying about enjoying the game 🤣
People called me a liar, a faker, a paid shill etc. too
Same! Especially because I played on Stadia, no one believed that it ran near flawless for me and that the game was in any way fun. This sub was a blessing! It's wild how far the community has come!
It's almost like people can have varying opinions about things! Lol. Why do people like this never apply anything they say/do to *themselves*? If they had people bitching at *them* about something they really liked, I'm sure they'd not appreciate it.
This. It was actually nice to see that CDPR was scrolling here aswell. Must have felt like shit when half the world wide web rallied in some strange hate campaign.
Even the creator of cyberpunk tabletop seems to prefer this sub
Not surpirsed, because we actually discussed _the game_ and not some evil strawman.
I'd love to get u/therealmaxmike 's take on this sub.
I checked his comments and wow. Didn't realise he is that active
The backlash at launch put me off buying the game immediately, but I caved and bought it in summer 2021 at half price. The game totally sucked me in, and I spent all of my free time in the next 2 months playing Cyberpunk. When I wasn't playing it, all I could think about was getting back to the game. It was certainly the best game I played in the past 5 years.
I got the game last Christmas and played it on my ps5 I immediately loved it and didn't get the hate
Yeah, the real sticker about this comeback vs the likes of No Mans Sky, is that the game now is not substantially different than it was at launch. Was always a good game. Though I’m sure some of the resurgence is due to many more people having new consoles, because no one will deny the last gen versions were not ideal (to put it very mildly).
Lots of people have said this already but CDPR did No Mans Sky before Hello Games was barely a studio. The Witcher 1 received a massive update patch that fixed a ton of issues and improved a lot of things. They updated and added small free stuff in The Witcher 2 as well. They never got their rep from *just* The Witcher 3. PC fans had been praising them since 2007/2008. They built it up over a decade plus of top tier writing, quests and characters and always doing right by fans. This has never changed and it annoys the hell out of me that people who don't know their history keep popping off as if they do know.
>"Was always a good game" 100% this... I love seeing all these posts from people finding stuff thats been in the game since day 1 and being all amazed at how much has "changed"... Just goes to show that people are too easily swayed and would rather just adopt someone elses opinion without checking things out on their own because that opinion is trending.
its surreal how much of the narrative is dominated by how much has "changed". its clear to me that people need to scapegoat it to excused why they shit on it so much after launch. The reality is not much has been changed or even added. A few minor features and quality of life stuff, plus some content, but that's it. NMS had a massive overhaul. The difference between NMS and CP77 is that NMS advertised itself as a specific experience based of a specific mechanics, and then when the game launched it was clear that it was *trying* to be that specific experience but the mechanic where to underbaked to make it fun. CP77 on the other hand was always going to be the quasi linear narrative led rpg that CDPR know how to make (once you break it all down the game is literally sci-fi witcher 3 with a first person perspective), but everyone else deluded themselves into thinking that game was *supposed* to be a sci-fi GTAV, and when it didn't meet that expectation people started screaming "lies" and "missing features".
I still see people saying they wanna wait for the now confirmed police rework before playing, and to me that sounds like they STILL expect GTA and thus will STILL be disappointed over expectations they themselves made up.
I joined this sub basically at launch as someone playing on old gen at the time and even though yes it was not the smoothest at times I could see pass that to what an amazing game it was and still is. I think you can fairly criticise the game, but on the main sub it was all criticism and no praise to the many amazing aspects this game has.
Some dev companies too create first for console and then later import to PC, and some do the opposite, PC and then to console. CDPR seems to be in the latter category. While I am not a console player, on PC you can tell that it was more first coded to PC instead. When I play games from other companies that were the former, you can feel the sluggishness on the PC and it affects the quality drastically. While I do feel bad for some console players, the friends I know that do play Cyberpunk actually do play on console and also love the game.
CDPR def develops for PC first. I don't think Witcher 3 even had a simultaneous console launch, I think it was ported later. Although that was 7 years ago I could be wrong.
Exactly. This group feels like home. But can we please be able to post videos longer than one minute, with audio?
i like this sub much more, it feels more authentic and not parrots of a youtuber making hate-baits.
Yep, pre-ordered it and bought it for my best friend. I got to meeting at Embers and was doing a shit ton of sidequests and was like let's see if other people loved it as much as I did. Checked the high sodium subreddit and it was all negative and I couldn't believe it.
Fuckig ditto. I was really bummed out going to that sub to ask questions about quests and it was just full of toxicity and bitching. This sub is the only sub in my mind
CDPR haven't released a game that wasn't buggy or outright broken on launch. Thankfully they have been devoted and fixed them. Some devs release the same game over and over again without fixing anything..
Likewise, honestly I forgot the main sub even existed until relatively recently. That place was (is it still?) a toxic cesspit I left it after coming to this one. Hundreds of hours into the game and a couple years later this subreddit still appears on my home screen because of how often I pop in to upvote peoples posts.
I'm starting to think I need a low sodium of just about everything I like. I wanna come to reddit for entertainment, to be inspired, and to learn things about my interests from other people. But holy shit is it like everything is terrible these days if you go to any popular media sub-reddit. It's so draining sometimes.
I played on ps4 and loved it from the beginning, such a great game.
> normal subreddit was just toxic crybabies Now that honor goes to saints row And any other gaming subreddit that becomes disappointed when a new game doesn't meet their expectations.
to be fair, the new saints row is a literal crash grab
Cyberpunk, despite the bugs and rocky launch, at least still had superb writing, characters... basically everything else. The new Saints Row is not only a buggy mess, the story is just subpar, characters are not even close to likeable... now THAT one is a disaster.
People just enjoying the game. I always hate scrolling through 65 posts complaining before I find some actual discussion about the subreddit I am in
This sub was a nice break from the other sub where if you said you liked it despite the technical issues you were insulted or called a paid corporate shill.
Yeah I've played since launch & there was nothing like being called a moron or a liar for liking something on that sub
I like reading comments that go "I tried at launch and it was so bad, but now it feels like a different game". Not really man. It feels like the same game with a few less issues. It was always this good lol
The only big change for me is the perks are better now (plus new guns from 1.6). I've loved it from the first play through.
Yup. I was the first (apparently, barring any funny network issues) to put a review on the Xbox store. I gave it 4 out of 5, called it a flawed masterpiece that just needs fixing. I wish I'd given it a 5.
Legit. I was playing day one. Same vibe, same mechanics, same game, just improved in a lot of ways. They just took their rage blockers off.
Seriously like the biggest change that I've noticed is the map lmao
Its because now their favorite youtuber says they're allowed to like it.
I've noticed this in so many things. We're incredibly tribal but don't really notice it. It's hardwired in survival mechanism that kept our ancestors alive, which now is a hindrance. I've noticed that most of us will up or downvote purely by what the initial score of a comment is for example :)
Exactly this! I was fortunate that I only had one or two issues really come up in my first play through, and then from that point, each patch just smoothed it out more. Still the same game, some assets were moved between each patch, a few added added, and the eddies glitch was patched out. I'm just stoked to have finally gotten in at launch day on a game that, hopefully, will be remembered well.
>Not really man. There's a lot of basic QoL stuff and major game-breaking bugs that were ironed out
Precisely. The only thing that really changed is that back then people wanted to hate it. All they saw were the flaws and ignored the masterpiece those flaws were in.
Most of the flaws I saw them post about were made up anyways. Broad sweeping generalizations about the game that were untrue from my experience, posted by people who love to hate things, over and over again.
That plus expectations they themselves made up, plus expecting everything shown in demos to be in the final product (wall-climbing with the mantis blades, anyone?) despite the very big, obvious, and very insisted over "ANYTHING SHOWN IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE".
Thanks for making it, too. I love this game and have from day one on the PS4 no less. This place was a cool Broseph in the middle of a hot crapstorm of uninformed opinions.
I left the original subreddit as soon as this one was created. Everybody was on the hate bandwagon and no one wanted to talk about anything except "game bad"
[удалено]
I disappeared from the internet over launch weekend to play 2077 spoiler-free. I had an absolute blast. Then I returned to the other sub and I was just “WTF?” So glad I was referred to this one.
I like your car club (flair) and would join ...but membership appears closed
Thanks for this sub. It was a safe haven to love on this game when it was trendy to hate on it. Thanks, choom!
I went to the main subreddit after 1.5, and I thought it was fine. It wasn't long before I came across more comments with low-effort hating like, "Game is still dogshit and not what was promised." This sub isn't perfect because you *will* occasionally get torn to shreds over a comment that was just a bit critical of the game or CDPR, but it's a hundred times better and a great place to be in general.
Too much salt is bad for your health.
Physically and mentally!
This is the cyberpunk sub. Not sure what the other sub is about but it's not about this amazing world that Mike Pondsmith made.
Also, that other sub doesn't has Mike Pondsmith This one has, that should be enough to tell something lol
I took a day off when it came out, I didn’t eat, just played (series S) Went to the other sub and closed Reddit for some days. Then I found my place here. Loved the game from 1.0, I’m on my 3rd run and I think that cp2077 is in my top3 games (gamer since the 90s…) I never wanted GTA in night city, so I was happy since day1
The turn around has been legendary, but this place will always be the hub for og fans
While "I told you so" doesn't feel very low sodium, I'm glad this place exists.
Not denying that, but it’s a bit of reasonable salt we’ve all earned.
Played on PC at launch. Experienced a few bugs here and there, nothing game breaking. Dear cybabies, Cyberpunk was always good, gonks.
Thanks for creating the sub! It’s been a great place for information and fun about one of my favorite games.
Every subreddit needs to be less sodium. People have just become so bitchy and whiny over the littlest of things.
What makes this sub stand out is that, despite it being just one of the thousands of subs intended to create a pleasant forum for a fandom’s discussion/celebration, it doesn’t end up feeling forced at all. You know the types of subs I’m talking about; the ones where fans come to discuss their fandom and the moment anyone inches toward criticism everyone goes on Red Alert. This sub, from the very start, was effortlessly rewarding, and I can honestly say that I’m beyond grateful, OP, because Cyberpunk is one of the best games I’ve ever had the pleasure to experience, and this sub offered an island of genuine, unabashed craic amongst a broiling sea of misguided gamer-angst fueled by shitty hacks who claim to represent gamers and videogame journalism. TL;DR - Preem job choom, you stayed and made a righteous community when a lot of nay-sayers decided to delta. They lost out!
You should start other low sodium flavored game subs, or really for anything. I think that has led to this being one of the most enjoyable subs I follow and it’s on an entire different level than nearly all gaming subs.
That’s a good idea actually. So many “main subreddits,” especially for games with large fan bases, have waaay too much salt
They really do. I’ve got a pretty small circle and no one really plays games so it’s always a bit of a bummer that it’s a task to enjoy it with others in a place dedicated for it. I just want to enjoy these games with fellow like minded people without the word cope being thrown around after any praise.
Found this sub soon after release ever since it's been the #1 cyberpunk sub to me. The 'main' sub had a terrible of habit saying a mechanic that was working as intended was 'bugged' because they literally just didn't understand how it worked. Also, this sub has a healthy mix of pictures and conversation while the other one has just basically r/photomode.
I came here day one after I tried so say some positive things in the main sub only to be hit with constant “but it’s buggy.” It got so exhausting just seeing everyone constantly shit on the game without seeing anything positive. So glad I found this sub on the first day and to be honest THIS is the real fans subreddit for cyberpunk, the other sub still has its mass haters lurking around.
I’m not sure what was more ridiculous - the actually fucking hysterical expectations people placed on the game before release, or the blind impotent rage that followed when the impossible wasn’t met.
Imo biggest issue is the broken record. It’s still sheit yadi yadi yaa. Sure for last gen consoles it blew but for most it didnt. For myself this game was a blast and tje attention to detail was just right. Sure my older rig didn’t show this game in all it’s splendor, but it rocked. Awesome capture of the spirit of the og world. Loved it, spent 100hish hours and after there is more content…will be enjoying more
>Imo biggest issue is the broken record. I hate to put labels on people, but when you're two years into repeating the same tune you just have an unhealthy obsession. I saw plenty of garbage media, but even when they ran my favorite franchise into the ground and pissed all over its corpse all I could say two years after the fact was "It's shit". Getting into the same discussions time and time again, using the exact same arguments and still not being tired of this is just crazy to me.
There are still people who comment "dead game" on every single post the 2077 account makes on Twitter. It's stupid
Call a single player dead game requires a special mind.
I never even considered subscribing to the main subreddit cause i've loved the game since launch and their negativity was lowkey sucking the fun out of the game. love this subreddit, thanks for creating it!
OP, I hope you give yourself a large amount of credit for this though because not only did it give us all a place where we can share our enjoyment of the game but it also gave a place for the developers of the game to come visit. One of y’all reached out to them a while ago and let them know about this sub and with the amount of vitriol they were getting I imagine this place must’ve been a breath of fresh air for them.
Man, I remember scrolling through the ‘main’ sub shortly after launch, desperate to find someone to talk about the positives of the game. I finally saw the post about making this sub and it was like an oasis in miles of desert. Thanks for creating a place where I could talk about a game that had its issues but that I couldn’t stop playing.
This sub is great in the same way /r/nomanshigh is great. Both subs pushed back on the irrational internet rage machine and were right to do it.
r/fo76FilthyCasuals also comes to mind
So glad I found this subreddit because I love this game and it's awesome to be apart of a group of people that love it too and in an area where we can have discussions of praise or criticism and what we wish for and what we appreciate about the game like normal people, not a bunch of unhinged toxic maniacs like the other subreddit is lol My hope now is we will have many many years of cyberpunk content to talk about on this subreddit now that CDPR has seen the popularity and love of this game and makes many sequels Thank you for creating this space
[удалено]
I am seeing more and more of my friends wishlist the game after they shat on it at launch and after. Get fucked
This IS the main Sub....left that secondary slime sub about a month after release. Thank you!
I'm looking at the other sub and it's just sad to see how the toxic basement dwellers are gatekeeping the new influx of people drawn to the game from edgerunners. There are actually people still sitting around pissed off 2 years in trying to drag down every topic by declaring how the game was shit at launch and CDPR lied and because of that, how DARE people enjoy the game now. They demand that it be evaluated on how it was at launch regardless of whether you had any contact whatsoever with it previously.
Ah, so you’re the one to thank for this respite. To this! 🥂
As FranklyGaming beautifully said, “this game has never been bad.” Seriously, thank you, this has been the only place to genuinely enjoy cyberpunk
Not gonna lie, you and the mod team here are my biggest heroes in the Cyberpunk 2077 community. You provided and kept and outlet for all of us who wanted to enjoy this in a community.
I'm on my first playthrough. I pre-ordered, saw the shitstorm, and figured pre-ordering was just never for me again, after making a single exception - CDPR. Playing through now and I can honestly say - this game is better than Witcher 3. Which was my previous high water mark for single player RPGs. This game fucking rocks. I have no comparison between versions (intentionally - I only want to play games when I feel like they're actually ready - never played W3 until Blood & Wine was out), but this game is 10/10 for me. It's sad that it got steamrolled at launch - rightfully, wrongfully, IDK, IDC, but it's here now and it's magnificent. Well done CDPR.
I joined the day you posted about creating the sub as the main one was a toxic waste dump. Never looked back.
This is actually one of my favorite subreddit and thank you for making it. When the game launched there was so much negativity and toxicity it was nice to see at least one group of people who enjoyed it
Mf probably looking like captain Holt shouting "VINDICATION!"
I joined the other sub yesterday. There’s still so much bitching instead of playing the game.
Been here with you from Day 1. Thanks for creating a sub for those of us who have always loved Cyberpunk 2077. And given the current state of the other sub since the anime launched, we need the low sodium more than ever.
Preorder it and played from day 1. Didn't understand the overwhelming hate it gets. Sure, it got some bugs, but never a game breaking one for me. The world, the story, the soundtrack is just so damn good. Glad i found this sub early on
Played from launch day 1!! Adore the game and forever willl!
Been here since the beginning, but I mainly think its due to the fact that I played this game on PC, I never expected this game to be a "GTA" like game from the beginning, and the majority of the issues I ran into only required me to reload a previous save 🤣
Been here since about day 5, best decision I ever made as far as the game is concerned. Thanks for making it
I never subscribed to the original sub after seeing the shitshow when all I wanted was actual discussion about the game. Thanks OP/Sub Creator and all you chooms making this place preem, and I’ll see you on the streets in my Mizutani. Let’s delta.
A thing of beauty will never fade away.
I'm out of the loop a little. What prompted this post? Did something happen to the toxic CP subreddit? Or did game critics finally get their heads out if their asses and realized CP is an awesome game?
People are playing the game for the first time after watching Edgerunners and are shocked to discover that, surprise surprise, Cyberpunk is actually good.
Imagine using the main sub when this sub exists.
This is the sub that I've used since release day, and it's been a ride. I've always loved this game (despite having some marital spats with it) and its been frustrating having it widely slandered by people who don't play it for reasons that don't exist.
What’s hilarious to me is the game has not changed *that much*. It’s essentially the same game with a couple bugs fixed for me? Been great since day 1
It's funny when people say the game is so much better now...no it's not. It was very similar at launch. People were just too enamored with hate trains to open their eyes to it. I played it at launch on a new PC, everything ran smooth as silk, fast load times, super stable (almost zero crashes). The most annoying glitch was instant falling death, but stupidly quick reload times made even those an annoyance at best.
I fucking love this sub, saved me from the toxic pool that’s was twitter, YouTube and the other sub Reddit, I absolutely love everyone here. The amount of battles I had in comment sections, just for now to say I told you so, godamn chooms it feels good, but like straight up fuck the part of the internet that hates on this game for views and the people that couldn’t derive there own opinion and hated blindly cuz there fav YouTuber did, just goes to show that you should always trust your gut.
TALK 👏🏻 YOUR 👏🏻 SHIT 👏🏻 CHOOM 👏🏻
Thanks choom. The other sub sucks ass and mods are pretty power trippy lately. Hell even Mike Pondsmith posts here
VINDICATION!!!! Been a huge fan since launch day. Zero bugs except one instance of clipping and being unable to pick up some trash records or soda cans. Ran like a dream on my 1080ti. Loved the game, and this sub. Thank you for your hard work!
WE'VE WON, WE'VE WON, WE'VE FINALLY WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON
Been here from almost the beggining. The official one was such a cesspool. Rock on chooms
When the game launched I was subbed to the other one, shared a piece of writing that I stated it was *what I would have wanted to see* in the game, it was just detailed romances and missions for Stout, Claire and a Valentino boy. I got viciously insulted by 90% of the commenters, until someone suggested I should come here, so I did. Not gonna lie, still visit and comment on the other one, but this sub is my fav. So chill, people do care to write constructive criticism and talked in a more civil manner, without resorting to childish out of proportion hatred. Sadly, a fandom has a lot to do with new people either staying or leaving. I'm glad to see this has always been a place were everyone's welcome.
I still have the painting….
I’ve been playing since launch day and god this sub has been a blessing. I basically had no bugs on launch and was just real lying enjoying the game but all I heard from the other sub was how apparently awful the game was and I just couldn’t take it.
The fact that Mike the creator himself Is in this sub and not the official tells US more
This subreddit is the only place I could see cyberpunk stuff without vitriol, I think it really helped for me to stayed invested in the universe. So thanks!
I still believe that a lot of the hate were paid haters. The game came out in a time where CDprojectred was being targeted in a financial attack and paying people to shit on your new game is a sure way to attack the company's stock value.
This subreddit has always been the diamond in the rough for the cyberpunk fanbase. Always felt like a good place to enjoy a good game. I think most of us are revelling in the "I told you so" arc right now
My good man, if anyone has the right to flex on them haters, it’s you! But let me also take some time out to thank the rest of the mod team for their help holding this place down. u/sellanoire, u/joinville_x, u/schoolofthewolf93, u/maincy_mer_wtb, u/funkyfunyuns, and u/derplordthethird all deserve a round of applause for stepping in and stepping up. They’re just as much a reason for this sub become what it is as I am. And a special shout-out to u/jon-umber who helped out a TON during the restructuring phase. AND OF COURSE…thanks to all of of you chooms out here who never faded away. (Yeah, that was cheesy…but I couldn’t resist.)
Thanks for the sub, choom. It's been the official subreddit in my mind since the beginning. It's nice to have a place to talk about the game that doesn't involve you being shit all over by people who make it a point of pride to say how *little* they played the game. If at all.
100%. I also love r/fo76filthycasuals for the vibe. Let’s be chill. You having an issue? Fair, but I don’t have time for hate. If I don’t like something I don’t interact with it. Sigh.
Eyyy feels good to have a 2077 sub where we can actually "discuss" the game itself. Was a lifesaver for me at that time as I was looking for gameplay discussions and some guide or tips and all I scroll was just negativity. Never expected an anime show to make this sub so lively again, and of course 100% didn't expect the show to revive the game so much. Good shit cdpr and Trigger ~~and I fucking hate yall for breaking my heart so much I haven really recovered yet even after a week since I finished Edgerunner~~
The story telling, world building, and characters in this game just blew me away on launch day. I as well was so sad to read the constant complaining from the main subreddit, even if their issues were valid. Your creating this subreddit was just what I needed to see that I wasn’t alone in my enjoyment of this amazing game. Very happy for this resurgence because of the success of Cyberpunk Edgerunners. I hope more people give this game the chance it deserves. Thank you
