The facts are very simple - this is a PS4 game we’re being told not to play on the PS4. Scratch that, it’s a triple-A PS4 game with a huge hype cycle and massive marketing campaign that we’re being told not to play on PS4. You can still buy it, of course. I don’t know if the PS Store can detect the difference between a PS4 and a PS4 Pro, but putting out a tweet essentially saying "you can buy this, but don’t," is horrifically anti-consumer. There are definitely players who are going to buy this on their regular PS4s - PS5s are notoriously hard to get and for literally every other game, the standard PS4 works. I know, I had the base version of the console last gen and had zero issues with its performance aside from it running a little loud. These players will be buying it because if they want to play Cyberpunk 2077, they have no other options, and they might not have even seen the tweet telling them not to. It’s reasonable for a player to assume that if a game is available to buy on the PS4, it will work on the PS4. We should be outraged that CDPR and Sony are selling these folk an unplayable experie

Silicon Dreams tackles some big philosophical questions and does so with a deft hand. The dialogue between yourself and the androids you interrogate is well written - save for some spelling errors here and there - and has quite a few twists and turns along the way. Each android has a unique personality that makes you feel conflicted about what to do with them. They all act like real people even though they've completely synthetic. Kronos will give you mission briefings that often have some rather cold-hearted requirements such as deleting their memories or melting androids down for scrap. You'll find yourself forced to put an android to death because they've been watching too many movies or they have a faulty arm joint. By the end of the game, I was feeling pretty damn gui

The only problem is that some junk sells for a lot of Eddies, and there’s no way to enable or disable this perk without spending 100,000 Eddies on a Tabula E-Rasa. And, apparently, players are reporting that this Perk has a habit of scrapping Quest Items that fit into the junk category, which, if true, is just so abs

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

Ah, artificial intelligence. There are few subjects that are as interesting to write about as the concept of giving robots the capacity to think and feel. It's a rich topic of discussion because it opens up all kinds of questions about what exactly it is to be a sentient lifeform. Do androids deserve rights? Should they be treated equally? Are we monsters for creating beings solely for the purpose of performing menial tasks for our own convenience? Silicon Dreams asks all these questions and more, which not only makes it a good piece of science fiction but also a fascinating, entertaining g

Outrage is pretty common in gaming, and it feels wrong to be encouraging it, especially around a game as toxic as Cyberpunk 2077. For the record, I don’t care for the game. While it would have been fascinating to see how the game itself and the discourse around it would have been different if it came out bug free, it still would have had its issues. Bugs or no, Cyberpunk 2077 Online guide 2077 is a game with a very binary perspective on gender that trades on a mostly superficial view of trans people , a horribly misogynistic view of women and sex workers , fridges one of its strongest female characters, and contained a (now patched out) racist m

I don’t like the game - even without the questionable content, I thought most of the world was pretty uninspiring, Us Cracks were the only characters vaguely off the beaten path that I enjoyed, and rebelling against what the game wanted from me by using it as a fashion simulator (or speaking to the people making it into a fashion magazine ) was the most fun I had. But still, it’s a blockbuster release, and I take no pleasure in seeing the people who like it - even the people who supported it at its most toxic - getting screwed over like this. I’m not winning because they’re losing. Nobody is winning except the people making money, and that’s what got Cyberpunk 2077 into this mess in the first pl
