This is Hacker Public Radio episode 4,054 for Thursday the 15th of February, 2024.
|
|
Today's show is entitled Cyberpunk 2077.
|
|
It is hosted by Daniel Person, and is about seven minutes long.
|
|
It carries a clean flag.
|
|
The summary is, my experience playing Cyberpunk 2077.
|
|
Hello, hackers!
|
|
In this podcast, I'm going to talk about the game.
|
|
I have heard that others talked a lot about what they have been gaming lately and what is going on in that space.
|
|
And also talking about how different computer games work and so on.
|
|
I'm very much into these kind of experiences in games.
|
|
I love the really good experience, rich environment, a large world.
|
|
But I don't really like these kind of large world environments where you don't really have any objectives.
|
|
So if you just send me into a large world with a bunch of these kind of small things and not really have a good story arc,
|
|
then I'm just going to end up not playing it.
|
|
So I played through Dragon Age and Dragon Age 2, which I really liked.
|
|
And then I came to Dragon Age in Cushition, for instance.
|
|
And when I got a horse in that game and realized that this is just another Zelda game,
|
|
pretty much Zelda Link Awakening or whatever it's called.
|
|
The latest one or tiers of the Kingdom or something like that.
|
|
I was really put down and said, OK, I will not play this anymore because I know that it will be such a grind and not that much story.
|
|
I need to do a lot of work in order to get that extra information out.
|
|
Which is really nice with one of the games I played during my holiday break, which was Cyberpunk.
|
|
Cyberpunk has a lot of these extra game elements to them.
|
|
You have one thing where you shave down these kind of cyber villains.
|
|
So Cyberpunk is set in the future, 2077, where people pretty much have merged with machines.
|
|
And in some cases, people have gone crazy and you will shave down these crazy people and try to help them pretty much get back into society.
|
|
There is a bunch of different side quests where you find somebody and talk to them and help them in different ways.
|
|
You can go on a treasure hunt, you find a map piece somewhere and then you go to one coordinate and find more information and then to the next one and so on.
|
|
Which could be really fun.
|
|
A lot of different driving things that you needed to do.
|
|
Just pick up a car at one point and then just drive it to a different point.
|
|
And now that I have played through the full game and have done everything, I could feel that it's really just enjoyable to go into the world and drive around.
|
|
It's one of those games that are beautiful and rich and really interesting to just live in.
|
|
Driving around, stopping somewhere and taking a cup of coffee for instance, could be as enjoyable as playing the rest of the game.
|
|
But it has a great story with a great story arc as well. It's very mature.
|
|
So there is a lot of mature concept in the game.
|
|
So I think if you are not an adult, you should not play it.
|
|
It can be very rough at some places and so on.
|
|
But I still think that is a very rich story.
|
|
You can start in three different positions.
|
|
Either you are a nomad starting in the desert and then arriving to the city.
|
|
Or you could be a person that is waking up and living on the streets pretty much and then rising up from there and becoming a person of notice.
|
|
Or you could be one that has a desk job and then just stops working and then goes out as a bounty hunter.
|
|
So the game is pretty much you are a bounty hunter and then goes around doing jobs for hire.
|
|
And the jobs could be anything from going to a place and finding a thing to going to a place and helping people.
|
|
And the story arc is interesting because you start with doing a job.
|
|
A particular thing happens to you which is pretty much that's up to full game.
|
|
Which does that you need to do a bunch of things in order to survive.
|
|
So you are working for your survival in the game because of the first event that happens in the game.
|
|
And then by the end of the game there is a really good ending or multiple endings depending on how you actually play your game.
|
|
And if you are running into the DLC which I also have run through and done everything, there is more endings and more things to find out there.
|
|
And in the DLC there is these kind of objectives that are either you are a detective in one case so you try trying to figure out a crime.
|
|
And then you in another case you are going and impersonating of this particular person in order to change the power dynamic in the city and so on.
|
|
So there is a bunch of different interesting story arcs going on in the game and I just ate it up.
|
|
I just went through it and played all of it and I really like this setting this game and this kind of storytelling.
|
|
I don't think I have done all the side quests yet but it doesn't really matter.
|
|
I have gotten all the story I need from this game so in my mind I am done with it but I could just pick it up and drive around as I said because I really like the city vibe and the place of this game.
|
|
And driving is actually super enjoyable.
|
|
I didn't like the driving from the beginning. It was really hard to understand how to drive and the car that you get from the beginning is a really bad one.
|
|
But if you get a better car, a better motorbike, it's actually enjoyable to drive around.
|
|
So that was Cyberpunk. Have you played it? Did you like it? Leave a comment about that or send me an email if you want.
|
|
I would love to know what you think about the game or if you have played it or if you don't play these games at all.
|
|
And I hope to see you in the next episode.
