So i decided to finally play this game after not knowing about its existence for the longest time, i had only played the original back in the day, what can i say...

TRULLY, ONE OF THE WORST, IF NOT THE WORST SEQUEL OF ALL TIME, and i mean this with all my heart, maybe because i just finished the first one and played the second in sequence, but i just cannot forgive the shit show that was this game, pretty much everything about it its just retarded

The ONE good thing i can give to the game is maybe the fact that unlike the first game where you could pretty much beat the game with only one character, even if they had unique skills, it was not NECESSARY, if you good at the game and knew the routes, you can beat it with the same 1 character, in this one, you actually have to use all of the characters, some parts cannot be completed without a unique skill, and that is nice.

That is IT, nothing else is improved, NOTHING, on the contraire, they took the premise and characters of the first game and decided to just,

"you know what, fuck them, we want to waste money, we want to never make another game, obscure 3? nah, never will happen, we will make sure"

I can just know, they actually tried to make a final destination thing and well, the game was made during the unbearable era of torture porn horror movies, where in the first game characters COULD die, but it was pretty much ON YOU, a skill issue thing, they could die IF YOU BAD ENOUGH, you could finish the game with 5 people or just 1 alive, not this one tho, the characters just fucking die one after the other in random cutscenes, dumb, lazy deaths, made for shock value

Honestly, maybe if i didnt play the first game, MAYBE, i could enjoy this s.h.i.t show, the gameplay is bad, but for the time its decent, not the end of the world

Just do yourself a favor, forget this game exists, play the first one, pretends this never existed, be happy.

After completing the platinum of the game and doing literally everything that this game has to offer, to every easter egg or conversations possible with every NPC possible, now i finally feel like i can come here and make my:

"DID I LIKE THE GAME?"

◈ I did buy Cyberpunk on pre-order, since day 1 i played, but tbh i never did all the endings back there, finished the game once, kinda, honestly the game was so bugged, crashed so much, i literally had to start the game all over again 2 times because of a mission that was bugged so i could not go further in the main story, that was 2020.

◈ Now, 2024, 4 years later, 2 years after the year that this game was supose to come out, and it shows, the game was already playable given the many patches and QOL changes over the years, but this DLC, phantom liberty was just a slam dunk, what a send off

◈ This was one of the mostr emotional games i ever played, i trully believe this game has one of the greatest written stories on the medium, i really felt like this game was a simulator, maybe we heading to that future, i am starting to believe that

◈ The last time i played a game that legit made me cry, REALLY CRY for many times during the 200+ hours i played the game was maybe when i re-played the trilogy of MASS EFFECT

◈ Everything about this game (story, atmosphere, world building) was done to such perfection tha i actually feel sad that the game was not able to properly finish its cycle before launch, dont get me wrong, the game is still the worst game ever when its about bugs, every minute i played i found a bug, glitch, pretty much every other mission i had to load a save because the HUD or the mission itself was bugged, sometimes i had to replay the entire thing, other times i lost 1 hour of playtime cause the auto save didnt work and i didnt manually save, alot of things to complain here on the technical part of the game, its a mess

◈ I enjoyed every ending, some more then the others, i speacially like the DEVIL one, where V is given the ALTERED CARBON treatment, i would like that the game used that one for the sequel, so that V can come back

◈ I also enjoyed one of the new ones where V is cured but has to live as a regular choom, no chrome, just a regular person, that one i liked because, well, V is alive and is free, and i would also like to see V in the sequel and play as him with no chrome, imagine that being the hardest dificulty, MORGAN BLACKHAND himself

◈ Cyberpunk 2077 has the best sidequests i ever seen in a game also, i normally enjoy doing them in every game i have the option to, i am the kinda guy that likes to platinum my games so doing those is most of the times a must, and from all of the games i played, like ever, this has the best side quests, i made sure to do them all and even look on google if i made it right or if they had diferent endings

◈ I will leave this here, if for some reason they decide to not use V, if V is not the protag of the next game, i will NOT be playing, unfortunately, they created something i will never forget here, and if they just say "hehe f you reet, V is dead, we making a new one, letter F now, for F_4_G, that is you"

₪ Meh, i wanna rant about it, but w/e, game is amazing, go play, you will prob find yourself watching youtube videos about the cyberpunk lore

Truly a great game, honestly, not perfect tho, I feel like the MC is kinda meh, wish we could know more about him, the way the game starts and his power gives you the idea he has more to him, the world is beautiful and they did an AMAZING job of bringing from the pages of the books, the game really is about HOGWARTS, its place in the MIDDLE of the map and you can see it from every single angle of the main map, such a nice view

Unfortunally after you finish the story the game really become kinda dead, I am someone that enjoy platinum games so I was doing this one, there is so many collectables but you feel bored after the story ends, nothing to do besides going from place to place collecting things

I feel that for a first game they did an amazing job, and i feel good about what comes next, hope its better and better

I cant give less of a shit about what you think on JK, your schizo is not my problem, she has nothing to do with the DEVs of this game and if you think harassing people that plays this or review bombing this will do anything, not only you are a cunt, but you are a dumb, very dumb one at that

Anyway, I liked the game, def not perfect, alot to improve, but i had a good time, def recommend it! 😊

I would like to say, yeah, i was wrong, this remake is pretty nice, imo it was still not needed, the original 2008 game did not age bad at all, on the contraire even, but well, i am glad we have a good one instead off a bad one, let me leave it at that.

NOW, let me tell you what i HATE about this game, WHY CANT ISAAC JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP? WHY DOES HE KEEP TAKING HIS HELMET OFF? like, wtf my dude, what is the reasoning for this? specially in the face department, what did they do to Nicole and Isaac´s face? they look like two dumb asses, specially Isaac, cant stand his face, you know someone with a punchable face? that is Isaac in this game, the biggest fumble of all time was this downgrade

OK, thank you for reading my hatred for that, BUT, i am glad that my biggest issue is something so minimal, its one of the best remakes i seen so far, near 1 to 1 from the original, this is how you do it, nothing was erased, but a few things were added, kudos to you EA, for doing something decent for once, hope this streak continue

FOR TECHNICAL issues, i can confirm, if you go check the discussions tab on the community for this game, yes, the game runs like crap, for some reason they still didnt fix most of the issues with this game, it took me 60h to 100% the game, but it should have been 40 something hours, i had 20 hours wasted because of bugs and such, had to start a impossible run from scratch 9h in because the game crashed and my save got corrupted, some cutscenes just never happen and Isaac speaks to himself, heck, one encounter with the hunter i never even did it because Isaac just stood there talking to himself and nothing happened, guess that is cool

I had less technical issues with cyberpunk when it launched then with this one, and i am not even exaggerating, its that concerning

TLDR:

In the end of the day is a very good remake, almost 1 for 1, and that is amazing, Isaac face and he speaking is truly unforgivable, retarded even, the worst downgrade in video gaming history, but i guess nothing is perfect, some fumbles will happen

Indeed the game has ALOT of issues technically, alot of bugs and game ending crashes that are still not fixed, another sad case of amazing game with a poor PC port, seems like a common thing now, and that is quite annoying

I would say you should play this version anywhere you can get besides PC, or, well, play the original, its still the superior version

This was a hard one, because I really tried to like this game, and since i just 100% the game, I feel like I can safely recommend, or in this case, not

First of all, the insane amount of technical issues i encountered playing, a game that honestly would take 15, maybe less hours to platinum, took me 40 hours, buggy encounters, game sound just stops working, some playthrought items not droping (the last old key in the jail cell never doped for me in any of my plays, don't matter the difficulty)

Also, WHY DOES THIS GAME NOT SUPPORT BORDERLESS MODE? I cant even use borderless gaming with this game, its just hell, I had to do a lot of things for the game to just run properly, like i cant play the game on the monitor that is not connected with my graphics card(????)

Honestly i also don't like the UI, the enemies literally looks like free blender assets, the story of the game is just uninspiring, i literally never gave a single ♥♥♥♥ about the MC and her story, the one side character and his goal to find what happened to his partner, literally the only endings (the game has 5 endings) that i enjoyed was the 2 joke endings, one that reference dino crisis and a sci-fi one

Also, the map is so nonsensical, like, i love the mansion inspired on resident evil, that is amazing, and i enjoyed it, but they really exceeded with the backtracking here, there is literally like 12 keys you have to find, in the beginning of the game you pass through like 8 locked doors and all of them are different keys, insanity

If you wanna do this much side tracking, please keep the map short, because the game is not all in the mansion, they added a courtyard, which is fine, resident evil also had that, but they added like 4 more areas, and you just get lost

The game has a "final scene", the generic "bad guy dead body close up and then he just looks at the camera and opens his eyes, that are RED NOW!!!!!!!" amazing, so i guess they will MAYBE make a sequel? dunno, hope they improve if they do, this game truly has a lot of potential and I really did try to enjoy it

ALSO, I have to talk about the NEMESIS/MR X kinda enemy you fight 3 or 4 times along the game, holy molly, I never, ever, seen a more lame boss in my life, everything about his is just retarded, its so funny, at any point i was scared of this dude, I was laughing my ass off the dude is literally balding, the boss you suppose to piss yourself every time he appears is a balding dude wearing latex, I cannot make this up, at this point he is something that i enjoyed about the game, because i was bored and then he appears and i was laughing my tits off, I love you gatekeeper

I did enjoyed all of the costumes tho, so I guess silver linings do exists here 🙏🤠🤔

First of all, I want to say, I tried liking this game, I remember playing when I was a kid on the PSP, I mean, kinda, I know I played the game since I still have the UMD, but I don't really remember anything about it, only the MC, Ace, always thought he was super cool

Now, after playing again, more then 10 years later, I can say a lot of things about it, mostly bad things honestly

I have to be honest, I despise current Final Fantasy, heck, Square Enix as a whole, they are an walking L, I hate that company as much as I hate Konami

That out of the way, I tried liking TYPE-0, I really did, call it nostalgia, but I remember "liking" the game, so I was willing to give this a chance, well, that was a very, very big mistake

The gameplay

I ain't a fan of action jrpgs, to me is a crime against nature, a sin really, but I didn't mind this one that much, at least the range characters, I mainly used the ranged ones, playing with a melee character here is really frustrating, hard to hit, your attacks don't feel good to hit at all, i almost never used magic either, or the summon mechanic, only when the game wanted me to use it, really pointless

The Story

Now, this one is the weakest part of the game, not really, but it is, TYPE-0 shares the mythos with FF XIII and FF XV, so you prob gonna read a lot of things and link up, that is the fun part of the game imo, when you hear something and go "ohhh, I know that, that is cool"

The War angle is not that interesting specially since this is something Final Fantasy already did multiple times, but, i actually was liking some characters, even if not that original, 90% of the CLASS ZERO, the MC crew, they are pretty fun and I liked every single one (only 2 of them that I have issues with), and they are easily the best part of the game, by far, and that makes me livid, because of what, or how the game ends.

Now, I want to say this without spoiling the game for anyone that wants to play this, this game has possibly one of the worst endings of all time, easily top3 worst endings in any Final Fantasy, it has nothing of worth in it, everything about it disgusting and makes you feel like you wasted your time.

I do not recommend anyone to give this a try, unless you just skip all the cutscenes after the last boss, do yourself a favor, don't try it, you will be very upset

For anyone interested, I uploaded the entire run on youtube.
