Announcing your redemption arc before even starting it sounds like a surefire way not to have one.

Admittedly CDPR announced their own redemption arc for Cyberpunk 2077.
Though, I'm not holding my breath for this one.

Cyberpunk had bugs, for loads of people ground reaking bugs.

But I got it on PC launch and didn't really notice anything bad after tweaking settings.

Mindsete (from what I've seen) doesn't even have good bones, everything is shit except cutscenes visuals and the content of what they're saying sucks.

I don't know how they could save this without turning it into a brand new game

Yeah you can't remake your game in QA

The biggest problem with Cyberpunk 2077’s redemption arc is that they pulled it off, and now a bunch of studios think they can do it too.

No Man's Sky did it first.

Someone should go back and give Daikatana a redeption arc so we finally can be John Romero's bitches.

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Ruby Ranger seems to be trying.

The development of Doom and Quake is a tragedy with no villains. Daikatana has several.

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Well, it's good if they try

Funny guy, seriously, he drops jokes after jokes

Having watched one (1) video about this game, I'd guess the best fix would be making the combat unhinged. Don't polish it. Crack it. Make it fit the batshit nonsense story, by being interesting, instead of sensible.

Polished gem vs polished turd.

Good luck!
