What is the Best CD Project Game?

Witcher 2 is the least bad game.

I like witcher 2 hub structure system unlike open world. but combat is bad. like real bad.

I played through Cyberpunk 2077 twice.

My brother played through Cyberpunk 2077 on release day on PC and it was quite alright, of course the internet is always looking for that "worst game of all time" booty.

Cyberpunk obviously

I didn't have fun playing the Witcher games

Cyberpunk 1.0 was disaster. but current version is what masterpiece is. its wholly different game and not just a patch. wish this version released in 2020 or they delayed the game and released in 2023.

This.

Witcher 3 (inc. expansions).

I'll be the solitary vote for The Witcher 1. It had the best story and atmosphere of any of their games, and it immediately put CDPR on the map.

Also, it's a shame nobody remembers their excellent smaller title Thronebreaker, or their exceptionally good online multiplayer Gwent.

Right now I would say The Witcher III but I’ve only played this and the second Witcher game. Do really want to play Cyberpunk 2077 though. Heard that it’s in a pretty good state now.

Played Witcher 2 and 3. Have no interest in the first person "''cyberpunk"" with silent protag. Pick Witcher 2 because the politics were more interesting than saving the world in 3 and it didn't destroy its sense of urgency by putting in 400 quests in a mostly empty open world. Put quotes around "cyberpunk" because it's obvious CDPR doesn't understand what cyberpunk is. Everything way too colorful, shiny and gay. Not run down, not old new and barely even punk.

Lol good ol ezikel/warmgun. Cyberpunk have talkative character you never play or research game and like any game since 20 years.

How about CDPR grab me either by making good third person controls or getting around the inherent shittiness of first person view with stellar VR? On top of making an actual cyberpunk.

Surprised Cyberpunk is leading over TW3. I thought TW3 would be leading.

Either way, I prefer TW2.

Too gay for punk? Is that even possible?

Toss up between The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk.

I lean towards Cyberpunk because of how much they improved the game; I hate to reward a developer for releasing a shit product and then, over a couple years, making it better; but at the same time, I enjoyed it well enough at release and freaking loved it recently with the expansion and update.

Yeah I thought punk aesthetic was inherently colorful, for the most part.

Also I didn't think it was too colorful, they did a good job of balancing the grimy undertones with superficial glam. Like, sure, you drive past a block of downtown Night City and things are well lit and there's neon, but you go down a street or an alley and you can see the old-world dirt and stuff.

Really great design.

I have enjoyed all their games, but easily The Witcher 3. It just had so many great and memorable quest lines and characters. Just a world is I really enjoyed spending time in.

I do regret playing Cyberpunk at launch. It wasn't as broken as some people made it out to be but it does sound like it has improved meaningfully. I still enjoyed it at the time but it didn't really leave a big impression like The Witcher games did.

I have to go with Cyberpunk. TW3 feels so bad to play.

Cyberpunk isn't exactly the same thing as punk though, but they're both similar in the sense that they're inherently colourful.

The cyberpunk aesthetic has always been about bright neon lights, inspired by the '80s cityscapes of Tokyo and Hong Kong.

cyberpunk esp with the dlc

@ghosts4ever:

To appreciate the Witcher 2's combat you have to play the Witcher...it is a huge improvement

The Witcher 3. I like all witcher games. 3 felt the most wholesome.

Cyberpunk is whatever. Weak characters and story. Didn't care for the world, either. Keanu was awful.

Witcher 2. Didn't really enjoy any of them though, and I refuse to play CP.

Pretty sure their best game is Gwent, but I haven't played it.

you missed one of the best game of decade. congrats.

Not according to people I care about.

Easily Witcher 3, I haven't played Cyberpunk yet.

Witcher 3... Bloody Baron questline and Hearts of Stone are still mountains for CDPR's future games to climb

Easily TW3, TW2 was also amazing but fell apart in the last act unfortunately. TW1, was more special than good, with a god awful combat system!

Got CP at launch and abandoned it after two game breaking bugs, never managed to get back into, maybe some day..

Played CP 2077 as a Nomad until I got to her apartment, about fifty minutes. Just really lazy grab enemy from behind stealth and crappy shooting. Extremely scripted and linear. Streets are far, far too empty thanks to the idiotic graphical realism (Remember Blade Runner's nightmarish crowd?) and the actual street planning is super bland. Just a lot of bends. CDPR sucks.

I miss cutscenes. Good cutscenes. This story is so boring.

The "hip fire" accuracy is not that bad. Close enough that the poor visibility through the iron sights is a much bigger drawback than trying to play almost the whole gunfight from "the hip." Would have used the button for something else. Anything else.

I wanted to check if the light was green. (Even though the game has, sadly, almost no traffic.) But I couldn't see the light. Then I noticed that they put it on the wrong side of the intersection.

Driving cars in non-racing games is lousy. Traffic always really slow too. Even in GTA V, everyone else so slow on the freeways. Oh, and could at least have a shifting system or maybe use the mouse wheel if we're playing on a keyboard with only digital inputs, so that we're not tapping, tapping, tapping key W for the right amount of acceleration.

I said once, "I wanted video game car chases to feel like {the movie Bullitt}. The weight of the car, the physics, maneuvering traffic instead of going top speed, pedestrians. A game JUST about the chases, that controls more like a sim racer, with support for the same peripherals. What I got instead are plain arcade mechanics and empty streets in every game. The circuits of racing games bore me. Takes too long to learn them."

Cyberpunk 2077 was one of my favorite games that I've played in 2024 so I voted for it. I've never played The Witcher 2 and I own it. The Witcher 3 I only played until the first town and did some side-quests there and never went back to it...I think I got distracted with other games at the time

Played Cyberpunk and The Witcher 3 and not really a fan of either. However I respect TW3 as a video game and what it achieved, and Cyberpunk turning things around with 2.0 is commendable despite being a souless husk of what was advertised. CP2077 promised to basically be a successor to Deus Ex and we never got that, it's a pretty looter shooter.

You should play more games if a single-player Boarderlands game with RT knocks your socks off. It's a fine game but certainly not one of the best, not even top 100 in past five years.

I agree its no Deus Ex. but most RPG have terrible gameplay and this being RPG with this good gameplay is amazing.

None of the above. lol :P

Witcher 2 combat is so bad I had to stop playing it.

It's fun to kill random goons that's true, in the same way it's fun in Fall Out 3.

I just don't think either is among the best just because shooting braindead NPCs is satisfying. Plenty of better games with much better gameplay fill that lust for violence.

they are but its not first person shooter so you cant judge Cyberpunk as FPS standard. its RPG/FPS hybrid. and for RPG standard its masterpiece.

obviously for FPS standard is mediocre as you cant compare it to something like Doom, FEAR, Half life lol.

They don't have a lot of games, but I'd probably say The Witcher 3, followed by Gwent, and then Cyberpunk.

That's why I compared it to Borderlands and Fall Out, both of which mix ARPG systems with FPS.

If Cyberpunk is a masterpiece then Destiny 2 is god tier. Frankly, nah either deserve the title "masterpiece".

Not to ruffle your feathers though, I do think Cyberpunk should be praised for actually fixing its POS launch that anyone with standards would hold as garbage.

& visually it's a nice looking game. Graphics alone though just mean jack shit.

CP2077 is a ARPG looter shooter. & not even one that has multiplayer. So it's a 7/10 on its best day. 6/10 if you don't give a shit for its advance ray-tracing.

Above average, nothing special.

Im partial to witcher 3

The Witcher 3 and it's not even close, Witcher 1 and 2 work because the underlying source material is so strong TW2 is leaps and bounds ahead of TW1 and TW3 is genuinely an impressive game, it has drawbacks with some of the combat and Geralt can feel a little unintuitive during 3rd person combat and some of the horse controls can feel a little unwieldy but nothing that detracts from the overall experience of the world, the story the multiple resolutions and response of the game based on player choice, voice acting, characterisations world development etc etc. all top notch.

Cyberpunk graphically even more impressive but that's about it, far less fleshed out, story really not all that engaging, after the major technical shortcomings were reduced it runs fine, but for my money Cyberpunk is far less engaging and the world as presented far less fleshed out.

Conundrum. Kinda want to play CP2077 so I can shit on it properly. I also don't, since it looks boring.

No one ever talks about why the game is good, I just see the occasional "it's a masterpiece" or "it's GOTY", but never see anyone talk about the game's mechanics or anything about why the game is good. Most likely because it isn't. When games are good, people are usually not shy about talking about what they think is good. Cool setpieces, neat mechanics, good story moments.. something. With CP2077 - nothing. Seems like a wholly unremarkable game with way too much hype.

So one part of me want to unravel the mystery of why people call it a good game, but another part of me doesn't want to play a boring game, and pay for it too. I guess the graphics takes it a long way? "Yeah, it's nothing special, but look! Shiny!"

Could The Witcher 4 Be Targeting the PS6 and Next-Gen Xbox, Given It Won't Be Out Until 2027 at the Earliest?

simple put. best gameplay in RPG game ever.

the cyberpunk setting is excellent that remind me of Deus ex but with excellent combat for RPG standard (if you judge shooting by FPS standard its mediocre), well crafted world, proper RPG elements without sacrificing gameplay.

It's pretty bad, agreed.

The world design and pacing is pretty much though. Closer to something like Gothic than Elder Scrolls where it doesn't feel like a bowl with "content", doesn't outstay it's welcome either. Even with the shitty combat completed it multiple times for areas/ending

I have only played Witcher 2 and 3, so it was easy to pick W3 as the best game. I have to try Cyberpunk soon. Problem is there is so much to play on Gamepass at the moment, and I don't have that much time.

with the dlc, it's a huge game, lots of interwoven stories, and the main plot is long, so you need to be prepped for that and pay attention as it can all get a bit convoluted. it take several hours alone to complete the opening mission, which then sets up the premise for the rest of the game, although it is quite a cool and inventive one tbf.

the story has peaks and troughs, some memorable moments, although some of it feels a bit heavy handed, but more plot depth and detail comes with the turf in an rpg. the side quests are pretty decent too. i only dipped into some, but most felt like they added to the experience rather than there just to fill up time.

mechanically it's solid. combat is fun, if a little on the easy side. the skill trees, abilities and upgrades are varied enough to let you build a character that suits a number of play styles. it's not going to set your world on fire but it's decent enough to carry the game. and the same with the missions. some have nice touches, make good use of the environments, of tools and mechanics etc. but some are a little more run of the mill.

visually it's impressive. the environments are well crafted, detailed and authentic, characters are generally on the right side of tolerable. dialogue is ok for the most part, although i wasn't keen on the protagonist's voice.

i think solid is the best word for it overall. it's about a 7/10 for me. if the theme appeals, go in expecting a long game, lots of story, but if you commit to it and let yourself get wrapped up in its world, chances are you'll at least get some enjoyment out of it. having a rough idea of your taste in games i couldn't confidently recommend it though, if i was to bet i think you'd probably peace out somewhere in the first 5-25 hours

@Macutchi: Nice, much appreciated dude. I think you're right on the money there about when I'd peace out. :P
