澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Cyberpunk 2077's quest director Pa😼wel Sasko has ꧑addressed fans' disappointment over the lack of branching storylines in Night City.

While the array of technical issues plaguing Cyberpunk 207𒁏7 dominated discussion when the game launched in 2020, there were many who found its narrative underwhelming due to its linearity and lack of player-driven decisions. 

), Sasko addressed the criticism the game received for being too linear, saying, "players expected more." He points out that the way quests are managed in Cyberpunk 2077 means that no two playthroughs will be the same. "There's so much randomization inside that system that it's not possible to have identical playthroughs," he says. 

But while dialogue and story elements can differ depending on your choices, it's mainly on a smaller scale, and according to Sasko, players were expecting more based on how big and branching 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:CD Projekt Red's previous ti😼tle, The Witcher 3, is. "Cyberpunk has an insane am💞ount of nonlinearity, but I think the expectations were higher."

Also part of the problem, as Sasko sees it, is that when it comes to some of C♔yberpunk 2077's bigger branching paths, players generally tend to stick to the same route. For instance, one event that has a significant impact on how the story plays out is whether or not Takemura dies. According to Sasko, when players learned how to keep the character alive, "everyone started doing that, and in players' minds, it💯 became linear."

Sasko ends by saying that, in a way, he feels the situation is "slightly overblown" but also ac🤡knowledges that "it could have been better".

If you've not yet had your fill of Night City, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, the game's first and only expansion, is set to launch sometime this year. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:A sequel codenaꩵmed Project Orion is also in the works, which CDPR says will "prove the full power an🔴d potential of the Cyberpunk universe."
