You definitely wanna do the Grimm Troupe DLC, it ends with the hardest fight in the game.

The Grimm Troupe and Godmaster free updates also added some great bossfights but I would honestly just look up how to start them if you didn't find them already.

Did you find the optional Bee-area?

Yeah, I got the Collector's Map and went grub hunting which took me there

I'll probably just open a wiki and look up all the bosses I missed, I'm sure I missed some dream refights too

Do note that even if you like hard combat in HK they kind of went overboard in Godmaster. The ultimate challenges are going to push your poo poo in

they made the hour of gameplay they demoed to the press public which surprised me becasue it feels like that can only deflate hype relative to the trailer as some people will see things they dont like in it (e.g. lots of people complaining about it being first person view)

Honestly you'll probably like just about all of it, most of it is boss fights segregated off into their own little areas. You get new refights for Dung Defender (go back to the arena where you fought him and look for a breakable floor) and Zote (located in an NPC's house in Dirtmouth), the Grimm Troupe quest line (starts in Howling Cliffs), and a boss refight area (entrance is in a hidden area of Royal Waterways, needs a Simple Key). There's also a hidden platforming challenge in White Palace but it sounds like you should skip that one, it doesn't actually give you anything.

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
Seems weird that the studio that made a big deal about keeping Witcher 3 in the oven to make sure it was great on day 1 - a move that really paid off for the company and franchise - would turn around and turboslam the crunch button for their next big title. GOG laid off about a dozen people and that's not really cause for alarm nor is it a sign that CDPR will be pushed into overdrive. Similarly, GOG caters to its own clique of gamers and has been existing in Steam's shadow for years. Epic coming out with a launcher/store that doesn't have discussion boards for their games, or the ability to make groups in game from your friends lists, or user reviews, or the ability to sort their the store's offerings, or screenshot functionality doesn't seem like the GOG killer some articles are describing.

But what do I know, GOG and CDPR could be knocking at death's door and we'll see Cyberpunk 2077 in stores by June.

Nobody gives a gently caress about them but now 4chan and 8chan and affiliates do and that will net them more support

We have reached the point where appealing to white supremacists is more reward than risk for many companies
People engage with media based on whether or not they want to engage with that media. This cuts both ways. People very rarely actually care enough to buy games based on their own politics, because they know it's a futile effort. If the actual game has content they agree/disagree with, maybe, but woke sites still praise CDPR and link to articles about them even when it's open knowledge that CDPR is awful, and plenty of alt-right types love anime made by devout communists and/or lesbians, or buy indie games that are made by the drat SJWs. There's no grand marketing strategy here that proves society is failing.

CD Projekt is worth like 5 billion dollars and CDPR makes up half of that. I'm not sure at what point they managed to convince everyone that they're some tiny struggling indie dev but I'm pretty sure your cyberpunk game will be ok.

ace combat 04 is cool but i'm kinda glad it's short cause it's a lot harder to run in pcsx2 than the later ones and i'd like to have hardware rendering available

would be nice if they'd just rerelease these games in hd, and more than just as like pre-order bonuses or ps4 backwards compat or whatever

GOG fired 12 people and hired 20 so I'm not sure they're in as dire a situation as people have been saying. Not great either way and I don't know why that means they're going into crunch mode for Cyperpunk. AFAIK GOG and CDP Red are pretty separate employee wise. The last hyper crunch game that the studio bragged about I bought was RDR2 and it kinda sucked so I'm gonna wait on Cyperpunk probably.

THQ literally acquired Warhorse last month, the studio headed by daniel vavra, who loudly brags about how much he loves gamergate and is a very "triggered much?" edgelord

this really sucks for devs that got acquired by THQ and didn't know about this bullshit, now they'll be associated with it forever
