Jomsviking 最近的评测

This game need way more time in the oven, aside from the server issues, there are weird game breaking bugs like:
- In the middle of a fight, your iron sights don't work anymore and you're being mauled by a teleporting sprinter.
- You have issues like losing the ability to sprint for an entire match because.....reasons.
- Melee combat is a major focus, but it lacks because of the glitches.
- Zombies just magically appear and will lung for 10+ feet away instantly into you.
- Extreme lag, stuttering, and generally weirdness like floating heads.
- Explosives don't work like 99% of the time.
and so much much more.
The puzzles are kind of pointless but whatever, they tried to make boring tasks more entertaining.

In general I would give this game a lot of slack, but it needs WAY more time in the oven, it's going to be probably 6 months to a year before this game is in a state that it's acceptable. I'd say wait unless you're a super fan who wants to support the devs as they flesh things out.

- Edited to fix my bad spelling and grammar.

I'd say this game came along way from it's launch. I'm glade they didn't pull an EA or other gaming company tactic of instantly abandoning the game. It's not perfect, but it's in a really good place overall.

Pro's:
- The game is absolutely beautiful if you have a rig that can run it on the highest graphics, My 3090TI actually warms up pretty badly when playing this with everything basically on Ultra but it's stunning.
- The game play is mostly fleshed out and there are few bugs that interfere with your play through.
- Bug's in general are mostly gone, I've had a few weird moments but everything is running like it's supposed too.
- The stuff they added from edgerunners is slightly heart wrenching but I love that they added it all in 2 years after the game launched. It shows the Devs from CDPR still care about this game at least some, although they cut alot of the content they were going to release, which sucks, they haven't gone full abandonment on it.
- The game is overall fun to play and mess around in, it feels a lot more alive than when it launched.

Cons:
-I'm not sure how the game looks or runs in low quality graphics, but this game is really, REALLY, graphically intense if you want it to look the best.
- If you watched edgerunners, there are a lot of references and songs that will remind you of that story and possibly make you sad as ♥♥♥♥.
- There isn't as much choice as most people would want from an RPG. You have usually three or two options in every major decision, sort of like mass effects paragon system, not as bad, but it's usually go nuts on everyone, act like someone who cares/or like a baby and whine. When the third option is around, its usually considered the "rebel's" path but it's only available in a few situations. The same is about who you align with but thats more towards the end. You can get choose to have your friends help, choose to have the corps help, or go full rebel and solo it. It's not the worst, but it's also not the best in terms of options.

Overall, the game is pretty fleshed out right now, and really enjoyable. Most people came back because of edgerunners and start going full PTSD when specific songs play or you go to specific areas. I hope CDPR keeps it up and learns from their mistakes. Also, I hope they paying for Anime about edgerunners, or that the company that made the anime keeps doing cyberpunk like anime. I'd say now's a good time if you don't have it to try it out. Hopefully they do another cyberpunk but without the launch they did for this one.

Heavy spoilers ahead:

Okay, I've calmed down and will make a proper review, this is still a very negative review and there's nothing really wrong with the game in terms of bugs, my issue is with the story itself. I don't typically make reviews for games because I typically don't care enough to try, even if it's bad. This game is different, it's graphically beautiful but the story is just bad. (at least in my opinion)

The good:
-Mechanics are overall solid, it's a stealth/resource type game, it's not complicated at all and it works as intended.
-Graphics are stunning, it's a very pretty game and a lot of detail went into it.


The bad:
- I'll start by saying half of the attitude of the characters doesn't make sense. Everyone acts like killing is wrong, then ten seconds later say "♥♥♥♥ it" and tell you to kill 'em all. Then 10 minutes after that tell you killing is wrong again....pick an ideology and stick with it.

I have the most amount of issues with this right here, medieval Europe wasn't a soft place where everyone though killing was wrong, and I despise how someone will act horrified that guards are murdering everyone then get butthurt when you have to kill them. At one point you have a pirate/smuggler act surprised that you kill a bunch of slavers who are taking random people are chaining them to trees so they can slit their throats to attract rats.

- Both the protagonists and antagonists are brain dead which makes me feel like everyone is an idiot in general.
So through out the game the protagonist pisses a number of groups off, how these groups respond is pretty stupid.
The mercenary/ex-knight is probably one of the most annoying, he's angry you killed his people, but all the sudden the child uses rats against him and he wants your help to kill an old enemy of his, except he's completely okay when he finds out you basically collapsed his homeland with rats, I guess your home being annihilated is alright as long as you kill one random count who beat your ass in a war? okay...that's dumb. Later on you betray him and get him captured but he's cool after you save him or something. If that guy holds onto grudges that badly, I'd at least expect him to try to murder them again or something but he doesn't.

-The count is just as bad in terms of intelligence, He starts a cult after he finds the ruins and reads about the previous plague bringer and turns it into a way for his wife to cope with loosing the ability to have kids of her own. He finds out the kid is responsible for the rat plague, then attempts to kidnap him so his wife can take car of him, kidnap the kid whose causing a flood of doom rats that plague everyone and destroy everything in their wake, yes, that will go well. So when the plague carrier kills his wife, he acts angry, because who would have thought the kid that's wiped out sections of Europe would be a danger.

-The lack of intuition in general: There are several things about this that bug me, the ideas and choices that are made and the arguments characters have are just plain idiotic. Like telling the kid not to use his powers, then telling him to use them because you got a bit of a headache, then freaking out with the consequences of him using his power.
Everyone in the story is basically a killer, the plague carrier wiped out huge swaths of land and continues to do so, but he's somehow innocent.
The protagonist has to kill a lot of people in her way, but people around her constantly tell her it's wrong then tell her to hurry up and kill more when things start getting more dangerous. Also he apparently does the stereotypical idiotic villain thing of playing with someone he's going to kill because reasons....and then gets his wife killed by the plague kid.

-The protagonist is knows she had to kill people but refuses to pick up 99% of the weapons around her to do it, she is strong, she can pull back a crossbow's string on the move with one hand in order to shoot bolts at people (I will concede that crossbows can't go through plate armor, I hope you're happy to those who complained). She finally does pick up a sword towards the end of the game and drags it along the ground like she can't hold it, but can pull back a crossbow string on the move which would be between 100lb-150lb's of tension...okay, that makes no sense. Yes she fell down a flight of stairs, but like 10 minutes later she can use her crossbow like it's nothing, so she's clearly not that injured, again very poor writing along the way.

-There's also a point where you escape from a prison at the beginning of the game, and there are weapons EVERYWHERE, weapon stands with crossbows, swords, bows, halberds, spears, shields....she ignores 100% of it to go find her sling, I've never seen more idiotic writing. Fine you like you sling, I'll leave like an attachment, but there's nothing stopping you from picking up something else to bolster you until you get your stuff.

-The morality again makes no sense overall, its like everyone in the game was purposely written badly. The villains and the protagonist, you don't need to be a bad-ass, but there needs to be some strength and cunning from both sides. Villains need to be threatening and dangerous. Protagonists need to have cunning, what you lack in skill you make up for in other ways. She didn't need to be the most bad-ass person but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, it seems like no effort was put into the story itself. The only threat was the rats, and towards the end the kid learned how to control them so that was thrown out the window.

There are so many moments where I can't understand why people are reacting in the way that they do, you're constantly being attacked by a bunch of people who kill everyone around them, but it's "bad" to kill them in self defense? Didn't these same people deal with the same problem in the last game, didn't they kill a ♥♥♥♥ ton of people?



TL;DR: The graphics are great, the mechanics are mostly fine. The story is trash.

Also like I said earlier fine to the nerds who explained that crossbows can't go through plate armor, but can crossbows magically make it also fall a part? Also apparently you can't make people in plate armor catch on fire either, even when covering them with tar, I didn't realize plate armor gives you +100% fire resist.

So, starting off, it's good to see the game updated.
Pros: Updated graphics, a lot of the clunky mechanics from the first game have been updated so it feels more fluid. The systems feel like they work so the game seems overall decent and modernized. The game overall looks very good and by almost all metrics is improved to look better.
Cons: The combat AI is wonky for both enemies and allies. Also weird facial animations and eye movements at times but this will probably be patched out. It feels like they're having the same issues they had with ME:A but I'm sure at some point they'll fix it, I hope. If you can get past that then the games are pretty good.
Also this is just me, but I hate origin and dislike that this game is linked. It's aggravating to say the least having to have two launchers to play a game, but that's what EA did and there's nothing I can do about it.
