Cyberpunk 2077 player having a great time... on Stadia??!

The game runs great on everyone's favorite cloud gaming platform.

Shantynews

Cyberpunk 2077 is having a less than stellar launch on console platforms like Xbox One and PS4, but there is one super cool place to play the game... Google Stadia!

While many players are scrambling to secure refunds for their buggy copies of Cyberpunk 2077, dozens of Google Stadia players are having the times of their lives with the basic bitch cloud gaming platform. Sure, you can probably build a PC with better specs than Stadia, but wouldn't you rather pay a subscription fee for the right to buy Cyberpunk? 

We reached out to a smug Google Stadia Cyberpunk 2077 player, and they had this to say: "It has been almost a year, but I finally have something about Stadia to brag about. Cyberpunk 2077 actually runs pretty well, granted I am a rich ass mofo with gigabit Internet speeds. I feel bad for all those poors that can't afford the faster Internet required to run Google Stadia. What's wrong with them anyway? Also, what's the deal with wealth disparity? I mean come on..."

The Google Stadia controller is revolutionary and kinda crap.
The Google Stadia controller is revolutionary and kinda crap.

While this guy might be a total douchebag, he isn't wrong. Google Stadia runs Cyberpunk 2077 materially better than PS4 and Xbox One consoles. This is the biggest win in the history of Google's streaming game platform, and they should take pride in this moment, before the entire division is ultimately shutdown next year.

      Had a few really great Gta5 Zen moments cruising around the city with choice songs thumping. Sneaked a mission that took an hour only for the end guy to say 'you come in here blasting away' and open fire on me immediately. The delamaine side quests are amazing.
      Yes, it crashes every couple hours of play. Usually ending my session and for some reason keeps resetting the video settings.
      I still want to do some shooting range and racing, it's a huge, huge game. Playing on ps5 installed to ssd.

          The starting car is just ass and I think that's where a lot of people got their opinions on driving. I have a nice car and I can drift it around corners pretty good with a keyboard. Bikes too.

            good to hear. I think I saw to streamers start the game with the keyboard driving and they look really bad like they were running in to stuff.

            they looked so bad at it that I suspected it was partially something with the game. but maybe yeah bad car and they just don't ever drive with keyboard in other games.

            as i mentioned... battlefield and GTA games, and others, I'm all about the keyboard driving

      I'm just going from one side mission to the next for some woman. Each one is different and it's super fun. I don't even know where I am right now but I just open the map and there's always another job like 100 feet away, and I'm making money and leveling up pretty good!! I got some augment that lets me shoot rockets out of my hands now too.

        I like that there's lots of stuff to do but I wish they found a way to pace how it came in. Every time I go to do a mission I get calls about 7 more as I pass stuff. I also do not give a FUCK about the 15 cars nearby that are for sale. They should have exposed that differently, like maybe through some car sales web page in the in-game net or something.

      It's going great, honestly. Both the gameplay and quest writing continue to positively evolve the deeper into the game I get. Gameplay especially is just getting better and better as I unlock more perks, get better gear/upgrade my cyberdeck etc. I am pretty much a cyber wizard now, I can murder rooms full of thugs from several blocks away at this point. Guns are for the simple folk!

      Just sitting down and clearing out all the ? and ! icons in a particular area is proving to be just as rewarding as the Witcher 3, lots of really great little slices of narrative (often very slight - a positive) and any opportunity to explore the city is a joy.

      I'd probably still give it a 7/10 here at about 35 hours played. It doesn't really have a singular surprise up its sleeve, but it's a certified Fun Video Game IMO.

          Yeah I have a tech pistol that shoots like 3 bullets at a time and can be charged up to 100% via perks. Also sets people on fire.

      I am warming up to it. It's hard coming off of a game like HADES where I have been spending a lot of time, because it is not a jump in do a thing and jump out. You have to spend time in that world for a pay off. Still, I find myself thinking about the world and want to get back to it. I'm still super early in the game though. I have no interest in the melee combat (it felt rough in that "tutorial") so I want to use a pistol and be a cyber cowboy.

      Can you shoot the tires in this game? I had the early scripted shootout while in a moving car moment and my first attempt died because I was shooting at the tires. The second time I shot at the dudes in the back before Jackie prompted me to shoot the driver, and it was ok.

        Agreed. I haven’t played in three days because even though I technically had some time, I knew I had to really be “on” and paying attention to enjoy it, but I’ve only been in the mood for simpler fare. CP 2077 feels like a game where you really need to take your time and soak everything in.

      fired it up for the first time yesterday for about an hour and hit several bugs...but overall it seems to be ok? it's scratching the "looting" itch i miss from Skyrim/Fallout 4

        December 16, 2020 2:22 PM

        yeah right now it's like borderlands + GTA 5 for me. lots of loot, crafting, but then lots of open world driving and spontaneous combat decisions.

        I really want a new fucking apartment and I don't know why. the "home base upgrades" aspect of games is so appealing to me and that was SO FUN in GTA.

          What platform do you have this on and how much have you played? You seem to have a real hate boner for the game. On PC I haven't seen half of those bugs. Being completely honest here.

            December 16, 2020 3:48 PM

            Same, on PC here I've had a few visual glitches where textures were Z-Fighting, and I had a glitch where I couldn't switch to a chase cam on a vehicle.

            That's really it for anything notable.

        You're putting your gun away right? They do get mad if you stick around too long or if you get too close to a taped up crime scene. I have never had them aggro when I help them? Maybe you zeroed a civilian in the fray.

      There's actually a lot of people who can't get the game to run in 4k even though they are paying for stadia pro:

      https://mobilesyrup.com/2020/12/14/stadia-limited-cyberpunk-1080p-gameplay-reopen-game/

      Google says when it's really busy your game night drop to 1080p. It's kind of shitty but I personally have not had this happen with stadia.

      I'm having a really good time. Focusing on the good parts, the big main and exceptional side quests and characters with the most care put into them. Avoiding the weak spots, all the open world encounters and minor side stuff.

      Will return for a second playthrough next year, on a new PC, for a more thorough playthrough one the game has a year of polish.
