Wish this had Multiplayer

[Shambley's Husband]

I have thought how awesome to play this game would be. But for those of us with a partner
gaming is not as much fun unless together. I wish these game company's would meet the needs for those in relationships by offering multiplayer coop.With more and more family's out there often many look for that game that offers a experience for two.

MP was planned for this game, but CDPR had to focus all their resources into fixing the game at launch to the point where significant features were dropped or changed. MP, unfortunately, happened to be a feature that needed to be dropped so they could focus on fixing bugs and glitches.

Of all the things this game needs:
-complete remodelling of collision so you don't come to a complete stand still as your toe hits a 2cm tall pebble
-smoother or outright removed transitioning animations so sliding, swapping weapons, interacting, entering/exiting vehicles and everything in-between is more responsive and less janky
-general performance improvements

The thing that this AAA Open-World RPG does not need is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ multiplayer.

Why does everyone think adding multiplayer/co-op to a game somehow makes it "better" or "more fun"?

[nicks husband coach]

they aint adding it but i think they are going to add it in cyberpunk 2

That would explain why there's a folder labelled "multiplayer" in the game files...

Some games are better with friends... Some aren't... Some of the missions in Cyberpunk would probably make for a good coop game. Doing the Heist, Payday style with a friend or two instead of NPC Jackie? I can see the appeal... But yeah, I don't play open world RPGs for multiplayer/coop content... I play them when I'm feeling antisocial lol.

No thanks. I don't think this game ever needs multi-player and would always prefer they took the development time to add more of anything: guns, cars, missions, joytoy options etc. I'd take 10 more bootycall call texts over mp.

Because in many cases it does.

Glad this doesn't have multiplayer. It'd be a different game, having to change everything around to fit that.

Problem with that is that the whole structure of the Heist is about V - everyone else dies, V ends up with the Plot Device stuck in her neck, and then gets ganked by Dexter. The entire way it plays out is for a single player. (ditto with the rest of the plot, it's all about V's personal journey to deal with the chip.) I just don't see this story being something with multiple players (just like any game with a singular Chosen One at the center of the plot.)

Cyberpunk 2077 would have never gotten a multiplayer mode even if multiplayer was never cancelled.

“Hold up. What? That doesn’t even make any sense!”

The multiplayer mode that was in the works (before it was cancelled) was a standalone product would have had its own separate Steam storepage as made clear by a CDPR investor Q&A way back in 2020.

The Cyberpunk 2077 as you know it (ie. this game) would have never received a multiplayer mode EVER meaning the singleplayer campaign of this game would remain forever singleplayer only.

because playing co-op with your friends is generally more fun than alone. not saying this game needs it but that's the idea
