Cyberpunk 2077: The Board Game - Still Skeptical?

Learn about the 2 phases of the game, and how they try to work together in order to bring the game together as a whole. I was skeptical of the timed aspect for sure. Are you? I'm here to share a few points about what the game is trying to do, and let you know where I stand with Cyberpunk 2077: The Board Game.

Yes I'm still skeptical. The hype, fomo and marketing push doesn't work on me for this game.

[Johan_Cohen]

We are all skeptical about the game due to the Fake Hype, CMON Fomo with campaign exclusives and very simplistic gameplay loop…. But now, we are ALSO skeptical that this wasn’t a sponsored video.

I originally backed it, but ended up cancelling my pledge. I felt the gameloop was too repetitive and the co-op elements to simplistic and not really thematic enough to keep me wanting to play more. I understand they need to be this way for the timed element to work, but cyberpunk 2077 was crying out for a deep rpg like board game experience

[virgilalighieri]

There's too much artificial buzz for me NOT to be skeptical. Whenever there's this much ad saturation I start to wonder if they're overcompensating for a mediocre game. I'll wait for the reviews.

The problem with these types of big ticket kickstarter games is that the boxes are absolutely massive and take up a huge amount of room.

[tsangarisjohn]

Really looking forward to receiving the game! Went “all in” with some extra goodies.

[TheBloodrian]

Thanks man, it's helpful. Usually I don't enjoy timed games but will give this one a try. Also it may be worth to have diverse games for different moods

[saiksaikatai]

I am sorry but no.
have you seen the price point and the marketing campaign?

where is the tabletop simulator access to test the game for everyone?
as soon as they release it people will realize the price point is not worth the price point so they won't.

where are the developers video detailing each type of missions?

WHERE IS THE CYBERPUNK THEME IN THE MECANISMS?

this is a rainbow six tactical commando game. the theme can be switch for the heist/thief game without changing anything!

and the game loop? making you're way from A to B fighting obstacles. where is the videos presenting the enemy variety.

even as cyberpunk2077 experience everything was turn into cash grab:
the player doesn't need to play as the trauma team. the player needs to have medical assistance during or/and between according to the traumateam tier he can subscribe to with his money.
but well.... they needed to sell us MINIS!
Where is the netrunner well crafted experience? everything is fighting.
where are the intelligent weapon? where is the specific game mechanic created for sword? parry? execution?

this game has some good ideas (card paly and level up) but overall is plagued by a license conversion-to-money vision.

I was initially a backer but I've since cancelled my pledge. The significant increase in cost to ensure you receive all content and being unconvinced by the solitaire mode I've decided to skip this one.

I love Cyberpunk but I'll stick with my TTRPG.

If there was an option utilising good quality tokens or acrylic standees for a more reasonable price I'd probably still bite the bullet but i also don't need the loss of more shelf space to this monster.

[Vardakula]

There is barely a game under there. Their games have been too light for me, gateway. No problem with the game, its just not for me

[andreikoenig]

Witcher OW most favorite game? you lost me there, cant take it seriously after that without getting shill vibes

[stebro]

I was never skeptical. The game as it stands is precisely what I was hoping for - I love my deep, crunchy games too, but I didn't want it for CP2077. I trust the people who have actually played it over the overly cynical commenters here, on other YouTube channels and especially on the campaign comments page.

[fundude]

After the Dark Souls board game Kickstarter experience, I'm cold on any Kickstarter that requires more than $25 to buy in.

[Jan_Iedema]

I just want those miniatures to paint. If the game just happens to be fun well win-win for me.

[ColoniaGamer]

I'm backing the project (actually decided to go all-in today), but I have concerns regarding the solo mode, have you tried it solo? If so, which were your impressions?

[jettryker]

I love Project Elite and the theme. I’m all in! 🎉

[chamamemestre]

Over 6 million now. And the all in box is 400 USD...and people are flipping about the PS5 Pro? This is just a FOMO scam. I was "happy" when the deluxe box was all there was. Now? Multiple boxes and FOMO related content that they guarantee won't sell afterwards? Easy pass. No thanks.

[Casey]

I am a HUGE cyberpunk 2077 video game fan. But the board game kickstarter campaign does just show too little information about the gameplay and campaign mode. I'll take the smalles package without any addons, or skip it completely.

[evanbotics]

This totally looks, feels and sounds like a paid review.

[SeerMagicX]

I don't like coops or dungeon crawls. But like you, I love Witcher Old World. And Cyberpunk is one of my favorite video games of my lifetime. So I'm in. I'm actually hopeful the real time element might remove the things I don't like about dungeon crawls and coops.
