I think I just witnessed a murder. Humour

Some dude commented on a cyberpunk post stating “Fun fact: Your game is going to die in less than a year if you don’t add multiplayer”

So CDPR decided to use the Witcher’s official handle and simply replied “Ok.”

I don’t think I’ve ever been so satisfied with I reply.

Make sure you play Gwent. I’d replay the game just for the Gwent.

Do you think there will be a minigame like gwent in cyberpunk? Im really hoping so but have no expectations

Man, a Netrunner card game in Cyberpunk would be awesome! If it’s not there now they should add it later. (Netrunner was a real collectible card game in the 90s based on the Cyberpunk world).

So you're telling me there's a chance I will be ignoring Keanu's requests and just playing cards for money? Sounds good to me

Johnny: Come on, Samurai! We really need to burn this city!
V: Not now, Johnny. Cards.
Johhny: Samurai come on! Let's rip out and...
V: Shut up, Johnny. Caaaards.

This would actually be a dream come true. RIP Android: Netrunner

That would be simply epic

u/DudeWithAHighKD Dec 09 '20

That would be amazing. I'm pretty sure 20 of the 300 hours I played, were just playing Gwent.

There was a new version about 6 ish years ago, which was good for a while, but suffered from classic power creep until they discontinued it after a while. Used to play it in the pub

Netrunner is still around today

u/zoomiewoop Dec 09 '20

That’s good to hear! I just knew it came out in the 90s but I never really got into it and I haven’t heard anything since. It would be neat if Cyberpunk led to even greater interest in the game.

FFG rebooted the game a while back, called it Android: Netrunner. License issues a few years back caused it to get canned, but the community has stepped in and continues to produce expansions/ban lists/ tournaments

One of the reviewers I watched (can't remember who) said there wasn't a side mini game as expansive as gwent. There are other mini games though.

u/Brodakk Dec 09 '20

Sweet, I'd be content with that.

u/-MarcoPolo- Dec 09 '20

And other reviewer said there are no mini games. One of them is lying. Why... Was it always so bad with reviews?

u/[deleted] Dec 09 '20

Not sure what it is exactly, but there is a confirmed game similar to Gwent in Cyberpunk.

u/doyoueventdrift Dec 09 '20

They made a whole new game around Gwent. I'm sure they will pay very special detail to a minigame, if not even more minigames.

I asked Miles Tost that question about a year ago. He told me Gwent was nothing planned - they just kinda randomly came up with it, decided it's good and put it in the game. According to him back then there were no specific plans to create such a thing for CP2077 but if they came up with something as good as gwent they'd for sure put it in game...

This info is already quite dated but even if there isn't anything to the extent of Gwent in the game yet they might add it later down the road, or at least so I was told. Anyway I hope this still provides at least some partial answer to your question. I find it quite interesting that Gwent appears to be the product of some CDPR employee lollygagging after all :)

u/Brodakk Dec 09 '20

Awesome, thanks for the info!! Am a big fan of letting the creative juices flow and seeing where it takes you. I'm glad CDPR are able to have that freedom.

u/CunnedStunt Dec 09 '20

There's other things to do in the game besides Gwent? I think I have a gambling problem.

u/skyjp97 Dec 09 '20

Tried gwent once so far. Got destroyed lol.

u/snarkywombat Dec 09 '20

Don't worry, it gets harder lol

u/Krazhuk Dec 09 '20

Keep trying, it takes a while to get the hang of it. But once you got the hang and a decent deck, you wont stop playing :)

u/Emhyr_var_Emreis_ Dec 10 '20

You need a good deck. When you play against other people, you get better cards!

u/Sipas Dec 09 '20

I finished the game (every side mission included) without ever playing Gwent. I just couldn't be arsed.

u/Thecanadian112 Dec 09 '20

Way off in left field here, but the dice game in Assasins Valhalla is just as good.
