Late night host Conan O' Brien makes an appearance on the latest episode of the Good Game, Nice Try podcast to review Cyberpunk 2077. The Conan host talks first impressions, questions certain aspects, and lets the audience know if Cyberpunk 2077 is something he'll ultimately try.
Developer CD Projekt Red's long-awaited RPG finally saw its release on December 10 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Next-gen console version are set to arrive at some point in 2021. Cyberpunk 2077 is selling extremely well, beating a PC games sales record just set by World of Warcraft: Shadowlands.
A YouTube video highlights the Conan-specific segment of the Good Game, Nice Try episode. Hosts Sonja Reid (aka OMGitsfirefoxx) and Aaron Bleyaert give Conan a lukewarm introduction, spawning more than a little sarcasm from the redhead. He's then presented with Cyberpunk 2077's cover art, followed by clips of the game's 2019 E3 story trailer. Mr. O' Brien's main issue off the bat is with V's fashion choices. He asks if the samurai jacket collar serves any actual function, or if it's just entirely poor taste in clothing. The montage of footage leads Conan's confusion to only increase until he makes the revelation of there being "cyber" and "punk" elements (who would've thought) in Cyberpunk 2077.
Conan is later asked what modifications he would make to his character in the world of Night City in the roughly eight-minute clip. Always giving "dad" responses to video games, rather than weapons or superhuman abilities, he just wants a "proportional body" Aaron Bleyaert attempts to give Conan a brief summarization of the game's main objectives, only to have it mockingly reiterated back. While not totally convinced, Conan ends the video resolving to at least give it a try. Gamers can check out the entire podcast episode, which features in-game character and game writer Alanah Pearce on most podcast platforms.
Conan popping into more gaming content is certainly a welcome surprise for fans. Many gamers are still holding out for the return of Clueless Gamer, the popular video game segment that was supposed to be getting its own show, but unfortunately has been nowhere to be found since 2019.
Cyberpunk 2077 appears to be a rousing success, but it's not all good news. While hitting record-breaking sales, the game is also causing some negative numbers. CD Projekt Red's stock is reportedly dropping due to numerous bugs, glitches, and other launch issues amid the game's release. However, a new hotfix for Cyberpunk 2077 has just been released to improve its performance.
Cyberpunk 2077 is on PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One with PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions coming in 2021.
