Cyberpunk 2077

After the game has been on sale for so long, I have downloaded it again. Everything in the game is familiar. It tastes like shit. It is said that the optimization bugs have been fixed, but I guess those very famous bugs have been fixed. After reading the update log of 1.3, I realize that the game is a commercial fraud from beginning to end. Witcher3 is a good game. Cdpr has been successful since witcher3 was a great success Since then, the taste of game development has changed. Coerced by capital, the game itself can no longer be polished slowly, but can only be delayed again and again, and finally give players a semi-finished product

Over 1 year later and I still have at least one mission that cannot be completed. City is nice though...

Gameplay feels better and nice quality of life features such as customizing your appearance and driving system changes. Haven't dived deep into the skill tree rework but looking forward to more balance changes. Hope we get more updates like appearance sliders, expanding the Jackie storyline, expanded romance quests, side stories, more accessible open world buildings, etc

I had a pretty great time playing overall; it has an utterly massive, diverse city-scape trailing off into a New Vegas-like badlands, satisfying weapons with a plethora of melee, explosives and firearms and various cars and motorcycles for which to explore every alleyway, street or desert hilltop all laced wonderfully in gorgeous ray-traced lighting (if your card can handle it). As you might seam from this review, the strength of this game definitely stems from the exploration, scenery, art direction and action packed RPG elements; you can level up and upgrade your character based on your playing preference, be it stealthy or tanked out. Character customization is pretty decent with the exception of your name (you're stuck with the name "V") and the main plot, while intricate, isn't as deep as it could have been. But now with what I feel are some of the weakest elements of the game and that is the dialogue and linear personality-building of your character. For the most part you're stuck with a very sarcastic, one-liner-slinging, not realistically speaking punk (surprsing, I know). I often felt like I was in a tug of war of how I wanted to portray my character and how the game intended them to be like as the majority of dialogue options were either passive-aggressive/sarcastic or try-hard one liners befitting of a generic hard boiled detective straight out of a noir comic. Most of your reactions, either to other characters or to story events, feel like how any human being would actually behave in that particular situation. There are exceptions here and there throughout the story but I found it difficult to react to situations as I wanted to or at least like a decent person. Same for the rest of the characters, some have very two dimensional personalities while others have actual depth to their characters such as inner conflicts and motives. As others have complained about, it really feels like a non RPG story adapted into an RPG formula. Still worth checking out.

Got the game since launch, loved it since then, and it just keeps on improving, so glad to see edgerunners give the game more love.
