Cyberpunk 2077

TL;DR - DON'T BUY THIS SCAM! 1. Optimization is ass 2. LOD is ass (you would love disappearing 2d cars that never come anywhere) 3. AI is non-existent (They got $ 7 million from Polish government for this) 4. Driving physics are ass 5. Shooting mechanics is ass 6. Loot-a-maniac loads of crap for inventory micro management 7. RPG choices are almost non-existent 8. LIES LIES LIES about the "deep world" 9. Beautiful visual done by outsource companies. 10. E3 video was fake and they knew it while postponing releases and at the end released shit. CDRP CEOs and board you are a disgrace! You paid shit to your devs and were aiming for end year bonuses. Hope you get fired for a better management team

So you decided to blame us, the public, for your corporate decision to be part of a tyrannical governments social credit system? Quite fancy wordplay you had. It would be interesting to hear Mike Pondsmiths thoughts on something like this. I can almost hear his smooth voice going "Now why would they do this, after everything?" and then continue on to make a nice storyhook for a tabletop game. But to be serious now, Guys and gals working there. How do you see your company going next 50 years? After your execs decided to censor a game that made a joke about a head of tyrannical state? Do you think you will be able to proudly say you worked for the best gaming company ever? On your death beds, what will you regret? Thanks for all the experiences so far, but this is the crossroads where I will leave you.

The main story is great and engaging but everything else is a marketing stunt and a borefest

+ Night City Map Design - Very Buggy - Performance (Older Games with better Graphics have more FPS) - Medicore, clunky and boring gunplay - Loot and crafting system - No 3rd Person - Interface - Key binding - KI and Physics a total disaster (GTA, RDR2, Farcry 5 much much better) - Feels not like a RPG, no immersion for me (Wooden dialogue, forgettable Characters...)

Cyberpunk 2077 is quite pretty, runs smoothly on my hardware and has an engaging main story. Yes there are bugs, but the majority are floaty assets and minor graphical glitches. The problem is it only has the one, identical story. -The adaptive story line that was promised doesn't exist, choices have zero affect on the game other than triggering progression and picking one of 5 fixed endings. Some of which feel...hollow... -The 3 'life-paths' alter nothing other than the first 10 minutes of the game. After the intro, you're the same identical street kid no matter what you choose. They only provide rare conversation choices that don't affect the game in any way, and in some cases trigger an identical reply to another non-faction choice. -Crafting is mostly pointless, as dps is bound to your level. -The filler side quests are more akin to an Ubisoft game than The Witcher. With the vast majority requiring a simple go here, shoot and loot. Only a few 'major' quests have actual story/lore behind them. -The AI in game is pretty average. Particularly when it comes to driving. Get on a bike and every NPC around you starts screaming and running around. Driving sensibly around the streets and NPC's will dive from the sidewalk in front of your car (oh, insurance fraud) in an attempt to 'avoid' you. -Main NPC's have deep, engaging stories... Until you're done with them and they become irrelevant, vanishing into mediocrity. -Character customisation is pretty but overall limited. It's not possible to create either of the 2 V's in the previews, as you're limited to preset body choices rather than Skyrim-esque dynamic sliders. -Instead of implementing actual armour and having costume slots, if you want to max out your armour, you're required to constantly swap out mismatching clothing. Going for a 'look' sacrifices armour and stats as it's unlikely you'll find quality gear that suits. Cyberpunk 2077 is a solid game, but don't go into it expecting everything we were told.
