Cyberpunk 2077

If you don't know the state of the game already, it's very mixed. Cool graphics and okay story, relatively solid gameplay but that's about it. Wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle. What will come off it in the future, we will see, but I hope CDPR have learned and don't rush any further production.

I love this game and would rate it a 5 star game without the constant crashes. After the initial crash disaster it got be better for a while. Now after the current update I get to hear the News anchor for a while and then send my crash report. Hear the News Anchor and send a crash report ... etc Since the game is totally broken I can only give it a 1 star. And I'll probably stay there since this has never been a stable or fluent software.

I have been playing for a while, and I like the story. There are so many issues: 1. Can't see the enemy health bar many times. 2. Cars are not visible until they get close. 3. Health kit does not work immediately. It takes time, and until then, the player is dead. 4. V died so many times while defeating Woodman in hard mode. Sometimes, within a second the whole health was gone. 5. Takes lots of time to load from the last checkpoint. My PC is good, and I have played many games. I don't think it's my computer.

371 after life. 145 hrs invested. It's pretty clear to me now nothing will change the game. No updates will save this empty shell I preordered just to compare life path choices with my friend. He was hyping the game so hard but even though i was the one who actually finished Witcher 3 I still didn't care to play this game. But i bought the game anyways because I cared to journey into this Cyberpunk amusepark with him. Me on my basic ROG gaming laptop that was huffing its way into the grave play Witcher. i was there when the launch broke STEAM downloads because everyone hopped on. It was the next day i finally got to download it. That took hours and failed more times i could count. I had a sshd disc drive and i assume the ssd cache was failing. It litterally took me a day and half to download this game which left me without my prime gaming hardware. It was a pain but i believed from my friend this would be worth it. It was when i got the game to finally begin... with litteral minutes passing to load from the main menu to the game world. The first few times didnt even load on my crumbling laptop so i shoved the graphic settings into the drain to play. I really enjoyed the game afters, I was struggling to into the groove until i hit the 40 hr mark and i was fully immersed in the game as much as the game would allow me. By the n my friend stopped playing suddenly bored by the game while here i was drooling for his next gen 80 fps graphics settings. I didnt care i wanted to play cyberpunk because i loved cyberpunk. It was my glitching slow painful death screen counter as i waited on my fast travel screens slowling cranked jargled music and backgrounds stills. Well im running out of room.

At time of writing, the rumor mill suggests there's some big patch on the horizon. Still, when the game released, it was enough of a mess that I let it lie. Now, over a year later... It's okay. I have no idea what the team was doing for four or five years. There's nothing in this game that another game hasn't done better, aside from maybe ray-tracing. The city is big and (graphically) beautiful. The soundtrack is really good. Beyond that, it just doesn't stand out. That same big, beautiful city is largely an empty shell. It's hollow. There are enough bugs and oddities that, while not game breaking, are annoying and immersion breaking. The story is okay, but nowhere near as good as the Witcher 3, and it doesn't flow nearly as well. You can blast through the main arc quickly, and little of the side content does anything to reinforce it, and frankly, I don't care about these characters nearly as much as those in CDPR's Opus Magnum. I can't help but see this game as a cautionary tale in bad software engineering. CDPR had a bunch of cool idea's, went full steam ahead, then realized there was no way they could deliver, and either cut or severely curtailed what's there and it shows. Everyone already knows about how origins don't really mean anything for instance... Cyberpunk isn't a bad game per se, it's just not revolutionary. In some ways, it's barely mediocre. Character customization is severely limited. I'm not a fan of the Skill/perk system, gun play is passable, not amazing. There aren't even ways to customize appearance or respec (main stats at least) in game. It's depressing, because given what's there, I could envision a stellar implementation. As it is, the story has been told, so even if every bug gets squashed, it still just comes across as half baked. Very disappointing.
