Cyberpunk 2077

I love this game but I hate the many bugs in it. Pros: Great storytelling (CDPR really excels at telling great stories and this is no different), Immersive world (the design sights sounds and goings on of the city make you really feel a part of it), Intertersting Characters. Good FPS Mechanics (peeking from cover or around corners is very intuitive and the wide variety of weapons is good), Great Voice Acting and Facial Animations (when they work). Keanu is amazing! Cons: Many annoying and distracting bugs (eg: floating cigarettes, slow texture loading, characters mouths do not work in cars for some reason). Cars feel a little floatly to drive and seem too bouncy when driving over uneven surfaces. The different backgrounds do not seem to have effected much difference in the story apart from some extra dialogue options. I expected missions or branches in the story specific to your background but this does not seem to be the case. Also there is no day/night cycle for NPCs Overall the game really seems like it was realeased too soon. I think they should have pushed it back until next year and done some more play testing to indentify the bugs.

So far I've enjoyed the main storyline but the world is just non responsive to what a player does. Traffic and pedestrian AI is nowhere to be seen, can't pick a fight with a stranger, pedestrians just crouch in one spot when something happens. Police spawns behind you when a stray bullet hits a civilian. Nothing interesting is happening in the world when you stop to watch. I've spent more than 10 hours walking around Night City just to see people walking back and forth between two points. Very little interaction between npcs, I was hoping to see an improved version of Euphoria being used to simulate npcs and bring the city to life. Traffic just stops when you park in the middle of the road, npcs just sit there when being shot at in their cars, or they get out and crouch. At the moment this game is good for the main quest only. So many little jobs which involve clearing small groups of enemies confuse the proper side missions, I feel no pull to invest time in these. The Witcher's world wasn't massively interactive but had so many stories to uncover, here it's like a check-list to clear on the map. I thought the world is missing a few functions like a portable radio, a phone with interesting functions, auto drive, futuristic webpages, preview clothing items, more radio djs and tv shows that give insights into the city life. I am disappointed to see that what made The Wither special is missing outside of the main quest line. The main quest beats and moments are great if somewhat on the rails some of the time.

Win 7 64bit, 16GB RAM, GTX1650, SSD Installed, didn´t start at all Updated video driver, got about 5 seconds of intro FMV, then crashed Completely wiped video drivers, reinstalled, got into character creation, froze Lowered resolution to a ridiculously tiny window, finished character creatio, chose Nomad, then froze. Requested refund - Nothing so far. I wanted to support you, this was my first game I bought on GOG, so you would get all the money, but no. BUY ON STEAM. They refund for garbage, no questions asked.

Ehhh, where do I start? So far, despite the technical issues, I have enjoyed the game. It is a good game, it's oozing potential and charm but, in good conscience, I can't recommend this game. At the very least, not yet. Lets start with the most obvious problem - technical state. For some lucky people like me, it is playable and stable with some minor bugs that are more annoying than gamebreaking, for some less lucky like my friend, it's an absolute nightmare of unplayability and 3 dead save files due to bugged out quest conflicts. This is an issue of being released too early, and I have faith that CDPR will fix this in time. Buy it then! It is also not an RPG. This is one of the post-Origin Assassin Creed games. It's almost funny how similar these games are with randomized numbers loot, perk trees that don't majorly affect your game, and a beautifully made map full of side content to bulk up play time. In other words, gameplay wise this is your run of the mill open world blockbuster. Sad part is - all around I can see evidence of all the ideas CDPR tried to make before they were forced to cut it out due to time constraints and replaced with rudimentary systems to have a game to release. This includes the simplicity of perks, trivial nature of skills, basic crafting system with broken resource economy, lack of basic QoL stuff, bad balancing, etc. Now, the story and writing is actually excellent, and it's what keeps me playing (that and the amazing Night City). But herein also lies a problem. The game is advertised as an RPG but the story is a giant on the rails set piece. That means that your skills, perks and starting backstory only amounts to as much as flavour text during dialogue. On a first playtrough it's fun and helps be immersed, but on a second playtrough the illusion is broken. The story may differ, but it's the same V who plays it. The saddest part is - bugs and gameplay can be fixed but the story will never be a true RPG. Promises were broken.

First of all the Story is great. I really like the dialogue options you get in the game and how it was made. You can walk and answer the dialogue. I never saw something like this in a other game. The loading Screen is great. I have a SSD, it just takes a few seconds and I'm in game Now the negative points... The performance is shit. I have a Ryzen 5 2600x, a RX5700 and 16 GB RAM. I get arround 40 Fps while driving and 60 while walking (which is ok). It doesn't matter which graphic options I use, the performance is the same everytime and the game looks nearly the same at all options. Only on ultra I get 40 Fps while walking. Another problem is, that there is no Vsync 60 Fps option. It is just 59 Fps or lower. Why??? In my Radeon Software I choose the Vsync option, so there is no tearing. The graphic looks like a game from 2015 or maybe 2014. GTA V looks better and it was one of the last titles for PS3!!! While driving, many elements are popping up in the world and are reloading. I'm asking myself why... All in all I hope for Patches... many Patches. Especially for the performance. I don't think that they will change the graphic or give it a update but if they can do it, they should. At last I wanna say something for the base console players on PS4 and Xbox One. What you guys did to them in really not nice. You took their money while knowing that the game doesn't run on the console. It's a shame. An artificial hype was generated and many fanboys protect this game. I really looked forward for this game but I was disappointed. I will definitely not buy your next game and will never preorder a game again.
