Cyberpunk 2077

9 Hrs after playing , i wish it was delayed again :( !

Despite the delays and promises made for a "polished" product, the end result is far from it. The game itself is marred by a sub par AI and below average driving, hacking and stealth mechanics. This is more like a Alpha version of the game which needs a lot of work to actually make it immersive. Then we talk about the optimzation and graphics which are also disappointing considering my PC meets and exceeds the recommended configuration i only get 30FPS on High settings with Raytracing off. It saddens me that CDPR used their goodwill to drive people into beliveing them and deliberately shipping a unfinished and below average "RPG".

I was expecting this to be an open world RPG, with a living breathing city, full of NPC's that lived their life, went about their day, had agency and motivations, with a crime system that adapted to the player and an intimidating always lurking police force. Megacorporations pulling invisible strings and a pulsing underworld full of runners and revolutionaries. That is not what this game is. Perhaps I was wrong to expect these things, but this was how it was advertised and the non-advertised aspects are due to it's license to the legendary pen & paper RPG cyberpunk. This game is an FPS, with a skilltree and branching storylines. A sort of cross between GTA and Dishonored, but lacking GTA's AI, which is atleast able to drive a car and not spawn law enforcements officers right behind your back. And it lacks Dishonored's focus, polish and tightly designed levels. Yes, Cyberpunk 2077 is riddled with glitches, bugs and crashes, but that is just scratching the surface of the problems with the game. The fact that NPC glitch in and out of a path, walk through each other and get stuck in objects wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the fact that it is ALL they do. You can't talk to them or interact with them in any meaningful way. The fact that shops and buildings are divided into a small number of categories (fast food, clothes, bars mainly) wouldn't be a problem if not for the fact that you can't do anything at those locations (outside of a quest), and the fact that the levelingsystem and skilltree are given very little context within the game until a pretty long way in wouldn't be so bad if your choices when leveling up had any meaningful impact outside of combat and hacking. Conversation choices that are unlocked because of your intelligence or cool rarely have an impact on the outcome of a conversation. I have no doubt that what was released is not what was in CDPR's designdocument 5 years ago, but what is here now is a pretty lackluster experience.

If I could, I'd give this game a fourth star if and when they iron out the *many* bugs, and maybe fifth star when they actually finish the game (which will no doubt include multiple DLC releases). But that's not where we are now. As it stands, it's simply not worth $60. Not even close.

So, I can create a character then I cannot cut my hair, add/remove tattoos, modify my body as I want...yes I want to become a bloody cyborg, problems? Is not cyberpunk a game where I can be whatever I want? Even the bloody witcher, a pre-made character, has opportubity to cut hair...And I cannot visualize braindance I buy, so what's the point of them? Why don't introduce braindance as a mode to solve cases (yes, I am looking at arkham series). You copied a lot of stuff from whactdogs, so you could also take things from RDR2, GTA, Arkham, etc...I hope in some update, guy. For god's sake, damned, I want to cut my hair and remove make up without starting again.
