Cyberpunk 2077

I am a huge fan of the witcher 3, spending hours in that world, with each quest carefully designed and making me wanting explore more of the world. Sadly, cant say the same thing for cyberpunk, a world that made me tired fairly fast making me questioning what would be the point in doing all the activities that it have. Story is rushed, characters are never explored, quests are more like "come here and kill those enemies" than story rich content, and the "branch" that you can choose is more how you will complete that quest(stealth or bullet hell like) than what choices of dialogue you will choose. Another beef i have is with the animations and scenes. Ripperdock modifications are nothing more than a change in the inventory, not at all the cinematic gruesome scene i was expecting after the first story mission. They spent extensive time designing a sex scene but couldnt make a scene where you replace your arms or all your bones? Hell, even Red Dead 2, gave us animations on consuming food and drinks instead only of effects showing in your character status like cyberpunk choose to do. The game is a lot like Deus Ex, and for the fans of that game, they will be right at home with cyberpunk quest and gameplay. But for those who wanted more of a witcher 3, with a charismatic protagonist, npcs that you care about, quest with story rich content, it will be huge disappointment. Wait for a discount than try it. It is not a game i would be picking at full price. Good -Great visuals -combat gameplay -you can choose how to aproach a mission, stealth, or full on combat Bad -bland quests with little story in them. More like "come here and kill those guys". Most(if not all) of them you do only to get money and experience. -Rushed story -A LOT of bugs -Not a lot of dialogues to choose from, becoming linear from early game -protagonist and NPCs that you dont really care about -game become repetitive fairly fast -Huge world, but with a content that make you tire of it fairly fast

Pros - I can't find any. Cons: - The "music" consists of noise and screeches, or just plain trash passing as music. - Bugs galore. I've played EA's with less bugs. - Glitches that get you stuck inside walls - "Options" that sum up to "yes, yes, yes, yes" (I've seen this one somewhere else... something to do with fallout or something). - No way to abandon quests forced down your throat. - Graphics are all over the place, like Johnny. Great one moment, puking themselves the next. - Sound is horrible (no, downgrading my sound rig is NOT an option. Fix it). - It's Saints Row V, with better graphics (if you call TAA "good") and a character that we might as well just make male and look like Johnny. - I wanted to play CP2077, not CP2020. Considering to refund this mess. Keep this game to PnP, where it belongs.

I've played for some 30 hours now but can not be bothered to continue, the main story is not that compelling and I do not find V interesting, I don't care how the story ends anymore. None of the choices you make are actually meaningfull and only a few of the characters are memorable. During so many occasions I wanted to do something very different to what the game forces you to do, the decisions V takes make no sense to me and I just don't understand his motivations. The best part of this game is the amazing realization of the city's visuals and sounds, however after a few hours you realize it is essentially empty, only filled with generic kill/gather quests that get boring quick. This game could become good after another 1-2 years of development and adding all the features that were promised. I will end with some miscellaneous problems that are not deal-breakers by themselves but put together make for a painful experience: 1. The control scheme on PC is clearly meant for a controller. 2. About 8 CTDs and one BSOD in 30 hours. 3. Terrible A.I., especially out in the world. 4. Cars drive unrealistic. 5. Gun-play is mediocre. 6. Large amounts of in-game bugs like getting stuck in scanner-mode, being detected by enemies on different floors, .... 7. You character's backstory does not matter. 8. Even on a high-end PC with an RTX card the graphics glitches are numerous and noticeable.

The game has a beautiful cyberpunk designed world and even a good storytelling, but you will not find anything else to make you feel attached to it. Extremely glitchy, lacking basic features (as an AI for the NPCs or even a way to customise your character after you create it) and just not optimised if you don't have the latest rig, which goes all against what this game promised for a long time. Wait for a sale after they release a lot of DLCs to make the game at least get close to what it was marketed as before the release.

Patch 1.04 managed to make the game both look and perform worse. Insane amount of bugs. Really disappointed in the quality as a fan since the witcher 2.
