Cyberpunk 2077

The game went throught developer hell and what came out on the other side, is not worthy of being called an AAA game. Cyberpunk2077 feels like 3 games crashed together, an aesthetically storytelling game, an open world RPG, and a linear missions First Person Shooter. What development hell did to those 3 games, is cut out all the elements of each of those that make it special until you reach a common baseline for all 3, leave all the bugs from each of them, then shipped it out to 8 million customers. The game still has its moments where it is quite enjoyable, unfortunately those are rare and in between the immersion breaking, life ending bugs. I was rather appaled to see that even the Main Story quests are in need of polish. I am rather fortunate that I have a high-end PC, graphically speaking the game looks amazing. We were promised Neo-Kitsch (style & substance) I would of been happy with Neomilitarism (Substance over style) We were delivered broken Kitsch (style over substance)

When this game works, it truly shines. I first tried this game on Steam and couldn't even get the game to run. On GOG it seems to run much better. It is filled with numerous glitches, which are annoying but not initially game breaking. The real issue is that the game has a severe cap on how big a save file can get. Cyberpunk2077 is a loot based game, however looting enemies and crafting will eventually lead to a corrupted save file. CDPR knows about this and does not plan to fix it. There "solution" is to just not loot or craft. If you are considering buying this game, be aware that you may be forced to restart the game over and over and may not be able to even finish it.

Interessante Story mit oftmals spannenden Nebenquests und zumindest teilweise tollen Charakteren wird durch unfassbar viele Bugs und mittelmäßigem Gameplay geplagt. Das Spiel wirkt einfach unfertig - teilweise amateurhaft. So schön die Welt auch sein mag, sie ist nur eine Facade mit der du quasi nicht interagieren kannst und auch nicht solltest. Versucht man dies, fällt vieles auseinander. Achtet man beispielsweise auch nur eine Sekunde länger als nötig auf den Verkehr, fällt einem auf, dass die NPCs gar keine KI haben. Sie folgen einem festgelegten Pfad und sobald du diesen blockierst, ist Feierabend. Das merkt man noch mehr, wenn man mal von der Polizei verfolgt wird...wobei man das eigentlich nicht "Verfolgen" nennen kann, denn die Polizisten können nicht fahren! Es gibt wie gesagt scheinbar keine KI dafür - man kann nicht verfolgt werden. Fährt man 5 Meter ist man das Fahndungslevel sofort los und ist man zu Fuß unterwegs muss man nur kurz sprinten. Bleibt man allerdings stehen und will kämpfen, wird man merken, dass Polizisten einfach direkt hinter einem erscheinen, da sie ja nicht angefahren kommen können - so stirbt man mit sehr hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit. Die Bugs mag man vielleicht fixen können und dann hat man sicher ein solides Spiel was die Quests betrifft - die unfassbar leblose Stadt wird aber wohl bleiben. Sie ist wie ein schön anzusehender Ladebalken auf dem Weg zur nächsten Mission.

The Good: Huge number of side quests with voice overs in a large open world. The Bad: Story is one big railroad-fest, and can be downright depressing sometimes. Overly long cutscenes. Lots of bugs, even on PC. Combat mechanics feel more suited to pen&paper tabletop system than an fps. Recommendations to CDPR: optimize controls for PC. Break up cutscenes with things for the player to DO (remember this is a supposed to be a GAME not a movie). Less railroading through the story, give the player more control over the direction the story takes.

Most people are crying about bugs , they can be fixed , i just want to quickly cover a couple things which i consider major, ive got just under100 hours completed it twice it feels like a shooter with rpg elements not a rpg with shooter elements. The Story : its bloody short cdpr did a full 180 when they said its a bit shorter than the witcher 3 , the main campaign is around 15hours , the witcher campaingn is approx 45-50.The story is good but should have been more flushed out some of the side missions could have made for a compelling narrative as part of the main campaign. the minute it really the sory starts its the end of the game Lifepath: another missed oppertunity for various reasons but ill touch down on 1 , not only short but has no real effect on the story or how people in the world see you , Dragon age origins nailed this perfectly where each (lifepath) lasted about 1 hour flushing out your background and what event led you to your journey and depending on life path would yeild options to change a event , in cyberpunk its a bout 10 minutes at best and does not effect story Romance: This is minor but still annoys me , why can every character just be bi, as a straght it male 1 romance option really (it is a good one though) but still for a adult game i expect more corner girls Driving : cars do not handle very well (fixable im sure) Customisation : What i mean by this is that once you create your chracter ther is no where in the eorld to alter minor lookslike hairstyles , tattoos or piercings there are other things i consider major but ill be here so day so all in all i did enjoy the game but i am very dissapointed in the end product its missed oppertunity to be somthing great
