Cyberpunk 2077

Let me start off by saying I appreciate the hard work that has been done by the developers and artist of this game, being in the industry myself I have utmost respect for what you have done and see the passion poured into this game. That being said upper management failedyou and killed this game, hyped it up and promised some amazing features that are just not in the game. The ground work seem to be laid out but clearly this game needed way more time to get features implemented and bugs crushed. I can look past bugs because they can always be ironed out, but features being cut or the lack of basic systems that have already been done right in other games, but are clearly not present kill this game for me. You sold me on an awesome idea of a world and yet I have brain dead NPC's, garbage warrant system... they dont even chase you in cars!! Very lack luster character creation where I only can see my character in 3rd person driving or looking in a mirror( Whats the point of character creation then) Lack luster hacking system in a world filled with tech lore (nothing compared to the videos we were shown). I get the other cut feature like wall running and spider bot, its a shame but given more time I feel the talented developers could of worked more stuff out and implemented features. CD Project Red, its a dam shame that you resorted to this level, understandable because money talks but step back and think if you just listen to your developers didnt crunch them to death, followed your own saying "Ready when its ready" lol you'd have solidify yourself as an industry Titan and would have the backing of alot of gamers but you lost alot of that good will. I bought this game on GOG for the sole reason that my money would make it to your hands, given the light of things I will think twice, or in perepective avoid pre ordering until the final verdict.

3 to 3.5 stars for me, not sure about people having issues with the games preformancen. Mine runs well enough a max settings. Been glitched into the ground or walls a few time when trying to hack a teminal, save often. As for controls thats what we get when developers try to cross platform a game. AS I see it the, most of the games problems stem is that attemp at cross compatibility.

alot of things need work like the cops and the NPC civilians

Hard to put it in another way, but this game is simply not finished. By this point you probably saw the flying cars, t-posing npcs and all kind of dumb stuff, but that's not the main issue with the game (as if naming a game "next gen" and "revolutionary" while being this mess of bugs isn't bad enough). I've had several issues where quests wouldn't progress, leaving me softlocked into a building or on a state where I have no control of my character. Random explosions kill you instantly outside of combat. You take fall damage by walking the streets. Sometimes the character gets stuck into the "hacking" state. It goes on. By the time you have to reload a save 3 times to see if you can progress a quest that bugged this much, you really stop caring. AI is ridiculously bad. Like, Witcher 3's AI was nothing to write home about, but that's the issue: this game intends to be some sort of "living city with real npcs" (not my words, but CDPR's), which is a straight up lie. In this particular aspect, this game didn't improve upon nothing on TW3, and it's even a step back in some aspects. Stealth is broken: sometimes enemies can see you from within walls, sometimes you kill someone right beside then and they will just keep repeating the same line. Enemies won't search for you while in stealth. In combat, if you go behind someone's cover they might just give up fighting. In short, this game is shamefully not finished, broken and a huge disappointment. It is not groundbreaking or revolutionary in any single way like they've promissed, and the only thing that saves it are the superb performance of characters like female V, Panam, Jackie and others. This is part where you see that, under all this mess, there was a game that was rushed and whose focus probably got lost in exchange for fluff and deceiving market. A techincal mess, a disappointing game in general. Gotta wonder how these are the same guys who made TW3.

While the game in its current state is extremely enjoyable, there are still a large number of things that had been advertised differently prior to launch, hopefully these things will be fixed in the future. This certainly diminished a lot of trust towards cdpr from a lot of people and me.
