Cyberpunk 2077

This game is a masterpiece of storytelling, and I think alot of the hate comes from people that wanted the game to be something that it wasn't. This game is an experience. Its not GTA. Its not Skyrim or Mass Effect. Its CP 2077. Now people saying "there is no role playing in this RPG" are sort of right, but also very wrong. Its true that you get to pick from three initial backgrounds and that they ultimately play very little role in the rest of the game. Its also true that the main narrative is largely locked in a linear fashion, but to say its "on rails" is hyperbole. Not every mission has multiple outcomes, but some do. This is to preserve the narrative experience, and what an experience it is. I played this game when it first came out on my PC via GOG and I truly do feel bad for the folks that encountered game breaking bugs. Fortunately, I only encounted a minor glitches and nothing game breaking. I was able to enjoy the game and see it for what it was. I wasn't part of the hype train of people that thought CP 2077 was going to be bigger than GTA V so I went into the game with a clean set of eyes. The "role playing" in the game is really choosing how you interact with Johnny. I grew to actually like him. I actually sort of miss him since my game finished. The characters are REALLY well written. I got the "bad" ending (no spoilers here) and I legit had to choke back tears when Judy called me in the end credits. The game put me into a real life depression for a solid week. Full on existential crisis. Thats how well written the game is. Sometimes I go on Youtube and listen to the OST for the game but "never fade away" still hurts to listen to. I know its so stupid to feel so sad about fake characters in a game but thats why I called it an experience. I still feel like I let them all down even though I know they aren't real. I have NEVER had a game hurt me IRL like that. Bottom line, 10/10 game, would experience soul crushing depression again

Jetzt mit Patch 1.6 ist das Spiel zwar nicht perfekt, aber hey welches Spiel ist das schon. Die Grafik ist einfach nicht von dieser Welt, ein Genuss wo man hin schaut, Vor allem bewundere ich wieder mal den Mut von CD Projekt ein Spiel ab 18 zu machen. Für mich ist das hier ganz großes Kino, wenn man in diese Welt eintaucht und einfach der Story folgt. Wenn du nicht auf der Suche nach Bugs bist, sondern wo du dich als nächstes einhacken kannst, allgemein auf Action oder das Cyberpunk Setting stehst, kommst du um diese ungeschliffene Perle einfach nicht rum! Ich freue mich jetzt erst richtig auf das kommende AddOn und hoffe zutiefst das CD Projekt auch weitere geniale Spiele im Cyberpunk Universum auf diesen hohem Niveau macht, vielleicht dann auch mit etwas mehr Feinschliff bitte. ;) :)

und habe (fast) nichts zu beklagen. Die Story... cool nur etwas zu kurz. Alles andere, total Bombe. Grafik find ich geil, Setting total cool, Nebenquests geil, ich kann es wirklich nur jedem ans Herz legen. P.S. bei so einem umfangreichen Spiel sollte man mal ein Auge zudrücken wenn mal einen Bug gibt. Ok ich habe es erst später angefangen, konnte es aber problemlos spielen.

Cyberpunk 2077 was always an amazing game even on release. It has gotten lots of hate for bugs and missing features so much so that many people forget about all the amazing moments and best moments in it. Music and characters like Judy, Panam, Viktor, Takemura, Jackie, Johnny Silverhand, and V. CD Projekt Red succeeds where most other companies fail. To create compelling emotional stories. Stories, and emotions which we'll remember for years to come. Remember the story & emotional impact of Red Baron from Witcher 3? And now we have the Judy's story, and so many others. The technical aspects, the bugs, the gameplay, can be fixed. It's easier to learn programming, in comparison to writing good, compelling, emotional stories. Especially now with official mod support now on v1.6 update. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-cGcenvQ18

If I didn't already know this game was made by CDPR I would never have guessed. It's a far cry from the Witcher 3. Memorable characters and an engrossing storyline have been replaced by unlikeable cookie cutter characters and a garbage tier storyline with an antizin style mechanic to annoy and frustrate you. Most of the characters were instantly unlikeable, and as such I had no interest in their involvement in the "story". It's almost like they outsourced all the character development and "story" to another studio, in fact saying that I often got a Days Gone vibe while enduring the story missions, so quite possibly. Fortunately you can skip most of the cringe inducing dialogue, there aren't many occasions where you're forced to listen to it. You can also ignore most phone calls so people just send you a text message. The gameplay itself is great when you're allowed to just play the game. I went down the quickhack route, barely even touching guns, and the stealth combat felt solid. It is very enjoyable to go around the city hacking stuff and knocking out opponents. The sidequests kept me entertained. I enjoyed going after the psychos, and completing the various merc missions. It's just a shame that the storyline missions suck so much. I came across quite a few bugs. They were an annoyance rather than gamebreaking though, it's bad when you can't tell if your scanner isn't working because of a gameplay element or if the game has bugged. Also driving along and then hitting a vehicle that pops into existence 5 feet from your car made travel frustrating. In summary, it's worth getting on sale as the gameplay is good. Just brace yourself for the suck when it comes to the main storyline missions.
