Cyberpunk 2077

the glitches are too abundant to even list, the biggest one i have right now is that at random times i cannot fire my weapons, i have to swap it to fight, really gets annoying when i am attempting to snipe an enemy just for the rifle to not fire no matter what i do. feed back seem to be ignored at least from me.

Huge bug, stupid ai, weird bug. And none after Game Story ends. Exaggerated game advertisement refund applied but no contact. Worst December game.

An uneven paring of dues ex (1, HR, MD) and the Witcher 3. Where in the W3 half HEAVILY dilutes the immersive sim gameplay of the dues ex side with boring stealth, low enemy variety, watered down exploration, and worthless perks/combat systems. My 3 main gameplay issues are as follows: 1. Why would I Ever use Melee weapons? I can carry as much ammo as I want! I can also just craft more whenever I wish with no skill requirements to do so. Limiting how many mags of ammo I can carry for each weapon type would have been much better in terms of balance, 2. Consumables are also unbalanced. I can have hundreds of inhalers on me at any time and there is ZERO cooldown for spamming them! In Witcher 3 you were limited to how many potions you could carry in between meditation/crafting thus forcing you to use your abilities and gear to their maximum effectiveness. 3. The implant system felt like a mixed bag with the leg upgrades being VERY situational. Also why is it that when I have gorilla arms equipped and I melee someone with a gun, they just get knocked back? But if I switch to fists and punch them their heads explode!? Shouldn't I be able to do a MasterChef style left hook with my robo fist instead? or a mantis blade uppercut? AND then in certain flashback sections of the story. your melee attack is belching flames out of your hands into people's faces! COME ON CDPR! Why can't V do that!? Its like if Garralt had to put away his swords to use his signs or cross-bow.

The game at launch had issues, some cutsomers have had frame rate problems, crashes, last gen players seem to be stuck with poor graphics - we've all had bugs. This review isn't about that, all or most can be ironed out. Firstly, this game is more often than not a FPS. I believed and hyped this to be this generations successor to Deus Ex. An RPG where each action matters, how you build your character would matter in how quests can be completed etc. In my experience within Cyberpunk, none of this matters. The baseline for this company rightly or wrongly is the Witcher 3. The questlines in Witcher 3 are fun to play and really allow me to feel interested in how the story progresses plus it has replayability. The Witcher isn't the perfect game but its a good baseline to follow and improve upon. In Cyberpunk each quest follows a similar pattern, go to point A, kill all re-skinned gang members with the same AI, loot everything - end. No boss fights, no challenge no storyline changing dilemma etc. While Night City is fairly well designed I find the world itself still feels empty, there are side quests which are mostly uninteresting and seem to be only there to earn credits and street cred in order to buy the slightly improved version of the thing you already have. This game coud have been so much more, I feel it aimed to be somewhere in between Deus Ex, GTA and Dying Light but due to time constraints mostly failed at each of these as features/gameplay/quests/story had to be removed or modified during development. I would have preferred waiting another 3-4 years for CDPR to fully utilise their original vision. It took CDPR 3 tries to get the Witcher right, maybe by Cyberpunk 3 this series will reach its potential. Having said that, it is a game - for what it is, its fun to play but i'd rather play Witcher 3 again.

This long after day 0, the critical bugs and crashes should be a fading memory. Instead? 4 of my 7 gamer friends that bought it still haven't even been able to START it - ONCE. They all have well-put together, healthy, modern custom systems with no issues, and are even more competent than average at troubleshooting crappy game launches - but none of that is doing them any good. The bugs are truly THAT bad. On launch day, I luckily managed to reverse engineer a tedious, roundabout solution to my own crash woes after discovering that the game—for some truly inexplicable reason—is built upon a singularly-dysfunctional tangled-spaghetti framework of hacked-apart, hacked-together, console-inspired dependency libraries in what is without a doubt the biggest total failure of technical design that I have ever witnessed in a AAA title - and I've been making, breaking and playing PC games for almost 30 years. But I got to at least play through the story once, as a Nomad... ... until their 1.04 hotfix broke the game even worse. Now I am stuck among the ranks of those many, many, many who cannot even LAUNCH the game successfully - and believe me when I say I have tried *literally* every possibility short of changing my (very, very good) hardware. And it's now been like that for 4 days. Without a word from CDPR. Worse than that? What I HAVE been able to experience of the game didn't redeem it. - The voice acting is bad, occasionally dipping to indie levels. The protagonists are the worst offenders, sounding like something between college-aged sports announcers and movie trailers. - Characters are shallow, predictable tropes; I wouldn't normally complain IF they felt like they contributed meaningfully to any story somehow, but they all fell flat. - TAA, typical console-port mouse fuckery, bad menus... the list goes on, but I'm out of review space. I had a weird sense throughout that the game was actively fighting my best efforts to enjoy it. GG, game. You win.
