Cyberpunk 2077

why are there curbs on the freeway and the freeway off ramps? Cars lose traction and spin. Remove.

While a bit on rails, the main components of this game are excellent and I've had a blast playing! The Good: - The game world. It's beautifully crafted and just a marvel to take in when you stop to look around. -Shooting mechanics. It's somewhat arcadey but satisfying gun-play with weapons that dole out what I feel is the appropriate amount of damage. - Story. The main story and its arching ending paths are well written and at times jaw-dropping in their revelations. This applies to the side quests as well - some of the side quests even more so in some instances. - Netrunning. I like that I can build a character that doesn't have to set foot in a building to take everyone out. The OK: - Melee combat. It's satisfying enough when using hand-to-hand, knives, pipes, bats, and swords - but the animations are limited. Feels button mashy and boring (aside from removing limbs, I never tire of this). - Character customization. I love the character creator. I do not love that I cannot change my physical appearance without installing third-party mods. I also wish that we could somehow transfer stats to items that we liked the appearance of rather than a dice roll of higher-level mismatching clothing. The Bad: - Lack of choice. Corp? Nomad? Street? Doesn't matter, same story, same path. A bit anti-RPG. - NPCs. Basically just wasted world-filler with no purpose, too much model repetition, and zero interaction level. - Car/Truck handling. Like drunk-driving on ice. While NPC cars turn on a dime, you slide into a sea of pedestrians trying to make that hard right. I avoid vehicles. - Game balance. Mid-way through you become GodV regardless of the difficulty level chosen. Focus on a single path to level up and you end up one-shotting most characters. Boss fights are laughable. Pistols are OP, katanas are OP. Heals are too prevalent and it's too easy to keep yourself tip-top when facing against all odds numbers.

I played so many hours. It feels like its nos complete. The history is good, but feels short, even with the seconds missions. The game give you many hours and is fun and epic, but the history feels short. Hops on incoming DLC or expansions. We could have more of some caracters (NPC), and Story. Te city is so great and many places can be used. So I feel that this game have a lot of potencial and I hope we get more in the next months and years. To feel more alive the city. And... Thank yoy CDproyect. Your games has beatiful and amazing experiences. I can feel you love and pasion. And I understand you need more time, and I'll be wating with patience.

Everyone has ran into the ground enough of why this game was a shit show money was better spent on Dungeon and Dragons Chronicles of Mystara and a couple other games i got off the steam sale at that time.

Since reviews for cyberpunk seem to be plagued by the type of person of :" I thought this was going to be the best game ever but it wasn't and now I have to vent my frustration but hide that fact" I thought I should add my review. The review of someone who did not have any expectations other than this being the next game from CDPR. And you can see that it is a CDPR game. With one difference: it's less buggy. I know quite the shocker right? I am ofc talking solely about the PC release and not the old gen console release. I played this game on release date. I played almost 90hrs of it, without a single game breaking bug and maybe one crash. Now compare this to my recently started fresh playthrough of Witcher 3 GOTY edition. Within 18 hrs I had 3 freezes/crashes and several quest softlocks (I had to reload to continue). That game has been out for 7 years already and has had more than enough patches and is still way more buggy than CP. So why is it then, that everyone loves Witcher 3 but hates CP? Quite simple really. No one expected anything from CDPR before Witcher 3. Expectations skyrocketed after the success of Witcher 3. Additionally the setting of Witcher is way more intriguing in general compared to that of CP. Nowadays we are almost LIVING CP. CP is not some fantasy it is pretty much reality, besides the whole cybernetics and sci-fi stuff ofc. The setting and stories you can create are all too familiar und you can immediately tell where they are going. The Witcher however is foreign to everyone, thus the stories are more unexpected and more intriguing. So since all of you probably played Witcher 3: the gameplay is very similar tbh. Just with guns. You tick boxes on a big map (remember the question marks? yea they are in here too) and you do side quests. All in all it is pretty much Witcher 3 with a different setting, worse story and more stable.
