Thoughts after 26 hours since release

This game is everything I hoped and feared it would be. The graphics are great, the action is hardcore, the story is well thought out. But this game is NOT for the faint of heart. Cyberpunk 2077 is true to its table-top pen-&-paper RPG roots when it comes to story design. It's dark, it's morbid, and upsetting. I thought I was prepared. I was not. You have been warned. The game has its bugs. This is to be expected, it's brand new, and they will get fixed. Functionally, if this game requires one thing, it's manual key/button-mapping. The same button uses a single-tap to toggle crouching and double-tap is required to dash/evade, which, in my opinion, is a major design mistake. A better default setting would have been tap for dash, and hold to toggle crouch. [Spoiler? Though I think everyone already knows by now] Story-wise, if this game requires any one thing, I think it's more freedom to explore and do without a time bomb in your head.

Immersive and fun but over-hyped.

Immersive game and great atmosphere. Plenty of bugs and the controls are a slight pain with mouse and keyboard; driving with a keyboard sucks. Cyberpunk 2077 feels like it's worth the price, but it's completely over-hyped; I'm a little disappointed. It's worth buying this game, but I strongly recommend waiting for patches to roll through first.

A beautiful mess

Just wanted to say, this is a beautiful mess of a game. The characters, story, detail, city and everything that CDPR does best is here, but this also means that it comes with the worst of what CDPR does too. I have no doubts a majority of the game will be completely fixed in updates, the most recent patch has proven that they can fix a multitude of issues in a very short amount of time. I'm around 80% done with the main story, still have a ton of side missions. My main complaint is this. Its not long enough, it feels as if the game rushed through every single interaction and relationship inside of the main story. The part at the very beginning when it shows a time lapse of you and Jackie doing all that cool shit, I'm really sad that wasn't in the final game as playable content. I understand that V is racing against death, but I see no reason why the games starting section couldn't be extended a solid 10 hours before V got the chip in his head. Biggest thing i'm looking forward to now is the expansions, I cannot wait to see what they will add, if the Witcher 3 is anything to base judgement off of, they will rock.

Big Beautiful Brilliant Buggy Bomb, cho

Let me start by saying that this should have been pushed back again until complete and polished bright and shiny, and CDPR screwed themselves by buying millions of dollars of adds and Keanu Reeves and just demanding it come out in 2020. So, in six months or so we might see the completed version of this game. As a fan of and player of the original tabletop RPG and a scifi junkie to the furthest extent and beyond, being immersed in this title is what I have been looking for in a game since time immemorial. That immersion is frequently broken, unfortunately, every few minutes by technical issues that, by comparison to console issues seem like nothing at all to be irritated with. But I still paid $60 for this and hoped it would be as smooth as Witcher 3 but knew in my heart it was still going to feel rushed. So that immersion breaking bug slapping me just as I begin to *get* immersed again becomes a glaring and nagging voice in my mind that I should NOT have pre-ordered this or at least waited for half a year or more until they've resolves many of these problems and by then it will have already gone on sale. Now I mean to say I am happy to have purchased this on GoG and that 100% of my money went to CDPR and that will hopefully reflect their continued diligence in finishing a job they started 8 years ago. PROs: It looks great for the most part apart from some messy DLSS moments and some horrible framerate drops and stutters if DLSS is off (and I run a powerful rig that handles Control on maxed out settings and RT on). The art direction and whole feel of Night City is just how I pictured a dystopian corporate crime ridden $#!7hole The music... oh man the score and licensed songs on the radio (particularly Vexelstrom's dark synth industrial foot stomping anthems) put me there one huyndred percent. Bombing around Kabuki on a rainy night blasting darkwave fist pumping jams is where my heart SWOONS... MORE in a second post as this has a character limit
