I love this buggy mess <3

First of all: "Your review should focus on your in-game experience only. Let the game stand entirely on its own merits." I believe the game's merits are also strongly reflected in the merits of the developer and publisher. To disassociate these into disparate entities would make for a dishonest review, and though it will not affect my star rating, I'll address this one thing first: CDPR did an extremely shady thing disallowing private gameplay footage for early reviews of this game, as has become apparent from the performance issues on consoles. This is not okay, especially in the wake of the crunch excuses. If crunch was effective, this game would be in a better condition by now. It is not. Don't go back on your word & then deliver a product in this condition. Anyway: I LOVE this game! I love everything about the story, I love the setting, I love the concept and the RPG systems. The story is compelling, the characters are very likeable and V is such a real person, with excellent voice actors and surprisingly complexity. The choices you make in the game do seem to actually matter, and near every mission I've done so far has consistently allowed me to pick my own approach. PC performance is fine, even on my mid-end machine & I can maintain a consistent playable framerate on relatively high settings, which is great! On PC, CP2077 seems to perform decently across the board. The bad: BUGS Bugs bugs...! I'm experiencing nothing gamebreaking, but you cannot play for 5 minutes without encountering bugs. Physics bugs, NPC pops, NPCs despawning instantly if you shoot the air, UI hiccups that require reloading to fix (you can lose crucial info in the hotel, or get stuck with the HUD saying you have 0 HP). Jumpy doodads, clipping thru vehicles, Jackie completely upended a whole room by WALKING thru it in the first mission you did with him. Visual bugs. They're charming, but still bugs. Funny, but they do detract from the experience. I'd wait a few months before buying.

Great so far

Performance: I have an older setup (gtx 1060 6gb, i5 5700, 16gb ddr4 ram) and with a mix of low, medium and high settings I've got it looking good and running well enough at 30-40 fps. This is before today's (12/11/20) patch which I am currently installing and I fully expect further optimizations. I'm at about 15 hours so far and haven't met Johnny Silverhand yet. Been doing a lot of exploring, side quests and such. The way I play, I expect to get plenty of game time out of it. Gameplay it's self is pretty good: the gunplay and driving are kind of basic, but in combination with everything else, that's no big deal to me at all. The hacking and braindance are cool additions. Skill trees are extensive enough without being overwhelming. Crafting is fairly basic which is good for me, especially not having to visit crafting stations. Huge city to explore, the environment is great. Only thing about that aspect really is that the sexual references are everywhere. I almost felt like I was playing Duke Nukem at times with all the posters and such. Overall, great game and now that the patch is done, I'm going back in the play some more.

Flawed launch; hoping it gets better

We all know about the bugs and how despite the several delays, this game is still a mess on launch. Best I can recommend is wait at least 6 months for the many patches and free DLCs to come in before diving into Night City. Because this is an amazing game to play, but its enjoyment level gets potshotted from visual and audio bugs, as well as the jankiness you can spot in a split second as the models transition from one animation to the next. More so when you reload from dying, and a few cutscenes end up getting trippy and weird. My biggest gripe, however, is the zoom sensitivity. Even when I set it up to max sensitivity, the ADS movement is still too slow for my liking. An enemy can be running to cover, and my reflexes (so used to the snappy ADS in Destiny 2) betray me for trying to aim for a spot the guy ghosted ages ago.

Great game, NEEDS WORK though!

Waiting for this day to come has not been easy but with the anticipation I waited. I can't say I am disappointed because that wouldn't be true nor did it live up to my hype in its current state. I have a pretty decent amount of game time currently and wanted to share my thoughts. Cons: -Glitches/Bugs are REAL, some funny, some more annoying. Been fighting enemies who just heal like I am not even shooting them or they fall randomly just tripping and laying down on the ground. NPC's sometimes during combat just stare at the wall or trip and lay down and can't get up. -Currently I have at least four missions I can't interact with the people to start the mission off or I complete a mission and it just remains incomplete. -Controls are ass but have been able to switch them up on M&K, on the other hand when I try to use the controller the game goes full retard and just doesn't work at all can’t move my character its a real mess. -the world events need more variation. Pros: -Combat is actually fun no matter if you choose fist, melee, or gun very well rounded. -Story is so great, it really draws me in. -Side missions/cop missions/ Gigs are fun to complete although it's just a rinse and repeat method it's a grind I don't mind. -The driving is fun and a bit clunky. I have been run over by my car more than once, it has also driven through other cars blowing them up or flipping them which is hilarious (but should be fixed). -The world is truly immersive and it's crazy just looking around. -The graphics are great even on an older rig like mine with shit graphics card haven’t really had many issues with how the game looks. -The replay value of this game is something not to be overlooked. Overall I rated this game 4 out of 5 stars. I think it deserves it even though it still needs touch up work. This game has a ton of potential and I'm excited to see its fine tuning and polish.
