Cyberpunk 2077

I really really wanted to like this game. Neo being in the game really gives the idea that they went all out on this. BUT, then you "play" Cyberpunk and realize that this is a game not worthy of having our buddy Neo in it. It's empty, boring, ugly, unfriengly to play, with a forgettable generic story. Nothing about this has stuck with me in anyway even though I have put around 100 hours into it. Witcher 3 was dope, Cyberpunk 2077..... IS NOT.

"Open world" ... uhm ... yuck!!! The usual fuckclownery about "open worlds" as usual. Translation: "there is really nothing worth doing in the wild but you need to do hundreds of shit/run/delivery quests for some arbitrary achievement". Yuck!! "Railroaded like heck" ... yes! Stealth sucks. Not because stealth sucks *per* *se* in the game but because the clipping code is so abysmally bad, I wouldn't let even one of our interns get away with this! Fuck either your QA or your management! (from personal experience I'd bet on the "middle management" aka "shit clowns with zero spine, zero experience as developers and a huge boner with regard to their stock options"...) a. Dropping a corpse is disgustingly stupid (they end up wherever, spread out every which way) b. corpses *will* clip through the walls (detection wise) c. *you* will personally clip through the walls (detection wise)! Disgusting, really.

Just 10 hours in the game and It's so annoying to have a quite interesting story and a decent (but not impressive) city buried under a sea of visual glitches and mission breaking bugs. After so many years to release a game for PC in such a unoptimized state.. 50% ryzen 3900x CPU usage and 10% rtx 2080ti gpu usage while rarely maxing at 90 fps .. I am feeling lied that this truly Early Access game is out as a full 60 euro game. If they cannot fix these optimization problems in these days then i doubt they have the knowledge to fix it later so here is my 1/5 stars for this slug of a game. Maybe 3/5 when its technically fixed.

From my early youth on, i loved the cyberpunk and shadowrun franchises, so i was absolutly hyped, like so many others. Despite the negative Press and shitstorm on surrounding it, i was having a blast - at first. My own experience was fine and the first few hours were bug free, surprisingly. The first 30 hours were great, granted i could see the obvious flaws, all the promises not kept, but what was there had me hooked. I was reading reports of bugs and glitches all around but i was save from them, somehow. That weirdly enough changed with every hotfix/patch, things got worse. IMO the game is now in the worst state for and i dont know why. is it long playtime, save file bloat? I dont know. On top of that, the first 30 hours are great, but with every 5-10 hours after that mark the issues start creeping in, and the facade falls apart unless u start a new run. There is no replayablity, the game is extremly linear, the rpg mechanics do not exist anymore, Gunplay is passable but simple. Clothing/Outfitting is meaningless and bad. Its either a stat chase, or has to be regarded completly My biggest issue being AI is absolutly horrible in every regard, from Car driving AI, to Police AI thats so abyssally bad that they just teleport behind you, and oneshot u on very hard, to enemy AI just freezing and doing nothing anymore. There are no consequences to most actions, especially since there is no faction system. U can go on murdersprees against one gang, massacring them on sight wherever i am, but in the end they are still amiable to me in later quests if helped once early on. Cyberware is meaningless and too little available, a lot of quests lack a proper resolution. it feels like the complete Act 3 is missing, all issues to rogue AIs just fall into nothingness... The cp2077 story would make a great book in its current form, but what i wanted was more interactiveness and gameplay The game just is not finished, only 40% of it exists, but those 40% are polished.

I, like everyone else, was on board the hype train because we had faith that CDPR would deliver a game that was just as good as the Witcher 3. However, they have failed miserably. This doesnt hold a candle to the Witcher 3. Cyberpunk 2077 only has one redeeming quality, which is the stories that you do for the side charaters such as Panam, everything else is laughably boring. 1- Combat is boring, the only way they have made the combat harder is to just make the enemies bullet sponges. 2- there are no cop chases as they just spawn behind you. 3- limited weapons. 4- the way armor is designed makes you have to choose clothing that makes you look like a clown instead of what you like to survive. 5- crafting and upgrading is impossibley expensive. 6- missions are almost all the same. 7- the life paths you choose mean nothing to the story. 8- the story is much shorter than i would have thought it would be. And I could go on. This game overpromised and was way underdeveloped. A huge blow to CDPR's reputation.
