Cyberpunk 2077

The game itself is okay, but: - the installer is horrible: it writes everything to the temp folder, then everything again to the target installation folder. Double the SSD wear, thanks! (triple if you also count the original installer files) - the controls can't be fully remapped... yes, in 2020 :/ And the default controls are not quite great Also compared to, say, TW3, the game feel quite soulless.

I wanted to love the **** out of this game, make it my life, even join the modding community and become a sort of power user for this game. Gamestop's initial review of this game (a glowing 7 out of 10) was correct. This game really is superficial set dressing around a short, linear storyline. It is mediocre as an action game. But as an open world game, it absolutely fails. Everything's cut and paste, procedurally generated set dressing. NPCs have boring one-liners (far less interesting than the one-liners from NPCs in The Witcher 3). Essentially, procedurally generated traffic, cops, NPCs, gang shootouts, and cars pop in within a hundred foot radius, and very uninteresting AI. At max LOD settings, things still pop in in a jarring way. Once you turn the LOD settings down (or watch PS4/Xbox One gameplay) you'll realise just how superficial the non-main-storyline content in this game actually is. You're not encouraged to explore the game, think outside of the box, play around with things, express yourself within the open world. There's minor bugs that can be fixed, sure, but there's issues so fundamental to the gameplay design, that it seems intractible to fix this game now that it's been released. Shouldn't have pre-ordered this game. Shouldn't have bought into the hype. Shouldn't have ordered in GOG to show my support for this team or get the soundtrack and artbook and exclusive in-game nonsense. All I can do now is hope that they'll pull a No Man's Sky and fix their game. But it seems like some of the issues are so fundamental to the game, it's going to be years of being held hostage to the possibility that I might get my money's worth eventually. "What did we learn Palmer....? I guess we learned not to do it again."

Game feels like a Beta build (if not Alpha) due to the numerous bugs I encountered. NPCs walking through walls, T-posing, speaking with their mouths closed and dead enemies flickering. Even though none of these made the game unplayable for me, they do, however, break the immersion. Not to mention the very unstable framerate. I've set the settings to the lowest possible (even tried 720p resolution) but still, the framerate dips below 30fps, though to a lesser degree when compared to Ultra Settings. TL;DR If you don't have a high-end PC, think twice, maybe thrice before buying the game at this point in time. Performance is really over the place and tuning down the graphics won't be enough to maintain a decent experience. Maybe wait until they've polished it even more.

I have no problems with performance, and i think i don't have to talk about all the bugs. Only, that for a game that long in dev it is shameful. That's what you get with no open beta i guess. The game itself feels like an average open world game with rpg elements. Choices are barley there. The world is full of npc's but they are simply there to fill the world, no interaction with most of them. Combat is just average at best, hacking is boring. Driving is a joke, you better off going on foot and use fast travel. Enemies spawn behind you, Police does not arrive at the scene, they just spawn. No Driving AI. That's just lazy and bad for a 2020 game. Interface is terrible and clunky, The game was not developed with PC in mind, anyone who claims it is, just lies. The game is a Console port and not a very good one. You can't rebind the most importent keys. Not acceptable. You are a lefty? To bad for you. Twist your fingers. Lifepaths are meh, story overall is mediocre and no, Keanu Reeves doesn't save the day. Romances are very lackluster. There is a nudity filter, but scenes, if you get them just fade to black, even when just kissing. That's with nudity filter off mind you. Ubisoft level bad it is. What is the point of letting you choose genitals? The CC is pretty lackluster overall. Soundmixing is terrible, voiceacting not that great but Night City looks good i give them that. I am fairly dissapointed with the game and think it is not worth 60 bucks. Before you buy this game, inform yourself. But please don't listen to so called gaming journalists, who are a disgrace for their profession. Don't listen to youtuber, that got the game early and praise it to heaven. Don't listen to fanboys. Search for reliable sources who you trust. Don't buy it in blind faith.

I'm willing to gloss over Technical bugs and problems with the graphics and so on, but the logic of how the dialogues go and how the situations develop are very badly made, they a lot of times feel like something has ben cut or it's missing. Situations lack explanation or context they just happens and a lot of times have you just as a random extra watcher. I don't feel invested in this world, whenever sitautions like this I stray further and further from the enjoability of the game (wich is not very good either) and lose interest, in 10 Hrs I'm playing I've been asking why stuff is happening in that way already a ton of times. I'm sorry but this is not even close to the standars of the stories in the witcher 3
