Cyberpunk 2077

Cyberpunk 2077 is not a great game, its barely game. Its a linear unfinished jank in an open world. The 2018 gameplay reveal trailer told the truth, "Does Not Represent The Final Look Of The Game" should be this game's sub-heading. Cyberpunk 2077 is not finished. Even after the patch its riddled with bugs and glitches that break immersion and sometimes break the game. It also is not a first person RPG or any RPG hybrid, it's an action adventure looter shooter. Weapons DPS and the armor of your clothing is the name of the game. Your dialogue choices do not matter (except in a few story missions), playing steathily does not matter, hacking does not matter, grab your gun and shoot your way through as it is the fastest option and has zero consequences. And speaking of consequences your actions in Night City do not matter. It isn't a living city as it was marketed, it is one that is static and dead. It's absolutely beautiful to look at, it's an artistic marvel, and that's where it ends. There is zero interaction. crowds give the illusion but ultimately do nothing. Gangs only exist to serve as background elements for some characters and repeated random encouters. Police spawn out of thin air and disengage a block away as they don't drive cars. In fact none of the A.I drives, cars are simply on set paths. Can't be customized either, just like you. After the initial customization you're locked into your character. No hair style, tattoo or piercing changes that have existed since the days of San Andreas, & Saints Row. Its a Cyberpunk theme with no Cyberpunk choices. The only strength is the acting, visuals, and the soundtrack. The art team put a lot of love into the game and it shows, the voice actors also give life to characters that aren't interesting plot wise as they're forced into the story, and the radio/club music is great..but that's all. Cyberpunk 2077 is all syle and no substance, a tour bus ride of Night City and not worth a purchase at the moment.

So very disappointing. Game feels unfinished, and the characters and dialogue lack the charm of those found in The Witcher. I could forgive the bugs etc. What I was really looking forward to was a compelling story full of characters I was invested in. But the game failed to make me care about ANY of them. Literally any. That includes the protagonist V - zero charm, talks like an edgelord the whole time, no matter what choices you make. We were promised an RPG with deep choices, but V never really felt my own. I hoped for more from this game, and what it has needs work. Wake the f*** up CDPR.

So that was a lie. I played about 50 Hours. Almost every quest has bugs that force me to reload. But the worst thing is that they can fix all the bugs and glitches, but it won't change the fact that the game has no driving AI, the city is more shallow than GTA 3, you get spammed with garbage items that have plus 1% in this and that. Oh and of course in the future you can't get a hair cut. And only 5 Cyberaugments change your looks. Almost every NPC you meet looks more Cyberpunk than V. But the worst thing is all the lies CDPR told about this game, knowing that nothing of the "next-gen Open World Roleplaying Game" will be actually in the game. Cyberpunk 2077 makes you really appreciate Rockstar Games, Mafia, Sleeping Dogs... And I really don't get why people think the Story with almost no decisions is so great. Also the life paths don't matter at all. Witcher 1 had better Sidequest than CP2077. Hard to belief it was made by the same company

Tech: Cyberpunk 2077 does not work properly on the recommended specification. My computer meets the recommended requirements presented by CD Projekt Red. I have all drivers updated and the latest patch for the game downloaded. Unfortunately, the game is playable in a stable 30fps only on low settings and 720p resolution. I am afraid to think how the game works on the minimum specification. I would have survived 30fps and low settings provided the game was running at 1080p. All the newest AAA titles are fine with my gear. Cyberpunk 2077 is tragically optimized. Gameplay: This game has a lot of bugs: - the shortcut keys are sometimes nonresponsive (changing the camera in the car requires waiting 5 seconds or clicking the Q button multiple times) - textures may not load at all or with a significant delay - NPCs can get bug under the floor (example: an NPC with an elevator access card in one of the missions got stuck under the floor, which required multiple save reloads) - many more (...) Moreover, the NPCs artificial intelligence that CDPR was so hyped about is practically non-existent (or let's say: it is not intelligent). Police behaviour is very random, they are very easy to loose and can mark you as a wanted person for no particular reason. Would I recommend this title? Not in this state. The fact that PC gamers are being denied a refund for the game pre-order doesn't help either. I wish this game came out in 2021 without above crucial problems.

One of the worst combinations of action and RPG gameplay I've ever seen. The combat is "action", but all the meaningful choices are from the RPG elements, which has the depth of cookie clicker, it's just watching numbers go up. It's a spectacle game, with great graphics and an alright story. You're paying for another generic looter shooter, but in the world of cyberpunk.
