Cyberpunk 2077

CDPR burned their reputation to make this game a financial success for their investors with downright deceitful marketing. After all the hype, this is what we get. A beautiful, but empty, soulless city with nothing to do. Broken systems, meaningless fluff, broken AI. I'm now 50 hours in and one mission away from the ending. The story is the only saving grace of this game. Nothing you do matters. This is an interactive novel on rails. Not even going to mention the bugs, those can be fixed. The rest can't, as the game is already released and some systems simply can't be "fixed" that easily. Pros: - Captivating story Cons: - Broken AI: Park a car in the street and you can halt the entire traffic in the city, because there is no driving AI. All NPCs know how to do is to cower from you when you shoot a gun. - Broken policing system: Cyberpsycho running around in the city? Noone cares. Hit a civilian while fighting the Psycho? Cops spawn in and team up with the Psycho to focus on you. - Dumb spawning system: Cops spawn in right around you. Go climb up a tower and hit a civilian. Poof, cops magically teleport right in around you on the roof and start shooting you. Don't know why crime is an issue at all in Night City, as cops apparently teleport everywhere. - Meaningless loot system: After every shootout collect all the guns on the ground, then hover over each one to find the one with the best minor DPS increase, discard the rest. There's only a handful of guns, and for some reason they vary slightly in their DPS and rarity. - Dumb armor system: Every clothing has an armor rating attached and is also apparently random. In Cyberpunk 2077 shorts have a better armor rating than tactical pants. A bra can have a better armor rating than an armored vest. - No RPG: None of your choice as V matter. There's a pre-defined path given by the writers, and most quests allow for responses which are just variations of "yes".

I have waited like 6 years for this game and got buggy unfinished game. Thanks, that was the second No Man Sky for me.

Lifeless city, Lackluster gameplay, bugs galore and this can barely be called an RPG. Sadly all of this is built off the backs of overworked and mistreated developers.

Broken AI city is cosmetic driving is bad physics are bad buggy beyond belief no custimization no meaningful plot choices until end no reputation system with gangs no police bounty system the good thigns in the game dont outweigh the bad.

The game is fun, IF you don't like to play stealthy. The game is fun, IF you love to play like being a reincarnation of Rambo. The game is fun, IF you don't care, being pushed into that playstyle, all day long. The game is fun, IF you like to trade looks for performance. The game is fun, IF you got pretty heavy gear to run this game. The game is fun, IF you don't care, that the mechanics behind the game are the same from back in the late 1990s. The game is fun, IF you like the hive_mind_problem. The game is fun, IF you are technically blind and don't care what's going on, as long as you can listen to the pretty good radio stations. I'd love to rewrite this review, but don't think it can change that much. It might look like 2020, but it plays like 1996.
