Cyberpunk 2077

Up until the tutorial, the game was top notch! Unfortunately, the game crashes after the tutorial permanently in the cutscene where V and Jackie arrive in Night City. Continuing to play is not possible so far. I hope that this crash will be fixed and I do not have to regret the purchase.

They promised us RPG game but delivered story-driven looter shooter. I tried to refund but they are ignoring and deleting my requests, forcing me to accept in-store currency instead of full refund. I got scammed.

While I'm mostly enjoying my time in Night City, I'm finding myself sad and let down by how hollow it has begun to feel. I waited 8 years(!!) and hadn't been so hyped about anything in ages, based on all the amazing features CDPR touted. But I'm left with a lot of ?'s and disappointments. Where are the NPC's with daily schedules to bring life and depth to the world? I can't even make a 360 and guarantee that the character that was standing behind me is still there, or even the same person. I chased a car for a few minutes and everytime I looked away from the driver and back, it was a completely different NPC. There's absolutely no permanence to the "life" in the game, except for the cops outside your door who are forever standing there over a perp and offer nothing to your experience. Why did a cop instantly appear behind me when I shot that rando, even though there was no one else there? Why can't my car or quest NPC's navigate to me unless I'm not looking at them? It's almost like they're cheating instead of having competent mesh path-finding. What happened to "all the cars are unique/customized"? Why do 80% of the other cars around me become the same model as mine? Why are there 4 of the exact same NPC standing near each other in the same room? Why did CDPR patch out my ability to run around nude if I choose? Why must I be offered a car every 5 minutes? Why can't I NOT answer a call? Why is that forced phone call playing over top of a quest conversation I'm already in? How is that even possible to get by QA, after all these years and delays? Why a whole bunch of other things CDPR boasted about that don't exist? Why must CDPR have such terrible liars as CEOs and "leaders"? Why has CDPR ruined their reputation and made me feel this way about them? WHY? WHY?WHY?! I'm going to give CDPR a chance to fix this debacle, but if CDPR can't deliver on making CP2077 the deep and rich experience they promised, I will never purchase a title from them again. Burn me once...

The game itself is decent and reminds me of deus ex and watch dogs. But the game has so many problems, bugs, glitches, performance issues. It feels like a protoype instead of a beta or full complete game. The game feels even more broken than a protoype. Development began 2012 and it's not even completed at this point. For me the version on my xbox one x feels plays a little bit better than the pc version, altough still performance issues and issues. They need to release a lot of updates to fix this game. On pc i experienced too many problems somehow. Couldnt progress in the story because i couldnt talk to a person. Texture pop-ins all the time, performance issues and so much more. Messed around with nvidia control panel, in-game graphics and the second playthrough (again from the beginning) i didn't see the texture pop-ins in normal difficulty. But still performance issues and other problems. This game is for me unplayable at the moment.

So after putting 100+ hours into the game I have come to the conclusion that the game is in such a state that I really cannot recommend buying it. I would honestly give it another 3-4 months of patches and come back later when it's probably half the price. That's all I can say really. Once you've completed the main story and most of the side missions, there's nothing to do apart from drive around looking at the scenery. There's no mini-games, no repeatable quests/activities you can do and really nothing that would make you want to come back to it once you've done the story and side quests, which is a shame because the world looks amazing at ultra settings, truly is a beautiful world, but it's just empty and lifeless. Tl;dr, play something else for a few months as this game still needs time in the oven.
