Cyberpunk 2077

Overhyped. It is a good game with a lot of technical bugs. I think CDPR bit too much that it can chew with all this 'next gen' stuff. It obvious that this game is NOT next gen and its NOT looking great and its NOT well optimised (for PC). Story wise its good. 8 hours in and i enjoy it looking up to what is next. Choises matter? I dont know yet, i make some choises but i dont know do they change the game. Gameplay is a bit odd. I was left wondering how to do one thing or the other even with tutorials on. Menus are weird to navigate trough. Skill trees are difficult to realize what will you need so i just level up what i feel might need just because i need sertain amout of points to use a skill or action (hope i dont fall flat on my face later into the game). Its possible they will improve the game but for now i can give only 3 stars as i enjoy only the story so far.

I am unsure about this game, Cyberpunk is at its heart an alright game, but there are several factors that I think are problematic - The game design feels dated, like something made in the early 2010's, with some sections reminding me of Assassin's creed, mainly with the Gigs; multiple go in and steal/kill/hack said object and leave area. - PC controls are "interesting", there isn't anything inherently wrong with them, however having double tap movement key for dash, no dedicated holster button or the skip button being the same as the crouch button can get quite frustrating. - There are too many gameplay affecting bugs, I have encountered a bug where I can't use any motorbikes because the front wheel clips through the ground, I can't tell you how many floating phones, T-posing civs and immortal enemies I have encountered in the first 5 hours. - The game includes a stealth tree, however the stealth in this game is almost non existent, it seems like enemies have a 180 degree cone of visibility and anything outside that cone doesn't exist, simple and not effective I don't believe that these issues are from overhyped expectations, rather it is from a rushed development cycle, I think about what the initial promises were back when the game was first announced and how much they have had to cut back since then, I would argue that instead of spending time and money into putting Keanu in the game, more time and money should of been used for QA or keep the more complex ideas in the game and take more time developing it. I will continue to play this game until I have finished it, but for newcomers I would recommend you wait around a year after launch, most bugs and issues will be solved by then, just like the Witcher 3.

Pros: Character creation was great and surprisingly in depth. Gameplay is fun and interesting. Cool mechanics keep things fresh. The world is vibrant and bursting with life. The voice acting and character interactions feel genuine and it is really easy to get drawn into what's happening. Cons: According to the suggested specs I shouldn't have to run the game in Low just to maintain 60FPS@1080 but here we are. Feels like the optimization was an afterthought. Speaking of afterthoughts, key-remapping is missing quite a few options. Feels like a controller was the only thing used in development and then someone went "oh crap we need to add kb/m options for PC" and this is what we ended up with. The physics are...there I suppose? Getting real sick of being flung across a room because of a bottle on the ground. :::: i7 6700k, 32GB RAM, GTX 1080ti ::::

The game just flat out lags and glitches on my GTX 1050Ti. Can't even get a constant 30FPS on low settings + 900p. Very disappointed. CDPR needs to optimize for better performance for us people with mid end & low end PCs.

This is a spanish proverb, the one on the title, to illustrate that no matter how shiny is your gun, if it's rusty on the inside, then it will never be an efficient weapon. Cyberpunk is a tremendous masterpice, more ambitious than it's inception era standards, that specially stands out where it shouldn't: technically so advanced (or is it badly optimized?) that present technology cannot satisfy users demands, furthermore insufficient in its depths of ambition: - Pedestrians that you cannot interact with far beyond a simple tagline: "Hey you, do I know you? Get lost!" - Thousands of closed doors that cannot be hacked nor force. Even Deus Ex was more ambitious than Cyberpunk in its own terms: not many doors to open, but all of them where breachable...You cannot say the same about this game. - In summary Night City is crowded but prominently dead, which is the worst feeling you can have on a state of the art sandbox like this one. Buy it, play it, get amazed, but I must warn you: Cyberpunk is like the best steak you could eat, with that isourmontable feeling that it was 5min close to be the way you tasted it in your brain. Ah, I forget the most important thing: You'll need a 1.500€ computer to play it as you you deserve, and you will not even have everything on ULTRA, so be sure to meet that requirement before purchasing it.
