Never Preordering Again. Do not play now
TL;DR at bottom. This serves as a lessons between expectation and reality. No matter how many movie stars, realistic systems and lore diving can save a game. Never ever preorder. Its completely anti consumer. I played a bit since release and came across nothing but bugs that stopped progress, shooting someone spawns 8 police officers on top of you and insta kills you. Textures pop in and out and people are just as bad. Crafting bugs all over the place where you diassemble but it doesn't actually do so but it gives you crafting XP. Even with the fixes to crashes and bugs there still remains the lacklustre combat and shoddy AI. The story itself feels okay with the main characters and no doubt the voicing had special attention put into it. The combat feels clunky and lacklustre although concessions could be made as its an RPG. The game itself has been conceptionally started 8 years ago and pre production started in 2015 (Not 100% sure on that one) which gave me faith in preordering. GOG's track record with Witcher 3 enticed me to support. This game should not have released for at least another 6 months until the game breaking bugs were squashed, optimisations across the board should have happened before release instead of afterwards. I've tried to update to 1.04 and the installer itself keeps on trying to modify files and says it can't. I've checked the forums with others that have the same problem but with no solution. I've installed Nvidia drivers and optimised my rig as best as I could for the game but it doesnt change the other problems. I've requested a refund as per GOG's policy. Never preorder a game no matter how much hype gets thrown in. Cyberpunk may be a great game in 6 months with the right patches and changes but for now its broken, uninspired and grindy asides from the main story (I got to meeting Takemura before I gave up from broken bugs.) Long and short of it. Do not buy now, riddled with bugs. Wait 6 months and see if its good.
