Great visuals, horrible game design.

+ Everything cinematic is done really well. But everything else feels kinda underbaked and dull. Story missions have so much downtime of you just sitting in a chair or on a passenger seat, just waiting until you actually get to play it. And when you do its just run-of-the-mill shooting, generic stealth sections, or scanning the room you're in. (The witcher senses of CP2077). Like none of it is particularly interesting, new, or standing out even. Its far from the "revolution" CDPR touted the game as. The big 2.0 update that a lot of ppl say makes the game feel like a "different game" is mostly just fixing things that should've already been fixed @ release. Like the police not spawning out of thin air, but actually patrolling. The only "different game" to be found here, is a finished one. Not to mention that its still half baked. Because the "fixed" police, just stands around doing jack all while you're being shot at by gangers. In general the police doesn't react to even half the things it should. GTA police had had this solved on PS2... Or how enemies react to finding corpses. Usually they go on alert mode, but not when you're too far away. Shoot from too far and often the enemies walk right by them without reacting. This half-bakedness is everywhere. There's also no dialogue options in this RPG. You have 1 choice and chit chat. And even if you have 2 choices, both actually result in the same thing anyway. CP2077 is also one of the worst examples of a game overly relying on screen markers over information. Pretty much all info is handled by floating markers. Game tells you to go to "the office" and just puts a marker on your screen. Turn it off and you're screwed, because it doesn't bother giving you any actual information. And if you get there by map marker, you have to stand in a very specific spot for the scene to start, so not even map markers are enough. Same stupid thing regarding gigs. They're only seen on the map as icons.

Fun when the game allows it

One day, I threw my smartphone on the ground and shattered the screen. I still need to put it in our hydraulic press to make sure it knows who's boss. If only you could do the same in this game. It's funny, since GTA4 showed us that forcing the player to own a smartphone is the ultimate killjoy. I'm more reminded of Saints Row 4, where the galactic conqueror plausibly argues that the player character is just as bad, since how many times have you driven on the sidewalk to avoid traffic? But then you get into a cutscene, and NPCs go on and on and on and on and on and don't say much. Then you go out and have your allotment of fun lighting other NPCs on fire with your mind. Then you try to go out and find the fun, and your smartphone never shuts up. I wish this game had the "show don't tell" sensibilities of Blade Runner, where so much is shown with a story about a tortoise in the desert. You know what a turtle is? Same thing. Cousin Nico! Let's go bowling! They call it "ludonarrative dissonance," when the gameplay and the story are in separate rooms on opposite sides of Night City with shark-infested waters and razor wire fences in between. Why is V the only person who can identify criminals with ocular implants? Why are there known criminals just milling about in an alley while police mill about twenty feet away? Why doesn't an omnipresent surveillance state hammer down on V? Cousin Nico! Why don't you ever call? There are cyberpsychos at the gates! I'm convinced that no game developer has ever driven a car. But this is one of the rare fun things, playing Oversteering 2077, smashing into bollards and doing donuts on the freeway. Ring ring, you haven't met me, but I'm very important and maybe there are quests somewhere. Oh you were trying to have fun? Well listen, I'll just send you a hundred text messages.

Inaccurate recommended requirements

I have a GTX 1060 & i7 7th gen, 1080p monitor, at high settings the fps are so bad, about 30-45 fps. This game its unplayable with the recommended requirements. I hope they release a patch in the next three weeks or I will ask for a refund.

Horrible in multiple ways

This games is absolutely horrible. It runs so bad. The optimization is truly horrible. You can barely do anything on your own in the city apart from drive and maybe punch and shoot but that will always get you the police after you. The amount of dialogue is painful. The characters are so bad. You end up at the same place no matter the life path. There is no place for character development. The combat is so basic and bad. The hacking makes no sense either. Driving kills your fps

Needs work, performance is inconsistent

I thought my Ryzen 5 1600 was gonna bottleneck my RTX3070, I was expecting to see both CPU and GPU close at 100% but after playing 10hrs, changing settings from low to ultra with rt enabled, neither GPU or CPU usage are close to 70% at 1440p, why is that? Might be an issue with nvidia drivers? or is it an issue with the last nvidia cards? History and quests are interesting, walking the city and just looking at the buildings, sure the art and design team worked some magic with the engeneering team, no doubt but again, performance isn't where should be most of the time. I trust CDPR will manage and find a way to really make things work as expected.
