Cyberpunk 2077

This game is totally unpolished and underdeveloped. The way NPCs engage with you is totally unrealistic, there is no visible automation or any futuristic tech. Sure there might be drones to kill, but you can't hack and control them (you can in Watch Dogs Legion), sure there might be an AI Taxi - but he can't drive you anywhere (there are self-driving cars in Watch Dogs Legion), you get a fun spider robot to play with - but you can only play with it for one mission (you always have a spiderbot in Watch Dogs Legion). Watch Dogs Legion feels more dystopian, more real, and more high-tech, not to mention it has less bugs and runs better. Cyberpunk's developers don't seem to be mentioning the lack of customization or lacking dialogue options at all, only talking about bug fixing. It's not just bugs that need to be fixed.

that's how much content and bug free it is. not to mention optimized.

It started with a bang but got more and more disappointing, to the point I have suddenly stopped playing and waiting for coming patch 1.2. It feels like they focused a lot in the first 10-15 hours and later lost interest, or rushed to release. I think Night City is a super cool futuristic city but it feels empty in a way. There are no mini games etc to interact with NPCs. All you can do is to go around for missions. I haven't completed the mainstory yet but so far so good. There are a LOT of side missions and gigs too and some of them are really good and intense. I've found critical bugs and flaws which totally destroy the immersion of the game. -Super bad AI for cops and other NPC.. -Friendly just stare in fights... -First boss in first huge mega fight suddenly freezed (Breaking point)... Yeah there's a lot.. I strongly recommend to wait at least 6 months before buying until CDPR have released patches and hopefully some good DLCs, or wait for a sale. At current date I would wait and buy other games instead. I can't believe they release this game at this state. From 2013 trailer "Coming when It's ready" Yeah, right...

I knew it from the beginning that if this game turned out to be a 7/10 I'd still probably enjoy it. I'm a huge fan of the genre in all types of media and had researched into the PnP enough to be excited about it. I bought into Pondsmith saying "if someone can make Cyberpunk and not stick the label on it and make something else, it's CDPR". Artistically and writing wise, that's pretty much true. But sadly, the game itself from a mechanics standpoint is very much uninspired and outright unfinished. I'm sad to see that CDPR ended up being that company with great artistic design and true adult quality writing but maybe, sadly, not that great game designers. . I hate to be that guy, but in the end, the game used nothing from the PnP system and drifted away from mechanics that would help convey the feeling the story does succeed at, and instead turned out an uninspired, shallow looter shooter Far Cry where vehicles and verticality are just a means to "getting there", with very little sandbox. In order for a game adapting Cyberpunk to be considered successful in my opinion, you can't strip so much of it to have everything be a percentual increment to three major types of guns and broken hacking, with rinse and repeat, frankly fun and addicting but overall mind-numbing gameplay. Next time, please, start with the game design. I can't believe how boring the cyberware is, but the problem is precisely in not designing a better gameplay loop and systems. You literally have cybereyes with options, none of which is night, thermal or infrared vision, because gameplay isn't built around them. You have two types of legs, none of which makes you faster or more silent, because the same... I don't feel like a professional customizing my cyberdeck or buying and modifying weapons because the Borderlands "rarity loot tags" are antithetical to the setting. It's a damn shame, because I've seen a lot of love put in there by artists, writers and musicians but some weren't doing their job.

Played through nomad life path.. Story is okay.. Replayability is zero.. I got bored after 1 playthrough. Most choises don't matter.. limited romance options (options locked behind gender) no water physics worse vehical handling you can't save your friend npc.. in this so called "RPG" Side quest are not that interesting. Main storyline and length of quest is very small compared to witcher 3. Game had lot of potential but CDPR screwed this game hard.. Not worth the money! Its a incomplete mess even after ignoring all the bugs.
