Cyberpunk 2077

I feel like the game was massively overhyped and underdelivered. There is so much GOOD in the setting that could be expanded on that it it a massive shame that so many things had to be cut from the game and half assed to make the release deadline. The devs are not the blame here though, given enough time they could have polished this into a GOTY product like the Witcher 3 was, but no amount of bugfixers can remedy the cut features and half baked ideas in the game and I will never waste any money on the DLC content they are undoubtedly planning to ram down our throats.

I'm running a combination of recommended and high end specs on my machine. Needless to say, I expected to be able to turn settings in this game to low to be able to achieve a stable 60fps if not more. I'm disappointed to say that in its current state that simply isn't possible, especially when the game only utilizes 10-30% of my gpu and 50% of my CPU. The game looks and plays horrible on consoles as well. Given that this game has been in dev for 7 years, and was supposed to come out earlier this year, it leaves me with one major question. Who was this game made for? It certainly wasn't mid-low spec PC gamers or last gen gamers. So you're looking at around 10% of the market now. On the topic of PC gamers, YOU CAN'T TURN OFF MOUSE ACCELERATION. THIS IS A SHOOTING GAME. Seriously CDPR? Seriously disappointed to say the least.

I bought and played Cyberpunk in late 2021, and it is still filled with bugs. If only that was the only issue. The game in itself is mediocre. Empty, generic, night city has nothing special. All the good things about the game were showed in the trailers (basically, the parts where Jackie is with you, about 2-3 hours maybe ?), the rest is below average. Side quests/activities are repetitive and the scenario of the main quest is laughable post-Jackie. The optimization is bad. I do not own the latest hardware but I can play most modern games in 2K with high-mid settings. I had to put the settings to low to get a decent framerate, and it looks like s***. I really do not recommend buying it.

promises made and endlessly broken, never to be fixed. An unfinished game released barely functional, and only now does it begin to look like a finished product, but not the product that was advertised.

Plays exactly like Crash Bandicoot without the Bandicoot. Don't worry though once you get past the crashing a game world devoid life and AI awaits: No driving AI. Cars will stop if blocked and wont try to path around anything. I don't see anybody get inside cars. Police don't drive cars ever. Police spawn behind you and forget everything if you walk 1 block away. No bounty system like promised. AI pedestrians don't have patterns like promised they spawn (sometimes in duplicate clones) and despawn that's it. 80% of the cool shops/Bars/Food vendors are devoid of any interaction. No mini games. Car physics are awful. AI will glitch in fights 1 out of 4 times. No rep system with any factions that I noticed. "Your choices will have effects that ripple through the city" More like a stagnate swamp with annoying bugs stinging you. The intro they were showing us is in the game but that's it. After it feels like a completely different game. Odd things like 20 dildos being programmed but not a single one can be used for anything. Did we really need that many dildos without a use? For a game that allows you to customize your genitals it is strangely devoid of sex/nudity (after the intro they show everyone of course). Fake choices, your dialogue options are meaningless. Sometimes the entire block of pedestrians will just hunker down and run for no reason. No pedestrians react or talk other than "hey whats up" "...?". This game is worse than games made over a decade ago. And while a game doesn't have to always be better than another game to be fun, it does when you make comments like "most immersive city" and "branching options that have rippling effects". When you pitch your game as being something new while casting shade on competition and you can't even compete with their games that were released over a decade ago. Heck this game can't even compete with Witcher 2.....
