Cyberpunk 2077

I guess i'm in the small minority that has been lucky enough to be able to play the game in a high quality, it looks great and runs okay, i've had small audio issues that were easily solved with a load of an autosave. But with the game being very playable on my end it has made some of the omissions in this game pretty glaring. -The driving is pretty bad. not the worst but it takes a solid 15 hours to get used to. -The NPCs absolutely DO NOT have a daily routine, the ones you interact with like fixers, and vendors are always there. same with all TWO of the joy toys in the game (this one's not a huge deal but to think there are two joytoys in a city like night city is weird) and the non-interactive NPCs walking around seem to just walk in lines and I consistently see the same person walking right b ehind themselves. -You cannot play braindances outside of missions at all. you can buy them from the vendors, you have a BD headset but nothing will play on it. in fact there are some missions where you just steal a BD and send it to someone else to watch and tell you about it. -There are no activities do to in Night City at all. the races, shooting, and boxing contests are all side missions with story lines to them. you can not play pool, basketball, arcade games, you can't even sit down in chairs to just watch peopel go by. I havent even seen an option to watch BDs in the strip club where they are most often talked about. honestly it feels like it was so rushed that they totally skipped over the QA portion of development and even removed a lot of the talked about features just to have something ready for day one.

This was supposed te be: A living city. (it is not) A deep RPG( it is not, and they changed it with no notice to Action adventure) There is NOTHING to do in night city (i am talking about leasure and entertaintment) Story is pretty good overall, but i did not feel very bonded with the side characters.

I've spent 80 hours in this game and these are my thoughts. I, like a lot of people, wanted this game to be great. I finished The Witcher 3 and was amazed by it, and shortly preordering Cyberpunk was available, so I did it. The premiere date was closer and closer, and then CDP Red delayed it. "Need more time to polish the game" they said. Well... Fine, I'm good with it if they deliver better product, i thought. Then they delayed it again. With same excuse. I've waited this long, few extra months won't make a difference for me, I thought. And then it finally arrived... This game shouldn't be released in this state. It's a disaster on many fronts. And while I enjoyed the main story, I quickly discovered that it's really railed, and what you do, what background you choose, does not matter. This is my biggest dissapointment. And I feel lied to because this is one advertising of this game was about. It even says it in world compedium included with the game. The world and setting of the game is really good, but this is something CDP Red inherited from buying rights to the Cyberpunk franchise, other then that... CDP Red messed up everything they could. The AI is broken, cars are broken, police appears from nowhere, NPCs dissapear, the performance is really bad on lower specd pc's, even these within recommended system requirements. Tones and tones of bugs, graphical, physical. Mechanics like crafting are broken. I've spend 50h looting and taking apart weapons, just to discover, that now I have to upgrade components one by one. 8000 uncommon components. And crafting one is taking almost a second. This is ridiculous. Straight up bad game design. And situation with consoles. Like really, how can CDP Red say that it's playable on PS4 when the game runs with 15-20 fps and models are not loading. "It's playable, because the game runs". F you. Just say you f'd up and will do your best to fix it. You can only make a first impression once, and CDP Red forgot that. Shame.

If I didn't know that CP2077 were made by the same people who made "The Witcher", I would never believe it was from the same company. I had quite a lot of fun with the game, truth to be told. However, the last part felt so rushed and all the choices I've made throughout the story was... Well, totally meaningless. When I've finished the final mission, I thought the next chapter would start. Well, no, game over and a slap in the face with a terrible final cutscene. 8 years of waiting for this. Never been so disappointed.

I did enjoy the game but after the first playthrough the game feels. . Idk man, it's just a lifeless Hollywood movie adaption of the Cyberpunk tabletop role-playing game. Mike Pondsmith deserves better! Hopefully they will make this right and add more "life" into the game but I doubt it. I don't regret buying the PC Collector's Edition because my dumb caveman brain has hope that CDPR will make this right. 3/5 Will change my review when they get their stuff in order. Depressing fucking gaming moment. . .
