Cyberpunk 2077

So, after being in development for so long, this is the final product we get? I can't even begin to express how disappointed I am. Not just in the astronomical number of bugs, but also key features and mechanics that are useless or missing from such an overhyped game. First - the bugs. I have one simple a question; how come CDPR was completely oblivious to the number of bugs in this game throughout its lengthy development? Don't get me wrong, I know a large-scale game like this takes time to develop and polish. But literally on my first day of playing this game, I spotted more bugs than CDPR did in the 9 years they spent developing this game. Either the playtesters can't do their jobs right, or they deliberately ignored these bugs. Regardless, it's a huge loss for CDPR and I can't believe they didn't see this coming. I'm not even gonna bother listing out all the bugs I found in this game (not that I can anyway, because of the character limitation). There are plenty of videos on YouTube and forum threads describing all sorts of unpleasant bugs. Not to mention, parts of the world are causing performance issues like framerate drops, etc. Secondly - questioning some of the game's features and mechanics almost gave me a nosebleed. Like for example: - Why give us the ability to customise our character if this game doesn't even support third person view? I never understood games that do that, it's so pointless - What's with this keyboard mapping and why is it so hard to update? - No vehicle customization? Even something as simple as changing the color? Well that sucks - Was the wanted system in this game purposefully designed to suck this much? I can kill a cop, then get inside my vehicle and coveniently drive 20 meters around the next block at a slow pace, and my wanted level just disappears. No car chases, no nothing. Makes perfect sense Have to cut this short now. Only reason I gave it 2 stars is cause I like the graphics, sounds, weapons and a few of the quests.

To cut directly to the chase, outside some great graphics and character creation there is really nothing special about Cyberpunk 2077. The story becomes uninteresting as you go along, the driving controls are bad, the weapons feel all the same, and the bugs ... don't get me started on the bugs. I've literally had to wait until a major patch release just to complete the Delamain side mission due to the bugs. The overall combat and gameplay does not feel like a challenge. Just upgrade quickhacks and you really have no need for a gun. But like mentioned before, the graphics and mise-en-ecene is overall great. Overall I say wait until this game is at least 70% off before purchasing. It is not worth full price....

In evry patch graphic has been downgraidign on PC - I've to roll back to the patch 1.12 in order to get the graphic back to the "better quality". How is it passible that each patch only made it worse? - not better? I didnt have time to play much in winter and sprig - bearly 10h or so. And when I've seen the leates game after patch.. i was furious. this game now looks like 2015-2018 game tops! Rolling back to patch 1.12 helps - but this feeling that you are beeing cheated stays. Avoid this game.

This game could have been great with proper time and attention. Instead we're given a game at launch that has not only several bugs but sub-par aspects all around. If they actually deliver on what was advertised with free updates, fixes, and DLC to finish the game I'll probably buy it again (I refunded). The Good: The visuals and atmosphere deliver most of the time. Living in this dystopian, near future open world can be immersive and entertaining all by itself at times. The beauty in the city and landscapes designs are awesome. Character development for the player and most main characters takes it's time and is emotional. The Bad/OK: The main story feels like a good movie, but bad in the way when you realize you're playing a game where you should have agency in choices you make. There are multiple endings but all of them are never fully satisfying for a game. Side questing is even worse in this way, with sub plots that seems like they could shape your choices as a character and the world you live in, then end up again ultimately feeling disappointing, empty, or non existent outside cutscenes. Supporting characters get a chance to be really fleshed out and ingrained with the player but then either stop abruptly via questing or get removed to serve as "depth" for the player's journey right before they get good in and of themselves. Gameplay is ok until you settle into your build and get certain gear and abilities, and then gets way too easy and one-dimensional without much challenge. An example is having the ability to see enemies through walls, and with a sniper rifle can one shot them through most walls one by one. Awesome at first, then it becomes an easy exploit to handle most areas. Driving feels ok but it would be nice to have a mechanic where you can shoot freely from the car. I could go on, but almost all other aspects of this game feels bad to ok at best. The Ugly: The bugs. Way too many immersion and game breaking ones to mention.

The worldbuilding in this game is second to none, Night City feels vast and intoxicating, and the character design is excellent too. This is all ruined by the large, yellow, pulsating quest marker which never leaves your field of view, and can't be disabled in the HUD options. It breaks all immersion, which is crazy considering how much work has clearly gone into making Night City what it is. There's already a quest marker on the minimap, that's perfectly fine for most people. Please give an option to remove the yellow floater.
