Cyberpunk 2077

After nearly three years of making incremental changes, largely for the better, they dumped a wholesale change of the game systems that largely get rid of any of the incremental improvements that had been made.I have spent over 2,000 hours in this game and now it just feels unpleasant to play. There is now way more visual distortion when engaging in a fight with enemies. Not just the needlessly beefed-up netrunners, but the general level of onscreen "visual noise" is ridiculous and unpleasant. Moving pistols to 'Cool' and making the 'Tech' tree so focused on cyberware means I now have save files of V's with no viable build for how I had played them. Having done playthroughs focused on crafting "tech" but light on cyberware is now not really feasible. I can't be the only one who has no interest in vehicular combat, so seeing that they pu a perk for it under every attribute makes me dread what may be about to come in Phantom Liberty. Tying grenades and healing to "charges" that deplete and refresh is nonsense, but I'm already getting angry on the internet and have spent enough time complaining about a video game.

When people say 'this game is unplayable' they usually mean it's uncomfortably bad. This game is more genuinely unplayable. It won't let you play it. It would rather turn off all the lights and let you enjoy the supposedly amazing spectacular visuals in an all-black blind mode, than let you enjoy something you paid for. I'm looking into a refund.

The real problem with this game it's not bugs, you can fix bugs, poor performances you can also fix, what's broken in this game is your consumer's trust. We were promised an RPG, and this is just a FPS with mostly useless RPG elements. We were promised a story, and everything feels rushed, you have an impending doom "spell" cast upon you but it really doesn't make sense, cause the doom never arrives if you let time pass... Speaking of time, when you rest you just change the sun position, any NPC keep doing what he was doing the moment you started to skip time. You receive an email about rent past due, you have no way to pay it, you go in a strip club and there's no strip service to buy, you constantly fight against gang members but you're still BFF with their representative. The advertised nudity, mostly in the form of genitalia customization, but still to please the usual bigots, they removed it from the real game (you just can see it in the inventory), and it's pretty clear they did this to avoid there being 90% of Cyberpunk related screenshot and videos about your penis/vagina. They promised never to use crunch, but they did use it, and it's pointless, everybody knows that scientifically crunsh is useless, you just kill your employees efficiency day after day till you just get crap out of their work (as we can see by the state of the game). Broken promises, hundreds of PR lies, I won't refund the game, but I'm refunding my trust in you.

Cyberpunk 2077 has a lot of potential, but as of right now, it is downright unplayable for me because even though my PC is slightly above the minimum spec (GTX 970, i5-6600K, 16GB RAM, installed on a fast 970 Evo Plus NVME SSD) and running on the lowest graphics settings at 1080p, there are numerous random spots where my fps drops below 15, rendering the game simply unplayable. Not to mention all the unfinished and downright cut content, animation glitches, dumb AI etc etc. Considering how hyped up the game was by CDPR themselves and what the current state of the game is right now, I honestly can't believe it is the same company that brought us the masterpiece that was the Witcher 3....I truly hurts to say this, but I've lost all my trust in CDPR and I deeply regret pre-ordering Cyberpunk 2077 and blindly trusting them. By far the biggest disappointment of 2020.

Apart from bugs and all technical imperfections, I feel cheated. Where are all the things mentioned in the announcements?
