Cyberpunk 2077

Overall, I didn't suffer some of the bugs others did. However I did have visual/audio glitches which I chose to ignore, but did break immersion. Overall I still spent over 100 hours in the game. I was hoping more for a game like Skyrim where I've spent close to 1000 hours. And who knows, if they fix and update the game to what they originally said, it may end up being that great. Maybe even the modders will rescue it? Although I didn't use that many mods on skyrim. Not until much later. Still was a fun game, I enjoyed the gun play. Although after a while, it starts feeling very repetitive. Near the end I did just skip the rest of the side quests and completed the game. Will probably go back after updates. Overall I'm disappointed, but that was more my expectations weren't lived up to and the bugs. Why the 3 out of 5? Well, it's still better than a lot of games. Even with the audio/visual glitches. The story was pretty good. Although didn't much care for ending.

Upon updating the game to 1.5, the audio crackles and stutters whenever I'm driving around Night City, whenever I enter a new area of the map, whenever I'm listening to the radio, whenever I'm walking around Night City. The audio mostly crackles and stutters non-stop, regardless of how I mess with the graphics, display, and audio settings. Real unfortunate.

Update 2.0 completely ruined a game that I loved. I had 293 hours of play time since launch till April 2023. I gave the update ~31 hours worth of play. Started a new game so I can experience it all once again and go play the DLC, and honestly I hated about 90% of my time trying to play with this update. There's only a small amount of things 2.0 included that I would say are good, but the whole update ruined the game and I found myself being more angry, frustrated, and disappointed than I ever did at launch. I defended the game through all the criticism after launch because after a few patches the game was amazing and fun to play and I've had the game installed since launch and gone back to it every now and then to see what new nice little patches were released and the game gradually got better and better. I uninstalled the game last night after my 31 hours of play because I just couldn't take how bad the game has become now. The main issues are the "update" to the perk and skill system which changed the core of gameplay, the massive decrease in loot and clutter to the point that the game feels more empty and exploring isn't worth your time, the crafting system is 1000% worse and almost entirely pointless and worthless now, changing grenades and healing to a rechargeable cooldown is the strangest choice and is completely awful and limits how you can play, the changes to cyberware are a mixed bag but overall I miss the old version and honestly feel like the limitations that were added in with this new "cyberware capacity" idea are a giant step back (this and the perks: why go from being completely free to play however you like to this caged system of being forced to unlock that freedom), enemies being able to "trace" you from several rooms or stories away when all security has been shut down and they aren't netrunners in a dive chair, and the scaling of enemies and descaling of V is just awful. Maybe you might enjoy the game if you're new, but 2.0 ruined everything

disastrous launch. I honestly think the game should've been delayed for a lot longer, after i've played it in it's current state. The story and the gameplay is good, nothing more, nothing less. But the game has numerous game-breaking bugs like 'V' getting stuck in objects or in animations (takedown for example), Jackie (companion) getting killed in the middle of a mission aso. The optimization is nonexistent.. People with high end systems (myself included( get 50-60 fps in Night City, no matter if the graphics settings are set to low/high and RT on/off. The GPU utilization sits at around 50-60%. Hopefully a patch can fix it, and i'll gladly adjust my rating. But as it is right now, i actually regret buying the game on launch day, but that's on me.

I really have no idea what cdpr was thinking with this game - it feels like everything that was praised so highly before is not found in the game, except for the incredibly perfect graphics. You don't have the remotest feeling that you can somehow influence your character or develop him in a certain direction. At no time did I feel like I was in an open world, the city actually looks exactly the same everywhere, which is why you never know where you are. NPCs all behave exactly the same and you can't really do anything except repetitive flat side jobs and the main story. There are very rarely dialogues in which you have a choice of how to proceed. And as everyone already mentioned, bugs everywhere, nothing that stops you from playing, but it often breaks the immersion.
