Cyberpunk 2077

now with extra misogyny

I love what they were trying to achieve, and the core of the game underneath all of the bugs is a beautiful one. The characters, animation, and acting carried the game for me. If there's one real problem that I have with the game, is the lack of miscellaneous stuff to do. Separate from the side quests I wanted activities to do other than fighting criminals and combat events. Basically I wanted to feel like I was living on Night City on a more mundane level too, like playing cards, staying at hotel rooms, and more romance characters. The bars, and restaurants were very close to what I wanted, but the menu setting pop-up, and the lack of visualization of what I'm buying broke the immersion for me. But that's just what I wanted out of the game, and doesn't change my opinion on what the game did provide for me. Overall I love this game.

Great game. The atmosphere, the feel of being in a city ... has not been realized in any game as it has in Cyberpunk 2077. There is a lot of anti-CDPR propaganda and puritan entrepreneurship out there, at the moment. Some of it is, ironically, envy at a successful gaming company/corporation that CDPR is (or is percieved to be). Some, a result of vengeful Twitter Puritans who insist on having their pound of flesh for CDPR not having sufficiently genuflected to them for some pet issue of theirs. The remaining are plain lazy asses who want their internalized principle of 'not working hard in life but yet be rewarded,' to be validated by this game company (aka the supposed 'crunch' problem). And who can forget the entitled, who believe any game they 'waited 8 years for' (i.e., did nothing other than read the odd article online about the game) ought to fulfil all their desires? The reality is, none of the above has anything to do with the game. As a gamer, the only question that is meaningful is: how is the game? Is it good? Is it worth my time and money? The simple answer is: yes. This is a great game, well worthy of your time. Look at the online criticism of the game. Observe how silent they are about the game's fundamentals - the action gameplay, the stealth mechanics, the heist game structure and importantly, the story. Do these all work? The answer, again, is a resounding yes. The game deals with some heavy subject matter, and excels the Witcher 3 at several places. Do I have any criticism? Yes. Some of the dialog is too sweary for the gravity of the situation, occasionally. But, that's ok. I can overlook it. One can overlook flaws to appreciate the gem.

In every comment you read, you can read disappointment between the lines. We know the game is currently full of bugs - if you want to play a game with less bugs, wait a few months ... but if you played the Witcher 3 ... its better you forget it. For all the non-whiners - story is great, its compelling! Graphics and Sound seems very costly and well-matched. Cyberpunk 2077 is enormous - 20% for 45h. It needs time to understand gameplay and functions. For all of that, i love this game!

I love story driven games and this one is perfect for me! I already miss the voice of Johnny Silverhand commenting my actions. The story and atmosphere is CDPRs bread and butter, the game has a lot of well written charakters and Night City is oozing out atmosphere where I found myself often driving one of my cars while listening to the radio, instead using fast-travel-points Graphics are superb! Guns make a satisfying KAWOOM! Small sidequests (Gigs) feel reasonable and fitting. Off course I stumbled upon some bugs and glitches, but nothing gamebreaking and I rarely had to reload. All in all this game is a diamond, might need some polish but it shines bright already! See you next time V! Now please excuse me I have to listen to some Samurai...
