Cyberpunk 2077

No one was more shocked upon playing this game that is was a mess than me. i avoided most spoilers etc and it never entered my mind that it wouldn't be a polished, great experience. Well, I was wrong and to this day i am shocked CDPR released this mess. It's a flagship title and they released it, claiming they didn't see the bugs on consoles? Please. The story is ok, the acting is good, characters are all like weirdos you see on twitter everyday. Graphics are ok, but glitchy, holes in the map, pop in, low rez textures here and there. The game itself is an on-rails forgettable story with no depth or choice. I will likely never play it again, and not buy another CDPR game if i'm honest. This is a disgrace.

There are a few mistakes in the description of the game that I will try to address. First, the title. It's not Cyberpunk 2077, it's GTA Night City. :) - If you want to play Cyberpunk, go get the DeusEx series. Secondly, a platform. This is not a PC game. This is the console port and this is the weak port. Third, 3 story characters. There is only one in the game: Street Kid. You can also play as a Nomad who becomes a Steet Kid after a few minutes of play, or play as a Corpo who becomes a Street Kid after a few minutes of play. (To be honest, you still develop your skills as Street Kid. You can play as a fighter, rouge or mage - because hacking in this game is just magic with a different name. You have mana points, spells and the whole magic mechanism with different names.)

There are still to many bugs in the game, even after several updates. I'm disappointed

I wish if were better. I think the AI and gameplay are very weak. You get the same guns the whole game with minor variations in stats. Skill trees are either broken or op. Story choices dont matter at all really. The world feels dead. It is a beautiful game however. Prob one of the prettiest I've played since the witcher. Bugs and glitches galore. No good updates in almost a year for all of the millions they've made is really the punch in the gut for me on this one.

All the money and time went to filing Reeves for forced linear story line in a supposed open world. That story is unskippable and utterly terrible; as if netflix wrote it & cancelled it. The character writing is shallow and half-baked and just crammed down your throat in completely unavoidable ways. Oh, and you can't interact with *ANYONE* other than these awfully scripted NPCs; the rest are cardboard cut-outs, walking around. Even merchants have like a single "tag-line" with no fucking followup or story or anything; you don't even exit the conversation...you just like...kinda walk away like an uninterested douche...(you will be uninterested anyway). Oh and the items to buy...well...pretty but useless; you never see you character except in some uncanny-valley-homunculus mirror reflection, doing it's best Dexter impression. All of the food has the exact same buff, which is completely useless, so don't even bother. All alcohol debuffs exactly the same, so again...don't bother. Where are the drugs? Wading through rooms of diced-up hookers: OK. 😁 Drugs: BAD. 😡 Seriously: WTF. Crafting involves zero immersion: You just go to a menu at any time and just magically poop out weapons and armor. Combat: Stealth is so unbelievably useless, and combat so horrendously unbalanced, you are just going to get decent armor and decent slicey-dicey weapon and just run around cutting off heads for the fastest approach just to grind through yet anther identical mission...because they are all exactly the same...every last one. Driving: You won't. It's just that bad. Your choices don't matter, starting choice doesn't matter; you are mashed through the exact same story experience / grind, no matter what. Buildings are just cardboard facade. There's nothing to do in this "open-world", no buildings to go in, no people to talk to...it's video game purgatory. Just don't waste your money, like ever.
