Cyberpunk 2077

CP2077 is a decently-fun looter-shooter that plays like an indie GTA-V wannabe. If you expected nothing from this game or ignored all of its hype, it's a pretty decent game for an indie studio; almost AAA! But, when you consider all of the hype over the years, and the fact that CDPR isn't a "litte indie studio," the development time and money invested... well.... I think CDPR should've put some spin this mixed-bag of a release and morphed their business into a world-leading video-game marketing and advertisment firm! Seriously, your marketing team could probably sell sand to Egyptians given how well they marketed this game! I hypothesize that CP2077 is the result of mismanagment induced by moneyed investors having too much say during the development process. Everything about this game "looks good," but it's nothing more than a dazzling veneer on some cheap looter-shooter/GTA-5-clone particleboard. There's obviously tons of money spent on writing/acting talent and music assets, but not nearly enough money spent where it matters the most: a slick, polished, bug-free and intuitive game engine that's easy to develop for. Really built that mansion on a sinkhole, it seems. Just a wild conjecture, but investors do not usually play video games, nor do they know what it takes to develop a good one. Get those investors out of your studios and keep them out of the development cycle! Focus on making GOOD GAMES instead of this veneered shovelware that got slopped out to the hogs to appease your impatient investors. Oh, and by now everyone's tired of the "No Man's Sky" schtick. They (Hello Games) got a "pass" when they released a horrifically-unfinished product because they were seen as being a small, struggling indie studio. You're not; you've got that Witcher loot and everyone knows it.

Super hyped game, but didnt live up even as a standard game, multiple issues with controls, tacky driving controls, doesnt feel smooth. Story? why three life path, you could have kept it simple as it doesnt matter.. all cool gear, but i dont get to see it in cut scenes or any slow mo attaack animations like fallout 3...why bother. dissapointed, will not ask for refund though as you guys brought the patch which kind of made the game playable atleast.

I really really wanted to like this game. Neo being in the game really gives the idea that they went all out on this. BUT, then you "play" Cyberpunk and realize that this is a game not worthy of having our buddy Neo in it. It's empty, boring, ugly, unfriengly to play, with a forgettable generic story. Nothing about this has stuck with me in anyway even though I have put around 100 hours into it. Witcher 3 was dope, Cyberpunk 2077..... IS NOT.

"Open world" ... uhm ... yuck!!! The usual fuckclownery about "open worlds" as usual. Translation: "there is really nothing worth doing in the wild but you need to do hundreds of shit/run/delivery quests for some arbitrary achievement". Yuck!! "Railroaded like heck" ... yes! Stealth sucks. Not because stealth sucks *per* *se* in the game but because the clipping code is so abysmally bad, I wouldn't let even one of our interns get away with this! Fuck either your QA or your management! (from personal experience I'd bet on the "middle management" aka "shit clowns with zero spine, zero experience as developers and a huge boner with regard to their stock options"...) a. Dropping a corpse is disgustingly stupid (they end up wherever, spread out every which way) b. corpses *will* clip through the walls (detection wise) c. *you* will personally clip through the walls (detection wise)! Disgusting, really.

Just 10 hours in the game and It's so annoying to have a quite interesting story and a decent (but not impressive) city buried under a sea of visual glitches and mission breaking bugs. After so many years to release a game for PC in such a unoptimized state.. 50% ryzen 3900x CPU usage and 10% rtx 2080ti gpu usage while rarely maxing at 90 fps .. I am feeling lied that this truly Early Access game is out as a full 60 euro game. If they cannot fix these optimization problems in these days then i doubt they have the knowledge to fix it later so here is my 1/5 stars for this slug of a game. Maybe 3/5 when its technically fixed.
