Cyberpunk 2077

I don't care much about the bugs because they can be fixed later on after the game has been released. And afaik, none of the bugs are actually game breaking. So, I can accept that the game was rushed and there are a lot of bugs. What I can't accept is the fact that the story is lackluster at best. Just when I thought the story was getting interesting... it ended abruptly. Wtf? Here I was expecting a game similar to The Witcher 3 in terms of the content (story, characters, dialogue, quests, monster equivalent etc.) and what I got was not even 25% of that. And to top it all off, some of the side quests end abruptly (like the Peralez quest line). Let's compare. Witcher 3 has in total 200+ quests out of which 57 are main story quests. This game has around 50 quests IN TOTAL. The reason players loved Witcher 3 so much is not because of the graphics, not because of the gameplay, not because of the sandbox environment created by the game, not because of the mechanics etc. The one and only reason people still play The Witcher 3 today is to experience the story and side quests. The Witcher 3's story and side quests are long, very long. But that's what separated CDPR from the rest. The Witcher 3 is so massive that if you have played it once, you can literally forget 95% of the quests and play it fresh from memory a few years later on. They created this huge dense map which is honestly one of the best city maps if not the best city map in any game ever. But they themselves didn't utilize this map to its fullest. Around 50% of the map is not explored by any quest ever. So what's the appeal of playing it other than playing the quest then? One can only explore and be awed by a map so much. If I had to break it down where their funds went, it would be: 50% for the map, 20% for the mechanics, story and overall content and 30% for marketing. I am not even kidding. This might actually be correct. Its such a shame. I will never look at CDPR the same way again.

Currently I suggest waiting a year or so for them to actually REALLY finish the game. Unless you find the AI not being able to figure out how to follow you around a corner "Peak Gameplay". Good AI will save a game, bad AI will bury it in a pit of boredom. Currently they can't figure out how to shoot you when you're both in plain sight, can't figure out how to get in to melee range when using melee, can't figure out how to stop hiding in cover when you're basically clearly flanking them, can't seem to figure out that throwing a grenade at a wall infront of their face might be bad for their continued existence. Interesting game, but also needs probably another year of polish at the rate things seem to be going.

This game has some very good points, the atmosphere is great and the gun play is great, sadly there's not enough gunplay and the city is only skin deep, this game is 90% cutscenes, its more like an interactive movie where you have to press the f key all the time to keep advancing if you want to have long cutscenes then have proper cutscenes, not this illusion you try to portray that the player is in control, i'd rather watch a good proper cutscene and then carry on with gameplay then have 90% just an interactive "press F" all the damn time to continue cutscene Deus ex human revolution is a great example of a game where gameplay is prioritized and cutscenes are there to support the story, cyberpunk just railroads you and is literally an interactive movie

Мало того, что игра на релизе убила мне огромное количество нервов! И до сих пор не исправлена! Хотя казалось бы - только начала появляться надежда на исправление, вот оно.... НО НЕТ! ЭТО ОТВРАТИТЕЛЬНАЯ ИГРА! даже если не упоминать техническое состояние, даже если не упоминать "состояние разработчков"! эта игра ограниченная! у тебя в ней нет не только выбора "концовки", выбора какого бы то ни было в ней нет! разработчики еще и постоянно ограничивают тебя в действиях! в лучшем случае это приводит к ситуации: ты должен идти вот туда!... ты как будто имеешь выбор из 2-х вариантов, которые на самом деле не на что не влияют! третьего варианта у тебя нет и быть не может! ты заложник ситуации! ты бы сам так не поступил! ты хочешь другого! ты бы не выбрал не один из предложенных вариантов! но тебя заставляют выбирать! как будто это важно, но на самом деле, ты загружаешь, выбираешь другой вариант - а происходит тоже самое! и так со всеми квестами, а также со всеми романтическими отношениями(ну это важно, чО!)... в этом вся игра! она ограниченная! и забагованная! в красивой обертке, к которой лучше не присматриваться, потому что она испачкана! все эти подгрузки освещения и прочие подгрузки объектов... короче вот! ...ну и поляки тоже "отличные парни"! максимальный disrespect польскому правительству!

I do not often pre-order games, but for Cyberpunk I thought, "it's CDPR of course it will be a good game." And long story short, I learned that pre-ordering is still a bad idea. The game itself is beautiful, but the world feels empty. There is little interaction that you can have with the world and you do not have to go far before cracks begin to appear. The NPC behaviour in this game is laughable at best, worse than games which came out over 10 years ago. The police have become an absolute meme where they spawn behind the player after you commit a crime, and can be easily escaped because they cannot drive, so you simply run around the corner and the chase is over. The story is okay, but if you were expecting your choices to actually matter, you will be disappointed. The game feels like you are just put on a rollercoaster which carries you through an entertaining but predetermined set of loops and turns, where occasionally you will get to pick between 2 paths. The game feels like it needed another couple of years to cook. Its not an Ubisoft game or anything, but it does not feel like it was made by the same studio that brought us the Witcher games.
