Cyberpunk 2077

I purchased after patch 1.31 was out so my experience wasn't as buggy as others; I also purchased when it was 50% off which was a fairer price for what was delivered. I had a lot of fun playing it. It looks good and has a great atmosphere but it's not enough to disguise the string & bailing wire holding it all together. Hopefully CDPR doesn't abandon it; there's plenty of stories left in Night City. I won't repeat the laundry list of bugs; others have done a more thorough job of it. My biggest gripe is that the crouch button skips dialog and you will miss a lot as who wants to have a conversation while crouching!? That's a basic QoL thing that should have come out of testing. Otherwise, it ran as well as any Bethesda product; I'll leave that to you to decide if that's good or bad! ;) My setup is a reasonably beefy Linux PC running wine-tkg 6.23 with vkd3d-proton 2.5.

To the people whining about bugs. Name one sandbox game today that is bug free. Name one sandbox that was released with no bugs. There were a lot of bugs at release and there is still some bugs in it today. But all within the tolerable realm of what is acceptable in a sandbox. A lot of the complaints are really unfounded. First of all, this game is an absolute ground breaking achievement in gaming. The city is organic and alive. Their are NPC's everywhere and the city hussle and bussles with traffic. The scale of this sandbox is absolutely mindblowing. I've done two play throughs from beginning to end with my 2nd doing near 100% missions. I'm stilll discovering new parts to the city that i've never seen before. Not small features either. They could make a whole new game as DLC and just use places that weren't used for missions in the first one. BUT TRUE next gen games require next gen hardware. No, other sandbox games released around the time of Cyberpunk are not good benchmarks to Cyberpunk. This game put the bar into orbit of what we can expect a sandbox to be. The ray tracing is... well... breath taking. The scale and details is mind blowing. This is my favorite games that I keep playing even after I've won it. The only thing I wish was different is that it would group saves with character play throughs.

4 stars because my best buddy Jackie dies at the beginning of the game 😭 i mean like come on!!! you don't do that! 😤 now I'm stuck with that stupid Jhonny.... sadly no 3rd person view, which would be absolutely amazing. yes i know about mods but still needs lots of work before can really be played as third person view. playing on ayaneopro med settings.

This has got to be one of the greatest games ever made.. the story, the details, the ability to interact with everything.. its just amazing- best game I have ever played! Seeing all of the negative reviews really surprises me.. I ran into a few small bugs along the way, but nothing too bad though honestly. (60+ hours played at the time of writing this) I really feel like I cant even describe just how good this game actually is.. you just gotta play it for your self and see!

Got this game after 1.5 patch. Never played it before, so no idea how bad it used to be. Right now it plays great. Minor issues never distract from the amazing experience. Great story and great characters. Lots of choices and replayability. Just finished my first playthrough after 56 hours. It was a very, very memorable experience. Will dive right back in for another adventure.
