Cyberpunk 2077

The game itself I guess is not so bad but not worth it considering all the bugs and linear gameplay. The world felt as if it could have been significantly better. I wished it had more rpg elements to make me feel like a part of the world and not just an observer. As in my title I bought the game early so naturally there were several bugs and glitches. Although these were subsequently ironed out, I do not feel the need to replay this game. It is difficult to explain but it is not something I would want to replay because it felt linear to me despite the illusion of freedom. Anyways I would only recommend playing if it went on sale for no less than half price.

The good: Visually, when the bugs aren't doing crazy things, the game can be stunning. The voice acting is mostly really well done though the male lead can come off frequently flat. Some of the missions are superb - the Portal limo reference mission pick of the bunch. The bad: Interactivity is tiny to zero. There's a mall, full of arcade machines, no interaction. Unimportant NPCs have one line of dialog that the lead doesn't even respond to. The gang turfs will never change. In fact, everyone is waiting for you to do their jobs, but there's no payoff in the world. It's painfully obvious this game is so far from unfinished. You have an assassinate skill perk from water that's useful nowhere but the very final mission. Origin stories are a waste of time after the opening mission. The driving. Not only are the physics awful, they went and made a race mission out of it just to double down on how bad it is where you can also see competitors mariokart teleporting behind you rather than actually racing. The AI is painfully stupid. Companions always getting in the way/setting off alarms, enemies standing around being shot at. Cyberware gets grossly unbalanced very quickly. You can wipe an entire area in 15 seconds without even needing eye contact on someone. Some things just don't work as advertised. Gorilla arms explicitly say they help low str characters open doors of a certain level. Then don't. The racial stereotypes and one romance for each gender and orientation comes off as nothing but a checklist. Police spawning is still not fixed. Time means nothing. In a setup where the lead is panicking they have finite time to live, through the quick wait mechanic, you can literally spends months in world time (mostly to farm inventory). Makes no difference. "Time sensitive" missions sit patiently waiting for you to pick up whenever. It's so half baked - the train station, the hinted war with rogue AI that's never fulfilled, the voodoo boys setup that turns to nothing.

Напомню полякам и в частности разработчикам игры, которые решили поиграть в политику. Волынская резня (польск. Rzeź wołyńska) — массовое уничтожение Украинской повстанческой армией—ОУН(б) этнического польского гражданского населения, начатое в марте 1943 года и достигшее пика в июле того же года. Польский Сейм квалифицирует Волынскую резню как геноцид польского населения. Что скажут ваши предки, которые страдали от геноцида украинцев, которых вы сейчас рьяно защищаете? Вы уже забыли свою историю, окончательно продавшись Западу. У вас нет ни принципов, не совести. Правительство Киева планомерно уничтожало своих же граждан, живущих на Донбассе. А раз они это делали 8 лет (вы почему-то молчали, что на Донбассе погибали мирные люди, женщины, дети, старики от украинских снарядов). Теперь они своих же граждан уничтожают и в других городах своей страны, списывая все это на Россию. Прежде чем что-либо заявлять в политическом плане, разберитесь в ситуации. Но зачем же это делать? Вы даже свою историю не знаете и поддерживаете бандеровцев и фашистский режим на Украине. Вы вступили в корпорацию зла! Вы в своей компании не можете навести порядок, а лезете в политику. Чтобы вы сказали, если бы какой-нибудь политический деятель, далекий и ничего не понимающий в игрострое, вас учил бы, как делать игры? Когда целый год вас обливали грязью, ругали, хейтили, русские игроки защищали вас, поддерживали морально и рублем, покупая ваши игры. А теперь вы решили сами записаться в хейтеры, о чем вы потом пожалеете. Вы показали свое истинное лицо корпорации. Время расставит все по местам. Но такой поддержки от русских и белорусов не ждите. Осадочек остался.

Cyberpunk, by itself, is a average open world game with decent gun play. Memorable characters, and with a plot thats nothing to write home about. BUT. if you take into account all the promise they made about the game (Corrupt cops, mercenary's, trains, life paths having more meaning then just "where you want to start", in-depth character creation, being able to go into any building you want, etc.) and ultimately LIED about. The current state of the game, being broken and unpolished (even worse on consoles). The fact the this game is NOT a RPG by anymeans, other than perks; which are just basic stat upgrades and lite additions, nothing major. and the world lacks any depth at all that doesn't involve gunfights. And the AI is laughable at best. Then the game is TERRIBLE in that department. Shame on you CDPR for advertising something that was never going to be, at least from its release date. And using your goodwill from the witcher 3 to essentially boost pre-order numbers and sales for the holidays. I'm glad CDPR's reputation has burned to the ground at this point. Hope they think twice before over-hyping a something that isn't. And ill think twice before I buy anything from CDPR ever again

First off, I really believe if you just played shooters and GTA-like Games so far you will be very happy with CP2077. If you are coming von a RPG or or CRPG perspective, or really liked the Witcher Series I would not recommend. A lot of people complained about bugs, but honestly, on PC at the end of December 2020 I did not discover any bugs that would cause me to downvote the game. (I can live with some, all RPGs have them) The game to me has a much more serious problem with its general design. To also mention the positiv things. The Graphics and the world design, as well a the setting is just beyond every other game I've ever played. The world makes me want to discover all the parts of it, every building, every street, seems to be designed with care, and thats great. And it is a very big game world, in which you could easily have more the one game unfolding it's story, without designing a new game world and in which I could spend 200+ hours more. BUT they are terrible from a role playing perspective, beyond act 1. Act 1 was honestly great, and excatly what I expect of the game after seeing the trailers, trying to make your way to the top in a flashy cyberpunk world with its bright and dark sides. The problem of the story is that is that it basicly has its final in act 1 and goes down after and ends terrible. Works for a Indie game as a "experience" but its a bad expirience, so no replayability and not matching expectations. Also there is no freedom of choice and many parts (tarot cards, priests you meet) just mean nothing in the and - which fits the general theme of the story, but also - isnt a enjoyable experience to me. This results in little freedom of choice. Also the whole "romance" part (which they talked about in the trailers) had little freedom of choice and game of thrones like "you thought this character is important-but no". It seems to be a general idea to "tease and not deliver" in the game, which is interesting but in the and not enjoyable. 2/5
