Cyberpunk 2077

Look the premise of the game is good, cinematics are good and story is good. The problem is anything you do outside quest cinematics is packed full of all kinds of bugs. I bought the game at launch and every time they push a new patch through I try to start a new playthrough but don't get that far into it because the sheer frequency of bugs showing up that completely breaks any immersion you start to build. So here is just a very small list of things I've seen in my latest playthrough on patch 1.3 (9 months after the release): - Inputs freeze after you alt tab from the game - Chase a hacked Delamain and said Delamain just ends up freezing in the air (had to steal a car just to use it as a platform to be able to reach the Delamain that froze in the air) - One of the very first missions in Arasaka tower NPC guards appear out of nowhere right behind you, - Got the quest to from the dude who lives in your building to join a shooting contest. I go there, get through the quest then get out and every one in the building is doing the whole panic move where they crouch and don't move. - I was driving my car through the city and just very slightly clipped a pedestrian NPC with it (they didn't even fall down). Next thing everyone just starts to straight out run in panic or do the stupid crouch in fear thing. - I was on a mission where you have to go into a wharehouse that has a lot of explosives lying around. I killed all NPCs and was just looting items and then all of a sudden my character gets to like 2hp. I look around and it looks like this weird physics engine they have randomly threw the gas tank when I was walking close to it. And I'm not even talking about all the mechanics (like interractions with the police) that they promised and didn't deliver. CDPR, I hope it was worth chewing through all that goodwill that you've build up with Witcher 3. After this botched release, you're on the same level as all of your scummy industry peers like EA or Ubi etc.

A half complete game, not even close to Witcher 3.

The game is good, the characters, their stories, the setting, the graphics (minus the lifeless city),the gameplay (minus the crafting and shallow RPG elements) are well done imo, but the glitches and bugs really pull me out of the imersion of the game even after all this time they can't seem to figure out how to fix the random pop ins, pedestrian being stuck on walls or having cars disapear out of nowhere when you turn away from them. And that's me not even taking into consideration how pretty much half of the sh!t promised is not even in the game. This is what CDPR is gonna be sadly imo, because we as gamers let it happen. CDPR will become one of those overpromising and underdelivering companies like EA or Ubisoft. Welp if they are gonna make their games like this I'm just gonna wait about 2 years after the game's launch until it's in a somewhat playable state and only gonna buy it at half price, hey you give me half of the promises? I'll give you half of the money. You dropped the ball with this one CDPR. Good thing the writting is still really good in your games. 7/10 and if we are couinting what was promised to us it's a 5/10.

I purposely avoided info about this game while it was in development so as not to get my hopes up. I feel like CDPR dropped the ball on this one, and regret having pre-ordered. Keybinds are all jacked up. How did you not catch this considering the first thing most people do is configure graphic options and keybinds prior to even playing. My mouse cursor randomly jumps around and scrolls up/down on the character creation screen making it very difficult to even get started. The chargen itself is pretty lame as well with few choices and weird colors. Very unstable frame rate and lots of graphical oddities. The vehicle controls are terrible, and I am unable to exit the vehicle at the games start. Graphics are also a mixed bag. Even at 4k it reminds me of a console game from a few years back that has been hastily ported to pc with little to no regard for improvement or optimization.

How did they manage to miss the mark on so many levels? It's an OK game riddled with bugs, poor decisions, and cut corners.
