Cyberpunk 2077

Victim of its own hype and ambition

I had a ton of data but this 2k limit forced me to chop more than half of my points, so s*ck it, GOG. You're getting the bare bones. Summary: Might be better in a year, like No Man's Sky, but if you buy now expect a rough experience. Pros: * Beautiful world, even with my ancient (RTX 970) GPU * Excellent voice-acting and character development * Great action, and ability to choose what approach your character will use. (guns/hacking/melee/etc) * Decent level of tactics to choose from, based upon weapon type alone (eg: power[wall-punch] vs smart[seeking]) * Really big map * Good method of fast travel * Two of the endings really got to me - had me silently tearing up, even. Cons: * Borderlands-esque weapons/armor - you collect and sell tons of crap (for WAY more than you get paid for sidequests, sometimes) to find the occasional high-end piece. * Can't pick up the item right in front of your pointer - gotta pick up crap all around you first, before you can. > Also applies to weapon pickups - gotta loot bodies and still spam 'F' until you get their weapon. * Sometimes ho-hum of Keanu's voice-acting when it should be more intense. * The one collectible (Zodiac) can never be completed past 10 of 12, as it's erratically tied into the endings. * When driving, mini-map doesn't zoom out, making turns harder to spot 'cause you're watching traffic, not the mini-map * Crafting is broken: > Costs 1/3 of my endgame-hoarded rare consumeables to craft a single Epic weapon/clothing that sucks > Quickhack (ie: "hacking viruses") recipes disappear from crafting menu after crafting, and can't regain them (??) > Better free recipes takes way, way high Crafting levels - I built a lot of consumables, never got past level ~7, of 20 * Cyberdeck inventory sucks: > Can never uninstall old quickhacks, just overwrite them > Buy a new deck, gotta re-acquire quickhacks * On rare occasions, can't hack - gotta exit scanning mode, move around, then try again. Very bad, in close combat.
