Cyberpunk 2077

A Misadvertised Technical Mess

This is a hard one to make, after so many years of waiting and marketing feeding us lies... literally. Let's get the obvious stuff out of the way: Bugs happen, way too often. Performance, is awful, so here's my specs first: * RTX 2070Super with latest drivers * Ryzen 3600 * 16GB DDR4 Memory@3200Mhz * Game installed on 1TB NVMe drive At 1440p, with DLSS turned on, the game can't keep a steady 65fps at MEDIUM and LOW mixed settings. Also, despite my NVME drive, the game stutters when driving fast and I still experience texture pop-in. Now, to the misleading marketing and lies part: * This is NOT an RPG. At best it's a linear looter shooter with RPG elements. Barely any of your choices matter, your V acts the same regardless of your lifepath. * NPC and Driving AI does NOT exist. Everyone goes in straight lines and stops if you are in front of them, they won't do anything. No interaction to be done with them. * Open-World is shallow and lifeless. No minigames, can't change your hairtstyle or body. No interactivity with AI. Even TRAFFIC LIGHTS don't work, they are literally Red in the distance and cars go past them, but they FADE to(not switch, but FADE) to green if you get close enough to a traffic light. Enemy AI is awful and stiff, paired with bullet sponge health regardless of your level and gun damage, because they keep leveling up to you automatically. The bugs and performance can be fixed, I can look past them, but the shallow, lifeless state of the world and design decisions can't be fixed, ever. CDPR gained a lot of trust and goodwill with The Witcher 3, which also launched in a questionable state, but they lost it all with this game, and I didn't even talk about the shady practices they pulled with reviews lol
