This was a real disaster at launch. After a couple years it's the polished experience it should have been since day1.
This game is really HARDCORE TO THE MEGA!!!
I love CD Projekt RED and fully support them. I've been quite vocal anywhere Cyberpunk 2077 was involved: I tried to defend CD Projekt RED's great failure, stating that this developer fully earned our trust and respect and we should wait for them making Cyberpunk 2077 fully playable on medium specs rigs and past-gen consoles. By the way I believe this developer deserves our trust way more than many others that we mindlessly support: we gamers waited for Bethesda having their ATROCIUSLY AND AMATEURISHLY BUILT videogames fixed by us, we the people, we PC Gamers and Modders that actually created all the fixes for TES IV (2006 and still buggy) TES V (2011 and still buggy) and the various Fallout spinoffs from Bethesda that wouldn't even be playable if WE GAMERS from the modding community didn't fix them and yet we never shitstormed Bethesda as hard as we are doing with Projekt RED. BUT I regret to say that in late 2021 Cyberpunk2077 is still unplayable even at lowest graphics settings on a rig that can easily sustain Doom2016 at up to 200 frames per second at Ultra settings. Cyberpunk 2077 is still a mess as of late November 2021: as an advanced user I needed a full evening to patch the game myself and find a way to start it (because as it is sold IT DOESN'T EVEN START UP!) and I could barely manage to finish the badly written and totally unplayable unfunny opening sequence only for the game to crash my whole rig as soon as I entered Night City. Found no way to fix that. Immediate refund. If you do not have the very latest high-end rig, I mean a 5k+ euros rig freshly bought in late 2021, don't even think about this game running properly for you. And even at that point it might randomly crash or act up in strange ways. I'll give it a try again in 2023 because I really want to love this game, for now is 1 Star out of 5.
That's it. The Monkey Island saga is probably one of the greatest and most important things happened to human art in the '90s, and they gave us this messy remake which adds lots of bugs, a couple of which will completely stall your game and kill it, rendering it impossible to finish. In 2021 they haven't patched the game yet. That's offensive and amateurish.
