When I designed my character and the game kept jumping to the top slider instead of changing my eyebrows, tattoos, ..., I knew I was in for a ride. First of all, a quick disclaimer: I have not played much of the main story so far but only finished most of the side quests and random encounters in Watson. I did not enjoy doing so. Why? First of all, because my frame rate is awful, to put it mildly. I am running a Ryzen 5 1600, 32GB RAM clocked at 2933MHz and a 1060 6 GB. I should be able to run the game at High settings according to the reccomended hardware. I can absolutely not do that. While I can put anisotropic filtering to 16x, Textures to High and Shadows to High, this is only due to the high amount of RAM I have at my disposal. Even with everything else on Low or outright disabled I usually have no more than 40-45 frames running around Night City - without fighting anyone. There are quite a few games out there that are 5+ years old and look much better on my PC than Cyberpunk does on the max settings I can run it. Very disappointing already. Now, the game world. It is hollow and shallow. Quite a few parts of Night City are not accessible, and those that are fail to deliver a feeling of belonging. For example I could not care less about V's apartment. Never mind the fact that, unlike initially promised, there are no other safehouses or apartments you can buy or own. NPCs behave very weirdly; jumping down next to them triggers their fear animation and them running away. Starting a fistfight with a juiced up weightlifter causes them to cover in fear albeit being thrice your size, including his pals of the same size running away. Cars will not drive around your vehicles if you block the road, even after hours of ingame time. You can't visit any bars, brothels, restaurant or anything like that while exploring the city. Even San Andreas would allow you to hit the gym and work out. Cyberpunk doesn't. There is much more, but I am running out of characters. Laters.
