Lets get one thing straight, this is really one of the best games to be released in the last 5 years as far as I can tell. In no particular order: Cinematography and art direction and amazing, some parts of the game just had me staring at the screen in awe. Runs smooth and looks amazing - playing in Ultra at 1080 on a Vega 56 and Gen5 Intel i7. Gameplay has alot going for it, the driving is as good as GTA, the RPG mechanics have me feeling like the same as when first playing STALKER, FPS mechanics and the feel of the guns is spot on ... having so much fun with the Smart Sniper Rifle... Storyline and RPG elements come together nicely and its been as much fun exploring Night City as first play through of Fallout New Vegas. I can understand the disappointment of last generation console players, but really 2077 is pretty much the next Crysis - the fact that certain hardware has a hard time is an unfortunate consequence of a developer making a scalable engine, and to be fair all the bugs that people are complaining about - I've only come across minor comedic events that don't effect gameplay at all. So while I can understand the feedback of some, it really seems like the hype of the launch has been translated into a hyped amount of negative feedback - with the most ridiculous comments, claiming that because the game is released on last gen or was developed through the last gen hardware's timeline - that the game itself is last gen and therefore should work flawlessly. Also some of the official reviews, sheesh... if you don't like a game just don't play it - don't pretend to give it your time and make out like it somehow short changed your on style or content and ethics. 9.5 / 10 ... will be played to death. And so happy after this s*** hole of year I've something to be happy about. Shame about the launch but I suspect the game will get the respect it deserves in due course. In my playthrough experience its good as Half Life was when it came out, easily.
