《赛博朋克 2077》

Guns, cars, city, shooting and melee all excellent. The story is awful, characters superficial and easily forgettable, the endings slapped together with duct tape, lines of dialogue borrowed from one lifepath and used in the other lifepaths. A rushed game, not living up to the hype and not bound to get better with patches. If they had spent perhaps another 1-2 years on it, to fix up the story, it would have lived up to the hype. Right now it's basically eurojank. If you get it, try to ignore the story as much as possible.

3 chars over 100 hrs I can confidently say Cyberpunk 2077 has a very serious narrative flaw that ruins the game from a RP immersion perspective. The problem is: following the prologue Heist sequence V has a built in sense or urgency with a week, maybe 2 to live. Things like “wait until the next day,” “wait a few days,” “come back later,” become infuriating. It’s this sense of urgency that makes completing the main story all that much more urgent. From a RP perspective - & I’d like you to put yourself in V’s place for this - why would V bother going around doing seemingly meaningless side quests & gigs? If you had only a week or two left to save your own life would you be going around doing time waster contracts? No! Combine this with the incredibly short main story & you have a disaster. It’s a massive failure in narrative design. Essentially all the side quests & gigs save the Judy, Panam, & Johnny quest lines should narratively take place before the Heist or not at all (given the endings). It just doesn’t make sense as V otherwise & requires massive suspension of disbelief. Combined with a non-existent gang system, poor customization (character, clothes, car), a poorly implemented rep system, lack of replay potential & inevitably it's not a very good game. Replay: There’s hardly any changes between lifepaths except opening & a few dialogue flavor options scattered. Til the end none of your choices matter. Saints Row 3 did everything this game tries but way better - & it was a parody. Removal of 3rd person, unforgivable. Forcing on of underwear despite disabling nudity filters & choosing genitalia rather than the censor is insulting (shower in panties even!). Blocking of macros and a bad crafting/upgrade system is horrid - hold a button 2 seconds 40+ times for many items? Just no. Character customization is bad. Can't tweak settings - it's just presets with very limited colors. The "big" (tiny) penis size is a joke seeing the huge dildos in the game.

It's hard to rate a game positive if it's broken. Few game updates came but I still get crash reports and can't play it at all. Tried updated drivers, windows, reinstaled game, set low graphics and etc. I hope they will fix it soon and I would change my mind about this game...

CDPR released an unfinished game engine demo, not a game. I dig the art style and the music though, so props to the artists, composers and designers. Maybe in a couple years they will manage to deliver on some promises they have made.

The game is OK, but nothing special. It has so much potential to be more, but misses the mark in several respects. Aside from some bugs (my playthrough only had a few minor bugs) the other issues are lackluster gameplay, poor balance, missing features, and some weird censorship decisions which seem to have been made just prior to release. The gameplay is is a bog standard shooter with some RPG elements. There are melee and stealth systems, but they're not robust and there's nothing here that you can't find in another game with those features. The balance is terrible - certain categories of weapons are completly overpowered even without getting perks to upgrade them (Tech weapons can pierce through walls and can be charged up to do major damage), others are terrible even if you try to spec into them (such as the Monowire melee cybernetic upgrade, which has no perks associated with it as opposed to the other melee options, and the damage buff you receive from investing in the "Cool" stat is negligible). The world is full of detail and looks beautiful, but you can interact with so little of it that it still somehow ends up feeling empty and lifeless. The vast majority of sidequests are inconsequential. Break in, kill/steal x, then leave. Some of the sidequests have unique dialogue and interactions, and lead to their own quest chains, but nowhere near enough of them, at least in comparison to the Witcher 3. Even the story felt lackluster. Most people seem to be content with the story, but I felt like the story was very frontloaded - there was some great buildup and emotoinal scenes near the beginning of the game which sucked me in, but as the game went on there started to be less and less of this, concluding in one of several endings which all felt anticlimactic and devoid of emotion to me. The game needs some major revision and fixes and feature creep in order to justify the price tag. If you want to play a shooter, play CoD. If you want to play an RPG, play TW3.
