《赛博朋克 2077》

The main story line and the city (the map) itself are the only two things in this game that are anywhere near finished. Everything else is a buggy, unfinished, underdeveloped mess. It's a shame because this game had (or hopefully: has) so much potential. The lore, the art and the soundtrack at the foundation of this game are incredible. There's gameplay features here that sprang from great ideas but were never fully realized. This game needed at least another year of INTENSE development by a dedicated dev team. Then it might have been outstanding. What happened to "Will be released when it's ready."? This game is not ready. Was it pushed out for financial reasons or did you give in to the pressure of morons who kept complaining and even making threats on social media? Please fix this game, finish it. I'll gladly update my rating then and so will everyone else.

Firstly, I do enjoy the game, it's definitely not what I expected, mostly. I only watched a couple of trailers while waiting for the game so I wouldn't spoil myself anything, yet all the things I've seen on the trailer where in my "playthrough", thought I won't see them as "choice matters", but it didn't matter. Started it day 1, after every platform broke it finally launched, played 16 hours straight, didn't do much of the story as I went to random places after first couple of mission past the needless time skip, progressed story a bit and the game started getting cluttered with random side missions, people I've no idea about calling me about missions, wished I could find side missions when I wanted to try to find them instead of them being thrown at me, anyways, progressed story missions a bit made a break as NPC's started disappearing (like a few weeks break)so the game got a few patches in the mean time, continued to play till around 24 hours mark, NPC's still disappear, phone calls have no voice, issues persist. Well that's not too bad, only had 1 crash whole time playing, so I was quite lucky or so I thought.. Invulnerable NPC's appeared in the main mission. Sneak kills knocked the out, yet they could still detect me, shooting them did nothing, snuck past the mission somehow, but it continued to persist in the next missions. Okay, restart the mission, nothing. Restart the game, nothing. Load older save, nothing. Uhh.. I will try playing it again a bit later, but for now, as I can't even finish the game with so many varied endings (Yeah I searched it up, disappointment), can't rate any higher that this even though I really do like the game.

If we put aside all of the bugs and all broken promises from CDPR, this game is still average at best. The Night City: The game looks great at night, but not so much during the day. But it's dead. NPCs don't do anything interesting, there are no interesting encounters like in other open world games. It's an average to below average game world. The Gameplay: This is not an RPG, it's an action game with two to three choices on how to approach the situation. Either shoot, in which case the AI is pretty bad an unchallenging, hack, or stealth your way through, but there are no tense situations here like in Metro. You don't have fun and interesting upgrades like in Deus Ex, and those that are there, feel like something is missing. No immune system upgrades, no legendary eye sets, no leg sets above "rare" items? It's a below average RPG and an average action game with pretty dull encounters. The Story: As impressive as it looks at the start, the end leaves a lot to be desired. And there are a TON of plot holes once you look back at the story. Side missions and characters barely have any influence on the game end (barely because there is one that does). There are no interesting choices here like in Mass Effect 2. The plot is centered around 2 characters and a corporation, there are no grand themes. Do not expect Blade Runner style of epic story. Conclusion: Witcher 3 is among the top 5 games of all time for me. But this game is nowhere near that level of quality. Bugs will get fixed, but will they change and deepen core mechanics? Maybe. But at that point, this will not be Cyberpunk 2077, it will be some other future game. Cyberpunk 2077 was followed by a huge marketing hype train, and in my opinion, that train crashed into a wall of mediocrity.

No more preorder from CDProjektRED

I have it on PS4 Pro, and even if you dis-believe that all the bugs are gone, the world is shallow and the story is dull. It is not even a proper RPG. Very disappointed with my purchase!
