    The hype train was real with this one, but unfortunately those playing on a base ps4; myself included should feel cheated and blindsided by CDPR.

    hey cdpr maybe release the game finished and for ps5 thanks :) to imagine that this was supposedly supposed to release back in April is just sad. witcher 3 was so great but I guess this was just a one-hit-wonder company

    Absolutely incredible... it released with bugs, yes, and yeah it released with poor optimization on pc and last gen consoles, but with every patch some issues get fixed. The game should have been delayed one more time for another two or three months, but I'm personally loving this game as my experience has been relatively unhampered (2 reloads due to bugs in 20 hours of gameplay? meh).

    I won't let how riddled with bugs the game is influence my review (yes, it would be even lower if i did that), although the bugs did keep me from progressing more than once, not to mention the bugs that rip you out of the experience like weapon-models not loading, floating cigarettes, t-pose models floating around etc., because i'm pretty sure those will get patched in time.

    Despite being able to freely create your own character and choose her/his skills, CDP actually made this less of an rpg than Witcher 3 is. As Geralt you could at least make decisions, as V you just follow the given path. Even unlocking dialog-options by having a skill be high enough will just give you 1-2 additional sentences that change absolutely nothing about the outcome of the conversation, before plunging you back into the path laid out before you.

    The controls are spongy even on foot, while vehicle controls feel like steering a brick on ice skates, and the UI is comletely overloaded and just plain ugly, although at least the last point is down to personal preference.

    What already drove me crazy in Witcher 3 was how you could just go into any building, anywhere, and just take everything not nailed to the ground, and not a single soul would give a flying f**k. The Police might teleport into a private basement if you stealth kill someone without witnesses, but they don't care if you steal something, no matter how expensive it is. Infiltrated a strip-joint of a gang that doesn't like you, standing in the bosses office right in front of him? Take everything he ownes, he doesn't care. Log into his computer and read his emails right under his nose, he doesn't give a s**t. And those are just a few of many points that rip me personally right out of the experience and make clear to me that this is just a game with a lot of design decisions that are questionable at best.

    CDP is able to make great games, as they've shown with Witcher 3. But they have no talent whatsoever for roleplaying games. Cyberpunk has a lot of potential as a great 1st Person Cyberpunk GTA, but even that will take a lot of post-launch work.

    I'll continue to try giving the game a chance, but i'm already close to giving up and just installing Deus Ex again. That one might not be perfect, but it's a lot closer to the Cyberpunk RPG that i wished Cyberpunk would've been.

    Edit: Playing on PC, Ultra settings without raytracing, apart from the bugs it runs great.    … Expand

    This is true next gen in almost everyway, graphics, lighting, writing, performance (not hardware performance (Bugs) at this moment but of the story), but that being said GTA V was getting similar frame rates on PS3 and 360.... its just the nature of the beast....

I also think that when development started they were thinking the hardware was going to be much further along especially on GPU design (everything looked on pace during the 10 series Nvidia graphics cards, then a pretty much 5 year lag for true "Next gen" versus the 10 series, no competition AMD non competing etc) but a lot of people don't realize the amount of features they were able to (want, forced, paid RTX*) to incorporate into the game, the impact of that on performance, the development cycle of creating so many versions of the game while trying to debug and polish them all at once.

    I have played a bit about 9 hours, with DLSS quality I get 54 to 60 (V sync at 60) at 4K performance is good to great for me, several hard crashes (to desktop), I own the Witcher III, but could never get into it due to feeling lock into this "Movie" masquerading as a game. I feel like they were able to bridge the gap with this one. Feels more like a game than non skippable endless cut scenes, GTA except with good to better than good gun play, GTA with Good to Decent driving ( I don't crash like I did in GTA not due to limited skill, but the game mechanics of it being better/more controllable). Last gen consoles was going to be a blood bath and the only known quantity in performance they would have had and should have known it would not run/perform in a meaningful manner a repurposed mobile processor and a mid to budget level 8 year old to 5 year old GPU, (only so far you can downgrade a game until its a fuzzy soup of an image).

I get floating items weapons vehicles and people all the time. When my character goes in the club nobody moves and their voices are all the same. I have had people walk down the street in a t pose. On a fairly regular basis I can't choose what to say during a conversation. Only way to fix this is reset the game. When I pick up a body and move it to a new spot. When I try to drop the body my character decides to throw the body across the room. About 50% of the time I character has hair. Sometimes I can pick up an item sometimes I cannot. I played all the Witcher games on the PC and on the consoles and never once did I ever put the game down in frustration from Bugs. I don't remember having any game breaking bugs at all on The Witcher 3. But as of right now I'm thinking about just putting the game down and up trying to play it until they fix this game. I blame the upper management for forcing out a game that was not finished. Just so they can get their bonuses. When I heard they're pushing the game back I was very happy. Because I thought they were doing it to polish up the game. If this is their idea of polishing, it must have been a biger piece of crap before they push this game back. In a few months if they fix the game I'll gladly change my score to a 10 out of 10. Because minus the bugs everything has been amazing.… Expand

    This games problems stem much deeper than just poor performance.

    Everything in this game: gunplay, driving, map orientation, waypoints (gps), hand to hand combat, crafting, no preview of clothing, no proper way of categorizing your loot to quickly sell all the stuff you don't wanna keep or breaking things down for crafting materials every piece of gear has to be dealt with individually, AI, climbing/parcouring, police/wanted system, high amount of useless and repetetive loot, scanning glows up the whole world cluttering your screen, repetetive enemy voice lines, enemy guards turn hostile out of nowhere, repetetive side missions (outside of a few well made missions most of the police support missions and assassinate missions are pretty much all the same - bad guys even respawn at the excact same location you killed them earlier and much much more. Honestly the list is endless. This is not about hating the game. I wanted it to be great like anyone else. I think it has the potential to be great. The foundation, the vision and the ambition is there and you can see glimpses of it and feel it throughout the city but the issues this game has far outshine the good things (like the characters, story telling, general atmosphere/vibe within the city, style). This really feels like a beta or early access version and not a finished product with how buggy, glitchy and janky it is. You can still have some fun with it sure, but is this the legendary game they where selling? Hell, even if you didn't buy into the hype, the state this game was released in is unacceptable. How are so many people okay with an obviously unfinished product is beyond me and all those payed high score reviews are just pitiful.

    I am deeply disappointed in CDPR. I am sure, I know some of these developers worked their asses of and where really passioned with this project and like I said, you can see the ambition within the world but ultimately where powerless against the will of the suits to push this game out far far to early. Just imagine what would have been possible with one or even two more years of development.

    I hate to compare games but just look at Red Dead Redemption 2 and tell me Cyberpunk 2077 right now, is on the same level. No just no and I am not even much of a fan RDR2.    … Expand

    Cyberpunk 2077 set out with really ambitious goals during its development. At release, you can see some of the promise the game holds, but there are bugs in the game.

The game is absolutely beautiful, and really pushes things forward. Others, I expect will be fixed or reworked in a future patch. I don't have a super high end PC, but I can use reasonable graphic settings (medium) I get 100+ FPS, or I can turn on the eye candy and get 30-35 FPS. Now, 30-35 FPS isn't great, but it is the smoothest experience I have ever had at that framerate. No stutters, no jerks, just really really smooth at 30 FPS, which isn't something that I expected.

    At any rate, I'm about 20 hours into the game, and from what I can tell, I'm pretty sure that I am less than half way through the game at this point. I expect that my first play through will be 80-200 hours. I am enjoying the game as it is, but I do look forward to the upcoming patches that fix the glitches that for me so far have been rather minor. A game crash here, a floating person there, but nothing that keeps me from progressing or continuing to play.

    Lots of trolls on metacritic who are obviously trying to downrate the game by giving it a score of 0. Just look past them, and enjoy the game, you won't regret it.    … Expand

    The best metaphor for Cyberpunk 2077 is Johnny Silverhand himself. A messiah, a mix of Kurt Cobain and Che Guevara, a talented singer who loves to shape his own legend and has a charming personality but loses the struggle with his own demons. The same goes for the game. It tells a great story and forced me to ask myself difficult questions, but many of its gameplay mechanics do not evolve and its technical state upon release was abysmal. Cyberpunk’s true hero is not a person, but Night City – a vibrant, living creature of great diversity. The beauty of the metropolis is striking. [01/2021, p.22]

    Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the most disturbing and mind-blowing RPGs in history, where every decision has a deep impact on our trail. CD Projekt RED tosses us to the center of a city filled with disgusting delights where every character deserves our attention in an immersive experience and overall, very rewarding. From the sarcastic and shadowy tone imposed by the countless scenes in the game, to the flexibility we have on the choices to face every situation that is presented, Night City is truly memorable. It’s a shame that the countless bugs spoil or diminish the impact of some resounding moments, but we are without a question, in the presence of one of the best games in 2020.

    Measured against the extreme expectations, Cyberpunk 2077 can't fulfill any of them. But all in all, despite the countless small weaknesses and inconsistences, with interesting characters, great story and dialogues or the freedom concerning gameplay, CD Projekt delivers a unique and great RPG that every fan of the genre needs to play.
