    This "fantastic next-gen" rip-off really makes you feel that you live in 2020.

    Let down big time so poorly optimised, I'm playing on PS5 it crashes constantly also the "RPG" elements are fleeting at best alot of the skill trees feel dragged out and the dialogue options are very limiting in terms of player choice it almost always shoe horns you into the same story arch NOT THE GAME THAT WAS ADVERTISED

    yeah i understand your situation, the game needs to be more optimized while billions of people are waiting for the game, i would say better make another delay again rather than rushing the game to launch but ended up getting lot of people disappointed

    if you guys are planning to buy this better think about it or wait for further notice patch

    Complete disappointment, everything is blurry, got stuck in objects, seen vehicles fall from the sky. It looks like one of the first games that got released on the OG ps4. The only good thing I can say is at least the story is decent. Playing on a PS5

    This game made Fallout 4 look perfect and fallout 4 is far from it. The AI of the NPCs kill the game. (Cars will stop moving if your car stop in front of them. Enemies will just move slowly if they don't spot you and all you have to do is stay far away and hack them).

    The amount of reviews that gave this 10/10 with the review being "BEST GAME EVAAAH" and no real explanation is too high for this dumpster fire, which makes me think CDPR is just getting phantom accounts to boost their score.

    Pros: - Huge, beautiful city with a lot of detail - Cool story (please be aware creator made this in the 80s so might be a little too 80s for some people)
    The amount of reviews that gave this 10/10 with the review being "BEST GAME EVAAAH" and no real explanation is too high for this dumpster fire, which makes me think CDPR is just getting phantom accounts to boost their score.

    Pros:
    - Huge, beautiful city with a lot of detail
    - Cool story (please be aware creator made this in the 80s so might be a little too 80s for some people)

    Cons:

    - No AI: most NPCs are scripted and repeat the same damn thing over and over without reacting to anything, they have one or two lines if prompted to talk and if you punch anyone on the street the entire street will start running and huddling in fear even though this is some worst city to live in the dystopian future.
    - No driving AI: NPCs are scripted to go from A to B, if you set an obstacle in front of them they wait forever, they won't try to go around you, and if you point a gun at them they don't react at all, this is why there are no car chases except the main story scripted ones.
    - No police AI: As soon as you commit a crime, cops spawn behind you even if you're in a closed room and just kill you, if you lose line of sight they despawn just like that, if you get in a car they can't drive since no driving AI so they just despawn.
    - Non interactable world: You enter a room, there's an arcade, a place to sit, drinks, etc. but you can only interact with the door - you can't eat, drink, sit down, play minigames, pick up objects - it's all dead weight and shallow detail
    - Physics: While a shotgun can knockback NPC's and they flinch when shot, enemies are bullet sponges and there is 0 detail on them when they get shot, they all look brand new even if you empty 2 mags in them. After they die, they fall down in weird stiff positions, usually with their legs up in the air.
    - Driving: cars feel like they weigh as your average shopping cart, swerving as if they're made of plastic and steering and handling is horrible.
    - Gunplay: decent for an RPG, nothing innovative and sometimes clunky. Melee is horrible, with a few stiff animations and no real weight, think of Fallout melee if not worse.
    - Customization: After creating your character with mediocre options (a low amount of presets, nothing new or not seen), you can't really customize or even see your character. There are no cutscenes so you can't even see yourself unless you get to a mirror, at which you have to press a button to see yourself. No clothing shops, no tattoo parlors, not even a barber for this "stylish" future. You can't customize vehicles either, and can only buy preset cars during missions.
    -Story NPCs: Are just that, story NPCs. Other than you starting and interacting with them in a mission, they can't be companions or interactable otherwise. Most NPC's that give you quests do it over the phone, so you don't even see most NPCs or interact with them at all. Very shallow and underwhelming.
    -UI: Convoluted UI that breaks immersion way too often, all the enemies are highlighted in red, and all the items you can interact with are highlighted in a filter as well, inventory is a mess.
    -Crafting: Convoluted and utterly useless and pointless.
    -Clothing: All the clothing is gated with stats, which means if you're playing higher difficulty you will look like a complete doofus in order to have good stats. Want to look good? You're probably going to die a lot, but since you can't even see yourself, it doesn't really matter.
    -Side quests: Very repetitive, think GTA cop missions etc. You get calls from these story tellers that you won't even interact with, only to do menial tasks that get boring real quick.
    -Life paths: Picking a life path is only important for the first three hours, after that you become a street rat/merc and have a few dialogue options down the line that slightly change information you receive but that's it.
    -Dialogue options: It's Fallout 4 all over again in 90% of the cases. Your options are "Yes", "Yes, but I don't like it", "Yes, but tell me more" and "No." Very basic and linear.

    All in all, Cyberpunk2077 is a beautiful, yet extremely shallow and disappointing world. It's like if you dug out a zombie out of the grave only to give it a boob job and assjob and put on some make up on it. There's a lot of detail but minimal interaction, the AI of Cyberpunk NPC's makes Skyrim NPC's feel like elaborate individuals with complex personalities and motives, and the gameplay is just below average compared to any other RPG that did these mechanics better. And this is all without mentioning the poor optimization and bugs. Overhyped mess that feels like a quick cash grab, would not recommend.

    Cyberpunk 2077 is a big budget project that flops. It is a soul-less game with a mediocre storyline and just a horrible experience from beginning to end. For a game in 10 year development, it is a disappointment.

    Cyberpunk 2077 is a big budget project that flops. It is a soul-less game with a mediocre storyline and just a horrible experience from beginning to end. For a game in 10 year development, it is a disappointment.

    The characters are uninspiring with no likeable traits. Unlike many main lead character from AAA games, for example, Arthur Morgan in RDR2, the protagonist V in Cyberpunk is just another generic protagonist. The voice acting is inconsistent from act to act, and immature and whiny at times. Every character in Cyberpunk 2077 will be irrelevant in the next few months once the media done drinking the cool-aid.

    The gameplay is underwhelming and that is a compliment. With or without the bugs, the fight is just boring. Guns have no real physics that affects shooting. Landing headshots after headshots makes for repetitive experience unless you are a fan of John Wick/Johnny Silverhand. Not to mention bullet sponge enemies that soaks up more bullets than in the Division. The driving mechanics is just awful and reminiscent of Driver from PS1 era. Hand combat is worst than Mike Tyson's punch out, even Little Mac throws better punches.

    Cyberpunk is definitely the most overhype game of this decade and won't be the last. Considering that WB published the game, I'm sure there will be a sequel. Lord, please spare real gamers the pain and agony from a poor product hyped by the positive reviews from non-gamers.

    I give 1 point for effort.

    The 4 hours i did play was so buggy that it really made it hard to enjoy the game. But then the game made the decision for me to stop playing altogether when it stopped working due to a stoppage in game progression bug. So now i cant interact with anyone. Including the main story.

    Where to start with this mess? Okay, first off, the looks - this is billed as a native HDR game, it's clearly not. The black levels are elevated to the point that there's absolutely no real black in the game, giving it a washed out look. This is clearly an SDR game that's pretending to be HDR compliant.

So it looks rubbish. Frame rate dips - on a machine that's got this much compute power (for a console)? Inexcusable, and shows that this game has in no way been optimised for the Series X. Next up: gameplay. The same tired old quest designs, the same game mechanics. This game plays like an 8 year old game.

    I'm also not a fan of a game that ships on TWO discs and still has an almost 50Gb day one update. Come on, you had literally years to get this game to a playable state and you delivered this? I knew it would never match the hype, but this is a joke right? CDPR have produced a dated, poorly finished beta test, nothing more.

    In all reality there'll be many, many updates totalling hundreds of Gb and we'll end up with a great game over the course of the next year or so. But that's NOT what we were promised, that's NOT what we ponied up our cash for.

    Am I the only one who is sick to death of these absolutely massive and constant updates? Either ship a stable, playable game from day one or just wait until you can. Anything else is nothing more than what Cyberpunk 2077 currently is: a scam.

    After the witcher 3 I was expecting a great game from dcpr, bug, graphic problem, ai not existing.... yes it has some good idea and some cool scenario but if I take RDR2 and I compare the open world ai bug and graphic cyberpunk come out as a 3rd party software game overhyped and not delivering to the expectation.

    Disappointment of the decade. The developers consciously made the decision to lie to their players by withholding information about how terrible the game would run on consoles. The game is overall unfinished and rather boring, relying far too much on the shock value of sex and bad words to entertain the player, which gets boring very quickly. Overall, absolutely terrible.

    Story is not original and interesting - they suck in making storyline by themselves. All solutions - combat, shooting, moving, dialogues... It's like I saw it before - mix of many other (and better) games. It took them 8 years to make such a buggy **** Now I know why Witcher was good - they had ready story.

    I managed to dodge all the hype for this game (which I do as a general policy) and I'm still disappointed. I can absolutely understand there being bugs, optimization issues, and older hardware not even being able to run the game. It's this generations Crysis that's to be expected. What I can NOT understand is how the game can ship so blatantly unfinished after 8 years of development.I managed to dodge all the hype for this game (which I do as a general policy) and I'm still disappointed.

What I can NOT understand is how the game can ship so blatantly unfinished after 8 years of development. The AI is the laziest you will ever see in a next gen game. Games from circa 2005 had better traffic and crowd AI. Advertised features such as brain dance are unimplemented and it's fairly obvious they were meant to apply in more than just story mission. Police literally teleport right behind you. It's not an in universe thing either: they just pop in. Weapon mods are very scant and weapons and gear in general are only incremental changes based on leveling. Kind of makes crafting a waste of time.

    All I can think is... what the hell were these guys doing the whole 8 years?

    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.
