    I'm not sure I understand the many negative reviews users on PC have given this game. It is buggy, and imperfect. It's not quite what CDPR promised in some respects.

It is buggy, and imperfect. It's not quite what CDPR promised in some respects. But it is a fun and intriguing open world RPG. Presumably the bugs will be fixed and the game will improve. I almost have to assume that many of the negative reviews from PC players are players running the game on a machine that barely makes the specs for the game--if your processor isn't up to the task, that can make NPCs behave strangely as the CPU struggles to handle all the calculations necessary for the NPC AI (alongside all the other calculations going on in this game). And so for many of the other reported bugs or errors.

    Whether the code can be optimized in such a way that lower-end processors can deal...well, we'll have to wait and see.

    Now, none of this is to say that CDPR doesn't deserve some sh*t for releasing a buggy mess. They shouldn't have done so. Still, what they have released is a ridiculously well-detailed open world with thousands of little intriguing stories to be discovered, some great (though not-quite-awesome) combat, cool (though similarly not-quite-awesome) character development mechanics, and most importantly, an absolutely chilling vision of the future toward which we are all barrelling.

    Reviews that have called the game world "shallow," "insipid," or "intrusive" have missed the entire point of the Cyberpunk genre, and should go read some Spider Robinson, William Gibson, and Pat Cadigan.

    In short: is the game perfect? Hell, no. Is it worth the time and money? On PC, hell yes.

    Just a great game, which like most 'hyped' games, then suffers from people who like to hate popular things.

As for the Rockstar fanboys enjoy playing games with a vast open world where the developers only utilize 20% of it during the story mode and milk you for years with online content that most people don't want. PS4 is trash and these review bombs are trash, go do something else while I enjoy playing the game. Anyone one else reading this the game is for sure worth giving a shot, there will be plenty of free updates and they are patching it constantly. Everything that is wrong with the game currently is fixable. the amount of sub 15 year olds in this thread smh, your parents should pay attention to the rating on the box. Expand

    Never in my life I've enjoyed triple A game this much. The plot is great, the architecture is extraordinary, NPCs are vibrant and unique, even shooting isn't bad (for a RPG game).

    I've quite enjoyed fighting with one of the main bosses this much, that I've decided to quickload and fight with him again, just to increase the fun by using more close combat style ;) - few moments of it were
    Never in my life I've enjoyed triple A game this much. The plot is great, the architecture is extraordinary, NPCs are vibrant and unique, even shooting isn't bad (for a RPG game).

    I've quite enjoyed fighting with one of the main bosses this much, that I've decided to quickload and fight with him again, just to increase the fun by using more close combat style ;) - few moments of it were literally - epic.

    I'm also enjoying the simple car rides through the Night City at night, both as driver and passenger. The flashing neons, the music, vibrant and living ambient and ever changing landscapes, architecture and colors - add good plot and narration to it and you've just got something awesome.

    And now, for the bad part.

    Crafting is meh. Not good, not bad, just meh.

    Playing with a xbox 360 controller is a pain when it comes to action. Which is a shame, considering having the ability to move/run fluidly. (which isn't possible with a keyboard) - aim assist doesn't work for me - it may be due to how old it is, but it's just bad nonetheless.

    Character creator - at first looked very nice and detailed, but after closer inspection.. well, it's quite basic. But maybe I'm exaggerating due to my experience with Eve Online's creator :)

    Driving model isn't too great too, especially when it comes to first-person view from the car. The FOV could be little bigger IMO. Also the minimap is just useless - most of the time, you have no idea when you will have to turn - it would be much better if it zoomed out a little (depending on speed?).
    Motorcycle drifts - I just hate it when I try to drift into a turn, and just at the end of a drift, my motorcycle rotates and straightens up for no reason, causing me to crash.
    And the vehicles are waay too jumpy IMHO.

    And last but not least, the bugs. Of course, there are many of them, but quite a few triple A games also have them. There are many, at first I had problems due to AVX bug, but most of the time, the game plays just fine, even on not too fresh hardware hardware.
    Few bugs are annoying, few can ruin the ambient, but they are so insignificant for me, that I mostly just ignore them. Mostly I just laugh, and laugh is healthy, so win-win I guess.

    To conclude: it's a great game with many innovations. It makes me laugh, it makes me sad, it makes me angry or happy. The movie-like atmosphere is just great. And bugs, at least on a mid-good PC, are bearable.
    Let's just hope that CDPR will give it a final polish (badum tsss) soon enough :)

    I find myself deeply conflicted trying to accurately rate this game. The things is that there's no way to deny all the things that are wrong with the games, which leads me to believe I must score it lower than 10.

However, much like a family member, I love this game despite all its faults. However, I must warn some more "active" players. This is not a typical game! This plays much more like a movie or a book than a game. In Cyberpunk 2077 you get to experience the world through the eyes of V much more than you get to play god as you would in may RPGs.

    I know how it sounds... but honestly. I cannot remember a single game in history that can top CP77 in terms of:
    +Story
    +Immersion
    +Graphics
    +Memorable moments
    +Architecture
    +Facial expression
    +Voice acting

    Never before have a game world captivated me so much that I genuinely miss spending time with a bunch of lines of codes, the characters and the moments they bring are simply cutting edge.

    That said, there are a bunch of things the game does so bad as well:
    -Thousands of bugs/glitches, both quest breaking and immersion breaking (at times)
    -Horrible looting/clothing system. Why on earth go for a washed down WoW type loot system? Awful decision. Makes the loot feel totally forgettable and redundant. Every new item is just another number, its rarity or type doesn't matter, only the dps/armor
    -Awful driving mechanics
    -Highly questionable skill trees and power-progression, feels both under-worked and underwhelming
    -Way too arbitrary cybernetics, many of which are just another cheap "perk". Double jump was one the few ones that actually felt like a real cybernetic upgrade.. but even that one should have displayed new legs to reflect the change in bio.

    SO.... All said and done. It has many flaws, but despite those it delivers such a heart warming (and breaking) experience that I will never forget it.

    Thank you CPR for the best gaming experience in my life.

    Yes there are minor issues here and there, but nothing serious on pc and we all asked for it to be released even though they several times tried to tell us it wasn't ready. Yes ofc it shouldn't have been released for last gen consoles at all, or just not yet. Stop crying, pretend the game has been delayed again and open it in March when it has been fixed with patches. Problem solved. Or buy a pc. Playing on rtx 2070, may upgrade to 3080 to play 4k at Oled.

Yeah, performance is bad and game has lot of bugs, but it's still pretty playable and enjoyable after all. I really liked it, it's like i was playing fallout, but better(and with same strange bugs)

    De lo mejorcito que juego en mucho tiempo y que me consigue enganchar totalmente por la historia. A nivel de rpg se avanza según distintas builds muy interesantes y que se adaptan muy bien según el propio estilo del jugador. El diseño de personajes, ropa, posters, todo...es brutal. Una pena que las físicas no estén 100% pulidas y que no haya algo más de interacción con la ciudad

    After 150+ hours: Story, characters, music, atmosphere, graphics and Night City are awesome. The combat is good and can be very varied if you want to be creative. The AI is sub par, and the police spawning is just terrible. While it's not perfect, all of the greatness outweighs the bad sides.

    Now when it's score went from 86 to 85 it's officially over. You can't promote your game as something epic, gamechanger, next-gen open world and then have score of 85. Not that these score matter, because way, way better games than cyberpunk 2077 have lower scores than 85. But all i'm saying is that even "professional reviewers" gave up on it and that's something to archive.

    I am still in awe. Not because this game is awesome, which it most definitely is, but because of all the unneeded negativity surrounding Cyberpunk 2077.

    These days it's fun to game bash, especially when expectations don't coincide with reality. The Witcher 3 was an amazing game, no doubt, but this (Cyberpunk 2077) was never suppose to be the Witcher 4! This is an open world, retro futuristic, first person RPG that was designed and coded in just over two small years! (Red Dead Redemption 2 on the other hand, another open world with RPG elements, had a development cycle of 7 years!) What the designers at CDPR have done in the time allotted to them is nothing short of amazing...bugs and all.

    Let's talk about perfection for a second. It doesn't exist! Flashback to 1997 a young boy is playing Ocarina Of Time, his mouth is slack jawed, reeling from the three dimensional playground which is Hyrule. He is running through a temple, the Great Deku Tree and decided to fight a giant skeleton spider. His camera suddenly clips through his enemy and sees eternal blue... the eternal nothingness of outside the game. A second later the camera rights itself and he gets hit by his enemy....oh no he gets knocked backwards and flies off the edge of a cliff and dies. Still razzled from what just happened the young boy presses continue and starts again, dedicated to reaching the end.

    Fast forward to Cyberpunk 2077. The child is now a man with perspective. He has learned that nothing is perfect, yes he may clip through a wall, and yes, an enemy may materialize from nowhere and shank his ass. But this does not matter to him. Experience has shown him that these things are nothing but motes of dust compared to the journey he is on. The beauty of Night City surpasses the mild disturbance of a glitch. The people he meets along the way, chalk full of personality, over shines the fact that any second a car may appear out of nowhere and run him over.

    It is my opinion that Cyberpunk 2077 gives way more then it takes. The journey is fun and thoughtful and dark and above all worth it.

    For me, and my friends, games were always out of politics (except Call of Duty series). It was a place where I could get rest. It was not a tool in the hands of politicians. Unfortunately, these days are gone now.

    CDRP, you were one of the companies who I trusted. Who, as I though, do the industry better.

    I will never forget how surprised I was when I opened a box with Witcher 3, and found there a flyer.

    I was not just a piece of paper, but with words. With Words of gratitude from you. You were thanking me, your ordinary customer, for that I bought your product. And my first thought was - these guys like their job. That's how a good company should treat itself with its clients.

    I respected your company. I have all of your games. Moreover, I bought The Witcher 3 for PS4 and PC with all the DLC. I bought Cyberpunk, and wasn't hating you, like your real "fans" did. I understood that this game was really important not only for you, but for the whole industry. And it's not your fault that customers overhyped the game and the game didn't match their expectation that they had in their heads. And yes, you fixed the game and now its playable.

    Unfortunately, recently, you completely crossed out everything for which I loved and respected you by stopping the sales of your games on the territory of my country. Understand that people who play games have nothing in common with the terrible events that are happening now.

    And you just decided to hype. Just like those who poured **** on cyberpunk. And you decided to be a tool in the hands of politicians.

    I ask you to pay attention that you WERE a company that had a truly popular love in Russia. The key word - WERE. And this is not only my opinion.

    I wish you a successful future in the markets, which you feel deserve your games.

    Nobody needs you in Russia anymore. And most of all to your fans, whom you shamelessly spat in the face.

    Go f*ck yourself.

    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.
