    Console players giving a score of 0 on the PC version, that runs fine. Pretty cheap.

    Feel betrayed, and not because I was on the hype-train, and my expectations were unrealistic. I really don't mind the bugs, which will be ironed out surely.

I really don't mind the bugs, which will be ironed out surely. The issue is with the empty shell of a game if you go beyond the main quest - total immersion, living city, impactful decisions? Forget it. It does not worth 60 EUR. CDPR was one of the trusted game developers for me - I will never pre-order or buy their games at full price.

    Now, after 150 hours of play (and I am only at the beginning of Act 2) I can say that if you strip the game of the fancy looks etc, it is just a basic unoptimized, totally unbalanced, pretty looter-shooter at this stage. One might ask why would I complain if I sank 150 hours into this, and why would it not worth the full price? Answer is simple: I sank 500 hours plus into e.g. tetris, still it wasn't 60 USD. I mean I can happily waste my time on youtube/facebook etc for hours, so playtime is not a good argument for the price of the game, sorry.

    The bottom line is that CDPR should have waited for an other year at least to release this, but they were greedy, so shame on them big time !! They also shouldn't have created such high expectations with over promising on features. It is good that they were ambitious, but should have done reality checks waaaay more often, and sync with / slap their PR/marketing folks.

    The signs are everywhere: some elements of the game are brilliant, and finished, like car interiors, most details in the buildings of Night City.

    Most are half-baked, like the combat mechanics (all combat, but brawling is the worst), weapon usage and stats, merchants and stores (very simple), hacking, even the character creation at the start.. It is not an RPG, no consequences, no intricate changes to the story based on character decisions, nothing.

    Some are downright a disgrace: the economy and trading in the game, including ripperdocs, the crafting system, police AI and AI in general for that matter. Many praise the graphics, but if you look in the details, there are issues there too: just check the shadow of your player character: shoulders are detached (wtf?), cars in the distance are a joke (just jpgs moving on a canvas), and were put there in the last moment to save on computer resources apparently. Don't get me started on the bugs which are totally immersion breaking - and there are a lot, I mean a lot.. trees are glitching, characters / cars respawn from mid-air and break/blow up (wtf?), V dies while walking, characters/weapons are sunk into the ground frequently, many times you cannot even pick them up, and the list just goes on and on..

    No, this game was far from ready to be released. None of the versions, including the PC, which CDPR is "proud of": they shouldn't be in this state. They should be ashamed that they gave in, and released it like this. I don't think they comprehend and anticipate how much they lost on the long term. And for what? They should have invested more on investor relations and manage the expectations there, rather than pouring millions to promoting the game.

    This game could have been a brilliant masterpiece, but would have needed years more of development. If they promised less features, they would have been able to deliver a relatively polished version in 2021. But of course they should have fired everyone who did the PR and marketing for them first: those guys are completely detached from reality in terms of what is possible in 2020 in game design and creation.

    Finally, while we are on the "waste of space" topic... I don't get how the game critics gave 100% and 10/10 for this - the game review industry is clearly broken, and shouldn't be trusted.

    I learned my lesson. Did you?

    There are some bugs, yes. But can anyone with fair concience claim that it has more bugs than say Skyrim or any or the Fallout games? Even to this day you can’t run Skyrim legendary edition out of the box without making some config edits that would lock the fps to 60. And cyberpunk 2077 runs perfectly fine out of the box. Even better than some other so called AAA games released recentlyThere are some bugs, yes. But can anyone with fair concience claim that it has more bugs than say Skyrim or any or the Fallout games?

Even better than some other so called AAA games released recently that can’t even run at solid framerate on NASA supercomputers.

    And the game is solid. Story is great, has a lot of depth, gameplay overbranching and letting you play however you want. Wanna go stealth? Be my guest. Wanna play like a zerg with a hammer? Do it! The voiceover, character design, sound design, music, animations, everything is perfect.

    It’s basically what a Deus Ex game would be if it had open world and more RPG systems put to work. And if you’re not into that then do all of us a favor and don’t play the game. We don’t need more people expecting out of the game what it never sold as.

    It's one of my favorite games so far. I love the story and graphics. There are few problems yet, but I can ignore them. I'm really enjoying the game so far.

    If you don't want to play on a PS4 or Xbox One, than you can ignore 90% of the negative critics. If you are afraid of the bugs, just wait few weeks or months and enjoy the masterpiece.

DO NOT LISTEN TO THEM. While I understand their frustration, this isn’t the console version, go post your reviews under that instead.

    Frankly this is most likely the best game of all time if you have rtx 2xxx series and beter (3xxx) for DLSS. Once this game is properly patched, more new gen consoles and 3xxx GPUs in stock, you will absolutely love this game.

    This game has everything you felt in love in the Witcher 3 - absolutely amazing story, side quests, world, lore, characters, atmosphere, graphics on better

    Excellent stories, a lot of variations, based on player choices (and it's a core of good RPG). Game perfectly conveys the atmosphere of Cyberpunk, and have amazing visual part. Gameplay Yes, now there are some bugs, and perfomance on many system are not so good, but bugs will be fixed, and quality of graphic technologies will be called "looking to the future".

    No bugs can make a good game a bad one.

    Even with a bunch of minor technical problems that will be solved in the next six months, this game is head and shoulders above all the serial garbage that has been released for 5 years.

Я за 6 часов пролога посочувствовал Джеки, я пустил слезу когда узнал что он умер. А толькоп после этого начинается сама игра, много разных сайтквестов. Очень интересный сюжет. Мат эту игру украшает. Это взрослая сука игра. Спасибо полякам за нее. Expand

    This game is a true masterpiece. If you can get past the bugs and have a system that can run it it is truly one of the greatest games ever released.
    The Gunplay feels tight and responsive, the melee is dishonored level with perks, the stealth is deus ex level with the added ability to actually hide your bodies.

    The immersion and story are truly top notch.

    Amazing playing on PC about 12 hours in beautiful realistic graphics interesting story and great combat i`ve not had any bug issues yet except a single hard crash during a cut scene.
    CD Project have done it again. Raytracing really makes it look real at times.

    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.
