    Horrible performance, glitches, bugs, poor texture quality/pop in ect. list could go on. Would ask for a refund if not purchased on the PlayStation Store. Wait for next gen patch or play on pc

    While the premise is fantastic, the execution is atrocious. To expect people to pay full price for a game which is virtually unplayable on day one is laughable. Even worse is the way the edgy twitter account has bred these incels to defend a game they inexplicably preorder Ed years ago, when they know full well cdpr has turned into. To everything it pretended not to be. A greedy corporate mess.

    Крайне плохое отношение к игрокам, ждавшим проект на данной консоли. Зачем Вы заявили выпуск на нее, при этом сделав настолько плохую оптимизацию? 720p, 20 fps, графика уровня Far Cry 3. Проще было не выпускать вовсе. Взялись - доделывайте до конца. Стыдно продавать эту поделку игрокам,, заплавтившим деньги.


    Множество проектов нагруженных не хуже киберпанка с технической части и с точки зрения графики работают идеально на этой консоли (RDR 2, TLOU 2, Witcher 3).

    This is a good game. But it's not optimized at all on legacy consoles. Either the route had to be optimized, or not released at all on the previous generation consoles.

    Looks bad, plays worse, buggy AF. Its unbelievable that CDPR realease a game in this state. Looks worse than GTA on PS3. If CDPR don't have the technical capability of optimizing this game for consoles they should've drop them, instead of selling this.
    This game is only playable on a $2000 or more PC., and eve then is not worth it, nothing more than a futuristic buggy GTA.

    The state that this game released in is absolutely disgusting and needs to be called out. Its literally unplayable. Crashes are frequent, bugs are everywhere and overall fps is miserable. I don't care if they are going to fix this in 3 months or so I pre ordered a trash in its current state.

You might wonder why am I giving this game a score of 1 having played barely an hour, easy, I CAN'T PLAY ANYMORE! The freaking game glitch during a tutorial mission and I can't move forward.

Сюжет, стилистика, персонажи, всё на высшем уровне, но... играть не возможно. Мне физически больно играть, глаза слезятся и голова в прямом смысле начинает болеть от постоянно дёргающейся, мыльной картинки. Я поверил разработчикам "Cd Project Red", когда они сказали, что версия для PlayStation 4, цитата: "На удивление хорошо". Я верил им, когда покупал эту игру. Больше я им не верю. Больше никогда не буду покупать их игры по предзаказам. В итоге ставлю версии для PlayStation 4 два бала. Первый балл за сюжет, второй балл за Джеки.

    Consumers are not game testers. This is unfathomable this was put on PSN and put on a disc. They showcased at E3 at a console stage and made a game tailored to high end PCs. Even when it did work and didn't blue screen it was hard to focus on the content because of technical issues.

    Hi CDPR, I'd like to give my humble opinion on your game: Cyberpunk 2077. To begin with I will say that the game is clearly not bad, but not without problems which I will now describe, my assessment for this game will be at the end.
    1. technical state of the game. I think that this is a problem that has not touched only one who has a very powerful computer. I play on PS4 (Fat version), I expected that the graphics will be worse so here you have clearly surprised me (in a good way), but would not have written this item if I do not have problems. To begin with I will say that I am well aware that not all 8 years were spent on directly creating the game itself, I understand that most of the time you wrote (and maybe even rewrote, maybe even more than once) the scenario of the game itself, the plot of the additional missions, as well as the consequences of player choices. So here I would forgive you, but... I think the PS5 and Xbox series X don't have these problems so i feel i got cheated, i would be less upset if the game only came out on 9th gen consoles than if i got a game that doesn't work so well for me. I hope you fix things with patches, but just in your next project you better not "cling" to a platform here that struggles to run your game. Also in the game there are bugs and crashes.
    Conventional "conclusion": I would be less upset if this game came out only on 9 generation consoles, and so I have a feeling that I got screwed for money, but I still expect that with the patches will be better (straining me not so much graphics as slumping FPS).
    2. Controls on consoles (particularly the camera). Without aiming it's pretty good (although I had to "dig" a little in the advanced settings), but when you go into the scope it gets worse. Usually in shooters on consoles when you shoot through the scope camera slows down (ie, sensitivity is lowered), in "Cyberpunk 2077" it is the opposite accelerates, I saw you set up which seems to be responsible just for the sensitivity of the camera in sight mode, but it either does not work, or does it very bad, to check I specifically dragged the slider to the left and most to the right and my feelings there is no difference. Because of this, I personally am not too comfortable to play. It also frustrates me that you have to adjust vertical and horizontal sensitivity separately, this can be found in a small number of games, but when it does happen you realize that you now have to spend time searching for the perfect balance as if both sliders will have the same sensitivity then one of them will still move the camera faster in its direction. The blind spot setting is another minus. In particular, you can adjust zones on 2 sticks together. I personally would like to have a bigger blind spot on the left stick and a smaller one on the right stick. Perhaps I'm just picky about the details, but it is a detail of kotorom uncomfortable to play.
    Conventional "conclusion: We need to reduce the sensitivity when shooting through the sight, as well as an opportunity to be configured separately dead zones on each stick, but setting the sensitivity should be common without dividing into vertical and horizontal.
    In general, after all of the above, you might think that the game I did not like, but it's not so I'm not past the story, but at that point where I am now he is pretty interesting, for him I basically do not worry because you myself CD Projekt RED, I trust in this regard. Also I liked the variability, it's not only in the dialogue (which you also brought to a new level, thanks to the fact that the world now does not stand on "pause" when they start), but also in the gameplay as options for passing the mission is often very much, and most importantly that the result is also changing. In general, your game personally I rate it at 8 out of 10, yet I think that those problems that are there will correct with patches.

While studios like Rockstar, Naughty Dog, and Sucker Punch have been able to deliver masterpieces at launch, CD Projekt Red has leveraged impecable marketing to try and sell a half-finished, buggy game. Visually, the game looks great and I find myself stopping to look around and use photo mode. During certain sequences, such as walking around or speaking with main quest characters, the game is engaging and fun to play - these are a clear "9 out of 10". Unfortunately, the extent of the drawbacks are unlike any I've seen from a major studio at launch. At its core, shooting and driving are extremely rigid - the mechanics harken back to the age of early driving and shooting - imagine GTA 3 driving combined with GoldenEye 007 shooting mechanics (I'll be honest, the guns do look pretty). This area of the game is a mediocre "5 out of 10" - mainly due to some creativity with advanced weapons. Lastly, the bugs. Even on PS5, I have had SIX fatal crashes in about FOUR hours of gameplay. That level of issues I have not seen yet in modern gaming (my AC Valhalla playthrough crashed once in 75 hours of gameplay). These issues that make the game unplayable (by literally kicking you out of the game), are a clear 0 out of 10. That's why I landed at a 4 out of 10. A few quick comments. The QA team for this game has clearly underperformed - it's blindingly clear in my playthrough so far. Any half decent QA who has experienced fatal crashes would have reported them. That being said, it's also unfortunate that the product and business teams pushed deadlines and let all this slide. Keep in mind, we're seeing this for the first time - but these teams have had months of playing a buggy, crashing game while claiming it "has gone gold." I'm writing this after the 6th crash, mid-dialogue, and I've given up on restarting the game again. It's unplayable. Expand

I booted it up yesterday expecting a polished and engaging experience, but what I got was such a mess that I couldn't even make it half an hour into the game. It's so blurry I can barely see five feet in front of me because the resolution, textured, artifacting, and pop-ins are awful. I got like 25 frames per second on average. That's as far as I ended up getting, because I put it down before I could even experience the game; that's how bad it was right now.

    I boot up and go to create a character. Something is wrong. This character looks like it could be an NPC in vanilla WoW. That can't be right. I exit and go to settings. HDR is off. That must be why. Turn that on. Now everything is way too dark and barely any definition. I spend about an hour tinkering with settings trying to figure out why this game does not look like anything I've been sold. Turns out that's because they advertised a completely different product.

    Interestingly, it goes downhill from there. I push the graphic settings frustration aside and move onto the game itself. I choose nomad and I'm dropped into the story. Usually this is the part where a good game will hook you in. There's a heavily pixelated poster on the wall. I've seen higher definition sprays in counterstrike source. Within thirty minutes of whatever that was, I'm in night city and the background story might as well have never happened.

    I play through tutorials and nothing is fun at all. Melee is not fun. Stealth is not fun. Hacking is not fun. You cannot plug in a mouse for this game on PS4, so you have to struggle with analog sticks, and to make matters worse, they have all these "advanced" settings that make aiming totally unnatural and borderline impossible. I struggle with those settings for close to an hour until I am able to configure it to something playable.

    Crouching, swapping weapons, sliding, and performing any action is completely unsatisfying and incredibly clunky. Grabbing a guard from behind feels like it is missing a second or two of animation, because you instantly have them in a headlock as soon as you hit a button. Driving cars in this game is on par with final fantasy XV. It's bad.

    There is way too much going on in the HUD, and the UI/menus are absolute crap. There is so much crap to loot that you spend a good chunk of time walking around clumsily aiming your analog sticks at tiny, poorly defined items in low resolution only to find out that it's just an ashtray or some other piece of junk you don't need.

    Items of people's clothing go through their model when they turn their bodies--not random NPCs, major characters. You try to talk to people on the street and most do not move their mouths. The idea that this took nearly a decade to develop is unfathomable.

    I generally play and beat every game I buy so that I get the full experience and see what all the fuss is about. But I really don't feel like playing this one at all. I knew from the beginning that this was going to primarily be a next gen title, but I had faith that the PS4 pro experience would be fine in view of the fact that so many great developers make such incredibly well-designed games that look incredible on PS4 pro (GOT, tlou2, rdr2, god of war). This game looks worse than GTA IV. There is no excuse. Playing it is not fun. It is a huge let down, and I would take a refund if I could.

    I remember people complained that tlou2 was marketed deceitfully because of some pictures of Joel that were circulated. This is a whole 'nother level of deceit. CDPR should be embarrassed by what it released and ashamed of how it released it. No commentary on how the game runs on PS4. Only pre-release reviews by people playing on expensive gaming computers. No independent gameplay footage until after release. They engineered this whole release to grab as much cash as they could from last gen players by tricking them with next gen graphics. Nice way to cap off 2020. First game in my library that I won't play. I flat-out don't feel like it.

Cut scenes play without props like guns or cars, so you end up shooting at people with an empty hand, which looks really bad. If you drive around, drive slowly because the area loads much slower than the cars. There are points when I'm racing around and things just pop up and I hit them. I'm writing this as of version 1.04 but even with this recent patch the pop in and bugs are still present. NPCs look like PS2 era models sometimes, and the holograms are static and rigid, which is terribly ugly. Parts of my HUD display the wrong buttons, and have stayed that way since a certain mission. When you make calls, NPCs that aren't even related to the call overlap with the person you're talking to, and makes them nearly impossible to see. Romance options are extremely limited, and despite **** and sex very present in the setting, theres basically nothing you can interact with. I know its not a porn game, but I was definitely expecting more from at least who I'd be able to romance. It's has its moments and the writing is gambling, but the performance and bugs ruin all of that. I'm playing on a PS4 pro, so I can only imagine how bad it is for the base console players. It feels like the advertisement was SEVERELY manipulated for this game, which breaks my heart. If they took the time to add more features later with the DLC they've planned, it might make it feel less like a let down, but with that and the MASSIVE number of crashes and performance issues, I'm left giving this a score I had nightmares about.

People saying that “what did you expect from old consoles” seem to forget that this is a last gen game and if it isn’t, then quite simply....why is it even released at all? The simply answer is of course MONEY. They were well aware of how bad this ran on consoles and not only did they decide to sell it regardless they kept their fans in the dark about it. Absolutely no respect for their fan base whatsoever. One of the shadiest releases of a product I think I’ve ever seen in my life. Admittedly we should have seen the signs with them not giving out console code for review but it’s about time the consumer stops taking the blame for the manipulation of a big corporation. Expand

    The world is vacuous and dead inside with no real soul. And you will find the same people in the same places. Not really living. Just existing. And that's before we get to quality of life and cut features.

    Be careful as playstation NA will not refund you even if it's unplayable as they don't give a crap as long as you can download it. Creating the perfect dystopian nightmare the genre warns of.

The technical issues are constant, numerous and ruin any immersion the game almost provides. The graphics are extremely lack-luster.

    Night City, despite being well designed on a large scale, feels completely void of any genuine interactivity - it is too big and too dense for there to be so little to do in it, besides driving to new jobs and occasionally stopping to fight random gang encounters.

    For what was marketed as a deep and complex RPG, it fails on multiple levels. Character customisation is limited and I have seen better from games that barely even mention it in their marketing material. The gear, to be fair, has made me laugh. If you focus on stats and don't take your character too seriously, you can end up looking absolutely ridiculous and it's quite fun.

    The gunplay and combat as a whole is almost average. Just completely forgettable and full of jank - yet somehow still the most enjoyable part of the game - perhaps only because of the badass music that kicks in.

    Ultimately, technical and graphical issues aside, it feels like a generic action-adventure looter-shooter game from a small studio from 2015, and nowhere near delivers on the hype or on the game that was promised and shown in the multiple Night City Wires and other advertising material.

    There's character buried somewhere in this game, and a potential to be a fantastic experience, however this potential will not be achieved through patches alone. This will be come only from a complete overhaul - a 'No Man's Sky' - which it seems unlikely we will ever receive. Worst gaming disappointment of all time.

    Shame on CDPR, shame on them for their lies, shame on them for their false advertising, and shame on them for allowing 8 million people to preorder a game that is months and months from being finished.

While shallow in other aspects like lack of customization, lack of AI driving, and lack of different personalities you can act as in a RPG(for example in fallout 3 and NV you could act very chivalrous, as an indifferent merc, a dick, or a lunatic. In 2077 you can only act as a smart ass edgy merc) that definitely disappoint, it's still a wonderful immersive open world game. However the performance of this game is outright unacceptable, and a disgrace since CDR intentionally kept this hidden. I won't go into the PS4 base performance as there are plenty of user reviews here covering that, but I've been playing the game on PS5 via backwards compatibility. While FPS are smooth and pop ins aren't too bad (relatively), everything looks blurry and underdeveloped, annoying glitches that can disrupt gameplay, a severe lack of NPCs and cars when driving, NPCs and cars will fade in and out of existence like ghosts, and frequent crashes every 2 hours of playing. One time a crash even forced my PS5 to shutdown. Overall there IS a good game in there made by creative and passionate developers, but seemingly it was unfortunately hijacked by greedy executives who wanted to make a quick profit off the hype from the marketing and released an unfinished and horribly optimized game that can only reach close to its potential on a high end PC and deceived many console users spending 60 bucks on this. Hopefully the next gen versions are what were promised to us in the first place. Expand

    I launched Cyberpunk 2077 on my PS4 Slim several weeks after the release and most of the bugs were fixed, so I was able to play the game from start to finish. However, the quality of textures was painfully low, I usually had only 20-22 frames per second while driving around the city (with dips below 20), and some objects tended to disappear. The technical state and graphics of the PS4 version are awful, which is a shame, because the game itself has one of the best stories I have ever encountered, its gunplay is really good, and Night City is very impressive.

    Cyberpunk 2077 is a game brimming with potential, and it damn near reaches it on so many occasions, but the pitfalls of its development ultimately drag it down. There's still a lot to like here for RPG fans and lovers of the genre, but it's far from the generation-defining masterwork that the world was waiting for.
