    The game on base consoles runs like a slide show.
    The PS4 pro version has only 3 cars driving through night city, frequent observation of the same character models walking next to each other I last saw that in GTA SA ironically that game at least had better performance, crowd density is extremely low.
    Other bugs that breaks the feeling of the game. Graphical fedelity is hilarious, a PS3

    Graphical fedelity is hilarious, a PS3 game!

    Really disappointing was expecting so much more after let's say a minimum of 5 years of development.

    These results give me the impression that the studio had second thought to abandone the game tbh.

    I've never encountered so many bugs in a launch tittle in my life like this one. How did someone looked at this and said that it was anywhere to "good enough to release". What bothered me the most is how blurry the PS5 version (before the next gen patch) looks, it's a blurry mess, it looks like 1080p on a 4k display with zero upscaling.

What bothered me the most is how blurry the PS5 version (before the next gen patch) looks, it's a blurry mess, it looks like 1080p on a 4k display with zero upscaling. The PC version is the only one that looks at least sharp but the geometry and the animation of the game are so basic, that it really looks like an PS3 game in some points. The NPCs are so repetitive and they all say the same thing, there is almost zero interaction with them (except the ones that the game clearly makes it obvious that you can interact) and they just say generic stuff. Seriously I've talked to 3 NPCs and they said the exact same sentence in a row with the same voice, horrible.
    The city is very well done, but you can't interact with anything, it's just there to look good.
    The only thing that saves this game are the game's lighting, which is really good, making everything colorful and vibrant (but it's like a make up to hide how simplistic the graphics are in reality) and the story and characters of the main story which really create a connection with you and makes you very interested in the story. This is the only reason that I'm not giving it a lower score, the game is extremelly unfinished.

    Unplayable on PS4. Missing textures, low frame rates and resolutions. No life or immersion in Night City - that’s when it’s not crashing. So incredibly disappointed

    I want my money back. this game is overhyped and overrated. this is exactly what happens when you overrate games so much. it's been in development for almost 10 years countless delays and it is still full of bugs and bad optimization on release day. this is why I don't pre order

It actually frustrates me how many people only talk about the glitches in the graphics but there is so many other things that are wrong. I truly believe the team worked really hard on the story and the city itself, However the character customization in the immersion of the game is lacking big time. The fact that I can go into the city and there’s 10 pedestrians and five cars in the street is just unacceptable for the world. There’s only a handful of characters you can actually have a relationship with and none of them mean anything to you. Enemies take bullets like sponges no matter what difficulty you’re on. And the list goes on. I’m not gonna give up on this game I still want to play it a little bit every day but I really hope they acknowledge this **** up and continue to work on this game. This should be evident that crunch time does not work. This game is not polished and it should’ve been left in the oven to cook for longer. Again I’m not gonna give up on this game and I truly hope that they’re more transparent with the people that I’ve purchased this game. And please for anyone saying that Consol players shouldn’t have expected anything less you have no idea what you’re talking about. This game has been advertised on the console since it was announced, no console player expects their game to look like the pc version but the way the game looks at this point is completely unacceptable. I’m totally fine with them releasing patches constantly but they have to do it right they can’t half ass this. Not only do they have to address the buggy mess of the game is but they have to address the way cops are in the game and why you can’t look at your character while you buy/try on clothes and why we can’t customize vehicles or weapons these are things that should’ve been on the checklist and why it wasn’t is beyond me. I am optimistic of the future of this game but in the past couple days all I’ve felt is dread about how disappointing this game is. This really feels like a no man’s sky situation and I almost hope that it is so that the game can become better within time I’m fine with that. Such a beautiful game with such potential I am very hopeful of the future. Expand

    I have never seen anything released that performed so bad. If a game says its for ps4 it should at least play well. It doesnt run well at all. I feel a little ripped off. All ill say is if it runs well on your next gen good for you. Im happy. But for xbox and ps4 steer clear. Im still in shock how bad it is. Such a shame. I hope a class action is made.

    Unfortunately it is a disaster!!! One of the most expected games with a horrible graphic definition, bugs and bad running performance (at least on PS4). Gta V launched years ago is much much better than it. Sorry, but after played God of War or Last of Us 2 (both a masterpieces in each detail) is impossible play something like it.

    Not interested in the lame excuses for a major lack of polish in the first few hours of the game. Lots of crashes on PS4. Frame rate blows. They knew exactly what they were releasing.

    Loading strategy headed into Act 2 ended up with me watching the black loading screen longer than the interlude scenes. Lazy coding, honestly. They could have built those scenes in a single “level” since

    Loading strategy headed into Act 2 ended up with me watching the black loading screen longer than the interlude scenes. Lazy coding, honestly. They could have built those scenes in a single “level” since you’re still “on rails” - but no - every damn scene, even 10 seconds long, had a 1-3 minute loading screen. Why the hell is there not at least a tips and tricks slide for the loading screens? Since the tutorials explaining the game mechanics are awful and incomplete, it would be nice to get some more help.

    Major letdown. Hard to play. Vehicles drive like a 1994 arcade driving simulator. Gun upgrades, Mission management, Perk, Attribute, Hacking, Crafting, etc. are all badly explained and easy to get wrong. Some with no chance to fix, others extremely costly. The studio has already covered all of their costs despite putting out a piece of half-arsed crap. Dissatisfied. Hope they get class-actioned.

    Well my respect and future buying pattern of anything this studio will deliver has gone to shreds. This game is far from over and just makes me wonder what they did in the 7 years of development?

    The story is riveting and great but everything surrounding it is trite to say the least. I really wanted to hack my way through night city but that is so difficult at least in the beginning.

Playing on a ps4 pro and the bugs are innumerable and the crashes abundant. Better wait for the next Gen upgrade and then play the game. My biggest worry is that bugs can be fixed but what about the gameplay itself? Well they fix it after another 7 years? I love witcher 3 very much and it feels like they betrayed their fans and people who believe in them. Save your money at least for now and get it when you have a next gen machine. Just my 2 cents.

    9 years in development to get a game that looks like a PS3 release. I’ve been playing this on a PS5 and while performance might be a bit better than the PS4 or Pro, the game looks like a joke. The city is empty, the characters lack detail and the game keeps crashing or having random glitches every few minutes. A disappointing mess 9 years in the making.

    Feels like I’m playing a blurry and buggy version of GTA 4 on PS3. This is just horrible optimization and a public apology is in place if you want to save some of your reputation.

    The driving actually feels like the game Driver 3 on PS2. Doesn’t feel right at all. This makes me appreciate Rockstar even more.

    - "It doesn't matter if you are dead, as long as you are doing it in style": There is absolutely no emphasis on fashion and style at all, the lack of a transmog system results in your character looking like a freaking clown most of the time.

    - "Each NPC has their own handcrafted routine": I'm even hesitant to call the NPC behavior AI. There is no reaction to anything you do, everything feels static and unrealistic.

    - "The game runs surprisingly well on last gen consoles": I don't know what you need to smoke in order to perceive the state of the game on PS4/XboxOne as "surprisingly well running".

    - "We've crafted every vehicle with immense detail": I don't give a crap about the number of polygons of my car interior, when the driving in this game is absolutely horrendous.

    - "Braindance is a pretty big part of the Cyberpunk universe": Heralded as this big new shiny thing, Braindance is absolutely nowhere to be seen outside of scripted mission in this game.

    Do not let CDPR get away with blatantly lying to their players. I bought my digital copy from PSN, I want a refund. The hype is completely gone, I don't even want to keep playing this PS2 game.

    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.
