The problem for me is, there’s literally zero social stuff you can do in NC. But they totally tricked you into thinking you can dance, drink, eat, etc with your pal. All of those are just one time mission (or a small cutscene). And what’s the point of having multiple “apartment”, you can’t even use the bed other than your original apartment

Yeah, but to be fair NO-ONE else has accomplished what DA:O did either. One of a kind. But, that's not to discount the criticism of this game. I didn't play Corpo, but I hear you basically completely change and become a street kid regardless of background, in just about all but mostly pointless filler dialogue options. Though I didn't expect DA:O, I did expect more.

Integrity right here. Gets the cold shoulder from CDPR because they feared his integrity. Then CDPR intentionally offers the review code late to save face, knowing there wouldn’t be time to review it properly. That was rejected by ACG. That’s integrity.

It's obvious this game was released way too early but this project also screams of mismanagement of time and resources during the development cycle.

[@Razgriz_01]

Wait until you hear the conference call between management and their investors. Devs got fucked over by management and said management lied to investors.

[@1awster]

@@Razgriz_01 i smell a lawsuit in the air, or four.

[@Chitown18]

@@Razgriz_01 management lied about what exactly ? Because it isn’t like this Game has star citizen level depth ....theirs triple AAA STUDIOS on the same level of cdprojectred who put out more complete products in less of time ..I’m not throwing blame at one person particular but I don’t think the buffons of devs are innocent ..I suspect management gave them space and time to just make a great then the devs started taking forever to make basic stuff in game they started rushing them leading to crunch and now the devs are bitching cause they basicly had to crunch last 2 years after wasting 5 years of development

[@Razgriz_01]

@@Chitown18 People keep thinking development for CP77 was 7 exact years when, in reality, it was actually just 3 or 4 years. For a game this ambitious, that is not enough time. You also forget that they were still busy focusing on Witcher 3 when CP77 was announced. Any actual development for CP77 started around 2017. The problem, however, was how the higher-ups handled the teams in CDPR. The original team for CP77 was axed around 2017. It was also around that time that senior developers left CDPR. They had to bring in industry veterans to help out, even got some from Rockstar to join in. The problem was they had new management that had no experience in video game development, you can imagine how this caused problems. It doesn't help that the CEO of CDPR created a hostile work environment by pitting teams against each other over development. They also lied to investors about the state of the game, hence why there is now a lawsuit from one of their investors. If you remember, around 2018 or 2019, they said Cyberpunk was basically done, another lie made up by their higher-ups that even the devs didn't know. The delays for game wasn't even known to the developers until it was posted on Twitter. So yeah, if there's anyone to blame, its the management and higher-ups in CDPR.

[@DrDoctorDr]

@@Chitown18 you’re exactly right. The game content was finished in 2019. It was not developed well so there were too many defects for them to fix in even an entire year. Management aren’t responsible for incompetent devs

[@johnhammel2343]

I appreciate the candid honesty of the review. I have seen too many apologists wanting to cut CDPR some slack for the game releasing with problems, giving it a high score in the hopes that the bugs will get fixed. This is much like reviewers cutting COD: Cold War slack because it had only 2 years development time. Screw that! These companies made the conscious decision to release the games when they did and we need to hold them accountable when the games are trash.

[@blackjackhearts9593]

I played 80 hours of cyberpunk. Its amazing story and missions. Stop hating

[@TheS00th]

Im so sick of people defending this practice of releasing a broken game then fixing it over the course of time. If I wanted to fucking play a live service game I’d play a mmo or Gacha game, not a triple A title that costs fucking 60 bucks. Like how do u defend this garbage? Honestly even if you’re willing to overlook the bugs, the game has SO many issues with the balancing of weapons to lifepaths being unremarkable. While the story was good, there was definitely a lot of content that was cut from it with the pacing being all over the place after the first act and being incoherent at times. The bugs only distract players from the real issues of the game. What a heap of garbage this game is

[@F13FAR0]

@@blackjackhearts9593 he's not hating he's just saying the facts

[@NPrinceling]

I think the reasons you're seeing some high reviews is that some people are having a great experience. I personally did. I had basically no issues with bugs, and the game perfectly hit what I was looking for (Deus Ex, but in a truly open world). So I give it five out of five stars, but the game is literally unplayable for other people, so 1 out of 5 stars for them. My general impression quietly and patiently listen, the general consensus seems to be: there's a great game here, but bugs prevent it from being accessible to a lot of people, and even with those who can play the game, there's room to disagree about the experience.

[@ZeonEons]

It's not an rpg to me, it's a shooter with rpg elements/a skilltree, which would be fine - but the marketing made me think otherwise.

No immersion whatsoever, and no impact of our choices. These were my biggest problems with the game. It felt dead. Everything other than the main story felt robotic and lifeless, there only to tick boxes. Zombie NPCs, half assed romances, permanently closed stores, food vendors you couldn't talk to, let alone order, hell you couldn't sit on a chair if it wasn't in the script. When I realized that I could loot people's stuff right in front of them, with no repercussions at all, I knew that this was a straight up FPS game trying to pass as an RPG. Huge disappointment.

[@allureoflore5675]

are they really? they never answer that in the story. I always thought he was messing at times, and when you get invited to be a part of the Aldecaldos after Panam's missions, it was almost too coincidental that the glitches started happening. But in the end Johnny didn't want to take your body. I feel like the writing is hit or miss at times when they try to make you think that he glitching you when something good happens and then a few story beats later, he seems to be helping you especially when his intentions are revealed at the end. They even let you decide what to do as Johnny if you did the mission as him in the end. You could even decide to be completely insensitive to taking V's body. This allowance of choice made the overall character of Johnny not always have smooth personality transitions. All of it is done to keep you confused and unsure about Johnny's true intentions, but it feels a little dishonest at times with how they wrote it to get that feeling out of you.

I was very lucky and mostly just experienced minor sound bugs in my playthrough (had a car randomly explode for no reason next to me and had to reset 1 time because I couldn't progress) but no missing textures, no egregious visual bugs etc. I'd still say that while the game has a lot of good ideas there is a lack of polish, I'd constantly see interesting features or a promise of something that could be good but just falls short, like the in the combat there are some interesting weapons and abilities but the AI isn't amazing to play against. There are a lot of cool cars but pretty much all of them feel terrible to drive and a lot of the cars are pointless (why buy a big tanky car when there is no vehicle combat outside of a few scripted missions in which you don't get to use your personal car anyway?) and many examples of good ideas that just needed some polish. I love the world and the setting, I like some of the character and story moments and ultimately I enjoyed my time with it but it's kind of hard for me to justify a recommendation to someone to buy this at full price in its current form.

[@neoshenlong]

The game is polish, so i'm pretty sure you can change the language to Polish whenever you want. . . . . . . . : Nah dumb joke aside I agree, I think there's a ton of things with ton of potential but they are clearly lacking more development... which is why I'm waiting for everything to be updated and finished before playing through the whole game. They did say there were 2 big *content* updates coming next year. So I hope they expand at least some of those systems.

[@kierendefence]

I was lucky too during my time with the game to only experience some minor bugs and no crashing but I realise that many other people have had a horrible experience and I’m sorry that happened to them. My problem was the framerate which was fixed after I went into the memory pool config file and tweaked that to suit my cpu and gpu, went from 40 FPS or less at all times to 80-90 with a few sub 60 dips from time to time. I don’t know how they overlooked such a simple thing when putting the config files together

[@SekiberiusWelkesh]

I think the issue is that not only was it the studios first venture into a first person game, they decided their first venture should be a massive game that's made with what's arguably not enough devs for a game of this size and scope. Open world games require an almost inhuman level of manpower and time to make, just think, RDR2 was made with 1100 devs, CP2077 was reportedly made with just around 500. Cyberpunk IMO is a perfect example of reaching beyond your means, the fact they were even able to make a game this big and complex with what they had is a testament to the devs passion, skill and how overworked they were.

All of a sudden not having a routine is a major crime for an open world game. In many ways Rockstar really raises the bar for how open world games are done, that said people praise them as if they didn't release pretty much the same game over 10 times in the last 4 generations.

There are lots of little oversights - like the fact I have to stare at a line on a minimap instead of focusing on the road when I’m driving anywhere

[@jonathanchia9167]

seems like waiting for a patch or a new mod to fix this, is becoming an excuse for shitty technical aspects in newly released games.

@@jonahmarlow3991 This irritates me so much, they NEEDED in-vision GPS. And its friggn Cyberpunk, there are plenty of open world games that have this, and this is the one world that could easily have it lore wise!

[@Elcapitaan5]

People talk about bugs. But there is a deeper problem when the devs saw fit to give the main character a motorbike but no one else. It is just not believable. Immersion is broken.

[@CouchCit]

Well considering that Jackie ran right into me on his motorbike and the rest of the shitty AI quirks, its probably best they didn't have bikes

Yeah I was looking forward to some Road Rash in Night City.

Cyberpunk 2077 and The Last Of Us were both my most anticipated games to play this year....I've never been more disappointed

[@WarningBFG-isHiring]

I'm glad that DOOM Eternal and Nioh 2 were the games that I was hyped with the most. Didn't care too much about TLOU2 and Cyberpunk 2077.

Also what ever happened to the "destructible environments" outside if that prologue mission they're no where to be found

I'm convinced that they scrapped the whole thing except for those missions

That prologue was the worst thing in the game. Total and utter bullshit.

[@rickyfreddy6963]

Thanks for the review. I would suggest making segments in your video you can skip to that you can see in the time bar. That would be great. 🙂

[@epitaphuser6]

I agree so hard on the role playing. Other than the overall style of the game the thought of being able to actually role play in this world was what triggered my interest, but all it is is the bare minimum of a wimpy AAA "RPG". Aside from that I did put in a lot of hours

[@punani_slayer4209]

I don't even think they call it an rpg in their twitter bio lol. They call it an "action adventure open world game" which is stupid since this was advertised as an RPG

[@EmoZix]

@@punani_slayer4209 Yeah that's true. Probably some drastic change in development of the game where they just go NOPE, and make it not an RPG. And just compromise to what is the final product.

[@epitaphuser6]

@@punani_slayer4209damn, out of everything I've seen and heard, this makes me feel the most betrayed hahaha

[@BoroMirraCz]

@@epitaphuser6 That's the deception of CDPR. When the game was supposed to be a "groundbreaking RPG" then they were boating about it in various flashy trailers. But when they backpedaled, they silently changed the game description. Basically they allowed pre-orders on a false promise, because they properly didn't inform the customers that the game genre has changed completely...

[@zicyzacbonanza]

That's what disappoints me the most tbh. I was hoping for something along the lines of Shadowrun or Fallout NV in the ability to role play but everything I've seen makes it look more like you have the quest, you accept the quest, and I guess you can try to be sneaky about it if you want choice.

[@TheBlacknight122]

Thanks for talking about roleplaying quite a bit. I recently bought the TTRPG book to try to insert the world a bit before I play the game. I'll def wait a while, but from various reviews it seems like even on hard difficulty I might end up trying to play it a certain way just to make it feel more intense. You mentioned you have to coddle the enemies. That seems annoying.
