CyberPunk 2077 Review RANT | Lies, Mediocrity, and Endless Disappointment

Well, here's the Cyberpunk 2077 review. Is it the biggest disappointment of all time? No, but it makes the top 10. If you like the game, that's fine. But this is not what we were promised. CD Projekt Red deceived us all, delivering not an RPG but a mediocre action game.

I realize this video is going to ruffle some feathers, judging by the poll I put up. Just know that I don't hate the game or think it's bad, but it is incredibly disappointing.

To be honest dude I never understood the big deal about this game to begin with i mean from my point of view it looks no different then Borderlands just a typical rpg shooter only borderlands did it better

[@calawosseditsplays641]

Yeah the story and characters are good for the most part but like gameplay and mechanics wise are just not it.

[@Gruntvc]

Good video, but Worth A Buy summed it up perfectly. It's an extremely disappointing 6.5/10 that should've been at least a 9.5/10. AAA gaming is awful. Man I miss the Golden Age of gaming.

[@andrewroach54]

It's not about how good some aspects of the game are. It's about how much was promised that they didn't deliver on. The open world is a joke. The ps4 and x box 1 version of this game, that they made all the money off of, is a joke. Not near enough people are covering how bad the AI in this game is. Great video thanks for covering it honestly.

[@toolshedvideo]

That's when the true lack of RPG depth will be made clear, and all the reviewers calling this a masterpiece "RPG" will look even more ridiculous for giving this game 10s across the board. This isn't a deep RPG by any stretch. AC Valhalla has more consequential RPG choices ffs.

@@VandalCabbage There's a small number of side quest chains that are good, but it's very shallow in terms of meaningful choices. Very imbalanced.

[@eteline_music]

I'm slowly, and reluctantly, coming to this conclusion. The AI and crowd density (on ps4 pro) is disappointing. Worst of all, it's biggest problems don't appear to be patchable fixes. It's a non-ironic GTA, but "future as imagined in the 80s"

I've come to the conclusion that Keanu Reeves ruined the game indirectly. CDPR had a story all written and done. Keanu came aboard so they added him to that scene. Than the breathtaking moment happened and Keanu became beloved. So they rewrote the story to have him be the main character essentially. Thats why the prologue seems so out of place. It seemed like a start to a strong story and than they just kill off all the characters at the end of the prologue and the game devolves into a bunch of nonsense that feels very rushed. That's why the rest of the game like performance, AI, no choices, etc..., because instead of spending the last 2 years finishing buttoning the game up. They spent that time rewriting and cramming the new story in. Thats why there are no cutscenes or anything. Thats just my theory A gay theory

[@Sir_Newkirk]

Checks out. I had similar suspicions.

[@hardVatsuki]

Except for the candle thing, Cyberpunk has all those too, on top of the crap that makes it worse. Oh, and on top of that, the Witcher had more complicated sidemissions instead of the Ubisoft-Tier copy and Paste Missions we see here, which sadly are displayed on the map with the same Icons as the good narrative driven Quests and the ...

They did not need to reinvent the wheel they just needed to adapt what already existed using examples of RPGs that also already exist. The massive open world, the linear plot following Silverhand, the aesthetics, all of that should have been second fiddle to adapting the tabletop game and making certain that the player could play how they wanted to in most situations.

My biggest problem with CP2077 is that it has no excuse to be that bad. The amount of confidence CPDR was showing was the biggest knife in the back. They looked like they looked at CP2077 and got hyped to show that good games can be made. They talked so much about trust from the community and how important it is, deapite the fact that they knew well that once the game releases everyone will see that it was a big fat bluff. They probably hoped it will be as good as it should be by the release,but they f'cked up. Big time. Just how? How many times does the cycle need to repeat? It's against common sense. And it wasn't even a "grab and run" situtaion... CDPR to me feels like a mentally ill guy who on the 1 side is honestly your best friend, but on the other is a total dick. And you never know which one is talking to you untill it's too late.

[@modernmobster]

All those glossy trailers full of potential immersion are all lies. It's just a Ubisoft clone masquerading as something as marvelous as Deus ex.

[@NicheGames]

Well, the games from the Deus Ex serie are simply better games... in every aspects (excepted graphics ofc), plus they don't have many glitches and other bugs. But somehow it is disappointing, if Cyberpunk 2077 had lived to the expectations, maybe that would have caused developpers to create more cyberpunk games. With how many copies of this game was sold already, the genre has potential.

[@captainsewerrat]

They probably used the Horse Physics and Handling from Witcher for the cars. lol. I really like the game overall, but even if you like it, it gets hard to ignore the flaws. I had practically no visual glitches/bugs with the exception of a single T-Pose in ~70 hours of playing it. But the driving...I don't need GTA but come on, they could have done better than that, and the sounds of the cars are disappointing too, I know it's the future but if Mad Max with a petrol drought can drive a V8 why don't we have a rumbling V8 in it or a howling V10 or something. They have no distinct sounds to me. (And I agree, going 150 plus feels like me going 50 in my hatchback in RL) I think the only way they can really make it right is give everybody who bought it and hasn't returned it should get all the DLC's for free.

[@KingSavy100]

Man they need to make a whole extra set of dlc on top of what they already had planned, to fill this game up the way it was intended to be. This game looks like it needs 6 major expansions and 3 smaller ones. Then it would be a complete game.

[@ignacio8529]

They do have v8s and v10s. The type 66 and the caliburn have those respectively. Thats what i can tell from sound at least. The caliburns sound is directly taken from a lexus LFA.

[@captainsewerrat]

@@ignacio8529 Hmm, well they have distinct sounds and yes, the Type 66 sounds fairly V8-ish, reminds me of a future Mustang, the Caliburn sounds like a JDM driven at the limiter in a bad way. Not sure, just feel like it lacks in terms of sound design. I know it's not a driving simulator, but I think there is room for improvement there for sure.

[@nenadmilovanovic5271]

Shame is that it needed so little to be good. Better leveling, better loot, better balancing, better economy, better driving and more random events in world. I would overlook the bugs, janky animations and outdated quest design if I could actually enjoy the gameplay and fell rewarded for exploring the city.

[@ethanayye4646]

I've been trying to find a video that covers everything you just said. New sub here! It's absolutely mind bobbling all the promises and hype CDPR marketed to us. It's literally Fallout 4 with better storytelling. How did we get here from Witcher 3?! I'm enjoying the game (for now on PS5) as I did with Fallout 4... until it's complete and the honeymoon phase is over. Shallow game that has no right being called an RPG (inspired by a tabletop RPG LOL) I'm so sad and disappointed with this game and CDPR... After technical patches, this needs massive overhauls. *facepalm*

[@andrewroach54]

I have been searching for it as well. People are focused on the bugs, graphics issues, and the fact the lied about the state of the game on console. Witch are all fair points but not enough people are talking about just how much they over sold and way undelivered on the core of the game. The open world sucks. The AI is soooo bad.

[@ashyslashy3636]

I wouldnt even give it an 8 if it didnt have any bugs. Its missing so much rpg content. The only good thing about it imo is combat. The ai are stupid, police teleport behind you, and dont chase you in vehicles. There is very very limited side content. Only one romance option unless your into both genders. Npc's in SKYRIM acknowledged who you were and even feared you. Npcs in this game say the same old shit. My character doesnt feel important, when its supposed to. Im supposed to be a NC Legend, but there is no immersion.

[@lamenamethefirst]

Witcher 3 at least let you ignore the loot system by introducing witcher gear, which could be upgraded as you progressed. Dropped loot was terrible though. Sometimes cool looking weapons would be dropped by high level monsters but would be LOWER than your current level, making them completely useless. Even ones that were your level or higher would eventually become useless. It's really dumb that a weapon's worth is dictated purely be level and not "type". Oh look here's a cool looking sword with 3 rune slots and an awesome name but it's only level 10 so does absolutely no damage compared to a "rusty Novigrad sword" at level 30. Makes no sense.

[@jgamer2228]

Speaking on the issue of player choice, I liked that in the Outer Worlds, choosing not to kill a plot-integral character blocks an entire questline with the sublight gang. If you don’t kill this character, the gang isn’t hostile but they stop having a working relationship with you. THAT is what I want in my rpgs.

[@Real2077]

CP2077 is a perfect example about a Publisher/studio wanting to take a huge step with practically no experience. They took 8+ years to make this mess, all bugs aside this game had no vision: RPG? FPS? GTA? etc and it ended up being none. This game is basically the 2nd major Game/Project of a studio who wanted to define gaming. They should have collaborated/acquired another studio with actual experience with FPS-Game or openworld/system design e.g Avalanche studios who made Mad Max and Just Cause and this studio is also in Europe (Sweden)

Amazing characters and a good story, this is the only game where I have interacted with a character and genuinely cared about them. They spent roughly 3-4 years on this game which is the same amount of time as the Witcher 3, and it came out in just as good of condition. People just went into this game thinking it would be all these things, that's why you should go into a game with next to nothing, I saw the 2013 trailer and the 2019 trailer and that's all, so when I went into the game thinking it would be pretty good but slightly buggy and low fps I wasn't mad with what I got, because I got an open world filled with real people with real personalities and an amazing story at a bearable 24fps average.

Everything they promised was evident in the prolong, but after the first few missions, you can tell the rest of the game is completely rushed and unfinished. Devs was pressured by investors to push the game out before the end of the year, as they were scared of taking big losses from their stocks. If you pay attention to their stocks, their stocks took a dip in March, and then they announced release in Nov, and you can see their stocks almost triple. It's really sad, this game could have been it, but I'm afraid we won't get what they promised.

Honestly the shitting on FO4 as a comparison seems a bit unmerited. Like, FO4 is definitely not good, but there's WAY more consequence in that (large scale I mean, like the main quest, definitely not in the small scale 4 option dialogue). Like entire factions had to be killed off in that if you didn't actually get in good with them. But 2077... jeez. 2077 is like... FO4's dialogue system, but it's literally the entire game, story choices and all. Idk. Just feels like 2077 doesn't need to exist. It was like the room temperature tap water of games in every respect. Not terrible, but just enough to sustain.
