Cyberpunk 2077

What strikes me the most while exploring Night City are the large numbers of ugly NPC's walking around.
I don't mean graphically, I mean aesthetically most of them are butt ugly.

It is actually breaking my immersion quite a bit.
This is supposed to be the future where technologically anything is possible and you can have any body modification you can think of, but then 90% of the people get modded arms and legs, but do noting about their butt ugly faces and stretch marks.

Technology can only do so much

From what I’ve seen just listening to NPCs and such, some of the body mods are due to people losing limbs etc

I don't buy that.
Technologically we beautify people in present time.
It's not even that expensive anymore.

You saying in 2077 in a city as advanced as Night City with flying cars and stuff they cant to anything about stretch marks and flabby chins?

You can go to a underground store and get cybernetic eyes for fark sake.
 
Any mini review here?
Those with the game, does it meet expectations?

Yea but people are people. Much like in present t time, many people could look a lot better but don’t. Instead they play pc games or watch Netflix.

Night City strikes me as a very egotistical place.
The NPC's obviously spend a lot of money on fashion and to look fashionable.

It would be more natural if the people who live there spent money on their faces as well.
Especially when most of them wear the most skimpiest outfits imaginable.

Honestly think it is an oversight on the developers part.

Mini review:

The game just launched and with that comes bug, less-than-ideal performance and things that will need to be tweaked.

Graphically this is the best looking game I’ve ever played. It’s just gorgeous.

In terms of gameplay some things take getting used to and I suspect some mechanics may get tweaked in future, but everything works and has a reason. More importantly, your play style determines what mechanics are going to be useful to you. There’s a lot of stealth-based skills and such you can get. I am no so much into stealth so I haven’t upgraded those much and thus they aren’t that useful to me when I could use them. But they still work and are useful.

Gunplay is pretty good. Different weapons have different types of damage they can deal and this affects how well they work against different opponents. Enemies are spongy, there’s very few one-shot kills, even with headshots. But that makes it fun, not annoying.

The world is quite large with a lot going on and, again, you play how you want. Proper free-roaming playability.

Voice acting and animations have been good so far for me.

I’m only 8 hours in so I’m sure there’s a lot I haven’t experienced yet.

For me, in my personal experience...

10/10.

Okay
 
Sounds good enough to get.
Especially the graphics bit.
The early gameplay videos looked really crap graphically.

I would say so.

One caveat being, it is buggy for some people. I haven't encountered much but your mileage may vary. Also, have a decent system, playing this on a 1060 3GB is not going to be a great experience.

I've got a GTX670.

I see myself tweaking a bit to be able to play it. I'm not in a rush though. I think I'll wait a bit before getting it.

Good review though. Thanks for it.
How large is the installation size?

I downloaded through GOG and it was 59.7GB with no updates after installation.
 
Has anyone downloaded any patches after the initial download of the game? And how big were they? I don't want to download 60GB and then have to download another 45GB patch a day later.
