Cyberpunk 2077

PC seems decent but the user score isn't that high for all the hype.

PC: 6.7
PS4: 2.7
Xbox One: 3.4

Those are some pretty bad scores.

Steam has it at 79% and you can only give it a thumbs up or thumbs down if you own the game (on PC through Steam).

Just looking at the steam comments section...... this game is degenerate poop.

It has the same STD level mental problem that Rage 2 suffered from.... the thing is just plain nasty and people are actually complaining that it's not nasty enough..... and almost panicking at the merest suggestion at any kind of toning anything down.

Damn.... now at least I know it's a solid skip.

I think it will be ok to play after they release their first expansion in 6 months to a year from now. By then most glitches should be fixed on PC.

I don't think the PS4 and Xbox One versions will ever be decent though. They look like PS3 or Switch games right now. Just look at it. What they promised on PS4 vs what they released. Reminds me of GTA 3.

What a buggy mess...

The ps4 version looks so bad!

Personally loving the game and will be the only game I play for a while, but it is lacking quite a lot.
Night City is very unique and detailed, but I haven't scene anything justifying the 8 years development time and several delays.

Side activity wise the game is severely lacking. Fixer jobs do not come close to Witcher contracts. There is also nothing much to do RP wise and this is advertised as a RPG game.

Red Dead Redemption 2 has more RP than this.
Simple example, when going to a bar for a drink in RD2 you actually get an animation of your character standing at the bar, having the drink.

In Cyberpunk you get a buy menu and buy the drink which goes straight to your inventory. (Yes, I know there are scripted exceptions, but scripted events do not count.) That is very lame

I like to RP in open world games.
To once again make an example with RD2

I like to travel the map. I'd saddle my horse and just ride out in a random direction, exploring the world and greet passers by, sometimes helping a random stranger out of a bind. Just before night fall I'd set up camp. pitch my tent and rest by the fire a bit. I'd unsaddle my horse (yes, you literally can do that) and tie him to a tree. If I had no food I'd have a quick hunt, skin my haul and cook it over the fire for dinner. Then I would sleep till morning and brew a cup of coffee, before packing up, brush and saddle my horse and keep on with my journey.

In towns you can rent a room and have a bath. Go to the bar and 'actually' have a drink or play some poker and black jack. Maybe start a fight. You can fish, customize your horse or hunt bandits. At camp you can sit and relax with your companions or help out around camp. Play games like dominoes.

RD2, for me, is a near perfect RP world.

Cyberpunk, with it's magnificent setting and lore, falls flat. Apart from quests and side jobs, there is absolutely nothing to do. Nothing to RP

This is not what we deserve after waiting for 8 years and CDPR are capable of so much more.
If this is what they produce in the future, The Witcher 3 is CDPR's swan song and they will never top that high.

You the, heh, cyber police?

No, just seeing if you'll stand by your word to buy the game if you enjoy it. Seems like you're not doing that, and continuing to make excuses as to why you should carry on enjoying the game without paying the developers their dues. Now you're what, waiting for bug fixes? But still playing in the meantime? People like you are the reason the rest of us have to deal with DRM with every other publisher out there - the least you could do is just pay for what is a relatively cheap AAA game.

When I play any game my Vega turns the heater on, but in this game, hardly anything, and yes, my Haswell is also barely utilised, but this I have known since day 1.

I have now completed three districts, took me 30 hours, lvl 28 / street cred 50 (max). I haven't touched the main quest and have only completed the interlude.

So... I wouldn't have made this post, but 100% completion is impossible in the game's current state. I have police scanner missions in the badlands which don't activate, even when I collect the trigger item, and I don't think this will be resolved unless it is patched and the game is started over. I am truly unhappy with this. I also have more than 3 side gigs in an uncompleted state though the missions are done and dusted.

Levelling up. I don't even use handguns any more, but handguns are levelling and not the skills I am specialising in... I see others have complained about this, also having stealth stuck at level 5, mine is at least stuck at 8. Maybe there is a point in the game where the data is scratched.

I will still complete as much as possible with my current playthrough, but this isn't a polished game no matter how people are spinning it.

CDPR deserves the criticism at this point, but it doesn't mean that you shouldn't support the game. It can still be remedied, the question is when, and they do have a massive Q&A sample to work with now.

Also... GTA V have a better world, and Ubi has made the best worlds since Watch Dogs 2. Night City may be alive and well, but it is pretty generic and triggering, not to mention that the 'random' events always take place in the same locations and is on repeat. I hope that the next Cyberpunk will have a better world, but the stakes raised by Bethesda in the time to come now will be a high bar, and I hope that Square Enix can now give us a proper Deus Ex (which I love by the way).

I am also going to say it straight, though you can have three paths in CP2077, it is still pretty linear and the game is more action-adventure than RPG.

Saw this earlier. It seems that for some reason certain hardware configs, generally those with older CPU's, have experienced some odd automatic settings to be placed in the config file, essentially hobbling CPU and GPU usage.

If you load up Afterburner (or similar) and monitor GPU and CPU utilization while playing you'll see whether the above "fix" is worth attempting. Personally utilization has been within range on my setup so I haven't bothered.

I have a i7 4770 with a 1660Ti, driving down a road with the city skyline next to me looking all beautiful, without the tweak my FPS went down to 43FPS and with the tweak it only went down to 54FPS.

The mods on the subreddit just deleted the post.

I have had more fun driving my bike in the waste dump than anywhere else.

Definitely made a difference to my reflections, where it was normally looking grainy, also using a 1080ti.

This screenshot looks pretty great. Going to upgrade my GPU but maybe ray tracing isn’t as essential as I thought...

You are mentioning all the RDR2 things I considered a PITA. Especially the time wasted on travel and the looting animations.

Okay, I'm back you guys. It's alright now, not disappointed, not happy, kinda just so-so. Gigs suck, buggy as all hell (constantly was reloading every 30 minutes due to a HUD or Menu bug), but characters are interesting. Felt some tense moments, story I enjoyed, replay value is seemingly there too.

One thing that takes it to a 1 out of 10 for me is the fact that there is a perc to throw knives, but you can only carry one, have to put it into a weapon slot and you can't retrieve it wtf? You throw it and it disappears. That's stupid, I'm sure I wasn't the only one looking forward to running a bladed ninja throwing knife V?

I put in about 60 hours, did absolutely everything I could - street crimes and all. The experience I had - I'd give it a 6 out of 10.

Meh when you visit a tavern in Witcher 3 and buy food or drink it goes straight to your inventory as well. Taverns are pretty much useless. Apart from gwent and fist fights or races there were no other side activities. Imo the world in Witcher 3 is one of the most boring in any open world game.

Speaking of which, is there some sort of minigame like gwent in Cyberpunk?

I agree though, if you're gonna make an open world game, give us something to do when not doing missions. Give us minigames or other side activities like pool and whatnot
