CyberPunk 2077 is Amazing!

Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2020

Platform For Display: PCEdition: StandardVerified Purchase

This game is simply amazing! Yes it has bugs, many as of patch 1.05 have been squashed. Its Dec 22, 2020 and ive got 50 hours of gameplay in by choice because im having fun just exploring, doing side missions and about 12% through the Main Story.

I have both the PC version (with hardware that is a combined 4-7 years old on Windows 7 64bit) and the PS4 version (playing on PS4 Pro). Both are playing pretty damn good and looking amazing. There is some Crashing here and there, but its becoming less of an occurrence with the latest update.

You have complete freedom of how you want to play (hacks, stealth, guns blazing, non-lethal take downs) as well as how you want your character to develop. This takes a lot of elements of the table to and modernizes it into an RPG-FPS looter shooter. Since Cyberpunk the table to is very niche and not a lot of people are aware of it unless they dabbled in table top games, the next best comparison I would place this with is the Shadowrun Isometric RPG games, not the crap Microsoft one from the 2000's. Obviously not a top down T-CRPG.

IF you are wary of picking this game up, its very playable now and beautiful to immerse yourself in, you may wish to wait until March 2021 after the next 2 major patches they planned to smooth out the stability on all systems.

CP2077 is a 9/10 for me. Dont buy into the negativity of social media, remember the developers worked from home and dont deserve that negativity after the hard work they are still doing to make sure this game is as they intended it to be.

Don't let the bugs prevent you from playing a fun, addicting AAA game

I want to start off this review by saying yes, there are bugs. I'm about 30 hours into the game and found only one side mission quest that was broken from the start. At the end of my review is the fix.

This game looks absolutely amazing. The atmosphere really pulls you in and it is hugely fun to play. The skill tree is very well thought out. The game actually encourages you to go into every skill tree and I'm constantly having to decide what build I want to go for. Very balanced game play, which I feel is a huge achievement. In my opinion, don't wait for the devil to fix bugs, this game is fun as it is right now. Treat yourself or another one you love for Christmas, but don't expect to see them much afterwards because they will be playing this game.

Biggest bug is the initial crashing some people have. Here is how to fix:

I have Nvidia graphics card. Manually make sure you have the latest driver installed. Secondly, make sure you have direct X 12 installed. I was crashing at the start but this fix worked for me.

Cyberpunk Far Cry 5. Update your Video Drivers, this version redeems on the GOG store

Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2020

I'm about 7 hours into the game and having fun so far. The world is engaging and, yes, there are some weird nitpicks that I think will get fixed over time. I didn't play Witcher 3 until it had been out for 2 years, and I think comparing those two experiences might be apples and oranges.

For me, the best thing so far are the characters. I'm enjoying Jackie, T-Bug, Dex and I've found a few random encounters that were interesting. I want to wander the world and find things, but the game seems a little sparse when you do that. However, I realize that I'm still in the opening section of the world, so it's hard to compare right now.

I've no crash issues. The only real problems have been some NPC clipping, texture pop-in, and items to loot aren't always recognized. Nothing that has effected game play. The menus need some optimization. It's hard to compare weapons, and my characters looks like a bit of a clown because I've been using the highest spec'd stuff I find, not doing outfits or anything. This might get better as the game progresses, but it's pretty similar to Witcher 3.

My specs:
Nvidia 1070ti
Ryzen 5
32 GB ram (overkill)

I'm running high on most settings. I turned off Film Grain and Chromatic Abberation since user were saying those caused more glitches.

I'll update as I keep playing. Don't let the bad reviews keep you from playing this game. I'd call it a Cyberpunk Far Cry 5, so far. The mechanics seem very similar to me, but none of the dumb cut scenes (so far).

Arrived on time. Everything went as expected from my experience.

I know there are a lot of negative reviews on here, but I just have to share my experience. When I first purchased this 2 months ago (for PC), I was hoping it'd be a digital download, because that would make the whole process a lot easier. The price was $49.99 which was $10 cheaper than anywhere else so this was a good deal. I soon learned it was a physical copy and that in order to have it arrive on December 10th, there would be a $10 charge. This would sum up the total to $60, the same as anywhere else. I could've cancelled the order then but I didn't.

The more I waited for this game, the more I realized I wanted a physical copy because this game is historic. I dont think there has ever been a game as anticipated as Cyberpunk 2077 before. Having a physical copy with all the goodies inside can make it a collector's item in the future.

The game arrived before 12PM on December 10th, and I was able to download the game through GOG and play it on the same night. My experience with this purchase on Amazon had been a smooth one so I have to share my experience on here. The game certainly isn't perfect, but it's a damn good game in my opinion so far. I'm willing to give it a chance and not bash on it before finishing it.

Bugs

Overrated and rediculously maligned at the same time.

Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2020

To those on PC the complaints over GOG or digital code in the pc case you are obviously not PC builers. Its called reading and research. It was in the q&a on this amazon page and its about the only thing CDPR was up front about. This was a cheaper option that gives you some physical stuff.
The game itself is a buggy mess. It is unfinished and performs like an early access game. I font want to hear the yeah buts... This looks worse than a modded Fallout 4, Kingdomecome, and RDR2. The shadows are blocky, the volumetrics are blocky, the textures are not anything to right home about. Really the character models and vertical complexities are the only striking things. To achieve a constant 60fps I had to drop to 1080p on mostly medium/high settings with a 1080ti oc to 2050mhz. Digital Foundry can pretend this is some crowning achievement. Its not. No feature explains the aweful performance. Circles are made up of a hexagon most of the time. The TAA is so hazy they think you wont notice the poor design and hide performance issues. You how I know its hiding things... You can not turn AA off. Features are just plain broken as well. Simply they had great intentions. The visuals just are not there, and on PC we are just powering through a unfinished product. Like we did with Ark or early access to Kingdomecome. Dont blame PS4s lack of power. CDPR knew from day 1 the systems they were dealing with, and just cause "we" pc guys can power through it you cant be fine with poor ports. We get them, its never pretty.
The story was short and honestly some of the endings are just bad. The characters you meet range from annoying to over dramatic. Honestly Johnny is easily the best character. Nameless NPCs have all the life as they did in Witcher 3. That is to say none. It feels like you are dealing with a movie set and not a world. Its just so empty incomparison to the Witcher 3 in both gameworld and nonstory quests.
Gameplay is serviceable. Not terrible, but not great either. There are a limited ammount of guns and hand to hand is useless. The radio stations are interesting but the story seems bent on you not listening to much of it.
Cyberpunk is not a bad game, but plagued with issues and not ground breaking. This needed more time, but that might not be the case for a game with alot of bad design. CDPR might have just bit off more than they can chew.

Not Even Worth My Time

First off, I've been fully refunded both on PC and XBOX One X. We played as much as we could in this overhyped game from a company clinging from a glory (Witcher 3) which is obvious those developers no longer are employed there.

Aside from the load of bugs, 1980's A.I., every dialogue line starts with a curse and ends with a curse, glorified immorality of every form, dildos as common as shoes and so forth, this game is a pure scam.

I shall call it the trojan horse of gaming. Came as the glorious game, but was actually mediocre programming (Youtube cyberpunk 2077 VS.. be amazed even 2000's game beating this crap)

I know, like me, many thought this was a blade runner/ Judge Dredd/ ghost in the shell as this game even plagiarizes (rips off) alot from those, but it's not.

Fan boys be fanboys and will defend these no matter if there's billions of youtube videos showing it's mediocre programming or infinite glitches.

For those others, be warned and save yourself from this trash. CD Red Projekt has shown it's priorities, glorified immorality over an AI for the police, crowd, traffic at least.

This game actually is the following: "CyberPORN 2077: Dildo paradizze" with story written by a 14 year old who just learned to curse and believes capitalization and punctuation should be replaced by a curse word to increase his peepee size. Additionally, the programmer cast is made of newbies who made a mod for GTA and believe they are AWEZOMZ SHIZ PR00grammerz (disregard the beta look those male have).

As for CD Red Projekt themselves, if they even had a reputation, now they have it for mediocre AI, glitch fest, lying, porn making immoral games. Bye CD red, you can use the charity I paid for the Witcher games in a proper moral education, you need it.

Got my refunds- HA HA!

Im on PC and I'm loving this game a lot!

This game have it's bugs here and there, but so far the gameplay overshadows it. The gameplay to me superb. I love that the city is alive and very different at the same time. You can play it your way: stealth, run and gun, hack, close range or from a distance. You can even do it all. I also like how the choices can affect certain outcomes to a certain degree. The weapons are very fun, i wish they had a little bit more variety and randomness, so that you wouldn't be picking up the same identical gun. But that's a small gripe. It's a great game to me and it's fun. One of my favorable moments was when I was able to explore more in the open world. Now, I have been playing on normal and up until now, things were a breeze kinda. So I went into the part of town where the missions were pretty much very high. I'm going in like I'm a bad**s about to dominate, I got my guns blazing, thinking this going to be easy. They put 2 bullets in me and I was dead. I was shocked like "what just happened"! So ok, I shook myself, thought it was just a fluke and it happened again and again. Ok, now I'm like wow! These mugs are super tough. Now i got to change up my fight pattern to just hit and run lol. It was a fun experience though. I enjoyed that. Now Im able to handle to a certain degree, seeing that I've leveled up and got better weapons. This game is maybe a 9.5/10 for Pc version.

Engaging Story, Fun Gameplay, and Impressive Visuals

Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2020

Platform For Display: PCEdition: StandardVerified Purchase

Bought the PC version of the game. Came with a bunch of goodies like a map and stickers. The actual game was in the form of a code that you'll need to input into GOG.

Cyberpunk 2077 was one of the most highly anticipated games of this decade. I knew it would be unlikely to meet the sky high expectations set by the gaming community. After playing it for an entire day, I must say I'm happy with what I'm seeing so far. Sure, there are a few bugs and the game can be optimized better. But the most important aspects of the game, story and gameplay are both impressive.

I highly recommend it as it's great fun and I'm certain based on CD Projekt Red's track record the few issues will be fixed in time. If you're a fan of rpg and open world games, this is the game for you.

It's not done yet.

Performance is not great unless you crank down the pretty. It clearly had a bunch of features and QA triaged away to get it out by 12-10. Which leaves it with a lot of really well done bits sitting right next to some really not good bits. There's some really glitch things, like reloading after a death makes the video quality garbage if using DLSS. It basically ignores it and runs it in worst mode until you switch to a different DLSS mode and back. Sometime characters will have their lips stop moving. This happens with NPCs and main story characters. Voices can get weird. I think it is supposed to be room reverb, but it sound like some vocal effect with a delayed copy of everything that you might do to convey telepathy or something.

Then there are things that are not glitches. Like getting warrant causing police to just teleport in behind you. Which wouldn't be that big a deal if it weren't for the driving being utter trash and accidentally hitting people getting you a warrant issues. Also that you have these really nice raytraced reflections, and reflections in the game don't include your character. Very 2005 there.

The less powerful your system, the worse the overall experience. Low frame rate increases input latency, and with the RPG style combat where you need to level up some to not miss everything a lot, it can be frustrating. Based on the posts I've been reading, it also seems like it might interfere with accurate collision detection and lower frame rate people seem to make up a majority of the complaints on clipping. I've seen little to none of it, but I have a beefy system that exceeds their RT Ultra system requirements.

It seriously needs some TLC.

Is this what game releases are going to be from now on?

Got through character creator. Game looks great by the way. As soon as I start to play it is in constant save mode, I still don't know if it saved the character I created. Then, the mission is to get out of the bathroom and I leave the bathroom but the breadcrumb trail on the map wants me to go back to the bathroom, never ending loop of visiting the bathroom and it's spinning trying to save.

Just don't release the game until you know it works. Test it on as many graphics cards and processors as you can, as many consoles as you can as many versions as you can. Lay low on advertising until you know your game works and is solid.

***Update, from 1 star to 4
Was able to log in and now have 5 game hours. The game is beautiful. I dont think my graphics card is up to par so that everything looks smooth. Great looking game though. Just strain on the eyes. Still has its bugs and glitches. Will reevaluate rating again once a few updates come out. This game reminds me why I don't do pre-orders. Probably best to wait 6-8 months for a game like this because there WILL be bugs. But glad I'm playing it while the hype is happening.
