Cyberpunk 2077 User Reviews & Impressions

[Mk3rd]

Putting bugs aside, and the strong CDPR non-linearity, the detail in this game is amazing. The guitar playing NPCs are convincing af, seriously I could just stare at them for minutes on end. The cover system is THE most intuitive thing ever, the destructibility and paths you can take to an objective is just fun as hell. Cyberware gets me excited and of course, as a metalhead, there's Black, Death and Thrash Metal and Hardcore-Punk tunes in grimy bars and radios that make me want to drive through Maelstrom boys and girls.

Not all things are the best. The level gating, the progression is basic video game progression. And the key-bindings. But I could get behind it since I know people will mod that out on PC. Even already fixed the binding issues.

There are only 2 fundamental issues that takes me out and one minor gripe:

1. Vehicle damage and motorcycle crashes are too tuned. Cars are too durable and feel like driving a tank that doesn't dent, but quickly catches fire after a few shotgun rounds. And when I crash on the back of other cars with a motorcycle I usually just go under sending the car in front flipping forward with V unharmed.

2. The shops. There are way too many working vending machines while shops and shop keepers are non-interactive despite having so much detail as if they were supposed to be interactable. It makes the world feel plastic really and ruins the illusion.

Those two take me out as they look like core systems rather than bugs. And my minor gripe is the AI, from peds to drivers who just refuse to drive around anything that's on the road to enemies who just stands there. Could be a bug, dunno. Peds in TW3 was kinda the same, not going around Roach when he's blocking the road.

It does not fit in my head: how could it be possible, after the brilliant Witcher, to release this motley rattle? Kindergarten. It's a good thing I didn't buy it. .
And the point here is not at all in bugs, they would forgive you for sure. The fact is that with this game you have changed a large audience of players to kindergarten, since only children can like it.
P.S. Left to play The Witcher 3.

7 years doing this shit, where in the city at night there are 2 cars a million identical side quests and a bunch of bugs ... in general, 0 out of 10 bought in vain plus hacked overnight thanks so much to CDPR/ and
and that's 1 out of 100 problems

Hello CD Projekt Red. I Just want to let you guys know I love Cyberpunk 2077. I have been playing on my Xbox One X (Haven't been able to snag a Series X or PS5 yet) and it has been running beautifully since the hotfix update. Before the hotfix update sure there were bugs but I didn't care about those. I was more pissed off about the crashing. After about 3 to 4 hours of gameplay the game would crash. Ever since the hotfix, no crashing after 8 straight hours of gameplay! Not to mention more FPS for sure. Don't sweat those people trying to destroy your game! They should be thankful you're probably the FIRST and ONLY game company to start fixing a game TWO days after it is released! I love you guys and always have since The Witcher up to The Witcher 3! Keep up the good work and know that you have a true fan here! Peace and Love!

Bugs and glitches aside. I love this game. Did not expect it to run all that well on X1X but it does. its on par with Dying Light that was pretty glitchy when it launched.

I am a pretty straight forward action junky, so the RPG elements does not attract my attention all that much. its a fun addition but not necessary. I bought RDR2 and GTA V before and almost finished them, but when i buy a game i try to complete most of the challenges and missions and of some reason i have several missions left on RDR2 and some side missions on GTA V

Im not going to do that mistake on CP2077. That would be blasphemy on such a marvel.
CDPR do however need to iron out all the bugs and glitches. Cause when i get my hands on a PS5 or XSX i want this game to be smooth as butter. I can live with 30 fps on X1X for now. Cause there are a lot of replay value in this game and i want to be able to complete it 100%

For now i give it 6/10 because of bugs and crashes

Obviously you have not played Star Citizen or No mans sky
Witcher3, RDR2 GTA V at Launch?

Pretty buggy!

I can live with CP2077 for now. Especially as i got a great launch deal on the game.
But i hope the NEXT GEN mods will make it shine on every new console and PC

I have come to the conclusion that if you restart the console once and again the game does no glitch or act weird as it tend to do after several hours of gameplay when the cash is full.

I run my games off several SSDs and i'm not sure if that makes the game run smoother than using traditional harddrives.
I think the loading times are acceptable. i would say the game runs at +25 fps at most times. not 10 or worse like other have reported.

 

[Nehezbegar]

The game is a far cry from this gameplay

Cyberpunk 2077 Gameplay Reveal — 48-minute walkthrough - YouTube

I think from this perspecitve perhaps not showing the early gameplay would be a better decision

 

[Kriptz197]

Let's face it... This is probably the worst game I have ever played. It feels like a mix of Rage 2 with Fallout, Borderlands and GTA but so cringy and so bad...

-The cars are ugly and the driving is terrible. It feels like the cars are on ice.

-The AI is just plain stupid. They stare at you without even shooting...

-The city is empty and there's nothing to do but press F infront of someone and recieve the same dialogue of an annoyed person who's had a bad day.

-The gameplay itself just feels old and out dated... Like we've seen it too many times.

-Bugs and bugs... Cars overlaping, people flying around.... invisible walls... Frame drop every corner... I could keep on going for about 7 years.

So in the end I give this game a 3/10 only for the graphics. But for a product that has been on the work for 7 years and milked as much... It's just bad.
I will not be buying anymore product from CDRP... Uninstalling the game and done with it for good.

Have a good one.

First off, Excellent game
I'm running a Ryzon 5 1600 6 core, 32 gigs of ram, 1080ti video card
And game is honestly one of the cleanest bug free AAA games I ever seen at launch! No Ray Tracing or DLSS obviously with that video card, but I can still run game at Ultra setting and other then few disconnects on Day 2 (that Console patch made day 2 tough to play because of crashes) the games been running really amazing.
So mad props from the get go for that.

[...]
Guess the old adage holds true
You get what you pay for.
Spent 3k on my computer 3 years ago and haven't regretted it once since then.

So onto game itself.
Its a fun game and I'm slowly starting to find alternative passages and routes for missions.
I definitely see how much Deus Ex Human Revolution and Mankind Divided influenced you all
And that's a good thing
I early on was finding gigs and missions a little tedious as they were just run in and kill missions

I was totally missing DE:HR air vents and climbing mechanics
But now I'm in further I'm starting to discover those more often.

The story (started on Corpo) has been fantastic (but I'm a little concerned because you announced how short it is before launch that I find myself focusing more on side missions and gigs and bounties before I advance the story anymore).

Honestly I give you a SOLID 8.5 outta 10 for Cyberpunk 2077
Not as good as Deus Ex Human Revolution Directors Cut (which I gave a 9-9.5 outta 10)
But big step up from Deus Ex Mankind Divided (which I gave a 7.5 to)

Do now the negative stuff.

[...]

2) Sure you've heard this allot but you made a mistake not adding 3rd person perspective as a option.
One of my major frustrations in CP2077 is try to judge distance for jumps and what not.
Inching up the edge of a ledge with out running off it
These are things that make TPP so strategic and tactical for play.
I gave CP2077 a pass and pre ordered this time despite the announcement of FPS only
But that was a one and done exception for me
This game needs TPP in many of of the missions.
Give players the option to play TPP or FPS and let each player decide what's right for them personally.

3) You need a better cover system
This one is clunky
I find it ironic that even Deus Ex decided to do TPP when you used their cover system
It was the right call for them and would be the right call for you

4) Pet Peeve but I hate not being able to enter businesses and even apts
The always locked door is just this generations invisible wall scenario

5) Since it influenced you so heavily. Maybe put even more Deus Ex type missions (love those)

6) TO MUCH READING!!!

Seriously you got so much reading in the game that I just start skimming
I know Im missing stuff but its just to much reading

My suggestion is use a voice actor to narrate out loud the data pad and computer entries and stuff
So make the players read all that stuff.

Over all I'm loving the game and felt you needed to hear that [...]

Thanks CDProjektRED
Job well done imo
Merry Christmas to all of you!

The criticism here is overreacted!
The game needs improvement yes, the game has bugs yes, the game has issues in consoles yes, the AI doesn't function properly in the Npc yes, maybe the games was lunched 2 months yearly because of the pressure of the stockholders and investors yes.
But we can't turn a blind eye to the excellent work that was done here the game is very complex and beautifully made with a concept that is different from what in out there in market, the lore is also huge and that takes work.
I have no doubt that CD PROJECKT RED will correct the bugs, issues and other things that are not present at the moment. People here have a tendency to get pregnant by the ears and there are many haters out there that with covid-19 have to occupy their time criticizing.
Buyers have the right to demand a game without the issues and bugs and have the right to a refund after all the like i paid in full and in advance but don't get overrated actions the issues and the bugs and i believe the AI will be fixed soon just have a little patience the CD Projeckt Red will make the game even better.
On my PC the game runs smooth it has some bugs and issues but I'm quite satisfied with the game it's a great game unfortunately not a masterpiece but CD Projeckt Red if they want can turn it into.
Thank you CD Projeckt Red for the game i hope and wish that you correct the bugs and keep improving the game and the game experience, the witcher 3 didn't have a great start but now is a beautiful game.

Cyberpunk 2077 is quite fun RPG to be honest, but advertised as revolutionary real life city simulator. CDPR pulled out Muhammad Ali on themselves with promo campaign - " I AM THE GREATEST " could be heard everywhere.

To me open world aspects are most fun and it kinda plays like mixture of Fallout 4\ FarCry and some stealth FPS game.

By the way... the plothole in the story... It makes ZERO sense why protagonist we controlling would do any side activities considering hes\her situation with the BioChip ( the other aspect of BioChip - not Johnny ).

"We'll bang, okay ?"

Huge potential for improvement is in open world that is ( sadly ) tied to the main story - we can't fully explore the game without getting biochip, and also many interesting NPC's are locked behind main story. I can't believe we can't skip even something so shallow like mandatory Braindance introduction. Second playthrough going throught the main story to " unlock " an open world ... guys, straight up BORING.

For example in Fallout 4 I can completely ignore searching for Shaun and make my own story right fromn the get go. Here, you basicaly can't fully have fun in the game if you wont touch main story.
Fire the game director becouse I would figure it out it's a horrible decision after 5 min thinking about it.

Prediction : CDPR is going to cancel all planned DLC expansions and turn this game into somewhat successful multiplayer game

 

[TigaShout]

1. I love the character creator. One of my favorites.
2. The story and characters so far are great.
3. Haven't had too many bugs yet (couldn't pick up some cards in the Nomad prologue tower, but that's it).
4. I am terrible with mouse and keyboard in combat.

Also: Edited title for a bit more longevity.

Was it the one on the top floor of the tower?

Had the same and had quite the sad-face upon looking at the loot screaming at me to get picked up XD

 

[Alcast]

I played a whole lot of games in 2020, but Cyberpunk 2077 is definitely my top pick so far. Yes it has problems, but I am confident CDPR will fix the bugs. So far I have played around 35 hours.

my biggest positive points
City really feels like a city, driving around is great, everything looks amazing.
Characters and Story quests are great, you can really see that all quests were handcrafted, great!
Weapons and shooting feels amazing

What I would like to see added:
More city mechanics, cops vs gangsters driving around etc (yes static shootouts already happen between cops and gangs, but I also would love to see thefts etc).
More in depth clothing/weapon customization system (transmog)
Garage to customize/show off my cars (might come with multiplayer?)
Extra Netrunning/Cyber mechanics (or maybe a complete rework?)


I play on max settings in 1080p with RTX on and no problems/crashes so far. RTX 3090 with an I9-9900k and 32GB RAM.

p.s. CDPR should have delayed the consoles version by at least a year.

One post edited and another removed. Please keep things respectful and avoid comments of "platform wars" nature. It helps no one and will net you penalties for breaking the forum regulations. Thanks.

 

[ChibiBubba]

I hope the creators are not done developing this game.
I play the game with raytracing and it looks fantastic.

-a few minors for me was when I or an npc would splash in a puddle of mud and water and there's no ripple effect.
-your company in missions glitch from place to place.
-sometimes my gun won't appear when I'm equipping something new.

this invisi-gun is funny but not realistic...
Furthermore this game is a little bugged so here and there but it's playable
but that doesn't mean this game is 100% ready.

looking forward to updates (and dlc)

 

[Flagellomane]

Well, after few days playing it (still completing the main campaing, I'm not running in it, I'm following it with calm), I could say that, not considering....

- Language/Subtitles settings not kept after being applied and exiting/entering the game.
- Most ridiculous NPCs ragdolls ever seen. Basically NPCs are empty shells with rubber joints when they die/fall.
- Police spawning everywhere, from nowhere.
- No NPCs pickpocketing (in a game like that are there no thieves? really?)
- Spawning, flying and not flying, cars/cigarettes/cans/trashcans and every other possible objects from nowhere/sky.
- Interpenetrations with everything and also during "cutscenes" (cars, NPCs, between NPCs, objects, etc.).
- Basically no stealth possible, apart for enemies....if you try killing, even with silenced guns, or even punching a person, police will spawn beside you in no time.
- Flying cars/objects with no reason (even if you are doing nothing).

.....is a "good" alpha game.

Now I'm curious if they will be able to fix at least these in the next few "months" (wishing they will not transform in "years").

Really, after so many years I am wondering "when" they have actually began programming this game, because it seems really unripe, I cannot believe this is the result of a development of "six, or more, years", this would be even worser.

 

[Kharper11]

Absolutely love the game. Same initial problems as others but after the 1.04 patch it works fine on my base ps4. It still might crash every now and then, but my biggest problem is when the camera occasionally slides upward which makes combat a nightmare. If you save and exit a couple times it usually fixes it. I have a strong feeling people haven't really played it since the last update.

 

[Kreisegger]

I will not even talk about the bugs

This games was the most hyped game ever until now, we wait more than 7 years for him, and now it's here

Now i know why people say this game was overrated, i know why
you guys praised this game so much, to much, and i start to know why.

I expected more details, more animations, and more REALISM, i know it's an RPG, but is an RPG in the year 2020 (if you know what i mean)
Why is V the only person who ride a motorcycle in game?(wtf)
The AI is soo dumb, lifeless, useless, is just there....whitout having a point
GTA 3 AI is a lot much better than cyberpunk 2077

CDPR invested more in Marketing and in Promoting the game, instead of investing in the actual game
I think they knew that, because they've knew the game is not gonna be that good.

Is not even close of what Witcher 3 did( it is and always gonna be a Titan in gaming)

To be honest, i buy the game just for Romances and Keanu Reeves, and for respect for the people who worked on him.

And the Romances are the worst(The Witcher 2 and 3, was more realistic when we talk about sex scenes), more of them they don't have any logic, they just happen without a logic i will not gonna give spoilers

Another issue, is the controls, i think are the worst controls in a video game ever, at this moment
The Graphics are not the best not even on the max settings
What in the hell is street creed?, it's soo fcking useless, the only thig he gives you, is the access to anything you can buy
I mean wouldn't it be better if when your street cred is high your treated with more respect/fear across the city and in almost all interactions?

I'm playing this game on
RTX 2080TI OC
I9 10900KF
32 GB RAM
SSD 3TB
And the game still have frame drops, lag, stuttering, etc.

Another problem is the Main Story, is so short, 30-40 hours max, i wanted a story at least long as the Withcer 3 has or even bigger
And the quality of the story is just ok(nothing special) is just have a lot more endings( but they are not the best)
More of the Choices in the game are so useless, and they don't have a logic, are just there without a point to use them.
The Characters are not so memorable, like they were in the Witcher 3
In the witcher 3 i started to care about Geralt, about his decisons.
And all the other characters from the witcher 3 are more deep and complex,
the characters from Cyberpunk looks so borring, and look like they are forced to say something

The fact that you’re supposed to start at the bottom and rise to the top of night city, yet never get an apartment upgrade, is unbelievable.

Cyberpunk 2077 is a reminder that no matter the hype we should not preorder games

About Night City

-There are a **** ton of BDs yet you cant watch any
-You cant rob stores
-You cant customize weapons and cars
I really feel sorry for the devs Anyone else disappointed you cannot shoot out of your car? This game could have been a REAL MASTERPICE, like the Witcher 3, but is just another overhyped fail Anyway, another issue, is the combat......IT SUCKS. The game need a lot more polish I would have love to play this game even at the end of 2021 I don't know if CDPR is a awesome gaming company or The Witcher 3 was just luck, idk... They can fix the bugs, but the story and the gameplay never The Worst Part of Cyberpunk isn't the Bad Gameplay. It's that it destroyed my trust in CDPR forever. CDPR do not deserve your forgiveness. I hate to say it, but this game is the biggest fail after Anthem

 

[Gythral]

Really, really want a 'NO, I'm not driving' option everytime, really starting to annoy me & make me quit to play something else

kb/m driving isnt BAD - it's absolutly terrible!
