Cyberpunk 2077 User Reviews & Impressions

[tavellone]

Yeah as the other people said, you've went into no explanation as to why it's 'bad'. I can assume why and I'll say what I said in the whole thread about the game's endings. If you think there's going to be a happy ending in this game you're missing the point of the IP. Besides which, having some contrived 'happy ending' would actually be bad writing. You don't always get what you want in life and the sand is true in art. No writer should be writing to please an audience's expectation, because that ceases to be art and becomes a product. As for the writing feeding the writers' egos, whatever that means, I'm pretty sure most artists do art for their own desire or need, not for a nonsense airy fairy view of selflessly creating to give something to humanity and anyone who says they are is most certainly lying.

I'd you're a writer and you think some magic ending where V gets cured and skips off into the sunset happily ever after is good writing then I hope I never have to encounter anything you decide to write.

my guess is that most of the player who want a happy ending are just not familiar with the source material and universe at all - judging the game and decisions made only from their game experience with no further input is all they can do. i wont defend them but its more than black and white imo... like playing NieR Automata people rofled and hated that you need to delete your savefile after completing to receive a secret title screen - while people who knew Taro just love him for beeing extravagant in all his games. Background infos or missing background infos might change views and opinions drastically in all areas of life...

I was generally mega hyped before the release of cyberpunk back then (like probably the whole gaming community).

However I was not disappointed perhaps because I had a very good gaming rig back then and did not run into technical diffuculties. I could also see the big detail that even was put in every NCPD call quest (I still remember the back stories of a lot of them). I did 3 playthroughs back then and was sucked into the world.

Haven't played until Phantom Liberty and so I played an completely revamped game now and was just blown away. Seriously the quest design and story of Phantom Liberty and story endings that open up and the combat is the best single player experience I've had in a long time. I would even go as far to say that I'm more flashed than BG3 and I'm really into CRGPs.

Still struggle with every ending that is possible in Phantom Liberty and seriously fought against tears on the credits song and the scenes shown.
That's not easy to admit for a 45 year old man.

Great work and thanks for everything.

I have enjoyed this game since its release.

I originally played it on PS4 and didnt see any game breaking bugs often so I was probably lucky but there were minor glitches that I tried to ignore.

I finished the game 3 times on my Series S and I just recently upgraded to a Series X and the graphically quality, while not as good as I hoped, was still pretty good for what it is.

The story itself was mesmerizng and I enjoyed evert intense moment.

The biggest 2 gripes I have had so far are the lack of character customization and the new police siren. Seriously though, why did you guys change it? The old siren fit the game so well. The new one just sounds generic and "realistic".

Anyways, if I had to rate this game myself, I would give it a solid 8/10, or a 85/100 especially since you guys worked so hard to fix the issues from release. It really is a good game now. Again though, BRING BACK THE OLD SIREN!

today i finally deleted all 10 saves i've played since v1.6. and i have some words to say at the end.
first of all, i'm sorry for how some people play your game. due to insane amount of bugs i avoided to play during 2.1 patch, so i briefly watched a dozen of different streamers. i am so sorry. but it is ok, i guess.
my second thought is bugs. at the release you had a roadmap to fix what happened. but what do we see at 2.0+ releases and patches? yes. bugs and bugs. for example, you say "we fixed the stash display" but you didnt. a person (if even exists) who tested this fix made a mistake messed pre-2.0 iconic weapons and 2.0+. and these problems were everywhere. i reported abount 20 bugs in version 2.11 and gave up. you need a person responsible for testing of your games.
third. i never played tw1 and dont remember such problem in tw2, but there is someone in your team who cant count. literally. do you remember that alchemist-blacksmith from the first tw3 dlc? we helped him to restore his workshop. the price was insane, and you fixed it with 4.0 patch. the same shit happens with cyberpunk. how much do we get for saving rosalind myers? yeah, i know there is a promise of a cure (maybe), but anyway. we get 25000. two thugs (probably) get a rayfield car which costs 6 times more. we pay stefan 63000 to have an abilty to visit the scavs again. kerry pays 20000+ for one simple grenade throw. you need a person responsible for the economics in your games.
fourth. i wanted to say smth about badly planned mechanics like cyberware capacity, level scaling or items scaling (for example: genjiroh tier 1 has 9.3 damage, tier 5++ has 40), but there is no fourth, no one will read this anyway, so thank you for two great games: cyberpunk 1.6 and cyberpunk 2.0+dlc. see you in the next game, i hope.

Нет переключателя ходьбы = 0/10.

Когда они добавляют, это пока 9/10. Хотя я вижу потенциал на 10/10. Но если принять во внимание все ошибки, то это скорее 7-8/10.

How not? I can choose to walk or run.

I'm new here, and I'm sure this horse has been beaten to death... but just give us a way to respec attribute points. I don't want to have to create a new char. You'd think that they would understand giving us the ability to respec would make us put more hours in.

 

[PhoenixBlack429]

I just need another DLC story guys, this isn't enough! lol
Top three game of all time for me! (I'm *Cough* ...ty years old!)

Is there any more on the horizon, or if there is, I bet you can't say right?

...I need more.

Sorry my friend, they've already confirmed there is nothing else coming besides bug fixes.

Take solace in the fact they already began work on the next game in the series. It'll be several years but at least work has begun.

(Sigh) Oh well, it was worth a try... I already knew the answer, but the denial was strong.

Man, that's a shame.

Thanks for your reply, much respects!

This game is an absolute disaster, riddled with bugs. It's made my new PS5 crash six times during the tutorial alone. The blurry screen is intolerable. CDPR should've delayed it at least six months to fix it properly. I'm deeply disappointed, especially after investing in the collector's edition, which I'll now sell. CDPR's [...] marketing fm whatsapp tactics have lost my trust. I'll steer clear of their games from now on.

would love to see a recoloring of clothes system

Cyberpunk is one of my most favorite game ever played. I am very forgiving about the bugs because, let's face it : my pc is a potato anyway so I was already glad that this poor beast coughed enough fps for me to play the game and enjoy the story and atmosphere.

I was engaged in the story, in the NPC's interactions, in the side quests... I loved the care they put into the drama and the acting... I think casting real actors to play in game characters like Silverhand and Reed was great. The voice acting was stellar and we very quickly feel like nobody is really perfectly good, some are completely bad like, human-trash-level bad and whatever contact you make, most (all ?) of them are using you in a way or another.

And it made me think about what our world, where super-rich people or corporation are getting out of control, could become. And I don't really want to live in a Night City distopya.

Almost all the cats have been eaten...

Glad to hear your enjoying the game. Not sure if it is your first play through and if it is, your in for one amazing story line, and choices you have to make. Enjoy!

As to thinking your computer is a potato don't feel too bad. This game will put PCs to its knees. I have a 16core 3950x 128GB of RAM with a 4080 Asus Strix OC card. And i can't run it in full Ray Tracing with out frame rate droping off a cliff.

I keep spending money on updating my PC to get the finest of this game. I hate it .

 

[TheGheist]

This game is really something very special. My experience has been 98% great. 2% were due to my not knowing how to handle a car well enough, to not crash into everything. ;P But after 640 hours of play time burned in, I finally got good at it, hah. The combat is super fun once I got the hang of chaining and movement. Hittin' those head shots during high speed dashes is such a great feeling. Kinda makes you feel like one of the Edgerunners in the anime.

I pretty much love everything about this game. But I wish there was more. :<
I frequently daydream of the day CDPR drops Redkit for Cyberpunk and possibly creating some really cool quest lines made by talented and creative modders. It would have been sweet if there were repeatble warehouse combat missions that spring up all over Night City in the same way car heists and races do. Like maybe the Maelstrom are creating a new drug and one of my fixers tips me off to check it out. Another could be in regards to black market weapons for an all out attack against another gang, etc. Different affiliations combat missions for loot and well... engaging in fun senesless repeatable combat.

The visuals are amazing (right down to the bullet). The story is really good and it managed to cut deep into my soul. Some of the music (Night City Radio) is something that took a little time to warm up to but I really appreciate the direction, being that the year is 2077. I now know the entire lyrics to "Pon Pon Shit".
PT Adamczyk is unmatched though. Absolutely amazing musical work.

The core foundation is what really made this game a very special experience for me. So much passion. I can see it in the most minute details. I can't seem to find the right words to describe the feeling... But it's kind of like when you read a great novel and your mind just runs away with it.

I chose to play female V for my first run, to see what the character dynamics would be like. I love Cherami Liegh's voice work quite a bit.
I look forward to my second run with male V and hearing Gavin Drea's voice.

This game really makes you think hard and I love that.

There were a couple bugs causing a few minor wrinkles along the smooth experience, but I was able to ignore most of it.
I still hope these will get ironed out later.

And yes... I too am currently putting away "eddies" for a new pc build to push more visual juice out of this gem. I hear the 50 series are coming out in Fall.
I very much look forward to Orion. Till then, I'll never stop fighting.

Amazing game.

 

[Terrormask]

I original didn't like the game before patches many due the the bugs and returned it to steam... however I knew I wanted the game because I liked the concepts.. a year later a re bought the game and never looked back this was game I wanted..

 

[FelineWitcher]

The only thing truly wrong with this game is that Lucy is not in it

 

[Warlord-616x]

i love the game but you guys have to find some real mission creators. your races are not races and are entirely scripted and fake from start to finish and the car handling is atrocious. missions like the presidental one from the dlc? i think thats the single worst mission ive played in any game for decades both from a writing perspective and from a gameplay one. its just forced and contrived and cliched and dripping in woke nonsense.

just make the game harder in general and dont cheat with your ai to do it. again i love the game and everything cyberpunk but the game really had some very unprofessional or highly dated elements to its design that really had a noticeable effect on the final product.

i didnt care about the initial release being buggy as i knew that stuff would get fixed but you cant fix or hide bad game making and cheese.

all this having been said i love the world and not all the missions were bad, and its hard to quantify all the things i do like and i will be recommending it to others but the complaints about this game almost caused me to avoid it entirely and are perfectly legit.

i really enjoyed the build for my character and i found to be really like some of the old pen and paper games, altho i feel like i was kinda limited to to the options i found and im not too keen on builds that rely on eliminating enemies for short term buffs especially not when theres only a few enemies in any given area at a time and things like double jump and melee aoe stuns really kinda throw things off for me.

but all this having been said i do think its still an amazing game overall and have high hopes for the future. feels like real cyberpunk.

The release was disgusting and the company will never be forgiven if they don't even try to make amends. Never buying anything by them again
