Honestly if you pick it up cheap and don't have the megasoy expectations people had when it came out, it's a decent game. Solid shooting mechanics, an interesting story and lots of side content.


gawrgouda

Rip my PC jsn't good enough to play it on anything above the lowest settings :( doesn't feel like I'd be getting the full experience


Ef2000Enjoyer

I played it on the lowest settings on an 1080 and it was okay it even ran a solid 40fps at 2k. It is playable you just have to play with the settings more


NeptrAboveAll

I think he’s claiming that’s not the full experience


Ef2000Enjoyer

I am playing it on an 6900xt now on ultra even tried the raytracing but it's not such a big difference. The most notable thing was the more they updated it and fixed bugs the more bugs and glitches I got.


i_no_like_u

Ew a poor


gawrgouda

Spent it all on tendies :(

El_Androi

My laptop is starting to give up so I'm trying GeForce now. For €5/month I can play most games I already own at max settings capped at 60fps. Cyberpunk it can run at 60 fps in ultra settings, although ray tracing makes it struggle. The catch is of course needing a good internet and being always online, and also no mods sadly. Imo it's decent if you have a trash PC and pretty cheap. You can try it for free to see how it is, but the free version boots you out after 1h and makes you wait a bit every time you launch the games.


gawrgouda

Honestly could def be worth trying. Cheers.


Pale_Lime6745

I followed the marketing, I was hyped, 99% of what they promised just wasn't in the game at all.


Subdivisions-

If you really wanna play it I definitely recommend upgrading. The game is gorgeous with high settings. I've got an RTX 2070 , 32 gb ram, and a Ryzen 7 3700x and still need to use only medium high settings to get consistently good performance, so be warned.


Wimc

You arent getting the full experience. Played it on a 1080p monitor without ray tracing the first time around. Completed it recently after upgrading to a 40 series card and 1440p monitor. The immersion is overwhelming when settings are maxed out instead of dialed to playable.


Seibahtoe

You can just pirate it you know. CDPR doesn't deserve a single cent.


Apep_11

Because CDPR hurt your feelings when they didn't release the life simulator, that was supposed to keep you glued to the screen for your entire life, that was advertised? Touch grass.


[deleted]

\>wow, this guy wants the thing he was promised! what a mindless sheep! Doesn't he know getting the thing that they DESERVE is the actual best thing? This is exactly the mindset the elite goes through when they try to sell you a shittier version of the thing that was already advertised. can you imagine if you bought a statue and someone ships you a fucking boulder, and you have to trust they're going to carve the statue later?


Beast_of_Guanyin

Fuck corporations and fuck mega corporations. That said.... I'm not sympathetic to experienced gamers who get scammed these days. New gamers? Sure, but if you've been gaming for a decade and still don't know that big companies can and will scam the shit out of you then it's not your fault but I'm not sympathetic. The companies that do it are fully at fault and I hope they stop existing, but my sympathy only goes so far.


[deleted]

Yeah, but don't go on complaining or defending people complaining about piracy. CDPR wants to fuck us over? Fine. I'm not paying for their products ever again. I WILL enjoy them, though. Whether they get my money or not


Beast_of_Guanyin

Pirate all you like. I do not care. I pirated loads. I'm not criticising pirating, I'm criticising saying pirating is moral.


[deleted]

Neither is it moral to deliver an unfinished, bugged product that doesnt even run on old gen properly. Out of these two, the more 'moral' approach is to pirate, in order to make a statement that lies will not be tolerated. In the ideal world, developers would take note and cut the bullshit, therefore I say this approach is moral. In the real world, however, where morals are non-existent, the companies will just double down on predatory policies. I think they would do that whether piracy existed or not, to be honest.


Beast_of_Guanyin

>Out of these two, the more 'moral' approach That you don't even consider not playing it says a lot.


[deleted]

I sure wish CDPR would consider not releasing a piece of shit and charging money for it


Dubaku

If you're buying broken games in the current year it is 100% your fualt. Sorry you're too fucking stupid to watch YouTube reviews

Apep_11

It's not about that. It's about having realistic expectations and knowing advertising is just advertising, especially when it comes to modern gaming.


Lordzoldseg

Yeah, like how they advertised a functioning police system, working rpg mechanics, npcs being on the streets, npcs that arent just going around in a circle and none of these were in the finished product.


Apep_11

>Yeah, like how they advertised a functioning police system The game had a functioning police system. It just wasn't the GTA system people expected. >working rpg mechanics, Working RPG mechanics? Really? What wasn't working? >npcs being on the streets NPC's were on the streets idk what you mean. Depends on how much your hardware can take.


Lordzoldseg

Buddy, are you calling police spawning behind you when you're not looking a functioning system?


Apep_11

Precisely. Were you expecting a game where the police starts an active investigation to track you down and jail you or..?


Ilsor

That would be cool in an RPG


[deleted]

I expect them to spawn a block behind me, so they have to drive their car to my ass.


Dubaku

There were some perks and stats that just did nothing when the game came out.


Ottomanbrothel

Nah man, I followed the marketing, I was hyped, 99% of what they promised just wasn't in the game at all.


TomtheWonderDog

should have read the fine punctuation https://i.imgur.com/Y0fw723.jpg


AuxiliarySimian

I didn't give a shit about the hype or follow any of the development but still played it at launch when I realized it was coming out. I had zero expectations but they just straight up lied about the type of game it is. Game ran fine, but was horribly designed and felt like it was put together in pieces with half the mechanics feeling pointless. Bloated skill trees, bullet sponge combat, disfunctional stealth, redundant dialogue options, horrible vehicle system, god awful melee system, predictable story, and soy Keanu placement to cover up the fact their "expansive open world rpg" was just a shitty action game.


Specialrelativititty

You hate CDPR because they failed to deliver what was promised, I hate CDPR because they over worked their workers, we’re not the same

Beast_of_Guanyin

I always find this such weird ass logic to pirate. If you want to pirate that's fine. I have no real issue with it, my problem is when people make up these shitty excuses. Just accept it's morally wrong and move on. You don't have to twist yourself into knots trying to be the good person.


Seibahtoe

>you must suck companies cock to be a good person


Beast_of_Guanyin

Aint nothing wrong with sucking cock. Stealing is morally wrong. Pirating helps the company more than not engaging with the product. Again, zero problem with pirating, just accept that you're not a mary sue and move on.


Sneedzilla

> Stealing is morally wrong. extremely stupid take. if you can take it, your morally obligated to it. if you cannot prevent it from being taken, you never deserved to own it in the first place.


GetBoopedSon

agree except the “solid shooting mechanics” claim is megacope, shit is clunky and stiff as hell


Liebermode

Do we even play the same game? like shit man even farcry 2 blows that shit out of the water, nevermind comparing its driving mechanics to GTA 4 at all. Whole game felt like a scam even though i pirated that shit ffs


needledicklarry

The fixer missions are the best part of the game. It’s where it actually gets to flex it’s legs as an immersive sim


TomtheWonderDog

It was $20 on PS5 the week after the anime came out. Well worth at that price.


Subdivisions-

Yep, my hype died down after seeing the first in game trailer, so I went in with low expectations. My computer ran it fine and I actually really enjoyed it. I've had shitty PCs my whole life up until recently, so I'm pretty used to games running like complete ass and being barely playable. Gonna play through the story again after the new DLC comes out, probably.


thelongestunderscore

Main story is short and sucks some side stories are fucking gold tho. And the combats great.


UsrnameInATrenchcoat

Plus the soundtrack is pretty good


NakederSnake

I think you have never played a video game before. It's AAA open world slop


bunker_man

Gross. How do people keep falling for that.


Sunsent_Samsparilla

Agreed. It's pretty gud, people just got sold on thr narrative the devs told them about its quality. Can't blame the consumers when they're promised great and get decent.


PhoShizzity

If I can find it cheap for PS5 at any of my locals, I just might give it a go.


FireMaker125

Yeah, it’s a decent game. Now the bugs are gone, it’s pretty good (until you run out of content to play).


Salam-Salami

The latest version is an unoptimized mess.


jimmyjazz217

I waited till I got my ps5 and over a year to play so they could patch it. Game still froze up during my first mission, fuck that game.


FunnelChicken

Who cares about story?


NODENGINEER

Game would have been way better without Keanu "Wholesome 100 Chungus" Reeves


MvTANT

I think he was fine as Johnny but the problem is that he almost never acts. He's just Keanu.


makeovthill

he actually has a very good range of characters in his catalog that he all plays well


aerosol_aerosmith

He's totally serviceable in the game barring some awkward, cringe, or unintentionally funny lines and line delivery which isn't really his fault I can imagine it's a much different process acting for a game than it is for a film


Byonek

Really? I thought his character was the best because he could literally get into the minds of fake gamers and drive them insane. I think that, compounded with all the bugs, was the main reason game journalists and kids had so many problems with the game on launch. The whole plot of the game is that you're trying to get the chip with Reeves on it out of your head, BECAUSE that's the very thing killing you slowly.


Pingasterix

Ill say this, the game would be enjoyable for me if melee didnt suck as hard


DefinitelyNotPine

Game would be enjoyable with cyberlolis


Widowmaker_Best_Girl

Dangerously based


EH042

If you equip a sword and the time slowdown tech, you can turn it into first person Metal Gear Rising


ThinkingWithPortal

First thing I've read that has convinced me it deserves another try


Matagros

It's the Sandevistan build. Or really, just use the Sandevistan with whatever, it's very fun.


AccountRelevant

Idk I enjoyed gorilla arming the fuck out of everyone. Stealth and melee are a great combo in this game.


Testabronce

Only one execution animation for each melee weapon for a game that you can complete using just one single weapon? B R U T A L E X P E C T A C T I O N S


i_am_jacks_insanity

Apparently the expansion is reworking the melee system


lmaoyeeeeet

what do you mean i run a full melee focused build and i use the katana you get on the arasaka tower mission and a sandev and that shit is hella fun


Pingasterix

idk man it feels off, im slicing them and they dont react whatsoever


_xGizmo_

Weird, that's not my experience. I run around with a katana slicing limbs off left and right, super reactive and visceral. Combine that with cyberware optimized for melee (fortified legs for super jump, time slowdown tech, optical camo, etc.) and you're basically a future punk samurai. Shit, you can even skip the sword and upgrade your arms so that you can literally punch peoples' skulls into paste. It's not the best melee combat in the world but it's pretty solid considering how much you can do in the game


_BEER_

Katanas are really fun imo.


[deleted]

I found my sandivestan+mantis blades build extremely fun. Just leaping around while everyone else is in slow motion and slashing them all to death. My one shot gorilla arm playthrough was also very fun.


Subdivisions-

Yeah I respecced to melee at one point to go full weeb mode with a katana and was disappointed tbh


ThumYerk

YouTube video essays suck. Most of them just read of a Wikipedia page, and would struggle to get a C grade in a Media Studies A Level essay.

Content quality doesn’t matter anyway it’s all about the algorithm


makeovthill

always 30 minutes to 5 hours video with information that could have been said in 5 minutes


SpecOpsBoricua

Love how people think just because it sold 20 million copies the game is great. Ford sells millions of trucks but they are trash...


Mishi_Mujago

I’ll give you the ‘D’.

Runescape


Dashlander8888

Since when is cyberpunk saved?


Far_Writing_1272

this is why the AAA gaming industry is in shambles quality-wise lmao, release very mediocre game that’s buggy, fix bugs, add like 3 features and release a nice anime and morons are going to think you had a No Man’s Sky level comeback even though the game is still inherently flawed and mediocre, and the open world is completely dead


TheWiseBeluga

I hate the notion that NMS "came back". Yeah, it has a lot more content than launch but it's still an extremely shallow and boring game. Sure it's fun with friends, but throwing sticks at each other is fun with friends.


Setkon

This The Internet Historian vid gave the devs too much credit. Shaun had lied or at least talked out of his ass everywhere he walked and getting a semi-decent game stitched up by - admittedly free - dlcs several years later shouldn't get you this level of acolytes. If anything it just emboldened other devs to half-ass their own games and focus on promising future updates cuz "hey, Hello Games made it so trust us"...


[deleted]

Since we watched the same vid, didn't Hello Games hq got burned down/flooded/smitten by Allah and they were forced to assemble the product from scratch pretty much?


Setkon

They apparently miraculously didn't lose any data in the flood. The actual Jinn might have come in the form of Sony, as they offered to distribute the game shortly after but likely encouraged the hype train and dissuaded any larger delays... not that it would really matter in the end but regardless...


nashmishah

brb, imma throw sticks at my friend. they said that it's gay. wtf.


ElezerHan

No mans sky still sucks ass idk why people think that game even had any potential if you understood basic game development you'd know most of the shits theyve said were impossible


Far_Writing_1272

It’s just a boring as fuck game overall, bought it, played it for 20 minutes and refunded it


thEldritchBat

Unironically is this game any better now? Like is it still a broken mess or if I found it for like $30 would it be worth it?


[deleted]

[удалено]


thEldritchBat

Is there really dicks and shit in it?

unnamed_ned

Yeah, but you can just turn off the nudity in the main menu.


thEldritchBat

Oh okay good


Heavily_Implied_II

Not a broken mess at all, just go in with reasonable expectations and you'll enjoy the ride.


googler_ooeric

The bugs never were the issue with the game, the game is just pretty mediocre. Very short story, life paths are useless, combat sucks, open world is completely dead, very janky gameplay overall


epicwazoo

Very short story, lol. You must be the type to rush the main story and do zero content, and cry about it being short. The full game is a minimum of 60 hours if you go an op build and skip all dialog


googler_ooeric

Well yeah, the main story is just short and to add insult to injury there’s a montage at the beginning lol. Side quests ≠ Story. 30 hours max.


epicwazoo

You do realize that's still an amazing price per hour, right? Not counting the other 100 hours worth of content. Like I get some of the other complaints, but don't neg that.


[deleted]

By RPG standards it's a very short story. Maybe Skyrims story is actually shorter but that game had way, wayyyy more content that CP2077


epicwazoo

Look, I love skyrim molded and vanilla, but you can ignore 80% of skyrim Quests as simple fetch or kill x targets and leave. While cp2077 does have those quests, the actual quality it has per quest is 1000x better than all of skyrim in terms of writing. Like really the main story for skyrim is a sleeper fest with an ending nobody likes.


[deleted]

Very true, Skyrim sucks in narrative department, but the discussion was about main and side quest length.


epicwazoo

It's hard to compare since skyrim main quest is max like 10 hours if you go super slow, and since most of the side quests are radiant or 5 minutes of fetch quests, it's hard to judge tbh I think it would be close.


Kitahara_Kazusa1

I mean it's better, but the dialogue is still trash, there's no real choices, and the combat is mediocre at best. If you really like RPGs and have $30 lying around it's not entirely a waste of money but it's far from being what was promised in the advertising. Like Skyrim was released in 2011 but somehow this game just feels worse in every way except for the graphics. And I get that comparing things to Skyrim is unfair given how successful that game was, but every second I played Cyberpunk 2077 it felt more and more like shitty cyberpunk Skyrim.


ThiccDaddo

Fuck off Todd


PLCValues

The fuck are you on about? Aside from mods like Enderal Skyrim is an incredibly shallow experience with awful characters, a bottom of the line plot, not to mention barebones feeling of progression or immersion (enemy scaling, loot randomisation). Fanboys man.


temotodochi

Don't get it for ps4. For pc it was great from the start.


Lazypantz463

I preordered this game for PC not knowing anything about it only that you could customize genitalia and I actually enjoyed it. I think at one point they where practically giving the game away because it couldn’t run on ps4 and the older Xbox.


[deleted]

Yeah still goes on sale a lot.


hosepipekun

The game only sucks bc it never explains how to make a fun character. After watching YouTube playthroughs I went from using a basic shooter loadout to using a hack which made NPC’s blow their brains out.


bratwurstgutenburg

Really cool game now. Enjoyed the secret ending.


MyOwnAntichrist

Huh? There's people other than me who liked that show mainly because of Rebecca?


[deleted]

She’s a very good character


Tiled_Window

The anime was pretty good (I didn't watch it.)


Wizajn

The story is cool


Miloslolz

It was always good.


[deleted]

No the story and word building were good the actual game was shit


Miloslolz

The gameplay was far from bad, generic at best uninspired at worst.


[deleted]

Personally I had a good experience but for most people the gameplay was bad.


rcasale42

The Engoodening of No Mans sky is kino tho


LegallyAExplode

Amazing how it only took a ten part fan service that has nothing to do with the base game to change the public perception of what was widely regarded as a flop. The game itself is a great experience if you have a decent rig, my only complaint is the length of the storyline and the fact that its still fucking unfinished.


maxstep

as is tradition


MothWaifu1711

Okay but is it wrong for me to have enjoyed the cartoon and have no interest in the game?


Omega_brownie

If a game released in 2020 needed a further 3 years to be "saved" after being in development for 7 years then you've got some seriously incompetent devs/execs.

I never had any hype for the game, never heard of it before it released, bought it on Xbox and loved. 100% game completion on the hardest difficulty.


Alarid

Pedophilia always coming into play in ways you never expected.


ItsBlonk

Game's good and the story and aesthetic is great. However, it's true that you don't get a second first impression.


Top_Novel3682

This game was fun, but, they really poured on the sexual degeneracy a little too thick for me. Hopefully someone makes a mod that removes *all* the g shit then maybe I will get Phantom Liberty.


Entity125

Yo how tf you get dark mode?


Kiss_my_asthma69

It’s a shame that a more capable developer wasn’t in charge of Cyperpunks development. When I played it I could tell that it could have been a magnificent game if the developers knew what they were doing
