I'll give this a go

You'd think everyone would have played it by this point.

Pretty much skipped after the dog shit release still not bothered. It's a tech demo at best.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Best game of the generation so far. And it's practically a brand new game after the last patch + expansion.

 

[justiceiro]

Lmao, literally when I will travel for Easter.

 

[fart town usa]

Nice. Just enough time for people to see that the game remains a complete mess

You're working with outdated information. Still crappy how they released it, but it's a good game not quite like anything else out there.

If by tech demo you mean a demo for how immersive first person RPG stories can be told, I agree.

 

[gaming_again]

Makes me hope they'll put out sone more DLC.
with Phantom Liberty this game can stand proudly with Witcher 3.

Maybe you should play it before making such assumptions

Ignoring the bugs at release, the game content was ok. Now its pretty amazing.

 

[SuperBabyMethod]

Been always wanting to try it because I love cyberpunk games but the initial release really made me sour toward it, and I've read that the open world, while pretty, is empty with nothing really to do. Has there been changes or is this still the case?

The aren't mini games or anything like that but the crowds can be pretty dynamic. I dunno, it depends what you want. The detail astonishes me. I can spend 10 mins zooming in on magazine covers and watching ad billboards change.

Pc?

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

First 4 - 5 hours is the best part of the game. They know what they're doing. Very anti consumer though.

Yeah so anti-consumer. They should just demo the final mission and call it quits.

It wouldn't be as effective. The first 4 - 5 hours is where the budget went.

 

[RoboFu]

You can beat it in 5 hours if you know what you are doing.

Nah, it's a great game.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Just buy the fucking game already.

 

[Gaiff]

Spoiler

joking if it wasn't obvious.

 

[violence]

I'm glad they finally got the game out of beta.

And that's not a knock. It's a good game now.

Every time I've looked into buying the game there's some reason not to.
At launch it was shit on consoles, which was a dealbreaker
But they promised to eventually release a big next gen update, so it made sense to wait for that
Once we got that, they kept improving and adding stuff with the updates: You read headlines like "the upcoming patch will fix and/or improve this and that and completely revamp several mechanics",so it made sense to wait for that
Then the DLC was coming and it was going to be in the middle of the game so it made sense to wait for that and play it as a sort of "complete" seamless experience.
Then there was that big upcoming 2.1 update which was reportedly going to be the last major update, so it made sense to wait for that.

At this point I've waited so long I'm just going to wait for a solid sale of the base game + DLC.

You must be so fun at parties.

The backbone of the story is your relationship with Johnny and how it evolves over the course of the game. The backbone of the gameplay is developing your own combat loop by specialising in a particular set of skills and Cyberware. None of these things are covered in the first 4-5 hours.

Especially when it was 10 bux.

The money is in the front end. They know what they're doing.

 

[FinalBossWithTheMostPower]

It's $29.99...try it...

Strong opinion for someone who hasn't played it. Legit one of the best games of the gen. Just not last gen.

Top __ FPS Game

10? 5? 3?!!?

 

[MCasey]

Played this for the first time after the 2.0 release and the game is incredible. Played on PS5. It's tough for me to stay with a game till completion and with this I just kept wanting more. Purchasing Phantom Liberty now.

 

[FinalBossWithTheMostPower]

I can't tell if some of these posts are joke replies or what, but Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the top 5 best games ever made.

Enjoy. PL was such a pleasant surprise. Cyberpunk easily being a top 5 for me this generation.

Interactivity in the open world is non existent. The world is pretty dead in general as there is no reactivity or mini-games or pretty much anything. NPC reactions are quite a bit worse vs say GTA V on Xbox 360 or PS3. There are now police chases and vehicular combat so there is that.

It's such a shame that CDPR built such a great Cyberpunk city in Nightcity with jack shit to do there. I was hoping that a sequel would correct it Yakuza series style (iterating on the same locale) since they already had the basis done, but that's out of the window with the engine change to Unreal 5.

All that said, Cyberpunk is a pretty great Action Adventure RPG Lite. It has a pretty darn good story (can be a bit disjointed due to Open World though), interesting set of characters, amazing locales and graphics, good combat and more.

So while (IMO) it's a failure as far as RPGs go, it's a definite success (after patches and expansion) at action adventure genre. Think of it more in the vein of Watch Dogs or AC Odyssey but better and you will enjoy it.

 

[RPS37]

I still don't even think I've played five hours and I got it day one.

Wife didn't beat ya last night or what happened?

Yes, attracting more people to a game that now has a Steam rating of 92% among recent players.

 

[Unrivaledx88]

Bought this game a couple months ago on a sale , game is meh, skill tree is boring.

Need another Witcher game
