Cyberpunk 2077 is now a great game

[Xterminator]

I preordered cyberpunk, played it for about 15 hours on launch week, and was very disappointed, the city and atmosphere were fantastic, but the game was so buggy, so unfinished, it needed a serious coat and a half of paint. So I stopped playing.

After Edgerunners came out, I figured it's been 2 years and maybe its time to give it a second chance. The difference between cyberpunk today and cyberpunk on launch week is night and day, I ended up picking up from my 15 hour save and going to 100+ hours, near completing the entire game. The game is incredible now, its honestly one of the best single player games I've played in so many years.

If it launched like this, the entire narrative would be completely different, cyberpunk would have been a celebration of CD Projekt Red, not a tale of caution. Edgerunners was the second best thing they could have done for this franchise, the best thing would have been to finish the game before initially releasing it...

Always been for people with good hardware.
Had few bugs in the beginning. Only had to re-start the game and the bug was gone...

Considering I was playing with an RTX3080 on launch day, hardware wasn't exactly my problem.

If I were to describe my issues with launch cyberpunk, there would be a lot to go over, the main problems I had were a serious lack of physical ownership in night city (no apartments), the bugs, the AI being insanely stupid, things constantly glitching out and breaking my game play, the balance, the millions of little bugs and glitches, and the overall "feel" of combat. I don't know what is changed exactly, but the combat feels a thousand times better, the progression feels better, the core gameplay feels waay smoother, more rewarding, the NPCs feel better, everything just feels better.

On launch week I just got tired of the game in the state that it was, so I stopped playing and had no desire to play again. Until I came back in late 2022 and it was like a whole new experience.

Yes it was... It was new and it had some driver problems with RTX and DLSS.
They have fixed it now... So.. I understand.

That bothers me was that the released it to PS4 and sat the spec so low so everyone could buy their game on PC. They don't know that res. was set down to 720p.

CP2077 is a spectacular game; I even had to stop playing for a bit because I got so emotionally invested in V's fate after romancing Judy and had a bad feeling about how things would end up for everybody. Not many games since Mass Effect have had that kind of effect (no pun) on me!

is this game good ?

I heard a lot of bad things about this game but I saw "overwhelming positive" in the store.

[Goran]

One of the best stories I ever played. CD Project is known for their great story writers. Even the side missions are great and interesting. But be ready to accept a few glitches here and there. Nothing gamebreaking.

[Bonky]

I was the same, heard so many bad things. But I'm having a blast! No problems at all. Great game!

[DJ_BEATMASTER-78]

yeeeees

[Tanoomba]

Yes. The positive reviews are well-earned.

[Ogami]

Game was always very good, it was just plagued by bugs at release.
And even that was overblown if you played on PC and really only was a big problem on consoles.
I played for 100+ hours at release and i had like 3 crashes and 1 quest bug that needed a reload.
And that was the quote "unplayable" version.

[Heir of Aenarion]

Yea the game is very playable right now, still a few bugs here and there but i havent ever experienced anything game breaking in the last year at least. Most of the hate comments are just the typical hate monkeys that rage at everything lol

[Nanaki]

Considering how many people say controversial things just for the clickbait, surely the lesson to learn here is to not believe everything you hear?

[Mr_Blank]

Cyberpunks controversial because of its terrible release. Very buggy, and almost unplayable for most people. In its current state you can go through the entire game and witness very few bugs. The story’s good the combat is fun the driving has VASTLY improved since launch, the soundtrack of which there are like 3 or 4 different soundtracks are fantastic and the world even on the lowest graphics setting is gorgeous. Definitely worth your money and if it released in 2021 instead of 2020 with 90% less bugs it woulda been my game of the year (not saying it takes two didn’t deserve it that game still slaps)

The game is amazing. Once the DLC is out, sales of the DLC and and sales of the game itself will skyrocket.
