this game is so jank lol

[Snaxxor]

It's also too linear, it's like GTA or Saint's Row but with none of the extra stuff that made those games fun, just mission to mission constantly idk what this game wants to be either (RPG? gta clone? it doesn't do either well). There is a lot of bugs, collision bugs are the most common I have encountered, npcs just disappearing immediately after exiting cars or still in view (jackie drives off then disintegrates from reality not even a sec after driving). I chose street kid and everyone was t-posing in the first cutscene. 10 npcs of the same model walking in the streets at a time. I can see why they chose Keanu Reeves because it really feels like I'm living in the matrix lmao.

Though even if the game was super polished, I don't really like V's character or the options in dialogue. I know V is supposed to be this super ultra cool punk bro/chick but sometimes the options in dialogue have mass effect syndrome of an option sounding nice or neutral and then V says it super passive aggressively like an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. I think that's a symptom of not having enough dialogue options too, because the option to be the stereotypical punk is appreciated but if I say "You deserve a medal" V shouldn't say "Yea and you want a medal too loser? hah got'em". Idk curious to see what other people think about this.

Since you did not post your rig's specs my post might be off base but:

it sounds like either your graphic settings might be too high for what your rig can deliver. try lowering your graphic settings. ( you mentioned t-posing )

are your video card drivers up to date ?

did you install the game on a SSD ? lots of people say they get better performance from installation on a SSD.

The game is jank on low hardware because the game is jank on good hardware too because the game is jank. But with a slow comp it get's those tpose in the cutscene and with a faster computer you don't but the jank is right there for everyone to see if they want to and that's why people get that tpose. It's right there everywhere in the whole world just jank. And not bugs but like a person tries to make the statue of david out of clay and the lump of crap they end up with is the thing they meant to make. And then they go yeah but um, some of it is good.

Yes, the game is jank, no matter what PC you have. Back in 2020 I bought a brand new, top of the line PC to run Cyberpunk with no worries for technical issues.

My rig:
AMD 5800x
RTX 3080
16GB DDR 4 3500MHz
Mobo Gigabyte Aorus Master X570

At the time of Cyberpunk release it was truly the best PC I could buy. I even managed to get RTX3080 before the prices went berserk! I know how to maintain my PC in good technical shape, I've been doing it for 15 years plus. Bugs, glitches, issues and overall jank is not the hardware fault. It's not drivers fault. It's the game's fault.

sounds like you need new pc it runs super smooth for me havnt seen many bugs at all

If that is what you consider 'top of the line' then buddy, I got some bad news for you.

Then you're not even looking lol.

I played yesterday for the first time in ages. Doing that mission where you have to meet someone between 6pm and 6am at a club? I got there a bit early, parked and waited. As soon as it turned 6pm 3 cars fell from the sky on top of mine.

As I was waiting I thought I'd take in the sights and sounds. Well that was buggy too. A man holding a woman who is being sick? Only sometimes she disappears, but he's still doing the animation of holding her up. Before that I simply drove my car down a street and everyone was acting like I was trying to run them over when I was driving like I had Miss Daisy in the back.

This is just what I've noticed in about an hour of gametime.

I dunno, me and my friend played it on a 2017 PCs. Game worked fine, ran it well. There were bugs and glitches (but tbh, same as the witcher back in the day). Finished the game 3x, enjoyed it, probably best futuristic rpg played to date. Hope expansion is as good as witcher dlc's, that about it.

no where on any other game would someone say it's jank and then someone responds "nuh uh not for me must be ur pc"

Then what, it's somehow perfectly fine that a game is demanding $60 bucks and a 'top of the line pc' just to run a janky buggy mess? wtf kind of cope is this lmao.

I already said it was top of the line in 2020. Unless you consider 3090 a good graphics card for the money. If so, then I have bad news for you. :D
I forgot to mention that I have only SSD drives in this PC.
My point still stands: having the most flagship PC I could build at the time, non of the issues of Cyberpunk was caused by my system. Not a single one.

I've seen T-posing twice, ever, in the game, and the second time ONLY in that cut scene. A problem that was introduced after a patch, sadly. It's crashed on me once, ever. I think the trouble with Cyberpunk is it behaves wildly differently on different machines, sometimes for no obvious reason. They clearly had problems trying to get the engine to do everything it wanted to do and do it consistently (which is, presumably, why they're moving to Unreal for future games).

It's not a GTA clone and I don't think it was ever meant to be. It follows the Witcher 3 template of story first.

Personally, I think the storytelling is exceptional, but that's going to depend on taste and your appetite for exploring, reading the lore and being receptive to the atmosphere the game generates. Essentially all the narrative content, plus the design of the world itself, adds colour to the central narrative themes. It's like a grand novel, but as a computer game. I find that super impressive, and something I've never seen a game even attempt before.

If anything, I think the game could have done with making it clearer from the outset that that is what it's doing, because too often it seems to get mistaken for a dumb action game. That is not what the game is trying to be.

I think they would have done well to gate act 1 so you can't just storm through the main quest, and to change some small bits of dialogue to stop players who are less familiar with the open world RPG conceit of "the world is going to end in minutes but spending three days picking flowers and helping a three-legged dog get back home is fine" from assuming that completing the main quest at light speed is how the game should be played. Plainly, it isn't, and it's no surprise that players who play the game that way aren't impressed.
