Too good reviews for Cyberpunk

[Killer]

I don't know why this game is so praised. I bought it (on GOG) many years after its release because I was counting on patches. The state of this game was probably even worse a few years ago.

And now what?

- 60 fps is average, but 1% lows 35 and 0.1% lows 28, so there is no fluidity, especially in fights (6600XT, Ryzen 5600, 16GB 4000Mhz RAM DUAL)
- in the story, characters walk through furniture, boxes, cabinets, walls, because the animation doesn't program them properly where to go (but they do); I found it really funny how Jackie the giant didn't fit too well next to the door so he splashed the cabinet with the papers when he went through it

- in training you still can't dodge normally and it doesn't count, at least not without using 2x directional

- sneaking is poor, hacking ... not giving me much now

- generally the hand to hand combat is dry as a bone, you don't feel the blows, it's just some pseudo-animation like crushing opponents with paper, not with something heavy

- ugly braindance

- AI is stupid. Jackie runs everywhere while i'm searching for items with NO ENEMIES nearby, he crouches and hides in room without enemies (maybe he can't scan?) and he is shooting through walls...

- lol even more: militech is standing in the middle of the road because of mission and other npcs are not stoping driving before crashing. and they stand still exiting the car in the air! LOL!

The game has a cool plot and voice acting, the driving model is also okay, maybe the sounds and music, but the game mechanics are shockingly wooden. I don't know how it will be after developing the character and when I see all the types of missions. For now, the game is tiring for me. I only listen to the dialogues with pleasure and let's say the graphics are ok.

Maybe if the FPS isn't good enough for you, don't play with all the settings at max? It's a graphically intensive game. One of the most intensive out there. Sneaking is awesome, quickhacking is OP as ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Not too surprising a game in a high tech world where most people use guns and tech attacks puts its lowest focus on melee.

60 fps is very good for 60Hz monitor which i have. You don't understand what i say about 0.1% lows and 1% lows. These are key metrics which affect the sense of fluidity, not the average. And regardless of whether I put it on the lowest settings and I have 120 fps average or high and I have about 75 on average. Lows are always about 30. Feels like shi**.

Why do you care? If you don't like it, then there are other games to play. I probably don't like some or even many of the games you enjoy, but I'm not going to be wondering about why you like them.

[hikigayaraiden]

hacking it fun though. Having OS tier 4++ which you can make enemies suicide. Use OS sandevistan before now OS hacking spec my favourite XD

The reviews are good, because these players like the game. If you do not like the game, write a bad review.

I'll give you the same advice. If you don't like my topic, then why care? Skip the topic.

I didn't say I didn't like your topic. I'm responding to your topic that different people like different games. If you truly want to understand why a lot of people like this game, then you can keep playing it. It's the story telling, the music, being immersed in some other world, role playing, exploring, developing a character, and many other reasons. If you still don't get it, then I doubt words can explain it to you.

And why do you care is a valid question. If you just want to understand why, then keep playing it. If you still can't understand why, then don't worry about it. Different people like different things.

Please keep it civil and on-topic, thank you. The current ratio of posts to deleted posts is unacceptably high and will result in a lock if it continues.

I don't think the gameplay is a 10/10. It's pretty jank. But there's some real love gone into the design of this experience as a whole.

reviews are quite often related to personal opinions...............what some people like and what some people don't like. No one game appeals to everybody. Write your review and move.


Have a good day.

Tbh i read this and just see nitpicks imo because i haven't had any of these issues my game runs perfect but i got a very good rig so that could be part of it, but the fact so many people have different experiences with the game depending on their hardware or their personal view on the graphics style i find it hard to care about this criticism. Plus especially that jackie one seems like a random thing that happens in yours i've never had that even once.

[セーラーマーズ]

Jackie is running around like that coz he’s trying to cover you. You’re making it hard for him xD

[de_flipkabouter]

Too much opinion sharing online...

[trevorbergershank]

For me, technical performance is the least of the games issues - the character creator is still awful, there is still virtually no gang/faction interaction whatsoever (outside of shooting them in the face), there are still hundreds of clothing items unavailable to the player, the vast majority of NPC cyberware still isn't accessible, you still can't play as anything other than Street Kid V, Life Paths are still virtually meaningless and the lack of full third person is still one of the worst design decisions in gaming history.

That being said, the improvement since release is huge. I gave it a 5/10 back then, but now its at least a solid 6/10.

If there are oodles more reviews to which you disagree, feel free to disagree as your wont, but the evidence suggests that you're the odd one out for the opinion, not the other way around.
