It’s not perfect in many areas but it’s fantastic in many - soundtrack, writing, characters, the density and design of the world, voice acting, visuals etc
I found the moment to moment gameplay a blast. Miles better than the likes of RDR2 or GTA which are extremely linear and generic point and shoot affairs. Here the guns feel satisfying and offer a lot of variety - tech, smart, ricochet, cyberware, blades, knives etc
You wouldn’t notice it by this place but the game has seen a big resurgence and has garnered a pretty decent fanbase now. It’ll only increase when FL comes around.
Lies!
The launch was an unmitigated disaster and the game that released was nothing like expected, this we all know. That clearly impacted the view on the game (rightly so really) but I still think at its core it’s far more fleshed out than the vast majority of other games I’ve played in the last few years. I know I’ve used this comparison before but Ghost of Tsushima which is raved about was such a bland world with a painfully boring story. Cyberpunk’s writing puts it to shame. Hell even take a game like Spider-Man which I loved and platinumed. It was really well done and well polished but hardly a complex game. Ultimately Cyberpunk probably tried to do too much, reached too high and promised the world which meant its launch was a disaster, but fundamentally what they built is really impressive and an underrated gaming experience. Post patches I’d expect that this would be one of the best games around.
Couldn’t agree more. The combat is brilliant, not really sure what the issue is there! The AI left abit to be desired but hell my favourite game is Skyrim so I don’t really care!
Maybe it has changed since launched? Or maybe it’s just my jam - because whether it was my first playthrough charging up tech rifles though walls and taking everyone out around cover using smart pistols, being a hacker katana ninja in my second or my third experimenting with shotguns and fists, I enjoyed it all. So much so that I made it a point to complete every scanner mission. Things like double jump / hover and switching between the mantis / mono wire just gives you so much freedom which I really enjoyed.
To be honest you should hold out till September. It will look incredible on your PC plus you’d get all the new features and changes that come with the DLC.
Yep September 26th. My brother has a gaming PC and he says with this overdrive (even without really) mode it just looks ridiculous. The world is so detailed it will be a real treat for you.

That's my thing. The game is actually pretty cool when it comes to the mechanics especially. It feels expansive on that end. Graphics are great but like everything else in the game it becomes repetitive quickly, and as you said: feels lifeless. Once you veer off the main quest path there just isn't much to keep me hooked. Some of that may be because cyberpunk isn't quite my thing, because I also could never really get into the Deus Ex games. And those were highly rated.
Noice. Will well outlast this generation into the next, and think of how many sandwiches that will handle in Starfield!
What I've waited years for to actually play the rest of the game
Bad luck for Starfield
This 2.0 update looks like it might be the perfect time to get into it, though. Or perhaps I'll give it a couple of patch cycles because with this game's history, you never know.I still haven't played this game, despite building a pc for it back in early 2020 just before it got delayed.
Sure but I mean the 2.0 update might introduce a bunch of new bugs and issues, considering how substantial an update it appears to be. It's reported to include a fundamental reworking of several game systems, so yeah.
It is said to completely overhaul, among others, the skills system and "police and combat AI", so it looks promising on paper. We'll have to wait and see how substantial those improvements really are.
