    Take your time, those who buy without reviews have got it already, those who only buy after the reviews won't even look at Metacritic for a couple of weeks and enough come in.

    There is a reddit that comments badly on cyberpunk for the images of the woman with a large member as a poster that appears in the game and gives bad votes for reasons like that.

    In general, most of the players who have been playing for years we only see a trailer to see if it catches our attention and if we have doubts we wait for a gameplay then we see on some pages that it does not have a bug or p2w and it is enough information to buy a game. If I don't like it, I just don't buy it and that's it.

    Now people who have never played or played a few games and think that they may have an opinion formed by a game, only jump on the trending to give their opinion about their sexual orientation or something that offends them and gives a bad opinion or votes to the game.

    good story, no bug, no p2w, good gameplay: good game. it does not represent my sexuality, there are photos of women, a transsexual appears and I take it as an insult, they kill someone of any color, there are not enough women: bad game.

    If my English is not very good, sorry.

    TBH, I'm more looking forward to your graphics option tweaks article than a review. You've done a very good job with your articles about other games' graphics options - looking forward to that.

    As to reviews... take your time. I'm pre-loaded and ready to go. I'll look at reviews (after I've played it some myself) just out of interest but I won't be swayed one way or the other by them.

    Seeing the myriad of issues and bugs plagueing this game, maybe they should have.

    I am holding out into buying this game for while, until most of it has finally been patched.

    I know for sure CDProjektRed can be trusted to fix most of the problems over time, but I am just tired buying a new retail game at full price and feel like I have to beta test for them (this is general, not just towards CDProjektRed)! It just ruins your whole experience as it often takes quite a long time before most of the bugs are ironed out and patched.

    I have plenty of other games to play, so I am in no hurry buying this game.

    My guess is that it's a "your mileage may vary" thing. you know "you."

    From what I'm reading, other than the bugs, I think the experience will be amazing. But part of how I'm put together responds to visuals, to sound, to "the experience."

    I tend to be patient with bugs so as long as I don't run into any brick walls, I'll be fine.

    But again, "you know 'you'."

    Look on metacritic, ignore the score (though Iselin says it's good so "good!") and just read what people are saying and see what resonates with you, what you think is either complaining for the sake of complaining or praising for the same reasons. But like Iselin, I'm "loaded and ready to go!"

    I'll wait to buy to read what more players say.  The bugs have me thinking wait... at a minimum... for some patches.  As to not ruin/distract my gameplay experience.

    And again, the 30-40 hours playthrough is a single playthrough.  This game is supposed to offer real significant choices (classes and decisions) that affect the entire storyline throughout and final outcome.

    "Cyberpunk 2077 throws you into a beautiful, dense cityscape and offers a staggering amount of flexibility in how you choose to take it from there"



    "Unfortunately, the amount of bugs I’ve experienced really does need to be mentioned. I’ve only been able to play Cyberpunk 2077 on a PC with a GeForce RTX 3080 GPU, and as of writing this I have yet to lay hands on either the PlayStation or Xbox versions, but the issues I’ve encountered were extremely frequent and distracting. Performance on Ultra settings at 1080p with ray tracing off was largely okay for me, as you’d hope would be the absolute bare minimum on a brand-new and still-hard-to-get graphics card, generally only noticeably dropping in framerate while driving around busy areas or in certain weather conditions – but it was the routinely messed up animations, missing models, and glitchy dialogue that really got to me.
    A day-one patch will arrive after the time of this review, but CDPR has indicated it will focus on stability and performance – which is always good, but frankly those aren’t the issues that’ve been bothering me the most.

The side quests and the characters they showcase are the shining beacon through the neon-soaked bleakness of Night City, and they give you room to explore the best the core RPG mechanics have to offer.

    Did Gamespot and Venture beat just complain about the world feeling too alive? A single player game such as this would have to rely on this type of exaggerated filler to make the world seem like a living world in a sense to the one actual player in it. Just my opinion.

    Based on 7 or so reviews I have read that have said sort of the same thing in seems they are more a bit disappointed by the lack of interactivity in the world.
    A sort of shattering of the illusion sort of thing. 
    It is a more 'it looks cool but serves no function' sort of thing.
    Style over substance. 
    Plus the first 10 hours or so being pretty linear I think probably hurts it a bit for some reviewers. 
    I will not know personally as I will not be playing the game but I am looking forward to certain friends of mine who's opinions I value to let me know what design decisions were made they like so we can learn from them =) 
     

    Maybe it's like Bioware games. They are good at creating "theater sets" but once you really look, that's about it.

    I won't know until tomorrow but I suspect part of it is just "scope." There's probably so much put into making the world that it would have taken a LOT more time to add more interactivity.

    Again, sort of like Bioware ...

    I remember playing Balder's Gate for the first time and when I finally got into the great city of "Balder's Gate, I realized most of the doors were not passable and other than copying a few of the shops, the entire city was made for show.

    If I had to follow every review on every game, I wouldn't have played most of the games in my life - some really great. Even this site can be given as an example with many "wrong verdicts, for many games". I pity those that are driven by "reviews".

    Not to mention sites like IGN and Gamespot... I'd rather listen to some random dude verdict, than trusting those 2. You live in 2020 where the ppl feels offended just by looking them. One wrong move in Cyberpunk (or something that isn't appealing to the person) and the game is already 7/10.

    Don't trust anyone, unless you've seen/experienced with your own eyes. This game is not to be taken lightly, and most of the ppl will skip a lot of stuff in order to hurry up with the reviews so there's that.

    A true review for this game will be at least a week long in order to be accurate, not playing for 2 days and yet somehow ppl believe in that.

    A lot of them are still butt hurt about the trans "controversy". Kotaku's first 5 paragraphs or so talks nothing but the game not having enough trans and non binary options in the character creator.

    "it is not a guarantee nor an expectation for media to always receive review code." You wouldn't know this by listening to some of your colleagues. The entitlement is real among "games journalists" AKA glorified bloggers. Also, there will apparently will be a large day one patch that is supposed to address some the technical issues reviewers had with their review copies.

    No it won't- you can finish the game in a couple of days.

    The game is short and apparently full of bugs. 

    They should have delayed again but were too greedy for Xmas sales

    This does not bode well for CDPR

    This will way underperform compared to Witcher 3, the expectations for them were way bigger than W3

    I mean they pushed for a release in 2020 - everyone knows nothing good happened in 2020.

    Should have launched in 2021 - but again Xmas sales greed > product quality

    Et tu, Project Red?

    What's next from Project Red... kickstarter game with $10,000+ pack tiers and a cash shop?

    A 15-20 hour main quest, terrible AI, a world that is flashy but has no substance, bad combat mechanics and more bugs then you can imagine and CDPR is so embarrassed by how bad it is that they won't allow any in game footage of the review playthroughs.

    That's pretty much what I'm getting from the reviews..  I canceled my pre order and will wait to see what people say about the big day 1 patch but this may have just fallen off my radar completely.

    To tell you the truth, if it's anything like (semi)old Bioware, then hell yeah I'm so on board it's unbelievable. And I don't care if I've got 10-20 hours of on rails gameplay. If I've got a decent amount of sci fi hours in an open world game, I'm pretty much completely on board.
    A lot of people say linear or even new Bioware(or whatever) are bad but in this day and age, for *** sake find me something anywhere in their realm and I'll play it. Yes I'll be mad at sub par, and sure they may need to pick their skills up but the 2015+ crowd in games is definately the B team, if not the C team. Gimme ANYTHING THAT I CAN PLAY.

    I'm pretty sure many of the first reviews coming from the big outlets can (and should) be pretty much ignored, given their anti-CDPR / CP2077 campaign that has been going on for what seems like years now. Sites like IGN, Kotaku, Polygon are close to garbage at the best of times - when they add their own agenda and try to dictate how the devs should design their games, it's a mess not worth my time.

    I will rather wait for proper reviews days or weeks after the launch, where I know that the reviewer had time to pick the whole game apart and examine every element. I will give more attention to those reviewers who I know did a good job in the past and where I know my experience was similar.

    Just looking at the following non-spoiler review I am getting the complete opposite of what you got from the reviews:



    Btw, W3 was also totally riddled with bugs when it released (after several delays), you can still find entire videos made of nothing but bugs and glitches in the early W3 days. It took CDPR months to fix them. But they did fix them. And they did work for months on fixing them (unlike other companies, like Bioware or Bethesda). I expect no less for CP2077.

    Also: how is not allowing playthrough videos and spoilers before the game actually releases a problem? Of course CDPR will not allow playthrough videos before the people actually have a chance to, you know, play through the game.
