Cyberpunk 2077 review | EGM

EGM: "Cyberpunk 2077’s bugs and technical issues certainly hold it back, and with any luck those will be fixed in the coming months. But it’s more difficult to imagine CD Projekt Red doing enough to resolve the deeper problems: awkwardly balanced systems, storytelling misfires, and an inability to merge its open-world action and RPG gameplay into something smooth and cohesive."

anast1238d ago

I like the story telling. That AI, though. lol

Hikoran1238d ago

"With any luck"... Luck isn't involved, it's the tireless work of the devs that make these mistakenly chosen managers, a ton of money.

Cobra9511238d ago

New Nvidia GPUs can't be found for months. Cyberpunk won't be worth playing for months. Works for me.

Cueil1238d ago

by the time you can just buy a 3080 the 4000 series will be out

Vx_1238d ago

GPU won't magically fix the dumb Ai, physics, balancing, driving, and combat mechanics.

Grayson0761238d ago

I'm playing at 60fps with a 1080ti with almost everything at ultra at 1080p. I'm so tired of people saying you need a 30 series card to play this game in an enjoyable manner. You don't.

yoshatabi1238d ago

@grayson You do realize not everyone wants to play in 1080p right? Also this is the kind of game people want to play with great graphical settings

Dirty_Lemons1238d ago

I love the city, the atmosphere, everything that they are trying to do. It's how it's implemented that I find hard to get over.

They earned my loyalty with the quality of the Witcher series and the free DLC and QOL improvements that they released for it, but even on PS5 I'm now seeing crashes every few hours (if I'm lucky) and I still walk into the room where Julie is because it's glitched on a main mission.

In time I think it'll be awesome, I'll put it on the back burner (what's a few more months after all these years) but I completely understand anyone who thinks "nah, I'm done".

DarthSocio1238d ago

So the problems are beyond the bugs? Genuinely thought wed get a long immersive storyline. Turns out the rot is everywhere

Cueil1238d ago

I'm not sure wtf this reviewer is smoking, but everyone that I trust says the story is awesome.

RgR1238d ago

Same here.

There's a certain side note that many are ignoring.

This game was under fire for certain controversies. Those same people are reviewing this game and probably having a ball with it.

All I've heard is that the story is amazing. Maybe there's not enough lgbtq stuff for some journos.

njitram20001238d ago

The main story is absolutely awesome! It's the rest of it that is lacking. And it's actually pretty long. But the side quests are very meh with a few short exceptions (unlike The Witcher 3). I say this with about 40 hours of playtime.

Cyberpunk 2077 Director On 95% Positive Steam Rating: "Never Thought I'd See It"

Cyberpunk 2077 has come a long way from being one of the worst games on the planet to being one of the best ones.

DustMan13d ago

I shelved it after a few hours in game at launch, glad I didn't refund it. One of the few games I've actually completed in the last year, and after finishing the campaigns I wanted to just jump back in from the start. They pulled a No Mans Sky and finished one of the best FPS in the last few years.

Games That Were Bad on Release, But Are Now Great

BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.

Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."

Good list..hoped to see Street Fighter 5 there..and it is.

Vits25d ago (Edited 25d ago )

Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.

darthv7225d ago

Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.

I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.

Kaii25d ago

They consider FO 76 & ME Andromeda to be great now 🤭

anast25d ago

Every game in the last 2 decades...

INMATEofARKHAM25d ago

It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.

gunnerforlife24d ago

Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.

S2Killinit24d ago

That game was just plain good game. It didnt improve, it was just good.

gunnerforlife24d ago

I don't know, I got it abit late, and struggled for a few days, and then all of a sudden it just got good!!

Well they are using unreal engine now thanks to there work culture and horrific job on making cyberpunk so for the future no impact.

But it will be interesting to see what mods will be made

just_looken37d ago

7 disagrees shows how many look at one dlc that had a rip off fight from ghost in the shell and goes wow what a goat team i love cdpr while ignoring that they only made 2 games that were good witcher 2/3 in 20yrs.

But its a new world we want a criminal that support's legal murder as president/support shoplifting love toxic work environments and have a mass casualty event every other day.

GhostMirror37d ago

I’ll admit I didn’t play it at launch, but Cyberpunk 2077 is a really good game now.

And who the hell knows what you’re even going on about in your second paragraph here.

EazyC37d ago

Wait a min...I swear to god CP2077's source code got leaked before. CDPR needs to stop using "password123" for all their accounts 😅

just_looken37d ago

Na its hundreds ex employees no doubt just getting there revenge.

Profchaos36d ago (Edited 36d ago )

This is the same leak the threat actors have been trying to sell the source code after cd project didn't pay the ransom.

They didn't manage to sell the source code to any company largely because it would be unethical for say EA to buy it so the threat actors failed to find a buyer.

After they failed to make any money they went through with their threat of simply giving it away.
