Bugs aside, is Cyberpunk 2077 actually a good game?

CD Projekt Red is clearly an excellent storyteller, that much is indisputable - Game Invader's Martyn just wishes as much care and attention had gone into the gameplay as has clearly gone into the narrative. He'll soldier on through, and will see where the developer's roadmap of updates takes us into the future.

Glad you're enjoying it, sir/madam!!

phoenixwing1253d ago (Edited 1253d ago )

I'm just lucky I had a bit of money and bought a decent pc. Also I will add cdpr gog store app glitched to the point I had to download it from steam so I paid twice for the game on pc. I'm enjoying it though but if I didn't have money for a second copy I'd be complaining in every article. I also will no longer buy games from gog

NintendoInvader1252d ago (Edited 1252d ago )

Damn, that's rough! No way of getting a refund?

In an ideal world I'd be playing on PC but I'm waiting for the new graphics cards.

phoenixwing1252d ago

I hope you get the graphics card you want to buy soon. I have a 2070 super and it's good enough for me

Aeery1252d ago

Bugs aside (tbh i didn't have too many problems so far), this game is basically The Witcher on steroids. So, yeah, this game is one of the best ever.

Army_of_Darkness1252d ago

Personally for me, gameplay and potential bugs and glitches go hand-in-hand because how can I enjoy the gameplay if I have these ridiculous bugs distracting me from fully enjoying and immersing myself into the game? So if there is a lot of game-breaking glitches then I would not consider it a good game

I gotta admit I’m only maybe 1 hour in on the street kid story but I’m not all that impressed so far. I’m on PC and running 1440p @60fps everything set to ultra including all rtx features. If I set it to psycho it drops to about 30fps. Not quite sure what all the fuss was about with it being a system killer. I run it on an i5 2070 super, both overclocked of course. I’m not as blown away by the graphics as I thought I was going to be. NPC’s are just stupid and their animation sucks. It also crashes quite regularly. So far in fact I think I was more impressed by RAGE. Gameplay-wise It all seems a bit shallow so far.

It’s a strange one so far. I hope my opinion changes soon. It will certainly get better through patches from CDPR but people reviewing it as 10/10 in its current form are a complete joke and shouldn’t be trusted!

phoenixwing1251d ago (Edited 1251d ago )

difference of opinion is fine, i never said it should be rated 10/10 (the bugs should bring the score down at least a couple points just to be fair to all the games they blasted when they had bugs). I actually like it though I played street kid and enjoyed it. I'm surprised you run it at ultra including rtx, I don't have a an overclocked 2070 super though mine is just at regular levels. I can't overclock my cpu either i have the f series of intel chip. Not even sure if I'd go through the trouble of overclocking (or even if the gpu brand can be overclocked), would rather my card lasted longer. I also have not crashed during gameplay whatsoever and only encountered real minor bugs.

1nsomniac1251d ago (Edited 1251d ago )

I think you’re more worried about overclocking than you should be. They’re designed to be. Every card can do it and it can be as simple as pressing one button on your software in some cases. It’s not going to have any real effect on the longevity of the card as long as your not stupid with it. I overclocked my 2070 Super the moment I installed it in my rig. It’s never been run at standard clocks since I got it. Runs at clocks 2040mhz and I think it’s 12000mhz mem. Or at least it did, the newest drivers seem to knock the clocks down fairly quickly to about 1990ish thanks to the 3000 series problems. Which I’m not happy about, why should my card suffer because of the poor quality issues of a different series of cards!

1nsomniac1251d ago

Ok I take it back. I seemed to have some sort of bug that wasn’t loading in full post processing properly in the environment and ray tracing wasn’t working fully either. It reloaded it all back in when I set the graphics back to psycho mode. So I’ve just left it at that. Amazingly it seems to be running a little better too. It does look pretty amazing and I am enjoying it a bit more. I’ve had to switch to a game pad. Driving with keyboard was terrible.

I would say my experience with it so far is yes, it is a good game. I don’t know if I would make it a 10/10 though.

nowitzki20041252d ago (Edited 1252d ago )

I agree. This is a good game, but its more of a 8/10. Its hard for any dev to match Witcher 3 quality including CDPR.

I am excited that they have a world now, work on it and hopefully their next game in this universe will be much better.

ikarodemon1252d ago

For a Elder Scrolls fan like me this game is a dream that come true. 10/10 with bugs.

VenomUK1252d ago

@ikarodemon Hi, I'm a big Elder Scrolls fan too eager to see how RPGs will develop. What is it you are enjoying most, the immersion in the world, complex missions, something else?

mkis0071252d ago (Edited 1252d ago )

ok so what is the score without bugs... You have given less than perfect a perfect score with nothing to aspire to.

there is no 11/10 score, just to be clear.

Ilovetheps51252d ago

I think he's joking because of how bug ridden elder scrolls/bethesda games are.

Shiken1252d ago (Edited 1252d ago )

Yeah I am loving it. I just feel lucky that I was able to get a Series X, otherwise I would have gotten it for PS4 Pro with no knowledge of the performance issues till it was too late.

Playing on quality mode and having a blast, but I feel like this should have been gen 9 console exclusive. It is advertised as a gen 8 game, but is a mess on those platforms. I would urge anyone to till they have a Series X/S or PS5 to play this game, because the gen 8 consoles don't do it justice.

Gaming4Life19811252d ago

I got it on my xbox one x and its great so far, cant wait til i get my series x and play it fully upgraded for next gen.

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.

DustMan3d 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.

Vits15d ago (Edited 15d 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.

darthv7215d 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.

Kaii15d ago

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

anast15d ago

Every game in the last 2 decades...

INMATEofARKHAM15d 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.

gunnerforlife14d 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.

S2Killinit14d ago

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

gunnerforlife14d 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

https://rebel-wolves.com/

just_looken27d 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.

GhostMirror27d 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.

EazyC27d 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_looken27d ago

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

Profchaos27d ago (Edited 27d 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.
