Figured they'd take care of it fast.

Still playing, still having a great time. I don't know if it entirely deserves it, but it's definitely my game of the year. Nothing else I've played has absorbed me this deeply and made me want to go back to its fiction and environment so often. CDPR are good at worldbuilding. I felt similarly about the Witcher, especially after 3. I invested in the collector's edition of the guidebook (because the Witcher 3 guides now go for three to five times what they were sold for initially), and it's actually really nice, got some great lore and art stuff in there. Also got the ... forget what it's called, World of Cyberpunk, or something like that. Dark Horse art/lore book. That's great as well. Snagged it really cheap with an ebay coupon, so that's been fun to check out too. Not often game worlds make me want to dive in this deep, and while there's only so much lore to be had (there's some repetition of larger concepts), it's just fun and different from most of the stuff on the market in terms of flavor. And since I'm enjoying the game's story and characters so much, it's nice to kind of get to more concretely fill in the gaps. Most of that stuff can be found in-game, so you don't really need a lore book, but the art that accompanies it is nice, and there's some different stuff between the guide and the art book in some of the details.

Forbes - Patch 1.23 improves PS4 version's performance, but at the expensive of losing lots of pedestrians & traffic:

I bought this, this past Monday for $18 for PC version from Gamestop of all freakin' places.

I'm probably some 10 hours into this or so - and I do have some thoughts on those, so....expect me to do my usual 1st Impressions, soon enough.

So, I'm some 10 hours in or so. Some thoughts incoming, so far and all.

It's pretty good overall so far.

Combat with the actual gunplay & feeling of it is actually better than I expected, even though the AI doesn't seem spectacular and all. The thing with the combat is: enemies often feel a bit bullet-spongy and it feels like its tactics ain't always the most interesting. Often feels like they just bum-rush you or are just straight-up shooting at you. This kind of reminds me a bit of RPG/FPS hybrids & mixes from before Mass Effect 2 (ME2 streamlined so much for shooter/RPG hybrids), but CP 2077's combat feels more visceral and much better than games like say Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines (i.e. my favorite game of all time, for a million other reasons).

Though, its story is disappointing me; and I'm not really sure if there's that much choice here in its main & side missions, when compared to their previous games. The story just doesn't have say the amount of detail to the story, plot, characters that I'd expect from this company that made Witcher 1, 2, and 3. Though, there's tons of Lore everywhere - so read that stuff and you'll get immersed even more so into this game & its actual game-world.

Questing is...not as interesting as expected, given CDPR's past games (i.e. Witcher series). The main missions and stuff is good & often feels unique with its missions & heist-like stuff compared to what I've seen so far in the rest of the game, even if there probably ain't tons of choice here - but I still ain't had that many Witcher-style moral choice type of stuff, which is what I'd normally expect from CDPR. A lot of it seems to be "Go after this person", "find this person", "stop this group in this area", "get this (or these) item(s)" and other MMO-like or ARPG type of missions, in the side stuff. I'm going to keep looking around and digging for quests, hoping there's some with choice and/or some of this stuff might matter in some way and funnel itself into the main story & questline. I'll have to wait and see.

If anything - this game's drop-dead freakin' gorgeous. One of the better looking titles out there - along with Shadow of the Tomb Raider (that's good, but not as good as Rise of the TR) and say Control: Ultimate (play that game ASAP; it's awesome & also drop-dead gorgeous with RTX On).

On my desktop RTX 3070 at 1080p, all maxed-out, I can get it at 50fps and up, depending on if I'm indoors or outdoors; and where I'm at (some areas can be demanding). Cyberpunk 2077 is truly something to behold, especially if you turn on RTX and DLSS. And trust me, you'll need DLSS on to get more performance out of it. It certainly does look great though, to say the very least, IMHO. Love the look of this cyberpunk and sci-fi world and its character, loaded with lots of graphical details everywhere.

There's a ton of loot to pick-up in the game-world & from enemies, so do expect to be selling lots of equipment, breaking it down for parts, breaking loot down to keep your weight down so you can actually still move around, and any of your typical ARPG loot-crazy type of stuff that you'd see in games like Diablo games, Sacred games (not Sacred 3 though), Titan Quest, HG: London, and games of that sort. You can also craft loot, but...I haven't really tried or focused on that. I was surprised at how much loot and what you can do w/ it here.

Also, this game literally has an UbiSoft-like map with tons of icons for missions, side jobs, things to find, and things to do. It literally feels like this game is a cross b/t a GTA game (open-world action game with vehicles that you can drive to get yourself places around the game world); a Deus Ex game (immersive-sim style game with Lore & world-building stuff everywhere and also you can go into areas and missions with a guns-blazing approach, stealth approach, hacking approach, and/or mix those however you want); and an UbiSoft game (like games from these franchises: Watch Dogs & Far Cry).

I'm liking this quite a bit so far and do need to get back to this game.

So, there you go; there's my thoughts so far on Cyberpunk 2077.

Myster D, is this game at a finished stage now? Or should I wait more before buying it?

I played it on PS5 a while ago and it was fine.  I enjoyed the game quite a bit and experienced only a few bugs (game crashed like maybe twice over 70 hours or so). There were areas where you could tell features were stripped or pulled out but it was a fully playable and enjoyable experience, if that helps.

The main-story is complete, yes.

And also, the bugs, stability, and whatnot is much-much better than before - especially w/ the newest PC patch. No better time to jump in than now, especially if you have the hardware to run it.

Though, do note: Pacifica does NOT feel utilized that much and this part of the game feels like not much is there, especially compared to Night City itself. And likely, the expansions will be in Pacifica.

I spent like 50 hours or so with it - so yeah, it's easily worth the $18 or so that I spent on it.

Though, I do think RDR2 is a much-better and much more complete game.

I'm curious, too.  Might snag it on a sale if it's been "fixed"

I am loving it. I don't know what bugs were in the game before but it feels like a really memorable RPG so far.

Glad to hear you're enjoying it.

If you got the PC to handle it and/or can find settings you're happy with to get the performance you're cool with - yeah, it's really good.

Just...if you were hoping you'd get the Ultimate GTA game mixed with the Ultimate Deus Ex game - nope, this ain't that. So, for me....it was still disappointing b/c of that (i.e. the hype was through the moon), despite me thinking CP 2077 was still pretty good.

Deus Ex 1 GOTY is probably still the best genre-bender of RPG/FPS that there is out there.

And yes, I do prefer Deus Ex HR (Original version with TML or the DC version - they both have their own different issues, IMHO) over CP 2077 currently.

Deus Ex MD is a tougher sell...only b/c its story is still incomplete and really needs MD Part 2. So, MD is probably right along-side with CP 2077 for me: both are really good, but still have some issues that cause it to not live up to previous entries and/or other games in the genre.
