Exactly.

Those are responsive, complex worlds where the police have to track and intercept you, and it feels genuine. It's a mini map mini game of avoidance combined with disguising or blending.

With Cyberpunk, the game just determines 'good' action or 'bad' action and its world responds without nuance, and it feels dumb. There's no chasing, no intelligence - nothing. The police just warp in because you were 'bad.'

Games of all stripes and sizes new and old run better than Cyberpunk, and those games didn't even promise the moon like this game did. Most of those games in development far less than seven years.

They look better, run better, have more complex systems, and have better (or actual) AI. Cyberpunk is a poor game in many, many ways.

That sucks.

I haven't pledged to that area yet and I've yet to come across a quest bug that stops main mission progress. I did have a problem with a mystery though.

Ubi 'should' fix it soon.

This game is a little weird with assassinating. I've seen the R1 prompt to assassinate characters that I shouldn't be able to, because I need those characters to proceed.

Agreed.

Performs quite admirably on PS5.

It's dumb.

Everyone knows why one would request a refund here.

"Why 'I' did X"

You're not that important.

We know it's a crapshow; you didn't need to a write a personal article explaining yourself.

They're not sorry or they wouldn't have done it. They're sorry they have to face the music.

This is the most volatile, wonky, unstable mess of a game I've ever played. Every system in the game is susceptible to failure at any time, and the likelihood of failure is always high.

Totally undercooked, and completely oversold.

It's a technically disjointed, inconsistent, incohesive mess of a game whereby every system within is prone to fail in its duty at any given moment. The simple act of walking can trigger a nearby NPC to go flying off into the sky. It's extremely sensitive.

I tried to get in my car and it exploded, then two (of my car) spawned in the sky and dropped into traffic. What's odd is that amidst the chaos the game somehow recognized that the midair spawning cars were a ...

"If you are this gullible, the fault lies within you."

Just stop.

I know that games run better on more powerful hardware and I knew that last gen hardware would be pushed, but that isn't the point. The point is that they knew exactly how lousy their own product was and they pushed it out anyway. To add to that sin, they did not allow reviewers to discuss or show footage of these versions. Further, they spoke on Twitter of how well the last g...

Good on Sony and Microsoft.

CDPR should be ashamed, deceiving people by NOT ALLOWING console footage to be shown because it would negatively affect sales. I'll never forget this, and neither should anyone else. CDPR's sterling reputation is gone.

They're as low as Bethesda in my book.

The game looks like vasoline on PS5.

Framerate is good, but everything else is a disaster.

Good? Yeah. The bees knees like we were told? No.

If this were anyone else...

Remember, it's not just the condition the game is in that is egregious, it's the fact that reviewers were NOT ALLOWED to show console footage.

It's CDPR telling us that it "runs great" on everything and we have the dev Twitter quotes. Pure lies, deception, and lack of ethic. They wanted to hide this broken mess so that it wouldn't affect sales.

They're no better than Bethesda.

Here's some of my own gameplay.

You can see my car spontaneously combusting as I approached it. I initially thought someone planted a bomb on it as part of the game, but nope, just boom. Right after that the game spawned two more copies of my vehicle from the sky.

On the base Xbox One NPCs are changing at random and swapping out for different models.

I just walked to my car after finishing a mission and it exploded randomly. Then, two more of my vehicles spawned out of the sky and fell into traffic nearby.

What a pile of garbage.

CDPR had to have known somewhere in mid-development that PS4 and Xbox one were not going to work, but they decided to go ahead and do it anyway.

What I think would have been the right thing to do was just say "Look, we know we announced this game for the PS4 and Xbox One consoles, but we've made the decision to pull the plug on these versions, as the user experience would be very poor, and we want players to have a viable experience at the very least." I think...

But if it's to the point where resolution is so low that it's actually blurry? I don't demand high resolutions and generally prefer performance, but with PS5 why not at least 1440p?

It doesn't even look 1080p to me.

I'm waiting for the full-fledged PS5 patch because in its current state it's pure vasoline. I've played it and I know. Fine, it's a smooth 60. Doesn't matter - it's eyestrain to me. Shouldn't have been released yet.

But, they wanted their 2020 GOTY shot, and they wanted a good metacritic score (why not wait until you're actually done with development, then?)

CDPR fumbled.

Combination of bad priorities, bad messaging, too many platforms, a new gen and a bad climate (covid).

We know that they wanted a high metacritic score, and no doubt a GOTY shot as well, which is just dumb. This game needed more time - much more time.

Now we have a rushed game (to meet frankly dumb deadlines) and this is the result.
