41? Minutes?

Can somebody sum it up in a sentence for me?

Pre release hype and bullshit put up against the finished product

...also, I'm still loving my time with the game.

I was underwhelmed on PS5, I'm really enjoying it on PC.

It is a good watch. It's not just a piss take, it's quite a depressing summary of the situation. You get the feeling that the guy isn't taking joy from it. Same with the Angry Joe video, he's more disappointed than angry

While I have enjoyed my time with Cyberpunk, I can't help but feel there is just too much to fix... 

I know Witcher 3 had its problems at launch but they've clearly stripped so much from what they previewed a few years ago. 

It's a real shame.

Thought it was a good video, but the comparison bits against older games were a touch unfair, imo. GTA IV I remember got made fun of cos it had Havok physics turned up to 11.

The stuff coming from their own mouths though, especially regarding backstory and vehicles, fucking fuck me. Disastrous.

I think that's what most of us (specifically in our age demographic) feel like, just out-right disappointed. The real depressing thing though that this is just becoming normal. Games rarely, if ever live up to their promise these days and more often than not, launch in beta states and we're expected to stick around while they fix it.

I swear if I hear roadmap one more time this year...

I will admit to liking this quite a bit every time this dreamy little thing hit the radio



As I was speeding on my bike through the city

Mate at work just sold me this for tuppence. Said he kept falling through the floor so fucked it off lol.

Lighting is very good, as are the weather affects. Have you not played it? I can't imagine you'll suffer it long mate.

Get that on the box art.

Weather effects are crap. Might look nice in photo mode but walking around in the rain shows it up as cheap and unconvincing.

I literally didn't know which way you'd go with it. Most here seem totally oblivious to stuff that puts a real handbrake on my immersion/enjoyment

Fo shame, one of my faves. Miss it.

I mean, I can't see the game improving in any meaningful way apart from more shiny and better performance. Neither of those things change the fact this game is an absolute arsehole to play - straight up feels like you're stepping back a generation when compared to recent open worlders.

It's a pretty woeful attempt at future GTA with some really badly implemented hacking and dreadful gun combat, bundled with a lot of pressing a button to pick up shit everywhere and a lot of staring at a prettily modelled NPC's while they rattle on about some nonsense in an accent that doesn't suit the body language of the character model whatsoever, whilst selecting an answer here and there that might do something hours later, or maybe not. It's hard to care when the premise feels so outdated. This is a game where vehicles handle abysmally and swoon about like boats, a game where the general public are just posts, there to maybe trigger any kind of reaction from any police presence, a game where violence seems to be the only way to express yourself, an empty and pointlessly cluttered jumble of half baked ideas. It's dead and void. A game world richly detailed beyond reason but with nowhere to lose yourself. Even moving about in this world is clumsy. It's tragic.

Utter shambles of a game. PM me if you'd like my PS4 copy. I'll do a nice badger price.
