So, I've been a little out of the loop regarding Cyberpunk 2077. What about the game is so bad that it warrants this kind of reaction? Is it really more broken than Fallout 76?
bugs are just shifting the focus from the real problem. they forgot to put the game into the game. from the non-existant ai to the lack of rpg-elements.
the list of cut content is longer than todays add-riddeled youth could even read in one sitting :P
it's just a movie, might aswell just watch the story on youtube. (which would explain y game-journos gave it a 10/10)
I wish more games would go back to the good old linear, story-driven FPS format.
I'm tired of all these open-world games with copy-pasted, tiny set pieces just so they can claim to be non-linear, have the biggest map or the most gameplay hours. Drive around for 10 minutes to do some event for 5 minutes. Repeat 100 times to win. All hail the sand box!

So do I, but that's pretty much suicide. “Linear” has been a dirty word for over a decade now. Not everyone has the time or desire to put 150+ hours in to every game, but that’s what the the loudest voices say they want, so we get it.
I'm with you there. I'm sick of open worlds for the most part. It's not the fact that the world is laid out like that, but that to me it just means that the game is filled with a bunch of un-fun filler content. I also have no problem with playing someone else's story and characters that they wrote and is presented to me without trying to hide it into some conversation text and a character appearance creator as if I got a choice.
Probably my favorite example of open world done right? Yakuza series. Want to screw around in an open world with minigames and side quests that are very simple and repetitive (but at least sometimes make me laugh)? Great, you can do that. Want to ignore that for now (or forever) and advance the totally linear story? Go to the really obvious pink dot on the map that isn't all that far away and continue the story.
well, then you're in luck. as there is no ai i would categorize it as buggy rail-shooter.
the sad thing is, the sidemissions are actually good. but the getting to them is fucking horrendous. you can't do anything creative, create your own fun etc.
It's not. People around here are jumping on the hate wagon because there are women and minorities in the game. Unlike pol, the hatred is unironic.
The regular gaymerz are pissed because the game is buggy as hell right now, though the bugs are more amusing than game breaking. I played for over 100 hours since launch and had only one CTD in that time.
Poor gamers are pissed because their potato pcs can't run it at a fluid144fps on ultra/psycho settings at 4k resolution with all raytracing enabled. Someone on the steam boards bitched that their 1060 and ryzen 1700 wasn't enough and that meant the game was poorly optimized. I shit you not.
The game is next gen and that means it requires a beefy pc to run smoothly at max settings. Aside from the typical launch day problems though, the game is excellent. The writing is great, side quests are fun, combat is good, and the progression system is pretty much a 1 to 1 copy of the tabletop game. If I had to compare it to anything, I'd say cyberpunk married the slick presentation of a modern AAA game with the reactivity of Deus Ex. The first one.
TLDR - a lot of people are whining about shit that'll get fixed. The game works and it's nowhere near broken.
Hey I'm not a shill and I'll say its not more broken than Forza. On PC, console is and that's inexcusable. But its literally no more buggy than a standard Bethesda game, and people taught the industry that was okay by buying Skyrim 4 times despite being a broken mess.
There are many valid criticisms of the game. Its for sure no more than an 8/10 once all bugs are fixed (assuming future patches) on its best day and probably a solid 6 or 7 otherwise.
But the meme of how bad it is has far and away eclipsed reality.

Have you ever made a post here that doesn't blame women for your fucking failure of a life?
