I just saw this game at Best Buy for $15.
That’s a great deal. If anyone is on the fence about this game it’s an absolute steal at that price.
I would agree. I think I paid $37 for it when I played it and thought it was actually a really…well, good game. I mean, clearly unfinished. I played the PC version and it was still buggy, but it never stopped me from finishing the game. It never crashed to the desktop, but I saw hilarious things once in awhile.
It may have been fixed up by now? Somewhat?
That dude that made the tram did a great job. It’s really neat.
I still insist the driving was sluggish and a chore in this game.
I got it shortly after it came out (on PC) on sale, I think 50% off. I hadn’t read any reviews or seen any advertising.
It was okay. Not game of the year by any stretch, but there was a lot of unfair criticism aimed at it (along with the creators hyping it so hard they were clearly being dishonest). I liked a review that I saw (afterward) saying the first several hours were good, at which point it became lame. Since it basically costs two or three movies, I think that’s alright.
The biggest bugs have been fixed. You can still fail quests due to bugs (the developers prioritized the main quest and most popular quests though). They’ve improved the driving somewhat, but didn’t explain how to make it better. (It’s not just the steering, but the constant fishtailing. When you’re doing a driving quest you have to drive at top speed, fishtailing, running over civilians and so forth. Unfortunately the otherwise great Sinnerman quest starts that way, and one of the great Peralez quests has such a sequence too.)
I paid $60 for my copy and I feel like I got my money’s worth. I didn’t have many issues running the game on my PC, and the only reason I was at all disappointed was because a lot of what was promised throughout the years of development didn’t make it to the final game. But I liked the character designs, the missions, and I thought the story and the actors were pretty good. I like that Johnny Silverhand was a charismatic asshole who wasn’t right all the time.
I believe I got it half off for the PC and it’s a fun game. I definitely felt like I got my money’s worth. It ran smoothly enough, I didn’t play it on day 1 and there were some major patches by the time I started so there were no major bugs that I can remember. Every now and then there would be some glitch where textures in the environment wouldn’t load properly for a bit but overall it was no more buggy than other games.
I pre-purchased through a third party and got it for about 50% off, maybe a bit more. I knew basically nothing about it going in besides a general understanding of “Cyberpunk” as a classic tabletop RPG and knowing it was an open world RPG by CDPR. So no years of following hype or hanging my hopes on dev promises, etc. I just figured that for $25-$30, an RPG by the dev studio behind the Witcher games would probably be at least worth the ticket price.
And it was. I liked it. I didn’t love it but I legitimately enjoyed myself and was happy to flip it on in the evenings and see where the stories would lead. I thought the driving sucked and crafting was incomplete and some other stuff was obviously unfinished but I found it completely playable and didn’t have a ton of bug issues or broken quests, etc. A good part of that is probably owing to playing it on a beefy PC but the bottom line was that I easily got my ~$30 worth out of it. When I finished, I decided to set it aside and wait for any DLC (free or otherwise) before returning rather than burn myself out on it. But I did leave it on a good note.
There is now a mod, for the PC version of the game, that lets you actually use/ ride on the metro system.
Yeah, that was posted when this thread was revived. 
That was my experience, too, except for the fact that I hadn’t really followed the game’s development. The only thing I knew about it was that it was from the same guys who made the Witcher games, and that it was based on the other classic cyberpunk pen-and-paper RPG (I had played GURPS Cyberpunk, but not Cyberpunk 2020). That was enough for me to make it the one game per year I allow myself to buy at full price (the fact that it came out in December and I hadn’t bought one yet helped). I don’t regret it.
I decided to pick up the game during Steam’s Lunar New Year Sale. Probably won’t be playing until the weekend, though.
It has now had a massive 1.5 release that has not only upgraded it to PS5 and Xbox(whatever the current one is), but also fixed a ton.
Is the game…finally out for real now?
I played it last March and won’t be revisiting it any time soon. I’m wondering how much better the new fixes have made it. I’m hearing they actually, you know, kind of finished the game now. At least finished the version that was supposed to come out. I am still convinced a TON of content was cut entirely.
God damn it. I just finished my second playthrough last week, and NOW they give us a massive patch?
I bought it for $10 in a Best Buy sale and it’s just been sitting on my shelf. Guess it’s time to finally give it a look.
I really hope it is finally in a good state, and that they are working on some good length DLC now.
I would definitely reload it to play a 10-hour DLC storyline. I think there is a lot of potential there.
It’s a shame this wasn’t the greatest game of all time. Night City is impressive in many ways, but they just cut so much content out to get the game on the shelf.
I’m downloading the patch now. I’m anxious to play the game for the first time in a long time.
Reviews are very positive. What version do you have? PS5 and PC apparently are quite good now. Better A.I., better car driving A.I., better graphics, many quality of life improvements, new apartments, etc.
Mainly, they appear to have eliminated a TON of bugs and made the graphics current-generation level across the board.
I’m on PC. Pretty much everything is reset. No mods on clothes and all attribute points are reset. I loaded an older save where I had lots of money and bought the nicest apartment. Still trying to figure out how to customize it tho.
I want to revisit it but my problem is Warhammer 3 is live in a few hours. That plus CP 2077 would be a 250GB footprint on my PC (give-or-take). I could do it if I shed some other stuff but I like having some variety of games on my PC so…CP 2077 will have to wait.
