Cyberpunk 2077

At this stage, if you have an Xbox1 or PS4, forget it.
You need a decent PC or next-gen consoles.
Since it is on PC, I won't be getting a PS5 for this game.
I'm a keyboard and mouse person, after all.

A friend gifted it to me on PC. I have the PC for it. It crashed the first time I finished character creation due to a bug and my drive to 'roleplay' a neurotypical sci-fi criminal is somewhat low. I'll retry the prologue with a controller, the game clearly wasn't designed to work well with mouse even on PC. Maybe if I act like a lonewolf ass instead of my normal paragon way I won't end up partying in some nightclub during the cutscene that transports you to night city. Not happy about that.

At my age, money isn't a problem, so I'll give it a go.
Nothing to lose, and I know from experience, that in-game problems get fixed over time.

I won't be playing the muti-player game, when it comes out.
I am sick of the hacking and cheating, when playing with hoomans.

I have been playing it a bit on PS4, my biggest complaint so far is that it has been a bit too dark in the game and something like a torch would be helpful. I am generally ignoring what popular complaints are and trying to have fun my own way. It does have some glitches, one such was looking in a mirror would remove my hat and make me bold, and the preview picture of an item would pop up again when looking at a different inventory.

I've been playing it on PC and it's been pretty fun so far. There are lots of bugs but only had to load the game twice in 46 hours of gameplay, haven't had any crashes. Most of the bugs are just visual and are amusing to watch. I wish I could have got better performance though. I think the game only looks alright at 1080p, medium settings, 60fps which is all my i7-8700k and 1070ti can handle. I'm GPU bound, would have bought an RTX 3080 if I could ever find one in stock.

So it seems the prologue is linear, no choices change the outcome. Dang.

I'm going to have to majorly tweak controller settings if I'm going to have any fun playing this game. I don't like the two stage sensitivity looking around/aiming where it starts slow and then accelerates. Feels like I'm fighting the controls just in the tutorial. I've played a lot of games in my day, I swear I'm not usually this harsh.

If I had bought this myself, I would have already requested a refund and waited a year or two for its price to depress. A pseudo open world pseudo RPG FPS isn't worth $60.

The first patch improved performance a lot.
And, my husband installed some unofficial patches for better memory management. He keeps an up-to-date gaming-and-working PC at home.
I won't be able to play until he starts going to office again - I'm not an evening creature and during the day, the gaming PC is his working PC.

Well, I have been playing it on my PC and I think it is great.

It is nice to see the public nudity on the posters.
It seems nakedness isn't that scary, in the future.

The patch was already part of the download, it seems.
The movement, on the PC is excellent.
YMMV, dependent on your computer specs.

Not based on what I saw on a youtube video.
Ingame choices affect the storyline.

That's not what I said though. Maybe choices matter outside of the prologue, but within the prologue none of the dialogue choices change anything within the prologue. There are three linear 'origin' stories to chose from to meet Jackie Wells, nomad (me), street, and corpo, but that's it. Be as snarky or civil as you want, the outcome of joining up with Jackie is inevitable it seems.

You get some extra dialogue choices throughout the game depending on which prologue you choose but they don't seem to affect the outcome, nor does 99% of the rest of the dialogue choices in the game. They even colour code the dialogue choices, blue for meaningless choices and yellow to progress the story. Even then none of the choices you make seems to matter much which sucks. This definitely isn't a Fallout game.

As for complaining not being an open-world, once you get to chapter 2 you can go pretty much anywhere on the enormous map so I'm not sure what you want there. When combat slows at the start that is due to one of your cyberwar upgrades, simply see a ripperdoc and change that out for something else if you don't want that to happen.

Criticism. From what I've heard they promised more in their advertising. Apparently the game doesn't have dynamic encounters, just scripted events and areas stay cleared once you clear them. Wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle I believe the phrase goes. I'm fine with that aspect, though I've never been big on typical FPS games, lots of past gen games and current gen games are like that.

I'm not talking about combat slowing at the start, but aim acceleration. It looks like there's a way to turn it off here, good riddance: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/how-to-fix-the-wonky-camera-controls-in-cyberpunk-2077/ar-BB1bNeAe

So far I've been enjoying it and haven't had the graphics problems people have been happening on PS4, but the lighting is very off in Night City during the daytime. I have a PS4 Pro so it might be a little more compatible with the game. That being said, the bad glitch that I did have involved a person suddenly pop in front of my car floating as if they're seated in a vehicle but they were just floating in midair. I accidentally rammed into their "car" and got in trouble with the police.

I thought I may have misunderstood what you sid.
