I just started playing this over the weekend, and even on a high end gaming PC, I'm seeing the slowest frame rate I've seen in any AAA title, and not very impressive graphics to justify that.

Plus the game is just soooooo buggy. People run around with their heads cut off. If you walk into some people they'll shoot you in the back out of "rage" which instant kills you. And there's all sorts of bugs with the missions that land you in a state where you can't progress anymore, and often times the previous checkpoint has the same bug so you have to revert to a much older save.


I'm gonna put it away for 6 months and let them work on patches. It'll be a good game eventually, but this is basically alpha quality at this point. If they just had one QA engineer play through the game, I think they could've known that it's not ready to release.

Games is playable for me ~30fps but I expected better graphics

I like the game, with pacth 1.04. I play in High, no RTX, DLS in quality, 50 FPS. Very good graphics, at least for me, but I am not a big gamer.

NPCs don't even have AI and police just spawn right behind you. And I'm not even talking about bugs, crashing or other technical issues.

I asked for a refund, really disappointed. I expected something like GTA V or RDR2 and it doesn't come even close.

Yeah a game at this price should take something like GTA V or RDR 2 or even Far Cry 5 experiences to the next level. I think it has the potential to do so but not in its current shape. That’s the standard I’m judging it to.

Hardly surprising. CDPR reported the game had gone gold on 5 October, then announced a delay 22 days later.
Add in the constant reports of the company forcing their employees to crunch and it was obvious they were rushing to get the game out before Christmas.

CDPR's done some serious damage to their immaculate reputation with this one.

Horrible optimization even on the PC

 

[SeriousHoax]

The biggest fault for them was to announce the release date early. It was supposed to be released in April 2020. Just imagine how bad it would have been? Then they delayed a few times but the gaming world became angry and they eventually released a buggy game.
I think they needed at least 6-7 months more to fix everything and release the game.
I played the first mission last night and the game crashed in such a weird way. I met the character Jackie and were walking towards my car and suddenly my character fell down on the floor and died. Then it asked to restart from the checkpoint. I never faced such a weird bug like that in a game.
This is the only game I've ever pre-ordered because of my love for The Witcher 3 but so far the experience hasn't been good enough.
I'm still playing the story mode of Red Dead Redemption 2 (Last chapter) and Cyberpunk is no way near immersive as RDR2. Car driving is also worse compared to the GTA series.
I'm also thinking about playing it later and give them the time to polish the game.
BTW, there's a method for AMD CPU users to improve performance. It makes the game use all logical cores of your CPU. I'm playing the game on the AMD 3400G APU on low settings and getting playable 30-40 FPS even without this fix, so optimization has been pretty good for me.

Game version 1.04 gog edition. gtx 1660 super, 32Gb ram, ryzen 5 3600, 1080p High vsync on, getting 60 fps constantly.

At least on PC is fine, I'm playing on Ultra (without RT) at 1080p and get stable 60FPS (with V-Sync on).

I haven't ran into any major bugs nor glitches either, the few glitches (not major) I've seen were fixed with v1.04.

Honestly I'm playing with a Ryzen 2600, and I get the performance I stated above without any so called fixes.

Include Far Cry 5 in the group please, is one of my favorites games

 

[AYIZEB]

The game is good at the level of history, but at the optimization level and at the AI level, it is a third-rate game, I can only think that the game still had years to develop or even wanted to sell a revolutionary game and does not reach the level for example red dead 2 at the graphics level and ia ... two different companies.

I met the character Jackie and were walking towards my car and suddenly my character fell down on the floor and died.

LOL, I'm laughing too hard, sorry.

 

[MacDefender]

LOL, I'm laughing too hard, sorry.

Right now it is honestly funnier to read the Reddit or Twitter's #CyberBug2077 than to actually play the game. A lot of these glitches are really funny to watch but when you end up having to do the same mission over and over again because the game gets stuck or walking down the stairs kills you, it becomes much less funny!

Since I haven't bought it yet it's running in my mind absolutely smooth even in work time, sry boss

 

[MacDefender]

About 30 hours into the game, I honestly would say if you wait until Feb it’ll be a better experience. Looking forward to the next set of patches, but there’s a ton of potential to this game but between bugs and incomplete features we’ve discussed above, it makes the gameplay so different from what the developers must’ve intended.

If I tried to run such a complex game in my mind it would freeze, and the graphics would look like they were being rendered by an old Voodoo board
