I'm still on the fence buying this game. Waiting for a sale and will grab it immediately.
It's not that bad today to be honest.
It's still not at all the game that they originally sold people pre-release though. If you go into it thinking that you're going to be getting an action looter-shooter with some interesting mechanics and great visuals then you'll get pretty much what you're expecting.
Going into it buying CDPR's line about it being the "next generation of open-world gaming" and "Evolution of RPG's" or whatever crap they were spewing, will leave a sour taste in your mouth.
The main campaign and side-mission storylines are just flat-out great though.
CDPR have always been good at doing the storytelling side of things, and that didn't really change with Cyberpunk.
Total fraud on release though, especially on console. Fuck them for what they did there.
For transparency, I'm referring to how it is currently on PC, where you also get mods if you want them. I couldn't comment on the console experience as I haven't played it.
Definitely wait for a sale though if you do one day go for it, I don't think it's good enough for the full price. Too many things are still lacking, although the upcomming DLC may fix that (which still means paying extra to fix the shit that should have been in the base game since release... Yeah).
For like a half-second I thought you meant Reddit... (I died a little inside. :-P)
Lol, no.
Reddit's like the reverse of Cyberpunk. Started great, then turned into a morass of lies later on. :D
I've been playing it over a year now. Once I was able to snag a PS5 and Playstation put it back in the store I picked it up.
MUCH MUCH better playing than launch...r/cyberpunk2077 used up a lot of salt throughout its tenure as a subreddit. Yet most the extreme hate the game drew was due to the insane promises CDPR made prior to launch. I'm personally not buying the DLC coming out in September until after it's released because of the botched launch, however I do expect it's going to run a lot smoother than the game's launch.
BUT as a base game, if you can pick it up on sale now, by all means I recommend getting it.
I played it on release for PC. It was good, although it felt incomplete. Bugs weren't as bad for the PC version as they were apparently on console, but they were there. New expansion is coming out soon, so there is probably going to be a sale then. I'd imagine the new expansion will improve (I hope) the things the game got wrong.
I played it on release on PS4. BASE PS4.
It was incredible.
That's... actually impressive.
You sure as hell grew up with a solid understanding of patience if the youtube videos that I saw of that are at all accurate.
It was pretty bad. Like, people were flying instead of walking. The same people repeated over and over. Going into any populated areas sounded like an acid trip of echoing voices. The floor usually disappeared. My weapons were invisible. List goes on
I too like to play my games on “Powerpoint” performance settings.
Base Xbox One user checking in. It was tolerable.

Same. While the bugs and technical issues were annoying, the fact that the underlying game was so lackluster was the worst part.
I would probably wait and see if they release a “Complete Edition” that comes with the new expansion pack and grab it when that’s on sale. The game is fun, but I personally feel like it’s a “one-and-done” sort of game.
Given CDPRs track record with the deep Witcher series discounts I'd expect a complete 2077 edition for cheap in a few years.
There's been talk that the upcoming expansion for the game (Phantom Liberty) will kinda overhaul some of the game's systems a bit, and make them closer to what was originally intended or hoped for. If you're still on the fence now, I suggest waiting a few more months, seeing if the DLC makes good on its hype, and grabbing everything then.
These are just my first 2 search results, but basically they all say the same thing:
https://www.videogameschronicle.com/features/cyberpunks-expansion-totally-overhauls-the-original-game/
https://screenrant.com/cyberpunk-2077-phantom-liberty-changes-rework-overhaul/
It is one of the only games of past decade that I completed and started again
It's down to 30 bucks.
I'll bite when it drops under 10.
That would be now
it's on sale on steam. get it now but wait until the expansion is out next month
