Why Is Cyberpunk 2077 SO BAD?! 

TELL ME LIES TELL ME SWEET LITTLE LIES Goddamn, this really was a massive disappointment. Probably needed an extra 2 years in the oven to become what CDPR was trying to sell us. That misleading marketing though. Anyways, at least Keanu Reeves and the soundtrack were amazing. But damn CDPR faded itself real fast.

"Go back to sleep Samurai, the city hasn't rendered yet"

CDPR : "We spent years making a highly detailed City" Me : "Can u interact with it in any way?" CDPR: "No but we have Keanu Reeves"

i watched so many reviews of cyberpunk and im always laughing to the fact that every single one of them has different bugs

37:51 in the story we learn he hates Arasaka because they took his girlfriend from him. They killed her and made her an AI. Johnny bombed the building and got his girlfriend’s AI out of their system. That’s why Johnny didn’t just leave with Rogue when he started the bomb timer. He had one last thing he had to do. Get his girlfriend’s AI out of there.

It's funny AF how a game about Corporate Greed failed becauze of corporate greed

*Top 10 worst insults in the world* “This game is flaccid”

I think you really hit the nail on the head when you pointed out how the first part of the game up until the point when Jackie dies... was fantastic. I think it really built up my anticipation to go out and explore the open world, but it was immediately after that part of the game that I realized that I cant even care about what I'm doing if I try to.

The game "won" over 200 awards before it even released, that could make you think it's because of early copies, but if you look closely to the award list they're all for "best sci-ci game of the year" "best aesthetics" and so on given by non game related magazines, none of which reflects the game's quality in any way

Those 200 awards were given when it wasn't even released yet. Awards for an unreleased game should be illegal.

“Why is Cyberpunk so BAD?!” Is a phrase I never thought I’d hear a year ago It makes me sad

It's staggering how many people are willing to overlook serious design flaws and a lack of meaningful content for this game because CDPR released a few patches and an anime. Meanwhile, you're still the only person in the whole city that can ride a motorcycle. That's how bad their traffic system is.

I'm sorry but 8 fucking years. There is no excuse why the game was released like this

8 years to make the game, 4 years to make the world 3 years to write the story 1 year and 6 months to write the characters 5 months of straight nothing 1 month to write the code

This game is the embodiment of "I really, really, really WANT to like this game."

One of the devs of Hollow Knight said something very wise once. I don't know the exact sentence he said but this is an approximation: "We use the budget we have to build a game that can be playable, and if we still have time and budget we will add more." But CD Projekt Red did the very opposite.

As someone who bought the game late 2023 I fucking love this game. 0 bugs. Only time I really noticed anything was a drinking animation where V didn't actually pick up the beer. But most games don't even have that sort of animation detail

Act Man: “Harassment solves everything” Karens: *thundering applause

I'm glad Keanu Reeves isn't getting hate. Man is probably upset after hearing the response and seeing the result

9:40 I felt like coming back to this after the recent resurgence of cyberpunk. Honestly the number of gamers that have a tiny attention span has increased over the years and all it took was one Anime. The game is less buggy now but a lot of the features they promised still don't exist and yet we already have plans for DLC and people are excited. Why? The game now runs but it's still shallow. I can still do way more in GTA V and don't even get me started on RDR 2 activities. If you're reading this comment and think otherwise watch this entire video all over again to refresh your memories of the years of lies we got. Then comment. Fixing a buggy game is a plus but common guys.

Hello from 2 years later. It's still broken. It's better but still broken.

I feel like nobody ever talks about how he positions his ads so that he isn’t interrupted in the middle of a sentence, i love that

Why even care about character customization if you never get to see your character

Alot of the criticism this game gets wouldn't have happened if it was marketed differently, this game isn't about being who you want to be, it's about being V, it doesn't matter what guns you have or what clothes you wear, you're still V, the game should've been marketed around V as a character rather than "someone the player customizes" cus this is more about V's story than it is a story the player makes.

“Why does Johnny bomb the Arasaka headquarters?” So we’re just gonna ignore his entire monologue towards V on why he hates corporations?

Patrolling night city almost makes you wish for a finished game

The Internet Historian's gonna have field day with this game.

I couldn't agree more with all of this. The lack of third person makes me feel so detached from V and the AI is still so fucking bad almost 2 years later.

One thing that has always bugged me about this game is the way people talk. The words they miss out. Like, they don't say "I'll put this on the table" They'll say "Put this on the table" and somehow V is capable of knowing that they're not telling him to do it for them.

Act Man: *Makes a why is Cyberpunk so bad video* The notification on his screen: *Be ready to fight the horde*

Whoever is dressed up as Johnny Silverhand should start a RU-vid channel, he seems funny

I guess we're supposed to forget that all this happened just because there's an anime related to this game. . .

Interestingly, that whole talk on a first person only perspective was done in Republic commando (a highly reviewable game might I add). We only know boss is orange themed because of the cover art, open screen, and arms. The whole game is seen through the helmet, except for as a baby, teen, early training, and getting the helmet. And I think it really really works

Me- sees Cyberpunk. Me- Looks at Halo Infinite. "Maybe you do deserve some more oven time, i'm sorry please be good."

It's odd that the character creator has so many options but 99% of the game is first person.

The sad thing is a lot of the world building Act Man is complimenting is nothing to do with CD Projeckt Red. It's all lifted directly from the TTRPG the game is based on. All that creativity came from the writers of the setting and the books that make up the TTRPG not CD Projeckt Red.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence I abandoned the game right after Jackies death. The game just felt boring after that which is strange given how hooked I was on the story.

What pissed me off was that the cops were actively teleporting into pacifica, a place without police when I did a crime

I loved Johnny Actinghand, he should be on more videos!

Reading the comments in their most recent dlc trailer, I felt like I’m crazy and was playing a completely different game. It’s full of “this game has one of the best open worlds” “lore is amazing” “story is so good”. I played it the past week on PS5 after all the praise it has been getting lately “it’s fixed now! It’s amazing! There was this good big patch!” And let me tell you, it’s still so full of bugs, both visual and gameplay, I even had a game breaking bug in a main mission that made the game crash multiple times and I was stuck on it for a while. The world couldn’t feel more dead and bland, it’s big and pretty but at the same time it feels lifeless. I hated most of the characters, Johnny especially, only decent characters were Jackie and Takemura. The main character V is unlikable, the dialogue is just weird no real people talk like that. And most of all what’s the point of customizing your own character and not being able to see them?? I felt like only the first 6 hours (trial hours) were actually good, after that it just gets boring and worse.

Read Dead Redemption allowed you to do the following interactions with its far better AI; race horses, tame horses, duel, shooting competitions, blackjack, liar's dice, horseshoes, bounty hunt, etc. in 2010...

“Promised npc’s to rival red dead redemption 2” this games npc’s and world are a joke compared to rdr2

That intro lmfao I can tell you probably practiced that about 4 times and were laughing the whole way through

Jesus. It sounds like Cyberpunk's all flash and no bang. I'm writing a manga and if there's one thing I hate, it's a lack of depth. I want things to have personality and individuality. See, if I was writing Cyberpunk as a more linear game, I'd make V this pissed off outcast who wants to make a name for himself after spending all his life in the gutter until his twenties. And when he enters Night City, believing the legends that the city is where dreams come true, he arrives and becomes a cold and famous criminal. His desperation to become remembered as something is essentially taking over his decency as a person, ignoring the shit that Arasaka or the gangs have done all to gain favour and reputation but keeps going as he feels like he's done nothing. But during the heist for the chip, Jackie's death and Johnny's arrival makes life start hitting him with a stick. His fear of Johnny taking him over, his fear of being forgotten and Adam Smasher hunting him like Mr X begin pushing him to his limits, shoves him in a corner and start questioning who V is and what he wants to be. Another is Johnny. Johnny is the best and worst parts of V. He's a selfish asshole who wanted to forget his shitty past in music and debauchery but the loss of his girlfriend and the shit Arasaka has done reminds him of the shit the US government and thus, makes him desperate to take them down and thus end the nightmares of Night City. But he went down a dark path and it made him essentially a well intentioned extremist. The dynamic between them should've been the narrative focus. V is selfish and only wants to be remembered because of a lower past and Johnny wants to take him over due to his hatred of V's selfish attitude and his seeming lack of Jackie's death hitting him pisses him off. But as the two try to escape Adam Smasher, V starts questioning his views. For the first, I dunno, third or half of the game focuses on V on the run trying to escape Smasher and Johnny and the two start changing from a bitter battle for control to an almost symbiotic bromance. Johnny's goals and vision start awakening V's altruistic side and Johnny starts growing on V and becomes less radical and more reluctant to take over. Eventually, the two decide to take down Arasaka so Johnny can get a body that isn't V's. They go on these exciting missions to take down Arasaka. It could involve space missions to destroy their control of the internet, a bomb to just nuke the company or raise a revolution from the ground up by taking over the gangs one by one. They could have hover car chases, prison breaks or bank heists. And the campaign against Arasaka starts, V becomes less focused on saving himself and becomes more focused on saving the city with Johnny becoming a sort of mentor for him. Eventually, Arasaka could be pushed to the limit and start shoving martial law upon the city and V and Johnny have to take down the city with some mission like ME2's suicide mission finale. the characters you've met up throughout the game with the biggest connections to you join up and help but depending on your choices, could die or live. Eventually, when V and Johnny reach the office of the CEO, the bad guy could set up a bomb to prevent losing Arasaka and the building begins exploding while V and Johnny have this epic final battle against Adam Smasher. Eventually, you'll reach the end but it'll be multi ending. They all end with V or Johnny in charge of Night City and only one ends with them both. V could become a new crime boss, Johnny takes over and becomes a new musician or if their relationship is at essentially being besties, Johnny will have learned how to erase his own code and save V or V could just let him take over. That choice will be either saving V or Johnny or depending on your choices, Johnny will leave V and have a new body and they'll both have the goal of going out and using the power they now have to change the world for the better. But that's how I'd do it.

26:23 you actually do get to ride the roller coaster, once, there's a small group of people trying to get it work and you have to help them fix it, the moment you do, you have the option to ride it, not as impressive as the trailer at all, the game sucks in general

The "The whole game is going to be a meme" official Tweet from CDPR will age fine as wine.

“Harassment solves everything” I fucking Died

so many missing features and people really tried to say "oh no the game's better now cause there are less bug and they keep on improving the mechanics etc" mfs act like it's okay to have super buggy games as long as it gets fixed a year later copium fr

Cyberpunk even after the fixes and updates still feels like a Ubisoft open world trying desperately to be a Bethesda RPG. The world and lore that the in game universe has is amazing, some of the best in video games but is played out through a 6/10 game, and they only JUST added transmog

Rockstar before Cyberpunk's launch: "Alright boys, let's get into war" Rockstar after Cyberpunk's launch: "Actually, we'll take the time we need to make GTA 6"

"Johnny never wakes you up and you never burn the city." *Only if only.....*

never experienced the hype, and only got it recently. Must say, it's a fantastic experience, the immersion is never felt before. But the more I play, the more I love this world, the more obvious the fact that contents were missing. This is heart breaking for me, someone who hasn't even been through all the pre-release fiasco. I can only imagine what it felt at launch.

Cyberpunk 2077 actually was awesome, it was just launched horrible. Patching this Game in 2023 with 50GB for the PS4 made it one of the best experiences I ever had ! Its extremly sad how this nightmare of a release and promotion ruined the games reputation completly !

Can't believe you got Keanu to reprise his role

CDPR fell to the same trap that every big studio falls in eventually: they tried to create something way too big and lost track of the goal.

The maelstrom boys looked pretty intimidating so I would want to pick fights with them. Just to have cops spawn out of thin air and interrupt the fun. If they are so effective then how come they can just spawn like that

I gave this game another chance when phantom liberty came out. I 100% the game and almost failed out of school because of it. It’s not perfect but I ran into about 4 or 5 bugs and none of them were game breaking. The biggest one was 2 or 3 times I couldn’t pick up an item to complete a quest but all I had to do was restart the game and it worked. Annoying but wasn’t often. You should give it another shot. I played 160+ hours had a blast and I wish I had more to play because there isn’t anything like it.

Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a good RPG *Laughs in New Vegas*

"we won't ship something which is not ready" I've seen milk age better than that statement

Do you even remember what the beef between the wraiths and the aldecaldos was about? Nope. And I don't remember about 95% of the rest of the stories in this game, because my character had zero stake in them.

Still the most accurate review of this game. Patch after patch can't fix core issues

The real horror of this whole thing is V’s shadow.

You say that CDPR "invented" slang like "choom" and "gonk" but litteraly these words were invented by Mike Pondsmith and his team when he created the table-top role-playing game Cyberpunk 2020.

You’ve really got to revisit this game in its state today. I never played 1.0, fully waited until 2.0 and it’s easily one of my favorite games of all time now.

2 years nothing changed

Doom eternal: takes place in hell Cyberpunk: takes place in blue hell.

Bethesda: "we're concerned hat cyberpunk 2077 maybe replicating the experience that fallout 76 is known for."

I like how there was three choices for what you can be but it all ends up being the exact same thing

It's ironic that I have to lower my standards in order to like this game... Could have been a revolution in the RPG/FPS genre, truly a missed opportunity...

CDPR: “You’re laughing, we made an apology video, and you’re laughing”

“Welcome to the next generation of open world adventure” *laughs in GTA San Andreas*

The funny thing is, Cyberpunk 2077 is based off an old Tabletop RPG, so it's not like they don't have tons of stuff to work with story wise. Guess I'll just stick with playing the original Deus Ex.

Personally, i think Cyberpunk should have been 3rd person like Witcher. Whats the point of character customisation if you cant even see your own character anyway? Never understood that in first person shooters. But yeah, Cyberpunk is like 10% of what it should have been. Sad

When you said "General Shepherd" I immediately felt a rush of anger as the line "that's one less loose end" plays in my head

Has anyone noticed that V your character is the only one who drives a motorcycle and I mean in normal traffic or on the streets not scripted events..etc.

I quit playing out of boredom, then immediately uninstalled.

Pov: you watch this after patch 2.0 👇

jesus christ, johnny's opening cry speech was actually emotional somehow, like jesus, never felt this bad for a parody

I'm surprised more people don't know that tons of developers left CDPR after The Witcher 3, and most of them said the reason they left was because of incompetent management (poor communication, unreasonable crunch periods, all that fun stuff). That's not even getting into how Witcher 3 had its own miniature controversy over downgraded graphics and how buggy the game was at release. Think most people who idolized CDPR after Witcher 3 don't realize that it was only a great game through dogged determination from a poorly supported, overworked and under appreciated dev team that moved onto greener pastures after that game's release.

I know for a fact CDPR had their apology written in advance to the release😂

"You were created by the corpo rats" This. And it's not even very good at being rebellious because everything is such a strawman. Cyberpunk 2077 doesn't wanna actually say anything, because that'd be too risky for such a massive *corpo* project.

Cyberpunk died faster and harder than Fall guys, change my mind

The 3rd person cut scenes looked amazing, and they were cut for ‘immersion’. My ass.

Their stockprice dropped from 100$ to 20$ in 3 years. It looks grim for CD project red.

So glad somenone talks about the problems of the design itself and not just the poor technical execution. Most controversy is about the bugs, glitches and poor performance while most people dont mention that the gameplay itself is the pretty generic open world loop. Combat isnt really fun, hacking as a spell-like system is boring in execution and options and the game is filled with filler content noone cares about. You can see the difference between a sidequest in Witcher 3 where a conversation kickstarts the quest while in Cyberpunk you get a dm. That's it. The actual quest isnt very inspiring either. Just "get x" or "kill y" and sometimes you get some extra cash when you do it sneaky. There are cool quests that show the worldbuilding and characters like the SPOILER quest about the guy who wants to make a braindance out of his crucifixion END OF SPOILER. They cant be easily distinguished from the generic sidequests that just waste your time. Why even make an open world game when there is almost nothing worth engaging with it?

Their "apology" didn't even mention the missing features and shit, just the bugs and performance. Honestly CDPR are lucky the game is buggy as it is, because then no one notices the missing features, the non existent RPG and story mechanics and the misleading marketing because of how bad the bugs are. The fact the game isn't even in the SAME GENRE as what was advertised is disappointing. Your "life path" doesn't matter past 20 minutes into the game, none of your choices matter until the very end of the game. Dialogue options don't matter most of the time and they're more similar to Fallout 4's crappy dialogue system than anything else It’s also sad that the story isn’t about V, it’s about Keanu Ree- I mean Johnny Silverhand

I wished we could've explore Jackie and V's adventures together instead of rushing the time.

Even with all the patches, the story is still boring. The combat is boring and the story falls short. They made this amazing world and they don’t even use most of the shit. Seriously they made all these interesting factions and barely even use them.

I agree after the 6 hour mark and the 2 minute montage of V and Jackie honestly pissed me off.. like uhh yeah this cutscene with Jackie looks crazy and intense, you I wish this was actually gameplay instead of a FUCKING cutscene.......

Funny how Oblivion, a game infamous for it's "what the fuckery" is better than a game that *was* famous for being a game to spearhead the new generation of gaming.

When a game made in 18 months has better stories, quests, characters, world complexity and RPG mechanics then a game made in 5 years.

Y'know I don't have solid evidance, this is just a theory of mine but I think cyberpunk bricked my ps4 pro... I installed the "game saving" update they put out awhile back and after playing for a bit my ps4 stopped working. Again it's just a theory of mine because of the timing, I don't even know if a single game can brick a ps4 but the timing was just too perfect.

8 years + delays and it's still half a game............. 8 YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wtf were they doing in all that time???????

When you realize that your character is the only one driving a bike in the whole game...

I honestly don't get why they only used Jackie so sparingly in the game. He's easily the most compelling companion and character, he has this really rich hinted-at backstory and then they don't even explore it. The whole game feels like it sets up so much promise and then just throws it in a dumpster.

The fact that very high amount of ambient sounds and unnecessary visual effects seriously headache.

And now they've completely dropped support for the last gen consoles. I can't wait to see all the replies of "That's a good thing, they never should have released on last gen in the first place ect ect". I just want a video of Act Man shooting down every defense for CDPR dropping Last Gen console support. Can we get that please?

"General Shepard" Nearly had a stroke hearing that. lol.

“It’s a PR nightmare” *A CDPR NIGHTMARE*

Can you take a new look at it they’ve patched up the game and I want to know if I should buy iy
