Even if Cyberpunk didn't have a single bug, it's still, at most, a 6. It had a bland story and missions. It controlled wonky, even after fixing the control settings. The graphics weren't anything to write home about. There just wasn't anything about it that separated it from the pack.
It's a poor-man's Deus Ex. Cyberpunk was a letdown on all fronts. CD Projekt Red royally screwed up.

The only thing I disagree with is the graphics. The ray tracing in this game was outstanding.
Same here! I don't understand why PC version never went down to $9.99 when all console versions did.
Been waiting to grab this one but it's been hovering around $17.99. With all the reviews, disappointments & all, I think $9.99 is more fitting.
Unless someone here thinks it's definitely worth at $16.59? Thanks.
The game has lots of issues no doubt. Expectations were out of this world and the studio's ambitions were simply just unachievable. It's not what was promised, but it's still a master piece in my opinion (if you have the hardware to run it).
Open world mechanics are not good (apart from the visuals) but its the game's story which is the main selling point. The story is just amazing, it's an emotional roller coaster and it's one of the few games where I felt actual attachment to the characters, when/if they would die, it was absolutely devastating.
A lot of people expected a futuristic GTA and that's where they got disappointed. The game's duplicitous marketing didn't help either. Treat this as a story game and you won't be disappointed.
Guardians of the Galaxy is a $20 game at best. I finished it a couple weeks ago and sold it (PS4).
The gameplay is blah. The combat is tedious and repetitive. The characters (except maybe Rocket) don't look or sound anything like the film versions (ironically, I like this Gamora better). The back and forth banter and insults between the characters is the best part, but even that can be repetitive. I hate the QTE that pop up, you have to get the button timing JUST right.... I replayed some missions like 25+ times just to pass a QTE.
There are some really funny moments, but honestly you can watch all that on Youtube if you want.
And most tragically, this game has a great soundtrack.... but you can't really hear the music. There is a jukebox on the Milano where you can play music, but there's always someone talking/yelling at each other over the music. No way to just listen to the soundtrack, sad face.
I went in excited for it and by the end I just wanted it to be OVER. Oh, and the gimmick ending that I won't spoil, but I hated it.

I agree with this. The game had serious teething issues but most of the major offenders have been fixed by 1.3+ which is what I finished on. The game was overhyped and a lot of things didn't make it into the game. BUT if you go in without knowing about the broken promises, you have a really good future cyberpunk rpg game. Just don't pay any attention to what you're wearing, if you are going for stats you wind up with the most ridiculous looking outfits ever. It does hook you with the main characters (I loves me some Judy and Panam).
Some tips to enjoying this game...
Never buy guns, you will find the best ones in the game during missions. And bad guys drop guns like crazy... sell those.
DO buy cyberdeck upgrades as soon as possible. More RAM, better attacks, etc
Don't bother with any npc nonsense, just ignore them.
Don't discharge you gun (or accidentally throw a grenade) in public or the cops will be up your ass in a hot second, and the cops are brutal.
Best vehicles are the motorcycles. The cars all handle like shit and just getting from point A to B is a chore. Bikes are way easier to zip around on. Plus you can view in 3rd person mode on a bike, actually one of the few times you get to see your character (and their terrible outfits).
Tons more tips on the net.
This game is pretty long and there are a million side quests. You can just focus on the main story, but you kinda need the side quests to level up.
If your PC has the balls, it can look freaking awesome. It can also look like a potato if you don't. Don't be afraid to stick to 1080p medium if the game is stuttering on you.

It came close at around 16 where I aped in. It kept crashing at first on a high end system, using gog, but it stopped after a while. Save often.
PC? where?

Game should just be free 2 play at this point
Don't expect it to be nearly as good as Witcher. The story just isn't there.
