Cyberpunk 2077 Review | Gamespot

Cyberpunk 2077 has standout side quests and strong main characters, though its buggy, superficial world and lack of purpose bring it down.

[TGGJustin]

Now people maybe will realize they overhyped this game. I never saw anything about it in footage that made me think it would be a GOTG. CD did one great game in Witcher 3 and people acted like everything from them would now be gold.

[Silly gameAr]

I'm not really that excited about it either, but people are hyped for this game because of the dev behind it. cd project red are super respected, and honestly one of the game companies out there that are really on the gamers side.

[SullysCigar]

I do agree that CDPR are super respected, but the people that were hyping the crap out of this game were also largely of a demographic that had nothing else to look forward to this yea after Halo got bumped.

I loved TW3, I've even saved a little bit to play on next gen after hearing it will be patched, but I had my concerns about CP2077 due to the whole Keanu Reeves thing and the bizarre Twitter marketing with celebs. It kinda felt a bit 'check it - we gots money now'. I guess I'll check out a few more reviews and see from there.

[fiveby9]

I'll surely be playing the game. I still do expect it to have some technical bugs. But I fully expect to put well over 100+ hours into it.. I am seeing some other very good reviews. Reviews are clearly subjective though. Who knows the motivation of experience of the reviewer. I tend not to put much value on reviews from such sites. But to each their own.

[oof46]

@SullysCigar: "...but the people that were hyping the crap out of this game were also largely of a demographic that had nothing else to look forward to this yea after Halo got bumped."

Why are you making this a console war thing? I've seen tons of Playstation and PC people who were excited for this game.

[GamingSinceForever]

If they were really on the gamer's side the shit would be all patched at launch. This game has been delayed twice I think. Not saying that it won't be a good game but can they please get their quality control together.

[UltraNova]

I'm not here to defend the game, let me be clear on that but Kallie Plagge reviewed the game, a games journalist that literally only plays Animal Crossing and Pokemon.

How did Gamespot thought its a good idea to let her review a genre that she does not play regularly, or even worse, might not even like to begin with? Also isn't she the "too much water" lady? Sadly there was no "too much rpg" quote...

[Knushwood Butt]

The same person reviewed Yoshi's Crafted World and gave it 8/10.

'Collectibles reward your curiosity and provide an added layer of depth.'.

Yeah!

[mikeslemonade]

W3 is overrated and Cyberpunk should have been current gen exclusive, the PS4 held it back.

[NecrumOddBoy]

Kallie Plague is a blot in gaming journalism. She is horribly racist and sexist, and puts really egregious social politics in her garbage reviews. These woke reviewers need to keep their personal agendas out if the reviews.

[hamburgerhill]

@oof46- because he's a douche!

[TheOptimist]

Witcher 2 and Witcher 1 were masterpieces too, but ok

[TGGJustin]

No one hardly gave a damn about Witcher until the third one. The first was just OK and the second was better but still had issues. They haven't done near enough compared to some other studios to think everything they do will be GOTY quality.

[RgR]

@TGG
Just like no one hardly gave a damn about elder scrolls morrowind....and yet it's still the best elder scrolls from bethesda.
Same with witcher 1 and 2. Most casuals had no clue if it's existence. Too much cod in the brain. And yet many others knew how great they are.

[InUrFoxHole]

🤣 🤣 🤣

[Imalwaysright]

CD made 3 great games prior to Cyberpunk and since when does one review dictate the quality of any given game?

[RazzerRedux]

Exactly.

[ABizzel1]

3 great games is really pushing it. The first was decent, the 2nd was good, the 3rd was great.

[ufo8mycat]

1
The first game was super rough
Second game was good
TW3 was amazing

Just because a studios previous gane was amazing doesnt automatically mean their next one will be.

[NXFather]

Especially on this site.

[ikarodemon]

First I would like to know why this review left before the date agreed with the developer. Second, why should I take into account a review of a game that has not received its final patch? Gamespot is playing a dirty game in this case.

[TGGJustin]

What? This was played with the Day 1 patch. Reviews went live today for everyone that had a code for it. Don't be mad because Gamespot wasn't blinded by hype like some other outlets. If you want to accuse someone of being dirty then accuse the developer for refusing to send out console keys and refusing to let reviewers use their own captured footage.

[RazzerRedux]

"What? This was played with the Day 1 patch. "

No.....it was not.

"I played a pre-release build that was updated during the review period, and there's a day-one patch planned as well, but the scale of technical issues is too large to reasonably expect immediate fixes."

[Petebloodyonion]

Well, it seems that you already had your mind made up that the game would suck no matter what.
reminds me of all the reviewers that already had Days gone painted as a failure at E3 because it was another zombie game with a white male protagonist.

And since you are so eager to have a Gamespot review reflecting your perception of the game I guess that we can discard your review of Tlou2 since the same Gamespot reviewer gave it an 8 versus your perfect score.
I guess you must agree also about Gamespot's review of Spiderman Miles Morales score of 7/10 versus your 9.5 review

And before replying to ppl about patches you should at least read the review
" I played a pre-release build that was updated during the review period, and there's a day-one patch planned as well, "
So nope she didn't play the patched version of the game.

[spicelicka]

Completely disagree. Many of the reviews are calling it GOTG in scope and ambition. Pretty much all the points taken off are due to performance issues and glitches Personally I couldn't care less about glitches, it is an independent issue and as long as it's plays decently well i'm satisfied.

[Father__Merrin]

@ 5by9

its a 20h game that can double up into the 40's range you will only get 100's of hours if you just play it again

[Mr_cheese]

Dude, i just looked through your comment history and cant believe you have spent the past 4 hours going from thread to thread bashing Cyberpunk and hailing reviewers as if you've personally played the game and they sung from your heart book.

[Games1st]

91 metascore with 44 reviews

[Jin_Sakai]

Here we go with this BS again.

By Kallie Plagge:

“The incorporation of different cultures and backgrounds is wildly inconsistent, from good to inaccurate to downright offensive“

[NecrumOddBoy]

Fictional world created by multicultural developers from an Eastern European studio from a game created by a black guy. Still not woke enough. Kallie is trash.

[lukasmain]

When I eventually play the game it will be a BLIND PLAYTHROUGH...

[MadLad]

Make another 700 posts how you don't like the game lol.

[RazzerRedux]

Has he played it?

[notachance]

did this game insult your family or something lmao

[neutralgamer1992]

One side will hate the review and cite 91/100 on meta while other will defend the review

Here are some facts

Cd project red haven't allowed sites to review the console version

CDPR have allowed the early reviews to show any of their personally captured gameplay due to the fact many would show bugs and glitches along with good aspects of the game

There is a day zero patched which was released mid way through the review process when other big companies would let the reviewers play with day zero/one patch to review to give fair and honest opinion

The main story is extremely short and with side quests it's 40+ hours max(I rather take a short great game but it is what it is)

Pandemic has hit all game developers hard so working from home and polishing the game along with play testers isn't easy. I think many games that will launch start 2021 will suffers some bugs/glitches unless games are delayed

Is it a bad game absolutely not is it GOTG type game I also don't think so. I am waiting till summer 2021 so I can get a ps5 and hopefully by than they will have a true next generation patch to make it awesome. This game needs gamers feedback so CDPR can improve so I think it's safe to assume it will be a much better game by middle of summer 2021

Reviews are an opinion of one person when that person gives our favorite game a good score we defend them and when they don't we hate on them. Ask yourself this do you want the person reviewing to give you all the pros and cons or just pros and gloss over any bugs and or glitches

[xTonyMontana]

They are a small developer,they have slowly increased the scale and production values of their games with every single release. Lack of purpose in the world is a bit concerning but overall you are going to get bugs in a game this size and scale.

[conanlifts]

Even with GameSpot's review score it is sitting on a 91 at metacritic. In my view that still puts it in line for game of the year.

[gamer7804]

you are going to have to look elsewhere if you dont' want an agenda driven review, (stay away from polygon, kotaku and this specific gamespot review)

"I found just one message on one of the many computers I logged into that commented on how low-brow Night City culture is. The result is that there's a fetishization of trans people at every turn, in a game with only one very minor trans character (that I found, at least) and no way to play as an authentically trans character yourself."

[King_Noctis]

Have you played this yet?

[ChiefofLoliPolice]

You don't even realize that the person who wrote this review is full on SJW. I bet you didn't even read the review.

[RgR]

Witcher 1 and 2 being equally great of course....only casual gamers were wholly unaware the entire time.

Casual gamers love love witcher 3. But the rest of us know just how awesome the 1st and second were. Specifically the 1st.

[Yui_Suzumiya]

On the hand, I've never been interested in The Witcher series, but this looks amazing to me. I just don't care for medieval themed fantasy games outside of Dragon Age II and Inquisition.

[soulrebel]

Shit I didn't realise these guys did the only reviews in the world of gaming. Guess the game is shit.

[nommers]

uh oh...

[shepherdzeMan]

Gamespot the attention-seeking whores as always!

- currently rated 91 on Metacritic which proves my point

[nommers]

Give it time. There's not much mention of console versions being reviewed from what I've heard.

[generic-user-name]

Says person who hasn't played it.

[Dark_Eternal]

The Metascore is a weighted average aggregate of many diverse opinions; it doesn't "prove" anything about reviewers you hate. 😅

[Chaos_Order]

The metacritic score doesn't prove your point at all, and the fact you think it does is both hilarious and cringeworthy. Maybe the reviewer was just being, you know, honest?

Hell, if I worked for a large gaming site you can bet your ass off I'd lie through my teeth constantly and hand out 9/10 to hyped games just to keep rabid fanboys off my back. If I was to actually review games honestly I'd be called all sorts of names by the idiot masses.

I'm still massively excited for Cyberpunk, by the way. Just waiting on the PS5 version. :)

[Vx_]

Muhahaha i told you so, i called it out that this is a max 8/10 game and i got all the hate and dislike

[outsider1624]

8/10 still means its great. Why the hell would you get hate and dislike for?

[zumlauf14]

"i told you so". lmao based off one review? Currently has 91 meta. So that would mean you were wrong.

[RacerX]

This review is rushed at best, and he spends an uncomfortable amount of time complaining that there isn't enough "transgender" content... As if that's some bar we really need raised (based on the percentage of people in the world that are actually trans)...

I give this review a 4/10, and will reserve judgment for more thorough and genuine reviewers.

[mike32UK]

Are you 12? Or did you have a bet on this or something?

[Vx_]

@outsider1624 nothing wrong with an 8 but ppl are way too sensitive these days, many hoped that this is the game that will change the gaming experience forever, when in fact it’s just another open word game full of bugs and non-consistent story and gameplay.

@zumlauf14 not for long this will avrage in the 80s, as more 7s (or worse) reviews will be added.

[Redlife2g]

😂 What's wrong with an 8??

[Dragonscale]

Witcher 3 fanboys lol. So happy it got a lower than expected review score from gamespot of all sites. How very sad and spiteful purely because its not witcher 4.

[RazzerRedux]

"The incorporation of different cultures and backgrounds is wildly inconsistent, from good to inaccurate to downright offensive"

SJW

[RebelWAC]

Got to love Kallie though I mean, she tried lol she tried

[SyntheticForm]

This particular reviewer is notorious for her SJWism.

[SullysCigar]

Hate that crap - they need to keep it out of reviews.

Stick it on some lefty site where people like to whine about that stuff and just tell us if the game is fun and how it plays. Write a separate opinion piece about it (that I can ignore!) if you really feel it's so important, but just don't tarnish reviews with it!

[SyntheticForm]

I'm so tired of it and I'm tired of hearing people talking about how we "need" more people with a certain pigment, daily. Skin pigment does nothing for anyone. We don't "need" anyone with a certain pigment, but we do need good, competent people for any job whether it's in the government, the medical field, or McDonald's. People sitting around the kitchen table deciding whether to pay the gas bill or feed themselves don't give a crap how many latinas Biden puts in his cabinet.

I'm tired of people being "offended" by stupid nonsense. If you're offended, dig a hole! Dig a deep hole and just sit in it, and stop infecting everyone around you.

I had to get that out, lol. It's going to be struck, but it's honest, and I don't care.

[RazzerRedux]

@SyntheticForm

"If you're offended, dig a hole! Dig a deep hole and just sit in it, and stop infecting everyone around you."

Right there with you. These people are miserable. And they won't stop feeling miserable until the entire world is miserable. Nah....I'm not going to wallow in misery especially over a damn video game

[frostypants]

@SullysCigar man I'm a lefty and this stuff even makes me want to puke. Maybe the left has gone too far left and now I'm center? I dunno anymore. But this garbage is...well...garbage.

[SullysCigar]

^ @Frosty, same here man. It's gone way too far and pushed me centre. The left now just want everyone to conform and there's way to much policing of 'wrongthink' on the internet and social media. I can't support that kind of thing - freedom of speech is something we've rightly fought for and I'm not about to give it up.

[ANIALATOR136]

Isn't that what the left wanted? All people and cultures in one big melting pot?

[frostypants]

@ANILATOR136, that's the traditional, old school liberal portion of the left. Some of the new (very illiberal) ultra-left are...and I mean this very literally...pro-segregation. I've seen it put this way: imagine the modern political spectrum as a circle, with the top of the circle being centrism. People who go far enough left wind up going around the circle and meeting the ultra-right wing at the bottom...they're hard to tell apart aside from how they arrived there. The problem with society at the moment is the left wing portion of those crazies are not just tolerated, but encouraged, even though their rhetoric is disgusting to anyone who recognizes it for what it is.

[SmokinAces]

Those same leftist apparently also feel its their job to dictate how each culture is portrayed, even when they're not a member of said culture.

[RgR]

That is what they used to like.
.and in fact I don't think anyone was much problem with that idea...although it never really was a melting pot and what they really wanted was to make all cultures equal.

But all that is in the past now. Right now they don't want equality. They want special treatment for minorities and other "oppressed" groups. and they want to hear nothing but praise for certain races and cultures.

[frostypants]

I am so tired of this philosophy that it is OK to declare what is offensive to people, even when the speaker is NOT THOSE PEOPLE. Where does she get off saying what's offensive to them? Does she think they aren't grown-up or intelligent enough to speak for themselves? Does she speak from their perspective? People like this author don't realize that they are low-key exactly that which they claim to abhor. So toxic.

[RgR]

It's a complete lack of self awareness. We dress computers and ai becoming sled aware...yet we should really be concerned with other humans not being self aware.

[njitram2000]

Dammit, and here I though the score was lower because it was not being looked at through the overhype lens. Guess I'll have to find my down to earth reviews elsewhere.

[IanTH]

Did you read the rest of the review? I'm guessing you saw "SJW" and didn't form your own opinion by reading it, and then somehow used that as justification for ignoring the entire review? What if it is exactly what you were looking for, but it has one part in it you aren't interested in/don't agree with? How does bringing that one thing up completely negate the rest of the review? Mindboggling.

[njitram2000]

@instantstupor, I did read the whole review, yes. You're the one assuming all sorts of things about me. But this SJW crap has to stop. This is a Polish company and unlike America, the rest of the world doesn't have a problem with "cultural appropriation" because highlighting and even stereotyping of other cultures is what makes people interested in it.
If she feels a need to point out that the "incorporation of cultures is downright offensive", then she is either catering to an SJW crowd or has an SJW tinted view of the world, neither of which is appropriate in a gaming review.

[zumlauf14]

*reviewer writes something i don't agree with about diversity* "SJW!". You lot are the biggest snowflakes.

[RazzerRedux]

*poster writes something i don't agree with about a review* "You lot are the biggest snowflakes!"

I can play that game too. lol

[gerbintosh]

That one paragraph makes me question the reason why she rated it 7. Was the score due to an agenda she wanted pushed but didn't happen?

[CrimsonWing69]

Dude, I freaking knew SJWs would be knocking points off for things that trigger them.

[SmokinAces]

Takes guts to post that acronym, I remember when doing so not that long ago would get a comment marked inappropriate at the very least, maybe the mods are lightening up a bit. FYI I agree with you.

[IanTH]

Hard to imagine, given what gets up and downvoted here. This place is very comfortable labeling any-and-everything they don't agree with as "SJW". It is the easy strawman to point at which allows them to ignore anything someone says without having to spend the energy discussing the point. I've seen it used so many times here where it didn't make sense & get upvoted.

[EmperorDalek]

This invalidates the entire review.

[IanTH]

How?

[CantThinkOfAUsername]

I think you misspelled BS.

[IanTH]

I hope that's sarcasm. How is bringing that up a problem? I'll never understand people with that mentality.

Edit: Though I see that isn't the case. I cannot fathom how discussion about things is a bad thing. It's a part of the game. To some people it is important. To others, it isn't. If that's not something that has a baring on your playthrough, then ignore that section.

People talk about it like anyone who brings it up is looking to feel superior to someone else, or to earn some kind of points from an unseen panel of hipster judges. It's something they noticed during their playthrough, so they are noting it. You probably wouldn't, so you wouldn't. It's weird that people treat every piece of content has to 100% be applicable to them, even if 99% of the rest of that content - in this case the review - is still relevant. And then focus solely on the 1% that isn't applicable to them, but don't recognize the irony in being potentially offended that someone is potentially offended.

The fact that's the only thing you picked out of the whole review to talk about tells me that as much as they care about "social justice", you care more about "anti-social justice". So what makes you any different from her? She expresses her opinion. You express yours. Except people with your opinion tend to simply be "shut up, I don't want to hear your opinion, I'm tired of it", rather than having any real discussion of substance to the topic at hand, or the reason for not wanting to hear about it. "It annoys me because I find it inconvenient" isn't a particularly great justification.

[RazzerRedux]

This reviewer is known for her SJW stances and I'm pointing that out in a concrete example. It is relevant and it affected her review and its score. If you don't think so fine.

Note. Not once did I say "shut up, I don't want to hear your opinion, I'm tired of it". I also didn't say "It annoys me because I find it inconvenient". You made all that bullshit up. Talk about straw man.

So you are are bitching about me summarizing that review as SJW when you just made up a bunch of shit I didn't say at all. So yeah.....your opinion is pretty much worthless when you have to generate fictional arguments to make a point. I'll just disregard your posts.

[RgR]

This alone should make the review invalid.
Political ideologies holds no place in video game reviews...at least not in a credible way.

Due to the popularity of gamespot and how metacritic values certain sites more than others. This low review will have probably affected the score way more than it should have otherwise....and so it would probably be standing with a higher score right now.

[RPGer]

I am not that excited to the game, I have a lot of concerns for developers choices like fps, calling this an RPG, although it is pure shooter with points and leveling system 'fallout', etc...

But this very precise SJW point of view is very aweful and disgusting. Actually it is very distributing to know that such people exist in the gaming community, or in any. Hope these kind of people focus on hollywood and just do their things their and just use Hollywood to dumb them their with all their nonsense.

Criticize the damn game, you people are fake and non of view criticsized MW2 for that Russia mission, if it other than Russian you would be now crying loud. Such hypocrisy it very pathetic.

[Bobertt]

Most of the big game review sites are full of fake SJW journalists now and they don't like that CD Project Red isn't pandering to them. Most of the more level headed reviewers on youtube who have played it say it's amazing but full of bugs which will hopefully be fixed with the day one patch.

[boing1]

I'm getting my popcorn ready! It's going to get hot in herre!

[Tedakin]

Everyone is giving it 9s. Gamespot seems to always score below everyone else for shock value.

[Shiore2u]

Who's everyone?

[Tedakin]

... other websites? It's sitting at a 90 on metacritic right now.

[Games1st]

91 metascore from 44 sites

[Redemption-64]

I belive that us for the PC version only. Consoles don't yet have a rating yet.

I did find what IGN said very interesting, that they are not allowed to show footage of the problems in the game due to CD project red's pre-release restrictions.

[Tedakin]

I just want to see what it looks like on Xbox One S......

[SDuck]

Isn't that normal though? I think it would be unfair if reviewers would go "hey, look at this night club full of NPCs T-posing", bringing down a game that has not been polished. Not saying day 1 patch will fix all those bugs but i trust it will fix most of them

[nommers]

I would give it time. There's usually an influx of initial positive reviews and IIRC there's a lot of usual suspects. From what I gathered most were playing on PC with great settings too. Gotta see how the console versions are going to do.

[FantasticBoss]

Honestly I think it's healthy to have some reviewers that are less into a game. If they find something about it they don't like then that may be relevant for others. It's ok to have reviews that stand out from the pack. diversity in opinions means people can better get a sense for what the game is and whether or not it is for them.

[monkey602]

Thats a great way of looking at it 👍

Like that Japanese site/magazine (is it fumitsu?) That averages 4 different reviewer scores. I like the way that works.

I remember playstation magazine once upon a time had a "second opinion" column that shared someone else's thoughts on it.

[enkiduxiv]

Exactly. I just don’t understand people who hate on a review that doesn’t give a game a perfect score.

Those reviewers usually drive the industry to do better, well maybe not EA, but just about everyone else.

[Outlawzz]

Yea I barely ever agree with gamespot reviews. I guess I don't share the same game tastes as most of the reviewers.

[TGGJustin]

The game is full of bugs and shouldn't even be getting 10's and 9's. Just wait until you hear how it is on consoles. There is a reason they haven't sent those out to anyone yet.

[SullysCigar]

I heard there was some cloak and dagger nonsense about what can be spoken of and when. That's not okay with me, unless it's to protect story spoilers. It just makes me think something's up.

This game was already delayed - if it wasn't ready for full and honest reviews, including how technically sound it is (or isn't in this case), then it wasn't delayed enough. Reviews should tell us how it is NOW, not ignore problems on the promise of 'day 1' patches.

[outsider1624]

Jesus! I even saw a video if it.. don't know if it is indeed CdP2077 or not. I mean did look like one and man.. it was horrible. The driving, the collisions, the ai.

I just hope im wrong.

[FantasticBoss]

SullysCigar, it's pretty common for reviewers to get various topics they aren't allowed to discuss. In the vast majority of cases it's spoiler related. I can't speak for Cyberpunk specifically, but the existence of such rules on their own isn't a reason for much suspicion.

[blackblades]

Yeah, so far I'm seeing perfect scores and a 9 from ign. Pcmag gave it a 5/10 so these 2 have the lowest scores.

[nommers]

In Opencritic there's a lot of unscored reviews that are not so favorable.

[masterfox]

Here we gooooo.

[Redemption-64]

Well, the comments should get very interesting. Going to get a drink

[PhantomX02]

They hate everything you the fans like or love...

[FantasticBoss]

I feel like no matter how great this game is, no game can hold up to the amount of hype it's received. It's only going to hurt it's reception. I've seen enough impressions to know that the games strengths seem to be it's world and writing, and the combat is a bit of the less good side, particularly compared to current AAA dedicated shooters like your COD's and what not.

I'm still excited, but I'm trying real hard not to get over hyped.

[-Foxtrot]

Can we all just appreciate the fact he mentioned the bugs

He could have just glided over them but he didn't

I'm sure it's a good game but you'd be surprised how some people will just dish out perfect scores when a game is buggy at launch.

[yeahokwhatever]

every game is buggy at launch..

[-Foxtrot]

That's not an excuse and the fact is, the games which do have them, reviewers don't say anything if it's a hyped up game or comes from a studio/company they don't want to burn bridges with for whatever reason.

[yeahokwhatever]

its an observation, not an excuse. Got my PS5 on launch, Dirt 5 crashed every 30 minutes or so the first week I had it. Call of duty crashed more often than that. It seems kind of stable now.

[generic-user-name]

False. Kojima games are always immaculately polished day 1, as are Naughty Dog titles.

[Redemption-64]

According to IGN they are not allowed to show them, due to CD project red's pre-release restrictions. I am honestly surprised they would do that. I am buying the game, but I am not going to play it right away, going to wait for a few batches.

[gleepot]

Kallie Plagge is a woman.

[SullysCigar]

Until she decides they isn't - it is 2020, after all..

[FantasticBoss]

I feel like with significant day 1 patch coming up we can at least hope that bugs will be less of an issue at the actual launch., Always worth mentioning them in the reviews, but ultimately final build may be better in that regard.

Only time will tell.

[TGGJustin]

These reviews were played with the Day 1 patch. Nothing is changing come Thursday.

[Pughski]

CPR already announced there will be a day 1 patch update addressing the bugs.

[-Foxtrot]

And? Days Gone didn't get that luxury did it

They had a patch, the reviewers played without it, they called it out.

[Thundercat77]

The game it's getting 9s and 10s... This is the only 7 score reviews I have seen so far and 7 is still good.

[cartoonx1]

it also mentions bugs and crashes often, with these bugs it cant be 9s and 10s.

[SullysCigar]

There is a 5/10, a bunch of 7s and lots that don't do scores.

What's interesting is that the ones that don't do scores tend to be more honest about the issues with the game, presumably because they're not worrying about how to reconcile their words with the score they want to give it.

[Pughski]

There's a day 1 patch that fixes/addresses bugs

[UncertainCategory]

Gamespot very consistently reviews high profile games lower than the rest of the pack.

[greywolf39]

This was obvious from the get go. This was nowhere near Witcher games. When you look the gameplay you only fool yourserlf for thinking it is 10/10. It was way too overhyped. Just seeing some say the year cyberpunk comes out is a bad year for other big releases... Esp for TLOUP2. What do they say now? Put it in GOTY category, see how it will do heh...

[FullmetalRoyale]

Right, because TLoU Part II didn't have ANY negative feedback prior to launch...

[pingthing]

This was the first review I came across. Seems to be a little harsh compared to the reviews I read afterwards.🤷‍♂️

[gleepot]

That's because other reviewers are in denial.

[AnnaDea]

When SJW reviews games. Good thing is to actually read the review and see what their thoughts and arguments are,

[Artemidorus]

Author didn't really have any bad to say other than the bugs, also pointed out they didn't have time to do as much as they wanted.

[StarkR3ality]

Everyone other than this woman has nothing but praise for it? Saw that she mentioned the way other cultures are protrayed and I stopped reading.

Get someone else to do the review please, sounds like this woman just enjoys playing Animal crossing or some shit.

[AsunaYuukiTheFlash]

I'll pass on this one.

[chaoticsoulxx]

lol, it looks like a great game, don't get it, i'm sure you will be missing out.

[Petebloodyonion]

Gamespot usually give super hype game a lower score compared to other media
Spiderman man Miles and Gears 5 both scored 7
Tlou2 scored 8
etc...

Somehow I think they want to shake that reputation about inflating score of highly advertize game on their sites

[chaoticsoulxx]

If i play this game and its an obvious 9/10, ill never trust gamespot again, =D

[Obelisk92]

I hate Kallie Plagge. Her writing style is hideous.
Also she usually dislikes the games I like because there are more white male than blacks or something like that.

[Muigi]

Gamespot also gave Ghost of Tsushima a 7...according to them Assassins Creed is better than both of these games.

[Pughski]

Do people actually take Gamespot reviews seriously?

[Father__Merrin]

yep just watched the ign i think they only gave it 9 because of gaining favours it looks like a buggy mess to me, im going to pass hopefully its discounted soon or released at a lower price on ps5 when next gen version is out. cant wait to see the pc v ps5 version of this game

[Jayrod]

The content and length of this game deserves a better overall review 7 is below average I wouldn’t trust gamespot reviews

[enkiduxiv]

Most of the negative reviews seem to relate to bugginess. It’s sounds like it is still a very well-crafted rpg that just needs a few patches. That’s not that surprising really since no one was letting them get away with Crunch this time round.

[Drithe]

100 percent of all these naysayers are from Naughty Dog, Making sure no hype gets bigger than the last of us. lol

[JayRyu]

So once they patch the game on PC and they upgrade the visuals next month for Series and the PS5 will it get a 9?

The game looks Awesome and I will be getting it Day one

[SmokinAces]

Bravo gamespot, attention received

[anast]

The writer got me hooked with the "lack of purpose" comment, but then goes down the identity politics hole....a low brow and low hanging article.

[PCgamer98]

I still remember how buggy vanilla witcher 3 was as well and it also took a while before a lot of issues was fixed. I also suggest watching yongyea's cyberpunk review because it's pretty well done.

[Darkborn]

I still think this game should have either released last year or next year. It would have been a great last gen game or a great solely current gen game and not last gen at all to truly push the boundaries.

[mafiahajeri]

Lmao I knew it was all hype, so much for Keanu Reeves endorsement

[ajax17]

i don't trust anyone with their pronouns in the twitter profile

[mudakoshaka]

I don't wanna be sexist, but very few girls play video games. So if I want a proper opinion on a game, I will ask a man since it men who are the VAST majority who play games and understand them. Just like I would go to a male mechanic. Men love cars more than women, and understand cars better. That isn't to say that there might not be a female mechanic, but I would rather go to a man since 99% of mechanics will be male, and therefore better at this particular job...just like with games.

[waverider]

They should delayed the game for more time. Its not ready. Scared of the console version if it got problems to run with a 3080...

[maelstromb]

I can't possibly buy into any review that has dropped at this point. These people are not playing the release version w/ day one updates which fixes some of the major bugs referenced in these reviews. Beyond that, I can't buy in b/c there's NO conceivable way these people took their time and were able to see the entirety of the game in such a short span of time. Period. What these reviews represent are snapshots of a *portion* of the game. The game WILL be improved through day one and further fixes and content updates, which by the way, will ALL be FREE. For those bitching about the bugs found in the current game, I have only one thing to say to you all: Look at EVERY Bethesda game ever released. Yeah...

[InUrFoxHole]

91

[GamerBeast1982]

Meah don't care if it scored a 1/10 ive been waiting 8 years for this. And my PS5 is already for it come Thursday.

[Harkins1721]

Not enough Trans! 7/10!

[esherwood]

Honestly the fact that she doesn’t like it means I probably will, she’s a moron and by all acounts a genuinely bad person

[DafunkyRebel]

man these rage bait woke journalist are hard at work trying to destroy this game meanwhile trustworthy nonbias reviews are saying it's actually good, buggy and in need of more work but still very good.

[TechnoGoat]

it's sitting at a 91 on metacritic. I would say the hype is justified, but not everyone is gonna like it.. oh well play what you like, don't play what you don't like. It's simple.

[WeMissedTheExit]

"Cyberpunk 2077 has too much water" Gamespot reviewer

[RgR]

This game like some others will be pushed down due to not having a certain political agenda in its game.

In other words. Not transgender or homosexually inclusive as they would like. Which of course is entirely stupid and without any actual consequence.

I'm not bothering to read the review. Some comments below clearly state the obvious issues with its integrity and honesty.

[Pughski]

Lmao @ the people taking this review seriously when she didn't do any side quests, didn't craft or upgrade equipment and she's just a idiot.

[jipjoran]

did you read the review?
"Side quests amounted to around 35 hours of my total playtime, and they were what propelled me through."

[garos82]

did you check out streams of her talking about the game? i very doubt she played much of the game

[Android]

She said the in-game items are expense...Then practically admits she had to rush the game...Then she said there's plenty of money making missions to do...

If she had the time the issue of expense wouldn't exist. Other complaints are not needing to upgrade using crafting system. She admits there's so many things to buy but declared them unessential. I'm sorry but she doesn't strike me as somebody who favours immersion.

[lellkay]

Same reviewer gave sword and shield 9/10 and Valhalla 9/10.

So... yeah....

[343_Guilty_Spark]

Is 7 like the default score for good games at Gamespot? I dont remember being this hyper critical in the 90s.

[GreenDragonCVR]

"Too much water in pokemon" lady is back to tell us that transhumanism and commodification of our bodies isn't REALLY what cyber punk is about. Let's complain the game lacks talk about REAL interesting cyberpunk-y things, like "labeling the other", "diaspora" and "losing a home" (you know, just the "humanism" part; all that technology, late-stage capitalism and dystopia are really just superficial window dressing acc to reviewer).

How dear gawd is this person still anywhere near "professional" video game "journalism"?

[Hitman007]

People should play for themselves every moron Reviewer has there own opinion look at Ubisoft game lately some give them a 9 some gave them a 2 just goes to show that reviews are made bye people with half a braincell that cant hold real jobs 💩💩💩
28169;💩

[sackclothsamuel]

This review just sold me on the game! Thanks!

[jonivtec]

They hype the game to soon...on purpose for sure but still....little more time to polish would have be better for sure.No matther what i'll play the hell out of it...bug or not....imagine if they would have released the game on november 19.....i assume the game was barely playable at this point.

[Stanjara]

She rushed the game and didn't go through customisation of anything.
Too much water chic went from ign to gamespot and got to review the most desirable game at this moment?
What?

[esherwood]

Honestly she does this crap for attention. She could care less about how many people put there blood sweat and tears into something like this and will shoot it down for the simple fact she’s and idiot that likes attention. When’s the last time you heard of her mentioned for something positive?
