Some people put too much stock into reviews. The average of 91, especially nowadays when not many games break that threshold, is an excellent score. Besides, does it really matter that CP2077 isn't couple of points higher on Metacritic? It's still, probably, a great albeit flawed game that is only going to get better with the upcoming patches.

But maybe I'm the weird one as I enjoyed the F out of Alpha Protocol and Fallout New Vegas (84% on MC? What a trash, right?).
Honestly that score is incredible considering the amount of bugs this game has. It sounds like it would have been a masterpiece with a few extra months in the oven.

And that's the problem. We need to know that she is trans! Heck we need signs on all females in the game to see who's tranny, and who we need to kill!

We need to retroactively define the gender pronouns of EVERY videogame protagonist and NPC. Just imagine how many of them never had the chance to come out simply because of the rampant hate and bigotry of each and every gamer out there.

The recommended percentage is the real one to look at. 97% recommendation is very high - at the moment higher than TW3.

To shut down discussion, hype and fun for Cyberpunk 2077 on ResetEra.

I've just had a quick look over there and its absolutely crazy. Almost at parody levels. Amazes me it's so popular under those conditions. It's just not representative of any real world I know. I wonder how many actually genuinely enjoy playing games because they seem to hate nearly everything about it and the only passion I can see is them tearing other people and (each other) down while drunk on their own righteousness.

Glad to have you here :D

I posted in your topics for Cyberpunk back on Resetera. I would say that I'm shocked at what happened, but for a long time I was starting to feel like Resetera was not a very good place.

These cunts are a danger to themselves and society....seriously fucking disturbed set of individuals

I'm more surprised that this cult still has members when you think about what an echo chamber it is. If someone doesn't have the agenda of hating white enough or not having added enough blacks in their tranny gangbang, you'd be insta banned.

You have to be offensive, have to hate anything white related, and suck tranny dick on regular basis to keep your mental illness status.

The score probably remains same-ish. 1 points up or down, I reckon. Maybe even 93.

Have in mind that game is very buggy and some reviews are politicized nonsense, so getting a 91 meta is not bad at all.
Read the review don’t care about some numbers. Sure it would’ve been nice to see it score higher but it is what it is. Heavily recommending the IGN Japan piece. Brilliant stuff.

Why’d they ban you at ERA?
Friend let the man breathe, how many times should he and other members give TL;DR

It doesn’t matter why he was banned anymore. Old news
Fuck Era don’t obsess over it.

I’m sure he wants to slowly distance himself from nonsense and get back to the main topic here, Cyberpunk.
This thread is about CP reviews, other topics have their own dedicated threads.

Anyways I’m sure you know why he was banned.
Please, If you want more more juice, here:

Getting solid reviews.

Either it's game site BS to protect their business interests with CDR, or the game is much better than those shitty leaked videos people uploaded the past week.

We'll see. I'll try it out at some point myself. But unless patches really tidy up the game, those leaked streams showed a really sloppy looking game. Maybe the 47gb patch really perked it up.

The review average right now is basically at Witcher 3's level so honestly the game is reviewing extremely well. I hope it stays that way, but very positive signs right now. If it's 90+, at the end of the day that's a great success. That's hard to get now-a-days.

If anything, CDPR will patch this motherfucker until it plays/runs without issue. I would also not put it past them to offer substantial expansions, just like The Witcher 3.

Folks shouldn't worry so much about the bugs unless they are seriously game breaking.

Am i taking crazy pills or does this complaint from the gamspot review actually sound fantastic?



shouldnt we want an open world game to be more dynamic?

At the rate we're going, I don't know why that reviewer would expect communication technology and advertising to not be that intrusive fifty seven years from now.

I agree that generally speaking people put too much stock in to reviews (I include myself in that camp)

With Cyberpunk 2077 I think it is elevated from the sheer hype surrounding this game. It has been a shitty year, and people are eagerly anticipating this game, and are looking for validation that we didn't put all of our eggs in the wrong basket.

Im going to wait for a few patches before i dive in. But on the review front, if it holds steady above 90, Id say CDPR succeded in the sense that most gaming outlets and forums had it out for them. I'm curious what the ultimate user review scores will be on Steam and metacritic. Also progressive outlets scores should be shot into the sun.

Honestly, after 8 years I was thinking it would be the greatest thing ever!!! But I'll see what others think of it before I purchase this game. This game just didn't stick out for me like the Witcher 3 did.

God this is so weird. I've never ever seen such doom and gloom for a game above a 90 on Metacritic. Is this real life? Like I get it, the game's buggy, and that's bullshit. But if that's the biggest and most common gripe, then at least it's a problem that will get fixed in the future.

We all knew based on the leaked footage and the delays that the game was going to have a lot of bugs and technical issues. But the fact that it has those things, yet still manages (so far) to stay about 90 on MC, is a testament to how good the game is. Also I could give two shits if it doesn't crack to the mid 90s on MC. Witcher 3 is at a 92, and so many people absolutely treasure that game, and it's often lauded as one of if not the best game of the generation.

Yeah idk why my Sony fans are flustered. I mean, cyberpunk is on playstation & cd Projekt red failed to even make top 5 of the year despite:

  • 350 million budget
  • Exotic crunch,
  • Edgy & cocky marketing
  • twitter d*ck-waving cockiness about how good cd are and are top tier
  • 3 delays
  • 8 years of development.
  • Influencer hype

this is straight up delusional. the game has a 91 on metacritic and you are trashing it because it didnt make some arbitrary top 5 list because it fell a total of 2 points short of the 5th game on this list?

BTW, and this is kind of important when posting lists like this, surely you know that 3 of those games are LAST year's remakes or re-releases and 2 of them are literally the same game on a different platform. take out those 4 games and its tied to Flight Simulator for the 5th place.

what nonsense.

It's fine if someone is so obsessed with gender politics that it's a big part of their review. I just would hope that's reserved for twitter rants and tumblr blogs rather than "mainstream" sites who never used to be so one track minded and ideologically quirky.
Eurogamer is another site that has become increasingly wokified over the past year or so. Used to be a great site for technical stuff and detailed game reviews, now it's full of articles about crap like this and they'll shadowban anyone who dares contradict their view in the comments sections. And shadowbanning is the lowest of the low; done by cowardly mods who think it's clever. Eurogamer is ERA-lite these days, and it's a real shame.

Just watched this. They do seem a lot harsher on most games usually.

And honestly idk if I am gonna like it:

- Excessive bugs
- Uncreative edgy dirty shock
- value things in the world but without meaningful commentary behind it
- Lots of dialogue/writing is unnatural, coming straight out a translator
- Lots of the side content is just meaningless people just calling you up to do a chore
- NPCs lack depth, often times all just saying the same lines doing the same things

What's good is the main quests are good.

The problem seems to go far beyond bugs. Did you watch the Giant Bomb video above ? They say the writing isn't good and sentences feel off, the quests aren't appealing, the game is just trying to be a GTA like... It's really hype deflating for people who thought it would be on Witcher 3 level or above. It just looks kinda average. I didn't cancel my preorder but I'm a bit disappointed.

that sums it up right there

it's like they're all trying to win a purity trophy of wokeness, anything less than supremely woke is scum

Also, on topic, does anyone know if the "next-gen" patch coming in Spring 2021 is a big one/worth waiting for? I can't find a single article online that can offer any real insight.

Definitely disappointing about the bugs. I'll probably still get it on day 1. It's like my most anticipated game since Witcher 3 so why not.

Dude that's one guy's opinion. The majority of opinions on the game have ranged from very positive to glowing.

I feel like this will be a situation where the DLCs will surpass the base game just like TW3. Bugs will be fixed by then. All the fundamental assets are in place, hopefully meaning workflow will be more streamlined. Player feedback will be taken into consideration.

Not to say the base game will be an unenjoyable experience. But I think what I envisioned this game to be will be more accurately realized towards the end of 2021.

I know but I expected more from the guys who made The Witcher 3 after all this time. Driving is apparently barely usable, it's a FPS slideshow. People on the street repeat the same sentences, you can't enter the buildings. You've got a star system for police like in GTA. It doesn't look deep at all. They say you don't need the perks and customization because you can kill everybody easily with the guns you found or even with melee. AI is apparently braindead too.

When I hear that I have trouble understanding how the game still got 90 metacritic actually... I thought it was supposed to be an evolution of open world games, not a rehashed mix of existing open world games. It looks completely overhyped at this point.

I hope those Giant Bomb guys are wrong.

and yet many of these losers will buy the game and enjoy the fuck out of it. small penises know no boundaries

I'm tempted to pull the trigger on a $2600 PC build just fo this game :messenger_grinning_sweat: . I feel like I would regret it, as it feels like big PC hardware changes are on the horizon...

Guys guys guys, check out the review thread on Era. They're only allowing negative reviews and it's fucking hilarious. Maybe I'm getting too old ( I'm 27 jesus fucking Christ) but this is world is starting to scare me
