Cyberpunk 2077 bugs and glitches were the subject of many hate videos like from the ActMan and other analysis why the game had many faults and the problems with cyberpunk 2077. But the truth is cyberpunk 2077 in 2022 and even cyberpunk 2077 at release is and was an amazing rpg role playing action adventure story driven video game. Cyberpunk 2077 gamers fell for a lie and here is a defense of cyberpunk 2077 that is deserves because the game is much better than many people make it seem.

Over 60 crashes on my first playthrough isn't a nitpick. The last time I played it, 50% of the NPCs in V's building were the groupie that Johnny meets in his first appearance, that also appears in the montage at the beginning. I loved the story and the characters, but playing it on PS4 was not a great experience. For instance cars would fall from the sky, I would walk up to characters and they'd be a blurred shape that slowly loads into a person. The simplistic NPC and Traffic A.I. is a fact, not an opinion I got from the internet or based on hate. Comparing the demo to the finished game doesn't take into account the finished game gets buggier after the early sections where some people might even stop playing thinking there's nothing wrong with it. Also it's not what the demo shows , but what it claims in it's narration that is inexcusable. After Johnny's exciting introduction, the choices begin to lessen and the game becomes increasingly linear and less polished. Just because the game is better than many say it is, doesn't mean it was as good as CDPR promised. A mistranslated article is a cherry picked example that most people haven't even seen. Several, now well recognized developers attended E3 and did interviews in which they knowingly lied and exaggerated, Pawel Sasko is still lying to this day in his constant attempt at damage control aimed at sycophants and fawners. He promised, in his playthrough, that there will be an equal amount of extra content in Cyberpunk 2077 as there had been in "The Witcher 3", which had 16 free DLCs and two paid expansions. Also fiddling about with a game isn't the same as fixing it, it remains an unfixed mess, soon to be forgotten on PS4.
So misleading or lying, gamescon trailer CDPR did mislead us and they did it to push sales. and a lot of us did watch gamecon and this is not a RPG that they said it was all most up tell the M it came out. What we got is not what they marketed to us. IT was a fun game but they still were misleading for greed
I think your assumption of why people dislike this game are wrong. You mentioned the reason in the video but then glossed over it very quickly. The condition in which the game came out was awful to the amount of time it was first mentioned, being developed and then marketed as something which was incomplete. The game should never have been made for last gen consoles. The game failed to run smooth even on high powered gaming PCs. The Cyberpunk merchandise was more important to advertise to make money but the product came out shit.
Changes in the game to the original idea ain't the problem, the problem is the game is flawed. This game doesn't even have intelligent enough driving AI to manoeuvre around your parked car on the side of the road. That's how cheap the open world is. CD Project Red dug there own hole when they called this the next generation in open world games. GTA4 has more NPC AI intelligence in it's game, something made for the PS3. And not only did CD Project Red overhype their product, gaming media did the same. Those Night City episodes which came out to market the game hardly showed anything substantial just a lot of talking with no showing. There have been other games which came out being a disaster in terms of the way they played. But none has ever been marketed and hyped like Cyberpunk 2077. Before it was the players hyping the game before E3 2019. But after the second Cyberpunk showing at E3 where they gave the April release date CD Project Red hyped the game themselves. But it was never in a playable state and is still simply not good enough to be called the next generation in open world games.
I played CP2077 at launch on a base PS4. I followed the marketing, and went in expecting open world Deus Ex (not a fan of GTA so I was never expecting that). I had a great and relatively smooth experience and absolutely loved the game. The hate and reaction to the game absolutely was overblown. If anything, I hope both gamers and the industry learn from this shitshow, especially now that a lot of people are giving the game another chance and loving it.

Man, thanks for this video
Man this video hit me a little harder than I expected. I was on that hype train for years and when the game came out, I was ready for the greatest game of this generation.
During the lead up to release, a year or so prior, CDPR said the game was being made for PS4, X1 and PC. That was expected because, at the time, that was all anyone had. The PS5 was on its way, sure, but development had already begun on current gen. I wasn't too worried. I'd played games like Uncharted 4, HZD, RDR2, Detroit, Hitman, and they all looked great on my PS4, even though it was all running at 30fps.
Of course, the doubters came in droves saying the game will look like booty flakes on current gen. I thought back to the other superb games I'd played and tried to ignore those comments. Then CDPR came out and said, "The game runs surprisingly well on current gen." I thought, ah there it is. I've got nothing to stress about. PS4 gameplay was released and I was totally sold.
There were rumors spreading that the game wasn't ready and the journalist taking the lead on that story seemed to relish that fact, in my eyes. That was the only thing that scared me. But then CDPR said the game would get a day-one patch and I thought that would be the one to clean things up. I tried to stay calm.
On release day, I've taken care of work, I'm sitting with my feet up watching the countdown. The game boots up. The music seized my soul from the jump. I'd decided to choose the corpo life path months prior so I went with that.
Then the cracks started to show.
The character creator looked…off. The textures weren't all there. There was grainyness everywhere and the lighting made all the colours weird (white hair looked greenish, for example). I tried to look past that and have some fun designing V. I think I spent about an hour doing that. I was still in awe that I was finally playing cyberpunk after all this time.
After that, the intro begins and my first thought was: this game looks bad. Grainy visuals, ghosting and sub 30fps. The clarity of those visuals was so bad I thought my actual eyes were deteriorating. All the other games I'd played never looked like that. I had to check the back of my TV and my display settings to confirm I was actually playing at the usual 1080p 30fps. I had to ruin my immersion by pausing in the middle of things to see what the hell was wrong with the game's default settings.
The game didn't look much better but at least I could still play, the audio was perfect and I could see what was happening. I was loving it, all things considered.
Then the game crashed. The first time.
Performance wise, the game took a nosedive. I wasn't fuming. I didn't go shit on the game online. I didn't scream for a refund. I was just very disappointed. I realised, as a last gen console player without a decent PC, I was fucked. CPDR lied. I watched the company's reputation blaze in front of my teary eyes.
And you know what? I still played the game. I'd waited so long, preordered for the first time in my life, that I had to squeeze the value of the insane hype and the money I spent out of the game.
I lived through every patch since December, played through the ugly, unprovoked bugs (getting stuck, falling through the floor etc), laughed at some of the funny ones, used the exploits (like the lovely double perk shard and the infinite money glitch), witnessed and reported 100+ crashes (and even noticed certain actions could cause a guaranteed crash) and through about 250 hours, I kept searching for the game I was hyped for.
Yes, I wouldn't have played the game that long if I hated it. I truly loved it like no other game. I loved the Yaiba. I loved my netrunner knife build. I planned out future builds while I was at work. I watch videos that showed where to find all the secret legendary clothing. I had about 15 save files with varying hours; some build worked, others were too buggy, others weren't that great. The file with most hours had close to 90 hours I think (Street kid V with a neurotoxin knife). I played female V and never looked back. Her VA was phenomenal. I took many many screenshots and joined Low Sodium Cyberpunk in its early days just so I could avoid the overwhelming negativity. I had a lot of fun, surprisingly.
But I knew I got a raw deal by buying the game on the console it was developed for since the beginning. The whole experience left me jaded and disgruntled. CDPR lied and cheated me when I trusted them enough to preorder, something I did for the first and last time in my life. There'd be days where I'd uninstall the game out of rage when it crashed for the 10th time, only to download it again (over about 8 hours) because I missed it. It was a love hate relationship that eventually had to end. I was tired of playing a broken game. DLCs were far away, patches came in drips and the game only improved in small increments. Last gen was a bad joke. I uninstalled the game for the last time.
I was there from day one on PS4 slim. Never once played the game on next gen or PC.
I loved Cyberpunk and I hated it too. It hurts to hear that CDPR is already moving on to Witcher 4 on Unreal Engine. I wonder if the game will have a long future. I've heard that there's one DLC in the pipes but nothing else. I don't play but I keep still keep up with the news. Sigh.
One day I'll come home again. I hope there will be something left.
Thanks for this video. Woke something up inside me that I had to release. If you've read my comment up to here, thanks for listening to a washed up fan, choom.
This game is awesome!!! I am sorry but i love it… and the bugs in the beginning are expected in any game you buy that is brand new.. they have patched and its a great game
Well, the game got a bad reputation mostly because of its disastrous launch on consoles. It is not an accident that PS took them off the shelves, they didn't do it out of fun. Also, they are constantly working on it to fix it. So the critics do have a point
Great video . The most annoying part of the criticism was the absurd focus on meaningless things. I mean people were saying the game was terrible because water physics weren’t good, as if that’s what we measure games by, and not the combat, story, characters, etc…
Thank god for this video ….yeah it definitely some terrible issues at launch but this game is beautiful …. anywhere you walk around that city you can catch life from a far in your peripheral vision , that attention to detail isn’t common ✨
I was with you. Then you said "supposevly." Multiple times. D:
This game is a gem to own. I enjoy so much of
CyberPunk 2077 on my Xbox Series X. From amazing luxury apartments to unique gigs. The Beautiful voice of Cherami Leigh. All the characters to many who feel like true love to feelings of real friendship. Netrunning is poetically.
I stayed away from info as the game got closer to release. I would watch trailers and game play, sure, but I never got to the fever pitch of hype that I saw on the Reddit. I got the PS4 version and was disappointed in it, but I never got a refund because all the cool physical stuff it included. I did play this on PC. My Wife picked this up as well and played it for nearly 400 HOURS, I played for a good chunk as well. We ran into NO bugs during this as well. And it seems like anytime Cyberpunk is mentioned, it's always followed with hate, or any publication would only report on the negatives that just wasn't there to farm clicks.
And the Reddit was awful as well! Every post was filled with people wanting this to be GTA 6! "GTA 5 does this better and GTA 5 did this well and GTA 5 did this thing with ease and it came out 5 years ago, Mike Pondsmith liked GTA 5 and said it was a great Cyberpunk story" Motherfuckers, go play GTA 5 then and stop jerking off for GTA 6! Loads of people just wanted a new Grand Theft Auto and ran to Cyberpunk thinking it would be that, hell they got mad about not being able to steal cars effectively! I played Cyberpunk 2020 TTRPG, the whole fucking point of the game is to not go on killing sprees and stealing cars left and right (Unless your Referee wants that) and to go on heists and stick it to Corpo rats!
Now it seems more people are starting to play the game and realize they just listened to the hate and not seen if the hate was warranted. I've seen a few posts like this on the LowSodiumCyberpunk Reddit where people came in and confessed they got swept up in the hype thinking it was a new GTA and only listened to the hate when it came out. This is definitely a love letter to the Cyberpunk Table Top and plays like you're in a single player campaign. Also the music is banging as well, people keep forgetting how good the music is on the Radio Stations
Oh man, I remember following ths game since the very first reveal TEASER (the one with the woman with the mantis blades getting shot at in the middle of the street), and then seeing a lot of people coming out of nowhere saying that there where missing features that where promised and me thinking "what the hell are you talking about? where did you all get this info from? You all weren't even in the forums all this time". Just a bunch of dumb people parroting other dumb people. I loved this game since it came out. My only complain is that it could have done with more sidequests that had npcs and more variety in the world building and storytelling, instead of just giving the information through shards. I mean, everything that you read has the shard UI, which is bland. At least the messages shoud have gotten a phone UI.
Best thing I ever did in regards to Cyberpunk 2077 was probably not following the hype train. Back when it was announced, all I needed was to know 3 things: what was it about, who made it, and when was it gonna be released. The name gives the theme off, and I love the dystopian, ultra-technological, futuristic theme. I had never played CDPR games back then, but always heard only good things about them. Since they said that it was gonna be released when it was "ready", I just sorta forgot about it until it came back into the limelight.
Probably my favorite game of the last 6 years, got all the achievements on my Xbox Series S, spent over 400hrs in Night City. 60 bucks well spent, probably got overly attached to some of the characters.
Loved the video, subscribed too.
Thank you, Thank you sir for a refreshing change in a review of this game. I've watched many of the reviews referenced and wondered what their problem was when I would comment would either get trashed or ignored for my comment. I have played this game since it's release and have over 1300 hours game play in it. This is the ONLY game that I have invested this much time in. I will buy and download other games and will come back to this before even finishing the game. I have always played on PC and a decent one, not top of line, but good one. The only issues I had in the game were some glitches that were comical more than anything and in no way a game stopper. So yes I do love this game and it has only gotten better with time and I hope that it continues to get better.
Ah. You are one of those.
You're videos are truly incredible, not to mention how great your editing is. That intro? Gawd Dayum. You're scripts are also on point, grabbing my attention from right from the start. You're seriously one of the greatest channels I've discovered in recent years.
I will say though, I somewhat disagree about some of the things you talked about.
For stuff like the UI change at ripper docs, I still stand by the pre release look. I agree that the current build is better in terms of actual gameplay, but I feel like Cyberpunk has always been about immersion. The little things like that help a lot in making the world feel much immersive.
I also wish they'd kept the up close hacking animation, and the Monowire being able to hack. It would have given the hacking gameplay loop more variety.
Anyways…Looking forwards to what you come up with once Starfield comes out, and hope someday you get the recognition you deserve.
100000%
Just got the game yesterday, it’s pretty cool but I’m sad i can’t be a corporate white collared criminal.
i formed my own opinion, i watched all the Night City Wire episodes, i preordered the game, and played it for 200h+ with all the bugs on PC. It's not the game that they sold in those NCW videos, and not what they said, and i will never forgive CDPR for that. Now, is this the worst game ? ofc not, is it a great game ? putting all my drama aside, it's still not a great game if i'm being honest, even with Witcher 3 when i started getting to the end, the story became worse, it felt rushed, could've been a 10/10 but it's a 8/10 for me, Cyberpunk 2077 though, it's a solid 6/10, it's hard to follow the main story, and it's not that great, the open world is lacking, the romances are few, the overall vibe is kind of boring. It's a game that it's all over the place but with HUGE potential, but potential doesn't equal finished product. Very immersive, with some very good side missions but those are few, however anyone wants to spin the reality, ain't gonna work, Cyberpunk 2077 it's not a great game, maybe with this new expansion they will fix at least some story elements in the game so that everything makes sense. That being said, it's a must play if you are a fan of the Cyberpunk Genre.
I agree with your message and I love the game a LOT, but I don’t agree about the impact of the changes/downgrades. They did promise us one thing and gave us another, let’s not act like they didn’t.
Wholeheartedly agree. I had it playing very well on release (PC) and it was everything I expected. And you're totally right about the netrunning, it already takes a bit longer than just walking in with guns. If we had to go through that complicated UI it would totally break immersion.
I actually really like the lifepaths as well, they're very subtle but it adds SO much, especially if you do something like a corpo lifepath and The Devil ending. A lot of this is just the current state of gaming journalism- negativity gets way more clicks.
Agreed with everything in this video. Been saying this myself since launch
nicely said in the video. I am happy that we have cyberpunk 2077 at all, because due to too many bad comments some people skipped the experience they could have in the game, and I think that cd project red is not such a company that focuses on earnings and not on video games, because the story is great. I had a bad pc, I saved the game for later when I will have better components to enjoy the game, and one important thing: I didn't want to believe the comments, plus I turned off these comments because of the spoilers and things that didn't interest me, like these are promises of what the game will be like, god spoilers and because of things that didn't interest me, and those are the promises of what the game should be like. I just enjoyed it, instead of looking for irregularities!
i agree and disagree with the few points you mentioned. Before i say anything I've worked in video game companies for about 8 years now, started as QA tester and now i am a part of concept design team. We always debate stuff during the initial stages about the scope of the game. Like about 80% of things gets defined in the early phases of pre production and every departments get to chip in if its possible to implement or not. It was a trend back then to show vertical slice to the public, like how Cyberpunk, Anthem, No man's sky etc did. But here's the thing, vertical slices can be done very quickly and feels like the game is almost shippable but its not. It just shows a visual representation of what team wants to achieve in the end. Take it as concept art but in a video format. We should keep this internally and never show it to the people because i can bet half of the things would get scrapped because of many technical limitations, or team doesn't feel enthusiastic about certain features or time constraints, or a person who is in charge quits in between etc. So saying that having an expectation as a gamer is a fault of the gamers themselves is not justifiable, if CDPR knew that they couldn't finish or implement things within the time constraint they should have waited atleast a whole year before they had something solid to show. They are at a fault here, just like Bioware. I really appreciate the way Bethesda does their marketing, People have no idea what the game is going to look finally and they reveal gameplay where almost whole game is in the place. I think every studio should go this route moving forward. But on the other hand i do agree with following certain reddit post and taking it as something written on stone when it was never ever officially told in the public. So its a lesson learned for both the developers, publishers and the gaming audience.
Cyberpunk is one of my favorite games from the past several years, especially after the most recent updates.
I've played this game since day one and have enjoyed every bit of it. Sure there were a few bugs here and there but wasn't affecting my game play or overall esthetics of the world. Every new area was breath taking and all the small little details of the game made it really immersive. Some of the small bugs actually added some comical break to the game. One time I finished an escort quest and dropped off the npc. A few game saves and many hours later, I found the same npc in the same getaway car so I decided to follow them. At first it looked like they were going to leave the city on a highway but then they looped back into the city. I followed them around the city until they came to a circle loop in a downtown area. For the rest of the time, they just kept looping around the circle loop. I gave up following them after a few minutes. Wasted a few minutes of my time but it was entertaining 🙂 My only gripe is that I couldn't run the game at max 4k settings on my 2080 super 🙁 I'm missing out on some pretty neon lights!
I search at least once a week for new information about this game regarding the upcoming DLC and updates. I don’t ever want this game to die
In defense of my hate for this game I originally bought it on a base ps4. A bad first impression to say the least. That and the hyped up character customization turned out to be hot garbage with it's stunning lack of features. CDPR straight up lied saying this was a next gen experience. You can say it had a well written story. You can even say it had great characters. But you CAN'T deny they fucked themselves royally by claiming the customization is in-depth when it makes Sims 2 on the ps2 look like the golden standard of variety by comparison.
Edit: The game also falls short of my definition of an RPG. You have to be able to make your character as YOU want them. This game shares Fallout 4's problem where you're railroaded (pun not intended) into a specific character the developers wanted you to be. In F4 it's a caring parent that the game REALLY wants to be male given the narration and writing decisions. CP2077 really wants you to play as a cisgender thug who softens up after getting sick. That plotline was already used on me for Red Dead Redemption 2 so it barely effects me here. I wanted my V to be an agender screwball but the game insisted that they are one or the other and that they have the same personality throughout like in F4 pretty much no matter what you do. It was buggy, the character creator was crap, and I just can't get into the story because I what I wanted my character to be is just impossible within the game's design.
THE GAME IS FINE STOP CRYING ABOUT GLITCHES AND BUGS LOOK AT ASSASSINS CREED UNITY
It's a shame this video won't reach everyone who left this game unplayed, let alone the media correct their false claims. Still, you did excellent job making this video and I can relate 100 % with the point you made. P.S. Just about to start my 3rd playthrough with over 150 hours played in total.
I bought the game when it first came out for pc and alot of people complaining about fps and bugs and I’m playing on a 800$ gaming pre built pc and am able to play the game on medium settings at 35fps on average which is enough to be playable without issues and i only have came across a couple bugs that didn’t effect gameplay what’s so ever the only thing I wish the game had or was online mode and more stuff to do outside of missions and side missions because the main missions are incredible and fun especially the eresaka mission where you have to get the chip that was very fun to do I loved the main missions so much I played through the game 3 times now I’m on my 4th this time I will be attempting getting all secret cars and guns and completely every single side missions and all other events
This game is so fucking awesome, it makes me wonder WHY do people care on both sides? You like it? cool. Why care that others don't? Let them hate (as annoying as it is) and play. Don't like the game? Then why tf are you still talking about it? Play something different O.o People are too drawn to social media and meaningless internet discussions. This game is top5 for me EASY, and I inculde games from 90's and 2000's om that list. I've been playing for a long time, and that is sort of a magnum opus of sorts for me. The map design is unmatched by anything ever. The possibility of going through it completely different is amazing. And don't throw the "choices don't matter, all the missions are the same". Because a) not true, you are mistaking it for Skyrim, which is revered b)you probably like telltale games with "he'll remember that" hints c) you are just not that creative when it comes to playing a game
listen, the NPC with daily routine is said by cdpr during night city wire and other marketing material, there is in a video by them in English with millions of views, I don't wanna sound like a c*** but do some research before making the video, that way is not easy for someone to pick your video apart, the second thing about the mission, it is changed, you don't have the same options, listen, are you for real ? look at other people's review, do a bit of research, what are you doing dude ? it's not cool to spin things around like, not even CNN does fake news like this, and the Crowd thing, they showed it working with tons of people before release on consoles that was the critique from the people, i can't believe you are actually doing this video, wtf.
