    I pirated this farce of an unfinished trashcan. I hate it and can't stop playing, even though I don't enjoy it.

      I keep playing because I'm excited to see how fucking bad it gets. The stealth is basically unplayable and the game just doesn't work when you try and okay it. I just recently replayed Dishonored and God damn is the difference night and day. Cyberpunk just feels like a Unreal Engine demo game. NONE of the mechanics work even to the bare minimum standards for games. The story is just complicated nonsensical drivel, and the world feels like a cheap porno ripoff of Bladerunner.

      Fuck this game.

        Maybe reading the reddit posts about how bad it is keeps me coming back. I don't know. I just can't stop. The false advertising is so bad I can probably finish the game and still get a refund lmao.

          It's DRM free if you got it on gog, so just refund and keep the offline installer.

            I'm a console peasant. When I order components to build a machine myself it's not a computer :stalin-shining:

                    "Though my playstation doesn't work anymore, the thought of the developer allowing a cyberpunk game to take over and destroy your console really added to the world and fully immersed me in the environment that they worked so hard to create."

              Definitely refund it asap then lol, the console version isn't even playable as a joke. Holy shit my way too expensive computer can barely even run it without overheating and it doesn't even look good.

              If you want a pretty console game get Ghost of Tsushima.

                the console version isn’t even playable as a joke.

                "What do mean 720p 15-30fps with constant crashes isn't playable! CDPR said this is satisfactory performance in the advert and they would never lie!!!1111"

      I hate it and can’t stop playing, even though I don’t enjoy it.

      That reminds me of when I played that homefront game. Despite the ovious bad story (North Korea invading the US) it was full of bugs and kept crashing my PS3. But I just couldn't stop playing it for some reason. Oviously cyberpunk is not that but but still the same feelings

        ive been playing it because a friend bought it and has library sharing with me

        the keanu thing is even worse than i thought. i thought he'd be a one-off character who does his thing, dies, is le epic gamer wholesome 100 or whatever and then he fucks off.

        spoiler

        the entire story is literally about him now. i have no idea if the rest of the game is gonna be like this but he has invaded my mind and physically abuses me in my bedroom at night. im not even joking. that's what the game's story is at the point im at now.

          Lol yep that's exactly where I quit. Was whining about it in the megathread last night and this morning

          Playing the original deus ex now instead

          spoiler

          The dialogue is abysmal, he's a terrible antihero and they had his nonsensical anti-capitalist terrorist character come from a grunge band in a fucking cyberPUNK game. Noted anti-capitalist genre grunge rock, in 2023.

          Also that 10 minutes of john wick sim in the interlude is some of the worst gameplay I've ever experienced in any video game I've ever played.

          My take is the designers watched the press F to pay respects scene in cod and asked themselves how they could do something that banal but stretch it into an hour of gameplay.

          Btw the rest of the story will be about him. The narrative arc feels pretty much lifted straight from a deus ex game and that's how they usually flow.
