The response to this video has been overwhelming and incredible. After spending about 100 hours putting it all together, I was worried how people would end up receiving it. I'm really glad so many of you gave it a chance and listened to what I had to say. I have seen a few questions / comments so I wanted to clear up somethings. 1. I played my game on PC at almost Max Settings (at the start I show my Steam Hours) - I bought the collectors edition for Xbox, but I didn't play it (you see me open it for the first time at the end of the video) 2. There is NOT a perk to use a body as a Human Shield while firing. Some people have mentioned the 'Transporter Perk' but the confusion there is that the perk allows you to fire while CARRYING a body over your shoulder. Not using it as a Human Shield (like in the image of the icon AND in some promotional material for the game), so that Perk does not give you the added defense benefit from the Perk I showed in the video. (Also, even if it DID, who the heck is picking up a body mid fight and just carrying it around? lol) 3. That not EVERYONE at CD Projekt are Liars. Yes this is true and I address that in the video. I would still love to talk with someone who worked on the game.
As someone who has never played the game, this gave me a clear reason to steer clear from it for the foreseeable future. However, you as a person make me want to play just to laugh along with you!
I played it at Max settings on PC as well. It did nothing to improve the bad AI, broken systems or constant bugs. The game looked better than the console versions, but even that was a small victory compared to all the problems the game has on all versions.
Yo, Happy New Year! I love the content, it is really great. BTW, can you make something about the desing of CP77? The flaws and something like. I would love to see your analysis on the topic.
Can't wait for your 10-20 minutes analysis of the detailed and in-depth unintentional game glitches of Cyberpunk to pose utility urgency for gamers to accelerate the game's narrative Euthanasia completion or some shiz like that
I was just playing The Elder Scrolls Oblivion and had a quest where I had to shoot a guy with a poisoned arrow. The rub was he was Captain of the guards and almost always kept his armor on, and the poison arrow only works if he does not have his armor on. So I find him in the city and track him as he walks to work in the evening from...somewhere and oh no, he sleeps at work...in his armor. Fine. Wait a few hours. Morning comes and he saunters off to check on the rest of the his guards throughout the city. Each time he stops he has a short conversation, most of those are actually relevant to the game at large and me. Fine. Aha! He then finally heads into a local pub and...nope...still in his armor. I finally catch a break when at 2:00pm he heads to the river next to one of his guard posts...and he takes off his armor to go for a swim. Apparently this is his daily routine before heading back to another eating establishment for dinner and returning to "work" to go back to bed. Did I mention Oblivion came out in 2006?
oblivion also has level scaling so awful you actually are worse off for leveling up by max level it takes 30minutes to kill 6 enemies, when at level 30 it takes 3
And Skyrim pretty much just copy-pasted the same AI code Bethesda has been using since their older games. Fallout 3 NPCs also have routines, albeit limited, and different reactions, and that is the exact same radiant AI from Oblivion, which is a slight upgrade from Morrowing. So yeah, CP77 beaten by 18 years.
@@kylevernon I didnt experience a very glitchy skyrim and I had the ps3 version a day before launch in the uk . Every game has glitches , when 50 million people play an open world rpg you are going to find something.
exactly. this is absurd , the game is fundamentally broken, and bad Story is bad, mechanics conceptually suck. and all that fkin potential was wasted. People are just flooding everything with bugs and fooling themselves into thinking that cd projekt red didn't just steal money from millions of people. false promises, etc. its ridiculous.
It still amazes me how quickly a stellar reputation can be driven down to becoming a hated reputation. CDPR went from the pariah of gaming to the bad joke of gaming in a span of a few days.
@@jamesmacleod671 Messiah to pariah would have been an appropriate comparison. Well deserved too. Though anyone who wasn't fanboying the game saw this coming well before the game launched.
Keep blaming the players and the pre order. I can make a long list of games i pre ordered and they runned perfectly on the ps4 slim. Because companies like Insomniac and others know how to develop and optimize games.
This game is NEVER going to run well on a ps4 slim.... this game is next generation and ps4 pro owners should honestly feel lucky the game runs aswell as it does. This is a true next gen title.
@@PrimordialEconomics that's funny, because it was developed 8 years prior to the reveal of the PS5 and the X box Series X, so tell us, where did they get the crystal ball from that told them to develop this game in 2013 in anticipation for 2020-2021 consoles?
yeah iirc, in skyrim at the start of the game when jarl balgruuf asks whiterun guards to patrol the area of riverwood, if you follow those guards, they will actuall go to riverwood and patrol the area. LOL
Red Dead 2 Is probably the best and most realistic game we've ever seen, It took everything from a older time we'd all want to see and did it perfectly, So many features, NPC features etc. In my opinion it's the best open world game and in my eyes the best game I've ever played.
Simply because RDR2 was made by Rockstar and it took them 8 years, 8 FREAKING YEARS, to develop it. And they are the best at making open world games. CDPR started developing this game in 2016 and invested most of the money on Marketing and the only games they made are Witcher 1-2-3. They didn't have the experience yet they decided to go on and make a game big like that.
sometimes less realistic in certain things are the best. Jim sterling made a very good video about it. Ill highlight some of the best points he made and that bothered me too. 1. while this problem affects every rockstar game since gta 4 it is still here 12 years later. The main chara Arthur moves so slowly and clumsy that it takes forever to do the simplest tasks. this is what bothered me the most. Forget about carefull detailed manouvers bru even after 20 hours of gameplay i still could not get through a simple door on the first try and running and jumping is so tedious it takes forever to go anywhere. While i applaud them for the cover mechanic wich is as good here as it ever was all other aspects of moving are complete chores. every rockstar character moves like a drunk and its not fun to play. 2. skinning an animal is so detailed that it takes 20 seconds to do. I dont wanna sit and watch an animal get skinned for 20 seconds(i dont have a problem with the graphic nature its just annoying to have to wait) Just do what every other game does and let me shoot my animal then pick up the skin while not as realistic it would make it more rewarding to skin. I just gave up on hunting after 3 skinnings and i dreaded the time the game might force me to do it. So no i havent uppgraded my camp cause i refuse to hunt not like it matter anyway. Fishing is just as boring as tedious like fishing in real life *sigh* i fished once with some kid at the beginning then i never touched that rod again. Minor annoyance shopping in rdr2 is just as annoying, this is just my opinion but id rather take a menu style shopping like cyberpunk or skyrim than having to wait almost 5 seconds every time i wanna switch page on that god forsaken catalogue man i hate these. These are the points that bothers me the most but jim made a good video on it. although the comment section is overun by rockstar fanboys. I stopped playing rdr2 when *spoilers* Arthur got cast away on this island, havent touched it since. good story with awfull game mechanics and terrible gameplay 6/10 When i switched to horizon zero dawn after having played nothing but red dead for a week it was heaven. Aloy moves like a freaking jaguar swift and quick it felt amazing to play. Lara in tomb raider also moves quick. its so satisfying seeing it. Joel in the last of us also moves like a tank and the contrast to ellie wich you later play as is staggering. i know why rockstar and naughty dog makes the character control like that, because theyre supposed to be old men worn down over the years but man is it annoying. while i have finished last of us multiple times its because the story is so good that its worth it plus it has alot of cutscenes that gives me a break when i play. Long story short: You have to balance realism and fun. if something is realistic it doesnt automatically make it good. in rdr2's case it just drags the game down. i did finnish the first rdr because they made that balance work and it was a much better game to boot without theser annoying things. now i did pre-order rdr2 cause i loved the first game but it was so broken at launch that i didnt play it more than a few minutes then after a few months i redownloaded it and started playing it.
I agree about rdr2. Best game I've ever played, but rockstar are dissapointing in their own regard. Like seriously gtav on ps5? Apparently two playatations isn't enough for that game
Dude, no kidding, this might be the best video you have ever made. The editing, the references, the final song was the best Billy Joel cover I have ever heard, the jokes, everything. Somebody please give this good man an oscar and a Grammy. Just 12/10. Bloody fantastic!!
I don’t know, NakeyJakey has had this setup of video for a while and it feels copied. This is good, but I can’t help but feel it’s shot for shot/edit by edit ripped.
Im glad i just sat thru 45 mins of this video.. THIS.. THIS WAS WORTH the time i wasted playing cp77. Such a well done video. Well edited. No fillers. All that editing for each moment he talks about ALONE is a massive task.. I wondered why i hadnt seen him put out a review of thia game yet.. Amd it makes total sense now. BUT WELL WORTH THE WATCH. Thx for that. Might watch again later in life if i forget how upset i was over my ps5 playthrough
Didn't GTA vice city have a better AI? The people reacted by running away from you when showed a gun. If they were in a car and you pointed guns at them, they literally would run over you!
San andreas, Not Vice City, npc run away only when you shoot, and cars either drive away or run away from the car if you shoot (in both games ) I remember Vice City NPCs was pretty dump but in an entertaining way
But i wouldnt Stop because when we want to Show the truth and greed about Cdpr we need every RUclipsr for this.Because without,the bleeded ones would Overshadow the Bad parts when there arent enough negative Videos about it and everyone can forget it.Keep up your good Videos rerez,Like you☺️
Why do so many people assume popular reviewers/critics don't finish games before reviewing? There is literally no evidence whatsoever that even ONE critic does this, let alone all of them. But okay.
@@kartashuvit4971 firstly if they played the game the whole way through this game wouldn't have got such good initial reviews, ign gave this game a 9 on pc????? how??? beatemups also played on pc and after he mentions all the downfalls of this game how could anyone give it a 9?
@SwitchUp Look not every reviewer can be as good as Mark and Glen aight? That's why you two constantly get comments about how much better your review videos are hahah
@@kartashuvit4971 There may be no "evidence", but there sure are plenty of reviewers blatantly admitting they don't play through a whole game before writing their reviews. And a timeline and basic math tells you everything you need to know honestly. Reviewer who works 40 hours a week gets a review copy of a game a week before embargo is up, game is 35-40 hours long for a normal play through, even if they spent every work hour playing this game, at best they have 5 or so hours to write and edit a review. Oh, but don't forget the 10-15 other games releasing that need this done with too. Yup, they have all the time in the world to play through a game completely before a review goes up.... Many reviewers have admitted they spend about 5 to 8 hours on a game and then write the review. They simply don't have time to invest the amount of time you think they do with other things they're working on. You sound like managers I have to deal with as a recruiter where they think the only thing I work on is their requisition. When in reality I'm working on and dealing with 40 others at once.
Finally someone who doesn’t criticize the game only for the bugs. The bugs are barely the problem, it’s the fact that the game has basic design problems and loads of unfulfilled promises.
I hate when people defend this game by saying “tHe fAnS wErE iMpAtiEnT aNd wAnTeD iT oUt WiTh nO mOrE DeLaYs” as if it was the fans that set an unrealistic release date in the first place. It’s just laughable that they stated “coming when it’s ready” all those years ago lol
"I really wish the game didn't ship with all these bugs because it overshadows how bad the core game is." This is just what i thought initially. I was so pissed that everybody talked about bugs when the problem is the game itself.
Reminds me of Witcher 3 ( which is despite some flaws a masterpiece in my opinion) , the animation of drinking a potion , the ability to rent rooms at inns and bathe were completely removed before release for some reason , the only activity Geralt can do is play gwent , you can’t fish , camp , sleep , sit , eat at an inn , bathe etc
I think its because they have delayed it so much that people would lose hype and forget about the game when it does finally release. That would be risking 15 years of work on the game just for no one to buy it because they simply forgot it was even coming. They had to scam people buying it day 1 and pre ordering to cut their losses.
That’s true! I never really thought of it like that. They were so arrogant that they thought people would forgive them/not care about them releasing an unfinished game just because they CDPR the creators of ‘Witcher’ It’s almost impressive seeing all the fucks they’re not giving.
@@yushayasad3676 and this is the problem with corporations... investors should take care of money stuff only and not mess with the technical and creative aspects of a product, specially since its a videogame, a thing they probably never cared to play in the first place
This is, by faaaaaar, the best review for this game. As you said, reviews are almost exclusively focused in the glitches, however the actual game is incredibly poor.
@@bruhburrito8531 Luke Stephens is one of the only review channels who genuinely understands what he's talking about and doesn't just harp on trends to fit in like "Everything Ubisoft makes is bad because Ubisoft" or "The Last Of Us 2 sucks because Abby" etc etc. Even if i disagree with some of the things he says, i respect how real he is
@@SirBlackReeds both are good i think manley did a great job on talking about the story though which is pretty much what makes me not want to play this game
Dude you tackled one of the most discussed and picked apart games in recent memory, and managed to make the best video on it that is out there. Good job
Wood I honestly am SO impressed. 8 minutes into this MAMMOTH of a video, and I can already see the amount of time you poured into it. Cheers mate this is glorious!!!
Tbf all developers must have had a good time when it released, people were acting like it's going to be the game to end all games. Ended up being even less of a rpg then fallout 4, hilarious actually.
rockstar may not be the company it used to be in 2000s but the quality and things they deliver atleast hold up and don't disappoint their buyers for example even if the games they make aren't super good but they are not super bad either. (except GTA V which was good but I feel it could have included more gameplay and emphasis on single player). say anything anyone wants to but rockstar will always dominate open world for me in some ways or the other
@@swapnil3718 lol who said it's not, I just wanted to say that even if someone might say there games are not the best, no one can say that it is bad. the problem is though that they have become more money minded now. RDR 2 is great no doubt but you compare the no. of games they produced from early 2000s till 2010 to the no. of games they produced from 2010 till 2020. not only are the games after 2010 less but I felt gta V as somewhat underwhelming in certain gameplay aspects when comparing to gta: sa, vc, III, IV, while rdr2 does a great job I feel they could have done more games like rdr2 between the 10 years they had
@@justacasualgamer1957 to be fair, games nowadays are harder and more expensive to devlope unlike how they used to be in the past, gta5 for example had 2.5x the budget of gta 4 and sa
Also Assassin's Creed Origins (which was released back in 2017) has NPC routines you can see them, waking up from there homes, selling stuffs in the market, praying in some temples, and guards are awake. In night time the town, city, or village is usually empty because most NPCs are sleeping even the guards are also sleeping making them vulnerable to assassinations
Hello games anyone, NMS heh................. This is why im always glad not buying Single player focused games day one, usually wait few months or until some special/goty edition including DLC is out. NOW IMPORTANT QUESTION, WHAT ABOUT THE PC VERSION, Match 2021 ? I also think that making this game for PS4/Xboxone was a huge mistake, should have been developed for current new gen only. Will they own up as good as Hello games did with NMS... I stuck with NMS and it was worth it in the end
I mean I have been. I’ve been bringing up the fact they bent the knee to China, and complained they didn’t have enough people to make a good enough game. When we have games like Axiom Verge which was created by one guy. I just don’t have a RUclips channel with a bunch of content.
Yeah everyone knows about the glitches, but I had no idea the core architecture of the game was so....unsatisfying. Breaks my heart because I thought I'd wait for the "definitive edition" but nah
There's some videos talking about it if you go looking. It's just that those early 9 and 10/10 reviews really mislead people and didn't mention all of the issues. Now that we can see what the game is actually like many are backpeddling. There's issues that they won't be able to fix with some patches, the game is unfortunately fundamentally flawed.
@@JSledge825 i agree, they bend to china, they are about to release a witcher mobile game (china biggest mobile game market), removing devotion from gog , for the ones that dont know cdpr owns gog, because devotion had some politically winnie the pooh contorversy, and for not risking gog being banned in china they removed the game. CDPR is now another company looking for the biggest money and they will crap on west if asia market gives them more money
I've been watching plenty of videos about the game's problems and such. Saw more than a few videos talking about the lies. But this was by far my favorite video. ❤
My man literally parodied "Fornite's kinda dying"..... yes I literally took five minutes just looking up at my ceiling trying to figure out where I had heard the tune before.
I feel so bad for the people who worked tirelessly on the creation suite getting it to work being the most detailed. Only for none of it actually mattering in actual gameplay or cutscenes.
Funny is when you look at the speedrunners. They have the playable segments done in 20-25 minutes based on who is how fast, rest is them skipping over dialogue AND waiting for slow characters to get from point A to point B. You almost all the time see "Wait for Jackie" "Wait for Misty" "Wait for Judy" "Wait for Panam" "Wait for Rogue to gather intel" "wait for Takemura" "Wait until you receive a call" "wait for Hanako" in other words - speedrunning is just a waiting simulator.
I just realized that Fallout 76 and Cyberpunk2077's numbers are right after each other and they're this decades worst AAA releases. I'm guessing the next big disappointment will have 78 in the title lmfao

They totally pulled a Fyre festival on us. Notice the similarities. All our expectations were based on one faked promotional video. They both tried to meet their deadline by starting work way too late. Both teams had deadlines much sooner than deemed necessary. They both apologized that v.1 has failed and that they’ll do better. They both knew how bad the launch will be and proceeded with it anyway. Now, where is Billy McFarland now? 🤔 Jail Why is this becoming more and more common in anything involving money?
It's the future of marketing. Selling pipe dreams that only resemble the actual product on the most superficial level, then trying to appease outrage by fixing only the most obvious issues with it. CD Projekt advertised a luxury mansion with high class interior and we got an empty log cabin with half a roof. But hey, at least they will deliver the other part of the roof soon!
@@OHCAM5 The Chrome skins other NPCs have, unique limb options, additional character customization in places like Ripperdocs, stuff like that. The stuff you can get in something like the TableTop game, basically. I'm sure there is more, but just something to actually really customize your Character to make them feel more unique than just a bunch of options in the first menu, then a few cyberware upgrades later in the game, y'know? Really add to the theme of "individual style" that the TableTop gives, and the game tried to do, if that makes sense.
A game about body modification with boring unimpressive and unimpactful body mods Imagine if u had too many mods and people said u were more machine than man If u got hacked by the main enemy is u had certain mods made by them
The first time I went to a ripperdoc and got the menu I thought I did something wrong or that specific ripperdoc didn't queue a cut scene.. went to two others and got the same lame menu.. pretty much lost all faith in the game after that esp with all the additional empty features and bugs
In Witcher 1, the NPC's had daily routines. I remember going to look for Shani at the hospital and her not being there because it was night time and she was at home.
The Zelda series (BOTW - Switch - a tablet - Wii U) has also evolved. NPC's do more daily routines and there is a day/night cycle that adds additional activities.
@@pawe1721 No Witcher 3 NPC have daily routine too. Try go to a blacksmith at night, they'd all be sleeping in their home, you need to wait until morning.
And to top it all off. . . you have all of these low effort gamers who defend the game saying that the game seems completely fine to them, because they aren't aware of the lies. The ones who are aware of the missing content will say that you had "too high of expectations".
The missing content is a let down (and let's not kid ourselves, some of that missing content was due to censorship). But Cyberpunk is the only massive AAA game that it's set in the Cyberpunk world (and also one of the few non medieval-fantasy ones), also the visuals are gorgeous and the design of the cars surpassed every expectation I had. So, yeah, I was a little disappointed but I'll take what we got. I played this over any run of the mill medieval fantasy game.
@Andrew Pyle I'm not a zoomer but you are right that I'm desperate for science fiction games. I can't stand medieval fantasy nor games set in the past, and it seems it's all we can get these days. So I'll support any AAA non-army focused (AKA, not Halo or Gears) science fiction production as hard as I can get.
At least now it's in a good state, obviously still some bugs but not as offending as 1.0 and the game is entirely playable and I am glad I waited this long to play it
@@xbadmouthx There's a guide on YT that shows the location of a car that you need to take Hwangbo with and then drive him literally 200m to trigger the side quest, it doesn't show up in Journal until you drive with his car.
I had an NPC named Flavio following me around, it was the same bug as shown here with Hwangbo. In some rescue the NPC sidemissions, they follow you until you reach the point to finish the quest, but sometimes, the game doesnt seem to notice that and forgets to disable the specific NPC to follow you around. And when you lose them somehow (for example by triggering a scene in which they cant follow you); they glitch back into your car or on your side as soon as you come close to the original missions destination (as shown here as well)
"I really do wish the game didn't release with all these bugs because they are over-shadowing how bad the core game actally is" This was EXACTLY my thoughts after playing it for 80 hours, THANK YOU.
Why play it for so long if it's bad? I got through the first mission or two and realized it was basically what this video was describing so I got a refund
There was a cutscene where Johnny Silverhand was playing a gig outside Arasaka. they started playing music, the game glitched and looped the music FOREVER! It played for the rest of the game, over everything and wouldnt turn off.
Finally a damn youtuber that talks about Cyberpunk and mentions how obvious it is that there's a ton of content that is clearly left over from what the game was supposed to be like the non-lethal option, texts saying "hey, well done not killing them" despite the fact you went lethal and vice versa, icons like human shield, the 3 life choices feeling so damn good.....till they just suddenly end and 2 of the choices don't even fit correctly, Ciri's hints in Witcher 3 and many many others. It's so obvious that this was supposed to be a completely different game at some point and, for whatever reason, they re-did everything.
Companies care only about selling their products, not about making amazing games. As long as their products sell well, it is ok for them. This is a business after all. Not preordering anything and searching for independent reviews before buying a product seems to be the way to go. And that would force the companies to at least release decent functionning products. Because in this case, if they would publish an unfinished and barely functional product, the first reviews made by customers would incitate the others to not buy it.
@@nathanfernandes6376 Which had absolutely nothing to do with the actual release of the game. It's all about money and investors. Saying otherwise is just giving them excuses.
I can’t stand people defending this game saying “it’s just upgraded game engine from 2 years ago” and “everything in the gameplay trailer is in the released game”
"I really wish the game didn't ship with all these bugs because it overshadows how bad the core game is." Thank you for using your platform to speak my thoughts you saint you.
When he said this about the game, it spoke to my soul. It's exactly how I've been feeling. I wanted everyone to stop talking about the bugs so we can finally talk about how the game fails to deliver on most of the promotional material they marketed before the game came out.
I bought the game after launch given the positive reviews. But 15 hours into the game I realized how bad it was even if there were no bugs. Long story sort, asked CDPR for refund and got my money back. The biggest disappointment is that its CDPR and the youtubers I trusted to give an honest review of the game. What a shame that they mocked others for laying and then outdid them all.
@@RealBlueony I get what you are saying, I know they were left the dark. But I was implying after launch reviews where most big youtubers fail to mention the cut content, the poor npc AI behavior, the cars that can't go around the obstacles. I played witcher 3 three times with different endings and choices, this game doesn't even come close. And when i said that they mocked others i also meant cdpr, remember when when they said "we leave the greed to others".
“We’ll leave greed to others” they said as i waited for more than a month for my refund, if it wasnt for the fact i contacted paypal i would’ve still be waiting, once i contacted paypal they refunded me the next day
@@sheshin I bought the game through gog galaxy. Maybe that's why. But they did ask for the reason, and I did gave it straight to them, that their game sucks and they lied. I do hope that they learn the lesson. But I doubt that they will bring back the missing features since that requires changing the engine.
@Gice Rum My guess is that they got too ambitious early but started the project late. Hoping for a witcher 3 like turn around time. A lot of developers quit due to pressure. All that was left in the end then was to fake it and hope that they make it, which the didn't. They got greedy from the preorders and decided to release the half baked game with cut content and hope for the best. They were being like a school kid who says there is plenty of time and that he has done it before but in the end hands in the half baked project.
This is the best review of a videogame I have EVER seen. You explained in good detail about the flaws, showed great examples of how those flaws look like. 10/10

@@leecroft1983 Imagine them actually putting out a beta build by accident lol it's not even the same game, it's missing more than half the content from just the trailers, let alone all the bullish they promised.
Even in Stardew Valley, an indie game made by one person, NPC will rushes pass you if you blocked their way for too long. It's a great game with pleasant pixel arts.
I only disagree with his RDR2 point. I hate RDR2 and I dont get why people love those extra animations when buying, looting, skinning, it just busy work that slows the game down. Witcher 3 was much better game, and they cut corners where needed, like when you disembowel contract beast, they would just show you bringing up the knife and then it would cut to you having the trophy, it didnt need 10 second animation of you cutting it like boring RDR2. when you loot, you would just see what you can loot, press the button and you have it, RDR2 would have 5 second animation, do you really think thats better, its liek Jim Sterling said, there is atention to detail and there is obsession with detail, and it just made RdR2 tedious.
@@TheRealUcanUwill Funny you brought that up cuz I was just thinking about it the other day as well. You're both right IMO, therefore it should have been an option to the player wheather they wanted to skip those cut scenes or watch it somewhere in the settings. That would have satisfied everyone.
@@TheRealUcanUwill RDR2 is masterpiece compared to this. The whole shopping thing I kinda liked, it's not like I go to shops very often, so it wasn't an issue. I agree with the hunting animation though, but I didn't do much if any hunting, so again, wasn't an issue. But, wow, 2077 is just one massive middle finger to the people who were so excited for this game.
When it says “Does not represent the final look of the game” you normally think that means that there may be some glitches and bugs and some weird animations and models but it will look better when you have your hands on the product somehow, cdpr did the complete 180 opposite
@CHOAM Nomsky This is what I've encountered more often than not as well. A bunch of shills ready to jump out and defend the company at every turn. When you question these guys on the implication of a demonstration that is "Subject to Change" they wax lyrical on the semantics without even touching what it might mean to the consumer. Almost the meta of the meta (considering CDPR has now proven itself to be corporate), these are the corpo/corpo-adjacent people Cyberpunk 2077 warns about: the ones that suck on the teat of pragmatism and cost-benefit utilitarianism in exchange for the soul of an experience. Baffling indeed.
@CHOAM Nomsky I honestly believe most of them defending it are in denial. They know they got scammed and lied to and are just too self conscious or proud to admit it.
@CHOAM Nomsky That’s so strange. I mean if it was a little bit worse than the final product that’s ok I mean we see that all the time but these are drastic changes that (dare i say it) OBJECTIVELY make the game worse.
This is false. I've seen Moxes, Tyger Claws and Maelstrom riding on bikes after other gangs. I don't know if they added this later in the game but currently it's possible to see npcs riding on bikes
unfortunately what we see on the internet is comments about bugs and optimization, so i highly doubt the core gameplay features that are incomplete, missing, etc will get developed. they will fix the bugs, give some free DLC as bone for the blind fanboys to chew, and they'll say "the game is playable. go play and leave us alone". there won't be a No Man's Sky redemption arc.
@@SapiaNt0mata I agree. Thanks for seeing my point. People online tend to defend the game and fight me without realizing im not intentionally flaming the game but just pointing out the lacklustre final product after properly playing a few hundred hours to make sure I tried best to enjoy the game they made. Its a great game ngl but pales in comparison to other open world games we've played. And yes I rather they focus on w4 or w3 next gen. Im not the least bit interested in the DLCs either.
@@HeenaPatel253 imagine if they released the game in April 2021 as it was scheduled initially. who played the game and decided: "the game is ready. release it in April 2021? and Mike Podsmith said that the game will be released when it's ready. ts ts ts. they should have come out and say that the game has bugs and lot's of features are not finished and it has to be delayed. the vast majority would be reasonable and wait. when Mike Podsmith said "the game will be released when its ready", the majority of people said: "take your time. we can wait". now tons of people ain't gonna trust them, especially when they'll release another game. this is worse than delaying the game cause it's incomplete and get some hate from a nonexistent minority of idiots.
Thank you. People in the comments keep talking about the game looking pretty but being an empty shell... I'm sorry, but is it even "pretty"? The environment looks nice but the characters, cars, UI, special effects, sound design, etc. are all awful. They look like PS3 Saints Row lol.
@@madtonesbr Depends on what system your playing it on. If its on base PS4 and Xbox One, it's going to look awful. If you're playing it on high end PC with good settings, it looks amazing, one of the best looking games out now with RTX ultra. The game is just poorly optimized for certain systems.
Graphics was provided by Nvidia's RTX crew you have to consider. It was Nvidia's investment to finally get a AAA RTX game released. Looks quite astonishing. Effects are poor though. Lip sync adaptation is good but for some reason, it's desynced with a fixed delay. This only confirms my suspicion that it was intentionally manufactured this way. The cars that fall down from nowhere, I've seen this scene so often that it most likely was scripted as well. This isn't a glitch. The fact that you instantly die when trying to enter the floor beneath, it's indicative that they have something hidden there and don't want you to see it yet. Maybe I'll try to cheat it and find out what's there. They only couldn't mess with the graphics as well because it was provided with Nvidia's support.
@@matfax What are you talking about? The cars falling and lip desyncing are just common glitches, the reason why you can't gl to those certain areas is because they're obviously out of bounds and weren't designed to be explored.
@@akuisbestgirl2448 Glitches are borderline effects, not something predictable and repeatable like this. Lip desync is constant. The algorithm works fine but always with a certain delay. Not like in the trailers. I've visited other off-boundary areas of the game and you don't instantly die there.
I hit a bug in the main storyline over a week ago and despite trying every trick I could find online, I'm just stuck. I was on holidays all week with nothing to play because I was waiting for these guys to patch their game. Incidentally, a different game I bought DLC for is also bugged. Getting real tired of this multi-billion dollar industry releasing garbage to consumers and expecting us to just wait around for them to fix it, maybe, weeks if not months after release. The whole industry needs to shape up !
I think developers and marketers need to hold back on the hype train. Take the Nintendo approach of releasing a game when they know it's 100% finished.
The problem is, they often still make money. And they lose reputation, but the next time, enough people give them money again that it doesn't matter. Mobile gaming is so much bigger, and monetizable with no backlash, we might just lose the industry eventually. Especially with the way these companies have been treating employees.
This might sound strange but I don't buy PS4 games or Xbox One till years later when I know the games have either a complete collection or the DLC or they have finished releasing it completely. As usually this is a problem I have with brand new games in that generation. Only brand new game I pre order are Nintendo and they never fail day one. Not to this extent anyway.
@@crabbuckets7506 I feel the exact same way. I never played AC Odyssey until 2 years after it was released and the same with Origins. I bought Valhalla day one because I was on a roll and what do you know. 2 months after release date and I can't finish off the story because a glitch won't let me interact to start the quest line. Learnt my lesson.
*Flawed masterpiece Yeah That sounds better I can find flaws in other masterpieces like Team Fortress 2 or Metal Gear Solid 3, doesn't change the fact that they are masterpieces

This was brilliant! You put so much work into this and I see now why it took you a while to make. I remember seeing the game trailers and thought this is going to be great. Really glad I waited and didn’t buy it straight away, I definitely would of been so disappointed. Also love the song, beats the old town road one you did 😂
CD PROJEKT doesnt have to program NPCs in the game because they programmed 13 million NPCs to pay money for a "game". They just took it to the next level. - the game is in the real world & a lot of people got played.
Honestly, the one point Badowski made on the demo was valid. Things don't end up looking like the "final product" until it nears release. In this case, they decided to take the quick money in exchange for the company's reputation. Real solid business move lul. Everything else in that article was utter BS to me.
@Goan Gino number one, don't call people a simp and number 2, he basically said they took his money and left him in the dust, buuut he is defending them which is sad but respectable
I love how people use the word “potential” as if the game actually HAD ANY? Any “potential” that the game had came from the lies that CDPR told...which were never developed or realized in the first place so what “potential” are we talking about? This game is just crap on every level
@@raviolijesus6181 you know what updates are? If they add stuff back they cut off, it can still be something. Good thing is Witcher 3 also only became what it is now after many updates

@@goopguy548 Rockstar games are infamous for their poor stories. CDPR wasn't. First two Witcher games take a major dump both on Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk when it comes to storytelling. FYI, I haven't played a CoD game since World at War. I enjoy a good cyberpunky type story, but Cyberpunk 2077 just wasn't that good at all.
I am surprised the daily routine is not present. 11 years ago, the Sims 3 (2009) has daily routines for all the townies, and they will go to places autonomously based on their traits. Since this is a promised feature, it shouldn't be removed from the game unless the game is not finished. It is just sad that the development team has clearly put a lot of work into the game already, but the efforts do not end up in a satisfactory project that is clearly rushed and not ready for release.
Cyberpunk was so buggy Johnny silverhand managed to glitch out in to the real world and become a real person named Keanu Reeves. That’s was breathtaking.

The response to this video has been overwhelming and incredible. After spending about 100 hours putting it all together, I was worried how people would end up receiving it. I'm really glad so many of you gave it a chance and listened to what I had to say. I have seen a few questions / comments so I wanted to clear up somethings.
1. I played my game on PC at almost Max Settings (at the start I show my Steam Hours) - I bought the collectors edition for Xbox, but I didn't play it (you see me open it for the first time at the end of the video)
2. There is NOT a perk to use a body as a Human Shield while firing. Some people have mentioned the 'Transporter Perk' but the confusion there is that the perk allows you to fire while CARRYING a body over your shoulder. Not using it as a Human Shield (like in the image of the icon AND in some promotional material for the game), so that Perk does not give you the added defense benefit from the Perk I showed in the video. (Also, even if it DID, who the heck is picking up a body mid fight and just carrying it around? lol)
3. That not EVERYONE at CD Projekt are Liars. Yes this is true and I address that in the video. I would still love to talk with someone who worked on the game.
As someone who has never played the game, this gave me a clear reason to steer clear from it for the foreseeable future. However, you as a person make me want to play just to laugh along with you!
Thanks for the song!
This video and mostly the song was an absolutely wonderful start to my year. Thank you. 😝🤣😂
Really really really good review wood mate. The video is a credit to you. Good work sir.
I played it at Max settings on PC as well. It did nothing to improve the bad AI, broken systems or constant bugs. The game looked better than the console versions, but even that was a small victory compared to all the problems the game has on all versions.

@@Saiaxs bruh, really?!
Wow, that explains a lot. Thanks man.
I was just playing The Elder Scrolls Oblivion and had a quest where I had to shoot a guy with a poisoned arrow. The rub was he was Captain of the guards and almost always kept his armor on, and the poison arrow only works if he does not have his armor on. So I find him in the city and track him as he walks to work in the evening from...somewhere and oh no, he sleeps at work...in his armor. Fine. Wait a few hours. Morning comes and he saunters off to check on the rest of the his guards throughout the city. Each time he stops he has a short conversation, most of those are actually relevant to the game at large and me. Fine. Aha! He then finally heads into a local pub and...nope...still in his armor. I finally catch a break when at 2:00pm he heads to the river next to one of his guard posts...and he takes off his armor to go for a swim. Apparently this is his daily routine before heading back to another eating establishment for dinner and returning to "work" to go back to bed.
Did I mention Oblivion came out in 2006?
oblivion also has level scaling so awful you actually are worse off for leveling up by max level it takes 30minutes to kill 6 enemies, when at level 30 it takes 3
Skyrim characters had routines and that was 2 generations ago
So true and I still play the game until this day. I would have rather waited 8 more years and gotten a game with good replayability imo.
And Skyrim pretty much just copy-pasted the same AI code Bethesda has been using since their older games. Fallout 3 NPCs also have routines, albeit limited, and different reactions, and that is the exact same radiant AI from Oblivion, which is a slight upgrade from Morrowing. So yeah, CP77 beaten by 18 years.
Bruh, I miss this game so much

Yeah, the real problem is the actual game. Skyrim and New Vegas were very glitchy at release but the fun heavily outweighed the glitches.
@@kylevernon I didnt experience a very glitchy skyrim and I had the ps3 version a day before launch in the uk . Every game has glitches , when 50 million people play an open world rpg you are going to find something.

To be fair, she could be talking about the future beyond 2077. Him using that line to make a statement about flying cars was bit of a stretch IMO.
Probably an alternate reality where the game isnt garbage lmao. How embarrassing.
Red Dead 2 Is probably the best and most realistic game we've ever seen, It took everything from a older time we'd all want to see and did it perfectly, So many features, NPC features etc. In my opinion it's the best open world game and in my eyes the best game I've ever played.
Simply because RDR2 was made by Rockstar and it took them 8 years, 8 FREAKING YEARS, to develop it. And they are the best at making open world games. CDPR started developing this game in 2016 and invested most of the money on Marketing and the only games they made are Witcher 1-2-3. They didn't have the experience yet they decided to go on and make a game big like that.
sometimes less realistic in certain things are the best. Jim sterling made a very good video about it.
Ill highlight some of the best points he made and that bothered me too.
1. while this problem affects every rockstar game since gta 4 it is still here 12 years later. The main chara Arthur moves so slowly and clumsy that it takes forever to do the simplest tasks. this is what bothered me the most. Forget about carefull detailed manouvers bru even after 20 hours of gameplay i still could not get through a simple door on the first try and running and jumping is so tedious it takes forever to go anywhere.
While i applaud them for the cover mechanic wich is as good here as it ever was all other aspects of moving are complete chores.
every rockstar character moves like a drunk and its not fun to play.
2. skinning an animal is so detailed that it takes 20 seconds to do. I dont wanna sit and watch an animal get skinned for 20 seconds(i dont have a problem with the graphic nature its just annoying to have to wait) Just do what every other game does and let me shoot my animal then pick up the skin while not as realistic it would make it more rewarding to skin.
I just gave up on hunting after 3 skinnings and i dreaded the time the game might force me to do it. So no i havent uppgraded my camp cause i refuse to hunt not like it matter anyway.
Fishing is just as boring as tedious like fishing in real life *sigh* i fished once with some kid at the beginning then i never touched that rod again.
Minor annoyance shopping in rdr2 is just as annoying, this is just my opinion but id rather take a menu style shopping like cyberpunk or skyrim than having to wait almost 5 seconds every time i wanna switch page on that god forsaken catalogue man i hate these.
These are the points that bothers me the most but jim made a good video on it. although the comment section is overun by rockstar fanboys.
I stopped playing rdr2 when *spoilers* Arthur got cast away on this island, havent touched it since.
good story with awfull game mechanics and terrible gameplay 6/10
When i switched to horizon zero dawn after having played nothing but red dead for a week it was heaven. Aloy moves like a freaking jaguar swift and quick it felt amazing to play.
Lara in tomb raider also moves quick. its so satisfying seeing it.
Joel in the last of us also moves like a tank and the contrast to ellie wich you later play as is staggering.
i know why rockstar and naughty dog makes the character control like that, because theyre supposed to be old men worn down over the years but man is it annoying.
while i have finished last of us multiple times its because the story is so good that its worth it plus it has alot of cutscenes that gives me a break when i play.
Long story short: You have to balance realism and fun. if something is realistic it doesnt automatically make it good. in rdr2's case it just drags the game down.
i did finnish the first rdr because they made that balance work and it was a much better game to boot without theser annoying things.
now i did pre-order rdr2 cause i loved the first game but it was so broken at launch that i didnt play it more than a few minutes then after a few months i redownloaded it and started playing it.
petition to have rockstar make remake cyberpunk?
I agree about rdr2. Best game I've ever played, but rockstar are dissapointing in their own regard. Like seriously gtav on ps5? Apparently two playatations isn't enough for that game

That would be risking 15 years of work on the game just for no one to buy it because they simply forgot it was even coming. They had to scam people buying it day 1 and pre ordering to cut their losses.
That’s true! I never really thought of it like that. They were so arrogant that they thought people would forgive them/not care about them releasing an unfinished game just because they CDPR the creators of ‘Witcher’

Delay, delay, delay, release, fix later.
I'm pretty sure the investors forced them to release it
@@yushayasad3676 and this is the problem with corporations... investors should take care of money stuff only and not mess with the technical and creative aspects of a product, specially since its a videogame, a thing they probably never cared to play in the first place
This is, by faaaaaar, the best review for this game. As you said, reviews are almost exclusively focused in the glitches, however the actual game is incredibly poor.
Even better than the Manley Reviews video?
I recommended Luke Stephens' almost 5 hour review.
@@bruhburrito8531 Luke Stephens is one of the only review channels who genuinely understands what he's talking about and doesn't just harp on trends to fit in like "Everything Ubisoft makes is bad because Ubisoft" or "The Last Of Us 2 sucks because Abby" etc etc. Even if i disagree with some of the things he says, i respect how real he is
I agree Cyberpunk is lacking...
But that being said I'm still playing Cyberpunk... Not playing Witcher 3, didn't really enjoy it.
@@SirBlackReeds both are good i think manley did a great job on talking about the story though which is pretty much what makes me not want to play this game
Dude you tackled one of the most discussed and picked apart games in recent memory, and managed to make the best video on it that is out there. Good job
Wood I honestly am SO impressed. 8 minutes into this MAMMOTH of a video, and I can already see the amount of time you poured into it. Cheers mate this is glorious!!!
I don’t care about the game itself but I’m going to watch this whole video because of all of the work he put into it imma watch the whole damn thing!
Same. Its so glorious...
Love how he exposes the truth too many CDPR shills are incapable of realizing
I bet Rockstar were laughing their heads off when this game finally dropped. People kept saying it was gonna be better than GTA pre launch LOL
Tbf all developers must have had a good time when it released, people were acting like it's going to be the game to end all games. Ended up being even less of a rpg then fallout 4, hilarious actually.
rockstar may not be the company it used to be in 2000s but the quality and things they deliver atleast hold up and don't disappoint their buyers for example even if the games they make aren't super good but they are not super bad either.
(except GTA V which was good but I feel it could have included more gameplay and emphasis on single player). say anything anyone wants to but rockstar will always dominate open world for me in some ways or the other
@@justacasualgamer1957 "not super bad either"? rdr2 is a masterpiece. rockstar has been consistent with their games
@@swapnil3718 lol who said it's not, I just wanted to say that even if someone might say there games are not the best, no one can say that it is bad. the problem is though that they have become more money minded now.
RDR 2 is great no doubt but you compare the no. of games they produced from early 2000s till 2010 to the no. of games they produced from 2010 till 2020. not only are the games after 2010 less but I felt gta V as somewhat underwhelming in certain gameplay aspects when comparing to gta: sa, vc, III, IV, while rdr2 does a great job I feel they could have done more games like rdr2 between the 10 years they had
@@justacasualgamer1957 to be fair, games nowadays are harder and more expensive to devlope unlike how they used to be in the past, gta5 for example had 2.5x the budget of gta 4 and sa
Also Assassin's Creed Origins (which was released back in 2017) has NPC routines you can see them, waking up from there homes, selling stuffs in the market, praying in some temples, and guards are awake.
In night time the town, city, or village is usually empty because most NPCs are sleeping even the guards are also sleeping making them vulnerable to assassinations
I love origins
@@dillonduke1662 me too
Can someone here explain to me why a lot of people don’t like Odyssey
@@ipsycho-_fresh6262 Because it is more on rpg rather than the traditional combat or assassination. I enjoyed Odyssey though
IMO, Origins is the best of Ubisoft games in 2014-2021.

Finnally someone is talking about all the stuff CDPR lied about instead of just saying the game was buggy
I mean I have been. I’ve been bringing up the fact they bent the knee to China, and complained they didn’t have enough people to make a good enough game. When we have games like Axiom Verge which was created by one guy. I just don’t have a RUclips channel with a bunch of content.
Yeah everyone knows about the glitches, but I had no idea the core architecture of the game was so....unsatisfying. Breaks my heart because I thought I'd wait for the "definitive edition" but nah
There's some videos talking about it if you go looking. It's just that those early 9 and 10/10 reviews really mislead people and didn't mention all of the issues. Now that we can see what the game is actually like many are backpeddling. There's issues that they won't be able to fix with some patches, the game is unfortunately fundamentally flawed.
@@JSledge825 i agree, they bend to china, they are about to release a witcher mobile game (china biggest mobile game market), removing devotion from gog , for the ones that dont know cdpr owns gog, because devotion had some politically winnie the pooh contorversy, and for not risking gog being banned in china they removed the game. CDPR is now another company looking for the biggest money and they will crap on west if asia market gives them more money

Love the song too. And I know Wood meant the execs, not the devs and workers. Only lyrics I hope no one interprets the wrong way.
I feel so bad for the people who worked tirelessly on the creation suite getting it to work being the most detailed. Only for none of it actually mattering in actual gameplay or cutscenes.
Tfw speedrunners can't ever have a "Glitchless" run of this game
Lol yeah
Funny is when you look at the speedrunners. They have the playable segments done in 20-25 minutes based on who is how fast, rest is them skipping over dialogue AND waiting for slow characters to get from point A to point B.
You almost all the time see "Wait for Jackie" "Wait for Misty" "Wait for Judy" "Wait for Panam" "Wait for Rogue to gather intel" "wait for Takemura" "Wait until you receive a call" "wait for Hanako" in other words - speedrunning is just a waiting simulator.
I just realized that Fallout 76 and Cyberpunk2077's numbers are right after each other and they're this decades worst AAA releases. I'm guessing the next big disappointment will have 78 in the title lmfao
The next big dissapointment is probably going to be something called "Aetherium 1978" or something like that.
Something flashy, but soulless.

They totally pulled a Fyre festival on us. Notice the similarities. All our expectations were based on one faked promotional video.

The fact that getting cyber ware is such a dull and unexciting experience is also probably one of the biggest disappointments for me.
yeah its so underwhelming
how would you want it to be. Cyber ware is just like any other upgrade.
@@OHCAM5 The Chrome skins other NPCs have, unique limb options, additional character customization in places like Ripperdocs, stuff like that. The stuff you can get in something like the TableTop game, basically. I'm sure there is more, but just something to actually really customize your Character to make them feel more unique than just a bunch of options in the first menu, then a few cyberware upgrades later in the game, y'know? Really add to the theme of "individual style" that the TableTop gives, and the game tried to do, if that makes sense.
A game about body modification with boring unimpressive and unimpactful body mods
Imagine if u had too many mods and people said u were more machine than man
If u got hacked by the main enemy is u had certain mods made by them
The first time I went to a ripperdoc and got the menu I thought I did something wrong or that specific ripperdoc didn't queue a cut scene.. went to two others and got the same lame menu.. pretty much lost all faith in the game after that esp with all the additional empty features and bugs
In Witcher 1, the NPC's had daily routines. I remember going to look for Shani at the hospital and her not being there because it was night time and she was at home.
Majoras mask on 64 had NPC with daily routines too..
Want to guess when they abandoned this feature? In Witcher 3.
@@pawe1721 I think that feature was gone in Witcher 2, not sure tho. I loved the daily routines in Witcher 1. It was so cool.
The Zelda series (BOTW - Switch - a tablet - Wii U) has also evolved. NPC's do more daily routines and there is a day/night cycle that adds additional activities.
@@pawe1721 No Witcher 3 NPC have daily routine too. Try go to a blacksmith at night, they'd all be sleeping in their home, you need to wait until morning.
And to top it all off. . . you have all of these low effort gamers who defend the game saying that the game seems completely fine to them, because they aren't aware of the lies. The ones who are aware of the missing content will say that you had "too high of expectations".
The missing content is a let down (and let's not kid ourselves, some of that missing content was due to censorship).
But Cyberpunk is the only massive AAA game that it's set in the Cyberpunk world (and also one of the few non medieval-fantasy ones), also the visuals are gorgeous and the design of the cars surpassed every expectation I had.
So, yeah, I was a little disappointed but I'll take what we got. I played this over any run of the mill medieval fantasy game.
Low effort gamers??? LOL Okay, bruh.
Yeah cod players and other normies says its fine, they have no standarts. They never experienced old classics, all they care is graphics
@Andrew Pyle I'm not a zoomer but you are right that I'm desperate for science fiction games. I can't stand medieval fantasy nor games set in the past, and it seems it's all we can get these days. So I'll support any AAA non-army focused (AKA, not Halo or Gears) science fiction production as hard as I can get.
At least now it's in a good state, obviously still some bugs but not as offending as 1.0 and the game is entirely playable and I am glad I waited this long to play it
I can't believe Hwangbo is a real thing. I've never seen anything like it. That's a legendary bug.
Worst of all is that he is tied to a side quest, I literally wasted 3 hours figuring out how to get rid of him!
@@staerii what side quest was it? So I can save it for last or maybe not even do it at all.
@@xbadmouthx There's a guide on YT that shows the location of a car that you need to take Hwangbo with and then drive him literally 200m to trigger the side quest, it doesn't show up in Journal until you drive with his car.
I had Judy follow me around for half the game, 10/10 bug would highly recommend.
I had an NPC named Flavio following me around, it was the same bug as shown here with Hwangbo. In some rescue the NPC sidemissions, they follow you until you reach the point to finish the quest, but sometimes, the game doesnt seem to notice that and forgets to disable the specific NPC to follow you around. And when you lose them somehow (for example by triggering a scene in which they cant follow you); they glitch back into your car or on your side as soon as you come close to the original missions destination (as shown here as well)
"I really do wish the game didn't release with all these bugs because they are over-shadowing how bad the core game actally is"
This was EXACTLY my thoughts after playing it for 80 hours, THANK YOU.

This video BETTER get the attention it deserves. I'm hoping people hear him out instead of just instantly disliking the video
They spent more time making cool trailers than the actual game.
There was a cutscene where Johnny Silverhand was playing a gig outside Arasaka. they started playing music, the game glitched and looped the music FOREVER! It played for the rest of the game, over everything and wouldnt turn off.
The secret is to save right after you leave the elevator and then reload it. That music will the stop.
"Cyberpunk is like when your mum asks you to clean your room and you just scoop everything under the bed last second" what an analogy man! 😂
Does this feel like your RUclips master thesis? Cause that’s how I feel this video went. Bravo Woody wooderson.
Finally a damn youtuber that talks about Cyberpunk and mentions how obvious it is that there's a ton of content that is clearly left over from what the game was supposed to be like the non-lethal option, texts saying "hey, well done not killing them" despite the fact you went lethal and vice versa, icons like human shield, the 3 life choices feeling so damn good.....till they just suddenly end and 2 of the choices don't even fit correctly, Ciri's hints in Witcher 3 and many many others.
It's so obvious that this was supposed to be a completely different game at some point and, for whatever reason, they re-did everything.

Companies care only about selling their products, not about making amazing games. As long as their products sell well, it is ok for them.
This is a business after all.
Not preordering anything and searching for independent reviews before buying a product seems to be the way to go. And that would force the companies to at least release decent functionning products. Because in this case, if they would publish an unfinished and barely functional product, the first reviews made by customers would incitate the others to not buy it.
Rockstar games would say otherwise, Rdr2 was amazing and sold well, same with cuphead
also people pressurized them and kept asking when the game was coming out
@@nathanfernandes6376 A sensible company would ignore that.

I bought the game after launch given the positive reviews. But 15 hours into the game I realized how bad it was even if there were no bugs. Long story sort, asked CDPR for refund and got my money back. The biggest disappointment is that its CDPR and the youtubers I trusted to give an honest review of the game. What a shame that they mocked others for laying and then outdid them all.
I wouldn't blame the RUclipsrs; they were given stock footage and controlled gameplay environments from what I've seen.
@@RealBlueony I get what you are saying, I know they were left the dark. But I was implying after launch reviews where most big youtubers fail to mention the cut content, the poor npc AI behavior, the cars that can't go around the obstacles. I played witcher 3 three times with different endings and choices, this game doesn't even come close. And when i said that they mocked others i also meant cdpr, remember when when they said "we leave the greed to others".
“We’ll leave greed to others” they said as i waited for more than a month for my refund, if it wasnt for the fact i contacted paypal i would’ve still be waiting, once i contacted paypal they refunded me the next day
@@sheshin I bought the game through gog galaxy. Maybe that's why. But they did ask for the reason, and I did gave it straight to them, that their game sucks and they lied. I do hope that they learn the lesson. But I doubt that they will bring back the missing features since that requires changing the engine.
@Gice Rum My guess is that they got too ambitious early but started the project late. Hoping for a witcher 3 like turn around time. A lot of developers quit due to pressure. All that was left in the end then was to fake it and hope that they make it, which the didn't. They got greedy from the preorders and decided to release the half baked game with cut content and hope for the best. They were being like a school kid who says there is plenty of time and that he has done it before but in the end hands in the half baked project.

I am speechless...he just nailed every nail.
I only disagree with his RDR2 point. I hate RDR2 and I dont get why people love those extra animations when buying, looting, skinning, it just busy work that slows the game down. Witcher 3 was much better game, and they cut corners where needed, like when you disembowel contract beast, they would just show you bringing up the knife and then it would cut to you having the trophy, it didnt need 10 second animation of you cutting it like boring RDR2. when you loot, you would just see what you can loot, press the button and you have it, RDR2 would have 5 second animation, do you really think thats better, its liek Jim Sterling said, there is atention to detail and there is obsession with detail, and it just made RdR2 tedious.
@@TheRealUcanUwill yh rdr2 was a bit too immersive.
@@TheRealUcanUwill Funny you brought that up cuz I was just thinking about it the other day as well. You're both right IMO, therefore it should have been an option to the player wheather they wanted to skip those cut scenes or watch it somewhere in the settings. That would have satisfied everyone.
I would love to see CDPR reactions to every point that he brings up, would be priceless, like catching a kid stealing cookies with a hand in a jar.
@@TheRealUcanUwill RDR2 is masterpiece compared to this. The whole shopping thing I kinda liked, it's not like I go to shops very often, so it wasn't an issue. I agree with the hunting animation though, but I didn't do much if any hunting, so again, wasn't an issue.
But, wow, 2077 is just one massive middle finger to the people who were so excited for this game.

@CHOAM Nomsky This is what I've encountered more often than not as well. A bunch of shills ready to jump out and defend the company at every turn. When you question these guys on the implication of a demonstration that is "Subject to Change" they wax lyrical on the semantics without even touching what it might mean to the consumer.
Almost the meta of the meta (considering CDPR has now proven itself to be corporate), these are the corpo/corpo-adjacent people Cyberpunk 2077 warns about: the ones that suck on the teat of pragmatism and cost-benefit utilitarianism in exchange for the soul of an experience. Baffling indeed.
@CHOAM Nomsky I honestly believe most of them defending it are in denial. They know they got scammed and lied to and are just too self conscious or proud to admit it.
@CHOAM Nomsky That’s so strange. I mean if it was a little bit worse than the final product that’s ok I mean we see that all the time but these are drastic changes that (dare i say it) OBJECTIVELY make the game worse.
You'll also never see a npc get on a elevator and will never see a npc riding a motorcyle outside of jackie and panam.

"the bugs are overshadowing how bad the core game is" Agreed. trust me i played 300+ hours on my high end pc.
unfortunately what we see on the internet is comments about bugs and optimization, so i highly doubt the core gameplay features that are incomplete, missing, etc will get developed. they will fix the bugs, give some free DLC as bone for the blind fanboys to chew, and they'll say "the game is playable. go play and leave us alone". there won't be a No Man's Sky redemption arc.
@@SapiaNt0mata I agree. Thanks for seeing my point. People online tend to defend the game and fight me without realizing im not intentionally flaming the game but just pointing out the lacklustre final product after properly playing a few hundred hours to make sure I tried best to enjoy the game they made. Its a great game ngl but pales in comparison to other open world games we've played. And yes I rather they focus on w4 or w3 next gen. Im not the least bit interested in the DLCs either.

Thank you. People in the comments keep talking about the game looking pretty but being an empty shell... I'm sorry, but is it even "pretty"? The environment looks nice but the characters, cars, UI, special effects, sound design, etc. are all awful. They look like PS3 Saints Row lol.
@@madtonesbr Depends on what system your playing it on. If its on base PS4 and Xbox One, it's going to look awful. If you're playing it on high end PC with good settings, it looks amazing, one of the best looking games out now with RTX ultra. The game is just poorly optimized for certain systems.
Graphics was provided by Nvidia's RTX crew you have to consider. It was Nvidia's investment to finally get a AAA RTX game released. Looks quite astonishing. Effects are poor though. Lip sync adaptation is good but for some reason, it's desynced with a fixed delay. This only confirms my suspicion that it was intentionally manufactured this way. The cars that fall down from nowhere, I've seen this scene so often that it most likely was scripted as well. This isn't a glitch. The fact that you instantly die when trying to enter the floor beneath, it's indicative that they have something hidden there and don't want you to see it yet. Maybe I'll try to cheat it and find out what's there. They only couldn't mess with the graphics as well because it was provided with Nvidia's support.
@@matfax What are you talking about? The cars falling and lip desyncing are just common glitches, the reason why you can't gl to those certain areas is because they're obviously out of bounds and weren't designed to be explored.
@@akuisbestgirl2448 Glitches are borderline effects, not something predictable and repeatable like this. Lip desync is constant. The algorithm works fine but always with a certain delay. Not like in the trailers. I've visited other off-boundary areas of the game and you don't instantly die there.
I hit a bug in the main storyline over a week ago and despite trying every trick I could find online, I'm just stuck. I was on holidays all week with nothing to play because I was waiting for these guys to patch their game. Incidentally, a different game I bought DLC for is also bugged. Getting real tired of this multi-billion dollar industry releasing garbage to consumers and expecting us to just wait around for them to fix it, maybe, weeks if not months after release. The whole industry needs to shape up !
I think developers and marketers need to hold back on the hype train. Take the Nintendo approach of releasing a game when they know it's 100% finished.
The problem is, they often still make money. And they lose reputation, but the next time, enough people give them money again that it doesn't matter.
Mobile gaming is so much bigger, and monetizable with no backlash, we might just lose the industry eventually. Especially with the way these companies have been treating employees.
This might sound strange but I don't buy PS4 games or Xbox One till years later when I know the games have either a complete collection or the DLC or they have finished releasing it completely. As usually this is a problem I have with brand new games in that generation. Only brand new game I pre order are Nintendo and they never fail day one. Not to this extent anyway.
@@crabbuckets7506 I feel the exact same way. I never played AC Odyssey until 2 years after it was released and the same with Origins. I bought Valhalla day one because I was on a roll and what do you know. 2 months after release date and I can't finish off the story because a glitch won't let me interact to start the quest line. Learnt my lesson.
Agree. To me feels like indie gaming saving the industry tho
The fact that CDPR ever even tried to compare a Rockstar masterpiece like RDR2 to Cyberpunk is just…wow.
rdr2 is not a masterpiece. it is amazing but far from perfect
@@greaseboi4 you are right its not perfect
@@greaseboi4 That’s just like your opinion man. To me and many, many others it is very much so a masterpiece.
*Flawed masterpiece
Yeah
That sounds better
I can find flaws in other masterpieces like Team Fortress 2 or Metal Gear Solid 3, doesn't change the fact that they are masterpieces
@@greaseboi4 no game is flawless but then again cyberpunk is more like a joke than a flawed game.
This is so painful....... I couldn't imagine being a dev on this game and having the game pushed out and released like this...... I would pour vinegar in my eyes.....
If I were in that person's shoes, I would genuinely rethink about my life and how it came to this career path
Hopefully and that's a big naive and optimistic idea. I hope they update the game like crazy and fix everything this video mentioned at least some of what this video mentioned like the little things like dolls enemy ai, npc interaction stuff like that
@@Alphine-iq9dx the problem is much deeper liek he said its not just repair bugs and glitches...
@@N3207H05 I mean yeah they just got rid of a couple features that was cool ik
Ubisoft make unfinished games 90% of the time and the games are always playable and enjoyable.
2 years story writing, 6 years advertising, and 6 months coding.
*_EigHT YeArs LatER_*
2 years of story writing is generous
I'm at the 4th year of 5 in coding school.
I could have programmed NPC driving and lifestyle better.
Bruh CDPR
@@gucciwingsbadger1862 I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt considering the photos they showed of the original script, seeing as I can't know how much of it was cut.
More like 2 months story writing, 8 years advertising, 6 hours coding.
This is the best review I’ve ever seen BeatEmUps do. The best editing. The best music video. Just everything. Since Cyberpunk wasn’t next gen, BeatEmUps was.
Witcher 3: Look at all these details you didn't notice
Cyberpunk: Look at all these details we cut from the game
I feel bad for people who were hyped for this game for 8 years
This game was talked about more than 8 years ago... Good thing I never pre-order and don't trust promotion since Peter Molyneux's "Magic Carpet".
Yeah I didn’t know about it until last year so it wasn’t as big of a disappointment
i hope nobody will have depression because of this game because i'm feeling very sad every time i thinking about it
That's me Mario. Im never pre-ordering a game again. Also i am extremely saddened by it.
Bro people didn’t have this on their mind for 8 years lol they just reminded everyone about it in 2018 in case we forgot about it then moved on till It came out it’s just another game it’ll come and go like the rest
"Work In Progress. Does Not Represent The Final Look Of The Game".
At least, they didn't lie on this one...
Night City is beautiful, as long as you don’t try to actually interact with it in the slightest.
Insane thing is that after all the patches and 2 years its pretty much the same, same shallow experience. Only thing they fixed are the bugs..thats it
are you?..... stupid? For real? CP2077 at the moment is an absolute blast brimming with content... like wtf?!
@@Pixx2266 cool story bruh...
@@SapiaNt0mata ? I don't see any comment from me. But I guess it's probably something about the OPs moronic post. Cp2077 at this time is absolutely amazing.
@@Pixx2266😂 the video is still applicable lol
@@Pixx2266 It's literally the same game, minus the bugs and with a desperate attempt to introduce promised mechanics like the subway and police system. You can't fix the story, characters, and gameplay post-launch with patches.
This was the honest and scathing review of Cyberpunk I was looking for, but I didn't imagine that Wood would be the one to do it or that he would do it so well. Love the different style!
I love that you have clips about what youre talking about. To back everything up
This video got all the need and care, that Cyberpunk never did
We didn't start the fire is my favorite song so this ending really cheered me up.
Best $60 I ever saved.
Same
Same x2
same x3
64 dollars to be exact
same x4
This was brilliant! You put so much work into this and I see now why it took you a while to make. I remember seeing the game trailers and thought this is going to be great. Really glad I waited and didn’t buy it straight away, I definitely would of been so disappointed.
Also love the song, beats the old town road one you did 😂
CD PROJEKT doesnt have to program NPCs in the game because they programmed 13 million NPCs to pay money for a "game". They just took it to the next level. - the game is in the real world & a lot of people got played.
Anybody knows whats the name of the original song?
The song is "We Didn't Start the Fire" by Billy Joel.
@Hue Wong - I just watched the end of the video. - BeatEmUps did a good job with this one.
@@aryanchakraborty3030 we didn’t start the fire
can we get this man on Spotify
watches till end... still needed to be said
This was the FIRST TIME i have ever seen Cyberpunkt 2077 oudside of like 20 seconds of a trailer and that one Picture of the Game... THANKS WOOD
It even gets worse when you find out that the e3 demo was fake, which is not a surprise if you think about it
That non-apology was awful and it's sad so many people fell for it.
@@user-vf3cb7vk8z yeah it actually is
Honestly, the one point Badowski made on the demo was valid. Things don't end up looking like the "final product" until it nears release. In this case, they decided to take the quick money in exchange for the company's reputation. Real solid business move lul. Everything else in that article was utter BS to me.
@@electr1c I get your point and I agree, also let's be honest, it ain't a surprise when all this madness happened so I kinda expected it
@Goan Gino number one, don't call people a simp and number 2, he basically said they took his money and left him in the dust, buuut he is defending them which is sad but respectable
Sadly I agree totally with this guy.
A shame tho.. It had so much potential
There still is, if CD Projekt wants to
I love how people use the word “potential” as if the game actually HAD ANY? Any “potential” that the game had came from the lies that CDPR told...which were never developed or realized in the first place so what “potential” are we talking about? This game is just crap on every level
@@raviolijesus6181 you know what updates are? If they add stuff back they cut off, it can still be something.
Good thing is Witcher 3 also only became what it is now after many updates
@@raviolijesus6181 And there will be a Multiplayer, maybe atleast that will be good
The Capybara k. So when the game MIGHT be good in 4-5 years maybe I’ll play it again. Until then, it’s a totally crap game in every way. Good luck fixing it
Red Dead 2 is such a cool game, I was just amazed with that game, I played for like 8 hours per day for 4 straight months.
Rea Dead Redemption was in development for like 8 years. game started development with over 1,000 developers, and at some point there were 2,800 developers working on the game. if it wasn't good it would be a huge problem.
Cyberpunk 2077 is the most manipulative and illusionistic game ever
90% marketing, 10% game
@@youwererightdreamer1152 and you're still saying this even when the game is fully fixed by now? I mean your loss if you don't want to try this game out. The Expansion is amazing too would recommend giving this game another chance if I were you.
Bugs and glitches were fixed. It's still a boring, linear mess. On-rail action-adventure game.
@@bmsuperstar1if you don't like story games go play cod or FIFA, I'm sure they have some repetitive dogshit for you, if you like fleshed out world building narrative titles with amazing combat that's better anything rockstar has put out in decades then play cyberpunk
@@goopguy548 Rockstar games are infamous for their poor stories. CDPR wasn't.
First two Witcher games take a major dump both on Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk when it comes to storytelling.
FYI, I haven't played a CoD game since World at War. I enjoy a good cyberpunky type story, but Cyberpunk 2077 just wasn't that good at all.
I am surprised the daily routine is not present. 11 years ago, the Sims 3 (2009) has daily routines for all the townies, and they will go to places autonomously based on their traits. Since this is a promised feature, it shouldn't be removed from the game unless the game is not finished. It is just sad that the development team has clearly put a lot of work into the game already, but the efforts do not end up in a satisfactory project that is clearly rushed and not ready for release.
Yeah. This Game is soo unfinished... I wonder if they will ever deliver what they promised
Cyberpunk was so buggy Johnny silverhand managed to glitch out in to the real world and become a real person named Keanu Reeves. That’s was breathtaking.
And a breathtaking comment .
@@DeHaos NO yOU'rE BReAtHtAkINg!
@@DeHaos 😁 ty I dud try
They blew the budget on Keanu Reeves.
Truth 😆
As soon as you saw it, you knew what was going to happen.
They can not craft a decent functional cyberpunk game with or without Keanu Reeves, they just simply can't; the goal was too high for them
@@seelverado2492 that's the sad truth 😔
Keanu and Grims
I want to see an entire compilation about Hwangbo because that is the best glitch I've seen yet.
