I don’t know why anyone was expecting this game not to have a huge amount of bugs. It’s not ready and it was never going to be ready in time but theyre releasing it anyway because people would go nuts if it delayed again.
The truely finished game won’t be available for probably another year. It’s always games that try to really expand on player agency in the world that have bugs. I mean bethesda is canned for their bugs but they have so much more played agency in their game’s than anything else. It’s the trade off you have to accept for such ambitious game design.
when we can get machine learning up to a point where it can analyse complex code and flag bugs more precisely this stuff will start to become a thing of the past and we will get truly complex worlds, but alas that’s still probably another ten years away and probably two gens worth of consoles. Still. We‘re going to see some amazing shit this gen. This game was started snd built primarily around ps4 and Xbox one level hardware and this is what we are seeing now? It’s freakin amazing and the future looks bright.
Game seems quite short, I will play through now just because I can’t wait even though I know I’d enjoy it more if I did, I will play again in the future though and see how much it’s improved.

Well if the game is getting low scores because some delusional mentally ill person is angry that the game doesn't cater to their pet delusion, then those scores should not be considered.

It does seem like the game has some bugs, which obviously is a fair criticism. I'm thinking I might not play this on Friday night but waiting until right after X-mas day so I can enjoy it in peace during the off work holiday. This way maybe they can squash some of the bugs. None of them seem gamebreaking but I do lose immersion when I see chars floating or in t-pose.
I've waited 8 years, I can wait 2 more weeks. This is Cd Projket Red, I am 100% sure they will fix this game as soon as possible and it will be the great game we all wanted. Some say they should have still delayed it. I dunno, sometimes you just need to finally release something and start working from there, else you always start to wonder hey maybe I can change this also, maybe we can add this, and you get into feature creep again. Its all good in my book, I trust this company to do right by this game.

Could be but then this game would be the new Crysis, right? I mean, those hardware recommendations are insane even for next gen systems.

I thought Minamoto said something different.
But now we have patches that can make a rushed game good eventually.
In their case I believe they could have delayed it a bit more for polishment.
CDPR just need more time/patches to makes the game ok.

"Damn you CDPR, stop delaying CP2077, we want to play it"
"Damn you CDPR, why did you release a buggy game"
It's just like when The Witcher 3 released, messy bugged game
Let the devs take their time finishing their game instead of literally fucking threatening them to release it earlier

Lol it's safe to assume then that the console versions might be just a bit shit.

After reading some of the reviews looks like it's great game with a ton of bug which is pretty much what happened with TW1 and TW2.
Now do I play it now or wait few weeks that is a question.

But she's not judging the game based on just the trans issues. The trans issue is the big example she wraps her critique about how the game handles culture and ethnicity. Her entire point is despite the genre's potential she feels the game has no real nuance in handling these things. Instead using them for cool wallpaper. Trans and the voddoo boys are the example of this.
I don't know this reviewer and I don't care to. Perhaps she is trans or is close to the issue. I have no idea. But yes it seems on more progressive leaning websites, they are docking the game for some of it's tone deaf substance.
This is wrong how?

Probably but that was expected, no?
They will get them right in the following months.
The good is that they delivered again a high quality AAA game.

I can say i have zero interest in this game, but i was looking at what resetera was doing and oh my god 
They are really convint that a Polish country, will ruin their game to adapt some features to support some American Wokeness? Didn't they understand that America isn't the world, and they need to stop to impose what the other country need to do? Stop exporting this shit, well, not only this, a lot of things that are light years far away from other realities.

Some apparently STILL want to believe it will fail too. Some people just want to rain on other's parades I suppose.
In Yong's video he mentioned that after downloading the patch and starting a new character a floating weapon bug (that occurred frequently) no longer occurred. So it probably fixed some other things as well. But if he played on his other save that existed BEFORE the patch, the bug still occurred. So it may have required a new save to take form. Take that as you will!

Could be, I almost feel like I'm in clown world listening to industry vets say they are downloading and even buying PS4 copies of games on accident with PS5.

Um, the bad review scores have only been given by SJW activists so far, and the majority of their complaints are about SJW issues.

The only interesting reviews are the low scores and to find out why

Well, how do people who disagree but do not have the privilege of having the bully pulpit a media position provides get their voices heard.
Journalists are notoriously unresponsive to criticism. How do people who are not journalists get a say?

I'm just not interested in DLSS right now, only interested in the native res figures. DLSS makes locking to 60 possible so its great for those that want to use it. I've not been able to see native vs DLSS on my display yet though so I could be pleasantly surprised by how it looks, I do notice the difference in youtube compressed DF video though so I'm not sure native will help in that regard, if anything will be more noticeable.

After reading some reviews, this is what i get:
- Best city ever created in a videogame
- Solid FPS gameplay (not on melee)
- TOP NOTCH RPG elements, specially in choices/consequences.
- Side quests that are even better than the main quest, most of the reviews even say that are better than The Witcher 3
- Solid driving gameplay
- Amazing characters, story and script
So, if we take out the negativenes about major bugs and the "bigotry problematic" what we have...one of the best games ever made.
Again, this is only after reading reviews, not playing the game, my opinion probably will be very different as always.

I'm not too bugged by the reports of the er ... bugs ... even the PC Gamer article (78) reads like glowing praise of the game up through the very last paragraph, and it's clear the score is a reflection of the bugs. I think it's fair to knock a score for a technical reason like that. But the one or two sites which have allegedly knocked the game for social reasons ... too subjective a topic to include that in a review score in my opinion. Best to leave that out.

The game sounds like it’s going to be fucking amazing but have quite a few bugs. Fuck it, I’m all in. I can’t wait until my copy comes in.

Fiction and reviews aren't made in a vacuum. The reviewer's problem is that all these handling of material lacks and depth to it. That in are current day it has nothing to say and instead just uses it for dark wallpaper. I have no idea, I haven't played the game. But I did have some caution about a polish developer making a US centric game like this and if the writing would be on the level. I have no idea if it is, but clearly she finds problem with it.
I mean even in her article she makes fan of its use of the cyperpunk corruption aspect. Yeah these are heartless and cold corporations that still trade on steryptical Japanese ethic writing. Is that good writing? Is that staying true to cyperpunk writing? Is that for the atmosphere? She did'nt think so. Is she wrong? Maybe? I don't know it's a review and she feels the writing falls flat. hardly a problem.
Um I've played the table top game, avid fan of Ghost in the Shell, Blade Runner, and cyperpunk film in general. Read many times Snow Crash and Nueromancer. You seem to be confused about what you are even arguing and upset that someone has a different perspective.

PC version is the best version, I hope console version is not a mess, but One S leaks looked terrible, if that the case, the backlash will be big and the score lower.
Coulomb_Barrier

Oh be real. This was hyped as the Game of the Gen to put it mildly yet you can be certain it won't even hit a 90 on MC (the averages always drop a couple of points looking at the number of reviews currently).
A dev leak said that the bosses were aiming for this game to be a critical smash. That won't be the case at all.

Honestly, that's all I'm really hoping for. I put a ton of hours into The Witcher 3 solely because the side content was great. If Cyberpunk is the same, I'll be happy.

Not interested in DLSS? Watch the Death Stranding DF video in case you need convincing. DLSS 2.0 is amazing!

Nuanced quest writing is definitely CDPR's thing as evidenced by Witcher 3. I'm just hoping they can bring the same panache when not drawing from a universe as rich with existing writings (e.g. the Witcher novels).

It sounds to me like this game is going to have some really strong power creep when it comes to its quality as time goes by. Right now it's sitting at a 91 after 43 reviews. The main complaint is that it's very very very buggy, so it's safe to say that the bugs dragged its MC score down a few points.
That's said I would say by this time next year, not only will most of the bugs be polished and ironed out, we'll probably also have the next gen version by then, not to mention possibility of DLC. Long-term I see this game having a lot of staying power, and strong legs.

Console reviews won’t be added to the PC aggregate score btw so it seems like CDPR accomplished what they wanted for now.

Well, I've already explained to you exactly why it's wrong in connection to the trans issue. The voodoo boys issue is even more stupid. They actually used to be white guys, as imagined by Cyberpunk's original black creator, Mike Pondsmith. Pondsmith and CDPR then got together and decided it would be better if they turned this gang into Haitians and actually put in some effort to have that representation be accurate. So if it's good enough for the black creator of Cyberpunk, and presumably the Haitians who consulted on the project, why is not good enough for this white girl?
Come on, it's weak, and that's probably why reviewers who don't have their pronouns in their bios aren't going there. These people have just decided CDPR are the enemy and they're looking to have their bias confirmed.

They do have a bit from the original pen and paper game, but maybe not as much as they did from the witcher novels. It'll be interesting, though.

Yeah I've seen it all, I prefer the native image 9/10, I don't really want to get into the reasons why here because at this point I just feel like I'm being a curmudgeon when DLSS is discussed. Don't want to be a downer if people love it. I've watched resolutions rise as the years have gone on and I'm still in awe at a native 4K in most games, I don't really want to go back to a lower res even if its "basically the same as native". I'm a bit of a stickler for pixel quality these days cause I got a giant TV.

I'd like to think that gives them room to expand. There's always a downside with writing in a well-established universe.
AFAICT, CDPR's writing has always been solid, so I'm really looking forward to where they go with this.
