Right now, I lack a system that can handle the game well enough that I wouldn't fear having issues. I hope I hear better things about the game over the next few months, because I think I'd really enjoy the game if it is working properly.

I'm playing it on a PS4 Slim, and besides crashing to desktop every hour or so, runs fine. Yes, the framerate can dip - but only when all fuck breaks out. I mean, it's getting slammed by people who do not understand how much can actually go on. I found most crashes happen when a mission part advances to the next. FYI: I did not pay anywhere near $60 for it, more like $40, and I played Daggerfall for 12 years ~ so I'm not all that miffed.  Actually reminds me of Daggerfall (1994) in certain ways:
Great concept and lots of play, bad execution and buggy as all get out. Oblivion & Skyrim's problems were NOTHING compared to Daggerfall! Lots of bugfixes by the community and STILL: http://slushpool.dfworkshop.net/BUGS.html
Site created on 2011, for a 1994 game, and we get this at the top: If you'd like to get hacking on Daggerfall, here are some suggestions for things you could fix.

I believe THIS is the future of Cyberpunk 2077 decades from now! Another classic, broken, but beloved!

The problems you describe in your first two sentences are enough to kill my interest. I don't buy buggy games and put a labor of love into trying to make them work. They either work right, or I don't bother with them. For now, Cyberpunk 2077 is something I won't be bothering with, but I'll give it a year and perhaps pick it up after I buy a new system to see how it shakes out.

Soooooo Disappointed.  Graphics were terrible. By the time I got the new xbox I was already down on the game. Played it for like 20 total hours and its still not moving me like I thought it would. Maybe I was thinking IT SHOULD BE more like  SHADOWRUN and it's not.  But the initial experience killed me.

THE BEST REVIEW I HAVE SEEN YET:


I really do enjoy ACG, even though he's either getting a little drunk, or a little troll-y. Either way, a WIN!

Yeah...

I definitely am going to give this one a hard pass for at least 6 months, probably a whole year, to see how it shakes out. If I hear they've made major improvements, I can put it on my list for the next holiday season.

Happy to have provided A TRUTH for you, in these troubling times!
 

I'm in the process of planning for a new PC build in the early part of this year, since my current PC is going on 10 years old and barely runs YouTube these days.

I want to play Cyberpunk, but I don't have the budget for a $800-plus video card. Which is why rumors of Nvidia's new RTX 3050 and RTX 3050ti cards have caught my attention.

In a nutshell, the rumored 3050 cards would be under $200 and include raytracing. They would theoretically fit the same niche as the 750ti and 1050ti cards of yore: an affordable card that punches above its weight class.

There has been no official announcement on these yet, though unofficially the cards showed up on Lenovo's website as options for an upcoming gaming laptop.

It is possible they will be officially announced at CES next week.

I'm not holding out much hope since CDPR now has to finish their micro-transaction funded multi-player version. A new version that offers a significant boost in revenue potential over fixing their single-player game.

I watched a video called "Underpromise, Sell, Underdeliver" by CrowbCat which chronicles the progress of the game. It's incredible at this stage to look back at all the features that were cut, particularly the branching story paths.
