⚡ NEW: Id/shatterediphone/recommended/ - Collection

Yes, I don't have a ton of time in this game. However, I shouldn't need to have a ton of time to tell everyone about yet another bad experience with this game. I've never been into single player games mainly because of the fact that a good majority of them seem to be overhyped like this one. I've had Cyberpunk in my library for a while but kept putting off playing it based off the reviews. Now that I've had a chance to mess with it a little I can say I don't recommend buying unless it's on sale. Almost 5 minutes into my playthrough, the game somehow caught an audio bug and simply won't get rid of it from restarting. A game of this caliber simply shouldn't have issues like this. I mean, I remember all the hype around this game, then they postponed the launch, and almost 3 years later, after MANY updates, THERE ARE STILL ISSUES.

Things I don't like:
- This is a SINGLE PLAYER GAME, IT SHOULD SHIP WITHOUT BUGS!!!!!!
I mean seriously, any SP games from even just 5 years ago wouldn't dare launch with BIG bug problems...


- After almost 3 years of time to fix EVERYTHING, I'm not able to download this game and play it fresh without a bug.
Come on now, forgetting the first thing I mentioned, Say it's normal for a single player title to launch with bugs, It's been
nearly 3 years since launch and I can't fresh install this game and start a new save without a terrible experience.

- Performance!!! Despite using around 60 to 80% of my CPU and ONLY 11% of my GPU at peak load in the benchmark, I
can't get over 60FPS with RTX on. Grant it, I'm "only" running a 3060 12GB GPU. Funny enough, a card that launched
AFTER this game. I understand that this game is one of the most demanding to ever be made. I just can't help to be a
little pissed off when I read the RECOMMENDED SPECS to RUN THIS GAME. It's honestly laughable to see that my $1,300
pc (at the time) can't max out a nearly 3 year old game. Meanwhile the recommended spec to run this game is a FOURTH
GEN INTEL CPU, AND a 6GB GPU. NOT to MENTION the 12GB RECOMMENDED RAM. I'm using nearly 12GB of my 32GB
while playing, it's absolutely ridiculous... To have a DECENT experience the recommended specs should definitely be the
minimum!

- The community OVERLOOKING the BUGS!!!
I can't fathom how Cyberpunk, EVEN in it's CURRENT STATE, has "mostly positive" reviews. There's NO WAY I could
recommend a friend this game knowing, AFTER NEARLY 3 YEARS SINCE RELEASE, They are most likely to have some sort
of issue that makes it unpleasant to play this game.


Things I like (so far):
- Story line.
So far the story line gives me good vibes lol. But that's really all I can say about that since I haven't been able to go more
than about 5 minutes into the story. The audio bug I currently have makes it almost painful to play a story oriented game.

- Graphics.
With my performance complaint in mind, this is one of the BEST looking games currently on the market. Most people
aren't going to be able to see it in that capacity though. It's very unfortunate that somebody would have to pay the price
of a decent used car in order to max out this game. And still probably run into an annoying bug lmao...

-------------------------
That's about it. I can't recommend this game to my friends or honestly anybody for that matter. It looks fantastic, and seems to have an "OK" story so far. But realistically, I'd refund this game if I bought it today and found myself having to google an audio fix for a nearly 3 year old game. I remember this game being advertised as THE BEST looking game to ever be made, and it's true. That is if you have a $3,000 PC... Along with that, we all know what the Steam hardware survey looks like. Most people might be able to play this game, but they definitely won't be enjoying it "as advertised"
