Cyberpunk 2077: How 2020’s biggest video game launch turned into a shambles

I’m on PS4 pro and have the same take as you. Game is fine to play, collision bugs & other graphic related bugs are issues that should be resolved. The game is not unplayable, the universe is well designed, story enjoyable BUT bug are common and I cant imagine playing on a base PS4. My experience with the pro is probably my lowest acceptable limit to play a game.

I’ve completed it on the base PS4. Spent about 25 hours.

- I had maybe 5 hard crashes.

- Had to walk through doors frequently (I guess they had opened but still showed on screen as closed).

- Got into the car while crouched in one sequence which breaks progression so you have to reload your last checkpoint and get into the car standing to progress.

- HDR is unusable.

- Had to disable all graphical extras (blur, grain) or it looked really messy.

- While driving lights didn’t enable quick enough so that I was driving into darkness as lights turned on after I had passed through.

Those are the main issues I had. Besides that there were constant minor graphical issues.

The story was enjoyable enough that I finished it, largely skipping side quests. Once they have the issues worked out or I have a new console I’ll go back and enjoy the world a bit more.

Worth pointing out I mainly play sports games and only casually. I don’t have the kind of expectations a lot of people would have had for this game and just on bugs alone I would say it should not have shipped. It’s an mid level beta release at best.

Thanks for this. This definitely cements my decision to just wait until they release the next gen version and I get an Xbox Series X. I’m a patient gamer, I can wait. I just played Fallout New Vegas this year on an old Xbox 360 and loved it.
