I keep reading the worst about cyberpunk on hn but when my soulmate played it (on pc) they really enjoyed it and only stumbled upon very few bugs. As for seizures apparently it had a warning at the start about them.

The console versions are supposedly significantly worse than PC, to the point of being unplayable

  4-5 hours through on a ps4 and it crashed twice, with one or two graphics glitches. Im really enjoying it and think it looks amazing, but then again I walk around slowly so maybe missing the rendering issues. Obviously though there are some issues effecting some players far more than others, could have got lucky.

  I'm playing it on an Xbox Series X and have only run into a couple bugs that weren't game-breaking. What surprises me is how lackluster the visuals are compared to last-gen games like Horizon Zero Dawn and Ghost of Tsushima. I'm playing both on a PS4 Pro and Cyberpunk doesn't hold a candle to either of them graphically.

    I just finished playing The Witcher 3 on Xbox and feel Cyberpunk is far far below the visual quality of The Witcher. Partly because the HDR is so washed out, but there simply isn't nearly as much detail to it.

    The game looks gorgeous on PC. Probably doesn't look as good on the consoles.

  It seems to me that PS4 version has to be significantly worse than Xbox version because otherwise I don't see where the issue comes from. I play it on Xbox one S and don't experience any kind of game breaking bugs. On the other hand at least on XB one S the first loading screen is completely messed up which makes one question how that could possibly pass Microsoft's QA.

The press coverage for Cyberpunk seems to be far worth than what you usually see for games similarly bugged at release, especially for a game with good review on PC. Then again, it's a Polish game from a studio with no American office and apparently with little regard for the current trend in American culture (cue The Guardian review). I didn't really expect less.

  > it's a Polish game from a studio with no American office and apparently with little regard for the current trend in American culture (cue The Guardian review) The Guardian righty criticized Cyberpunk for misogyny and xenophobia. The idea that these concerns are just some quirk of Anglo-American culture which is alien to Poles is an idiotic, offensive, condescending assertion which manages to be equally wrong about both America and Poland.

    No it isn't. Those concepts are a fetish of a very small (yet influential) group of people residing exclusively in the West. 90% of the world doesn't care. And as a Polish person myself, I can assure you this is not a condescending and not wrong about Poland at all. And just because you are offended it doesn't make you right.

      You have no women in your society concerned with misogyny? I know for a fact that isn't true as I work closely with several Polish women (residing in Poland). Perhaps they are not representative of others, but I doubt very much Poland is free from misogyny and that women don't care either way. The idea that 90% of the world doesn't care about something that affects 50% of the population is a reach. And the idea that nobody cares about xenophobia also seems unlikely. It's a less diverse country, sure, but the debate around migrants in Poland have been public and at times quite emotive. Maybe it's all smoke no fire, but it when Jaroslaw Kaczynski helped the PiS rise to power while denigrating migrants throughout, you can't help but be doubtful that xenophobia isn't meaningful to some of those smaller pockets of non-native Poles in your country. EDIT: I do not know if these concerns are merited within the context of the game itself. I have not played Cyberpunk 2077. I only take issue with your belief that misogyny and xenophobia are of no concern to people in central or eastern Europe. It sounds like an opinion of someone without such cares personally, not someone who can attest that such cares are unwarranted.

> As for seizures apparently it had a warning at the start about them. Added post-release with a patch after seizures have been reported in news.

  It was added before release, but after review copies had went out. AFAIK, only one person had a seizure from it.
  - r053bud 6y ago
    This is not true. I played it at launch and there were no warnings and contained the seizure inducing Brain Dance sequence. It was fixed about 3 days into me owning it.
  - kifhuwzrsa 6y ago
    I believe the seizure warning was added in patch 1.04

They also changed the part that caused the said seizures. It was because of a blinking light in a part of the game but that was changed.

From what I can tell, people are inconvenienced by some bugs on PC, but they're extremely obvious on the old generation of consoles.
