The console version of Cyberpunk is super rough and unfinished.

There are constant bugs and crashes a month the following:

Controller: the feel and smoothness of aiming and Mac with controller is really bad. Combine this with horrible frame rate and it’s nauseating. Literally.

Characters: most NPCs don’t interact well or at all and when they talk their moths don’t move. The general AI and animations are horrible for a Release this size.

Textures and Pop-In: self explanatory. I know it’s old hardware but even PS5 is running this inferior version and it’s just unfortunate.

Population Density: again even in PS5 now it’s an empty city. Just not the game shown or promised and unless you’re on a high-mid to high end PC rig this game is a shell of what was shown and promised. Again, unfortunate.

Menus: on PS4 all menus auto scroll down. Obviously a bug. In addition the menus I feel need reworking for navigation.

Upgrades and overall Progression: it’s good but I’ve come to expect more from CDPR. And I hope they can update this as they did with the Witcher to make more play styles viable. It’s not as open as it should be.

Animations: overall the animations seem dated and stiff. I’m hoping this too can be updated to give more life to the game.

Cyber Psychos: kind of disappointing in the way they come up and how they are presented. This goes for many side missions too. It was presented in a more organic way in ads and over the years. Even the Witcher 3 seems more organic in many side quests than cyberpunk does at the moment.

I’ve put about 30 hours in at this point and I think I’m going to wait 6 months or so until I get a PS5 and the Next Gen patch comes out. Not to mention the hopefully multiple patches to fix the huge number of bugs and Bad AI in the game. Hopefully by then the beta period will be over and we’ll have the full release. I really don’t want to ruin wait is obviously in its bones a great game, universe and story with a sub-par experience.

Yeah the whole Menu UI is a mess, astheticlly it's fine but functinally it suffers from the same problems I had with The Outer Worlds.

The Character Creator had a few problems too, like why would I ever want to pick my nail polish from what might as well be china, yet I get to pick the length from a sensible distance?

A good point. Also the crafting system is not good nor is it explained or even mentioned. The loot pool seems wonky too. There are just so many issues and problems. And the world seems unlived in. The city at least on consoles is barren. I have every confidence in CDPR to patch this and improve it for Next Gen which is fine. It’s just a shame that we got a beta release of a game that will release in 2021. They should have just delayed the console release.

Even though I'm playing on PS5 and I'm not really turned off by funny graphical glitches, the constent crashing like every 5 hours makes me think that when they said "it's basically turned in to a next-gen game" they should have also said 'and for that reason we're cancelling the current-gen versions', I get why they didn't and I do think they made right call considering they got death threats over a small delay.

PS5 is just the PS4 version running in the better hardware. So it’s still the downgraded and down scaled version on the new hardware. Less NPCs and less res. The PS5 won’t be the actual next gen version until sometime next year when then release that patch.

Again. It should have been delayed. I’m just so disappointed with this game in this state. It has great writing but overall this game is completely unfinished and underperforming. Even the AI is just plain bad. Mechanics and details are not up to par with even GTA V for an open world city based game. That’s really bad.

I get that they had pressure to release and I understand the business of games but damn this is just plain bad. Yes the Witcher 3 was buggy when released and they patched and updated it and the menus and progression and it turned into probably my favorite game ever. But Cyberpunk is leaps and bounds buggier and under cooked to a degree where I would say even with the PC version it should have been another year at least before release.

I know CDPR doesn’t abandon their games and they will patch but I’m wary of underlying systems like AI and general feel of the city if that is something that can be updated and patched. And if they can then it’s still upsetting to have to wait another year minimum until I get to actually ply a game that I own and is released.

I know, I was point it out to let you know I can't comment on any preformance issues outside of it crashing as the PS5 basically eliminates them.
