I have finished Cyberpunk but I will not have a review up today as I could not comply with CDPR’s embargo requirement that prohibited us from using our own recorded gameplay in the review. Instead, we were told to use b-roll, which is basically trailer footage.
Reviews should not be vehicles for rolling out more marketing material, so I’ll put my review up when I’m able to show you the reality of the game with my own footage.
I’m also disappointed that no console review code was provided to any outlet…
Console games are often reviewed without their day one or even day zero patches, so Cyberpunk would not have been special in this regard. Its really lame that no reviewer can tell you how this game runs on console on the review embargo.
I absolutely love this game and I think CDPR did extraordinary work, but its clearly unfinished at this point and no review relying on trailer footage alone can properly convey that.
First and foremost, don’t read the comment section. Everyone should be on high alert for spoilers from now until they finish the game.
Avoid browsing ‘new’ anywhere, and hell just avoid the internet altogether.
I wanted to give away copy of Cyberpunk 2077 to celebrate the holiday spirit and the end of a trying year for all.
Comment below if interested. Winner will be chosen at random and PMed at 5PM ET.
Take care and remember to be kind.
Once again, avoid the comment section to avoid spoilers.
EDIT: Congrats to /u/headin2sound for winning! For everyone else, I am passing on good vibes to you all in hopes that 2021 will be your best year yet. I love you all. Cheers.
