Just had my most bugged mission yet. One that really highlights how this shouldn't have been released. Mission where you have to kill someone for some guy. Got in his car and he told me to follow a cop car. Whilst following him, the time of day and weather changed about 5 times. Cars were materialising in front of me as I was driving. When I caught up to them the cops were all levitating 10 ft in the air as they were shooting me!

Just saw a Cyberpunk updated message on my desktop but I still think I will leave this for quite a few months yet.
Such a shame. Was excited to play this game but it just doesn't seem ready. My only friend who has it in real life was such a fanboy of the concept that it could've been presented with a steaming turd and he;d still say it was excellent.
Will it ever live up to the hype?

No, because there was FAR too much hype.
That aside, if they'd actually been developing it since the beginning of this thread, rather than apparently mid-2016, we might have had a Cyberpunk 2077 in Night City with an improved police / crime system based on the best of what other games do, GTA style driving, random side mission generated content, decent driving AI (or at least the same as what 5 year+ old games have) far less bugs, and a real RPG style character builder and the ability to re-image or re-spec your character in the game.
Sadly, they underestimated how difficult making all of this actually *IS*.
Surely I'm not the only one enjoying it. There is no denying the issues but this is one of the few open world games I've felt drawn to. I love the protagonist, setting, characters, combat and world immensely. With that said I'm overlooking a lot of problems to be able to enjoy it. I actively try to avoid becoming wanted for example

I'm enjoying it. Like you I am actively avoiding quite a few things though.
I never really believed the hype tbh. I bought it thinking I would find it quite enjoyable and I have. It is not a great game though by any stretch.

I've been playing mostly bug free. For me it's about the same state as witcher 3 and GTA V were on release but I've heard of Skyrim-like glitches and worse.
Got to say it is frustratingly immersion breaking when a glitch comes in though. Puts me right off.

The hype is always poisoned fruit. Never worth buying into. You were wise to not believe.
Bug fixes aside I'm certainly looking forward to future content. Any mechanics they may wish to reimplement, now that the pressure of a release schedule is gone.
I know nothing of the process but I wouldn't of thought it too difficult to create a real AI system for pedestrians, traffic and most importantly, the police. I heard it was the last thing they did.

Getting another 1GB patch coming through Steam.
EDIT:
I managed to get the last patch on, it eventually stopped going up in size, at around 40gb, and it must have deleted the same amount from the game for some reason, as i noticed my drive space grew by the same amount, then after the patch installed, the 40gb filled again, very odd

I just completed it this week and really enjoyed it. Completely agree with everything you said. 100+ hours and there's definitely more hours to come. Don't underestimate the fact that people love to moan and stick the boot in. One of the less desirable human traits in my opinion but what can you do...Surely I'm not the only one enjoying it.

I've found ways to enjoy the game, though I'm not enjoying it as much as I was at the moment but I've had to find my own ways to get some enjoyment out of the game - out the box it was not a great experience especially when it comes to key binds and some things are just broke and you have to accept that and find ways to work with that.
Some people will find an immense amount of stuff to entertain themselves with exploring the world and diving into some of the background stuff and less obvious stories that are going on, etc. but personally I can only get so far into that kind of stuff before it bores me once I have a general feeling for it.
The more hours I put in the more buggy it is getting though - over 100 hours in and I'm starting to see cars spawn and then go flying high into the air in the distance as I move around which wasn't happening before and occasionally results in issues and/or poor performance when their physics gets stuck.

I found that the characters and the writing was enough to carry me through to the end but everything else did start to wear thin towards the end quarter of my 80 hours
Bugs that I initially ignored became more noticeable and suchlike
Same as above though, I never let the hype take me past "I really want to play this and think I will enjoy it"
Never had any delusions about it changing my life or the world

LOL this game - completed a mission and got a reward for not killing anyone - despite headshotting atleast one person. Another mission completed it with the remain undetected bonus because I was moving so fast no camera latched on to me despite having every single NPC in the mission running after me like a train trying to attack me but I had enough health to just run through and ignore them.

The game is fraudulent - what is being sold is not what was claimed to be sold. That isn't just "people love to moan and stick the boot in". Objecting to be defrauded is not a "less desirable human trait".
The game is fraudulent - it was sold on platforms that could not run it. That isn't just "people love to moan and stick the boot in". Objecting to be defrauded is not a "less desirable human trait".
The game is riddled with game-breaking bugs on many combinations of hardware, on top of a high level of lesser bugs. That also isn't just "people love to moan and stick the boot in".
Then there's the UI, which is inconsistent with itself in numerous ways and is consistent only in being consistently bad.
I've played it for ~105 hours. I've enjoyed most of it. But I'm not willing to pretend it's not seriously flawed and I'm not going to denigrate people with legitimate criticisms.
I'm getting the same. Cars randomly exploding. Sections of roads disappearing so I'm riding (I use a motorbike rather than a car) over an eerie blackness with bits of the gameworld under the surface showing. Various graphics remaining onscreen until I do the save/load shuffle, e.g. the window for a text message. Etc.
Incidentally, if anyone's after an area to train combat skills and/or quickhacking the beach between the two piers in Pacifica is the best place I know of. You can fast travel to the "Pacifica pier" fast travel point for convience. There are several clusters of gang members on the beach. Groups of 3 in little cabins on the beach and larger groups partying in 1 or 2 places. It varies when I go there - sometimes 1 big group, sometimes 2. Maybe down to the time of day. Anyway...what makes this a farming area is that the gang members respawn when you leave the area and the "edges" of the area are on the beach. The southern end is the quickest because the biggest group of gang members is very close to the "edge" of the area. Kill the big group of gang members partying by a house. Kill the 3 gang members hanging around a small building (some kind of shop?) nearby, run for a few seconds to reach the southern pier (where some scavvers have a murder for parts shop), turn round, run back and the gang members you killed ~20 seconds earlier have respawned. Repeat as much as you like. You could also loot the corpses for endless amounts of stuff to scrap or sell, but that takes a lot more time. There are civilians partying with the gang members so you'll probably want to avoid AoE weapons or random shooting of everyone in sight, but even that's not a problem if you're roleplaying a psycho killer with no ethics due to the wildly dysfunctional way the police system works in Cyberpunk 2077. Police can't enter Pacifica, so you won't get the magic teleporting police beaming in behind you as they do elsewhere in the game. Since the PC has unexplained powers to automatically erase all records of them in the police database and from the memories of all police officers ("Here come the men in black. They won't let you remember") you can do anything in Pacifica without any chance of any repercussions from the police.

Just in case you do:
It's the site of a hidden side job with the 6th Street gang. On a roof nearby there are some gang members having a party and shooting contest. You can enter the contest, which involves drinking spirits and shooting at targets. Shots and shots! Subtle gang humour. Those faces are the targets, the police line "tape" is the minimum firing range for the contest. If you hit every target within the time limit (IIRC there are a total of 44 targets in 4 locations) using the crappy pistol provided for the contest you win the prize, which is a unique legendary gun. Or you could kill them all and steal it.

My V never got it because they failed to hit all the targets in the required time and wasn't extremely hostile to the 6th street gang at the time so didn't just kill them all on sight.
