@Robinsad.... Good but then an 8/10 is just okay FIFA21 level or That Finix rysen game or Days Gone or Metro Exodus or even Valhalla or Tony Hawk 1+2....... Not a 10/10 or 11/10 genre defining masterpiece which this game was touted as.......
So even after the bugs are removed it is still at best okay and not a jaw dropping wow..... This is not a jaw dropper
@fiddle245....... There is a game released years back I think it's Dragon Age or Dragon quest not sure about the title but I know the game has sick dialogue, the dialogue in that game makes the dialogue in CP2077 seem like a 1 page dialogue conversations......
Also the dialogue in CP2077 is a child compared to a simple game like Detroit Become Human. In CP2077 you talked for the sake of talking, yes it may look slightly sexier due to the angle captures of the dialogue scene, but it's just talk for talks sake. In Detroid Become Human the dialogue is impactful cause everything you say or do could very well result in your character dying in a few seconds
So no, no matter much you try to push an angle, The is nothing ground breaking about Cyberpunk2076 and i am not referring to the console version, I am specifically referring to the pc version running on a great 3080 or 3090 on a 20 gen i7 on 32 gb ram. It only shows shinier graphics.
This is simple a CRYSIS situation aka CRYSIS GATE 2, in that i has details image textures and that's about it.
@ShogunRok.......... Thanks for this reply further insight. When the take away from that 2018 media showcase was that "this is not the final build and final game will be different from what was shown in that secrett showcase my suspicions started to kick.
So is it possible that the game was still at Tech-Demo stage at that 2018 media showcase...... Reason I am asking that is no bias or butt-kissing but you are one of the most honest and balance reviewers at Push Square and generally in gaming media and for you to give this game a 3/10 then you know something is inherently wrong at the core of the game even when you ignore the bugs.
Keep up the good hardwork.
P. S.: is there a way for Push Square to allow us to vote for your performances of the year like game awards but for you guys.
You definitely get my reviewer of the year for 2020
@fiddle245..... Tell me this.... What was soo fast about in 1899 wild west.
RDR2 amazingly renders 1899 wild west America like not other media before.
Also life was very boring which is perfectly rendered in the game.
Also the game makes you appreciate money unlike most games. I am not American but I have never valued a dollar like RDR2 make you do. Every dollar counts in RDR2 whereas money is just loot in most games to service the game mechanics and or narrative.
@fiddle245 @zekepliskin...... Today you have proved that two people can has disagreeing conversations with being vile and rude to each other. I have greatly enjoyed our well differing communication.
So I am gonna throw another curve ball at you, how about we do as the Scientific community and redifine the definition of vapourware just like they redifined the definition of a planet which in turn resulted in Pluto no longer being a planet.
So with regards to the definition of vapourware it actually does not need to be redefined, you said "Vapourware is the name given to a product that is promised but never shows up."
So under very high scrutinity of the definition then this game would also qualify since the whole gaming world's idea of Cyberpunk2077 is that initial CGI vision trailer and the final game even on a pc packing either a 3080 or 3090 on a 10 gen i7 does not even come close to the initial 2013 showing, which technically means the product promised in the initial reveal has not shown up, yes the name is still Cyberpunk2077 but not the Cyberpunk2077 shown that all expectations on the game are base on.
I know I'm stretching a bit here, just could help Mt self.
@Flaming_Kaiser....... You are 100% correct. We the gamers and the gaming media are hypocrites.
If this was an EA release, you can bet on your house that this game will be given the "let's give then 2 or months to make the game playable as it was originally promised"
@zekepliskin....... I suppose your point is correct, however my argument for RDR2 and even 1 is that both games' big focus and emphasis are on creating the wild west feel, no movie gives you the feel of how the wild west was, the 2 rdrd games are the best ways to experience the wild west period in the USA.
With regards to Gta online we'll I'm a complete offline gamer and I only dable online for free stuff only, which means I don't like anything online. But credit where it's due, with GtA O is online game play done well to a certain extent and it's not perfect but a million better than most online services or online focused, I can play the game offline without my experience being hindered in an way and the online players can also enjoy the online stuff which not really much a hitch, but as compared to say GT sport where I cannot play the game unless I am online after all the years of support we gave Polyphony with their long development times, as soon as they gone recognized by the FIA they ditched us, that is something to complain about instead of Gta O, I actually hate Sony for allowing polyphony to give the middle finger to all offline players.
With regards to games release volume, it's not a Rockstar only issue it's a general industry wide trend, I think each Sony first party released at best 2 gen this past gen, Microsoft 1st party released 0 games the entire generation, EA except for EA Canada each dev team they hav have mostly leave atleats 1 game. No dev team has released more than 2 x games this past gen.
And to be honest Gta O is just the way Rockstar used to release post launch DLC, it's just that now the DLC are now Calle Gta Online instead of like previous DLC. P. S. : BALLAD OF GAY TONY is the best Gta post launch DLC release. I wish Rockstar would make a stand alone sequal to Ballad of Gay Tony.
@Ralancian...... I get what you are saying but the DAY1 patches are the get-out-of-jail-Free cards that devs you. As much as the money team/management team want to press a release date, you can't tell the devs never said something along the line "it's gonna be tight, but we can fix it with the 1st month's patch.
Look I am mostly an offline player and hate online, mtx and loot boxes that the execx or money teams press on the dev teams. So I am in no way saying the execs are not to blame.
But to say the devs are Angelic lambs who were always looking down and hardworking at every single second without slacking off, is like saying Push Square told @ShogunRok to park his thoughts about the game a release controversially low score review to goes against almost all review on other sites so they can get click bait for the add money.
Now granted Push Square may have told @ShogunRok to do exactly that, but he is totally responsible for final state or outcome of this review.
Unless we are in a IGN kind of situation where CDPR management threatens to fire anyone who does'nt write code the way management wants its to be coded.
Maybe the orriginal game writers and or creative directors left CDPR during the course of development and the game was finished by people who did not start with the project.
For example it is clear that Niel Druckmann has been a major part of the writing team or creative team at naughty dog, cause even after IGN lied about the Ammy situation, the games shows that the Niel is an important part of naughty dog as the creative beats of the games have gone on smoothly.
So at best CP2077 feels like the core dev team that finished it did not start with it otherwise how have they failed to realize their vision, unless the
@Ralancian..... Sorry for the spoilers on GOW to everyone....
Absolutely spot on with CP2077, the most soul crushing thing about the games is the fact that it's so superficial and worst of all it does not have anything ground breaking apart from the city paint job and few characters design cosmetics
@Robinsad.... The problem is that cyberpunk is a binary system based game and not a decimal system based game. That is it is its metrics do count for the game to be in between or avarage or just good or okay, the game is either a genre defining g.o.a.t. masterpiece or a dud or turd, which unfortunately for us it is the latter.
CP2077 is in the same boat as P. T., in that if P. T. was approved from deve and release by Konami if it's not mind low it will fall flat on its face. It's the reason Konami don't want anything to do with even going as to disable to game on PS5, because they know the game has unrealistic expectations that would be uncontrollable should they decided to give go ahead to develop the game if even they bring back Kojima. Ironically P. T. is also the same reason Death Stranding has been as well received.
The worst part is that you yourself are saying without bugs, crash and glitches it is at best a 6/10 game which is shambols from the heights of The Witcher 3.
@DonJorginho.... Cause it's pointless agreeing with the review points but not the review which absurd cause the score is informed by the points in the review.
I was one of the many commenters pushing @ShogunRok for the score cause from initial in progress review he put out it was clear this was a 3/10 released game.
I was concerned that PS would want to be a CDPR media darling after Sammy's love sick ulology article about the game last week.
@zekepliskin...... MAYBE CDPR devs should have been sent to Rockstar for internship, cause Rockstar also released the absolutely sublime and flawless RDR2 in round about the same time frame...
I think this shows the reason Gta is the only open world game to reach and cross 100+ million and counting copies.... Rockstar are to boss of open world games and no other studio can a damn thing about
@Number09..... I fail to buy that the release deadline is something that someone just decided should be done this year, it's like saying someone at EA told the devs to stop what they are doing and release Fifa 22 on Christmas day to catch the Christmas fever and have to fifa title on the market at once. That is absurd. CDPR devs knew the games' release date is 2020 and we should not scape goat management and the game code related problems of the are squarely on the devs.
Remember this game was scheduled for April release and not December release, so if you and @ShogunRok say Management rushed the devs then what where they going to release in April the original release date of the game, also as much as we gamers and the gaming media like to blame the suits, they are not 100% to blame when the initial release date was planned the devs would have been consulted, so why did the dev agree to the release date if the knew they need another 2+ more years.
@ShogunRok...... The review is spot on but I'd like to discuss the "Released too early narrative", the review describes a game running like a game that when through development hell and we know once a game goes into what is called development hell its doomed even if it gets released, a prime example being The Last Guardian and the poster boy being Duke Nukem.
CDPR has had 8 years to make their vision into reality. So has is this game released E3 or too early when they had 8 years.
I am not sure if Push Square was part of the media invited to the secret viewing of the game as I would have like your take from that time to this month of release, the fact they didn't want to show it to the world and we only got carefully selected footage was an alarm sign from.
@Unffclcntrllerpd..... Your 7 score summs up perfect the 3/10 review.
This was promised as a ground breaker 10/10 generation definer and you say when you ignore the bugs the best you can give it is a 7.
Yep the game is an overhyped pathetic mess of a vapourware........ CDPR devs knew they could no do thi game by 2017 that's why they only showed media gampeplay footage at E3 2018 and kept on emphasizing that E3 2018 footage was not how the final game will look. This is why they brought in Keanu Reeves to sweeten the blow.
It's the same trick done by Santa Monica with the 2018 GOW reboot the world building and general narrative is okay and average at best. The reason GOW 2018 is revieade is the fact that Atreus is Loki who is a massively popular character.
So I think all of us have to deal with the fact that CDPR lied to all of us.
@DonJorginho...... You are too much of a CDPR fan boy and apologists to call this review click bait. CDPR actively overpromised a 10/10 or 11/10 game with ultrahype, that it is even a 9 / 10 makes the 3/10 review score 100% legitimate and on point. This was not a refinement of airtravel, we were promised to trip to the moon and you know for such voyages there's is no in between in that you either make it to the moo or you don't, and in this case CDPR and CP2077 failed dismally and this is the product we got. There is nothing groundbreaking about the game even when playing on a 3090. It's just shinier or prettier graphics that has been achieved.
You know a game is ***** when it's supposedly an rpg but the only glowing praise about it is the fact that the cut-scenes / dialog options screen shows the npc moving, posing, walking about etc as they talk and not any of the rpg game play elements.
Accept it. The game promised a lot to all of us but it failed emphatically and we should accept it and move.
@zupertramp..... Pre-orders are like taking an exam or test knowing fully well that if you fail it you can take it again with minimum to no significant consequences.
Killing pre-orders will create the situation of writing an exam with full knowledge that if you fail the is next to no second chance. Hence the pressure to release a product that will be a knock out of the park........ This is how the quality was maintained in the ps1 and ps2 Era.
The ps1 was a relatively low spec system, yet if you were a developer you couldn't complain and says you couldn't do this or that because of system constraints, you had to make it otherwise you would look incompetent.
Nowadays devs have so many tools and even better and powerful hardware, but more excuses of why they can deliver their vision or release mind blowing games....
It seems the more and better tools we have and the more powerful technology we have, the lazier we become. (No disrespect to the amount of work that goes into make a video game, it's a lot)
It's a shame that the creative baton is carried by indie developers because when they make a game literally their career and potentially life depends on it, hence they make the game to be as closer as possible to their vision and get it working regardless of system they work with.
@JustPlainLoco...... Yeah..... You and @GKo900 are correct., and if you think about it, CP2077 is the 1st game to be liked/hyped due to its developer and not the game itself........
@Wormold...... Well to his Credit Oscar Wilde lived in a time when the electron was not the industrial work horse yet, his world was not yet computerized........ If his logic were correct No Man's SKY would be breaking sales records right now, unfortunately the games industry is driven at its heart by FOMO and NEXT(NEXT BIG THING, or WHAT CAN BE DONE NEXT) and a big NOW(EN VOGUE)................. If the game released in a gaming drought period in terms of AAA launches then it could maybe recover.........while its being fixed, it's also moving towards launches of Hitman, God of War, RE 8, Horizon FW and a roll out of next Gen games still also begin which means by the time they start release patches for CP2077, it will not be having the whole gaming world's attention to itself and they have definitely lost the wow factor and the game is destined to survive only by sales and free content from CDPR and also Rockstar my dump on the gaming world release GTA6 as nobody knows how far it is in development........
@zekepliskin.... Fair..... But even after the misunderstandings in the communication @SlySnake0407 tried to be civil and polite whereas in your responses you are rude condescending and you display a Superiority Complex and a " I am cool know-it-all guy, and you are a sweep" attitude which is assholy and @SlySnake0407 is correct in thus calling you an *****.........
@MrCetirizine.... Mhhh interesting., I have not bought the game and push square is slow with the review.
So are you saying from your game play you've had with the game that it is not really bringing anything special? So are the graphics the only good thing about the game? Curious to know, maybe you can offer a mini review? How do you rate the game out of 10(ingoring the bugs and crashes and glitches)
@OneManDroid.... 100% and this is why the gaming industry is in a shambolic state, I sometimes wish the movie critics were the ones reviewing games cause they would rip a lot of games apart and this would in turn raise the standard of releases........ Gaming journalists are by end large paid fanboys, push square did the same with Anthem, they held the review for over a month trying to wait for Bioware and EA to fix the game before reviewing until it turned out that EA where not going to waste money on post launch support, CP2077 is in the same state as ME:Andromeda, WWE 2k20, Fallout 76
I bet you Shogun is gonna give the game 9 at lowest and 9.5 at highest when what we have seen is at best a 5/10 and at worst 3/10 but they will not....
I mean it's been over a week review the game, surely it can't take that long to get a feel of the game, it's like they are trying to give a dead horse every last chance to redeem itself, it's like trying to still wait for Nani to fulfill his potential and become the next CR7.
Surely then going forward each game should get its review verdict at least 1 month after its released like CP2077 is getting this special treatment.
@gomersoul.. You said Racism and LGBT rights are issues for news and not fantasy storytelling .... By your logic then we should not have Fifa or Pes cause football/soccer is for the footballers and television and guns should not be in any games as they are issues for the police/military and not for fantasy storytelling......
@Macver1ck... Yep..... I think the Hitman franchise got stagnated from its potential by IO pendering to the Blood Money fanboys and the vision and creativity of the game has thus suffered, after blood money the game should have took off from silent assassin and of course adding a bit of the good stuff from blood money and then took risks with the franchise.
I hope IO will let their creative muscles flex with the James Bond project.......
PS: It's a shame they never carried over the point shot/blink shot machanic from Absolution..... That is one mechanic that makes one feel like a Hitman
@TheArt..... 100% Got is really relevant because of the hate for TLOU2.
Got is actually an anomaly or paradox in that it is probably the first game to get attention not of its own doing but because of hate for another game......
So GOT really got its momentum because the Macho Guy Joel was killed by an LGTB+ person and this resulted in Jin getting the supposed gamers love....... The game is just your standard Ubisoft open world game..... The only thing that the game brings to the table is that it removes combat sponging, so instead of the game waiting your time in combat by having the enemy with a sponge health bar, the realistic one hit death combat is very refreshing and does not waste your time unlike in say God of War where the combat is shambolic and the game tries to make it interesting by having the enimies to be hit sponges therefore resulting in combats being unnecessary long.....
Also God is also overrated in that its basically a corridor walker and the only saving grace about God is the fact they made Atreus to be Loki, with this God is really just an ever age game and I don't think the game would have received any critical or commercial acclaim without the Loki story line, it was actually clever of them to do that.......
@gomersoul and sports are for real life athletes yet we have fifa and countless sports titles and shooting is for police, soldiers and real criminals yet we have Doom, COD, CP2077 AND a lot more shooter titles....... Stop talking stupid nonsense if u have nothing to say about TLOU2
@Col_McCafferty.... Ever considered starting a gaming website like this.....
You got a develish taste is great games.....
Couldn't agree more........ Struggled and couldn't get into TW3 for a year and a half a considered it one of the most overrated game this gen..... Then the past 3 weeks I just decided to just get stuff in and oh my God the praise and hype for the game is truly deserved and it is a masterpiece and a game of the generation and actually held the bar for Open world and rpg and narrative /story and also combat which I struggled to get into and thought combat controls were janky until I understood that role play/narrative is embedded into the combat(the game forces you to fight like a Witcher in context with Geralt being a Witcher.....i.e. Not being a hacker and slasher by relying on the sword combat but imbbedding alchemy into combat )....
RDR2 you can see TW3 influence as the game improves on TW3 would building by combining the narrative /story to the game would which makes the characters and the world feel completely alive.....
One of the things I'm interested to see in CP2076 is the improvement on the combat concept from the TW3
@carlos82......... Performance Cap is determined by console as that's were games sell the most and not on PC,
So buying the 30 card is a total waste because withing 18months the 30s will probably be replaced by the 40 series and by the time we get the Ps5 pro the 30 will look last Gen, I mean we have CP2077 coming out next 2013 hardware and the current high end card is the 2080ti yet no one playing on PC will be getting CP2077 playing much more differently than the console releases
@Athrum..... It is not negligible...... Remember this is a 10TF machine outperforming the 12TF machine.......
For over 22 months now we have been given the impression that 3rd party and cross-gen titles will natively perform better on the XSX because of its raw paper number but AC V is showing that perhaps the extra 2TF of the XSX is not for more power but it is for the XSX to keep up with new paradigm shift architecture of the Ps5
It's has been massively implied that only 1st party Sony games will perform better on the Ps5 but AC V totally debunks that narrative and actually agrees more with what most devs were saying in that TF is not and accurate indication of performance...
So this is a big deal because specs says AC V should run better on the apparently powerful 12TF machine and this is not the case........
@Max2574..... Don't worry dude and anyone who shares the same sentiments........
We love Playstation because it always punches above its weight........ It never backs away from a fight and it always knocks out things 100 x times its size and power.........
Heck the Playstation was almost killed in its birth due to Nintendo's big knife at the back........
My Favorite rapper Tupac Shakur has one of the best lines in his song "THA LUNATIC"......... The line says "Do me like Nintendo............ "
The O.G. PS1 fortold of these people and organizations, remember the SAPS (SOCIETY AGAINST PLAY STATION) campaign - THE PS1 KNEW OF THESE SOOTHSAYERS long again.
PushSquare has now become part of SAPS - SOCIETY AGAINST PLAY STATION
@Arnna............ These are your words and not mine "There are a lot of gamers who don’t have patience and want everything handed to them and that’s fine, but those games are pretty dull to a lot of us."
And I don't see the ".. And that's okay part"
And your comment still doesn't make sense because The Witcher 3 is one of the most hand-holding game of the generation /ever and yet its a generation defining game and that game does not make gaming dull it actually elevates gaming.......
The mentality " to the largest audience" is an elitist gamer entitled mentality as games should be all about accessibility to everyone its the same PC master race elitist mentality of thinking that you are not a real gamer if you are not spending $1500 every 18months on gaming o hardware or that the best gaming is on $2000+ hardware......
You also like to game with rose tinted glasses to your favorite games....... I don't recall a non-forgiving game ever....... Cause you confuse gameplay pro-longing mechanics with difficulty............... If there was ever any unforgiving game then there would not be game speeds runs....... There is no difficult games, just games with broken gameplay mechanics or games with pro-long mechanics/pattern recognition mechanics or forced pattern recognition mechanics
So I would even go on to say that actually games like the entire Souls/Borne/Sekiro series games are what makes game dull.......... Because the games essentially hiding behind cheap mechanics.
@Shred...... Blame Fifa, COD, Fortnite, Gta Online and to a lesser extent CP2077.... and not publisher............. The fifa team only works on the game 1 month just updating the club licensed kits which EA spend a quarter of their budget on....... With no risk or innovation yet easily sells minimum 15 million copies every 12 months and the game is now essentially an online game that sells by the bucket loads without taking any risks at all... It is currently the yearly best selling online game............. For example if The last of us 2 was not being published by Sony or a big publisher it would have been a financial disaster for an independent publisher/dev cause the cost to make it would not have been fully recovered by sales......yet that game is one of the few games that try to take risks and look were that got the game................. So it's not the publishers not wanting to risk..... It's us gamers who don't support creative risks........... We all want the same games where you solve everything by shooting everyone or beating everything and games are stuck I This cycle for a while.......
@NoxAeturnus........ Puzzling comment....... all games unless they are online content updated are about check lists.......
Whether they hide the Map and force you to scrap the map(with the illusion that you are finding out by yourself) or give you the map..... The results are the same...... Assassins Creed Odyssey shows this brilliantly........ The sense of exploring or exploration is the same whether you choose the map to display points of interest or you switch them off.......
@Medic_Alert...... I kinda agree with @Khalic..... Unless a remake totally introduces new things (brand new mechanics or refined mechanics, new level design conceptualization, refinedment of narrive, etc) then I believe remakes and remaster should only get a "Must Buy" or "Garbage/Waste of Time/Skip" rating.............. The difference between this and the O. G ps3 version is basically the same as moving the visual settings from normal to ultra..... So why must the game get a higher rating when its just the same game with only ultra graphics settings turned on.... So if it got a 9 in 2009 it should also get a 9 in 2020 on the Ps5 unless it introduces somethings which when it gets played side by side with the 2009 version then the 2020 version should make the 2009 look obsolete...... It's the same feelings you get when you play the Spyro remaster and the Resident Evil 2 remasters/remakes, they feell and play like Ps1 games on super ultra high graphics settings.....
@Arnna...... Interesting... Does that make easy games like Animal Crossing, Mine Craft, Uncharted series, The Witcher 3, Tekken series, Detroit become human, Legend of Zelda, etc dull? So are all those game dull because they don't make the player feel macho by overemphasizing scripted A. I. difficulty?
@Deljo...... You must have a different opinion to people....... It's what has moved the human race forward uptil today.......
Nothing synister meant to you from me.....
I was just specifically responding to your exchange with DonJorghino......
Before your posts, a balanced number of people above mentioned liking the game and some mentioned not enjoying the first one........
Your initial response to DonJorghino (which my post was addressing only), came off as a generalization that the game sucked when the 1mil+ copies sold proved there are people who found it fun.....
My bad if I misinterpreted your post incorrectly (stupid of me) and I apologise........and you only changed tune when LieutenantBatman point out that you could say what you said about DS pretty much about everything and every experience.......
If you initial response was the same as the response to LieutenantBatman then we would not be even engaging in this post....
As to my many periods(full stops) use in sentences, well apologies for that too.... But too bad as I don't write on the internet as a write a formal letter.......... It's no justifiable excuse........ But it is what I write it to be..............
Peace and Happy Gaming Days................................................................................................................................................... ...
@Deljo.... I knew you were a simple mind. That's why your head only registered the porn part of my whole post I did that on purpose.......
DonJorghino said its a masterpiece to him and You kept to banging about it being a chore........ My post was addressing that part of your postings.....
@Porco... And Days Gone is the not the commercial and critical success Sony wanted? Cause Sony only makes games for commercial and critical success... That why they funded Media Molecule to send the entirety of the Ps4 cycle making Dreams which has not even passed a million in copies sold..cause Sony only support devs when they make critical and commercial successful games.
Mmhhh..... Makes you wonder why they kept Guerilla around cause they did not make any commercial and critically successful games until Horizon Zero dawn..........
You have a bad habit, when you don't like something somehow you have this crazy thinking that everybody else dislikes it as much as you do...........
There is a reason some guys pack 6inches and less underneath and some guys packed more than 6inches...... Yet the ladies are still happy and satisfied....... There is no one size fits all in this world.......
@Porco....... Actually its the other way round...... MGSV for being a well known household franchise should have scored higher than 8.2 just like COD and Fifa never miss their sales targets no matter what horrible state they release in......... Whereas for a new IP that is not an established genre its pretty high for DS to score 7.3...........
@Deljo.... A chore to you...... Cause it's not doom or Cod or a fifa which makes sense why you don't enjoy it....................
I like games like Life is Strange and Adventures of Captain Spririt........ Playing Death Stranding is like engaging in Porn for its....... It's a jaw dropper...................
So how do we resolve this...... Is it a bad game cause it not your type of game or is it a masterpiece cause I can't find a flaw with it..........
You see how opinions on one are so subjectective...... Enjoy what rubs your groins and don't project your dislike about something onto others.......
@rachetmarvel..... You point about a game being great if it's only being talked about is rubbish....It's like you are talking out of your ass...... Call of Duty, Fifa and Fortnite are the most talked about games daily and yearly....... They are far from being great games........... Zelda, Gow, Witcher, RDR 2 are only being talked among the games community or fans........ Oh and by the way the noise around The last of Us Part has totally died down...... And I know that game is a masterpiece........
So death stranding is being talked among it gamer community.........
@Lovespuds.... I agree with both you and Bow Ties........ The complaints about the sections are just manly entitlement no matter what the complainers try to spin it as....... If the are sections to be properly be critisied as the MJ and MM sections, it's the Pigeons missions and bomb missions which seem out of place in the game (why in the world a Super Hero waste time chasing pegeons...... That's is dumb and this is the section of the game that should be called out and I wish there is no pigeon chasing in Miles Morales).
The MJ, MM, Lab, Homeless Shelter mission are so well done that I actually prefer more of them...... They make Spiderman and Peter Parker believable as a character and they also give depth and characterisation to narrative and story and the MJ and MM themselves............

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 (PS4) - The Single Biggest Disappointment of the PS4 Generation
@Robinsad.... Good but then an 8/10 is just okay FIFA21 level or That Finix rysen game or Days Gone or Metro Exodus or even Valhalla or Tony Hawk 1+2....... Not a 10/10 or 11/10 genre defining masterpiece which this game was touted as.......
So even after the bugs are removed it is still at best okay and not a jaw dropping wow..... This is not a jaw dropper
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 (PS4) - The Single Biggest Disappointment of the PS4 Generation
@fiddle245....... There is a game released years back I think it's Dragon Age or Dragon quest not sure about the title but I know the game has sick dialogue, the dialogue in that game makes the dialogue in CP2077 seem like a 1 page dialogue conversations......
Also the dialogue in CP2077 is a child compared to a simple game like Detroit Become Human. In CP2077 you talked for the sake of talking, yes it may look slightly sexier due to the angle captures of the dialogue scene, but it's just talk for talks sake. In Detroid Become Human the dialogue is impactful cause everything you say or do could very well result in your character dying in a few seconds
So no, no matter much you try to push an angle, The is nothing ground breaking about Cyberpunk2076 and i am not referring to the console version, I am specifically referring to the pc version running on a great 3080 or 3090 on a 20 gen i7 on 32 gb ram. It only shows shinier graphics.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 (PS4) - The Single Biggest Disappointment of the PS4 Generation
@ShogunRok.......... Thanks for this reply further insight. When the take away from that 2018 media showcase was that "this is not the final build and final game will be different from what was shown in that secrett showcase my suspicions started to kick.
So is it possible that the game was still at Tech-Demo stage at that 2018 media showcase...... Reason I am asking that is no bias or butt-kissing but you are one of the most honest and balance reviewers at Push Square and generally in gaming media and for you to give this game a 3/10 then you know something is inherently wrong at the core of the game even when you ignore the bugs.
Keep up the good hardwork.
P. S.: is there a way for Push Square to allow us to vote for your performances of the year like game awards but for you guys.
You definitely get my reviewer of the year for 2020
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 (PS4) - The Single Biggest Disappointment of the PS4 Generation
@fiddle245..... Tell me this.... What was soo fast about in 1899 wild west.
RDR2 amazingly renders 1899 wild west America like not other media before.
Also life was very boring which is perfectly rendered in the game.
Also the game makes you appreciate money unlike most games. I am not American but I have never valued a dollar like RDR2 make you do. Every dollar counts in RDR2 whereas money is just loot in most games to service the game mechanics and or narrative.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 (PS4) - The Single Biggest Disappointment of the PS4 Generation
@fiddle245 @zekepliskin...... Today you have proved that two people can has disagreeing conversations with being vile and rude to each other. I have greatly enjoyed our well differing communication.
So I am gonna throw another curve ball at you, how about we do as the Scientific community and redifine the definition of vapourware just like they redifined the definition of a planet which in turn resulted in Pluto no longer being a planet.
So with regards to the definition of vapourware it actually does not need to be redefined, you said "Vapourware is the name given to a product that is promised but never shows up."
So under very high scrutinity of the definition then this game would also qualify since the whole gaming world's idea of Cyberpunk2077 is that initial CGI vision trailer and the final game even on a pc packing either a 3080 or 3090 on a 10 gen i7 does not even come close to the initial 2013 showing, which technically means the product promised in the initial reveal has not shown up, yes the name is still Cyberpunk2077 but not the Cyberpunk2077 shown that all expectations on the game are base on.
I know I'm stretching a bit here, just could help Mt self.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 (PS4) - The Single Biggest Disappointment of the PS4 Generation
@Flaming_Kaiser....... You are 100% correct. We the gamers and the gaming media are hypocrites.
If this was an EA release, you can bet on your house that this game will be given the "let's give then 2 or months to make the game playable as it was originally promised"
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 (PS4) - The Single Biggest Disappointment of the PS4 Generation
@zekepliskin....... I suppose your point is correct, however my argument for RDR2 and even 1 is that both games' big focus and emphasis are on creating the wild west feel, no movie gives you the feel of how the wild west was, the 2 rdrd games are the best ways to experience the wild west period in the USA.
With regards to Gta online we'll I'm a complete offline gamer and I only dable online for free stuff only, which means I don't like anything online. But credit where it's due, with GtA O is online game play done well to a certain extent and it's not perfect but a million better than most online services or online focused, I can play the game offline without my experience being hindered in an way and the online players can also enjoy the online stuff which not really much a hitch, but as compared to say GT sport where I cannot play the game unless I am online after all the years of support we gave Polyphony with their long development times, as soon as they gone recognized by the FIA they ditched us, that is something to complain about instead of Gta O, I actually hate Sony for allowing polyphony to give the middle finger to all offline players.
With regards to games release volume, it's not a Rockstar only issue it's a general industry wide trend, I think each Sony first party released at best 2 gen this past gen, Microsoft 1st party released 0 games the entire generation, EA except for EA Canada each dev team they hav have mostly leave atleats 1 game. No dev team has released more than 2 x games this past gen.
And to be honest Gta O is just the way Rockstar used to release post launch DLC, it's just that now the DLC are now Calle Gta Online instead of like previous DLC.
P. S. : BALLAD OF GAY TONY is the best Gta post launch DLC release. I wish Rockstar would make a stand alone sequal to Ballad of Gay Tony.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 (PS4) - The Single Biggest Disappointment of the PS4 Generation
@Ralancian...... I get what you are saying but the DAY1 patches are the get-out-of-jail-Free cards that devs you. As much as the money team/management team want to press a release date, you can't tell the devs never said something along the line "it's gonna be tight, but we can fix it with the 1st month's patch.
Look I am mostly an offline player and hate online, mtx and loot boxes that the execx or money teams press on the dev teams. So I am in no way saying the execs are not to blame.
But to say the devs are Angelic lambs who were always looking down and hardworking at every single second without slacking off, is like saying Push Square told @ShogunRok to park his thoughts about the game a release controversially low score review to goes against almost all review on other sites so they can get click bait for the add money.
Now granted Push Square may have told @ShogunRok to do exactly that, but he is totally responsible for final state or outcome of this review.
Unless we are in a IGN kind of situation where CDPR management threatens to fire anyone who does'nt write code the way management wants its to be coded.
Maybe the orriginal game writers and or creative directors left CDPR during the course of development and the game was finished by people who did not start with the project.
For example it is clear that Niel Druckmann has been a major part of the writing team or creative team at naughty dog, cause even after IGN lied about the Ammy situation, the games shows that the Niel is an important part of naughty dog as the creative beats of the games have gone on smoothly.
So at best CP2077 feels like the core dev team that finished it did not start with it otherwise how have they failed to realize their vision, unless the
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 (PS4) - The Single Biggest Disappointment of the PS4 Generation
@Ralancian..... Sorry for the spoilers on GOW to everyone....
Absolutely spot on with CP2077, the most soul crushing thing about the games is the fact that it's so superficial and worst of all it does not have anything ground breaking apart from the city paint job and few characters design cosmetics
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 (PS4) - The Single Biggest Disappointment of the PS4 Generation
@Robinsad.... The problem is that cyberpunk is a binary system based game and not a decimal system based game. That is it is its metrics do count for the game to be in between or avarage or just good or okay, the game is either a genre defining g.o.a.t. masterpiece or a dud or turd, which unfortunately for us it is the latter.
CP2077 is in the same boat as P. T., in that if P. T. was approved from deve and release by Konami if it's not mind low it will fall flat on its face. It's the reason Konami don't want anything to do with even going as to disable to game on PS5, because they know the game has unrealistic expectations that would be uncontrollable should they decided to give go ahead to develop the game if even they bring back Kojima. Ironically P. T. is also the same reason Death Stranding has been as well received.
The worst part is that you yourself are saying without bugs, crash and glitches it is at best a 6/10 game which is shambols from the heights of The Witcher 3.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 (PS4) - The Single Biggest Disappointment of the PS4 Generation
@DonJorginho.... Cause it's pointless agreeing with the review points but not the review which absurd cause the score is informed by the points in the review.
I was one of the many commenters pushing @ShogunRok for the score cause from initial in progress review he put out it was clear this was a 3/10 released game.
I was concerned that PS would want to be a CDPR media darling after Sammy's love sick ulology article about the game last week.
Thanks to @ShogunRok for staying true
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 (PS4) - The Single Biggest Disappointment of the PS4 Generation
@zekepliskin...... MAYBE CDPR devs should have been sent to Rockstar for internship, cause Rockstar also released the absolutely sublime and flawless RDR2 in round about the same time frame...
I think this shows the reason Gta is the only open world game to reach and cross 100+ million and counting copies.... Rockstar are to boss of open world games and no other studio can a damn thing about
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 (PS4) - The Single Biggest Disappointment of the PS4 Generation
@Number09..... I fail to buy that the release deadline is something that someone just decided should be done this year, it's like saying someone at EA told the devs to stop what they are doing and release Fifa 22 on Christmas day to catch the Christmas fever and have to fifa title on the market at once. That is absurd. CDPR devs knew the games' release date is 2020 and we should not scape goat management and the game code related problems of the are squarely on the devs.
Remember this game was scheduled for April release and not December release, so if you and @ShogunRok say Management rushed the devs then what where they going to release in April the original release date of the game, also as much as we gamers and the gaming media like to blame the suits, they are not 100% to blame when the initial release date was planned the devs would have been consulted, so why did the dev agree to the release date if the knew they need another 2+ more years.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 (PS4) - The Single Biggest Disappointment of the PS4 Generation
@ShogunRok...... The review is spot on but I'd like to discuss the "Released too early narrative", the review describes a game running like a game that when through development hell and we know once a game goes into what is called development hell its doomed even if it gets released, a prime example being The Last Guardian and the poster boy being Duke Nukem.
CDPR has had 8 years to make their vision into reality. So has is this game released E3 or too early when they had 8 years.
I am not sure if Push Square was part of the media invited to the secret viewing of the game as I would have like your take from that time to this month of release, the fact they didn't want to show it to the world and we only got carefully selected footage was an alarm sign from.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 (PS4) - The Single Biggest Disappointment of the PS4 Generation
@Unffclcntrllerpd..... Your 7 score summs up perfect the 3/10 review.
This was promised as a ground breaker 10/10 generation definer and you say when you ignore the bugs the best you can give it is a 7.
Yep the game is an overhyped pathetic mess of a vapourware........ CDPR devs knew they could no do thi game by 2017 that's why they only showed media gampeplay footage at E3 2018 and kept on emphasizing that E3 2018 footage was not how the final game will look. This is why they brought in Keanu Reeves to sweeten the blow.
It's the same trick done by Santa Monica with the 2018 GOW reboot the world building and general narrative is okay and average at best. The reason GOW 2018 is revieade is the fact that Atreus is Loki who is a massively popular character.
So I think all of us have to deal with the fact that CDPR lied to all of us.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 (PS4) - The Single Biggest Disappointment of the PS4 Generation
@DonJorginho...... You are too much of a CDPR fan boy and apologists to call this review click bait. CDPR actively overpromised a 10/10 or 11/10 game with ultrahype, that it is even a 9 / 10 makes the 3/10 review score 100% legitimate and on point. This was not a refinement of airtravel, we were promised to trip to the moon and you know for such voyages there's is no in between in that you either make it to the moo or you don't, and in this case CDPR and CP2077 failed dismally and this is the product we got. There is nothing groundbreaking about the game even when playing on a 3090. It's just shinier or prettier graphics that has been achieved.
You know a game is ***** when it's supposedly an rpg but the only glowing praise about it is the fact that the cut-scenes / dialog options screen shows the npc moving, posing, walking about etc as they talk and not any of the rpg game play elements.
Accept it. The game promised a lot to all of us but it failed emphatically and we should accept it and move.

Re: Reaction: How Does It Keep Going Wrong for Big Game Launches?
@zupertramp..... Pre-orders are like taking an exam or test knowing fully well that if you fail it you can take it again with minimum to no significant consequences.
Killing pre-orders will create the situation of writing an exam with full knowledge that if you fail the is next to no second chance. Hence the pressure to release a product that will be a knock out of the park........ This is how the quality was maintained in the ps1 and ps2 Era.
The ps1 was a relatively low spec system, yet if you were a developer you couldn't complain and says you couldn't do this or that because of system constraints, you had to make it otherwise you would look incompetent.
Nowadays devs have so many tools and even better and powerful hardware, but more excuses of why they can deliver their vision or release mind blowing games....
It seems the more and better tools we have and the more powerful technology we have, the lazier we become. (No disrespect to the amount of work that goes into make a video game, it's a lot)
It's a shame that the creative baton is carried by indie developers because when they make a game literally their career and potentially life depends on it, hence they make the game to be as closer as possible to their vision and get it working regardless of system they work with.
Re: Reaction: How Does It Keep Going Wrong for Big Game Launches?

@Wormold...... Well to his Credit Oscar Wilde lived in a time when the electron was not the industrial work horse yet, his world was not yet computerized........ If his logic were correct No Man's SKY would be breaking sales records right now, unfortunately the games industry is driven at its heart by FOMO and NEXT(NEXT BIG THING, or WHAT CAN BE DONE NEXT) and a big NOW(EN VOGUE)................. If the game released in a gaming drought period in terms of AAA launches then it could maybe recover.........while its being fixed, it's also moving towards launches of Hitman, God of War, RE 8, Horizon FW and a roll out of next Gen games still also begin which means by the time they start release patches for CP2077, it will not be having the whole gaming world's attention to itself and they have definitely lost the wow factor and the game is destined to survive only by sales and free content from CDPR and also Rockstar my dump on the gaming world release GTA6 as nobody knows how far it is in development........

@OneManDroid.... 100% and this is why the gaming industry is in a shambolic state, I sometimes wish the movie critics were the ones reviewing games cause they would rip a lot of games apart and this would in turn raise the standard of releases........ Gaming journalists are by end large paid fanboys, push square did the same with Anthem, they held the review for over a month trying to wait for Bioware and EA to fix the game before reviewing until it turned out that EA where not going to waste money on post launch support, CP2077 is in the same state as ME:Andromeda, WWE 2k20, Fallout 76
I bet you Shogun is gonna give the game 9 at lowest and 9.5 at highest when what we have seen is at best a 5/10 and at worst 3/10 but they will not....
I mean it's been over a week review the game, surely it can't take that long to get a feel of the game, it's like they are trying to give a dead horse every last chance to redeem itself, it's like trying to still wait for Nani to fulfill his potential and become the next CR7.
Surely then going forward each game should get its review verdict at least 1 month after its released like CP2077 is getting this special treatment.

Re: The Hitman 3 Opening Cinematic Is as Slick as Agent 47's Bald Head
@Macver1ck... Yep..... I think the Hitman franchise got stagnated from its potential by IO pendering to the Blood Money fanboys and the vision and creativity of the game has thus suffered, after blood money the game should have took off from silent assassin and of course adding a bit of the good stuff from blood money and then took risks with the franchise.
I hope IO will let their creative muscles flex with the James Bond project.......

Re: All the Winners at The Game Awards 2020
@TheArt..... 100% Got is really relevant because of the hate for TLOU2.
Got is actually an anomaly or paradox in that it is probably the first game to get attention not of its own doing but because of hate for another game......
So GOT really got its momentum because the Macho Guy Joel was killed by an LGTB+ person and this resulted in Jin getting the supposed gamers love....... The game is just your standard Ubisoft open world game..... The only thing that the game brings to the table is that it removes combat sponging, so instead of the game waiting your time in combat by having the enemy with a sponge health bar, the realistic one hit death combat is very refreshing and does not waste your time unlike in say God of War where the combat is shambolic and the game tries to make it interesting by having the enimies to be hit sponges therefore resulting in combats being unnecessary long.....
Also God is also overrated in that its basically a corridor walker and the only saving grace about God is the fact they made Atreus to be Loki, with this God is really just an ever age game and I don't think the game would have received any critical or commercial acclaim without the Loki story line, it was actually clever of them to do that.......

Couldn't agree more........ Struggled and couldn't get into TW3 for a year and a half a considered it one of the most overrated game this gen..... Then the past 3 weeks I just decided to just get stuff in and oh my God the praise and hype for the game is truly deserved and it is a masterpiece and a game of the generation and actually held the bar for Open world and rpg and narrative /story and also combat which I struggled to get into and thought combat controls were janky until I understood that role play/narrative is embedded into the combat(the game forces you to fight like a Witcher in context with Geralt being a Witcher.....i.e. Not being a hacker and slasher by relying on the sword combat but imbbedding alchemy into combat )....
RDR2 you can see TW3 influence as the game improves on TW3 would building by combining the narrative /story to the game would which makes the characters and the world feel completely alive.....
One of the things I'm interested to see in CP2076 is the improvement on the combat concept from the TW3

Re: First Next-Gen Face-Off Is a Wash, But PS5 Performs Best
@carlos82......... Performance Cap is determined by console as that's were games sell the most and not on PC,
So buying the 30 card is a total waste because withing 18months the 30s will probably be replaced by the 40 series and by the time we get the Ps5 pro the 30 will look last Gen, I mean we have CP2077 coming out next 2013 hardware and the current high end card is the 2080ti yet no one playing on PC will be getting CP2077 playing much more differently than the console releases
Re: First Next-Gen Face-Off Is a Wash, But PS5 Performs Best
@Athrum..... It is not negligible......
Remember this is a 10TF machine outperforming the 12TF machine.......
For over 22 months now we have been given the impression that 3rd party and cross-gen titles will natively perform better on the XSX because of its raw paper number but AC V is showing that perhaps the extra 2TF of the XSX is not for more power but it is for the XSX to keep up with new paradigm shift architecture of the Ps5
It's has been massively implied that only 1st party Sony games will perform better on the Ps5 but AC V totally debunks that narrative and actually agrees more with what most devs were saying in that TF is not and accurate indication of performance...
So this is a big deal because specs says AC V should run better on the apparently powerful 12TF machine and this is not the case........

And I don't see the ".. And that's okay part"
And your comment still doesn't make sense because The Witcher 3 is one of the most hand-holding game of the generation /ever and yet its a generation defining game and that game does not make gaming dull it actually elevates gaming.......
The mentality " to the largest audience" is an elitist gamer entitled mentality as games should be all about accessibility to everyone its the same PC master race elitist mentality of thinking that you are not a real gamer if you are not spending $1500 every 18months on gaming o hardware or that the best gaming is on $2000+ hardware......
You also like to game with rose tinted glasses to your favorite games....... I don't recall a non-forgiving game ever....... Cause you confuse gameplay pro-longing mechanics with difficulty............... If there was ever any unforgiving game then there would not be game speeds runs....... There is no difficult games, just games with broken gameplay mechanics or games with pro-long mechanics/pattern recognition mechanics or forced pattern recognition mechanics
So I would even go on to say that actually games like the entire Souls/Borne/Sekiro series games are what makes game dull.......... Because the games essentially hiding behind cheap mechanics.
Re: Demon's Souls (PS5) - Cult Classic Becomes PlayStation's Best Ever Launch Game
@Shred...... Blame Fifa, COD, Fortnite, Gta Online and to a lesser extent CP2077.... and not publisher............. The fifa team only works on the game 1 month just updating the club licensed kits which EA spend a quarter of their budget on....... With no risk or innovation yet easily sells minimum 15 million copies every 12 months and the game is now essentially an online game that sells by the bucket loads without taking any risks at all... It is currently the yearly best selling online game............. For example if The last of us 2 was not being published by Sony or a big publisher it would have been a financial disaster for an independent publisher/dev cause the cost to make it would not have been fully recovered by sales......yet that game is one of the few games that try to take risks and look were that got the game................. So it's not the publishers not wanting to risk..... It's us gamers who don't support creative risks........... We all want the same games where you solve everything by shooting everyone or beating everything and games are stuck I This cycle for a while.......

Re: Demon's Souls (PS5) - Cult Classic Becomes PlayStation's Best Ever Launch Game
@Medic_Alert...... I kinda agree with @Khalic..... Unless a remake totally introduces new things (brand new mechanics or refined mechanics, new level design conceptualization, refinedment of narrive, etc) then I believe remakes and remaster should only get a "Must Buy" or "Garbage/Waste of Time/Skip" rating.............. The difference between this and the O. G ps3 version is basically the same as moving the visual settings from normal to ultra..... So why must the game get a higher rating when its just the same game with only ultra graphics settings turned on.... So if it got a 9 in 2009 it should also get a 9 in 2020 on the Ps5 unless it introduces somethings which when it gets played side by side with the 2009 version then the 2020 version should make the 2009 look obsolete...... It's the same feelings you get when you play the Spyro remaster and the Resident Evil 2 remasters/remakes, they feell and play like Ps1 games on super ultra high graphics settings.....

MGSV for being a well known household franchise should have scored higher than 8.2 just like COD and Fifa never miss their sales targets no matter what horrible state they release in......... Whereas for a new IP that is not an established genre its pretty high for DS to score 7.3...........

@rachetmarvel..... It is amazing and Paradigm shifting...............
Re: Kojima Productions Hiring Up for New Project
@Deljo.... A chore to you...... Cause it's not doom or Cod or a fifa which makes sense why you don't enjoy it....................
I like games like Life is Strange and Adventures of Captain Spririt........ Playing Death Stranding is like engaging in Porn for its....... It's a jaw dropper...................
So how do we resolve this...... Is it a bad game cause it not your type of game or is it a masterpiece cause I can't find a flaw with it..........
You see how opinions on one are so subjectective...... Enjoy what rubs your groins and don't project your dislike about something onto others.......
Re: Kojima Productions Hiring Up for New Project
@rachetmarvel..... You point about a game being great if it's only being talked about is rubbish....It's like you are talking out of your ass...... Call of Duty, Fifa and Fortnite are the most talked about games daily and yearly....... They are far from being great games........... Zelda, Gow, Witcher, RDR 2 are only being talked among the games community or fans........ Oh and by the way the noise around The last of Us Part has totally died down...... And I know that game is a masterpiece........
So death stranding is being talked among it gamer community.........
Please stop talking out of your ass......
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales Won't Have Any Playable Side Characters
@Lovespuds.... I agree with both you and Bow Ties........ The complaints about the sections are just manly entitlement no matter what the complainers try to spin it as....... If the are sections to be properly be critisied as the MJ and MM sections, it's the Pigeons missions and bomb missions which seem out of place in the game (why in the world a Super Hero waste time chasing pegeons...... That's is dumb and this is the section of the game that should be called out and I wish there is no pigeon chasing in Miles Morales).
The MJ, MM, Lab, Homeless Shelter mission are so well done that I actually prefer more of them...... They make Spiderman and Peter Parker believable as a character and they also give depth and characterisation to narrative and story and the MJ and MM themselves............
