      @@frenchfriedbagel7035 That's the saddest part about this. From what I understand, it was the stockholders who rushed this game out so they could get their money. The people I feel the worst for are the devs. Imagine working on a game for somewhere around seven years, all to have it released too early and be one of the biggest disappointments in quite a long time. I'm glad I prematurely killed all of the hype for this game myself when I saw it was delayed multiple times in one year. I saw this as them not having a good or finished product, so I lost most interest in the game and treated it like EA was putting it out. As of right now, I have 140 hours on PC and I love to hop on and do my thing for a few hours whenever I have the time. That doesn't mean I think what they did was okay, pure disappointment. But I'm so glad I lowered my expectations low enough to be able to enjoy the game.

      Im convinced no amount of time would have made this game live up to the hype. You could have given them 20 years and it still would have failed because the entire execution was flawed and CDPR simply werent good enough to execute it even if it wasnt. This company isnt rockstar. They havent been on top of the indusry for 2 decades. They made one masterpiece in 2015 and then deluded fanbois lost the plot and knighted them as gods gift to gaming.
      Playing Cyberpunk I notice 2 things. 1st is brief moments of genuine quality that never get tied together to form a complete package. 2nd is an absolutely insane scattergun approach where they were grasping at everything they could without any thought as to whether they could accomplish it or not. The game clearly got ripped apart and stiched back up several times during development and the final time was a messy rush job to meet final deadline.
      They were out their depth, over the top with ideas and out of time in the end. Cyberpunk was NEVER going to be a standout game. If they spend the next couple of years working hard on it and adding to it it at least can end up a half decent game. At least that way they can save some of their reputation and then try again with a more humble and down to earth project afterwards.

    CD Project Red giving us Cyberpunk 2077 reminds me of the little boy who really wanted a puppy, and his grandma promised him she would gift him a puppy for his birthday. Then his birthday came and when the little boy opened his gift his grandma had actually hand-knitted him a sweater with a PICTURE of a dog on it. So he began to cry, and then she cried, and nobody was happy and everyone remembered it forever. The End.

Honestly, this game constantly breaks my immersion. For example, when Priscilla gets attacked by a vampire she ends up in the hospital. She will literally be bed-ridden FOREVER because there is no passage of time in this game. Another example is the Novigrad Bathhouse. Once that gets destroyed it will remained closed forever even though that makes zero sense. This game constantly breaks immersion and this is honestly the tip of the iceberg.

And yes the witcher 3 even to this day is full of bugs. Cdpr is clearly not a completely competent company, especially when it comes to play testing and bug fixing their games. They tend to create their games with a start, middle and end mindset. Meaning they don't think much about what's in-between.

Then we could have just had Adam Smasher shoot the shit out of Jackie while both of us were running towards Delamain. This would have cemented Adam Smasher as an actual villain, instead of a dude that just "shows up".

      Defo agreed.
      That montage we have with Jackie doing gigs should've been entirely playable and is Act 1 of the entire game.
      Just a string of gigs where we earn money to buy rent our Megabuilding apartment and our crap Archer Hella, meet all the fixers in the game, and most importantly spend time and bond with best choombata Jackie Welles before shit hits the fan in Act 2 with the Konpeki Plaza heist.
      That said. This can only be possible if they focused on making the game a action adventure game with a _linear story_ like Far Cry or GTA.
      *Not as an RPG that lets you pick choices and enjoy & suffer the consequences.*
      If they focused on making this game an RPG, then they need to get rid of the major and broad strokes of the main quest. Jackie dying *is an option.* And V is not our player character, but a completely custom one who we have near complete control over.

      It's not that broken. We need to stop this narrative. The problems with the game are OVERWHELMINGLY related to lack of emergent gameplay, shitty-linear-as-shit campaign, TERRRRRRIBLE NPCs, broken cops, no real gravity of choice, etc.
      The bugs is what plebs complain about tbh. I encountered more bugs in Skyrim and it still got over 1000 hours out of me. The bugs aren't rhe problem.

    So you do bring up a lot of good points and I agree with most of what you're saying, but honestly the biggest diverging opinion I have from what you've said is on Keeanus performance.
    I've been into Cyberpunk as a tabletop and a setting since I was very young, and Keanu's performance of Johnny Silverhand is spot on with how Johnny was portrayed in Cyberpunk lore. Johnny even as a young rockstar is called jaded, flat, angry and spiteful. I think Keanu really did do a good job, I honestly believe that an energetic Johnny Silverhand would have been out of character.

      It is an rpg just not a very well constructed one. A little better now but the way they designed it it leaves a lot to be desired.
      1) Too many perks are just passive bonuses, only a handful actually change how you play. Many more are pointless, poorly thought out and a few don't work (many more used to not work) not much reason to go multiple playthroughs with the way it is now.
      2) the weapons system is similar to witcher 3 in terms of level matters a lot, so you'll get an iconic and 1hr later a common butter knife does more damage. Constantly switching for higher damage stats since damage is all that matters. The attachments are poorly implemented. Wtf is range good for. Many stats don't really matter.
      3) clothing has very little impact besides armour and personal preference. Mod slots and the balance of mods is poorly done. They is no reason for a mod that increase breathing underwater. So long as armour is the most important stat and armour is tied intrinsically to clothing this will be a problem, having a set of clothing does no bonuses.
      4) a lot of missed opportunities with argumentation, not just cosmetic but functions, balancing and cost. The best augs are the leg augs that fundamentally change how you play and make the combat way more fun that it shouldn't cost as much honestly. They should've had ranges to it like many of the other mods.
      5) food and drinks are pretty pointless, at least in witcher you couldn't spam potions but here I can spam Insta heals while there is no real benefits to food. Why can't they grant +1 or 2 to one of the 5 main skill or sub trees? Not just stamina regen etc. Food is completely pointless.
      6) crafting and upgrading is poorly balanced. Ammo is never a problem the system as a whole lacks depth.
      7) there are choices but they are either too few, or lack real impact. The most impactful choices in this game pale in comparison to witcher, I can accept that we are a small cog on the machine but the future of clouds or having a different leader of the maelstrom gang really ddint feel or seem that impactful. Your origins also have too little impact, offering only flavor but no real change to outcomes or rewards.

      There should have been a deliberate choice between clothes and armor so that each would give you either style points or armor points, both usable in their own interactions (style in conversations through the actual COOL stat - and the other TTRPG version social stats) and armor in combat. It's even written in the original RPG rulebook that sometimes style means more than practicality, going guns blazing into a firefight looking fly with minimal armor, just because you'd rather want to look cool than wear protective, lame-looking gear.

ALL of them have said that the city is incredible, NPCs convincing and generally praising the game to high heavens declaring it deserved all the hype in the world. I REALLY want to know what they played because watching back all of their videos it just sounds like they were straight up lying. They lost all of my respect and trust after that. Especially people who gave this game 9s and 10s when emarbos lifted. So incredibly hypocritical of them to make fun of sites like IGN or Gamespot only to pull the same shit. And the worst part is, they got no flak whatsoever. Nobody is questioning them at all.

We beat you over the head with the correct choice and you didn't follow it so now you get this depressing ending." This might have been acceptable if you screwed over Arasaka, so obviously they wouldn't save you. Say, however, you did everything right, picked the correct options, sucked Arasaka's dick every chance you got. You were the perfect corporate lackey. What if in that scenario Arasaka threw every resource available to solving your problem and you were cured. Now you become their number 1 fixer. Their new corporate hitman. Adam Smasher 2.0. How much better would that have been? Instead, no matter what you pick you are still fucked.

    In my humble useless internet opinion, there was never a chance that CDPR would make the game live out to the expectations they themselves had set. Period.

I feel like no matter the shape or form this game would have came, there would have been a huge hate wagon because of the massive hype, a monster that CDPR itself created.
    I bought this game recently in a sale and lemme say an unpopular thing: I had decent 65h fun. But it was bittersweet fun because when you truly give the game a chance, you understand it could have been amazing had CDPR been honest to itself and specially with us fans. Spot on analysis.

      That's because they're chasing trivial armor stat increases that don't mean squat gameplay wise. Just a learned habit of RPG players. In Act I, once one gets $14k (2 maybe 3 side jobs (pay+loot+access point hacks), or scrapping the inventory of a couple dozen beverage dispensers), one can get cyberware that adds 200 armor, dwarfing anything low level clothing can offer. Looking like a hobo is entirely optional.
      And once one gets the Armadillo blueprint later in the game, the only characteristic of clothing with any gameplay import is the number of mod slots. One can just go shopping a lot, or craft, or pick up static legendary sets through exploration, and its actually pretty easy chasing armore to overlevel for the game. I walked around firefights like Robert Duvall in "Apocalypse Now" with 3000 armor, and evidently about 6000 armor is possible.

You dont roleplay, you control Geralt who is a faithful adaptation of his novel persona. Youre just allowed to make many in character and some very out of character decisions for him.
      Anyone who claims The Witcher 3 is the greatest RPG ever is an idiot and should be forced to play through Fallout 1, 2 and New Vegas or Baldurs Gate 1 and 2 or other such titles vastly more deserving of "Greatest RPG".
      Calling The Witcher 3 the greatest RPG ever is like calling Call of Duty the greatest RTS ever.

Very tedious and not nearly meriting bothering with.

      Most of people jumped on "Witcher 3" train after year or two. Hence why they dont even remember the state of the game at the beggining. One of the reason CDPR thought they could get away now is that they fixed most of Witcher stuff later after release. For example even Luke asked about changing appearance and stuff like that. That was added to Witcher 3 later, not on release. Problem is, hype was too big now. So, it was harder to hide mistakes now. Also, "Witcher 3" is actually a great game. Cyberpunk even with its strong sides like characters or story, isnt. Its mediocre at best. Also, part about Fallout 4 was true about gaming urinalists. Not so much about gamers, anybody who played it could tell you that game was lacking.

So, in a way, it was the same thing as it is now with CDPR. Fans of one game that was fun thought the next one would be just as good and then it turned out to be boring (to me that's the worst part. Cyberpunk is boring with so many repetitive quests that don't branch out nor have noticeable consequences).

      I think rewriting the story adding keanue reeves couple years ago was one of the biggest mistakes they made. After all they had 8 years to write a story and 2 years before release they decide to rewrite and redo it but the payoff was disastrous. I found Panam 100x more relatable, likable and better acting than Johnny. Johnny was the worse character for me in the game. I wish they never added keanue and went with an actual voice actor.

      True, still haven't finished it and I actually enjoy it, but it feels like a giant missed opportunity, and it sucks me in much less than TW3 did - I literally played whole-nighters of that one cause I couldn't put it down. Sad, because it has massive potential: the story was cool, combat is nice enough (especially sniping feels awesome) and some of the characters were too. It mostly feels a bit empty in the end. So much stuff to see, but not too much to do. Just for one silly thing in comparison: it's supposed to be this apocalyptic mix of LA and Las Vegas, and it literally has less prostitutes (you can interact with) in the whole city than Crippled Kate's had in TW3. I wanted casino's to spend my money in. I wanted to be able to buy penthouses and the likes. I wanted to be able to play the stupid little roach game in the fist bar. I wanted to have wild braindances like the guys in those clubs. I wanted to drive one of those flying cars. I wanted this world to feel lived in more than anything else. If they actually had gotten all the time they needed to finish it, it could have been truly superb. Now it's just good, but not great.

    That bug you talked about with the blue screen in the arasaka ending I actually got too, but not for as long as you, since it went away after a couple of days of tests had passed, so by the time I got to the section where you can look in the mirror and call home, and then after that the final cutscene, it was all normal. This all meant that I didn't even think it was a bug and just thought it was a side effect of the surgery you just had.

    This game genuinely broke my heart, I supported CDPR because both the Witcher 2 and 3 had become so personal for me that it kept me busy when I was in a serious state of depression. I met Doug Cockle and he autographed my game and a statue of his and apparently I'm the first person he ever did that for. I put several hundred hours into these games several times. I even changed my PSN gamer tag to CDProjektBlue and made a custom blue logo for my account and got an Igni and Aard tattoo. I was a major fan boy for them so to see how little love and care they gave this game they had hyped for years since I was little was enough to make me not trust any other games they publish unless they decide to finally fix their game. Cringe I know but still the company and their Witcher franchise helped me through a lot so I saw them as a company who could do no wrong 😤

All the moral-ambiguity-no-perfect-outcome quests are very much in the style of the archetypes you find in the books. Not to discredit CDPR as I continue to love and support them, and they have written some very good stories, yet I can't really imagine them being so heart-wrenching without the original lore setting tropes and base patterns.
