The story was amazing, though with some really questionable bugs, the updates helped even if it’s just a little, I’m glad you got into the music part cause I like it more or less.
I was extremely hyped for this gamed and I need to say that I played a lot of it. I played it from the day 1 release throughout a lot of patches and such. The thing that I find absolutely astonishing with this game is that you can see the love and the quality writing, storytelling, backstories, and gameplay, but at the same time you cannot take your eyes off of the buggy, lackluster parts. The thing you showed with the guitar is the perfect example. When you do a corpo playthrough, you can find a few characters again later, one in particular dead in a very hidden spot with more backstory on what happened after the intro. Thing is.... as a player, it's so hard to care! The intro is too short, the cutscene at the beginning instead of actual gameplay would have been fine if your "origin" intro was longer, but that's not the case! I don't agree with everything you say about this game, but I understand your complaints. For me, the two most disappointing parts about this game are that it had the potential to be an awesome gaming experience who just fell flat (it probably needed one more year of dev at least) AND the part that they adamantly refused to publish real modding tools. When a game is a bit of a broken mess (looking at you Bethesda), mods can save it. Cyberpunk has a very active community, and it's one of the very few games of the genre. Releasing modding tools would have been a good PR move, a good long-term move for the health of the game, and all in all, it brought more players towards it. Skyrim isn't still played 11 years after its release because of its base content, it's because it is a modding den!
So now you gotta do a video about all of the excellent stuff and how those adpects are better than any other game out there. Then it will be fair journalism getting both sides across
The game's good. The game's really, really good. Yes it was rushed by the ass hat producers, and yes there were (and still are) a lot of bugs. I feel your opinion was definitely influenced by everyone's constant bitching & regurgitating of the same complaints over & over. The story, the world, the characters & relationships are all absolutely top tier. Yes you can still feel so much unrealized potential. You can tell so much of the game was either cut or overly simplified. There's no doubt in my mind that this game should have been so much more than it is now. But with all that said, this game is an absolute masterpiece to me. A very flawed masterpiece, but a god damn masterpiece all the same
Also I'd like to add that me clearly disagreeing with you is definitely not me saying that your video is bad at all. Quite the contrary. I think your video is a solid critique of this game that I love. You've made a quality video no doubt. But I still find myself disagreeing with much of your critique.
That's perfectly fine. I'm glad you enjoyed the game. Like I said in my video, I was still excited about the game, I didn't go into it with an attitude of trying to dislike it. I want every game I play to be enjoyable. And despite my misgivings about the game's development environment, I would've loved to see the end result be something amazing, sort of as vindication for all the effort spent by the developers.
