Just play the SRR games if CP2077 isn't up your alley.

Not open-ended enough. We need to spend another 312000000$ to essentially remake this.

Those dice actually look pretty cool. But bad readability from a distance.

Judging from user impressions on CP2077, "open-ended" is not a strong selling point.

That's not Cyberpunk cover art. But +1 to karma for moving towards actual discussion.

I also had no options. Then again, I had flatlined the whole location at that point. I guess he must have taken that personally.
For some reason, Judy wasn't interested in having me solve any follow-up quests.

It's a bad game, but pretty good interactive movie. The characters and the story are pretty good. Writing is above average, at least in the main story parts and important "side" jobs. I don't care about the bugs much, and I honestly haven't even encountered that many. Driving is shit, and combat can be fun but it the AI is atrocious and it just becomes way too easy because of that. Spoilers galore, these are my own clips, all on very hard difficulty:

The blades spec is especially making things way too easy. In the last (heavy spoilers) you can see that I actually had to resist just killing the boss with the katana in like 5 slashes and instead went around killing minions and shit just to prolong it a little bit. If they put the combat and movement from Ghostrunner (another recent cyberpunk game) in this, and got rid of the open world and instead made it hub or level based, it could easily be a great game as well. As it is, it's worth a playthrough but probably not for the asking price. I didn't buy into the hype at all, in fact I thought it was gonna be shit for the last year or so when the marketing really started picking up, so I was in the end pleasantly surprised. If I was hyped I probably would have asked for a refund about halfway in the game.
The Good:
- visuals
- music
- story
- characters
The Bad:
- driving
- AI
- combat (except for when you fully level pistols/revolvers)
- difficulty / lack of challenge
- any and all RPG systems
- the open world (completely pointless)
The Ugly:
- music direction
- lack of C&C sans 1 or 2 exceptions

The long form quests are pretty stupid. Drove around collecting the tarot cards and boy what a fucking waste.

Funny enough I had it, the tricky part was to find real ppl to play with. Anywaaay, that ship has sailed a long time ago.

More like "I'll pick whatever world in which I can display my tits and get some attention".
In 2077.

I was referring to your claim that the SRR games were not open-ended enough (which they aren't) for you to consider them over CP2077 for your Cyberpunk fix.

It's true m8.
Word is that Shuhei Yoshida phoned Kazanoru Yamauchi up, called him a massive bender and his ps5 game a bag of shit. Because he said there's a new REAL DRIVING SIMULATOR in town.

In order for them to properly cosplay CP2077, they need to display their "enhanced" genitalia.

The worst thing about the fucking game are the markers on the map that indicate where you find quests.
Makes the whole open world aspect obsolete.

No, of course it's not. But remembering the older SR game is important to know that gameplay in modern titles is stagnating, yet budgets are growing.
Well cum to onlyfans/patreon rips.
That's a big gripe for me, although it seems to be a general problem that all these types of games often have (esp Bethesda and their MQs). If you rattle through the MQ sections here and headcanon that it's urgent (as I did in my first char, short of the last couple of qs to finish), the presentation of the storytelling aspect of it is actually very nice, even brilliant in places. But on this char, I've been at the stage just before the Heist and I've spent, I dunno, about 3 in-game days clearing stuff in Northside, and I haven't heard a peep from Dex or anybody about the urgency of doing the Heist. I would expect some sort of call like, "C'mon, wtf are you playing at?" Similar thing happens after the Heist events.
OK game, so you want me to be invested in a sense of urgency for the story, cool, but if you're also providing me with an open world game, you need to let me know when I can stop suspending disbelief with the main story and get into pottering about in the open world, or you need to not let me potter about in the open world until there's breathing space in the story. It's very immersion breaking if no provision is made for this.

i find worse the lack of any kind of randomness. i mean, cyberpunk is meant to be DANGEROUS, turn a corner, get jumped and lose a kidney. in this game you never ever feel threatened.

I just looked up the reward for that one...guess I'll be ignoring them for now on.
Seriously...a fucking dreamcatcher to hang over our bed?!?!?
I don't know whether it's a bug or feature, but I was just doing that Regina quest where you have to rescue the BD editor with the blonde dreads from the Mox who went crazy. This time doing that quest, a couple of Maelstrom red skulls entered the building hunting for me just after I downed the psycho Mox - that didn't happen in my other playthrough. I've no idea whether this is a bug or the result of me pissing off Maelstrom so much that they sent some people after me. It would be nice to know. Nevertheless it was a welcome surprise, and quite challenging to deal with.
I suspect that as some are saying there are quite a few unfinished systems in the game that they cleaned out incompletely prior to release.
