I think flashback sequences with Silverhand and Blackwall are much much worse. They really do take absolute aaaages. Anytime I think of giving CP another chance I remember that you cant avoid that monotonous, boring cancer that pretends to be gameplay. I honestly can never understand how some people could possibly compare that to Deus Ex.
Takemura's just a lackey. He's in for Arasaka. He does reach out to you of his own free will in the simp ending because he has a kernel of humanity in him, and he knows how much you did for Araska, but that's it - he's still a corpo boot at the end of the day.The scripted sequence after the Heist is admittedly subjectively endless but it's the longest one, there are a few more later on but none of them are as relentless as that one and most of the game, by far, is just standard questing.
I suppose whether one perseveres through that overly-long sequence depends on whether one was gripped by the Heist just prior (e.g.etc.), whether one is into the Relic concept and the idea of uploading with two minds in one body, and all that. I found it very dark, and for me it was interesting to play in such a scenario, as such a character, so the lack of control never bothered me that much. Those kinds of sequences are what they are, they're a break from having control and they represent those moments in life where you are no longer in control, things fall apart, etc.witnessing Saburo's murder, Jackie's death,
To me, it's got lots of flaws but is still a fun experience overall.
Takemura becomes quite a complex character who you can take different viewpoints on. Most people find him to be a bro, but he might not actually be that, or might only be that to an extent delimited by his company loyalty, it's quite subtle.
Oh well
at least it wasn't level scaled.

The concept of hostile mind slowly taking over is not new to fiction and I agree that is an interesting premise. But the way CD Projekt wants the player to be just a passive recipient of the story is more suited to other mediums, like books or tv shows. Video games should give the player more agency and utilize the potential to make him an active participant in the events unfolding. The Nigh City is clearly a just a facade, a stage if you will; and the main quest is just a spectacle to which you are invited to participate, but only if you know and follow the steps without deviating from the music.
And sure - if you look from afar you can make a similar, more detached and abstract conclusion that in all games the players can only end in the states prescribed by the developers, but somehow there are titles that give you this sense of agency and let you immerse not as mere viewer, but as a participant as well.
I guess this type of interactive movies is just not for me, besides it's jank in all the wrong places.
Yeah, that sounds about right. Honestly, I don’t analyze the game that deeply anymore because everything feels like it’s trying way too hard to be edgy but ends up feeling forced. To me, this game barely surpasses Starfield in the sense that it doesn’t hold my attention for long. It took me about six months to finish Starfield, which I rated a 5/10. This one feels like a 6/10. Sure, it’s visually impressive with RT. The reflective puddles in the street look great. So what?
Whut. How do you have it already
Oh. I thought you meant multi frame gen
Ah yes, another update for the game everyone finished 3 years ago and now more or less looks like the way it should've been released.
It's not difficult when the base graphics without all these crutches look like a 2015 game.
