It'll be devoid of any surprise, of anything really exceptional or memorable. It'll be very competent Deux Ex on steroids, lightly streaked with wokeness.

If it is, I'll buy two.

I do not think CDPR groks what makes DX so great. It might capture some of the superficial atmosphere, but beyond that, colour me skeptical.

Basic competence is exceptional now

All I know, is that it will trigger another 100 page long discussion about whether it can be called a RPG or not.

Then it will become local GOTY and everyone will pretend it's shit to sound smarter. Happens every year.

Oblivion and skyrim are both rated 94 and 97 on metacritic, they are obviously RPGs and masterpieces like everyone says.
As always let's be like casuals and do not try to be critical against those games.

Blivion had more depth than the witcher 3 though

That's why I specified- """ local GOTY """, metacritic is shit.

I think it'll be good at what it's doing, but a lot of people will want it to be something else and will thus say it's bad.

probably worse than witcher 3 and bugged to shit at release because cdpr doesn't know shit about shooters
and then they'll make a dlc that's actually a subtle retelling of some classic cyberpunk story like mona lisa overdrive and it'll become goty

Yes, this seems to be the MO for most big companies that have a few decent people hidden away now. Produce main game with normie-friendly ratio of techno-diarrhea, then after the money has been safely made they let their in-house grognards off the leash to make a DLC or two for people of culture.

I'm not expecting this to be a good game, CDPR hasn't made a good game yet - I don't expect them to start now.

But I am open to being pleasantly surprised.

Let's face it if you dont have direct control of a character in 3rd or first person

You're reading a book

That isnt a game

I think it'll be alright. Won't live up to the hype, but be worth a playthrough all the same.
