I was informed the week of and bought the game on a whim. It’s my single favorite story based game I’ve ever played. I played the Witcher 3 later on but even then I never felt that same feeling of wonder that night City gave me. It was almost like the flaws made the game feel more humanized and such I cared about it more. (Long winded way to say coping hard)

    I completely get you! I have the same feeling about Skyrim. The game is great... in 2011. And don't get me wrong, it holds up in some aspects, mostly to do with the world and immersion. But objectively speaking the game is a mess. The story is lackluster, the gameplay- simple and very meh without mods, and the bugs... I don't have anything to add about the bugs. But even with all that, Skyrim is my favourite game of all time! There is just nothing that has come close to the experience that IS SKYRIM for me. Elden Ring almost came close, but it was just too good and polished of a game to have that certain charm. I ahven't played cyberpunk yet, as I just don't have the hardware to run the damn thing, plus I wanted to wait until they polish it and release the DLC. But even while watching people bash the game, from the gameplay and story moments I have seen, I understand the peoples hate for the unfulfilled promise, but i don't share it. And this is coming from someone who pre-ordered the damn thing! (first and last time). In short, I think I'll like cyberpunk 2077, when I'll get to play it. It is simply a ''human'' game, if that makes sense.

    The gigs and the ncpd scanners are so underrated because most people do not read the shards or the computer conversations in them. When you realize that so many of the characters mentioned in those shards and computer convos can be met in the game and that they're connected, the sense of reward is great because it adds a lot to the world building of the game and makes night city so much more alive. But I would have loved more missions with the main characters of course, although the ones we got, especially with panam were pretty long.

    I don't agree with the characters, for example Jackie, his contents is really small and his personality one dimentional. You have a few scripted scenes and when it's in gameplay he is really a pain in the ass, blowing your cover, shouting like an idiot and not doing anything interesting. We love him at first but after a while i was happy that he was dead and just a good memory. Same with Johnny, he quickly becomes annoying with his mind locked in an Arasaka hatred. And the worst V, they wanted to make V as neutral as possible so everybody can have his V but in this way he or she is just a nobody, no past, no future and a shitty life being a dirty mercenary in a pile of crap. Maybe it's why they want him dead so he cannot come back in the future! Just compare with TW3 characters and it's just another world, it's hard to believe that the same people made the two games or maybe they were not the same, without the helps of The witcher books and background they just showed that they could not create a good working world.

And on top of all this the writers were able to get the players to *love* him in the short time we had with him and really feel V's connection and friendship and closeness to him, and they were able to make him dying feel like a fucking shot.

The problem with cyberpunk is that its supposed to be future fantasy.

    Honestly I think one of my biggest problems with cyber punk is the way the story begins. You start off w an intro mission and then get shown a clips of your character and Jackie going around and completing jobs. It’s only after this that you get to start playing. I really don’t understand why they would make the most fun part of the game unplayable. It makes no sense. I 100% expected to come to night city and learn the ways of the people there, but all we got was an intro clip and a car. To add onto this, why does V not have any upgrades after all that time working with Jackie? It’s not like it’s a new technology…. Did Jackie never show V about upgrades until later on??? It’s very confusing that our character is apparently now familiar with the city, but we as a player still have no idea wtf is going on. When you play a game that is heavily story driven and played from your character perspective, I feel like I should be thinking the same things as my character. That intro video was so immersion breaking and disappointing. I remember first watching that cutscene and I just sat there dumbfounded. Like “why am I not playing, experiencing this with my character?” It’s one of the main reasons I can’t play the game. I feel like being able to play the very beginning of our journey in night city would be much better than delivering a guy with a faulty Dick implant (yes that’s a real mission)

    To the point of Cyberpunk's main quest putting the player on a tight schedule and immersion breaking as you take your time with the side content, I really felt that when playing the game as well. Contrast that to the Witcher III where Geralt searching every inch of the world makes perfect sense as his main objective is to find Ciri who could be anywhere. I've always thought that the found the golden goose in making the main quest of an open world game "search the entire world". Another thing that bothered me a ton while playing cyberpunk was how you get to customize your character in any physical manner imaginable, even choose their backstory, but the game still forces V's personality/morality on the player. When walking around the map, I would often feel the only way to not commit at least quadrouple homicide at every street corner was to purposefully avoid engaging in the games marked content, in other words to not play the game. I wish I would have had the freedom to not play an almost indiscriminantly killing V given the game pretends to put the character of V in the players hands. It also doesn't seem right that there are seemingly no repercussions for killing anywhere from 30 to 70 gang members in a given in game day, but I guess the underworld bosses just can't be bothered.

    instead of three weeks they should have given V either a year or 6 months. That would have solved alot of issues with the pacing and immersion. Lmao it's not that immersive where I only have three weeks to live but I decide to go racing with Claire or eat with River and his family like everything is fine. And they should have made a few side quests be main quests like the Rogue ones and maybe even Kerry's ones. Basically every side quest related to Johnny should have been in the main quest. If you choose to ignore the side quests you literally finish the game in a couple of hours which is so stupid. I dont agree with the small side missions though, I think that having them in the map made more sense because sometimes I dont really wanna explore for hours to find these small quests or have to search on the internet to find them so while I agree that it sometimes make these small interactions less memorable its much better than not coming across them at all in your game just because you didnt visit this random store. I do agree with most points in your video though. The way Witcher 3 made the contracts was much better than the way CP did the gigs even though they werent that terrible. My condolences to your sister aswell.

    Just finished my first play-through, took me a bit to get into it, I agree with pretty much all you said, I finished dealing with Takemura on a quest and had him call me like 5 seconds later from across town. wtf? I had fewer visual bugs than you did. Only drove bikes because they handled halfway decent, cars were a gong-show. People in the city were boring, cops were dumb. Overall though once I got sucked in, I got sucked in.

    I too abandonned Night City shortly after the game released, later in the story tho. I also fully agree with your statement on the supposed "redemption ark". Hell no. They fixed some technical issues. Cool. FFXIV and No Man´s Sky, those game had redemption arks. Not this one, not in the slightest. However.. when I played through Cyberpunk last year with a bit different mindset, I actually had really good time. It was not the game we were promised, not at all but starting the game knowing that I am not playing the game I was waiting for, for 10 years, it allowed me to immerse myself into V much more. And in the end it actually gave me that satysfying, emotional conclusion that I hoped for. Combining Judy romance and Aldecaldos ending was.. bittersweet.

    Very good video. I appreciate and agree with most of your analysis of the vanilla game here. I never played it much tbh, bc like I do with most games, I quickly saw the things I didn't like and modded them. There's a limit ofc but between scissors, djkovric, rmk, e3rok, and many others, most of the issues you have with gameplay at least are made much better through mods. Game Time Tweaks for 1:1 timescale fixes the ticking clock aspect. Scissors Difficulty Options and Vehicle Combat mods make enemies and combat much more interesting. Daemon Netrunning, Better Netrunning, and No Scanner Time Dilation can make hacking builds much more challenging and fun. There are even some options to improve and expand romances with Judy, Panam, etc. that really add depth to that aspect. IMHO modding is such standard practice these days that it's silly to ignore it, especially when it's intended and supported by the game devs.

Not just police and vehicle, but there's gonna be things like a new melee system, more world interactivity, enemy netrunners, etc. I love Cyberpunk much for the same reasons as you, but also because I recognize the incredible potential this game has. Whether it lives up to that potential with Patch 1.7 and Phantom Liberty remains to be seen.

I've spent more than 400 hrs into this game but I have to admit that this game is no where near a masterpiece even at its current state. After 2 years, Cyberpunk as a nearly-good game with a lot of bugs has just turned into a good game with fewer bugs.

Then I finally finiahed it on console when PS5 patch dropped, but I rushed through the story to justify my purchase and put it down. I just got back to it and it clicked. I'm finiahing all side quests doing all gigs, playing slowly and going for plat probably i future. I'm 80h in and pobaly will put another 80 and that's for me is a lot for a game like this.

    Of all the languages possible you chose to speak facts. This game is a rollercoaster that pulls you in and out of the immersion. The moments in this game are heavy, and memorable, with some of the best video game music i've heard in recent times. I could sit with Panam and the Aldecaldos at that campfire for hours, drinking with River while glaring at Night City, getting away from it all spending time with Judy, or laying back listening to Kerry's peaceful riffs. But, as soon as it ends i get this familiar feeling of something akin to waking up from a dream. Im back in this world that just feels dead, a complete contrast to those moments. Everything feels like a checklist facilitated by a main plot that makes me feel guilty for even doing them.
