Cyberpunk was unfairly derided by groupthink caused by the circumstances of its launch

All the sheeple who let social media narratives dictate their thought processes missed out on an amazing experience.

      That’s cool and all, but the promises are still unfulfilled. Why do you and others keep forgetting this fact?

    The bugs were the least of the game's concerns. The real problem was the fact that it was marketed as a Deus Ex immersive sim with RPG elements and cascading choices and ended up being kind of a linear moviegame.
    It's a good moviegame, I liked the characters and the story, even wholesome chungus man was amazing as Johnny, but that's still not what people were shilled.

    ive been playing it this week.
    imo the character sound too edgy and empathetic. Ok I get that its a cyberpunk universe so the edgy part doesn't bother me that much, but they're supposed to be hardened sociopathic street thugs so why the frick do they care so much about each other, why does female V sounds so motherly towards the spanish friendly guy (forgot his name) and cries when he dies. why do they act like groupies when dexter deshaws (the fat nig) hires them
    to me this is what breaks immersion the most. the streets are supposed to be cold and grim, everyone for themselves, doggy dog world. street thugs aren't supposed to care that much about people who are not blood related to them.

      Jackie and V were supposed to have been buddies for months by that point and have gotten through many fun little adventures, but it's all just brushed off in the little opening montage so it falls flat. Which is super odd imo because the game does a better job making you connect with characters later on.
      Plus, look, anon. It's not supposed to be a cold Sopranos tier crime drama. It's a silly videogame about people with fricking mantis blades coming out of their arms and one of the main characters is a cool rock star with a big dick who's also a badass commando reactionary who sticks it to the man and commits terrorism. It's a theme park.

            What side content? You mean the missions. Not the "actual side content".
            The missions are shit whether they're Story or Side missions. The gameplay is shit. I love the setting, and that's why I hate the game so much. The Night City in game is cardboard. It doesn't look like the putrid reality that Night City is.
            The game deludes itself as Blade Runner.
            It's more akin to a melodramatic Saints Row.
            It was dreamed to be a full-engagement Transmetropolitan.
            Or merely a video game of the Cyberpunk pen and paper game.
            As is it barely scratches the Cyberpunk itch, it barely captures the vibe.
            The real world provides more of a Cyberpunk 'feel' than the official video game falsely representing the setting.
            All my criticisms would be alleviated if CDPR didn't feel it necessary to put the Cyberpunk IP into a stranglehold just to realize their mediocre vision.
            If it was called FUTUREGHOST: 2077 or something apparently dumb as the plot or creative process behind the games contents itself I'd not be here b***hing to myself and you right now anon.

            Nothing can redeem that the very experience of the game subject you to the plot of the chip in your head, and how that entire plot does not predate but justifies having Keanu Reeves on board. They should have made the games story the Netflix show, made the game a pen and paper realization. (As close to one any developer could get)

      That's not really what happened.
      What actually happened was the game came out on PS4 and absolutely did not work. CDPR was flooded with tweets and (supposedly) calls to their support lines saying to refund them, and CDPR said that players would have to go through Sony to deal with that.
      So all those people then started hitting up sony support saying that CDPR said to get with Sony, and Sony said no, frick that, we're not dealing with a bunch of angry players and took the game down from the store to stop the madness then issued an automated, no questions asked refunds for anyone that bought the game digital.

      So while it technically was because the game was broken, it wasn't until CDPR pissed off Sony by telling the fan base that it's Sonys problem to deal with that the game was removed from the store. Had CDPR never said that Sony has to deal with it the game probably would have never been taken off the store.

    You're right. It is time we individually deride it for its shit story and weak execution of its advertised concept. It will be irrelevant except for retrospective analysis one year after Starfield's release.
    Three to five years after that you'll be able to prompt via AI a superior "Cyberpunk" game that's more Cyberpunk than 2077 and without a creative director who's bankrupt in that regard and can think only to advertise fully realized role-playing game in a provided elaborate setting yet making the whole time a 30hour Hardcore Henry movie staring Keanu Reeves as your personal hologhost.
