Cyberpunk 2077 was always what it was an nothing more. If you're suddenly expecting it to be GTA, then yea, that's on you, that was never going to be the game. "choices matter"? Well, there's a number of completely different endings, and a number of quests end completely differently based on YOUR choice, but sure, let's go with choices don't matter. There's a reason it has mostly/very positive reviews. I have little sympathy for people that let hype take over.
So what is it that Cyberpunk does well? Bladerunner themed photo booth?
With that attitude? Nothing for you unfortunately. There is a group of people that no matter what Cyberpunk 2077 added, it would never be enough, and that's okay, not every game is for everyone. I personally had a great time with most of Cyberpunk 2077, there were choices, character building, a fun world to explore, fun gameplay, etc. Was it perfect? Gods no, but that didn't stop me from enjoying most of my time with it.
as an aside, I should stop mentioning this game, it almost always turns a bit too negative.
I apologise. It was more combatitive that I should have been, though I am somewhat perplexed by your criticism of the player base. It seems you agree that Cp doesn't have narrative chops and immersivness/attention to detail of a Rockstar game, and its RPG systems and reactivity are very surface levels. But it is a game that is absolutely trying to be Cyberpunk GTA/Deus Ex. To me its like saying you can't criticise Redfall for not being a good coop-shooter... while it is precisely what the game tries to be. It is a fairly fresh setting for a game though, but in its unfinished state it left me more frustrated than anything - some promising tidbits the game never followed up on.
I had no hype for Cyberpunk - I got burned before and Cp raised a lot of red flags. I didn't touch it until [looks at gog) 8 months ago. You are right, there is still sizable audience that enjoys the game quite a bit - that is probably I was expeciting something less forgettable. It is not the first time CDPR released an unfinished game - especially Witcher1&2 needed a year to mature. But I really believe Cyberpunk wouldn't get the time of day if not for Witcher3 success.
But hey, if you found things to enjoy in it, I have no intention to argue. More power to you. But the game is very, VERY flawed even in its best bits (and don't get me wrong, the game has good bits). I don't think hype and expectations are entirely to blame. Even now, I don't think even now the game is in a state worthy of 1.0 release - I can't imagine how bad it must have been on the release.
But yeah circling to the original point - at the moment want to hear more about the patch. I don't expect new systems, but those that are in the game are in a dire need of a rework.
