Question: - am I the only one that thinks the NPC's say nothing other than "stfu we won't talk to you?"

I mean, for a bunch of cyborg druggies who regularly plug their brains directly into the internet, I'm surprised they say anything at all

HHmmmm.... I suppose. Fair point I guess.

The "fun part" just ended.

So first off, I love the combat. It’s pretty tightly tuned, at least on Very Hard, such that everyone has a high lethality. You have to pick your targets carefully. You have to watch out for flanking and reinforcements. You have to aim well and dodge well. It’s really fun to just go full tilt in this game. Surviving is rarely a matter of stats alone. Tactical decisions always feel important.

But at the same time, there are much more relaxed and safe play styles.

The world building is incredible. There is so much nuance displayed in just the architecture of the world. The shards have a deep and tangled web of intrigue that can be both hilarious and incredibly dark. The lore of this game is top notch.

The characters have always been my favorite part of the game. There are some really nuanced and subtle interactions. There are choices that take real insight and emotional intelligence to navigate.

For example, the typical RPG player “nice and helpful” dude dialogue choices are often received negatively from other characters. Some times it’s not obvious why someone reacts the way they do until you’ve played the game a few times.

In general, this game takes meta-narratives very seriously. It rewards thinking about complex interpersonal issues with complex characterizations. It rewards thinking about complex moral decisions with complex moral implications. It rewards thinking about complex power dynamics with complex non-binary world building.

Lastly, I think it is a great cinematic experience. It blends cinema aesthetics and methodology with games mechanics in a way that I think is philosophical and profound and deeply engaging.

I can't quote your replies. But you can give it a shot, man. Just because someone said this game is not fun, doesn't meant that it is. And vice versa. YMMV.

Even this game is not like GTA or RDR 2, lack a features, but this game is good on their own way. Personally I disliked an open world games ((hate exploring big worlds, long storyline, travelling far away, etc etc). Never interested with Fallout\Skyrim either.

Some would say GTA is boring, too.

I was a little taken aback from the first impressions that I got in the opening scenes and art, which kind of made me think that the whole thing is going to be another "corporations are evil," exploit genre, which is just too ironic to mention more so I digress.

I thank you for your input and comments. I appreciate the writing, your input.

I am excited to see that you think that the characters are well developed and have a large part in the game. I always see that part - as a little more rewarding than the "aesthetic quality."

I'm not sure what you mean by "meta"

I really enjoyed the Deus-Ex games on very difficult mode because there was no way one could just shoot their way through a situation. I am optimistic that you mentioned that the combat is tightly tuned, for example I really hate the Tom Clancy walking bullet sponges.

**edited, not intended as troll bait, just wondering.**

First 6 hours is actually fun, in the first area with the only quest that is on par with witcher 3 quests, but after that it's pretty lame, I have 100% the game all side gigs and police side jobs too, and man it's all too boring as of right now, there few good quests but don't have multiple endings like witcher 3, hell witcher 3 had what over 300 different endings depending on ur decisions.

It's basically go here and kill all these people, go here and steal this and go here and escort this person, that is all of the side missions and 0 diver's in enemies, just the same old goons with guns and male weapons

I see... ok well, that kinda bursts my anticipation bubble. Some people say that the characters are actually engaging, however, I won't expect a witcher 3 type experience.

I really hope that they don't do to the next witcher what they did with CP 2077.

Yeah apparently most people that worked on witcher 3 are not working for cdpr anymore so I wouldn't get my hopes up, but if you don't compare cp2077 to witcher 3, you will get a half decent game, I love the settings, I love looking at the world, but don't intract with it because it will break, oh and the radio oh man the radio is the best part, well no Keanu is the best part than the radio, it's worth playing it still but just don't expect amazing quests

With that being said, I am HOPING that I am "missing something," and that I get immersed in this title, just as I have plenty of others, however- at this juncture, that is just not yet happening, but I am surly going to keep playing, and trying.

Speaking as someone who enjoys the game a lot, I'm not sure the "play it until it clicks" approach is going to work here. In six hours, you've had plenty of time to experience the main mechanics, the characters, the environment, and most of what the game has to offer. If you don't like the combat, it doesn't get any better. If the characters aren't interesting to you, they aren't going to become much more interesting. If you don't feel immersed in the world and it isn't a joy simply to wander around and take in the sights, you're missing out on one of the game's main strengths.

Not that there's anything wrong with continuing to play it, especially if you feel committed to getting your money's worth, but the game's not going to undergo any big transformations from this point. I'm just concerned that you might fall into the sunken cost fallacy and end up spending a lot of time on a game you don't like and end up regretting it.

But what do I know? You may very well start to appreciate the things CP77 does after spending more time with it. I'm just offering a rando's perspective.

The side quests are the best quests in the game, IMHO.

I'm talking about the true side quests and companion quests, not the spammed NCPD quests.

Though, the NCPD quests are fun little deals if you're already in the neighborhood doing something else.

I think- if you're being honest with yourself- mine is really the best answer.
