Cyberpunk is luckily more mature than GTA5

DEFINITELY more mature than GTA V.

And that's wonderful!

I disagree. What I appreciated about the whole GTA series was that it was actually rather witty satire concering American cultural tropes. It really showed that the quests and the radio scripts were written by a competent comedian - comedians are usually brilliant observers and commentators on social and political issues (Colbert, Stewart, Conan O'Brien, John Oliver, etc.)

The Chatterbox and WCTR radio was absolutely brilliant. I did not play Cyberpunk yet, but it seems to be a straightforward attempt to please the fans of the genre, taking itself perhaps a bit too seriously. GTA never took itself too serious - and perhaps that's why there are some very serous topic like torture used by secret serviced touched in a very thought-provoking manner. GTA, in any case, leans on a very experienced and confident writer(s), which would be hard to match.

I'd say they are about the same.
Cyberpunk could have taken it to the next level but it didn't.
I mean if you compare main quest lines they are as adult as one another, if you compare the world then the only reason cyberpunk may seem more mature is because there's nothing going on as opposed to gta's occasional funny sidequest... but then again funny can be adult as well.

Interesting points. But in my view, GTA V far too often 'celebrated' the violence and US (gun) culture without questioning it. It may be that this demands too much from a videogame, but although Cyberpunk is an even more graphically violent game that GTA ever was, it never displays cruelty and murder as a superficial comedy.

And consider this: Even racism can nowadays be distributed under the guise of 'satire'.

GTA 5's writing was inferior to GTA 4's. I'm in agreement with Kamamura about the satire in the franchise UP to 5, and there the best I can do is "well, Hollywood is a parody of the USA, so how do you parody a parody?" It just really didn't work for me - which isn't to say I didn't enjoy my time playing 5, it's just it never held up to the enjoyment I found in 4, or San Andreas.

That GTA 5 NEVER gave SP players a DLC also speaks volumes to me. How many hundreds of useless gigabytes have I downloaded for Online crap I neither want nor need?

I think the writing is better in CP77 honestly. That's an opinion (subjective) but it's more elegant and sublime. The moral choices offered up in CP77 are a lot more interesting as well.

The writing (and yup, mature content) of CP77 has tickled those neurons in my memory banks and motivated me to dust off and revisit my favorite cyberpunk novels from the 80's, and that itself speaks volumes imo.

They are two completely different narratives. GTA is a light-hearted thriller with some great humour and dramatic scenes. Cyberpunk is more of an action thriller but with pure comedy glitches and hilariously bad game design in places.

Same here.

In my view, GTA5 is filled to the brink with cynicisms, kiddie content and unfunny BS.

I think I like both equally. But Cyberpunk has a lot more potential to be something else completely insane. GTA 5 is a lot more polished.

Fry people synapse and short circuit thru camera is fun. I kill you and you can't touch me.

Aside from Stewart. The others are complete trash as comedians.

Why start with personal insults? How old are you?

[Affronter]

One of the reasons I could not finish GTA V was the immaturity especially when it came to its expletive-filled dialog.

U most be joking，Cyberpunk is far better than GTA V in terms of gameplay writing and so much more
