Holy fuck is there a lot of content in Cyberpunk 2077. I remember when the game came out people complained of it being as wide as an ocean and as deep as a puddle but those people can fuck right outta here. It’s chock full of interesting stories to learn about and tons of fun gameplay. Same goes for Phantom Liberty which takes countless hours to get through.
I get that cost does not directly correlate to play time when it comes to video games, but it’s hard for me not to gawk at how this game was sold for the same price point of the yearly reskin of <insert corporate slop here>.
No, the irony of how CyberPUNK was almost ruined by corporate interference is not lost on me, but it’s clear that the developers, artists, writers, programmers, and designers behind this game are true masters of the craft.
This year, I’m most looking forward to playing through it again after I’ve taken a good couple months off.
I enjoy Cyberpunk quite a lot too, but if you’re going to criticize the depth of the game, it’s not necessarily because the writing is subpar or anything. It would just be a reflection of how differently the game can play out with different builds. It’s a little better now with the 2.0 update, but the designers still very explicitly allowed for a hacking option here, a strength option there, and so on. Compare that against something like Baldur’s Gate 3 where you’re free to break all sorts of rules by just casting flight or invisibility on your party and solving a problem in a way that you came up with that the designers didn’t go out of their way to plan for. The latter is real depth. A deep RPG should probably feel like your experience was pretty different from others’ experience.
That’s fair. I guess I read the criticism like they were saying the game lacked the depth of the Witcher 3 which I would say is far from true. They’re roughly the same imo
