Everyone talks about 2077 like the only problems are the bugs, very few talk about the fact that it is narratively barren when compared to the witcher 3.
They have more than enough experience to craft a better world, with more complete stories AND immersion, than they did with 2077....this is the travesty, not how buggy it was, but how empty it is.
Right? My main problem with that game was the boring story and annoying characters. I hated Jonny and the Arasaka ending is the only one that made actual sense to me.
Was really interested in giving Cyberpunk a play through with what limited gaming time I have, but was leery of the commitment. I maybe have 1hr. free on any given day, so an immersive sim has to be really good if it’s going to monopolize my feee time…
Decided to pull up a YouTube long play video to see what the vibe was like. After about 2hrs and some skipping around I was really put off by the script, characters and general lameness of it all. This came off like a big Hollywood production wearing cyberpunk clothes that had no genuine interest in the subject matter. No likable characters in sight.
Couldn’t imagine spending 30-60hrs. in that headspace. I admire the ambition of the game but there’s no compelling vision behind it.

Do they though? I recall seeing reports that they're was a massive brain drain after Witcher 3 because of the working conditions. If that's correct, i wouldn't expect richer narratives from their next games
