Almost made diamond, settled with carbon
Pre-ordered, played 300h then came back for 2.0 and the DLC, currently at 500h. There are parts that I love enough to be able to get lost in Night City and the stories in there - for me, thats one of the most important part of an RPG game. Builds, intresting main and side quests, charaters - it's all in there - and I saw that from Day 1, that's what kept me coming back. Why this game could've been a 5/5 game: - great story, with a few major, more lesser but still noticeable choices - and the important elements feel important, they have weight - awesome, compelling characters whom I kept wanting to know more about - may they be good or bad, and whats most important, in between - Johnny Silverhand became one of my favorite video game characters of all time - Night City feel enormous and alive - always something to do (main and side quests, gigs), to achieve (finishing quest lines, getting unique weapons, doing all of a fixers gigs) or just drive around with your car and enjoy the view and awesome soundtracks - the implants/cyberware mechanics are well made: you can just get extra armor to support your build, or get special ones to complete it - some are fun, others can be game changing Why I won't give it 5/5: - still, after so many patches - which DID took care so many bugs - some quests are unfinished, dialogs don't match what came before, like they were put together inconsistently or before/after creative changes - items locked behind promotion - right after the game starts to get momentum, you go into twitch and other BS stuff - romance options blocked for one or the other character makes no sense - and the FACT THAT JUDY HAD MALE ROMANCE WHICH GOT CUT OUT IS TOTAL BS - and I might not care about female V + Panam stuff, but the people who does are also right to call it out - nice way to break immersion with part of the car race side quests... totaly unneccesary, and makes no f-ing sense (Remember CDPR, no amount of ESG money can buy you fans!) 3.5
