While I'm mostly enjoying my time in Night City, I'm finding myself sad and let down by how hollow it has begun to feel. I waited 8 years(!!) and hadn't been so hyped about anything in ages, based on all the amazing features CDPR touted. But I'm left with a lot of ?'s and disappointments. Where are the NPC's with daily schedules to bring life and depth to the world? I can't even make a 360 and guarantee that the character that was standing behind me is still there, or even the same person. I chased a car for a few minutes and everytime I looked away from the driver and back, it was a completely different NPC. There's absolutely no permanence to the "life" in the game, except for the cops outside your door who are forever standing there over a perp and offer nothing to your experience. Why did a cop instantly appear behind me when I shot that rando, even though there was no one else there? Why can't my car or quest NPC's navigate to me unless I'm not looking at them? It's almost like they're cheating instead of having competent mesh path-finding. What happened to "all the cars are unique/customized"? Why do 80% of the other cars around me become the same model as mine? Why are there 4 of the exact same NPC standing near each other in the same room? Why did CDPR patch out my ability to run around nude if I choose? Why must I be offered a car every 5 minutes? Why can't I NOT answer a call? Why is that forced phone call playing over top of a quest conversation I'm already in? How is that even possible to get by QA, after all these years and delays? Why a whole bunch of other things CDPR boasted about that don't exist? Why must CDPR have such terrible liars as CEOs and "leaders"? Why has CDPR ruined their reputation and made me feel this way about them? WHY? WHY?WHY?! I'm going to give CDPR a chance to fix this debacle, but if CDPR can't deliver on making CP2077 the deep and rich experience they promised, I will never purchase a title from them again. Burn me once...
