The game is extremely enjoyable. Too much maybe. And that is a problem. Bugs and glitches were to be expected, so... not a big deal. The _*BIG*_ problem is elsewhere. Somewhere along the lines somebody lost the "punk" in "cyberpunk". A lot of the commentary is set up that cyberpunk is known for... and nothing is done with it. Nobody takes a stance. Yes "show don't tell" and all that. But the problem is not the lack of "telling". It's the lack of "showing". Some of those "downtrodden" areas look cleaner than most places i work in. And i'm a CEO. You do not hear... i dunno... people going to a crappy japanese imitation restaurant that serves you dishes with funerary implements and a random dude complaining that "yeah, japan is truly dead here" or somebody complaining that the items in the menus sound like they are picked from somebody who has never spoken a line of japanese in 50 years, with maybe the waiter/ress complaining that yeah (s)he would really like to go to japan one day if she ever can afford it... or something along those lines. You do not pick a voice that has people call you "a man" and get to tell everybody to f- themselves over with a chainsaw for calling you a man. You do earn street cred for... lowering crime?!?! WTF? If anything i should earn street cred for raising it! There is... no outrage at anything. Your character does not and cannot take a stance on anything important. Because nothing is important to them. And that would be a valid commentary... if your character was 70 and tired of being a punk, having seen Johnny fail in his silver days. Because that is what this feels like. Some..."thing" that has no rage left. It does not really take a stance. It just goes through a list of problems to solve. It feels... "tired" of corporate sh**. So tired... it does not try anymore. Because there is no sense in trying. That is how i feel in real life. But not how i should feel in a video game i bought to not feel like that.
