i was very excited - because I love the cyberpunk aesthetic since my teenage years - so I am always looking forward to games that represent this aesthetic and so with all the advertising of how extraordinary and advanced it will be - it is plain and simple a huge let down. when it comes to creating your character, games like saints row IV (2013) and fallout4 (2015) had a more advanced system than cyberpunk - even skyrim's (2011) character editor was better. what bugs me a lot: in the game you can't change yourself, as the story continues and makes progress, you can't have progress in your style: getting more tatts or change the hair, piercing, make up or change your augs at plastic doc - first i thought you can look into mirrors and at least change your hair & make up but no, you can just stare. a friend said: you feel like the most average character in NC under all these npcs. true and so sad, bc he is right. lifepaths, dialogue options, nothing is of impact. no relationships to the people around you. they hate you or they don't care, there are no deeper connections to them. risky situation, you know all is f***ked. dialogue. 3 options. you know all s***s but you calm your partner down with option 3. and instead from going on and make progress with that choice, dialogue just ends by using option 1 where you scream and blame your partner. 97% all of the dialogues are like that. the characters are not enough to go but the technical bugs with keys and all, has been adressed by others. the only plus point is the rich enviroment and the open world (and even here it lacks badly with interacting with it). when i see, all the other games and how they all were on release date and how far back they came out - i don't know where CDPR takes the audacity to bring out a game with so many bugs and flaws and delay it two big times.
