I have heard all the criticisms and I just don't care. I don't care about the stupid civilian and police AI, I don't care about the immersion breaking bugs. I don't care about the "lack of open world depth". I don't care about the annoying console inspired interface and key bindings, and I don't care about performance issues (I played on: R 3900x, 32gb ram, NVME drive, and a GTX 980ti - solid system but not designed with gaming in mind), Clearly, the game has more than its share of issues, but the heart of the experience is in the narrative, characters, and in the beautifully rendered Night City. The game nails these key components, and as far as I care, everything else is null sweat. I was hooked and loved the game for what it was. I can't believe how many hours I pumped into this game since release and I will be savouring the experience for some time to come. I'm one of those gamers that usually avoids all the boring arse side quests, but here, they are actually fun. They bring new perspectives to the city and develop some important human interaction and sense of connection that might otherwise be lost in the cold, harsh reality of Cyberpunk 2077. If you want a bland FPS that runs at 200 fps buy a different game. If you want a deep roleplaying game you should probably look somewhere else. If you want a game where you can waste your life exploring every nook of a vast open world, look somewhere else. If you want a solid cyberpunk themed, narrative driven game then you have come to the right place. I'm sure there's a broader "grey zone" of appreciation, but that's all I wanted. GG pls make more. Give me a net runner specific DLC. That's my one criticism. I wanted more running (like some would have been nice) and less pewpew, and quickhacks are no substitute.
