Just finished the game after 75 hours of gameplay. Including every side quest, gig, and main storyline. I could not muster up the time and energy needed to do the NCPD scanner "quests" or collect-a-car-athon. After hour 60 or so, the passion and energy I had to come home to play this magically dissapeared. I was immersed in the story and the characters, but in that ending I played I was left wanting so much more. All of my choices, the culmination of my story, just fell out the bottom, much like a wet fart. Once the credits started to roll, I was excited to see what would happen once I was back in night city, but to my dismay. NOTHING. All of my hard work, all those hours, the stories told, and it wrapped up like soggy bottom biscuit in a damp, brown paper bag. I received no reward for finishing the game my unique way. This game could have been great, it had potential, and deep down I still hope this game finally gets finished in whatever state it may be. I can not, and it really pains me to say this, but I do not recommend this game to anyone in the state it is now [patch 1.0.6]. The story, while immersive at times, just does not deliver enough to justify spending the hours needed to fully complete it. The bugs I trogged through. the poor optimization settings I had to triffle with to even get this run "smoothly", and the constant hope of it will get better until it finally ends with the resounding dud of a cheap, knockoff smoke bomb. I wish I had better things to say about this, but I can not in good faith say that this was a good experience. The fun I did have was forced to justify spending money on a half-baked, incomplete, husk of a video game. Stay away, and pour your time and effort in a game that rewards you for your unique choices. 4/10 My faith in CDPR is in shambles and they do not seem like they are even attempting to reconcile any of it back. Such a shame. Thank you for reading, have a nice day.
