Yeah but will it ever be good on current gen? On PC does it really fix all the issues people have with the empty world and shallow gameplay or does it just have less bugs and better performance?
PC just runs better. it had a lot of bugs and still has many.
the map still feels dead. npcs wander around like zombies. there's not much reason to explore the map. it's there mostly there just for show which is a shame because it really does look amazing. On a technological level Night City is impressive. It's crazy how CDPR managed to build it. i just wish they made it fun to explore and interact with.
all the RPG elements feel useless. you have a character creation but your appearance doesn't really matter. you only see yourself in the menu, mirrors, third person vehicle camera, and a cutscene at the end of the game. when i saw my character i was thinking i forgot they had those piercings, that lipstick, and blue eyes! the game also lets you level up stats and build a skill tree. i never felt like it made any difference. you can upgrade weapons but there's no need. you could get through the game with the same sword/gun from the start of the game.
police/enemy interaction is fucked. police situation is a bit better than it was but don't expect anything like GTA. npc enemies are brain dead and blind. the stealth sections are so easy because the AI is so bad. enemies will "see" you but it doesn't matter because they won't really do anything except shoot at you. they can't easily target or follow you.
the story is always on the go so it rarely if ever makes any sense to stop and go do side quests. maybe at the start of the game. the story is so short so i got through it and had hardly got any money to buy cyberware or a car. i went through it with the starter car and basic cyberware (the chip you get for hacking and some other shit you get early on). the game introduces characters and forgets/abandons them. i thought characters like jackie/evelyn/judy/panam/smasher/alt/rogue/meredith were all gonna be important characters throughout the story but nope. jackie dies. evelyn disappears but you find her and then you never see her again. judy appears for a couple missions and you never see her again. same with panam. smasher appears at the beginning and i know you can fight him but my ending i never saw him again. rogue is hardly there. alt shows up for a bit and that's it. meredith is on screen for like a minute then dies. characters like judy/panam if you want more of them you need to go to their side quests cause they quickly fall out the main story.
the game is all over the place. it's rushed and unfinished. it's broken. even if CDPR do patch the game and add expansions it's not gonna do much. the game needs completely reworked on the levels of FFXIV/NMS and that ain't gonna happen. i have just stopped caring about the game. i guess all we can really hope for now is that the next Cyberpunk game learns from all these mistakes. there is no hope for 2077. i would only recommend playing it if you wait until they release more patches, all the free DLC, and expansions. once that's done and we get a "Enhanced Edition" then buy that for cheap when there's a sale.
