I played Cyberpunk at launch and while I had some bugs, I generally really enjoyed it and did each of the missions in the game,
I decided to replay it since it’s been updated a lot and I’ve found that I’m just bored when playing it. I think I spend about half the time just skipping dialog and the other half shooting.
The combat sections seem to pass too quickly just to have a bunch of story to wade through.
Maybe I’m just in the mood for a different kind of game.
This was my experience playing it when it first released. It felt like a bland shooter and didn’t interest me in the least.
Needless to say, I’ve been playing the crap out of tarkov pve lately. About time they removed the pvp tryhard stuff
I’m no fan of the 2077, but thinking of it solely as a shooter is doing it a bit of a disservice given that you usually* have different approaches to in-game situations.
You can build around hacking, engineering, speech checks, melee combat, stealth cyberwarfare etc.
I felt that the projectile mechanics were sort of neat but I will agree that I don’t think the game really has legs when merely thought of as a FPS. Perhaps it had some potential in the past, part of their PL govt funding agreement was to release a multiplayer mode as well. I’d imagine that’d focus a little more on gunplay, and slightly less on QuickTime interactions involving hacking and such, but who knows.
*there are situations which require direct combat iirc
I recommend giving it another try if your only experience was the game on release. It really received a labour of love and has very fun gameplay options. I went for a throwing knife slow mo grenade build and had a blast throughout the whole playthrough
