I could spend dozens of hours just exploring Night City like a tourist.
I have spent dozens of hours exploring Night City like a tourist, I mean, but I could spend dozens more (and almost certainly will, if I ever get a graphics card that can run it decently with ray casting).
And then there’s actually playing the game, of course, which for me has been fun from day one, but then again the PC version seems to have been spared most of the bugs.
The strangest thing… I have to agree. But what’s weird to me is that I can see all the issues with the game and don’t even necessarily disagree when people list all their gripes with it. The world feels empty, sure. The inventory clutter/management sucks. True. The quests aren’t even that good and a lot of the map is filled with the same police scanner shit. And yes, The Witcher had way better quests and practically no filler bullshit, and I had wished that CP2077 was the same…
All true. It’s simply that it… doesn’t seem to affect my enjoyment of the game at all. I love it.
It is also the only game I’ve ever played where I actually enjoy driving. I hate racing/car games and pretty much any other game that has driving… I will always prefer walking to driving. I don’t even drive IRL.
But in CP2077… damn, I love the driving. Fast travel might as well not exist! I purposefully pick quests that are on the other side of the map, just so I can drive there. It’s so damn relaxing, cruising around, radio on, Night City is so beautifully built.
It’s perfectly normal that not everyone likes every game and it’s not even a fault of the games. On the contrary I believe games shouldn’t even try to cater to everyone but rather be targeted at a specific crowd.
You might want to have a look at character builds people are doing, you can get a lot of playstyles out of the game and the somewhat default “Well this is how I played FO3 and NV” build that I naturally gravitated to was indeed meh. Choosing corpo vs. streetkid vs. nomad has basically zero influence on gameplay and whether you like it it’s just some roleplay flavour, but a netrunner vs. ninja vs. beserk build? The game changes completely.
I still don’t get it… Then people can show their love for the game and engage in the discussion.
It’s not like the comment comes across as trolling or anything… You don’t need to upvote it, but downvoting is unnecessarily hostile to someone who could be a fan too.

It’s completely unironically one of the most fun games i’ve played in recent history. Even more so with the expansion

Hard to say. I think it’s an amazing game, but I recognize how polarizing of a game it is.

Wait, why are you getting downvoted?

And this is the CP2077 sub.
Yeah, I don’t understand why people find it necessary to drop into an enthusiast’s community to voice their ambivalence or dislike of something.
Lemmy is so empty that by scrolling all it happens without you noticing it. At least that’s the case for me.

I just meant that people here are probably fans of the game and that’s why they might be hostile to negative stuff
I have 312 hours in it.
It’s decent.
Was actually thinking earlier today about getting back into it, as it’s been a while.
That’s incredible value for the money, in a world where Capcom releases 70 Euro titles that last 10 hours at best
