Thanks for not jumping on the hate bandwagon.
Every content on this game has only been (quite dishonestly, especially now) focused on the terrible glitches on the PS4/XBox One versions, even though most of these people actually had the game on PC where it is far from being "unplayable". I was kind of disappointed as well of course, as someone who expected a game at least as good and revolutionary as The Witcher 3 during all these years, the gunfights are not bad but nothing amazing and the driving is really clunky. Nonetheless, the story is really well-written, and as you said, all those people who said the game can be finished in 20 hours are either liars, or people who never enjoy a game and only play it as a speedrunner, even on their very first playthough…
****SPOILERS**** Good review! It is always interesting to hear different perspectives. My interpretation of the game, was that the city itself was an allegory for the loss of one's identity and culture, and the cybernetics is a physical reminder of the loss of one's humanity. In Sinner Man, we see the beauty of forgiveness and healing, that is possible with religion, where a woman forgives a convict for murdering her brother, only to have a corporation come along and exploit that religion for consumerism in the most horrifying way possible. We see something similar in people like Lizzy Wizzy, who has changed so much of her body, that the question is posed, "When do you cease being human, and at what cost?" Notice she doesn't become more robotic, she just becomes a disgusting human being, and represents the worse parts of social media addiction… She literally killed someone, and it revived her career online. The concept of the dolls, represents the way people view women (and men) in pornography… not as people but mindless meat… The idea that a person doesn't want to know who the doll is, but wants her to cater to his desires alone… Forgetting any concept of intimacy that doesn't involve complete narcissism. Johnny Silverhand celebrates authenticity with music, and one's right to choose their own meaning in life…. Which is why he fights against corporate control of the government, and effectively the people that live in Night City. He is also there to establish that it isn't the cybernetics that is the problem, Johnny is more human than half the people in the city. We also have Delamin which represented the lack of empathy and coldness that comes from giant corporations like Amazon… That the company is effectively ran by data models and analytics rather than people. The various cars that you must rescue are the workers who have no other choice but to work for Delamin, and are unable to alter the route they are on. There are many other examples that resonated with me. But, I guess what I am trying to say, is that some of the explicit and offensive images, to me, were not there for the player's enjoyment but to contextualize the setting as gross and hence… In the best ending when V and Panam decide they don't need the city anymore and leave, they are throwing these ideals away in favor of living authentically. With that said… The game in many cases veered so close to the edge trying to make a point, that I felt uncomfortable, and I'm still not sure if that is a positive attribute of the story or a negative… But I can absolutely empathize with people that felt the game exploited them all the same with it's messaging. Great review! – Hat
I didn't play The Witcher 3 at launch (playing on Xbox One X), but it would appear that that game started out in a more polished way. It certainly seems to have arrived at a high degree of polish, whatever the case. I just don't know how many patches & whatnot it had to get there.
Given the developer's track record, do you think we can expect Cyberpunk on consoles to eventually rise to a high level of polish? Particularly on PS5, which is the system I'll eventually play on? Or do you think part of its legacy is that it will forever remain unpolished and underdeliver…Just curious what someone with more insight into this developer might provide.
Realistically it's a 90/100 game. Bugs and performance problems will be fixed, so real ratings for this game will be seen after release on new Gen.
