This will be very difficult on something like the RedEngine. its not a mod friendly engine like Skyrim or fallouts,I'm hoping a year or two down the line with many patches and cut features brought back (and a 100 mods on top) it will be a lot more like a CDPR game.

Modders are a resourceful bunch, W3 still had thousands of mods. And honestly, I'll take any improvement I can get.
Yeah i feel that, heres hoping. just sad that it has for the most part come down to modders to save the day. always makes me happy when you hear about gifted ones scoring jobs with game devs
Still listed as action roleplaying scifi on GOG tho. Doubt even CDPR know what it is tbh..
clearly you've missed all the marketing and even the devs themselves saying "Cyberpunk is first and foremost, an RPG"
It was listed as an RPG for ages until it was changed to "Action and adventure". now we know why
I know what they said before launch, I just want to point out that it's not RPG - it lacks a lot of role-playing mechanics
On that we can agree. its just a shame they pushed heavy marketing of it being one
In terms of different builds it seems fine if not simple. I'm going for a cool stealth build that crits almost every shot and it seems to be working well. I heard some people are just brute forcing with strength and guns, while others are abusing the game with hacking. But in terms of character creation and choices, this game seems lacking imo. I think the only real choices are with the few side characters. By these I mean Judy, Panam, and Rivers. The only thing I've seem by previous choice impact me is when we fight with maelstrom in the beginning. All of my interactions with maelstrom later on always turned hostile, because they remembered when I killed Royce. Other than that I haven't seen my choices impact the story in large. This is a shame because the Witcher 3 had so many consequences even to things that seemed minor. To preferance this, I am 95% through the main story and have done a ton of side quests.
CP2077 has a good framework. At present,the combar system is quite good,but other game content is a little single. Hope CDPR complete it as soon as possible.
The biggest let down by far to me is still the lack of costumizations while creating the character and ingame. I mean while i watched the world I thought you surely can look like a maelstrom guy or an animal gangmember or like adam smasher. why would the developers put so many cool looking things in the game if you the player cant do that? And i cant even change body types? You have a handful of tattoo and piercing and body mod options. You also cant have robot limbs like why would you skip that option? I see a vast vast variation of npc body types and modifications but i the player in an rpg cannot do that. Was setting my nails length having a nipple on off or costumizing my genital(barely any options anyways) that essential while i cannot cahnge my body type or height. Its pretty disappointing when ea fight games have more costumization options. Its like if in sea of thieves you would see all the cool character features but well that tattoo pegleg hook or eyepatch is actaully only on npc s sorry mate. I really enjoy the game otherwise but this is the thing that bugs me the most about it. I hope really hope that they will make a dlc like gta san andreas at least where you can get fat gain muscle, have tattoo places and hairdressers.
i just love that the only example people can think of when mentioning a mission with choice, is the Maesltrom one, and that happens to be the one that was marketed so heavily for having multiple paths and "7 different outcomes!!!!"
This is the exact same case on the Official reddit too.
At this stage it makes things seem as though the legitimately did throw one of everything in just to say the game has it for marketing purposes.
nice one thumbs up for the post!
In addition to your post, if we can have:
1. Monowire strangle kill + melee weapons stealth kill animation
2. More of the maxtac and trauma team arriving scene live on gameplay (not cutscenes) and total rework of police AI and how they intervene etc...
3. NPC or enemies reaction to our Street Cred and the choices we made
I will consider pre-order on the next CDPR game if they did rework all that the community mention....
theres a difference between having RPG elements and being an RPG, this game was slated to be "First and foremost, an RPG" direct from the devs. simple as that.
As for Mass effect, it handles choice and concequences extraordinarily well. even for a game that has a mostly set narrative. there is weight in your decisions. event he character creator is more expansive in some regards.
as for TW3, it has RPG elements but its not a true RPG like games such as Skyrim, Fallout, Kingdom Come etc. and as i was saying, thats what this game was being marketed as.
Thanks mate. ive already listed Melee kills/finisher animations. it was one of my disappointments also. also did mention the Police Ai but i do see what you mean about Maxtac playing a bigger role, alot of other people expected this aswell, ill go back over the initial post and if i didnt mention it, ill add it for sure.
Perfect on that last one. i think i mentioned something similar but you put it very well and ive discussed some of this on some Reddit post. even games like Fallout, NPC's reacted to your Karma level and wether or not you were a nice individual or not.
in a city where youre supposed to make a name for yourself and even have a "Street rep" metre... there is no in world/dynamic reflection of this even with gangs, who should really be after a while absolutely terrified of you because of your legend... they arent.
All of them are usually described as "action role-playing game" in various media. Devs might have a different definition of RPG from yours, so it doesn't make them liars on this basis alone. Doesn't mean they didn't over-promise, but it's not really the question of "RPG or not RPG".
