Cyberpunk's length reminds me of something like Baldurs gate 2 which is one of my all time favorite games it had 20 hours main story which is very short for an RPG but it made up for it with some of the best and most well designed side content in any game
Without getting into spoilers i did enjoy the main story of Cyberpunk and there are alot of highs that makes it more than worth to play but at the end i just didnt feel satisfied alot of story arcs just finish out of nowhere and the pacing was just moving way too fast for its own good ,when they said the story is "Slightly shorter" i was hoping for 40 which is more than perfect but sadly thats not the case ,yes The Witcher 3 was bloated in some areas but overall it left me satisfied
im interested to hear some opposite opinions of mine i didnt 100% everything yet anyway il break down the side activities activities and compare some of them to the ones in the witcher 3
-Side stories in Cyberpunk were phenomenal and enjoyed pretty much all of the ones i did so far they do expand on the main story in a good way but there arent that many of them sadly especilaly compared to gigs if the game had more of them then it would have made up for the short story but sadly thats not the case
-Gigs is a little bit of a mixed bag for me ,some of them are amazing and more than worth doing but the others are generic kill/steal quests they are not bad just kinda generic i really wish i got most of the quests from other NPCs than just fixers telling me what to do then sending me a big ass wall of texts overall gigs are good but not that great
-Racing in this game is done far better than the ones in the witcher 3 but the witcher 3 had more quantity in this regard
-bandit camps in this game are done far better in this game since each one had its own unique stories compared to most bandit camps in the witcher 3
-Cyberpsychos are mostly decent but i much prefer the monster hunts in the witcher 3 for so many reasons ,i really wish they didnt rely that much on text/environmental storytelling when it comes to Cyberpsychos and ffs i wish fixers were not involved at all.
-Fist fighting i have not finished them all yet but in the witcher 3 it had way more quantity compared to this game where it only had 5 in total and its really hard to top Champion of Champions but we'll see
-and finally Mini Games which this game has NONE while the witcher 3 had gwent which is the perfect break from all the killing and drama ,its a very enjoyable mini game with interesting side quests connected to it ,it was positively received and the fact that they didnt include any minigames is beyond me
Overall while i did Enjoy Cyberpunk as a game and its main story ,side stories and some of the gigs i just felt that it could have offered more not only in terms of its main story but even side content as well ,I wouldnt mind the short story only if they have given us more of the top tier side quests that we got with the side stories instead of giving us more Gigs and Bandit camps ,on the other hand The Witcher 3 not only managed to tell a long story but at the same time have great side content that are imo even better than the ones in this game overall.
im just wondering what do you guys think? do you like the fact that the main story is shorter? did the side content make up for it ? which side content did you prefer this games or the ones from The Witcher 3?
