I agree partially with you, eladrius. I, too, avoided the hype, only saw one early trailer (I hate spoilers, that's why I don't watch them) and pre-ordered it (a first for me).
There's a ton of thing I really love about this game, graphics, the world design per se, many of the NPCs' design, part of the plot,..., some things that just don' t bother me, like many of the bugs (I'm a Vampire Bloodlines gal, I know about playing and loving a raw, buggy game), repetitive missions and so on, but just three things I really hate (and I don't see how any of them could be fixed). That's
1) I bought the game at a time when it was described as RPG. As someone, who plays tabletop Cyberpunk for 20+ years I was especially curious and happy about this. And let's be honest: There's nothing really RPGamy about CP2077. Backgrounds don't matter, ingame behaviour doesn't matter, nothing is really ready for a RP-interaction, there are no NPCs or objects to freely interact with, nothing is customizable, you can't even sit down, and the world feels pretty lonely and empty because of these aspects.
2) I love Keanu Reeves, but the dimensions of Johnny Silverhand's role is super annoying and totally blown out of proportion. The game was supposed to be about V, but it ended up being about JS, with V being nothing but a puppet, JS's hand buried deep in their bleep. And that wouldn't be so bad if JS wasn't one of the most stereotypical, flat, two-dimensional characters. No real development, just the same angry, fed-up attitude from start to finish.
3) The endings are bs. To have 6 (or 7?) different endings, and it totally doesn't matter (like any other "choice" you made before) which one you chose, because it always leads to you choosing between plague or pestilence.
Until May I had spent 1589h ingame, and about 1000 hours have been driving around, listening to the radio, parcouring everywhere I could get and trying to get as much of the game done without starting The Heist, and I haven't logged in since. It's a nice game, but as it is, there's not much need for me to re-play it.
I'm going to wait for any real, game relevant updates and DLC, or for the release of Vigilance 2099.
