Having pre-ordered the game and playing since launch I've had several conversations with players who have both been pleased and some not so pleased with the current state of the game. I wanted to create this post because I feel It's quite easy for all the good to get lost in all the madness so if nothing else I definitely wanted to be one of the voices to show appreciation to the devs for the world they created. It's often the things that you don't get right that are highlighted more than the things that you do and at the end of the day the devs are people like everyone else. And just to be clear I'm very critical of them, mostly on the gwent side of things so if I felt they fell short here then I would not hesitate to say so.
So my heartfelt thanks to the devs for the hard work they have put into this, especially in light of a pandemic raging across the globe for most of the year. I know this could not have been an easy task to accomplish. I've been following this game for a while not so much because of their Witcher 3 titles but because of the cyberpunk element, that for me, shaped my childhood (probably too much lol). I've played similar games and I see a lot of contrasts being drawn with this one. Deus Ex was futuristic, not cyberpunk and I feel that may be where many players became confused when they draw comparisons. There is a distinction between the two. It's also not GTA, nor should it strive to be. As a long time fan of the genre from graphic novels to animation, films and tv the cyberpunk genre has rarely been done right in recent years and in gaming I would argue it never has. This however is the closest incarnation and the most accurate and I couldn't be happier. I'm looking forward to what future expansion will look like and even multiplayer, something that I don't normally care for.
Thanks again CDPR, keep up the great work. I acknowledge that there are areas that need to be refined and I have every confidence that you will continue to live up to our expectations.
