As good as Cyberpunk 2077 will be, it also has its drawbacks.
- Shorter main story than The Witcher 3
- Small Map
- No Subway System
- Can't use the Flathead as a companion
- Only 29 base model vehicles
- Third Person Cutscenes are almost non-existent
- No Wall Running
- No Car Customization
I'll add more missing content if I think of any. Are you disappointed with these missing features? I am but Cyberpunk 2077 will still be a great game nonetheless.
I do miss the ability to fly cars. And drive the subway - that was a thing. I wanted to go cyberpsycho - never done that in the PnP, because it's character death, but you know! I also wanted all 3,000 separate cyberware items.
Oh and all the PnP stats and skills - even geology. Also wanted SCUBA.
Jet packs would have been fun. And lightsabers! Actually serious-ish, I love lightsabers, but they aren't Cyberpunk.
Not only the Flathead, I thought we'd have a full pet class! And, I wanted the Holy Trinity to be in play - DPS, Tank, Shaman.
Oh and included PvP Co Op multiplayer.
To drive tanks and jets. And have a full 5-person party. And turn-based combat! That was a Cyberpunk thing!
They kinda promised we'd be able to play our 2077 characters in the tabletop...or maybe that was more a hope than a promise.
I think they cut remote-controlled cyberpreds? I mean, I don't think they did, but for sure they aren't in the game but -are- in Cyberpunk!
Ciri! Right? Ciri! And Geralt!
I wanted less sidequests, actually. They have more than W3, and that bothers me. I consider that a cut feature. More main game, less side quests, thanks!
I didn't want to go up buildings - Witcher 3 had no verticality, why does Cyberpunk?
Magic. I love me some magic. 2077 needs magic.
I wanted to add multiple cyberarms. It's a Cyberpunk staple, but not in 2077? Obviously cut.
Why -can't- I run a MegaCorp or join the cops? Disappointing. Also Roles. Rockerboy, Media, Corporate. My 2077 game should let me run a rockband. They did talk about that 7 or 8 years ago.
More rain. I said it. More rain. And snow. Witcher 3 had these, Night City needs snow. I was promised a robust weathert system! Multiple apartments!
And so on.
Lot of years of people hoping and wanting and guessing. Development means some things never make it past the idea stage and others are nearly ready, but get chopped as they simply don't work.
