Pretty sure most are not happy about thisI wasn't aware they'd changed this but I'm very glad they did as it more accurately represents what CP2077 "is" rather then what it "could" be.

According to their official twitter description, it's now an "action/open world story game" and not an RPG. Take that how you will.

BIG UH OH for me...Pretty sure most are not happy about this
So cyberpunk is now not a true rpg anymore according to their twitter page and steam description....maybe that’s the reason they screwed the awesome character creator from last year and all the other stuff
I don’t even know if you can call this a character creator because now it looks more like customization.The footage from last year showed a character creator where in the end you can say....this is my own heroI liked the old way better, perhaps if the game does go more to that action/adventure genre rather than RPG then maybe it would be better to go a different route for character creation.
But I'm hoping that they do go on the route for having something closer to the 2018 Demo version.
It is a work in progress after all *even though there is only so much you can change
The game is a RPG. They changed the description on Twitter page simply because action-adventure games sell better than RPG - just marketing.
Action-adventure game can be a role play game at the same time, right?
On Polish websites, on Polish radio interview developers still advertise the game as RPG. So take it easy, relax people

Just want to point something out; that old chestnut, "They have eight months to go, so don't worry!", isn't quite true. A game that is predicted to sell huge numbers like this one has to go gold maybe two months in advance for the hard copy distribution, so it's more like six. But hold on, don't they have to turn a finished version over to the console makers to review and approve like other games? Well, let's see...a game this size, that a few weeks, maybe close to a month, so we're down to maybe five.
So if you're going to use that old reassurance, let's keep it real and get it right..."They have maybe five months to go, so don't worry!".
I agree, we must let CDPR know what we care about and share our feedback before it's too late!Exactly why I don't really like this whole "It's still a work in progress!" replies.

Is it just marketing though or is this how they would really define the game now?
Emphasis on now, because before it was called a RPG on their official page. If people bought the game expecting an action/adventure and got more of an RPG then they would probably be angry and I'd expect angry reviews, to me it doesn't seem the smartest but eh, I know nothing about marketing.
Also even if Polish radio/sites etc. say it's an RPG does that even hold much weight?
In every single interview in which they talk about the game they mention it's first and foremost an RPG and whatever else second. E3 2018, Gamescom 2018, E3 2019, Gamescom 2019. Solely by their account, it's still very much an RPG. An Action RPG, if you will.
Doom and gloom, based on what exactly ?Im pretty sure they don’t care....We won’t get a real character creator like last year and everything else stays the same too
And where can they pull 100+ hours out in a two year development cycle?
They also responded to people pointing out the twitter thing a while ago as well on this forum (you can still find the thead here). They specifically mentioned the game is still an RPG and even went so far as to respond to people asking "what an RPG means to them" with how they'd describe an RPG.I honestly don't even know much about what interviews they have done and all, I haven't followed that closely. However, if they still say it's an RPG and that's what they will keep telling people then I'll believe it. I look forward to the game anyway, it looks fun and I hope it looks as fun and cool as what was shown for the 2018 demo.
