I have always relied on Blade Runner and books, but i remember that this is just a game, it is not dystopian at all, there is no trace of pollution, a sky that is too clear and clean, there is no sense of oppression and above all it is lacking.
The jargon of the characters that should characterize a Cyberpunk society, since it should be characterized and centered by their stories, everything is missing here, the soundtracks are pity, where is the Synthwave music?
Did you really believe that the presence of Keanu Reaves would save this title? apart from the fact that throughout the game it's like having a thorn in the ass and after a while it gets tiring always having it in the middle of your feet, his jargon is identical to when he plays in any movie, nothing different, i wonder if CDPR have never read any books or seen the real old movies about the cyberpunk genre and how this society should be represented.
What is this game?
A simple shooter with a few skyscrapers and 80's aesthetic cars, some people should first learn what the cyberpunk genre is!
Side missions lead nowhere, everything is the same, this title cannot be fixed in any way.
Silverhand is actually one of the worst things in the game.
Everything, and i mean everything involves him after you get the chip and the the entire mission becomes about him.
Even in the endings, the only one where V's body can continue living is by giving it to Silverhand killing V.
He completely killed the game, the game is at its best pre chip, imagine what the game could have been, a true RPG without, Johnny basically pulling a hostile takeover on your own body and hijacking the entire plot.
Rebooted the entire plot, to make him the central focus, thereby ruining this game.
The only thing that can be fixed are the billions of bugs and this will not be enough to save the title, not even the AI can be repaired because it should be redone from scratch, this title is a prototype, all non-player characters are identical, of the zombies walking without any expression, yet it was said that each neighborhood would have different behaviors based on the various ethnic groups, in practice a different jargon and this is how it should be, instead the dialogues are just a false impression and do not change the choices because whatever you do there is only one solution.
Impossible to save this title because is totally different from cyberpunk culture.
