I'm intentionally going to try to do a very small amount of introductory missions, and then I'm going to try to immerse myself in the game world and ignore missions for as long as I can, and just try to mess around and have fun and explore, then maybe I will do one more main mission, and then do a bunch of appropriate side missions, and then take another break and explore the world a bunch more, and do more fun things and then eventually do another main mission, and then a bunch more side missions. I'm going to pretend my V is a real person, and treat the whole thing like V is just chilling out and taking their sweet time just enjoying life and doing whatever they feel like. Exploration, Training, Exercise, Food, Driving around, all kinds of stuff. I'm thinking maybe I will really try to sprinkle the missions about, and spread them out as much as possible, unless they really catch my interest a lot, and I feel like just doing one after the other after the other.
In W3 I personally felt that the main missions gave me lots of inconsistent feelings, and I keep feeling different opinions about them, almost changing my mind a bit every time I think back to them, but also consistent in other ways. It's difficult to say. I mean, the main W3 missions felt very long, very drawn out, but also very quiet, very boring and empty for me. Depressing even, I don't know. There were very cool moments, but also a huge amount of the time I found myself wishing I wasn't doing what the game was making me do. It felt like a big trek through mud because I guess maybe I wasn't really enjoying it as much as I had thought I was. With that being said, I felt W3's main story missions were surprisingly short. When I got to the end of the main missions, I was like..... What...? WHAT? really?
I don't mind at all if Cyberpunk2077 feels very long, as long as it doesn't stop being fun. The missions can be very long too, but I don't like it when things get slow and quiet, not to say I don't appreciate being sneaky or other stuff, but W3 had this very slow and quiet and depressing feel to it that I remember more and more when I think back. It just felt dark and quiet and slow and empty and depressing. I'm not really sure how to describe it better.
I know cyber PUNK will have some "depressing" mixed in, but maybe not in a bad way. hopefully. I don't mind if I have to slowly sneak quietly through a dark and depressing air vent and hack some bad guys computer in cyberpunk2077, that's totally cool, but I always want things to be exciting you know? Maybe W3 didn't have the right music and lighting to keep it exciting. That's it! I mean, like, atmospherically, W3 made me feel not good. Cyberpunk2077 looks like they nailed the atmosphere perfectly, so maybe it will never be an issue.
I do worry, if they say cyberpunk2077 main missions are less overall time and shorter than W3, and if I felt W3 was short in terms of main missions, then cyberpunk might feel extremely short to me, but then some people say there will be many more side missions, character romances, etc. in that case, I don't necessarily need tons of missions ( although tons of missions is good if they can have QUALITY, and still quantity somehow, if they manage that cool, but quality is always better and CDPR are really good, and they know their stuff, and they know quality) if I can get immersed into the world of cyberpunk and have lots of fun just interacting with everyone and everything.
