But the game appears to be an action RPG which is still unlike what RPG elements some have suggested. Either way, its still make for a great game regardless, as I expect 2077 to be an action RPG.
Even as an action RPG, I like how each of the character roles in Bloodlines has very specific traits, skills and characteristics. Especially playing as the nosferatu which is the outcast of society and changes how the world perceives the player as well as gameplay options. Not many games really let you play a fully realized bad guy. I can certainly see how Cyberpunk roles could be very different in terms of gameplay as well as how becoming an enemy of the world as it reacts to the player. Among many other things.
It's a traditional RPG disguised as an action RPG, that's the thing I like about it. Combat is still based on dice rolls, it's just that players can manually aim and fire, it's not turn-based or anything like that. Firing a bullet at an enemy is instant and somewhat based on aim (If you aren't even aiming at someone you're going to miss no matter what), but your weapon skill and dice roll ultimately determines the outcome. It's the perfect way to merge action RPG and traditional RPG. I have Su to thank for getting into it, never would have looked at it twice otherwise.
Action RPG fans have to take a moment to get used to it, but they simply pump skill points into weapon skills and voila.

I have had disscusions with many poeple like you and they seem to have a view of their style of RPG is the best or True version. Which is just bs imo. As i said they are many type of RPGs. Just becuse i'm not that into JRPGs i don't go around saying they arent true RPGs.
I have played Vampire: The Masquerade. I heard KOTOR is really good as well. But CDPR have a way of making RPGs just like many other companies have their way of making them. There many type of RPGs and i think that's a good thing.
No worries. I don't think my personal preference trumps anyone else's. You're right that a lot of people throughout the internet hold that point of view, though. The one and only point I was making is this: Action RPGs are a dime a dozen. They are everywhere. Bioware makes them, CDPR makes them, Bethesda makes them... If that is the type of game you want to play, you already have so many of them to choose from.
Traditional RPGs with other modern gameplay elements (open world, attractive 3D graphics, vehicles, etc.)... are basically non existent. If you're looking for just such a game, you are starved for choice because there's nothing. CDPR is in a unique place here. They can absolutely go the VTMB route if they wanted to, merging the two styles of RPG into something that can satisfy both sides.
