I'm interested in this game from the open-world, sand-box etc perspective. Never really played GTA, Watchdogs, etc for their own sake, always to be the interest was being able to explore a modern city and town center/metroplex and walk and drive around in it... I would say as a child it was midtown madness that got me started into this broad genre of cruising around the city etc...
So to that end, CP2077 is definitely the latest and greatest to join the club... but to be honest from my own individual perspective I couldn't care less about the whole "cyberpunk" lore and really am into this just from the perspective of being able to explore a city come to alive
The most perfect ideal game of this genre of urban city explorer would be one that was completely redesigned and re-imagined from scratch... a large modern international airport (see Beijing DaXing) at the heart of the city that is connected by hyperloop or other high speed train/mono direct to the business city center (CBD), where skyscrapers abound and each and every one of the buildings are enter-able and with elevators that take you to all of the hundreds of stories and all rooms are real and can be explored... and above and under ground mass transportation that connects both the city center and the airport to a large world class theme park the likes of DisneyWorld of Orlando, Florida with resorts and hotels such as the new and old Bay Lake Towers and other futuristic hotel resort building/arch styles.... and all of this connected to a nearby large mall, the size of Mall of America or large, with fancy five star dining, five star hotels also both inside and connected to the hotel via tunnels...
Basically an international airport, large mall, town center, hotel/resort, theme park, business downtown district, etc all interconnected together in one nexus and the ability to explore a city that contains the likes of NYC, DisneyWorld, Six Flags, hyperloop, maglev trains, international airports, etc etc all in one giant map...
And the city is "in the cloud" kinda like the Google Stadia concept, so that it is a perpetual city, everyone plays in this fused "online city" and its all rendered in a massive datacenter and the city will be fully alive because every NPC is actually another person / online player and its the city that never sleeps because each character is "real" and there is permanence and persistence to this city not like how with all games including cp2077 characters are spawn into action and despawned and this is very 'fake'... with game streaming there is no upper bound to the number of connected online players at one time, can be millions or billions, and everyone can play on any device or form factor and it can still have 4k and RTX and all that jazz... it also means the city can be arbitrarily large... just like how with the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 it streams in land as the aircraft flys over it in real-time on-the-fly, because the Flight Simulator is 2Petabytes large and there is no way anyone's gaming harddrive can fit that data etc much like in the same fashion this megacity can be exobytes in size and it wouldn't matter because its all streamed across the network making end-point devices nothing but dummy terminals as the backend is all in the cloud and there is functionally no limit to how large /dense the city can be... imagine every room of every floor of every building in the entire city unique, customized by someone real, (another player) not just procedurally generated bland copy paste templates... imagine overhearing conversations that actually are alive because they really are representative of real people having real conversations instead of the canned audio that we get in games today.
