Watching videos made game feel meh to you.
Look, no offence but some bridges are too far.
I partially agree with both of you, Yes there are some glitches. Yes there was content taken out/cut. But I have spent 200 hours in the game on my first playthrough and despite those issues. I really enjoyed the game. I really enjoyed the crafting, I really enjoyed the story and the exploration.
Yes it had/has big issues. But i was able to get round some of them, mod in some other solutions to help and generally enjoy the game.
Now I am on my second playthrough as corpo. I know much more about skills and decided to try a diffferent playstyle this time through. I still hate the menu system, especially when disassembling guns, it can get really messed up. the inventory doesnt always move in the directory you expect it to. I hate when the mission vid calls glitche out, I do really hate the ai in the game. To top it off the loot system is just overloaded far too much. Add to that the huge gaps and unusued space in the game you are right it really does suck in places. I have noticed the bugs more this time round since the last patch was put in place.
For me the ending was completely ruined by my character bugging out and doing the final mission in his underwear. (bugged over his netrunner costume). It was immersion breaking. The ultrawide lack of support didnt help, but mostly its fixable.
I still think their comittment to quality statement was more pr bs than anything, i was one of the lucky ones graphically game wise, I have very few glitches. Shame I had to mod the game to counter some of the shortcomings of the game. Had they had more time to fix these issues, the game would have done much better.
I still enjoyed the game though. the bugs were not enough to put me off. I love cyberpunk style games and this was the biggest yet.
