Yeah numpad user here as well
These are very strange omissions for me so anyway, I'll rather give them a year or two to patch things up and then I'll return to the game.

While the fact that many aspects of the game where obviously rushed and could've been much better, I am still enjoying the game as it is, although every now and then I get that feeling that I shouldn't be playing it until further patches for a better experience.
[PC] Texture and object loading times is what is currently bothering me the most. If I drive too fast I see absolutely no vehicles nor pedestrians, and sometimes random cars spawn right in front of me causing me to crash. Apparently the game was designed to run on solid state drives, something I currently only use for my OS.

I'm having fun. returned my ps4 disk copy, got a full refund and bought Immortals Fenix Rising, a game that's actually playable and doesn't hard crash every 30 minutes. Now I'm still waiting 6 days for my GOG refund and then I'm taking that money somewhere else too.
I've enjoyed a fair bit of it. I'm on PC with M/KB for controls. The game looks great and runs smoothly for me at 2K/144Hz Ultra settings with RTX, DOF, MB, and CA turned off. Just made it to Act 2; wasn't too thrilled with the degree of scripted linear game play at the end of The Heist; as the double cross was all to easy to see coming, nor in the mission after The Heist----guess it's hard to avoid sometimes in a story driven SP game.
Overall I am enjoying the majority of the story.
NOT happy with the amount of cut/disabled content featured prominently in the PR run up to release. Yes, I know almost all gaming PR has a disclaimer to the effect that "not all features and content may be in the final product". Regardless; when cut/disabled content rises to the quantity of advertised features and content missing from CP................citing the disclaimer is the barest of fig leaves.
Given the amount and type of issues with performance on various platforms (including PC)------sure looks like there's some fire to go with the smoke. In fairness to CDPR---they appear to making a genuine full court press to clean up many of those so, props to them for that!
The color coded/tiered weapons are garbage. Don't know why they didn't run with a real world based system of weapon mods (e.g. longer barrels, more powerful caliber, propellant, more powerful power pack, magnets etc for the tech weapons, etc).
Our character is supposed to be a trouble shooting merc. NOT a salvage yard manager. Wwaayy too much junk collecting and inventory managament; which dove tails into the adolescent fantasy "crafting". e.g. disassembling a plastic record and clothing to come up with parts to upgrade my weapon/s stats. It's had to cutting edge when core game play mechanisms are genre tropes. Just sayin .....................
6.5 to 7 out of 10 for me.

Base X1.. 70 hours in, first playthrough.. still in Act 2.. I think my progress is 60-10-20.. Level 23 or 24, Street Cred 37 or 39 or IDK... Easily my favorite game ever made. It was already top 10 by the time I completed the prologue.. or well, Act 1. Which, IMO should still be the prologue. Female, Street Kid.. Also made Female, Nomad & Male, Corpo but only got those 2 saves to the apartment & Ripperdoc mission.. think they are both an hour in. My main playthrough I have 3 saves for and there is probably 10-15 hours I've clipped from my game and gone back to prior saves because I didn't like some experimental non-story moves I made... so, my save is at 70 hours, but I've really got around 85 hours into this particular V.
I don't get into many games, I stick to open world crime games, sports games, RTS, tactical shooters and the Cyberpunk genre.. fell in love with the Cyberpunk genre itself because of how much it allowed me to play in the Splinter Cell fashion I approach all games with. It also combines the majority of my eclectic interests which is still absolutely wild to me that there is an entire cultural entity that feels made specifically for me. This game in particular is the best Cyberpunk genre game I've played and it isn't even close.. Again it is also my favorite game of all time, at least from what I've played in the last 20-25 years.
My current V is set to 10 Body, 8 Reflexes, 6 Technical, 5 Intelligence & 14 Cool.. My plan is for 20 Body, 12 Reflexes, 18 Technical, 5 Intelligence & 16 Cool. I feel this is optimal for my play style and I doubt I will change much from this concept in future saves.. Although, I will probably go about it in a different order as I wish I prioritized Technical earlier instead of after 70 hours.
I easily see my primary V going over 225 hours. I wouldn't be surprised if I went over 300.
I'm not an outwardly emotional person by any means, many people see me as ice cold and without much feeling aside from anger, though very passionate with helping animals & children without families.. For context, I've lost over 30 very close people in the last 12 years(half of them in the last 14 months), essentially everyone I had and despite feeling great pain, borderline crippling depression as well as battling survivor's guilt & PTSD since 09(no PTSD episodes in about 13 months, only 3 in the last 3 years, was daily for the first few years... if you going through it, hang in there, you will get better), I have not cried over these losses. This game however has managed to bring up my pain water 8 times so far. I feel extremely connected to the character and those involved with V, it feels very personal to me and I really love the story and the character development. Maybe it was the right place and right time.. IDK.. But I had pondered cancelling my preorder, I am glad that I ultimately decided not to.. Even though I am playing on a base X1, I've not really encountered any bugs. I was already planning to buy a new PC this spring to tackle some college courses, but now I figure I'll go ahead and get a nice gaming system going for that and get the game on that as well as the new Xbox console when they drop the official version on that.
With the way I approach video games and my usually limited free time, I can easily see me playing just this, the occasional RTS and some sports games for the next 10-15 years. I'm also happy that for the next couple months my entire life will be nothing but working out, reading books, language learning, eating, sleeping & playing the game.
Of course, I have some opinions, but I am excited to see what they bring to the game moving forward and I hope they carry this into a full series. I'm very grateful & thankful for everyone who worked on this game and Mike Pondsmith & his people that created this universe. It's disappointing to see the controversy & fumbling over the launch and some player reaction. I'm hopeful this all gets figured out soon.

Yes. I spent 150 hours with first playthrough. I had a better experience than most as I've been a fan of the ttrpg Cyberpunk 2020. So I appreciated the story immensely. I know some mission paths cut the story short, one mission thread I had on my corpo v wasn't available in my streetkid v due to one earlier choice. That choice skipped a few hours of play and a story that was very touching.
I wished CDPR waited to release to console as this destroyed the company's and game's rep.

I can't dude. I spent 1 hour choosing between penis 1 or penis 2 only to find out that I can't even see it in-game. Then I spent 1h in the prologue which looked promising only to find out later on that this game is mediocre.
I paid for this game so I have to have fun now.
The main story seems fine. If only they would stop giving players a sense of false urgency, right? Like they did in The Witcher 3 too. What it lacks is a proper introduction and character-building cause this game feels like a sequel. I would like to get to know Jackie, T-Bug, and other people that keep constantly calling me for whatever reason. I can't care about them because I don't even know them.
I don't like the side content. It just boils down to people that I don't know calling me on my phone and asking me to do dirty work for them. Like, who are you, people? Why do you think I even care? Alas, I don't have an option to refuse nor decline their call. So my map is filled with a bunch of quest markers. Most of those markers are cars for sale. The game is just throwing meaningless stuff at me. Changing the way that I get those gigs and quests could potentially fix that problem for me. How about instead of you calling me, you send me a message with some details and if I feel like doing that I'll call you? Deal? Or, if I feel like that I need some money, I log into my computer and check my email. I liked quests with a personal touch. Delamain quests for example.
I had to restart the game after a couple of hours because I chose the Corpo lifepath the first time and it didn't make any sense to me. You don't even have that privilege of meeting Jackie for the first time. And all of a sudden you become a street kid.
What's with all the dialogue options that change only the next line of dialogue and press F to pay respect moments?
This. When I get that ending screen I'm out of here.

It saddened me to no end. The city is beautiful but barren. The story have great moment but a terrible pacing and rushed out of the window. Rpg mechanics are so bland to be downright embarassing for a game that was supposed to be and rpg open world. Customization is a joke. CC is a joke. The only things this game shines on is on ther artistic department everything else is dull gamey uninspiring and rushed.
The city like i said is beautiful but is just a fancy movie set with no interaction different from pew pew pew

I think two things will be considered here, or that have been mentioned here:
Those who liked the game and those who didn't like the game. Of course, I'm speculating. But I believe that CDPR will increase the general mechanics of the game, polish what should be polished and, there will be, I also have this conviction, new things, perhaps demanded by the community. They will also respect those who played the campaign, side quests, etc. and have in their saves logs, their previous life in the game.
I have to say i dislike the game however i am not completely blind there are things i Love about the game. Like the art.. Some of the characters and some of the storylines. My problem is there is a lot that i dislike and also those things are the things cdpr marketing LIED about.
But i don't want to burn the whole cd projekt red down. ((Even if i admit i would give the management a little slap..As they deserve it of course not hostility intended!)) I want to see this game improved and in the end live up to the expectations. Maybe not now. Maybe not tomorrow. Maybe will take time. But i want to see this game shine as at the moment it don't and is in a pathetic state. And no glitches and optimizations are a whole separate issue.
I think this beautiful Night City deserves far more than the little i got. That's it.
