I'm really surprised that a voice modulator isn't apart of the default Cyberware. Why is the Animal Club only allowed to have a voice filter.
The nudity is weirdest for me. I don't need nudity in a game wouldn't think anything of having either more or less in this one, it's just the incongruity that confuses me. You can customise your penis and breasts in the CC but also, prostitutes keep their bras on during sex?
I think what's missing is a CDPR that has integrity. They are being completely mute about all of the cut content and the change of target from RPG to Action Adventure is shocking. On top of this, they are removing the nudity. What does this say to me? That they have sold out. Management has decided to throw this one in the budget bin for thirteen year old kiddies to get all wet over. It wouldn't surprise me if its rating was revised in the future.
This is a pure evil. The game has so much potential. Unless we hear about them fixing the RPG elements, I think the game may never be properly realised.
If we were working with an honest CDPR, they would have announced, up-front, at least six months ago what was intended for release or would have simply pulled the release altogether for a year. The game has already become only about money. I fear it has already died.

Honeslty, this list doesn't even bother me that much now. Most of these features are irrelevant or up to subjective opinion if they should stay. I would only name three things that are - in my opinion - objectively worse in the final version and they also damaged roleplaying aspect of this game.
1) Immersion. Entire point of first person locked view, ( which I like btw ) was to make me feel that V is me, and I am V. Immersion was the word on constant repeat through all these years. Oopsie, I never got the feeling that I can roleplay V, no matter how I'll try ( and I am pathetic roleplayer ). Decision making is flawed and V has predefined personality no matter our gender, sexuality, lifepaths or what wel choose to say. Final version of how much impact we have on our V is very flawed.
2) Cutscenes. I believe it was bad decision to get rid of all cutscenes. Thanks to them we would care how our V look like, or what is wearing. Little thing that adds so much immersion to our personal preferences.
3) Apartment\Romances\Sex. V's apartment is lame and pointless. It doesn't influence V lifestyle, potential romances or even any sort of involvement with other NPC's - like even someone knocking to our doors to talk in the middle of the night. It's just empty shell with few random activities. Let's take the shower shall we ? CLICK...

The way I see it right now...
I believe we need roadmap of fixes, performance improvements and missing features to be implemented so people know what to expect from the game. As is right now, we don't know which way the game is headed at all. Many advertised features aren't present.
Most people I talked to expected, according to what was advertised and hyped: an open world with the quality of GTA V but with as many side activities as something like Shenmue and Yakuza, a modern Deus Ex gameplay with Witcher 3 writing and side quest quality, plus using the CP2020/RED ruleset and character skills and progression system focusing the whole experience more into RPG territory, all with a cyberpunk non censored attitude. That to my eyes would be exactly what was advertised and something really, really, close to a perfect cyberpunk themed game. I do believe most costumers indeed expected exactly that, and with good reason.
What do you people think?

I'm really curious about what is going to be released in the next two "bigger" patches that we'll get in January and February...
I don't feel like I got a game that was worth the premium price. I wonder if they can could have squeezed more into 1.05... Little things are going to make the difference.
One thing they could do right now is change the audio in the apartment from the radio so I can get it pumping like he has an Atmos setup like I do. Minimap and map fixes would be welcomed.
Another thing would be to add hair, tattoo, nails, clothing all that stuff to an improved vendor system.

Was what i receive. ty CD. (but, yes, we can suggest things).
Yep, at the end of the day I feel scammed for paying premium price for what is left: an average game.
They said, "working as intended" when there were obvious bugs like Obi Wan, "this isn't the game you're looking for".
I can only think CDPR have lost integrity. They knew the state they were in with it a long time ago.
Ive been playing for 120 hours now I've not gone back to the apartment except for missions where Im supposed to. Theres absolutely no reason to. It doesn't help that I can carry a supermarket's worth of food, a bars worth of alcohol, a clothing stores worth of clothing and a gun shops worth of guns.
If there was as physical size limit to how much stuff you could carry beyond the weight restriction you would have to store things like components mods and clothes at your apartment, at least giving you a reason to go there
I agree that the carry weight allows you to carry an awful lot... I don't know how they'd implement anything else, though.
You can't use the components out of your stash when crafting, as far as I know. I think the inventory management and crafting stuff should be overhauled and allow us to do more from the stash menus.
Now that I think about it ... wouldn't it be better to focus on the things that they can add than on all the things that they cut? An improvement of the game ai, that the city becomes more alive, that there are more things to do in the city or be able to interact more with the npc, the drinking animations, add more joytoys, be able to dance everywhere in the that there is music, more interactions and content for the romances, that all the hair is available for both V, two bisexual romances, the character creator during the game and remove the censorship to V except in photo mode ... This does not seem so hard to add.
All of what you said is the stuff that ended up on the cutting room floor. Do I even dare mention how ridiculous censoring the game because of photo mode is? I wonder....
This isn't about what can be added, this stuff was touted as being the reason to buy the game in the first place!
