This is the multiplayer I DON'T want. Granted a few times it has been done right (Mass Effect 3) I want the immersion CDPR is famous for, in the coop- even if it's just freeroaming w/1 friend, or lobbying up, and waiting in my own game, prepping solo until host launches mission, and my character w/all my bells and whistles joins their campaign. I don't want a hackjob coop minigame.
(Also referring to what you quoted)
I agree fully. This is not a multiplayer I'd like to see if it was just that. Yeah sure it's maybe fun a bit but it gets stale for not just a few.
I generally do not play such gamemodes where you have a limited map and then have to kill the other team or do some objectives. I understand it's popular among others and there's whole leagues about it. I'm not saying it's "wrong", just not the preference of everyone. To me it's repetitive, always the same, no long-term changes other than you perhaps getting better, while the scope of the world is limited to small maps.
I'd rather have it so you can explore the normal game world together with others or maybe fight against them in there. I like COOP or something similar for such RPGs more than matches on small maps.
If you throw those in in addition, I won't mind. If it's just them, I'd go "meh".
If they ever add something like COOP with a bunch of others or even just 1-2, I'll throw money at them. That's what at least some people would like to see. If it is easy to implement, I don't know. You'd also have to perhaps detach it from main story missions or change it all again, otherwise it might be tricky especially if it's a first-person based game where some situations depend on the protagonist being in a certain pose or so where a second (player) actor might not be integrated into the scene.
It would be fine if you could just do other things not being part of the story or perhaps where you could do story missions where a player can replace a companion, while other missions are locked for "coop".
And it would, to me, still be fine if you can play together while story missions are locked, assuming there is sufficient side secondary and tertiary content and activities you can do.
Multiplayer in such a world (and rather FPS, not MMORPG based)? Lord, many people would want to play it.
Maybe something to consider for future titles in that CP setting, if this won't be a thing for CP2077.
