Yeah I actually think V should have gone harder in one direction or another. I got the same try-hard vibe. Like be a dirt bag mercenary fighting for absolution or w/e or a mature person that knows that they are on their way out, but just BE SOMETHING. V was often sitting on the fence while acting like they're some kina alpha. Just felt very inconsistent and passive in the story.Everything that comes out of V's mouth is like a little kid trying to be hard, it's cringey at best and bad writing at worst.
All my opinion of course.
Maybe if we had got to play the montage with Jackie I would of felt more of a connection with V but alas we didn't and I don't.
I though cyberpunk was a future retro dystopian vibe, not tampon guns and sex sounds but no nudity and swearing for no reason other than edgy.
Considering CDPR changed the game from RPG to action adventure I would have to disagree. You can choose and choose throughout the game but V still dies in the end essentially nullifying all choices in my opinion.CP2077 is by every definition an "true" RPG, its just not playing to features you want that other RPGs have, or don't like as much. There are choices in this game, and they do affect what ways through the ending you have. Full Stop. If you choose not to engage with certain characters, you wont be able to play out Act 3 certain ways.
The magnitude of choice/consequence and narrative decisions is not a requirement of what an RPG is. Final Fantasy has almost never had choice/consequence and we still consider those RPGs.
V is a deuteragonist, that doesn't discount it from being an RPG, either. That s a creative choice in the narrative (which frankly I flippin' love.)
Here's a pretty basic overview of what constitutes an video game RPG: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Role-playing_video_game

Well the last weeks of marketing they sure did change it to action adventure. Maybe they should make up their minds. Is this an RPG or action adventure? Are we playing V or Johnny Silverhand? Maybe if they had some clear directions, the game would not be in such a state.It still states CP2077 as RPG on GOG Galaxy and Steam
No they did not change anything, here is a fresh screenshot of my GOG as we speakWell the last weeks of marketing they sure did change it to action adventure.
Not going to argue about it. They were calling it an action adventure because plenty of people were talking about the change.No they did not change anything, here is a fresh screenshot of my GOG as we speak

I don't think they can change anything anymore, they were advertising it as RPG since 2018, so the official stores still state it as, but yeah I agree it's now far from being a true RPG
Yes Action adventure, but it also still says RPG as on GOG store it clearly says Role Playing so they didn't change anything, it's still there.If you read in the description you just posted. It even says "Cyberpunk 2077 is an open world, action adventure story set in Night City."
Frankly RPG in the popular user tag and "action roleplaying" in their "details" is a weak comparison to how they actually described the game. This is just making search for the game easier or even misleading to an extent. Why didn't they just say open world RPG when describing their game? I find it strange they would call it an action adventure and then sneak roleplaying in the details. Sort of like how they told us the game was functioning on all platforms properly. Like I said, I don't want to argue about it. We can agree to disagree and move on.Yes Action adventure, but it also still says RPG as on GOG store it clearly says Role Playing so they didn't change anything, it's still there.
I know I agree with you, it's just to many websites still state it as RPG even wikipedia or the description of CP2077 websiteFrankly RPG in the popular user tag and "action roleplaying" in their "details" is a weak comparison to how they actually described the game.

In conversation, my (streetkid, as if it matters) V often irritated me in how smugly ignorant her responses were in some situations, and how self-righteous she could be at other times.
Oh my god agreed, V was at her best around Goro. Thier odd couple "and what about you" routine was my favorite part of the game. It worked for her and Goro both to lack self-awareness. The sinnerman quest was some full-on black mirror stuff and yes I have to agree those are good examples to the contrary of what I was saying. V being treated with disrespect by everyone but the convict really helped drive home that she is transparently a shady merc to those around her. I was not thinking of these moments when I said what I did.It's funny because I completely agree but that's one of the things I love about V (Streetkid specifically, though I only played the prologues of the other paths). They can be quite deep and kind and see through the bullshit compared to other characters, especially considering the raging consumerism and alienation in NC (the Sinnerman quest and Clouds storyline come to mind). At the same time they're still a product of their environment and can be quite hypocritical, like when talking to Goro.
Sounds to me that at least someone in their ranks had some foresight.Well the last weeks of marketing they sure did change it to action adventure. Maybe they should make up their minds. Is this an RPG or action adventure? Are we playing V or Johnny Silverhand? Maybe if they had some clear directions, the game would not be in such a state.
