An option would be nice. But if I am going to be bloody honest here, I don't miss it, even learned to drive around in first person. It would be prefered to have an FoV slider so I can atleast choose to have a better field of view.
I play with 100 FoV and it still doesn't feel far enough back.
I fail to see why it would, given that the multiplayer would be a secondary priority. Or tertiary, or not even that...
Also with that logic all multiplayers with shooting mechanics, as only a part of the gameplay, would be in 1st person. Fortunately it is not.
That's true. But for an action rpg that doesn't restrict itself to shooting mechanics and aims to please the whole world, it's still a poor decision to ignore it. I'm sure many agree with that.
Those conversations, few as they are, doesn't justify the restriction.
The +15 year old splintercell games let you crawl through airducts in 3rd person just fine. It's not perfect, but sure it's not impossible.

I've been very doubtful of how they would manage 1st person for Cyberpunk for a very long time. I play essentially 3rd person games, be it Action Adventure or RPGs, so it wasn't even remotely compatible in my head to play such a game in 1st person.
After more than 100 hours on Cyberpunk, I'm glad I was so wrong. In my opinion they handled it amazingly well. The game is so immersive thanks to it, and thanks to the 1st person you can take all the time you want to dive into all those details they put in front of your eyes, such as the beautifuly crafted animations which can be more subtle.
Despite all the controversy around the game, I find that the game being 1st person is actually one of its strongest assets.

I wish I could say the same. For some parts it's nice, but not for the whole game.
I have a question? Why buy a first person game then get all disappointed and mad about it being first person. That's like buying a car, getting home and being mad that it's not a truck. I personally never got the infatuation with needing to see your character other than playing Barbie dress-up
Before release of the game it was mentioned countless times to "play it before judging". Well I've played and know I'm judging. While I like the game, some parts are still underwhelming in my book.
It's funny you brought up the barbie dress-up
My wife remarks my playing with the virtual barbie doll as well from time to time, and she doesn't fully understand it either. The only difference being that she respects me enjoying it.
How?! I really wish I could drive around in first person without feeling like I need a booster seat. (a seat for toddlers in cars)
I love the interiors of the cars & they're designed very appropriately, but I can't see behind me, or even what's immediately beside me.
Often, when playing, I'll switch to FP when driving just because I wanna be able to see my car's interior while cruising around. The sacrifice?: The pedestrians who get to close to my car. Don't they know I'm driving in FP?
Some of the vehicles are bad but I particularly prefer bikes, especially Jackie's for driving around as it gives you the best view
I'll admit, reversing your car is a gamble due to a lack of rear view mirrors. Regular driving on the road however is doable as long as you keep the dimensions of your vehicle of choice in mind. It's just the minimap that makes me overshoot at times.
But you are judging why a burger doesn't taste like a salad. I would understand if it was a feature that was suppose to be in game but it wasn't. If they add it as an option for players, that would be alright and anyone to argue otherwise, outside of multiplayer reasons, is just looking to argue. I would still play in first person and hell, on my next playthrough, I'm going to turn off more hud options just to immerse myself even more.Before release of the game it was mentioned countless times to "play it before judging".

I personally find the cars to feel somewhat realistic. I mean, if you wanna drive at 180 mph, don't expect your car to perform and maneuver very well. Drive it like you would normally drive and it actually becomes more enjoyable but it is hard to do that with mouse and keyboard. I sometimes grab my controller when I drive so I have more control
I should've mentioned that I do play it on a base PS4, the controller makes it easier than WASD on a keyboard I imagine. The handling is fine to me, played enough Carmagedon (which uses realistic physics for vehicle handling) that it's not difficult to make that switch.
Ya, a controller makes a huge difference when it comes to anything that involves driving in video games. Could you imagine playing Gran Turismo on mouse and keyboard lol?
If we are speaking of what was supposed to be in the game, then you could say that the salad was slowly changing into a burger, taking into account what was altered and removed over the course of years into the final product that has been released.
Despite all changes, I still gave it a shot. And while I like the game, it's still my right to express my opinion.
You say some of us are just looking to argue about the matter of perspective. But one can ask you the same by visiting and commenting in this specific topic.
To come back to that divined word "immersion". Everyone has it's own vision of what it should be. No one should define it for another.
Please read what I wrote before commenting. I said "If they add it as an option for players, that would be alright and anyone to argue otherwise, outside of multiplayer reasons, is just looking to argue."
Okay, you've got me there. I interpreted that sentence wrong.
I'm certain I read an article where they indicated that the game was going to be 1st person due to the environmental differences of an inner city. They compared to Witcher 3's large open area environment where there is a lot of horizontal options for the camera. For 2077 the game is tighter, more vertical, and was always intended to be 1st person.
This is the longest I have ever played a 1st person game as I do not like it typically, but since I read the store page, and listen to the developer I was aware of what i was getting into a few years ago.

One thing's for sure, we start gettin' multiplayer they better make note of these problems, otherwise nobody's gonna wanna either buy more content or play lookin' like their trench coat is stapled to their ass...
