Yeah I think people who are taken aback by this little "community backlash" just for a couple appartments are having it wrong.
It is not only about that, it just symbolizes a fear that we have; that Night City is going to be a little shallow.
Sure we want a story driven RPG with choices, that's incredibly awesome on that scale, but CDPR is also creating a very lived in and detailed open-world Cyberpunk City, and we want to interact with it !
We want to touch it, We want to feel like we are part of it. We want to feel, as a player, that we really do live in that city and that we're not only here to be a camera and follow a story.
It's cool to see such a lively and coherent city, please make us be at least a little part of that.
What can we do in Night City if we can't buy stuff, interact with our environment, have a little bit of activites ?
(Absolutely no offense, but the activites they talked about don't quite cut it. I don't know how to put it nicely, but a shooting range is the most bland thing you could add, the driving is probably not going to be good so car-racing neither, we're left with a little robot-boxing. I'm afraid that's a bit thin).
I.N.T.E.R.A.C.T.I.O.N please !
