I think it's fine. The game is already deep and immersive enough. Small activities devs put in other fps games were never fun to me to begin with. I'm actually glad cd projekt red also didn't feel the need to add such filler. Plus I'm perfectly happy with just walking/driving around sight-seeing, as the world is beautiful on it's own it's just fun looking at it.
Maybe they will do what GTA Online does, sell shark cards / shard cards for Multiplayer
It can not be improved. This whole game is a mess. No updates in this world will be able to fix the dead and empty world that is Cyberpunk 2077. They won't even be able to make it right in another 10 years.
That's why I refunded the game. I'm happy to have my money back.
CDPR has proven to be a great company in the past. I see no reason why they cannot add more to the game through patches and DLC. The foundation is there. Hoping for good things from them.
What knowledge of game design or the engine exactly are you basing that opinion on?
I agree that not everything we wish for will be added, however what is already there is the shadow of a very good game. The game is just so evidently underdeveloped that they will have to overhaul it piece by piece. Thats a lot of work but they are not a studio that releases a lot of games. So, since they want to sell DLC later and this is their only major source of profits they absolutely have a lot of reasons to keep working on it and will do so. Nothing about the game is so broken that it cant be repaired, just everything is a bit broken which results in a sum that makes the whole experience messy.
Maybe releasing actual modding tools could help save this game, at least on Pc
Yes please! The game is amazing already, but the day-to-day hired gun game would benefit intensely from more interactive RP elements. You can sleep and shower in your apartment sure, but that's about it. Even bars which you can "have drinks in", you buy it, have to go to inventory and not even an animation.. should be able to sit down and drink like in cutsceney quest moments. Also haircuts.. really.. even clothing is lacking. The open world falls short without these elements, could just be a more contained deus ex type game now. But man, Night City is just amazing, and really deserves these interaction elements.
Last point of gripe - romance partners. For instance, with Judy, you get access to her apartment, but cant sleep there and even worse, cant spend any meaningful time with her (or any partners). Dont want to compare to other games, but with what is in Cyberpunk, some elements from GTA in this regard are needed imho.

I just realized there isn't even lightning or thunder effects, i know it is a small and silly detail but it just shows how neglected is this city.
Excellence is based on perception; the game disappoints because it could have been so much more. Overpromising and under delivering is the hallmark of poor development and we all expected better from CDPR. For a year of mostly underwhelming games, I think we were all hoping for something amazing from this studio and in nearly all other respects they succeeded in making a great open world RPG with amazing graphics and an excellent story.
However, they didn't deliver on the one thing they based the whole premise of the game on: a revolutionary immersive open world environment where you were in control.
THAT failure is what will define this game and to the gaming community that is all that it takes to send it to the bargain bin.
Yes that. Game is great story wise, quests, contracts, customization etc. etc. I enjoy it. But ... there is this huge but ... I dont see that next gen open world they promised to us ... there are lot of more immersive and more interactive worlds in the games already released in the past ...
As you say its a great game ... but it wont be the revolutionary legend we all hoped and I think also devs hoped for.
Is PCWORLD getting paid for reviews now???
Cyberpunk 2077 review impressions: Basking in neon Night City streets
We've spent over a dozen hours with Cyberpunk 2077, and we're in love with Night City's ray-traced neon streets.www.pcworld.com
"Cars pack the streets in GTA-like fashion, though Cyberpunk 2077 features more intelligent driver AI that actually tries to stay out of your way. "
"It’s also been refreshingly bug-free so far. "
"CD Projekt Red had the weight of the world on its shoulders, but Cyberpunk 2077 delivers. I can’t think of a single significant complaint. "
In many cases there's literally no place for the cars to go since the streets are narrow.

The game's AI need a massive overhaul. It's unacceptable how lackluster it is. Hopefully CDPR will look into it, seriously. They promised a living and breathing world, right?
The hate is there, because we were promised and experience we didn't get, plain a simple. My preorder was based off those promises and my trust in cdpr, that we could get a truly mature adult rpg experience. None of that here.Exactly I also dont get all the hate ... beside this issue and maybe a tecnical state of the game (which I am sure it will be fixed soon) the game is great.
As you said just little more of this small content which would make the world much more alive and fun to be in.
Pretty please CDPR
Turns out the only developers I have trust in now is Fromsoft and Larian.

Been around since Coleco Vision and all I have to say is that there is a TON of potential and should not have rushed the release, but then how hard would it have been to find all these bugs and glitches with just their team? They are probably happier than flies on POOP to have us gamers find all of this for them. I REALLY hope they improve environmental quality and interactions. Glass breaking but no sounds, the people actually walking at the crosswalk ( lights) and etc etc etc. Although I am only 40 hours in....
I am hoping to see the following:
The obvious fixes they will do in the game to smooth things out.
3rd PERSON VIEW!
Ability to travel to the top of buildings like Dying light
Flying cars? For us? You shouldn't have.
DLC Content Added story missions for characters not yet playable,
More add-ons for character creation
Online multiplayer hacking like Watchdogs.
Online Multiplayer servers with gangs fighting for night city.
Short and sweet, this is a bad-ass fkn game samurais!!! We all may not have an RTX 3090, but imagination is key. Try to have fun and breathe, after all this is NIGHT CITY!

The thing is that Cyberpunk was marketed as the most believable next generation open world game to date, with tons of interactions. That's simply a lie. Open world games from 10 years ago had more interactions and were much more immersive than a self proclaimed "best open world of all time" game.
Yeah Im just reminded the trailer again that tells you to go down and eat something in town, or the one that was talking about the "best burito in town". Im reminded of gameplay trailers that showed silent takedown animations that aren't in the final game (i.e. pistol stealth takedown animation).
i am still rooting for CDProjekt RED i kinda have small hope they will improve the game.
CDPR Please bring back the obvious cut content, such as braindance outside of main missions, and more interraction in the city. Eating, drinking, more dancing, more joytoys, and or one night stands. For now the city feels a little empty. I mean the apartment is useless, it is clear it was meant to be like a place you could relax more like watching tv or braindance. PLEASE PLEASE bring it on DLC.
