World is not interactive enough, thoughts?

+
just forget it, guys. This is too much work to make happy few people.

While I question if it's "worth it" for this game or project as 'the cat is out of the bag', it definitely must be minded for the next game. There can't be "too much work" as argument, other notable / known development studios manage to do this in their AAA titles. It must be either added through later content additions or in the next game.

I realize it's easy to nitpick the things we dislike and lose sight of all the positive aspects and the effort the developers made, including under crunch, but if the company or marketing dept itself praises certain features of the game like believable / immersive open world "to date" then it must deliver accordingly, or not praise it as such as it would become hollow marketing talk and (worst case) tarnish the reputation.

It's either this or being unable to compete in that field as other games do a better job at an open world people can immerse themselves (more) into.
 
The city looks great but almost every door i walk up to is locked :(
BUT there are a ton of silly vending machines \o/
The locked door thing drives me nuts because there's feedback for doors that you can force or use Tech Ability on, but these give no clue as to what you need to open them or if you ever can.
 
I thought so too. Something like a like/hate meter for the factions would have been nice, so gangs start to hunt you

i remember in Red Dead Redemption 2, there are sherifs who attack you for doing crime, but if you escape into wild, bounty hunters with Skull icon will track you down. also i remember in Fallout series bounty hunters would find a way to gank you :D
 
Can someone explain me what is the wardrobe in apartment for? I seem to be able to pick things that are in there already, but I cannot put anything back in there. Once I take everything out of it it seems to be not interactive any more at all.

I also wanted to ask if there is no radio in the apartment? No way to put some music on?
And the TV can only be on when we sit on the sofa?

Yeah I have been wondering that too .. i thought it would work as a storage unit for your clothes but I can only take things from there not store them back ... maybe I am doing something wrong

I'm assuming that they meant it for a place for your cloths kind of a dress-up thing, but it didn't pan out in time, so they just added everything into your stash instead. It would be nice to keep that stuff separated, but, oh well.

Is PCWORLD getting paid for reviews now???


"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. "
These guys didn't even launch the game.
 
I don't mind that the doors are locked. It feels like being in a real city. I don't enter every door that I see and steal all of their stuff. In my country, most of the houses are locked, even when the people are inside.
 
i don't really care if it's interactive or not, i have a big problem: i cannot go through the door at Lizzy's basement to meet Judy in Automatic Love mission. i get to the basement and i'm able to open and close the doors but i cannot go through what seems an invisible wall. i can see evelyn standing next to the door and i see judy sitting in the back, i was also able to listen to the conversation she was having with a girl and how the girl left the room but i cannot go in. wtf. that's awful. like so many bugs i cannot enjoy playing. I've tried everything: did other side quests, i turned off came back, called her, texted, nothing works. awful.

There are a lot of bugs and glitches and there's no excuse for releasing it in this state but I honestly wish the bugs and glitches were my biggest problem with the game. Those will almost assuredly be fixed for the most part.
 
To be fair the Witcher wasn't very interactive either, aside from Gwent. NPCs acted much the same as they do in Cyberpunk.

All the interaction is in missions, sidequests, and random encounters (like bounties). I'm fine with it. The game just needs some polish.

I'm also sure that the DLC will add more interaction. Probably hair salons and cosmetic shops, for one. Maybe arcade rooms.
I want more hookers and braindances. I want doll houses we can go to and actually select a doll. I want more interactivity. It's a huge and beautiful city, but it's just window dressing. Hoping the story really blows me away.

You cannot integrate that level of immersion into a game environment such as this
  1. Game would become confusing - big city in the future? permitting every building/shop/housing access to enter would confuse the shit outtta the average person, even those who like sandbox because of easter eggs (not everyone navigates via minimap / main story line quests)
  2. The game would be 500 GB and exclude consoles - CD Projekt is a business and with next gen consoles out this year, thats huge chunk of revenue. Adding the aforementioned would increase file size 10x fold and not be feasible on consoles (avg player doesnt want 1 game taking up 1/2 the hard drive)
We don't need every single shop to be open, but there could be more without massively increasing the size as you mentioned.
 
Firstly I must say that the game is great and I enjoy playing it very much, but more and more I am playing I cant shake that one big dissapointment or issue I have with the game and thats that the world just not seem interactive enough and its really shame cause it has so much potential and unused opportunities in that area. I dont know I just thought it would be more interactive like GTA you know more specifically like GTA SA.

- All those food stands 24/7 or other shops around the game you cant interact with ... why you cant buy a hotdog or cofee or beer whatever then drink or eat it with some nice animation .. those are tiny things but it really adds immersion and life into the game
- Restaurants and bars ... sadly they are completely obsolete and not worth going in there, its just an inventory barter same as with the food machines and since all food gives same boost you just dont have to go there ever ... why you cant just sit around the bar or restaurant drink or eat something with some animations and chill you know maybe watch some strippers and give them some eddies you know
- Too few channels in TV and you cant interact with anything while browsing the web thats a shame ...
- No minigames (at least so far) there is also a lot of unused potential, i saw playing/gaming machines make them usable for in game gaming, pub games like darts or pool, hazard machines (also in game) maybe in game casino ?, there are shooting ranges at gun shops so why not make a minigame here to shoot for high score etc.
- Customizable cars (hope it will be added in some future DLC)
- What are those BDs for if you cant watch them? I still cant figure out why you can buy them them then? and whats the function of pawn shops cause you cant use almost anything he is selling and you can sell him everything you can sell to other vendors
- Too few prostitute/toys types ... I came only across two so far (one male, one female) and playing as male V I dont find the female version very atractive

Those are just few I can think of from the top of my head, feel free to add more if you think of any. I dont know after 8 years of development I just expected the world to be way more interactive and that there will be more things to do when you are not on a mission to just hang out you know.

But otherwise the game is great :)

How it can be improved? (probably wont, but hey a man can dream) Your thoughts?
Agreed with every word!
 
because developers wanted to appeal to mass audience like fortnite and valorant players

Me trying to deal with this fact:
*Image from one of CP2077's in game advertisements about depression and stress from disappointment*

All of this is really ironic considering the cyberpunk genre subject matter, Johnny Silverhand's hatred for the souless nature of corporations etc.

It's a tunnel visioned story game that doesn't even have a great story system, they never thought of actually letting us choose our own names and removing names from the dialogue, for a big studio they do things in a very amateurish way.

When you have heard the letter V being mentioned a million times you are constantly reminded that it's not you and takes you out of any immersion that you might have had otherwise.

Only one single voice which is either Canadian or American with no accent, it's not great. There's is a arrow slider for voices, so they clearly intended to have more than one voice in the game but it was probably rushed like everything else.

One time playthrough for 60€, no thanks i refunded already.

It's never "You" in RPGs. That would be metagame, and quite silly actually. But I do agree that V should me more influenced by the player's decisions and lifepaths. As it stands, it's just Geralt with 1/10 of his charisma.

And then they will make some bs multiplayer mode.

Yeah, maybe they should cancel that and begin to support the game with restoring cut content before trying to sell DLCs.

Who's going to buy a multiplayer game in a Night City so devoid of interactivity? They can't compete against GTA and Red Dead Online.
