    They didn’t fix it. There’s some interesting writing there but other than that, none of the original promises came to fruition. The cops still teleport (just a little further away), the crowds are still dumb as shit (worse than GTA3) and react inconsistently and erratically. Your choices don’t really matter till the last mission. The game’s image has been rehabilitated because NVIDIA spent millions to use it as benchmark for its tech and owners of NV cards need to post-hoc rationalise having sold that kidney to buy a GPU. The game is still meh, a bastardisation of cyberpunk mythos. It’s very pretty but, shallow as fuck. Play KCD, that’s an RPG series that deserves the name RPG.

      I have no clue how people have been convinced that cyberpunk is the game that was promised. Its a good game from what I understand but it is not anything close to the game that was promised pre-launch. I actually think that it was the anime more than NVIDIA that helped rehabilitate its image.

        Very likely the anime helped. I wouldn’t even say cyberpunk is good. I played the GTA V campaign recently and with all its idiosyncratic choices it plays and is a much more advanced game than cyberpunk in everything but the graphical tech. Trevor, Michael, Frank, Lester, Lamar, Norton, just to name a few from the top of my head. I remember Jackie because he dies and Johnny because he’s an annoyance, but there’s very little there that’s worth remembering. Misty, misty I remember too. People hate on ubisoft open worlds and then hail cyberpunk, I can’t even.

          I just want a more modern good first person RPG game. I like baldur’s gate 3 but I don’t feel like I am a character doing that I just feel like I’m telling someone what to do.

                I also put it off for a long time and just love the game. The combat is so janky tho 😂

                  I’ve heard hammers are good and I like the idea of whacking people with a hammer so I’m going to try that.

                    That’s my philosophy in Monster hunter games. Hunter go bonk :) I’ll try it too in KCD.
