Edit: it looks like the banner is incorrect. On the front page of steam it’s the right dates and says summer, but when I click on it to see all the sales it says spring with the dates for the spring sale. It’ll probably get fixed soon.

    Cyberpunk is on sale for 65% off so I finally picked it up (and its DLC). Currently downloading, I’m looking forward to checking it out. I tried it out shortly after launch, I think a demo or a friend’s house, but it never clicked for me so I didn’t get it. It was also incredibly buggy. I heard it’s far better now though, especially with the DLC, so I’ll give it a real shot.

      Don’t expect RDR2-but-cyberpunk (in terms of the open world) and don’t expect a blank slate character RPG: you have some choices for characterization but V will always be V.

      If you can get on board with that it’s a great, immersive action game with a good story and some well written characters.

      It’s more stable, interesting, and alive than any Fallout, Elder Scrolls, or GTA game in my opinion. If you like any of those, there’s a good shot you’ll enjoy it.

        I think Skyrim feels more alive because you can talk to every NPC and most of them have unique conversations.

        Most NPCs in CP2077 are animated decorations.

          While true you can talk to more NPCs, the largest city in Skyrim has like 40 people. I find cyberpunk’s world feels more realistically populated for a giant city.

            It looks more realistic but it breaks immersion when they turn out to be not interactive.

            But yes I agree that CP2077 has a realistic looking crowded city.

              I feel like it never broke my immersion cause how often are you stopping every stranger in a real life metropolis to talk to them? Seeing all these nameless people walking by is very much what it’s like to walk around a city in real life.
