so, you guys still playing this?
Is CP77 gonna turn into some weird kind of Skyrim thing, where people play 500hours out of a 30hour campaign?
No, in my case I was genuinely enjoying the game for the first day or two. But starting on maybe the 3rd day after I had done a good number of quests in a row I started to wander around in the city just... walking (manner of speech actually... since we can't walk, per se) and checking out what could actually be done, or what would actually happen (on its own, I.E. 'random events' in the city / population) between missions; or in other words, I wanted to check how I could Role-Play my character, and how was the City "alive" in any ways and forms. It was then that I realized rather quickly that we couldn't do anything, really. And that nothing "else" (other than doing quests) was happening either.
That I couldn't go to a bar and order a drink, or even sit down on a bench at a street corner if I wanted to. I couldn't even
walk. I also realized at that point how the apartment served essentially no real purpose (outside of some specific quest moments). Then I found out that going in clothing stores was useless (couldn't even preview clothing before buying), then I found out how there's basically just one 'strip club' in Night City, and basically two sex workers (serving an entire city, I bet their schedule is pretty full).
By the 4th day or so I thought I'd at least continue doing my quests, and I did that a bit more (and doing that made me realize more and more how the City was just 'there' for the sake of being there, and had no content and substance or "soul" to it). By the 5th day I had enough, took a break. Then a few days after that I think patch 1.05 was out already, I continued my quests for Judy, got to the "romance" portion of that story, slept with her, and the following morning as the romance plot "concludes" it's time to leave that small house near the lake and that's it. That's where I stopped and I uninstalled for now.
I haven't touched it since. So I got maybe 1 week out of it, max. I'm ready to leave it behind for 2 years if that's what it takes. But for now I can live without it just fine and I have zero regret taking a break from a game that was - at the very best - about 30 or 35% "completed" (and to think that they were telling us all the way back at E3 2018 that the game was already "content complete" lol, I cannot imagine how little of the game even existed in 2018, besides the pre-baked 48 mins demonstration that was shown to the journalists behind closed doors, which the public got to see a few months later).
