On the Playstation store, yes. On PC it was mostly fine, if a bit buggy because it was released too early (as so many games are unfortunately). But I and many other people enjoyed it just fine at launch, and it has gotten better and better every year since then. It’s still getting new content and patches 5 years after launch, and the modding scene is absolutely crazy right now, so many good stuff being released.
It had all of those things at launch.
This is so wrong I don’t even know where to start. There is an very convoluted web of how choices in literally dozens of quests affect other quests and other things in the world. There are hours and hours and hours of videos on Youtube going through all the choices you have and all the possible outcomes they give you and all the different endings the game has if you make the right choices.
And since when are we gatekeeping the term RPG? Even the Wikipedia article opens with “Cyberpunk 2077 is a 2020 action role-playing game”… It’s also based on a pen-and-paper RPG, and it’s original creator, Mike Pondsmith, is involved in the creation of this game and it’s upcoming sequel. I’m not sure how much more RPG you can be than that?
Some weird choices in this one, like completely ignoring Cyberpunk 2077 exists.
On older consoles, yes, absolutely. But people really shouldn’t let their saltiness from 5 years ago stop them from enjoying what has since become one of the better games of the past decade.
