I dont think this game would EVER meet the amount of hopium and hype it got for YEARS before it was released.

The mayor storyline is definitely the strongest thread to pull on for a main story continuation for the DLC. Combine that with the AI beyond the wall infiltrating Night City and you've got a really solid recipe for a good story continuation and a potential solve for V's issue that the main story game kind of tosses out there.

In all honesty, I felt that this game tying itself to a main character with a name and a distinct story arc actually hurt it in the long run. I think that it would have been much more well received if they would have made you an "everyman" that got to organically find the story lines that you liked with a bare bones main story. Can you imagine being able to join any of the gangs by helping them do what they do best? Modding yourself as a prereq for one or infiltrating the cops to become part of another? Talk about replay-ability. All the while they could have had neutral story lines like finding that AI and deciding if you want to help it or destroy it.

Exactly, one of the worst parts of this game was that fast travel, having a vehicle, and POI's on the map/given to you via cellphone when you entered an area meant that there was no real organic exploring. Why sneak into a guarded building if there was no POI? That was a total miss.

Sadly the most recent Shadowrun RPGs aren't spectacular. I've played the tabletop version and I think that has spoiled me on what these games should be.

I loved playing this game. I feel they lost some options with how the story ends...BUT it's not unsurmountable. Overall though, loved the world and many of the characters had a lot of depth to them, and I enjoyed the time you spent with them.
This game took way too much negative PR because it wasn't ready for old gen consoles. It's a great game.

I mean, it was a perfect storm. Hot publisher coming off a release of arguably the greatest game of all time with killer DLC. A proven IP that’s never really had a game made, on a hot genre that’s never been properly done, starring a beloved actor. Throw in the massive promises they made and you see why it was so hyped.

I barely even play games at all anymore. But I finally powered through the beginning of this into the part where Keanu comes in and it got way more interesting. Seems like a lot of bugs are fixed on PC.

I mean I play games but not this type of story BS. Stories in games never really interest me, but this one and the main story plus all the side shit had me play it and really enjoy it. I would say GOTY for me when it came out.

It's linear and unambitious, but it's also a very complete and polished game.

It's linear and unambitious...until you're fighting a motherfucking mega-corp dragon.

You're talking about a game from 1993 where you wake up in a morgue. It was a real time shooter RPG set in a dystopian future. You got to enter computers for a confusing and unexplained mini game. You fought a goddamn vampire. What video game in '93 was doing this?
P.S. they were all linear back then.
Edit: the soundtrack was sick. (Notice the early 90s vernacular)
Second Edit: Cyberpunk 2077 would have been better if you had to fight a vampire.

Sega Shadowrun was one of the earliest "do A-B-C in any order" sandbox games.

Beat this game when it first came out on Series X. Saw it at the library the other day and thought what the hell, I’ll give it another shot.
I didn’t have too big of a problem with bugs last time around, and I’m not this time either. But I am surprised at the number of bugs that haven’t been fixed. Jackie said he was going to hand me a chip and it was actually a gun I took and stuck in my head. His guns are more often floating in the air a few feet from his hands than actually in his hands. Story NPCs still walk right through cars, people, etc. like they don’t exist. The character models twitch out frequently.
Also, please tell me the hacker spec gets more fun as the game goes. I have to keep resisting the urge to respec and play through with mantis blades (again).

I did hacker, not sure what it is now, but it was pretty broken on release once you got high into it(though sounds like any spec was like that as you got higher). As I basically could hack a camera in the building and just use the spreading dot on everything and kill it all with barely entering the building or sometimes not entering at all. It was hilarious. Just hop from camera to camera spreading my plague.
