The comparison between Cyberpunk and GTA/RDR has never made sense because GameRoll is exactly correct here. Cyberpunk’s open world is peak set dressing, but it’s always lacked the depth needed to be a compelling sandbox. I’ve 100%’d the game a few times, and its main issue is the lack of interactivity outside of quests. Night City is peak when you’re on a quest and doing gigs and immersing yourself into the life of a merc. But once you run out of gigs, the game has no systems to actually make emergent gameplay scenarios in its sandbox. It’s 100% gotten way better post-launch by being able to take the metro or a cab or just drink at a bar with an actual police system is a huge boost to allowing you to just do immersive stuff outside of quests and have fun but it’s no GTA/RDR and thats ok. After all, It’s CDPR’s first open world with cars. I’m sure the sequel will be better and focus way more on improving those aspects. Cyberpunk 2077 is an incredible game for vastly different reasons to Rockstar’s games. Cyberpunk is an awesome RPG and at its best when you’re immersed in a deep questline, making an awesome build out of weapons you got as a reward from a quest and getting into gigs. And the game is at its worst when you try to play it like it’s a sandbox where you interact with NPCs and create interesting unscripted scenarios. It simply lacks the foundation to allow for that kind of gameplay. If Cyberpunk 2 focuses heavily on improving those aspects, I can see the conversation comparing these franchises becoming reasonable but for Cyberpunk 2077, its just unreasonable. They are vastly different.
