I can agree that car culture is making some games worse because of terrible infrastructure thinking, Cyberpunk is a terrible choice to criticize. It’s supposed to be a capitalistic hellscape, why wouldn’t the same terrible city design influence Night City’s corporate builders?
I’m not certain what argument you’re making here. That Cyberpunk by definition cannot have bad gameplay, or that Cyberpunk has been critically acclaimed to have good gameplay.
I am simply stating that I, along with most other people, who have played the game would say that Cyberpunk’s gameplay is amazing. I would say that you eight haven’t played the game or isn’t a serious person if you state that Cyberpunk’s gameplay is bad, as if that is an obvious statement.
First of all, I am not the author. I haven’t even played CP. I am merely sharing someone else’s opinions. Furthermore I will point out that CP was absolutely lambasted on release to the point that it became a joke, so it’s far from obvious to others that its “gameplay is amazing”.
In fact, the video makes the argument that most the flaws of CP are down to the lost effort of trying to make a large car-central cityscape with their budget, so I’m seriously wondering if you actually watched the video or you’re one of those weird nerds who reflexively feels the need to jump in front of criticism for megacorporations who don’t give a fuck about you. Which would be extra ironic when the subject is CP.
The problem is that most of his arguments kinda fall flat? It feels like he didn’t finish the prologue (like other people pointed at).
Like he started with saying that the story is bad, because it doesn’t ask any question. But it does ask what happens, when you are being slowly replaced with other, what happens when your personality can be digitalized. Also, story was the one thing that was praised on release.
The other thing he missed is that you don’t need to drive in this game. Like there’s a fast travel checkpoint everywhere, it’s faster to use them.
Also his solution to fixing Night City is weird. I could understand wanting smaller maps if the game was empty, but NC is really dense with stuff to do.
I usually like his videos on urbanization or architecture, but sometimes he has weird takes
I played Cyberpunk hundreds of hours and I generally enjoy this game, but the gameplay is not good. Especially driving the vehicles lol. But also the combat, it’s very boring and doesn’t offer much depth. Also, all the secondary missions are very repetitive and inconsequential. What I enjoy about the game: map design, vibes, story and characters.
Played Cyberpunk at release and then after the fixes a bit before the dlc released, gameplay is mediocre at best, typical uninspired AAA open world design. Also, at release the “RPG” elements were complete garbage as well, you’d level up to get an incredible +2% on handling handguns. Oh wow, so great, such innovation!! The only really good thing about Cyberpunk is the writing and voice acting on dialogues, because the “story” is uninspired and badly written as well.
I don’t doubt that you or any other person would feel that way, but the person I responded to was speaking as if the gameplay was widely disliked, like it was a common opinion. The majority of people who have played Cyberpunk, including me, love the gameplay.
And calling the story badly written is just straight up delusional, lol
Cyberpunk has many qualities as a video game, gameplay isn’t one of them. The combat is boring as hell, which strategy you choose (stealth or brutal) doesn’t matter one bit, NPCs are blind and stupid, the higher difficulty levels just gives them more HP but they are still fucking stupid, driving the vehicles is absolutely horrible, the RPG elements are over simplified.
I think it’s a fairly common opinion. AdamSomething is not the first one to talk about the lack of gameplay in this game on YouTube. It didn’t bother me that much in my first playthrough because I was invested in the story, but when starting a new game, it’s very obvious.

Because dystopian setting doesn’t have to mean shitty gameplay and design.
Are you seriously saying that Cyberpunk of all games have bad gameplay?

Please don’t abbreviate cyberpunk.
I think it’s pretty obvious from context he is not talking about Child Porn.
