    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
