The strangest thing.. I have to agree. But what's weird to me is that I can see all the issues with the game and don't even necessarily disagree when people list all their gripes with it. The world feels empty, sure. The inventory clutter/management sucks. True. The quests aren't even that good and a lot of the map is filled with the same police scanner shit. And yes, The Witcher had way better quests and practically no filler bullshit, and I had wished that CP2077 was the same..

All true. It's simply that it.. doesn't seem to affect my enjoyment of the game at all. I love it.

It is also the only game I've ever played where I actually enjoy driving. I hate racing/car games and pretty much any other game that has driving.. I will always prefer walking to driving. I don't even drive IRL. But in CP2077.. damn, I love the driving. Fast travel might as well not exist! I purposefully pick quests that are on the other side of the map, just so I can drive there. It's so damn relaxing, cruising around, radio on, Night City is so beautifully built.

I could spend dozens of hours just exploring Night City like a tourist.

I have spent dozens of hours exploring Night City like a tourist, I mean, but I could spend dozens more (and almost certainly will, if I ever get a graphics card that can run it decently with ray casting).

And then there's actually playing the game, of course, which for me has been fun from day one, but then again the PC version seems to have been spared most of the bugs.
