Purely from narrative design pov I think subjective FPP works well with '77 story, genre and world. You're a mind trapped in a decaying body with only means of leaving it being through technological consciousness processing (cyberspace; soulkiller; projection into external devices; braindaces)

finished a long overdue playthrough of Detroit: BH. overall very impressive if not somewhat uneven. great breadth of choices - and damn, those crime scene investigations with Connor SLAP.
but also, playing it NOW - the 'crackdown on androids' beats in Act 2 / 3 are eerily relevant--

stumbled upon some old pics i shot during phantom liberty development ^^ gotta admit setting up cutscenes in this game would be extremely pleasant (coz everything looks mindblowingly amazing) but in the end i value our uninterrupted immersion more ✨

Tower and Devil endings are the only hopeful ones for V. All the others, well. You know what happens. Don't lie to yourself.

true. and also particualrly tempting and difficult with cyberpunk. i mean... we're already living in it! tf else are we supposed to capture? (i mean i know - but it is a challenge)
Given the rate of acceleration and the speed at which culture can shift, if your game takes longer than a year to develop you shouldn't try to design around current trends or vibes. Don't try to capture the moment cause you'll miss it. Make a good story and setting you have confidence in.

ok let's talk ✨ cut content ✨
TL;DR: making a game is a constant management and reevaluation of priorities vs scope, vision, quality and time. throughout this process as many things get added as removed.

i love Fallout as much as anyone but the show is losing me. it's not that funny, i have no idea what this story is about, what am i waiting or cheering for, plotting is messy, emotional stakes unclear, exposition dumps that lead to nowhere... it feels like a fan service checklist now :|

But as a little uno reverse i'll post a comment that i think captures well the expectation conundrum we found ourselves in. The game cannot be infinite. A little exercise for everyone - for every thing you'd like to see added remove something else (from a given aspect of the game).

So would extending Act 1 (before the heist) in CP77 make the game better?
1. No it wouldn't. It's like saying we should spend more time on Tatooine with farmer Luke before he got involved with all this Jedi stuff.

since last debunk went so well.
false. it was never planned. every model is 'naked' underneath clothing because this is how our appearance system works.
it's the same myth as with Alex and Takemura. the fact that you can hit on them doesn't mean there was a romance path there. like in real life!

mini rant: no, elevators in cyberpunk are not 'cleverly concealed loading screens'. you really think you can traverse whole city and enter a huge complex interior with no loading screens but we need to do elevator tricks to load a penthouse?
