I would definitely love hearing more about the cut content. I think most people have some idea because of the mismatch between marketing and the end product, but none of us, especially me, really know the background info.
Once again, thanks for reading, much love.

Anyway, I am once again not implying lies and foul play on any specific side, however I - along with a great many people- do think the game's release definitely did have lies and foul play (to such an impressive degree that Sony of all companies gave me a refund for it after nearly ten hours).

The street cred system however, still shows that it was in fact, a story element considered for the game, for the *entirety* of the game, but I suppose it did end up as a separate XP bar with a cool name for set dressing, which definitely is "meandering".

Regarding the GTA like aspect, saying the experience wouldn't be boring, but instead "meandering", is I suppose different and I might have gotten the wrong picture.

or the Stormcloaks or something- but whether I like it or not, it is still a design choice and is exempt of good/bad faith.
It is also possible that at no point in development gang relations have been aimed for, in which case, it was another misrepresentation of the truth, or simply, a lie.

And if the change doesn't include that one specific part and I simply misunderstood it, I am okay with that. Personally I am not fond of having a cutscene show faction interactions - I don't think anyone would want to start an RPG game like FNV or Skyrim and find themselves already aligned with NCR-

but this is one of the many things I listed in changes of vision between the development stage and the released product, and my list was way less comprehensive than what you can easily find, showing while Keanu might not have been the factor, a huge part of the vision did change.

Regarding the small things: I know being a merc in night city is not a call to action, I simply said that V is that before and after his/her call to action.
I might be misled about Keanu's presence in game - game journalists have lied before-

entirely in good faith, and competent enough to deliver the content it promised, I just think that most games that fit that category don't settle million dollar lawsuits around (might be the wrong legal term) investor fraud regarding misleading information.

I am also not assigning any motive, I do not think you are doing this out of some PR strategy or something. I am simply finding it very difficult not to find fault after being lied to not only as a customer, but also as a fan.
And if despite popular opinion you think that the release was -

Also I am not trying to assign blame to any person or even department specifically, especially not you, but I think regardless of your opinion of the game, you have to accept that the release has greatly destroyed the credibility that CDPR had until that moment, and rightfully so.

that just adds to another misrepresentation of the game in the advertisement to an already long list, which I will say, might not be a lie and might be another case of, at the very least, indifferent, if not incompetent, miscommunication.

I think that might have been a genuine mismatch/miscommunication between marketing and development, from the change in RPG label to the amplification of gang systems in the advertisement and many more, though if a part related to the Valentinos was envisioned to be scripted from the beginning,

And as you said this might come off as a "conspiracy mindset", which I agree with, as I said some of these are liberal interpretations on my side, however I think some skepticism regarding the development stage of the game is a given considering the undeniable lies when the game was released.

hey first of all, I am gonna respond just here because the structure of this website is messy LOL.
I hope my language wasn't too aggressive, as I said, I simply find it difficult to believe that this was a design choice and if that is the case, I agree that not everything has to be for everyone.

And whenever I get even a suggestion that it was, I go on an unnecessary rant that takes up peoples time.
Anyway sorry if this is annoying to anyone, and thank you if you read through it, and I gotta say once again, NO OFFENSE MEANT TO ANYONE, I am just very passionate.
Much Love.

and I never thought I would get to experience anything close to Blade Runner or Altered Carbon when I first saw them but this game got really close to doing that. I 100%'ed the entire thing and finished it many times over. I do believe it is a great game now.
It just isn't what was promised.

After all the talk about game design, I gotta say I am not saying I know better about developing a game, especially since I have been academically failing at it for the last couple months, but instead am frustrated about this outlook.
I love Cyberpunk 2077. I really do. I love the cyberpunk genre,

Anyway if this is read by anyone, sorry for the veeery long rant, release cyberpunk broke me in my developing years in a way I can't really describe, so seeing it defended after the comeback as if it was all part of some sacred vision and it was a diamond in the rough just ruffles my feathers.

I am having a hard time stomaching the idea that this was all part of some set-in-stone vision.
I am finding it difficult to believe this isn't another lie after realizing it wasn't feasible to deliver on it, and instead, a design choice that I and many others disagree with.

However after seeing so many blatant lies about the game being complete and functional, about how it kept the vision promised that was in the advertisements, and waiting with high hopes and preordering, and then opening to find a shell of what was promised at release, -

past of having the script changed, has not changed in this one, specific, hotly debated "subversive" (again, trying to be very generous), section of the game.
Maybe I just misunderstood the point being made, maybe the cutscene was always there and contents around act 1 got cut.

If that is the case I am amazed by the stars coming together to keep the developer vision around the half year montage when nearly nothing else had the same success with the game.

Had somehow, amazingly, never strayed from its vision when it comes to how V became a merc in Night City.

not to mention a dlc for the said game having a comparable length in its main story to the content of this full price game.
