Cyberpunk 2077

Have you played Cyberpunk 2077?
How did you customise your character?

The game begins with the selection of one of three lifepaths for the player character V (Gavin Drea or Cherami Leigh): Nomad, Streetkid, or Corpo. All three lifepaths involve V starting a new life in Night City with local thug Jackie Welles (Jason Hightower) and having various adventures with a netrunner, T-Bug.

In 2077, local fixer Dexter DeShawn (Michael-Leon Wooley) hires V and Welles to steal a biochip known as "the Relic" from Arasaka Corporation. They acquire the Relic, but the plan goes awry when they witness the murder of the megacorp's leader Saburo Arasaka (Masane Tsukayama) at the hands of his treacherous son Yorinobu (Hideo Kimura). Yorinobu covers up the murder as poisoning and triggers a security sweep in which Arasaka's netrunners kill T-Bug. V and Welles escape, but Welles is fatally wounded in the process, and the Relic's protective case is damaged, forcing V to insert the biochip into the cyberware in their head.

It's supposedly decent aside from launching as a bug ridden glitchfest. Seems it was overhyped and disappointed people. I'd wouldn't mind trying it, I guess.

I played some of the old pen-and-paper RPG once upon a time. I wasn't really interested in the video game, and its technical issues at launch made it seem like something I'd rather avoid.

^ That reminds me, there's a pretty ambitious phone game called Cyberpunk: The Arasaka's Plot. It's as clunky as you'd expect but interesting.

I was looking forward to it because I really liked The Witcher 2 & 3, but I just ended up avoiding it after hearing it was a big buggy disaster.

Honestly I'm not sure I'd have loved it anyway. I don't like Fallout as much as Elder Scrolls or Mass Effect as much as KotOR. I think I like fantasy worlds more than sci-fi for role playing games.

I didn't even know about the game until just a few months before launch, so I wasn't as overhyped as a lot of folks. Me and a bunch of my friends and family all got it, all played it, and all enjoyed it for the most part. It helps that we all have pretty decent PCs so the power of our systems helped mitigate the majority of game breaking bugs. The game was a lot of fun.
However, my friend who got it on his base PS4 reported it was borderline unplayable. I feel bad for console players of this game. Especially the ones who waited nearly a decade for it.
