When I was but a wee lad, I spent some of my misanthropic youth playing the original pen and paper role playing game known as Cyberpunk. In fact it was the third such RPG I played, the first being “Red Box” Dungeons and Dragons (RIP Aleena, Press F for respects). The second was Warhammer Fantasy Role Play (“Wait, WHAT! I got decapitated, Decapitated, DECAPITATED, by a drunken halfling beggar wielding a one-handed mace, SERIOUSLY!?!” RIP all the fellow dead PC’s out there who know what I am talking about) … but I digress. CD PROJEKT RED has by far out-passed my expectations with Cyberpunk2077. The care with which they have handled Mike Pondsmiths IP. Their attention to detail, immersion, and lore is bar none. I will most definitely preorder this game with or with out discounts and/or incentives as soon as it is open to do so, not to mention getting the super-special-rare-limited-gold-collectors edition if they decide to make one. Something I haven’t done since phasing out console games long ago (PC Master Race).
P.S. I do not wish, nor want, to argue semantics. That being said, please keep in mind that first and foremost this a RPG that just happens to have a FPS aesthetic to help instill a sense of immersion in the world.
