Good thing people are all different eh?

I've completed the main story and is at my second play-through now. First play-through was main quests only basically, second is a few main and then every single non-main quest I can get at and only then main quests. It is by far the best made open-world game I have ever played and while there are a lot of bugs it is nowhere near "Bethesda level buginess". Fallout and Elder scrolls -some of my favorite games- was worse than this even after the first 5-10 updates, since at least 90% of the bugs I saw was game breaking, same-game-corrupting or crash-to-desktop stuff.

I have had zero crashes and zero bugs that required me to reload. 100% of bugs have been cars floating a few centimeter above ground, a weapon falling a few centimeters below ground (but I can still pick it up), the GPS not taking the fastest route, etc. Basically not a single bug that is cause for all the yelling and shouting I'm seeing. In a few patches it is everything GTA could only dream of and I'm sure this will be a cash-cow. A cash-cow for the only anti-DRM and customer-friendly big developer out there is a huge win.

That I can play it at high settings (using Digital Foundry's recommended settings) at my not at all brand new PC is just icing on the cake.

I agree that the complaints are at a fever pitch, and I'm certainly enjoying the game, but I balk to compare it to GTA, which I believe is simply in another league of immersion.

This may be because I'm not very far into the main quest (without spoiling, I have about 3 hours ago gotten past the prologue and interlude).

But just off the top of my head, stark differences between gta and Cyberpunk:

Vehicle types. Gta has cars, motorcycles, helicopters, planes, blimps, atvs, and iirc bicycles. Cyberpunk has cars. I've seen motorcycles but I haven't seen that I can ride them yet. I've seen flying car type things too but again no evidence I can drive them. Same for blimps.

Gta lets me enter buildings and do things like bowl, play darts, pool, whatever. Get a drink at a bar, iirc. Strip clubs. Again, not too far at the game, but I tried going to a bar in Cyberpunk and it was like buying a drink in skyrim. It simply appeared in my inventory and that's that. I visited a hooker and he fucked me and that was kinda fun I guess, but not as interactive as a gta strip club.

Cops. I've seen a funny video in Cyberpunk where someone sniped someone from a roof and cops teleported behind him (nothing personel, kid). In GTA the cops have to actually arrive in some form of transportation to respond to your crimes.

So those are my main complaints, but only because we're comparing to gta here. On its own I actually enjoy Cyberpunk more than gta, but I do so fully cognizant of its flaws. I still have fun though.

Exactly, I wasn't saying it was objectively bad it's just clearly not up to the standard that it set for itself.

If CDPR have the balls to look to add as much as they can over the next few years they could have a very nice game in the end, but currently it's just a bit mediocre.

I tried to play GTA V, but found the story very off-putting and uninteresting. I couldn't relate to any of the characters and found some of them frankly disgusting. All the missions in Cyberpunk I've played so far are well made, some of them really good like the parade scene in Japan town.

Having the most mini-games or accessible buildings doesn't equal "the best game" though.

CP have way more indoor area than GTA5.

It only have cars and motorcycles you can control yes.

It has strippers and hookers and you can drink lots of places where the drink is served on the table or you can buy it to inventory.

Anyways, if mini-games made the best game neither would be in top 10.
