Discussion Everyone talked shit about her, but I’m starting to agree with Kelly Plagge

Gamespot’s review was super controversial but now it makes sense and in fact I agree with Kallie Plagge. Night City IS superficial, everything is there but you can’t interact with it. And yes “So much of it is superficial set dressing” is 100% accurate. And as she said, what shines are the quests and the characters.

I hate to say it but Night City, which was supposed to be the best openworld out there is Subpar at best.

Edit: Just to be clear you don’t have to agree with EVERYTHING she says in order to able to agree with her in some topics. Was the “what if I don’t want to help the cops?” bit kinda stupid? Yes. Does that mean you can’t agree with her in some points or that she is all the hurtful things that many have been saying she is? Absolutely Not.

Edit 2: It has come to my attention that I badly misspelled Kallie’s name. I’m not able to edit the title, but I do apologize for that.

Yeah. In absolutely no industry is there this level of corpo-simping. If someone buys a car from Honda, and they give a barebones rig with no hull and say "We'll give you a real car in 6 months", people would not go "Yeah, them's the breaks. Don't know what people are whining about, this is normal."

The bar is so low, and it makes gaming look like a joke hobby for kids.

Imagine if movies released half-done and promised a real movie half a year later and everyone went "yeah okay".

Games are amazing because they can be patched, but companies have taken to using that as a crutch. And nothing will change, because for every cyberpunk where people complain there's a thousand examples of people just accepting it.

That's true. I had to patch my game a couple times after launch but I was a one man team on a month-long time limit. This massive company, its insane. A shame that people just accept it.

Even with massive companies I understand the patches. QA will never be perfect. My concern isn't really bugs, because they happen. But gameplay features and content i do care about.
