Baldur's Gate 3 or Cyberpunk 2077

[u/RustyDog87]

So far I'm planning to buy Skyrim, Terraria and Persona 5 Royal. I want to get cyberpunk since it seems good and my friend has recommended it to me. Thanks to the steam deal it's only £22 and with dlc it's £40. On the other hand, Baldur's Gate is £40, and it seems that everyone loves it. Some people will probably say buy both, but my friend will most likely ask me to get a bunch of games that we can play together, which would stop me from being able to get both games.

BG3 a million times over.

Cyberpunk is basically a tech demo. There's about 4 hours worth of actual unique gameplay/content before it starts repeating itself.

What does Cyberpunk offer other than good graphics and a good story?

Theres fuck all exploration. There's no reason to, nothing is out there, no secrets, nothing to stumble upon.

Driving is diabolical for a AAA game.

Loot is shit. The non-iconic weapons are pointless and you're given the best weapon in the game early on. You don't have to grind or go searching for a unique good weapon, they're handed to you on a plate. Like a weapon but it's a low tier? No problem upgrade it. It's the exact same as finding that weapon at a higher tier anyway.

With the exception of about 5 missions, they're all exactly the same.

The AI is absolute dog shit. Stand 25m away and headshot everyone with a silenced pistol and even the guy standing next to the guy you shot doesn't give a fuck.

The controling cyberware is shit. The only useful things are disable camera, suicide and on the odd occasion destroy vehicle. The rest are useless.

Wanna do something fun like drive a tank? Yeah one mission and that's it, never use that asset again, not even for fun. Wanna get in a flying car and roam around? Nah that's reserved for one mission as basically a cut scene.

If you want to play the game that doesn't involve using the iconic pistol, then you have to literally make a conscious effort to not use it. That's not good mission/game design.

Upgrading, well it's okay when you don't have many points because you're forced down a path. But in the end you can pretty much put point where ever you want, there may as well not be a skill tree.

Wanna get a 5 star wanted level and get chased by jets and helicopters round a futuristic city? Nope. All that happens is drop ships drop off more senseless AI.

I can go on and on.

Beyond the story and graphics, the game is a complete downgrade from any other similar type of game out there. Zero actual effort was put in to the gameplay after the initial concept. It's not even an opinion, there is fuck all, gameplay wise that can be considered good, or even different. Everything they touched they managed to half ass.

Again, it's a fun first couple hours and then that's where it starts to show it's true colours. An empty open world, with copy and paste missions but change the dialogue.

They could have added the lore for NPCs to talk about but no they even took the easy route of just adding them as collectible tapes that just display text.

Gameplay is easily one of the best things about the game???? People have the right to their opinions but it gets to a point lmao
