I played Cyberpunk at launch and while I had some bugs, I generally really enjoyed it and did each of the missions in the game,
I decided to replay it since it’s been updated a lot and I’ve found that I’m just bored when playing it. I think I spend about half the time just skipping dialog and the other half shooting.
The combat sections seem to pass too quickly just to have a bunch of story to wade through.
Maybe I’m just in the mood for a different kind of game.
The initial play through was too boring for me. There’s probably still more tutorials and mechanics I haven’t got to yet but it got to be a slog with me feeling the same, too much story (that I just wasn’t feeling) and not enough action for it be fun.
I think having a wife actually is part of it for me. I’m one of those introverted guys and burn most of that social battery at my full time job. I haven’t been able to ‘feel’ relationship ties with in-game characters for years. Ive given it thought before and landed on the fact that those feelings are reserved for my wife and close friends. That along with my taste pivoting from first to third person games just made CyberPunk a bad purchase. I don’t blame the game though, CDPR seems to have done an amazing job and it looks great now.

I guess, the first play through was much better as it was during pandemic/lockdown and I had tons of free time.
My, now, wife was staying with her parents and I was in the condo alone.
But now I’m just too busy to listen to the story to play a little bit of a shooter.
