Saying it’s the most “immersive open world game” is just marketing speak. Unless they promised a specific feature, it’s hard to say much. I’m not arguing that it’s not a finished game, so don’t get me wrong. I’m just saying that people assumed this was going to be the perfect video game. It’s clearly not, and performance/glitches aside, I’m not convinced of why everyone seems so surprised it’s not.

So you're taking the approach that (a) they were lying and (b) everyone listening to them lie was meant to realise they were lying? That... still seems like pretty bad behaviour.

I’m not saying they were lying. Saying it’s the “most immersive game ever” could mean a lot of different things based on your definition of immersion.

There’s no clear definition of being the “most immersive game”. Every piece of software has a finite feature set, based on time, cost, and a vast set of constraints - whether organizational, technical, people related, and so on.

The game isn’t ever going to live up to the hype.

The two items you listed are inaccurate. I’m taking the approach that the game had practically infinite hype and it had no where to go but to go but DOWN and disappoint people. I’m taking the approach that it’s worth looking at this from a realistic lens. Yes the game is unfinished, but there are plenty of “finished” games that aren’t great or even just good. They are flat out terrible. Why people seem to think Cyberpunk is meant to be some marvel is beyond me.
