my biggest issue was the bullet sponging and totally unbalanced combat, youd either be a god that couldnt die or someone who has to land 50 headshots with a sniper rifle to kill someone

    Doesn’t seem that long ago that people ripped into BioShock Infinite for having bad gameplay despite the story and world being interesting.

    A game should have good gameplay as its #1 priority. The story can be the core, but gameplay has to exist in service to it. If mediocre gameplay is the wall that sits between interesting story and world, then the experience suffers as a result.

      BioShock is an fps (with RPG tropes) though. Cyberpunk is an RPG (with first person combat), and nobody complains Fallout’s or Skyrim 's combat is bad (when it’s very similar to cyberpunk’s). It’s a matter of genre expectations.
