I was planning in picking this up eventually but everything I've read so far makes me lean towards skipping it instead.
It's playable on PC. Should you? Not if you want to avoid horrors. I saw a noodle stand with 2 different NPC servers occupying the same space, merging in and out of each other. And I couldn't even order noodles.
That's the kind of game it is now, my friends.

I don't mind them occupying the same space at all. I DO mind being unable to order noodles.
Yep as usual the vocal minority is always loudest and gets what it wants.You should keep in mind that those with complaints are much more likely to write about them than those who are enjoying the game. In some places, like the subreddit, those who want to focus on the negative are outwardly hostile to people who don't. Not saying there aren't issues, but I am saying they are overblown and likely giving you an inaccurate picture of the overall player experience (assuming you have the hardware to run the game well)

To be honest, I'd be fine with the Skyrim crime system, guard telepathy and all. Unlike in Skyrim, it would make sense in Cyberpunk.Either nothing happens when you commit crimes, or the entire city you're in aggros through telepathy. Skyrim, Fallout, Outer Worlds, none of these games have even decent crime systems.

"We have you in our ubiquitous, omniscient policing system; pay a bribe to our incredibly corrupt officers or face imprisonment - whereupon you can bribe our incredibly corrupt guards."
If by eventually you mean after a few more patches, I wouldn't let negative comments scare you away (assuming you're getting it on PC). It's a good game with the potential to become a great one.
So one is your "game of the year" and the other is your "favorite game of the year". What's the difference?For my part, The Last of Us is 2 is my GOTY, but Cyberpunk 2077 is my favorite game of the year.

What puts me off is rather what I read about mechanics like poor crime system, bad and immersion breaking loot system, meatshield combat, poor stealth mechanics etc. Add level scaling and it's starting to sound like a game I'll be annoyed by as much as I'll be enjoyed by it. That ratio should definitely be less than 1:1…
So what's the difference then?Best and favorite are not the same thing.

I'm asking because for me it's the same. The game I have most fun with is my vote for the GOTY.
