After a 300 or so hours - i dont see this game survive in a long run.

It was fun getting into the new areas and exploring the world, but that didnt last for long. the whole point of the gameplay once you finished with exploring and "story" is brainless GRINDING for the sake of grinding.
Absolutely lazy, unoriginal and uninteresting : kill 5 mobs, loot 5 chest, craft 5 pieces of smthn.
Absolutely lazy, not interesting and not rewarding crafting system : you can either get 10 of wood A, craft item A and get 100 exp OR you can get 8 of wood A, 10 of wood B, craft item B and get 150 exp. so, you end up gather 700k green wood and 500k iron ore just to max ONE profession. and there are couple of em.
Talking about canonical PvE activities : there are total 6 dungeons (expeditions) available in game, only 2 of which are end game dungeons, total dung run takes 30 to 60 minutes and you getting bored with both after like 5-6 full runs of each. to complete more dungeons in the future you need to craft a keys (tuning orbs), which makes interest in playing dungeons even lower.
Leveling water mark of gear score from 500 to 600 will take 50-100h and thats brainless sink of time that doesnt include any fun in it : get a train of players goin, get to high lvl elite area, 1-1-1-1-1 mobs.
Initially game was designed as PvP one, but there is not much good PvP on it. Open world PvP is absolutely dumb, not rewarding and if you dont have friends or your friends are not too good at PvP - youll get facerolled by a big group or better players.
Flagged players in open world gets 10% increased expirience and gathering gain, but you cant recall back to inn once you flagged, so the time youll spend running for the 10% increased profit is not worth it. This is also related to faction PvP quests, the objective of those is that far from settlements, thats absolutely not worth it most of the time - just get to low lvl area, do the set of 3 low lvl faction pve quests thats locates one to each other and youll get better profit from it.
Wars is massive (50v50) PvP battle that happens once each 4 days and if your guild doesnt own the area, or doest get up early to contest the enemy area be4 any other guild does - youll never see it goin.
Invasion is PvE kind of war that happens each 4 days aswell and doesnt include any fun. 10 ppl out of 50 is selected by settlement owner, the other 40 is selected randomly from those that registered, and the higher level you are - the better chances to get picked you have. The invasions itself are massively overscaled in difficulty and without proper communication - youll never succeed doin it with 40 randoms. So, the only point to sign up is to get a bit of free gold and faction tokens.

Graphics in this game is nice, soundtrack is nice aswell, optimization is kinda poor, amount of bugs and glitches is abysmal. Also, there is no fee, which i guess can be added to pros?

If you are lookin for a good rewarding game with nice exploration - there is Genshin Impact, which surpass anything in exploration. It also has nice combat system and variety of quests.
If you are lookin for a game with a good pve and/or hardcore pve - Classic WoWs are still the king, nothing getting close to their raids and dungs.
If you are lookin for a game with good pvp - Guild Wars 2 is still the best you can find among mmo (and it also has nice and rewarding crafting, probably, the best crafting system i had seen yet).
If you are lookin for a good story driven mmo - swtor or ff14 are great.
And all of these absolutely deserves more time and attention than NW, at least at this point.

oh yea, and ♥♥♥♥ lorepages, nobody ever liked this kind of trash; when i want to read a good story - i am reading a book, not 3 paragraphs of text with no sense

All i wish - amazon (or steam at this point) allow ppl to refund the game with more than 2h on record.

Dont get me wrong, i love cyberpunk genre, i played a lot of cyberpunk titles, i read a lot of (if not all) cyberpunk books, but the game expirience i got after 85 hours is rather disappointment. Story is well written and the female voice acting is through the roof, but that's about everything that game can offer you right now.
First that pissed me off was release time on midnight in EU (and i was not even able to get into the game till 2AM or so), then its streamers that got the access to the game be4 every1 else.
3 out of 5 quest will get bugged in one way or another, 1 quest out of 5 will bug without being able to finish it at all. Lots of visual glitches along the way. I dont even gonna write here that we didnt get anything that would represent a next gen on this game.
Game was post poned for almost a year and was released in terrible state; instead of pushing the small fixes daily - we were said that the fix will come somewhere in january.
If you consider buying this one - DONT, cdpr does not deserve the price they put on a tag; thanks God its DRM free and can be downloaded from a random torrent.

RE:visited post 1.1 : game still has tons of gamebreaking bugs. DONT BUY THIS PIECE OF ♥♥♥♥.

RE:visited post 1.12 : actually managed to finish all but 2 assaults and 1 gig/cyberpsychosis, realoadin one of the older saves even fixed those 3 for me. Not many bugs lefts, but quite a few glitches here and there. Wish it was more content to be done post game walkthroughs, but sadly there is nothing else to do once you done. Loved the story, loved the characters, loved the side jobs; every single ending hits like a truck, even dropped a tears on temperance one. Personally for me - takin over the title of the best cyberpunk game i ever played (and stealin the crown that belong for a long long years to original deus ex); i jsut wish it was not released in that poor state..

bad story, but still best tea party ever (c)
