You know things are never black and white. There are always shades of gray.

Are you one of the good guys, were you always good and do you think you have never been acting like a douchebag even in your teenage years? Think about it.

Just because you don't like a certain game, doesn't make that game shallow. In Cyberpunk they show the human nature like an onion with lots of layers, some are good some not so much, exactly like human beings. And that creates depth of the characters. Then you have a huge city with lots of details, historical context, shards, etc.

I understand that you don't like the game, but objectively speaking that doesn't change the fact that this game is anything but shallow.

No, I am not a perfect creature that is always good, I am human after all, but it is a huge difference between making errors or overreacting on stress situations and a egomaniac and narcissistic sociopath at the level of Johnny Silverhand. Oh, and he is a damn mind raping parasite, holding the player character hostage, but I am sure having that in your head gives depths to the character too.

And that's a game, you know piece of fiction and the fact that you don't like this game, doesn't mean that everyone else should share your opinion. The recent reviews of this game are overwhelmingly positive. 95% seems to like the game.
