Yeah CDPR marketed and sold the game as something it really wasn't. They painted themselves into a corner about how it was going to be this amazing RPG experience but in reality it was at best an open world shooter with like 3 branching endings.
I hope Rockstar set new standards again when GTA eventually happens. If it's on par/better than RDR2 but in an open world city game with cars and traffic they're really going to be in a league of their own. 2077 failed to meet GTA3 standards of basic open world city functionality, very pretty but more of a diorama than a sandbox. I feel like I'm running around a looping movie scene that has no reaction to me whatsoever rather than a participant in a world of systems, it's very jarring. It worked for cdpr in Witcher 3 because small villages don't have many different things people might be doing and the fantasy setting allows you to suspend disbelief much more, but in a city you have various expectations of how cities work and how they should react in any given scenario.
