Still wouldn't be worth it, even if it was free.

  • The lore is complicated and boring. They just thrust you right into the story without explaining anything. The game throws a bunch of storylines in your face all at once, everyone uses a bunch of fictional slang terms that you'll have to look up, and you're just expected to keep up. It feels like you just loaded into some random person's save file after they were already halfway through the game.
  • The depth of the RPG mechanics are surface level at best. Just pick the gun with the highest DPS then run-and-gun everywhere; you'll get very far with this strategy alone. No need to even bother with stealth and hacking.
  • There's literally nothing to do outside of a mission; the city feels extremely lifeless and manufactured, like some Truman Show shit. The only thing worth doing is to play one mission after another.
  • Despite what the devs claimed, none of your choices actually matter; not even the character class you pick has any effect on the story, other than a couple of extra dialog choices if you pick Corpo.

But it sure looks pretty. The only reason to pick up this game is to show off your 4090/5090. Stay far away. If you want a good, modern, Western RPG, Play Fallout: London instead (it's free).

Edit: I just noticed that you posted this question in the Cyberpunk community (explains all the fanboyism in this thread). If you want more realistic answers, you should repost this question in a general gaming community, not a community that only fans of the game will visit...unless they so happened to just stumble upon this post on the front page of All (like I did).

Are you talking about Cyberpunk or the Fallout series? Because both of these games fit that description. Sorry to hear you didn't like it, but you might just not like the setting in general. It's probably just not the RPG style that you want in your games but it's still fully serviceable game.

I went into the story with absolutely no prior knowledge and I didn't have any problem picking it up. World elements are explained to you as you explore which is self-driven rather than waypoint-based I suppose. I personally prefer to discover things through context rather than have everything spelled out for me like I'm the "every man" in an old 2000s TV show.

Also why are you attacking people who enjoy this game by by labeling their enjoyment "fanboyism"? Asking someone who came from All. It's not like this is the worst RPG ever made or that it's the same as it was when it was released.
