I will buy this game when it's cheap and if I feel it's good enough/that I want to play the campaign.
I don't understand this thread reaction at all, perhaps you guys shouldn't pre-order games at all, if with every single bit of news that comes out you have to reconsider wether the game is still worth it or not. Seems stressful having to do that.
Perhaps you're not that hyped about it and what you've seen doesn't warrant a full price purchase.
/Forza Horizon 4 Microtransaction rant
Microtransactions in a game I paid for generally annoy me, but, I doubt they'll go the Forza Horizon 4 route, of shoving lego themed loading screens in my face, keeping map checkpoints that I can't turn off for content I don't own (plus, other things, like not separating on the game car store what I own/can own with ingame money, from what I have to purchase with actual money). That, being the definition of not being respectful (still, when I searched online, I didn't find a lot of people complaining about this, and I found this to be surprising).
/end rant
This microtransaction thing is clearly meant for online, and by respectful, I understand not as bad as most games who rely on them.
For me, said online game is only conceptually worth it if I can play without making microtransactions and not be punished for it. But, even if I wanted that, I'd say there are bigger things to consider, like: will it end up being any good at launch? Lot's of these games aren't requiring lots of fixes, server down time, rebalancing and the community feeling like glorified beta testers. And, by 2022, will it come to current gen consoles and is that an advantage or disadvantage? I'd say there will be people advocating one or the other, but fact is most of us will be playing cyberpunk 2077 on a current gen console (or, dare I say, current gen pc) so what we have might not even be the baseline for this.
And, I certainly wouldn't buy a standalone cyberpunk game just to play online but if it's a free add-on two years on, then I think they can actually justify microtransactions even if I don't happen to like the way they do it. So, there's that, this changes nothing for Cyberpunk 2077 in 2020 (or it's singleplayer campaign even after that).
