Went through the interlude, pretty fun and it's opened up now. My gripes still remain though.
Also, I'm having some pretty hilarious stuff happening, I killed a guy and his gun just kept floating in mid-air shooting at me and I died
Haven't seen stuff like this for quite a long time
As for comparisons with Deus Ex, it's absolutely worse so far. I'll always prefer a smaller, denser world with actual depth to skin-deep beauty. There's more consequence in Deus Ex and actual worthwile exploration, I also get to choose what I'm going to say in many instances and the game rolls with it instead pointing me towards the correct option. I was more immersed in HR and MD even though the scale is incomparable. The city in CP, although absolutely the star of the show, is just there.
It's also pretty empty in many places, my CPU is getting pretty hammered but there are very few of those mindless zombies around. It's really noticeable, especially when they appear out of the blue and disappear into thin air.
