you clear a room out and whats left? dozens of drops of loot with varying stats. you see a pistol, its dps is higher than the one you currently own. there is no logical reason not to pick up that pistol and replace your old one besides you like the old ones aesthetics. How is that not a looter shooter? Yes there are perks and such tied into this that have rpg elements but outside of several they are once again purely dps based. How is this not more akin to a borderlands than a skyrim?
You get in a car and what do you do? Drive fast.
Must be a racing game
In cyberpunk you don’t even have to shoot. You can complete most/all missions without even pulling out a gun.
And you are entirely wrong in saying stats don’t matter with guns. You literally can’t even use some guns depending on your stats. And your stats do have a profound effect on damage and other aspects of the guns.
It’s like Skyrim in the fact that you have a choice on how to build your character and how to play.(I.E. Role Playing Game) You can put a lot of your stats into dialogue or tech stuff and avoid most fights, or you can put all your stats in machine guns and run in like Rambo. Or you can chose something in between. You don’t even have to pick up loot if you don’t want to. Can just buy stuff. It’s all about choice.
In a “looter shooter” you loot and shoot, that’s it. You can’t even holster your gun in borderlands, you’re supposed to shoot everything that moves. Cyberpunk is not that, at all.
