I can sense this is going to get downvoted probably. I know you guys probably love all aspects of the game so it's understandable. But I'm not into story based games. I'm into more active gameplay (mostly combat/adventure), of which there is a lot in Cyberpunk that's actually good. I just want to know how to get the most action with this game and skip through the story, yeah I know I'm missing stuff, but that's not what I got the game for. I just want gameplay, not story or dialogue or choose your own adventure stuff.

I chose Corpo and I'm not sure if it's the best path since I read that it has a lot of dialogue. I'm so uninterested in the dialogue that I skip through all of it while choosing random/default options mostly, until I can get to more action gameplay or at least get to walk around and look at stuff which is fun.

I saw gameplay footage online which sold me on the game, and it had someone shooting at robots and fighting different enemies a lot with space age futuristic weaponry and settings. That's what I want from this game. How can I get to fight robots properly (not the dummy robot you have a fist fight with in the ring but actual warbots with weapons that are a real threat)? Does the Corpo go up against robots at some point or is that something reserved for Streetkid? I just want the most combat and gameplay possible with the least dialogue/story-driven stuff.

Maybe play something else. The combat is satisfying, but it’s the whole of the combat, progression, world, story and characters that make it a good game. I grew to really like some of the characters and I became invested in the story even though I typically don’t care for story games.

You have to do missions to level up and get new abilities. Most of them are “go to a place and kill bad guys”, fetch quests, and running around to talk to people. You will have bursts of action and then running or driving from place to place in between. If you are skipping out on the story, the characters, and the world then I think the remaining gameplay loop is kind of boring.

I'm down with grinding and killing bad guys on loop actually. I wish "Free Guy" was a game because that looked fun to play.
