Thanks, and yes, it is totally annoying. There's tons of games I'd love to actually play but just can't.
By the way, I agree with your assessment that some games are simply better suited for a first person perspective. I don't know if I perhaps created a wrong impression before, but I have never said that game devs should change their designs just so folks like myself can play all games under the sun (although jumping through hoops to tailor to small minorities is very much en vogue these days in other fields).
For Cyberpunk 2077 specifically, it's just a bit disappointing for me personally because I am a huge fan of The Witcher, and I'm sure a sci-fi RPG story could have been told using a similar mechanic. But, yes, it would have been a different game -- sadly, one that I could have actually played.
I also liked the old Resident Evil titles, and that series has now turned to first person too. O tempora, o mores!
Maybe mods will make it a reality in cyberpunk soon enough. I know that I,ve been planning on trying a witcher 3 playthrough with the first person mod.
