Why are you hyped about Cyberpunk 2077?

Yup.
I'm sorry... what? Aside from having completely different combat styles (swords & magic vs guns), the combat in RDR2 is awful (as are the controls for everything you do). Witcher 3's combat is actually enjoyable if you play on the highest difficulty and use interesting builds (i.e. non-Quen magic & alchemy).
I never did give a damn about GTAs but if the writing okay I'm fine with people being hyped for it
I loved Witcher 1, Witcher 2, and Witcher 3, and the idea of them creating a cyberpunk openworld game seems great.
It's on the radar but I'm not sold just because of Witcher 3. I'll wait for metacritic reviews and word of mouth here before jumping on the bandwagon. I hope it ends up being great.
The Witcher 3 is one of the most beloved games of all time, no shit people are excited for the next big project from its developer...
I'm in the mood for a real RPG. I feel like I've been playing with lots of RPG systems in recent single player games but I have hope that this will have the real character building that I want.
I like RPGs, I like Cyberpunk stuff, sounds like a good game to watch for.
Not a big fan of the Witcher 3, but the bits of gameplay I've seem from Cyberpunk looked good.

First thing I thought of was an updated Shadowrun. Its one of my fav games of all time. Hoping Cyberpunk can recapture some of that magic.
Cyberpunk is my favorite genre of fiction. For ages now I've wanted an open world Cyberpunk game on a scale similar to The Elder Scrolls, but no one has ever delivered. CDPR has the both the talent and the money to really deliver on this. 2077 is basically a dream game for me.
Cyberpunk 2020 is one of the most memorable tabletop RPGs I have ever played, and seeing it realized by the devs who made TW3 is like a dream come true.
Plus, Mike Pondsmith, the creator of the aforementioned game, is 100% on board. I understand that lots of folks don't get how awesome that is, but it has me hyped.

The Witcher 3 is my game of the generation thus far so I'm looking forward to anything from CDPR.
Cyberpunk basically looks like the closest thing to the Shadowrun game I always wanted. And Witcher 3 was a lot better than W2, which was a lot better than W1, so CDPR has a good record of improving from game to game.
I trust CDPR to release a fantastic game.
Aside from that, CP2077 specific things, I prefer sci-fi to fantasy. I prefer first person to third person. I prefer vast worlds vertically rather than expansive with a lot of emptiness. Shooter combat > melee combat. It looks to be like TW3 but better in every way, except pending the story which is a pretty big deal.

1. Single-player RPGs are perhaps my favourite genre
2. Cyberpunk is a sci-fi sub-genre I love
3. CDPR have a track record of making games I love
4. Great potential for tackling themes very pertinent to the modern world
5. The gameplay demo looked good

I'm not there yet. Cyberpunk is great, but open-world, GTA and especially first-person just loose me entirely. It becomes less of a cohesive experience with actually fun combat and more just chase the map marker, or run around aimlessly until it's time to get back to the regularly scheduled critical path.
It's like Deus Ex and a bunch of other science fiction things I love, from the guys who did Witcher 3. I mean you don't need much more than that.
That type of "cyberpunk" is my absolute favorite sub-genre of fiction, if you were to ask me what my dream game is...it's literally Cyberpunk 2077, it's been my most hyped game since the reveal trailer. Not to mention the Witcher 3 is one of the best western rpgs ever made (in my opinion) so if they can make a game in my favorite setting that has side stories as good as Witcher 3? I'm already assuming it will be my favorite game of all time.
It's the closest I'll ever feel to having Prey 2 in my hands. It will probably be even better than what Prey 2 was trying to be.
And the feel of this trailer:
and this:
The shooting gameplay of Cyberpunk even looked as fun as Syndicate for 360/PS3.

You're wasting your time, overblowing the 'terrible cancer-inducing combat' in Witcher 3 is a favorite past-time around here. Meanwhile you can watch any number of playthroughs on youtube with people that actually know how to play the game.
And also the complaints generally about Geralt being 'slow' or unresponsive (nothing compared to a Rockstar game btw), but these folks seem to never have reached any of the Ciri portions, where the combat is tight, fast, responsive, et all. Because she's a demi-god and that makes sense, and Geralt is a witcher and has limits.
Anyway, it's dying on a dumb hill. Witcher 3 having bad combat has become a lazy 'fact'.
There hasn't been a single open world cyberpunk game until now. And CDPR has a track record of delivering a great game.
Me reading OP's question with the knowledge that Cyberpunk is many months away:
And, unlike Rockstar they have good writers. Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.
And, unlike Rockstar they have good writers. Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.
To me Rockstar's only issue is that their scenario writers, main cutscene writers, and gameplay writers need to talk to each other more, because each one disagrees with the other in terms of how the main character(s) should be.
Always been my dream to play a cyberpunk-themed open world game. The trailer showed a world a bit different from what I imagined, and the game's FPV, but there's still a lot to like about it.
Plus, I played Witcher 3 for the first time last year and it's every bit as good as people say it is; and I don't usually like western rpgs.

The Witcher 3 was amazing and I can't wait for this game, but in all honesty I think as far as the cyberpunk aesthetic everything looks too bright and clean. It's missing a lot of the dark grit that comes along with that setting. My only complaint so far.
Finally getting a proper Cyberpunk game from a Rpg developer, that has a proven record with said genre.
An i loved the source material and love the Cyberpunk genre period.

Very hyped, interested to see how CDPR handle more of a player created character and If they can provide the same level of writing that a lot of Witcher had in a new setting. Also anxiously excited to see if the same sex romance options are as in-depth as Triss and Yennifer, and handled well.
CDPR are masterful at world building and cyberpunk is something that offers a lot of possibilities
I'm looking forward to all the "visual downgrade" comments and videos that will be posted everywhere.
I think I'm gonna try to do that VR thing. I forgot what it's called but you can make any game VR pretty much. I don't know...
