I like Cyberpunk a lot better than the Witcher. It's a much better shooter than the Witcher is a hack and slash.
The Witcher is better in terms of world building and story choices, but gameplay? It's no contest to me. The swordplay in the Witcher isn't good, and spells, grenades, and oils are mostly just passwords to memorize for different monsters that don't really play different
It doesn’t matter. We’re not comparing two mechanics. Cyberpunk is not a narrow shooter like Quake 3 or something like that. Both are tremendously ambitious games and both should be judged as a whole. Awards, recognition and cultural legacy of TW3 speak for themselves.
Which means subjective opinions are allowed to exist. The Witcher is not an objectively better game than Cyberpunk. You like it better. You don't have the right to say someone is wrong for enjoying a game that has gameplay that isn't terrible more than a game that does.
You're the one telling someone he's wrong about something opinion based because he values actual gameplay in a video game. That is not a statement that is capable of having legitimacy.
Yes… But there are people who professionally do this. Worldbuilders. They are clearly material dependent. Witcher 4 will probably meet the high expectations.

Of course they are. World builders can only spend so long on one given project, and have to tie their work in with prior material, then on a sequel they get a chance to explain events in the time gap as well as expand on more bits.
Look at the Elder Scrolls series. A lot of the lore in Skyrim was written nearly 20 years before the release of that game. And Oblivion massively expanded on things introduced in Daggerfall
I have a lot of criticism for The Witcher 3, but one thing I really appreciated was making lore and character background available for reading. It really helped with this newcomer’s understanding of the world and story. (And later, with my understanding of the TV series.)
Well, it is now that every game takes so long to develop. That’s the unfortunate part of long dev cycles. Imagine asking people to play morrowind before recommending Skyrim to them. That seems wild but then you remember how long it took to get games like Fallout 4 or breath of the wild. Don’t do that and you end up with a series like Metro which are amazing games but have prerequisites that lead to a more niche following.
