this is a weird thing to assume.

montages don't happen often in games, so when they do, they're going to stand out, for better or for worse, and it seemed like they wanted to try something different.

do I deny some of the story could have been cut? no, but I don't necessarily feel like it happened during the opening montage.

and let's say that the montage was used to skip through a chunk of the story like you're trying to argue, it being used as a replacement for more fleshed out content doesn't mean the game is unfinished, it just means that a different storytelling method was used to help complete it.

In this case, no it's really not that weird of a thing to assume, because we can see what happened with Cyberpunk's development with our own eyes from the game itself. That journalist Jason Schreier's documentation after the fact just confirmed what we already suspected, and it was even worse than what we originally imagined. They cut corners in every aspect of the game to reach the 2020 deadline. Unfinished.

And there's nothing wrong with montages in itself, it's the way Cyberpunk used that one that makes it obvious they were trying to patch up a gap in the game's storytelling.
