Pennywise 35,841 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 EDIT: So the game is out. I've been playing on my gaming laptop, and so far there were two game-breaking bugs - they affected my ability to play main story quests. Spoiler one was right after that meat production plant, and the other was at the first quest with arasaka tower I have an i7 and gtx1660ti, and graphics were okay on high settings. There are lots of visual bugs, with hovering cars (when they are not supposed to ), hovering people, NPC's that appear out of nowhere, etc. I found the worldbuilding shallow, because NPCs seem very... empty. From an open-world rpg I would expect better immersion, too. The story seems fun enough so far, but I don't know where it goes yet. I just said goodbye to my bank account and bought the game. Normally I'd wait for a sale, since it definitely will happen in a few months, but I REALLY need the escapism right now . It is coming in two days. Are any of you gheys gonna play? Are you excited? Do you think it'll be disappointing since they made us wait and wait only to crunch their work in a short amount of time? I love everything futuristic/transhumanist, so my bussy is READY. I really hope it won't disappoint (and will be easier to navigate through than the Witcher games) The Grimes song for the game: Grimes' DJ Mix for the game: http://music.apple.com/us/album/this-story-is-dedicated-to-all-those-cyberpunks-who/1543803746 Metascore: 91 - 50 Reviews - Universal Acclaim Links for first reviews (some might be spoilery): Spoiler Washington Post (N/A) TechRadar (4/5) GamesRadar (100/100) GameInformer (90/100) Vice (N/A) PCGamer (78/100) Kotaku (N/A) Polygon (N/A) Venture Beat (3/5) IGN (90/100) The Verge (N/A) Gamespot (7/10) vg247 (5/5) Edit: As someone shared in this thread, apparently the game creators made problematic/transphobic commentary during the promotions, and there is somewhat trans-fetishism in the game - or at least it is perceived as such by some people. I didn't know this before buying it, however, if you are sensitive to it (as I usually am), you may want to think about it first. Edit 2: There are seizure-inducing scenes in the game, with some scenes extremely similar to light patterns doctors use to knowingly cause seizures, so be careful y'all. So long ggd, it was nice while it lasted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's said to be an open-world futuristic RPG, and has been HIGHLY anticipated for a while. Grimes also has a role as a pop star in the game So long ggd, it was nice while it lasted.

Pennywise 35,841 Posted December 7, 2020 Author Share Posted December 7, 2020 I was going to buy Baldur's Gate, but the futurism seemed better because I JUST finished Detroit: Become Human, which promptly became like my second favorite video game ever So long ggd, it was nice while it lasted.

MadreMonster 2,584 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I’m really tempted to just wait it out a bit before I buy the game cause I don’t want it to be super buggy/messy. I’m nervous with all the delays that it still isn’t where they want it to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They say it's buggy as hell, but those can be fixed tbh. I need something to escape to otherwise I'll have to actually write my thesis So long ggd, it was nice while it lasted.
