If it were just broken I'd deal. All AAA games are broken and QA's job is never done. (Valhalla having a [prolific game breaking bug still after being out for 3 weeks is horsedonk though).
But I keep hearing 'uninspired' and 'nothing we haven't seen before' when people are talking about it.

i mean the hype was completely out of hand and it was never going to change the axis tilt of the world. but the atmosphere alone is worth experiencing imo. it makes me feel the same as when I stepped foot into Rapture the first time and Bioshock is one of my favorite games.

it's basically serviceable gameplay as a platform to provide a terrific environment.

Ugh. Dunno why developers keep putting in intricate character creation elements when you barely even see the character.

I totally agree. At least Fallout let you switch to third to see your character. I'm guessing this one doesn't allow that?

people went into it expecting really deep transhumanism and man vs machine kind of stuff (which it may have! its a huge game) instead of a sarcastic 80s inspired vision of the future. which is entirely mike pondsmiths style.

turns out the video game is just a video game unfortunately.

anyway, love it when the dick wacky waves out of my pants goty

Nope.

If they added a third person camera it would solve a big issue I have with the game in the the stealth in first person *kofi voice* suuuuUUUuuuUUUUuucks

game has a mirror in your apartment if you would like to gaze at your horrific visage. right now it's about a 50% chance that your clothes disappear when you use it but all actions have consequences

there's also a paper doll in the inventory as well

Yes, we have feathers--but the muscles of men.
What if you had a friend named Sirus and he was really into experimental music and there was this crazy bunch of bear-loving musicians who dressed themselves up like bears and were in a band called 2077.

And you saw him watching a video of that band and you were like,

“Hey Si! Bear Punk?”
“2077,” he says with a smile.

I am one of those people who has the modern bleeding-edge computer and updated everything and Cyberpunk runs very smoothly and prettily up until it crashes so hard that my entire video driver shuts down and the computer has to be rebooted, so after five tries that all failed between character creation and the combat tutorial, I'm gonna say maybe the game wasn't ready for primetime.

Yea my Bros PC is the same way and the game doesn’t crash but the AI seemed to frequently just shut completely down. The weirdest glitch is still the open world going into full blown open war constantly in what are supposed to be peaceful areas watching other’s streams and random things like exploding for no reason killing NPCs or sending them into squat mode permanently.

Can I share an unpopular opinion? I've never been able to get into New Vegas the way others have. I don't see what makes it so good that it's always held up as the lofty standard. I can see the interesting story hooks of kotor 2 but not New Vegas. I bounce off it every time I try.

I felt the same way for a long time but it turns out that I just hate the start of the game and the rest, especially the DLC's is very good.

I want both the next Mass Effect and Dragon Age games to be good but I dont hold out a lot of hope with the horrible management at that company. Hopefully the two who left were the problems and they are replaced by solutions. But those games will have to win me over first - it can't be taken as a granted anymore that a Bioware game will be good.

But man am I excited about all the Yakuzies coming to PC. I don't even finish beating them all but I will buy them all just so I can support the series because I love what they represent. I hope they bring Judgement too.

I modded it like crazy so it was the best of 'em but I'll say all the beth stuff is way way overrated.

Also thanks for posting the Tyranny EGS thing. dunno if I'll ever get around to it with game pass being as good as it is but hey, more games to play one day.

At least I think that was you.

I don’t think the overarching story is amazing. what makes it so good is all the little stories within subplots, and the insane number of ways you can resolve quests.

In new vegas you pretty much know that Benny’s in Vegas, you could in theory run straight there instead of following the road. Then once you meet him you can either kill him, seduce him, talk his right hand man into betraying him. Depending on what you do Benny might end up dead, or still in charge of the casino, or crucified at Caesar’s camp. At Caesar’s camp you have yet more choices around Benny’s fate which I can’t remember off the top of my head. I think you can let him suffer there, or ask to fight him in the arena, or just shoot him.

In fallout 4 you find the dude that shot your spouse, specifically via the questline the game gives you, and you kill him. That’s it.
