I played for about 5 and a half hours and just beat the Prologue I guess? (got to act 2) I had zero hype for the game going in so here are some hot takes free from the hype train: Game is overall good/fun, I'm enjoying it and will keep playing it but I'm not hooked to the screen or anything here. Not much open world stuff to do and most of it is pretty bland (a map marker where when you show up there are three enemies standing around that aren't aggressive until you shoot one of them in the head is a pretty common activity) Of those 5.5 hours probably 3 of them have just been spent sitting back in my chair watching things happen but there are dumb button prompts you have to press constantly to progress through what are essentially cutscenes, and lots of timed dialog options, so getting up to do something else while watching a cutscene isn't really possible. I The gunplay is okay. Nothing to write home about, not offensively bad either. It feels sort of... sluggish? There's waaaaaay too much loot and most of it is meaningless and only exists to be disassembled to get generically named "components" that are used for a bad crafting system. You end up wearing dumb clownsuits constantly like hotpants with a military flak jacket and helmet. The character progression system sucks. Like, it's really bad. None of the abilities are cool or interesting ("Get more components from disassembling", "gain 2% movespeed for 10 seconds after killing an enemy", "reload time reduced by 10%"), it feels like there are no noticeable changes as skills or attributes level up. I'm level 8 and haven't bothered to open the character menu to spend any of my points since level 4 because there's just no point, it won't make me any more effective at what I do. Hopefully this changes later. The guns all feel identical and the most I've looked at the stats is sorting them by DPS and picking the best one. Lots of detail in the environments and just walking around looking at things has been the best part  There's lots of world building and it's exciting to keep walking around to learn more about the past of Night City. There just aren't many ways to interact with it.Keanu's character is extremely annoying. Every quest is extremely linear so far except for dialog options. You're pretty railroaded into the path you take through environments and at least in the prologue there hasn't been a single opportunity to take another path, other than choosing different dialog options. There aren't vents to sneak through or different mechanical ways to accomplish a quest, just different dialog choices. deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 17:12 on Dec 10, 2020 |

Mr. Pool posted:I thought the "first 6 months in Night City" cutscene was weird too This one weird trick to save 12 months of production!  Good to know when to expect that tinge of disappointment. Played for 10 minutes on Xbone One X and there were 2 (minor) visual glitches within the first 30 seconds. Definitely turn off chromatic aberrations, film grain and motion blur. Performance seems fine for now, loading times are fine.

Phoix posted:Can't progress because during the early turret sequence the game keeps identifying a gun as an enemy so the sequence never ends. Welp!!! Quoting myself in case anyone else runs into this bug. There's a single enemy that isn't highlighted and you have to kill him last to prevent the game from flagging his gun as an enemy.

My girlfriend came in and the moment she took a look at the game a man came screaming down the apartment hallway and promptly ran through the wall On the floor beneath that, everyone was cowering with their head beneath their hands

Section Z posted:I trusted my "I bet these are mutually exclusive so I'll pick the harder one" instincts and picked the second option, which got me a Synapse fry or whatever quick hack. Basically Default Shock +1 (But lethal) It does not make this very clear that you GOT it, but it implies it with the cyber speak in the options. The thing about it is that the cleaned chip stays in your inventory, it even has a description stating as much. I noticed you can dismantle it but I didn't try, maybe you get the credits that way. If not giving it a sell value or something in a patch seems like an easy fix. The dialogue makes it pretty unambiguous you were supposed to get the money IMO

Oh yeah the loading screen from title is kinda broken on PS4 Pro. Part of the TV shows up on a black screen and then on the next screen you see a sliver of black where part of the background animation is showing.

It's a really weird decision in an otherwise very cool, thoroughly thought out quest

My machine is getting a bit long in the tooth i5 6600k with an RX-480 GPU and 16 GB RAM. The game defaulted me to Ultra/High settings (no ray tracing) and I figured that wasn't gonna work well but went with it anyways. So far the game runs great, haven't had any stuttering (that I've noticed). After all the reports of bugs from the other day I'm kind of floored at just how well the game runs.

My clothes disappear every time my character has to recline on a chair, so both Vektor and Judy got an eyeful. Other than that the only bug I ran into was meeting Jackie about the big job at that noodle stand, a nearby car randomly exploded mid-dialogue and Jackie continued telling me how pleased he was with himself while a whole car door flew between us from offscreen. Going all-in on blades and Cold Blood and it's working out for me so far.

5 minutes in and ran into two graphical glitches (PS4 Pro with an SSD, nomad beginning).
When I pulled out the cables to hotwire the car, the cable models duplicated. So v was holding a cable and there was also the cable still plugged in. Game engine itself still needs a lot of work if “bugs when loading assets” is a problem.

I will admit the flashback sequence where you play as overpowered Johnny Silverhand was pretty awesome. Dude shoots a flamethrower out of his metal arm if you quick attack. Wonder if that's generally unlockable later. Also it was kind of funny that the taxi AI was helping the doctor perform lifesaving surgery on you

Real talk, there doesn't seem to be any reason that this game is so unoptimized. Is there just some desire to not have loading, however brief, even when riding an elevator and poo poo? I mean, honestly, the game isn't interactive enough with the world or whatever to make high end computers run worse than they should.

The whole point of me wanting another car is so I wouldn't have to walk all the way to this quest spot I stopped for the night last night at exactly the point of seeing how far away it was lol. You can always just steal a car, it just isn't summonable and doesn't have your stash in the trunk

Baron posted:Has anyone found a way to change your appearance at all? I spent like an hour making my character and only later realized I didn't change her nail color and you see your own hands all the drat time. My nail polish is awful! My male V character has pink nails because apparently I looked at different nail polish options during character creation just to see them and decided against any of them because...why would I? It didn't fit what I was going for. Started the game. Bright pink nail polish. Perfect.

Mode 7 posted:Big videogame difficult to make. It's big but also not big sometimes. Like you can't interact with a lot of stuff, most of it is just static random elements. You can shoot stuff and it doesn't even leave a mark. That alone should make some areas run like a dream, enclosed, few NPCs, not a lot of lighting. But the game runs roughly the same everywhere.

My impressions so far are that the PC version is buggy in a "normal" big open world game on day 1 kind of way rather than the turbo hellbad  some of the reviews suggested, but on older consoles it's Real Bad for Real.
