Games rad, did the nomad opening and a reroll. 45fps on a 1080ti ultrawide 1440p is killing my vibe a bit though. Gonna wait for the 3080 to rock up and some time off to rly get amongst it. Driving kinda rear end as expected but the shooting is better than i thought. Melee is fine? Bit more nuanced than your average first person rpg but not by much.
Atmosphere is top notch but the bugs kill it at times.
60fps is not some big duck achievement
60 is bare minimum for me these days and there's a reason people spend a bunch on 144hz monitors.

This was some serious poo poo and I ran through a ton of emotions.
First I empathized, because if not them, it really would be someone else. Also the coercion. They really didn't want to be there. They'd been forced. They didn't want to do this. Maybe I believe it. Maybe I don't. But if the dialogue ended there I just would have let them go because I don't want to murder potentially innocent people. I'd rather let them go even if that is the wrong decision. I the person want to give them the benefit of the doubt. In game V tosses and turns at night (maybe) trying to decide if they did the right thing in letting them go.
Then the son asks me if I want child snuff porn and I'm then I'm instantly revolted, but I don't just immediately kill them. They're not faceless enemies. They have context. They're defenseless people, coerced and begging for their lives, they're family with connections to one another, but they're also morally repugnant and trying to involve me in their evil. And so my internal calculus is not if I should let them go, but if I should kill the father or the son first. I decide to kill the father, the son freaks out and if I kill the son, the father freaks out. If you toss in a grenade when you leave, they both freak out. There was no way to come out of that situation clean. So I waste both and try to forget, but it seriously stuck with me because one immediately starts wailing if you kill one of them first. They care about one another, but they're still awful people. It hit hard because I've met people like that before. Not only that level, but still, morally repugnant people who still care about one another.
Later on in a side mission, I see three cops beating a corpo in a 1000 Eddie suit to death and I ask what's up. The cops are hostile, but not drawing guns and the guy isn't dead yet. They just want me to move along. I press and I make the check and they tell me why they're doing it because I'm curious. The corpo was basically using electronic date rape drugs on club girls and they were so powerful that they could kill the victim. You tell the cops, rightly, that if they beat this guy to death, the corps will use the body cam footage and these cops will die. I hate the cops, but he's not just corpo scum, but he's a rapist, but he's also connected. So this is a complicated situation..
Now I don't really have a reason to linger, at least I thought I didn't. I thought I didn't have a reason to kill this guy or spare the cops, because again, gently caress cops, but the reason that V gives for wanting to kill the corpo date rapist who accidentally murdered someone is compelling. I thought that the cops can do whatever, everyone in this situation sucks. But V drops the most compelling reason for me to kill this corpo date rapist murderer when the cop presses me for why I would want to kill this guy.
"Killing corpo trash like this? This is how I unwind."
And I had to stop the game for a full minute and pace around my room because that is just amazing characterization. The corpos are despised and people will gently caress them up, even murder them if they get a chance. They are not only wealthy, but possess privilege to rape and kill at will. If not for street justice, he'd walk away, because it's street justice or no justice.
You actually don't get the "this is how I unwind" answer without being a street kid (I think). But you, as a street kid, hate the corps and that if you're corp connected, you're essentially a made man or woman, mob style. You're untouchable. So I talk to the guy when he's half dead but conscious, get him to spill, see if I can get him to pay me to let him go. I actually already believe the cops at this point. Not because they're cops, but because they walk away. It's not a paid hit. They just want him dead. So at this point I'm interrogating him to make sure they're not mistaken. I can't con him. Skill is too low. But hey, what's running a con on this guy when you're about to execute that corpo rapist murderer? Or at least I'm trying to confirm that. He makes it easy because he lives in a world largely devoid of consequences. So as he's making excuses which are like, "Hey, you know how it is. A girl doesn't want to gently caress you, sometimes you need a little extra to get your dick wet" and he's lying about bad drugs. He doesn't get bad drugs. He's not getting poo poo off the street corner. He's getting the designer poo poo and what he got will gently caress you up worse than the normal poo poo and he knows that. Mybe someone dies, maybe they don't. So he's a corpo rapist who doesn't give a gently caress whether the girls he wants to gently caress live or die. He wants what he wants and he doesn't care. Sex. Consensual or not. And sometimes that process ends up with a body and he's trying to justify that to me. And he's wealthy enough that he could just pay for sex. So what he wants isn't about sex really. It's about power. The power to do whatever he wants and the thrill of getting away with it.
Unable to con him out of money, I draw the katana and lop off his head while he's making excuses. It pops off like a champagne cork. Immediate job success. I walk by the cops on the way back out of the alley as they drive away. It was so satisfying. And I can imagine that the V who dealt with father-son kiddy snuff editors who stared into the face of some real evil goes this way. You see the evil in the streets and you're not going for some nice, tidy, legal resolution. There is no legal resolution from the state. This is Night City. Justice doesn't come down from the state. It comes up from the street and that justice is swift and brutal and lethal. Doling it out does make the world a better place, even if in a terrible way. That corpo trash will never rape another woman again. Never murder another woman in his attempt to get in their pants because they turn him down. He will never abuse his privilege again. Privilege canceled by a loving sword stroke.
And I can really believe that V lives in a world where she murders corpo trash to unwind. And playing a female V where the gangers and corpsec are constantly calling me a oval office and other gendered slurs, I imagine that killing a corpo rat rapist murderer with a motherfucking katana really helps her unwind.
This chance encounter evoked so many emotions in me and it was very different. If the state were just, you'd just hand him over to the cops, who wouldn't be beating him to death. You need to make a choice. Letting him leave dooms others. There is no strictly clean, moral choice. But there is a choice that is more correct.
All of this is not just the story that's told here. It is the context of the city that interacts with the small story. When CDPR decides to tell a story, that story is frequently good and when it lands, it's amazing.
yeah man i killed the bd guys too

Anthem was obviously DOA even before the hilarious leaks surrounding its production. While i long for its death the anthem thread has had some of the best content Games has seen in years.

It’s still so weird that they don’t have a separate “treasure” class for items, so that the game treats a Diamond necklace the same as a dirty back alley dildo

about how the game isnt actually a buggy mess and the day 1 patch will fix everything and/or people arguing about trans stuff.
