I agree. I personally like Cyberpunk 2077 more myself. While it might not be as polished, it’s more entertaining and fun to play IMO. I’m fairly positive that I’m going to like the other open world games that came out last year (Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla, Immortals: Fenyx Rising, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Watch Dogs: Legion) more as well since they look more enjoyable to me. I think that Red Dead Redemption II is a good overall experience, but as an actual game it’s somewhat dull to play IMO. While its story, characters and world are all topnotch, its gameplay is lacking when it comes to fun factor IMO.

I would hope not considering that we’re not even a full week into 2021 yet. The entirety of 2021 for me is going to be devoted to working on my massive PS4 backlog which I continue to add to due to all of the game deals and sales that are continuously happening. I’m currently playing Cyberpunk 2077, and I’m about 60 hours into it now. I’m on the final act of the story, but I still have a lot of side stuff to do. As much as I’ve been enjoying it, I kind of want to wrap it up soon so that I can move onto something else.

No game is, some just happen to come closer to appealing to the majority more than others. It’s definitely detailed, but lacks depth IMO. Its core design and gameplay mechanics are fairly basic. Ghost of Tsushima is the best open world game of 2020 IMO, but I don’t consider Red Dead Redemption II to be a 2020 game anyway since it originally came out in 2018 and that’s when I played it.

These always crack me up.

You don’t swap it, you get a free digital copy of the PS5 version when it comes out if you own the PS4 version.

I agree, but The Witcher III is more of an adventure RPG that has you embark on an epic journey across the land similar to The Elder Scrolls games while Cyberpunk 2077 is more of a mission driven action shooter that primarily takes place in one big open city similar to games like Grand Theft Auto, Saints Row and Sleeping Dogs.

Despite it not quite being the game that I was expecting it to be and it failing to meet my expectations, I’m still having a great time with it. I like its story, characters, world, gameplay, music, etc., and it’s packed with stuff to do. There’s a lot of exciting things that happen in it, and it’s hard for me to put down once I start playing. But unfortunately its bugs, glitches and jank hurt the overall experience, and are what I have a problem with the most. While I think that The Witcher III is a higher quality game overall, I’m enjoying Cyberpunk 2077 more since I like the futuristic sci-fi cyberpunk theme and gameplay/combat more. I’m 40 hours into it now, and I’m not ready for it to be over anytime soon. I’m doing just about everything that there is to do in it, so I expect it to take me a long time to complete.

It lacks the same overall quality and polish of The Witcher III, and seems like it was made by a different developer IMO. Like I said before, it seems like something that Techland would have made. It has a Eurojank feel to it that The Witcher III doesn’t have, and a big part of that is due to the amount of bugs, glitches and jank that it has. But l also agree with you that it somewhat feels like a mess of unrealized ideas and potential. It seems like something that went through several different design changes during the course of its development. It’s a rather ambitious game with an exciting scripted main storyline, and a ton of optional side content a lot of which is the quality of main mission content found in other similar games. So I can see how a game of this magnitude of storytelling, character interaction and sheer amount of gameplay content put into a large varied open world could be difficult to polish to a shiny sheen, but it still should be in a better state than it is considering the developer behind it and the amount of time that they worked on it.

I don’t think that it did for anyone, it’s just not the game that we were all expecting it to be based on how CD Projekt Red presented it over the years. I’m still enjoying it, but it’s far from the game that I was envisioning it being.

While it looks and runs a little better now on the PS4 compared to how it was at launch, it still has a lot of bugs, glitches and jank. Nothing that I’ve experienced so far has been game breaking, but its performance problems are still annoying and frustrating at times. I’m personally enjoying the game enough to put up with a lot of its technical issues, but YMMV.

I haven’t gotten it yet, but I plan to soon along with some other new games that have also gotten cheaper recently such as Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla, Watch Dogs: Legion and Yakuza: Like a Dragon. I just got Immortals: Fenyx Rising which is a game that I’ve been wanting, and I’ve been buying a lot of digital/indie games as well because the PlayStation Store has been having some great deals. My backlog is burying me, and I continue to add to it.

I’ve had various prompts including ones for combat controls and driving controls stacked together taking up the entire right side of my screen. Hooray for boobies.

Yeah, I just bought it. I couldn’t resist it for that price.

I’ve been gaming since Pong (yeah I’m old ), and it was during the 16-Bit generation when I was in my 20s when I started preferring to play as female characters in games because not only were they usually more acrobatic, agile and fast which I preferred to their often more sluggish and tank-y male counterparts, but they were also more appealing to look at as well IMO. I’ve chosen to play as female characters when given the option ever since, and games with female main protagonists have been some of my favorites over the years. It’s gotten to the point now where I don’t even really want to play games with male main protagonists anymore, and only want to play ones with female main protagonists or ones that let you choose to play as a female character which is thankfully becoming more of the norm. There are of course games that have what I consider to be really good male main protagonists such as Jin in Ghost of Tsushima for example, and I like playing as them just fine. But in general I prefer playing as female characters in games, and I will often pass on playing ones with male main protagonists that I don’t care for and don’t want to play as.

From my experience every game that allows you to choose between a male and female protagonist the female voice actor is always better, and it’s true for this game as well IMO. A lot of the time male voice actors for main characters in games (especially ones that allow you to choose your gender) seem to try too hard to sound like cool tough guys, but end up sounding douche-y lMO. Can you have a romantic relationship with Panam if you play as female V? I’ve only played the main story missions with Judy and Panam so far, so I might feel differently about them when I play their specific side missions. Yeah, the game in general seems like it was designed with V being female and I can’t really picture the character interactions (especially with Johnny) working quite the same with V being male. I plan on playing the game again as male V just to see what the experience is like with him.

I’m at the same point in the game as you are, but unlike you I can have sex with Judy because I’m playing as female V. Judy is a cutie. Everyone seems to really like Panam, but she doesn’t really do it for me for some reason.

I pick the best armor that looks the coolest to wear. Nah, you’ll come across higher armored shirts as you make it further in the game. I see my character in game a lot because I do the majority of my traveling on a motorcycle in third person view. Because those aren’t Eurojank games like this is. This game even outdoes Dead Island when it comes to bugs, glitches and jank. It feels like a Techland game instead of a CD Projekt Red one. I also stealthily got to his car undetected, and he followed me to it but wouldn’t get in it once we reached it. I was like WTF? Thankfully he just stood next to it while I proceeded to kill all of the enemies, and then he got in it after they were all defeated. But if that’s not a bug, then it’s pretty stupid that you have to kill all of the enemies before he will get in the car especially if you reach it undetected.

I’m playing on a PS4 Slim, and I’ve experienced quite a few bugs, glitches, jank and the game has crashed on me three times so far. But it does seem to improve with each new update, and there seems to be less issues the further that I get into the game. I agree, if people don’t like long beginnings in games that take their time getting the player invested into the story, characters and world then they shouldn’t be playing RPGs IMO. I was expecting to play out all of the events that were shown in the early montage, but instead we’re just given a few quick scenes with goofy comedic music playing in the background. But the real disappointment are the life paths IMO. You’re just thrown into them, and they’re extremely short. They were made out to be similar to the origin stories in Dragon Age Origins, but they’re nowhere near as in-depth and lengthy as those are. The game rushes you to the main game too quickly IMO. While I’m definitely enjoying the game, it’s not what I was envisioning that it was going to be all of these years. I was expecting something more than what is essentially Deus Ex meets Grand Theft Auto.

Alice: Madness Returns Batman Arkham series Blades of Time Captain America: Super Soldier Conan Dead to Rights: Retribution DmC Enslaved: Odyssey to the West The First Templar Golden Axe: Beast Rider Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice Knights Contract Lollipop Chainsaw The Lord of the Rings: War in the North Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands Remember Me Tron: Evolution Viking: Battle For Asgard X-Blades X-Men Origins: Wolverine

This looks really good, so much in fact that it has become one of my most anticipated games right now. I really like third person action/adventure/platform/puzzle games and open world games, and this looks like a combination of the two.

She's thicc, and I like it.

I'm cool with that.

I was thinking the same exact thing when I kept seeing reviews for Re-Reckoning mentioning how far we've come since the release of the original back in 2012. Current gaming seems like one step forward, two steps back as far as I'm concerned.

Sounds good, I'll probably buy it sooner rather than later after all.

Yeah, and I think that's really cool but I would rather get the game after some of the additional characters/story content are available instead of getting it now and having to wait for it. If I was interested in playing the game multiplayer then I would get it now, but since I'm only interested in the single player content it's something that I can wait to get when it's cheaper and has even more content to offer.
