Dreamcastguy beat the game and gave his impressions in a video before it was immediately removed. I only skimmed around a bit since I wasn't really in the mood to watch a 22 minute review for a game I'm definitely gonna play, but what little I heard was "everything is instant, there's no hidden loading times or anything" and then I skimmed near the end where he said "overall this is one of my favorite gaming experiences ever, and yes, I'm serious." So that's all I got. Was that the PC version he was playing? Curious if those load times apply to the next gen consoles as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see, though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fallout? 15 minutes ago, thedarkstark said: Deus Ex + GTA ^ This seems like a pretty good analogy. Deus Ex definitely seems like closest single game match to it. It's revolves around cybernetics and dangerous corporations, and like Deus Ex, puts a focus on allowing different ways to tackled the quests. But it's got a huge open world city and you can drive cars, which is where the GTA connection is. I think the closest in terms of quest design is probably The Witcher 3, which should be obvious since it's CDPR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenVectron Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Interesting. I've only played around 30 minutes of Witcher 3 and didn't really like it. However, I don't like 3rd-person action games, so that could have been why. It sounds like there will be different ways to complete missions...will most involve subterfuge and sneaking? Or is run-and-gun an option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedarkstark Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Its an rpg, you choose your playstyle, you can be a netrunner aka hacker and take over nearby technology to gain the upper hand, you can be steatlthy, tanky, a human weapon etc. etc. It's up to you obviously some playstyles will be easier or more viable depending on the scenario 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we should all accept the fact that any game that had to be finsihed during the pandemic is going to have a decent amount of bugs at launch. Its been true for most of the major releases this year since Ghost of Tsushima which was the last big release I personally bought that was pretty much bug free and polished. Working from home on these huge games is not conducive and if bugs are that much of a problem for you, folks should wait to buy and not get the game day one. I'm cool with bugs accept for the ones that waste time and break the game. Rage 2 has a game breaking bug that STILL hasn't been fixed and prevents you from finishing the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedarkstark Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Bugs obviously suck but they can be fixed, and those are the only major gripes I am seeing in most of these reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legend Posted December 7, 2020 Author Share Posted December 7, 2020 Re bugs: it's unfortunate, but expected. However, you can feel pretty confident that CDPR will continue to fix them and make the game better because they always do that. As it is The Witcher 3 is receiving yet another major update for HDR and ray tracing next year. But it's possibly worth waiting a bit longer if you don't need the game right now, like me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
