I laughed, but really it’ll probably arrive 1-2 years after consoles (but that felt like an eternity with GTAV). RDR2 took 1 year. RDR was said to be an impossible ^Undead Nightmare to port, but after 14 years they maybe kinda did it, baby! (We’ll see…)

I wonder if anybody remembers when it leaked Microsoft had a concept of a plan about restrictions on Xbox discs (used/shared), everyone gasped, Sony mocked them in a video about “sharing discs” on PS4 and became a turning point in the console wars…

Even a decade later: Remove discs at your peril! Half the reason I’ve even bought consoles is for Blu-ray movies (still unbeatable AV quality). Sony won both the console and disc drive wars FFS! Still not enough. “Line must go up more!”

I hope MS is at least mocking them back right now, for giggles. Before announcing a very similar thing next year…

I think this is what motivates me to play AC games the most: They really integrate accurate locations and history into their story (with plenty to read and learn about in menus, and even tour modes). I was especially impressed with Origins (Egypt) and Unity (France). Haven’t had time to play newer ones yet.

(And will sell millions more when finally available on something besides PlayStation.)

The Florida vibe is definitely oozing from this trailer. I can almost smell it, and quite frankly I’m disgusted. Bravo. I would’ve preferred the next GTA being somewhere else, but maybe this it exactly where it belongs.

My thoughts exactly. However, it excites me that Rockstar still managed to make RDR2, and it was a masterpiece. Even so, I never played “Online” MP mode, nor have I ever played GTA’s, and I hope they noticed, lol.

The patch notes are just super-detailed, no need to worry about game-breaking bugs IMO. Finished once on 1.63, then added PL and 2.1 and finished all at 100%. No infuriating bugs, 4-5 clean crashes to desktop. (PC, AMD Ryzen 2600, Radeon 6600 XT, 2K QHD res, high settings, RT off.)

It’s probably the best game I’ve ever played, honestly. Incredible work that is now well-polished, even 2.0. First 20-40 hours felt a bit underwhelming, but by the end I was blown away. And 2.0 adds a lot of fun. At 250+ hours now, new game and choices, still wanting to play every day.

Is it playable without VR hardware yet (officially)? Would love to play it, but… VR still seems like expensive gimmick to me.

Very nice summary, thanks. I just recently started CP77, about 30 hours in now. I will stick with 1.63 for this playthrough.

My notes: The story and writing seems mostly excellent and unique (but not near the magic and masterpiece of Witcher 3.) Feeling that development was chaotic (pieces cut, rearranged, “montage” with Jackie was jarring.). World seems quite empty, few “layers” (soulless, unpolished). Car controls are not great, very “floaty” and strange. Literally zero encounters with NCPD yet (lol?). Reminds of Deus Ex, but leaning more action FPS. Bugs still apparent (floating cars, missing items), but nothing game-breaking. Graphics underwhelming (city environment especially, characters better, mostly “very high” settings, but admittedly no HDR or ray-tracing).

Would rate 4 out of 5 for now, but a 3 is possible (hopefully not).
