the irate fan army already being fully formed for this game (i read the replies, my fault) is obviously not high on the list of horrible things going on right now but i feel like in a normal year i would be allowed to get mad about it
Performance on PC isnāt super great either. I have an i9 and an RTX 2080. I play at 1440p with ray tracing on and thatās only possible because of DLSS, which I have to set to performance mode instead of quality. So the game kinda has this washed out look to it that reminds me of the time I played LA Noire in 720p instead of 1080 because the digital faces just looked way cooler that way. The lighting so far is incredible though, those rays are really doing work. I like the graphics Iām getting and itās running at close to 60 fps, so thatās fine. My arch nemesis features heavily in the game and thatās the dreaded pop in. This will bother me to no end Iām sure so any chance for āimmersionā is already out of the window for me personally. I really, really canāt stand pop in. Shitās on ultra already so it seems thatās just the way the game is.
The character creator is rather forgettable but I manged to make a vanilla male caucasian face Iām happy with. The only hair color that works is brunette and everything else looks like shit. You canāt make a blond or red or something more exotic that doesnāt look like a graphical glitch. I donāt like the physique of the dude I created but thereās absolutely nothing you can customize about it. Except for the dick. Iām playing Penis 1, which is the uncut one and all my role playing options will be guided by this early choice. Iāll make every deep, moral decision as an uncut penis haver
I chose the Nomad start, not because I like hillbillies - I donāt and would have rather started as Corpo Gordon Gecko style dude - but I wanted to start outside of Night City and make my way there. That sounds like a cool start.
Spent about half an hour fiddling with the graphics settings as soon as I was in the game proper. Thatās PC gaming and not a point of criticism - I like doing that.
The first car you drive as Nomad already feels good, so I think they got the driving physics right.
Had my first minor bug about 2 minutes into the game. Will post screenshots later.

I donāt know about this game, manā¦ The part outside of Night City is like 10 minutes long and ends with a first person montage where your character gets to do Cool Stuff that I wish I had gotten to play instead of just watch. I donāt think Iāve ever seen a first person montage/cutscene like that in a videogame so thatās cool and all but settling into a new city is something I have fond memories of and I feel kind of robbed that I didnāt get to do that here.
After the cutscene, which is very reminiscent of the Smack My Bitch Up music video, itās half a year or so later and you get to play the tutorial. The tutorial is quick and painless, itās fine.
Iāll play more tomorrow but I donāt really find the atmosphere very enticing up to now.

I started playing the witcher 3 recently and it really dampened my enthusiasm for this game. Iāve played maybe 15 hours and I just think itās kind of worse than witcher 2 in every way. and I didnāt particularly ~love~ witcher 2 either

is witcher 1 good?
I played several hours into it years ago and it wasnāt a bad time. I honestly kind of think it works better in the diablo-style dungeon crawler framework than an action RPG. the controls in witcher 2 were so clunky. they are arguably clunkier in witcher 3, or maybe it just feels that way because my expectations were too high. riding your horse feels just a little too much like riding on a quake func_train. just lots of weird stiff things like that. open world games demand good movement and witcher 3 just doesnāt quite get there.

if you havenāt seen it thereās a menu option that that reduces the realistic animation blends when turning or changing direction that are a large reason the game feels awkward
still, itās definitely a world of looking not touching

Iām guessing this will happen often. NPCs in weird poses in weird placesā¦ I never found out where these two dudes were originally supposed to be and if theyāre meant to be sitting on top of each other
But damn, look at that lighting! Look at how his shirt is getting that red light off of the hood of the carā¦ thatās just gorgeous and it really puts you in the scene to see that in motion while youāre playing, not gonna lie

The dialog system is really weird. You can repeat some choices and it ends up looking really strange. Very āshoot the hingesā
I think this was a bug. The dude just kept disappearing when I got too close to him. Other NPCs didnāt do thisā¦ Guess he did trick me

The first action sequence in the game for me was kinda funny. I was wrestling with the controller and didnāt hit very many shots but the game didnāt seem to care. I got curious and replayed that scene just now. This is the result
Truly the next level in interactive fiction
