Great Story & Setting, but no Witcher 3
Addressing the reported bugs (as of today). I had only 1 in my 20ish hours of play, it was just a character walking through a parked car. I know how to read recommended settings, so I tweak my PC as needed. Too many people seem to not know how to do this. Dropping to 2k resolution the game ran fine with my 2060 Super. Anyone complaining about "mediocre gunplay" apparently came into this game thinking it was a FPS. It's not & don't expect it to be. The gunplay is serviceable, not bad, not great ... it works. You get pistols, rifles, shotguns, etc the usual. Bladework is better, depending on where you swing your katana (or whatever) parts will fly off. However, DO NOT think this is a FPS game. It's not and CDPR was clear that it was an RPG first & FPS second. I didn't play the pen & paper game, so I went in blind as to the story and setting. The life paths really change how your game starts and affect dialogue choices later in the game. You will spend most of your time in Night City, but later on you can go to the outskirts for more open wide areas. There is A LOT to do. Besides main missions, many side activities pop up all the time. You will not be wanting for things to do. There is no one way to do anything, every situation has many ways to tackle it. Using weapons earns you xp with that weapon, so (for example) the more you use a pistol the better you'll get with it. This is in addition to benefits you'll get from Attributes and Perks. Story choices you make can have consequences later on. Most will not be apparent immediately. A small downside (for me) is the first person perspective. I always find it is less, not more, immersive. Occasionally in a fight with multiple opponents you can lose track of where enemies are since you have the 1P tunnel vision. Sometimes audio will fade a bit until you actually turn to face the person speaking. Not as good as Witcher 3, but still great story. 1P perspective took off 1 star.
Is this helpful to you?
