1. STOP ASKING TO COLLECT MY DATA! (CdProRed jumping on this train too. Using their most successful IP to do it) 2. Grass / trees are having issues. Grass is streched out. Way too long (obvious bug). Trees.. this is difficult. Not sure how to discribe it. It looks like a bunch of squares out of order. 3. Stutter here and there. 4. Some textures got an amazing overhall! While others didn't and have to sit next to the ones that did. Basically acting as the ugly child no one cares for. SMDH This is why I am not excited for any new game.
I gotta say, I disagree with others stating the game does not know what it wants to be. It defined it self perfectly in my opinion. Turn based, stealth. Which I really enjoyed. I do not play a lot of turn based games. Only the bigger ones like Xcom, RtoE (of course), and Wasteland2/3. And I'll be honest, RtoE, is the only I have beaten. The characters are awesome! Each having their own back stories, or just the spats back and forth. All of it really helped flesh out the character. I enjoyed listening to them quite a bit. I also loved the stealth. To the point I am not sure why more games do not use this mechanic? It gives the combat a nice twist. Taking your time, laying out the arena, and stricking when you think you have given yourself the upper hand. Going in and knowing stealth is your friend will get you much further. Going guns blazing is a sure fire way to get yourself snuffed. Not saying it is not possible, I am sure it is, and someone has done it. But RtoE cranks up the difficulty to find a nice balance, where stealth sould always be the first strat. In my opinion, hands down, no dispute! This game has one of the most beautiful maps I have ever seen. Bearded Ladies did an amazing job making this world feel like the apocolypse has come and nature took back over with zero hesitation. Seeing crumbled buildings, vines over take sign posts, half way torn down houses and towns, with lush tress / forests all around really brings this world together. Which makes scavenging all the more pleasent when combing top to bottom. Another detail I would like for games (like Wasteland3) to do, is make the map more vertical. I appreciate sneaking my through some of these maps, end up finding a building which allows me up to the second floor give me the height advantage in some fights. If you do not like stealth, or scavenging, then true, I would not recommend this game. But with fun dialuge, beautiful maps, stealth, fun turn based combat, in my opinion, we have a winner!
The game starts interesting, flashy, in your face action. Although story wise, I was barely hanging on to be honest. It does somewhat pick up for me, but Cyber really ran on hype more then anything. And it does not help that it can feel shallow enough to give off an Ubisoft vibe at times. No, I am not joking. The map takes NO time feeling in with the same mundane activity. Some, are intersting, true. But a lot are, steal this, kill that, move on. So you open your map, select, go to, complete, etc, etc. Where as Witcher3, I usually just ran in a direction. Its a shame too. My mind is blown this is Cd. Granted, as I have been telling ppl, "Come up by one game, fell down by one game". I am not saying hard work and determination is not present, it truly is. Good job, as far as I am concerned with some of the things in this game. However, it takes NO time to see either short cuts taken, or cares not given. I cannot look away from becoming bored while playing. I am running through the story faster then most games! I love to take my time, run through the world, meet different ppl, do different activites. However Cyber eventually reminds me, I NEED something to make me FEEL like I am moving forward. And instead of a world around me with things to do, it auto selects the next mission after completing another. I think one of the issues I have, granted, I do understand this design decision, is the mission you get are usually given to you by phone. So instead of face to face, where you are around other NPC, you're usually solo, from this place to the next. Mix this with the controls, and the current gossip around Cd, and I feel kind of sick to my stomach. I truly thought we had a beacon. I am not saying all faith lost, but this is the last time I throw money ahead of release. I did it to reassure them, I got you! I trust you. Take your time. I know some of us can be A-holes Cd, but stop looking at them, and focus on us. Final Score: Makes me want to play W3 again.
