I’ve bought it earlier but started to play it seriously some time before patch 1.5. And I love it. True, I’ve encountered a number of glitches like floating objects or npc’s sinking in the ground, stuff like that, but nothing fun-braking. I really appreciate all the massive artistic work that was done making this game. Architecture, interior design, car design, fashion, music made exclusively for it, the directory of predefined scenes… I is a art piece in so many aspects. That is impressive. Gameplay is nice, it brings nothing new to the table, at least I haven’t notice anything, but everything is executed properly, I can’t complain about any mechanics. It’s nice to play. As for one thing people complain about, that is lacking of police chases. Well, for me “it’s not a bug, it’s a feature”. Nothing breaks my immersion more than this GTA style one man army versus entire city of cops/swat/army/tanks etc. I just don’t like to play like that. So when I accidently run over someone speeding my car and the police gets on me, I’m glad I can easy run from it and pretend nothing happened ;) You can even assume it’s part of the lore. I thing no one, including police, gives much value to human life. As long as corporate business is unthreatened they don’t care. I however have a different, little issue with this game. I think there is way too little ways to customize your characters appearance. In the world where people are altering every aspect of the way they look you should be given much more freedom. Finally: the story. I haven’t finished the game so I can’t really judge it yet but as far I just love it, its captivating and fun to unravel. Characters are well written, Jackie was great, Jonny Silverhand is so repulsive (as intended, I guess) and I’m absolutely in love with Panam. For me 10/10
