I played this when it first came out on the xbox it was literally why I bought an xbox. It is one of my greatest games played. HOWEVER I bought the game on gog and wanted to share the experience with my kids however nothing I could do could get it to work I followed all the gog troubleshooting looked on reddit for solutions. But what I did find in the install files was the troubleshooting for the game and it specifically states this game requires Windows XP and earlier. I tried compatibility mode nothing works I tried installing on different laptops and there is always a problem; one wont start while another gets 1 hour in and then constantly crashing. Another has permanent small window. It's sad to see this great game get terrible treatment, if crashes ever get fixed definately buy it, but until then dont waste your money.
So CDPR had this game sent out unpolished and sorely lacking from what I remember hearing, (I try not to buy games that come out right away, kinda how I don't get OS's right away bugs need to be fixed) I played this game 1.5 years after the fact, but what I played was immersive I had genuine feelings for the characters I put a good 100 hours into it and enjoy every minute of it. If you want to really customize the game add mods there are some that I can't play this game without. But overall great game they came a long way to redeem themselves.
