People said that Days Gone was great but riddled with bugs... so I waited. The game got updates on my ps4 every week for a year. On patch number 63 this year I finally decided to play it...
Not only it was absolutely medicore open world grind game with bad story and characters but by the end of the game it ran like trash, textures stopped loading and it was hitching all the time
I kinda still want to revisit it when I get ps5...
As for Witcher 3? That shit was unplayable for me due to bad controls but I struggled through and love it. I ran into every bush and door frame on the way though

I can see how you'd think its as good, definitely, and although I dont think its superior I understand why many people think that as well. Its probably because the image is sharpened.
So if you sharpened the native res image a small amount in the DS comparison I think it would look better to your eyes than the DLSS image. I understand why people think the small quality tradeoff in IQ is wel worth it for the absolutely giant increase in framerate, but its not for me, I usually favour IQ over framerate (It still needs to be stable though obviously) except in cases like racing games, fpses, "devil may cry-like" games where control and timing are very important or where you move the camera manually very fast a lot of the time.
Having perfect IQ (no aliasing, within reason, or other artifacts from reconstruction/ML) is more important to me than 30 vs. 60, or 60 vs. 120 fps because better framerate doesn't make me appreciate the environments or small details I wouldn't otherwise have seen. I know that you see more frames of the animation in the game and that could be really important if everything is moving really fast, like in Doom for example, but thats often covered under the exceptions I made above. If I let my eyes get used to 30fps then after a while I don't even notice theres that much more stutter, same as when I watch a film at 24fps.
Don't really want to delve into reviews too much due to possible spoilers. But is there any information regarding next gen performance? Have the choice to go for ps5 or xsx, but rather go ps5. Just worried that backward compatibility mode will be weaker on ps5 despite parity in performances in compatible next gen games that have been seen so far.
BTW, it is nice to be able to speak about a video game freely... Imagine. On a video game site!

Channel with 80k subscribers putting a video based on overreaction with an even more overreacting title?
Oh wow I would never

I'm not seeing perks that would push me to make different builds.
I mean stuff like increasing rifle damage by 9% is just worthless to me
It was a bit ropey at launch. They put a *lot* of work in to it since then.
CDPRs whole bit has basically been above and beyond effort with their already released games.

I hope so. My graphics card costs 400 $. This performance would be awful.

If you look around and notice, you’ll see a lot of new faces coming from the other forum. I think it‘s fine if people want to know why they are coming here all of a sudden.

What exactly was this supposed to prove? Some random guy who didn't get a review copy says "Sure a 91 is good and all but it's not if you hold them to a different standard" like it's some sort of profound statement.

I played it earlier this year. 80 hours total. I loved the world and narrative, but everything else was sloppy. Dialogue would cut out sometimes, combat enemies spasming out, etc.. here is an example I got first hand of the sloppiness
The controls especially

Mate your holy grail of a game has a 91 metacritic. I'm sure you can survive a couple of critiques

So you're saying there's a chance this won't run like complete ass on my old as shit PC?
Yup CDRP make shitshow quality games that take about half a year for them to unfuck, and even in that process they end up fucking some aspects they've previously fixed.
Hyperbolic reviewers that don't care about fucking their readers with a buggy shitshow put the games on the highest pedestals they can find to bolster sales, and then the fanbois of said product tell the people suffering from all the bugs that they're wrong or stupid because X number of media outlets didn't mention said bugs. The review sites keep their AD revenue from the company and the company makes their sales with vague promises to fix all the bugs in their game, the consumer gets a bucket full of slop and has to enjoy it as is.

Unfortunately, people are going to (already are, actually) give the game a pass for bugs. Which is fine, cool, but, like you said, it bothers me that other games got decked negatively for bugs but this does not. It is what it is. Will see how bad the bugs are come launch day.
Yes, only PC right now.

What's even worse is it sets a bad precedent for massive day one patches to supposedly fix everything (even though people like skillup said that's impossible for this). Like it'll literally be unplayable for people without wifi.

If this was a sony exclusive a 91 would be the second coming of christ to some of these guys. Instead we get to see just a bunch of clumsy attempts at dragging down everyone else's fun cause reasons.

I'm guessing no console review code means the console versions are significantly compromised versions of the game and would have reviewed significantly worse. From the leaked video I've seen of console gameplay, the visuals are not very good at all. I'm glad I have a good PC but they really should have just made this a next gen game and waited for release until the middle of next year. Would have saved some crunch and a lot of bugs. Also would have saved them from their big game being played on really old tech.

There are leaked videos of the game running at a smooth 60fps on PS5, and this is before day one patch.

What does a Sony exclusive have to do with this? Very strange.
Ass of Can Whooping

The irony is the mods there act like the thought police constantly banning people for their thoughts and opinions and not actually for breaking any rules.
For a place apparently safe for those that are different to the norm it's not very safe for people with different opinions to their own.
Glad the game is reviewing well, would have bought it anyway. Those couple of low scores scream of clickbait, surprised by GameSpot as it used to be respected, clearly not anymore.

Cause some of the people going out of there way to try and cast as negative a light as possible are known Sony warriors who only cheerlead Sony exclusives.
It’s all based on one ad? Have you played the game? Cause if not, I don’t think you are in a very strong position to boil down all the problems this reviewer has with the game in regards to trans issues to a singular ad in the game. They’ve actually played the game, mind you.
they are likely playing the game from a skewed and biased perspective yes, but it is wholly possible and even likely IMO that there are other areas of the game we haven’t seen yet that are extensions of the issues some people have with that ad

I wrote, q-u-o-t-e,. " Implants are not "super cheap", as per the lore. "
Cyberpunk 2020:
"While cybernetics are still expensive, they are affordable by most of the middle class to some degree, and even by the poor in some situations. " (source)
I read a similar statement regarding Cyberpunk 2077 in-game cyberware not being cheap, which I can't seem to locate now.
Yes...and?
Obviously.
The point is which of the two worldviews reflects reality more closely? A rational person will always choose the worldview that comports with reality. My claim is the view I happen to endorse better reflects reality than her flawed model and, as such, she should relinquish it.
If she's not a rational person, though, the entire conversation is meaningless. There's no conversation to be had.
Can you provide an example of the alleged mockery going on?
Give me a concrete example of an idea, theme or message you'd like Cyberpunk 2077 to convey.
No, t's not your problem. You have your own to deal with.
And here we get to the bottom of the problem.
You apparently "feel" all points of view are valid.
Not true. Invalid points of view exist.
You apparently think as long as someone genuinely feels something that validates their point of view.
It doesn't. People can be genuinely wrong, even though they feel in their heart of hearts they're right. That's where rationality comes into play.
Ah, so you do know, after all, hey?
Please provide examples.
Regressive is a completely hollow word in this context.
No, you can look at it as a piece of dystopian fiction set in the year 2077, based on Mike Pondsmith's take on the cyberpunk genre.
The game is not trying to endorse a certain kind of society. When the game depicts, hypothetically speaking, racism it is not endorsing racism. If the game has a stereotypical Latino character, the game is not making the claim Latinos are like that. And so on and so forth.
How about that?
Now please read that in front of a mirror.
That's not what I'm doing.
You are judging fiction as though it were an endorsement.
A film about rape is not an endorsement of rape. A game, supposedly, about shallow people doing shallow things is not a claim about real-life people.
Again, provide an example of what you want "your" fiction to say.
Maybe you should write "your" dystopian fiction, in order to make sure it says what you want it to say.
Bwah.
As soon as you have a decent one, let me know.
Deal?
This from someone who seems to think all points of view are valid.
Don't let the irony hit you like an oil-tanker.
And where did I say she thinks that?
But If anyone thinks, for example, Trans people are owed a certain kind of Representation, they most definitely believe something is owed to a certain demographic.
Hopefully, this point doesn't have to be explained to you.
See above.
I want a competent non-fallacious review.
It's nothing short of bonkers you would think "the LGBTQ community" would have a consensual or even unanimous opinion on anything. Millions and millions and millions of people, different people, different backgrounds, different political affiliations, different worldviews, different philosophies, cultures, etc., all conveniently holding the exact same opinion for to you reproduce here.
Complete bonkers.
Again, I eagerly wait you providing an example of a theme or a message you'd like Cyberpunk 2077 to convey.

I haven't played days gone until the ps5 ps plus collection and it's pretty good so far. Definitely benefits and the bugs are mostly Patched outPeople said that Days Gone was great but riddled with bugs... so I waited. The game got updates on my ps4 every week for a year. On patch number 63 this year I finally decided to play it...

Indeed. I think they're running damage control at the thought of those GoTYs to come.
