A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

A friend let me borrow their PS4 version. Word of warning: Do not play it on PS4. I got through it, but damn if that cobbled together abandoned mess didn't take away from the experience at times. I dread to think how bad it must've been at launch! It was the side content that was mostly broken; I recall the taxi missions just constantly glitching out. The music on the radio didn't work properly and I was teleported to the other side of the map for no reason at one point.

Despite that the story, atmosphere, design of the city and characters are all great. I'm tempted to get it on PS5 or Steam (with the DLC) at some point to play through it again properly.

I think my brain is stuck in 2018 because some voice in the back of my head is telling me I should be excited for when cyberpunk and starfield come out, lol. Maybe I'll get to cyberpunk soon but the backlog is yuge

One of the best games of the last decade. Top-5 easy.

I played it since launch. Originally on a Xbone, and my biggest complaint back then was minimap lag. You wouldn't believe how many turns I missed.

But yeah, rough launch. Made a storybook comeback. Now it's incredible. My biggest gripe now is that it doesn't have NG+. I went on Pavel's streams and begged for NG+ for 2 years. All I wanted was Levels. Not SC, not money, not 'ware, not unique weapons. I just wanted to start the game at max level. They heard NG+ and thought we wanted the NG+ from Witcher 3. Which I actually hated. Cuz all the enemies get a buff and all your specced out end game gear is outclassed by garbage you pick up on the side of the road by the time you leave White Orchard. But that's not what we or at least I wanted.

It is by far one of the best open world games I have played. You can literally get lost in the world.

I never played the game on release, I played after phantom liberty came out.

And boy I can't emphasise how amazing the game is. Plus Keanu as Johnny silverhand is soooooo phenomenal.

10/10 would recommend.

It shouldn't be forgiven for releasing in such a broken state. Do we really think the rest of the game industry didn't notice how well it did? How little they're willing to do if it means still getting that money rolling in?

It was okay.

Didn't really like the ending(s). I think one of the lead guys was like "cyberpunk can't have happy endings", so I guess they never read Neuromancer.

Gameplay was so-so, but I fixed some egregious problems with a mod. People who thought it was going to be life changing were living in a dream land.

Still haven’t played it.
