Want this printed out next to the list of usernames who called the last news about this false....

Indeed, falling over themselves, what was described as much ado about nothing; except acknowledgement from the vendor and a Hotfix.

I assume the speed and communication of the vendor will be a rallying call of all that is just and good.

I don't do scary games.. I tried this one.. I did not make it very far...

I used two mods, one turned the alien into a harmless puppy and the other made made the revolver a one shot killing hand cannon. [Overpowered Pistol]

Once the alien basically ignored you the game was much more enjoyable, at least until /spoiler all your weapons were taken away and then it was back to stealth timing to avoid the droids./end spoiler

I felt that I didn't have the desire to play on more than easy mode - it was still fun - and you could beat the droids to death quickly if you needed to.

Knew that voice immediately - had an idea of what was going to happen.

It sounds like they lost a billion off their valuation.

I was wondering when the "stock dip" that was previously reported was going to materialize into silly articles like this one.

I will be interested in seeing a post-mortem on development as it relates to both supply-chain issues related to manufacture and distribution - and how remote working impacted the last year of development. Having the game drop with the next gen consoles, new PC V/C hardware combined with a pandemic and hype - a perfect storm.

You have not been playing the same game as I have, I am 23 hours in and loving it.
I have not hit any game breaking bugs, and hardly any bugs at all in fact (saw 2 npc's in T poses, that's about it I think).

Same boat, loving it. Now .. Fallout New Vegas on release - couldn't play it for months. Still a favorite.

Game defaulted to ultra settings on my 1080 Ti. My native res is 4k. Slideshow.

This is AFTER I spent TWO HOURS trying to get the game to even run. It would crash immediately every time until I updated my videocard drivers.

But I guess I need to build a new PC before I can properly play this game. I think it's crashing because it's requesting some CPU feature I don't support. I'm using a ten year old i7 980x. It's a terrible time to upgrade too. Oh well. Guess I'm waiting for the patches and DLC anyway.

So you have a 4k monitor, with a 1080 ti with old drivers and a ten year old cpu and main board missing features and the game launched?

Congratulations!

I haven't seen references to the "body bank" from the original rpg material (the body lotto from the intro was great to see, that was a thing) - but, cloned limbs (expensive) and 'used' bits are supposed to be just as common as cyberware, sometimes a substitute for not affording chrome. Also organic bits were used after you retired your metal (like full conversion military borgs getting replacement flesh bodies when they retire), and for rehabilitation from the cyberware humanity loss.

I'm at 19x12 with a 1080 ti, defaulted to ultra. Had a few visual glitches. NPCs are great as a crowd, but not so much in alert status. CDPR chose "real" sized roads, which are tighter and cramped (appropriately) compared to the triple wide lanes in GTA5 - your vehicle is like Roach and again not GTA - it's not a driving sim. Story, lore, and characters are done well.

I played the original pencil and paper Cyberpunk 2012 and 2020; To see this title materialized at all in gaming form, by CDPR is wonderful. It won't be like the original material, for example: Johnny Silverhand was an 80s blond hairdo rocker who's girlfriend Alt, was a Netrunner that became a digital ghost; and there was no way in the 80s they would have predicted one of those 8 lbs grey walk-talkie cellular phones would become what they are - but I'm interested in seeing where it has ended up - in the original material netrunning could only be done stationary because cell's were too unreliable. Will the bar,The Forlorn Hope show up? Maybe, maybe. I heard the Totentaz will be, so hey! It's all good!

Once I would be very interested, now it's just something I will eventually checkout. The only real point of interest is to warily ponder what they have learned between DA: I, and ME: A.
Considering the leadership of EA and BioWare and their track record, I assume we are 1 bomb or 2 titles away from a forgettable swan song.

Lol, 3 billion? There truly is no hope for humanity, haha.

Gaming is mainstream and has been for awhile, everything about CoD is a re-hash - but the audience that plays that are partially bankrolling the titles I enjoy, directly and indirectly, so live and let live. The CoD players will continue to play it and it's similar titles or they may also start buying the titles I like, which is better for me. Those that do and will only ever play CoD-like games are gamers of a different stripe and only once in awhile do our paths cross.

I was one of the suckers that helped fund this and I don't want to play it.

Ditto.

I mainly pledged for Squadron 42... and if it ever comes out I'm not sure I want to play it either.
I have zero interest in the MMO, so that's a no brainer.

I've forgotten what I pledged for, but in the interim I started a family.

So, it will be next week that we will hear about a new release date?
How about WHEN IT'S DONE.
That worked for Duke Nukem Forever, right?

I'm willing the accept that a global pandemic has presented dynamic and unexpected consequences to the physical production, assembly, and timed distribution to all markets: if it released in one region and not another - I could imagine that would be much worse than a pushed release date.

A prequel would probably be nice. Other than that, I don't know how they could do another Mass Effect TBH.

Guess we'll see.

Good writing can go a long way. Whether or not EA has the capacity to both employ good writers and put them to good use are another thing entirely.

It's only been 19 years since the release of the Xbox and numerous broken promises made to PC gamers, when they weren't exclusively locking content to their console. After the first promise every new promise has the "if you asked me about last time" clause followed by a "no really, this time we mean it this time". The Game Pass has been successful - but excuse me if I don't make any move to grab my wallet.

That works out nicely with my 2nd week of December off.

I highly suspect that the fact that they are only focusing on "search" and this has been filed by the DoJ si because, Donnie Two-Tone is under the impression that all the negative searches that Google is producing is some kind of intentional bias, when in fact, it's just reality. Is there merit here? Probably, somewhere, but when you're excluding Amazon, Facebook, Disney, and any other number of mega-conglomerates it seems arbitrary and capricious.

It is a legitimate criticism that the ending was mediocre and your choices didn't make a huge difference (though they still affect some things). However, dismissing the entire game (or series) on its concluding chapter is silly to me. It is more about the journey than the final destination (which also wasn't that terrible, especially with the later update).

Didn't work out to well for Game of Thrones, having a lackluster finish, wiped out everything.
