journalism aligning solely with corporate interests to tell you what you like
it's so meta i love it
1: PC Gamer has already played and reviewed Phantom Liberty.
2: Of course every outlet that can write about Cyberpunk is going to right now. It's what people are searching for. They want clicks on fresh content that is relevant to their readers' interests.
Impressive, but imo still not as good as No man's Sky redemption.
Or Final Fantasy XIV
Great redemption but they did close the servers so I kinda feel like that's a whole new game hahaha
Also, FFXIV has been great for a long time now I think... NMS had more incremental updates with improvements for longer I guess. Maybe that's why that's the first thing on my mind when I think of any game redeemimg themselves.
Nevertheless still an amazing improvement on FFXIV.
So I actually tried it again last night.
My partner and I had finally gotten around to watching EdgeRunners and had heard that the game had improved quite a bit. Anyway so I have the thing install over dinner and sit down to play for a couple of hours before bed. I start a new game since you can't just jump in after being away for months right. I load up a new character start doing the intro and instantly am reminded of why I disliked the game. The intro is incredibly rushed and all of your choices don't matter. I bugged out in the middle of conversations at least 2 different times where I was unable to move my character and no dialogue was presented. The combat is boring and uninspired. My character would consistently load in T posing to areas. Characters would suddenly stop moving their mouths during conversations. And for a game meant to be open world the game was really really insitent that I play their dumb linear story that is absolutely fucking full of these damn trains-that-look-like-car-rides.
Idk guys I think it's the same game with the same core design flaws. Sure it's probably gotten a face lift but it sure as hell doesn't play any different than it did a year ago
I'm not sure when the 2.0 update hit, but if you were playing 1.63 yesterday, I would encourage you to try 2.0 today
Looks like I can't since they don't officially support HDD anymore :)
You should probably have an SSD in 2023.
Ah. I don't think they can explicitly block playing from HDD, so you still can but YMMV, and I wouldn't recommend it.
Sorry but in the recent past, that title goes to No Mans Sky.
The awesome Internet Historian video on No Man's Sky for those that haven't seen it:
The article does a good job of summarizing everything they changed and improvements, but I feel like pcgamer's headline is sort of leaving off a "... after reducing scope". For instance, the multiplayer mode that had been announced before launch. I also think I read they planned on multiple DLCs but they reduced that down to just this one? Regardless all my friends seem to enjoy the game so I'm sure it's a fun game to play
