So I completed the game. The last mission took me like 35-40 mins in total probably. Adam Smasher was a complete pushover of a final boss. My semi rare tech AR shredded him in like 5 minutes. Honestly had more trouble with the dual welding Samurai guy in the previous segment of the game.

Was not expecting how quickly you can wrap up the main story. If you can commit to it and skip a lot of dialogue it's probably like 15 to 20 hours in total. Pretty shocking considering how meaty TW3's was.

Maybe they're saving up the meat for DLCs?
I hope so. With any luck they'll give out the first expansion for free given the absolute fuckery that ensued post release.

Okay so I've sunk enough hours into this game to explore some of the thoughts I have of it. Haven't completed the main storyline yet (I'm at the Hanako questline that warns you of not being able to return should you continue) so not everything I say will encapsulate every facet of the game, but I'm pretty sure I've got the gist of what it was going for.

The setting and aesthetics are great. Characters are well fleshed out and engaging. Johnny Silverhand is probably my favourite in the game. Sidequests aren't just half baked "collect a package" type set ups. They're really well conceptualised and lengthy.

Now, the critiques. Glitches and crashes notwithstanding there's a lot of really wasted potential here and just straight up missing aspects of the game that were promised.

-Lifepaths. Probably my biggest gripe. They impact absolutely fuck all except for the prologue and a select few dialogue options. What happened to "your life path isn't set in stone"? I distinctly remember being told we would get to deviate between lifepaths, i.e. Street kids can become Corpos, Nomads can become Street kids etc. Maybe I've missed some obscure questline that I haven't discovered yet but I chose street kid and I haven't once been offered the option to move up the food chain to become a Corpo or join a bunch of Nomads. The closest I came to this was the Panam questline were she offered me to join the Aldecados, but the game promptly shut down any prospect of accepting her offer, essentially just giving me a couple different ways to say "lolno".

Why isn't there a corpo questline where I can backstab my way to becoming CEO of the various corporations in the game? Why can't I become a street boss, or have my street cred actually mean something other than having a couple more options at a clothing vendor? Happy to be corrected if I'm just straight up missing a side gig but at this point in the game I thought the options would be well and truly presented to me by now.

-Gangs. Apart from the Maelstrom quest at the start of the game and that brief stint in Pacifica with the Voodo Boys, I have had absolutely fuck all interactions with any of the other gangs and I've nearly completed the main questline. They could have been removed from the game post launch and I would have absolutely no clue they were ever there. Why can't I join one of the gangs too? All they've ended up bringing to the game is a slight change in the aesthetics of different parts of the city. Sorry, but "kill a cyberpsycho that's part of X gang" isn't good enough for them to be a substantial feature of the game. Hell, fucking Skyrim gives you the option to join various different factions. At least give us a quest line for each of the gangs.

-Perks and Attributes. Apart from being able to open doors and hack computers, I'm not seeing a whole lot of gameplay usage for them. I can hack cameras but I can't hack into people's hardware, take control and cause mayhem among the ranks? Again, it just comes back to my main point of wasted potential. There's so much they could have done but they just went for the convential "gain 10% damage in melee/shooting/hacking" garbage we've seen in every other RPG.

-AI. Inexcusable, but it's already been touched upon here.

Even after all that and the bugs, I still don't consider it a bad game, I just think features that were promised or at least alluded to have not been integrated at all. Definitely seems like this game has something really special to bring, but it just can't quite stick the landing for whatever reason.

Honestly the glitches don't bother me that much anymore but for the love of christ please give us an option to mute Delaware if we aren't pursuing his questline. Sick of seeing that white gormless looking face pop up every time I enter a new area.

Okay well, whatever misgivings I had about season 1 has been obliterated by season 2.

That was phenomenal. All 8 episodes. Can't really pick out one that I didn't like or thought stood out. Pretty funny how a spin off TV series with a lower budget has displayed more emotion and entertainment value in its pinky toe than the entirety of the sequel trilogy has.

Sooo that's a third time the game shat itself on me. Even after patch 1.04.

This should have been delayed until spring.  Idk why they thought this was acceptable to release in 2020.

So game crashed twice on me, also had a glitch where I could not advance the story because of some militech NPC blocking an access point. Enemies will sometimes spaz out on the floor without even bothering to shoot you.

The fuck was the point in all these delays then? Absolute joke.
This is f i n e, no matter how much would they spend time coding game, they'll never catch all bugs. It's more important now for them to listen to the feedback and patch all things quickly. I think it would be better for them to release their game earlier as an early access and receive feedback back then and I don't know what prevented them from doing so.

Why is the bar so low now that the default position is to just expect AAA games to be fixed incrementally post release? Why is it so outlandish to actually want a game to work properly on day 1? Trust me this isn't fine. I'm sick of people just brushing this off because it's CDPR. If this was an EA title reddit would be in resonance frequency.

I didn't pay 55 quid for a game that needs 25 gig patches every few weeks. I'm not asking there to be absolutely zero bugs. I just want a playable game that I paid for on the day.
Buying games six months to a year post release is not only economically beneficent but also gives you a better experience.
Yeah okay cool, but that's not even remotely my point. There's a difference between purchasing a game at its cheapest and most optimized and having an unplayable mess on the first day you purchase it. I don't understand why this is such a head scratcher to some folk.

Well yeah, of course the militant trump brigade aren't gonna be swayed by anything Biden says. But it wasn't his sycophants that won him the election in 2016. It was the middle of the road blue collar voters who were swayed by populism and the prospect of jobs being returned that came out of the woodwork to secure his victory. A lot of them actually voted for Obama too.

I just don't think that magic trump shine is appealing to that voter base anymore. Biden out flanked him on nearly every populist issue, from minimum wage, basic healthcare, to bailing out small businesses. All trump could fall back on was "da stog mahket", which if you're living on paycheck to paycheck doesn't wholly concern you.

The polls seem to be confirming this too. And yeah I appreciate the pollsters were flat out wrong 4 years ago, but Hillary was only like 2 points ahead of Trump at this point, whereas Biden is taking him to the cleaners with like 14 point leads in some instances.

Trump needed a big W for his final debate and it just didn't happen. I think it's pretty likely he'll be joining Carter and H. Bush in the 1 term club.

Not to toot my own horn but maybe I should be a political analyst.

When all's said and done, oddly enough, the polls actually underestimated Trump and overestimated Biden.

I think Kyle Kulinski summed it up best. This should have been a 400 plus electoral landslide for the democrats. Trump's incompetency allowed for 200k Americans to die on his watch and yet nearly half of the electorate still thinks he's a viable candidate. The only reason status quo Joe didn't have this in the bag is because he *does not stand for anything*.

Just because the dems squeaked a win on this by the skin of their teeth does not give them a pass for the future. They're so high on corporate donor subsidies that they probably think this is a fucking acceptable result.

Enjoy these 4 years until the next fucking Republican clown comes along.

Georgia has flipped. Not that it matters, Biden only needed Nevada anyways while sitting at 264. The only question remaining is how long Trump is going to contest his apparent defeat.

I don't see why he doesn't just leave, he'd be far happier. The man is a billionaire and had relatively little media backlash before running. Why would he want to stay for another four years of constantly being attacked and at a 97% pay cut?

It’s over boys.
He thrives on the backlash, that's his whole shtick. Negative publicity is still just publicity. The more the media and Democrats kept sperging over him the more he can turn to his sycophants and say "hey look, the establishment is throwing their toys out the pram, I must be doing something right".

Not that any of this matters anymore, the toddler in chief is finished.

Plus correct me if I'm wrong but I heard somewhere that once he becomes a private citizen again he's eligible to be taken to court? Given his tax returns and mounting debt it would make sense he would want to avoid those crosshairs as long as possible. Could be talking out my ass on that one though. Happy to be corrected on it.
