22. "RE: a few more general thoughts"
In response to message #16
 
   I've bought the game (though I did not preorder it) and I have a few thoughts:

-There's still some bugs in the PC version, but I'm told console is far worse. I don't know the state of console patches, but there's already been a PC patch or two. Updating my drivers got rid of the tree bug, and the notes say the braindance epilepsy thing is already handled, but I did still run into one bug where my partner passed through a door without opening it, requiring a reload. (Fortunately, there was an autosave just before, since it was at the end of a big boss fight.) In general, though, it hasn't been worse than any other PC release I've seen in the past few years.

-Whoever said they got the setting wrong is tagging Black Lace. It feels just like I expected it to, and all I can think of is when someone asked CDPR's consultant on the setting, Cyberpunk co-creator Mike Pondsmith, that very question. His answer was, shall we say, in extreme disagreement and not for print in a polite medium. Kind of like telling Rowling she got Harry Potter wrong.

-I haven't felt this immersed in a world in a long time. Not going to lie, there's already been a couple times I had to put the game down and go play something else for a while, and I've only just gotten past the prologue. (Of course, having the FFXIV patch drop the same day may have been a factor!)

-I'm holding off on judging the whole anti-establishment message. Certainly, the whole point of the setting is it's as flashy and kitschy as it is shallow and meaningless. The search for meaning and something to believe in is a theme of the game....but whether that is handled well or not is not something I can judge yet. We'll see.

Orchestrate our fall from grace
Poorest players on the stage
Our defiance drives us straight to the edge
