I'm a patient gamer so I don't normally preorder, but I made an exception with CyberPunk as a tribute for paying $5 for Witcher 3 (which was my first game of the series, I went in blind and I couldn't believe how good it was).
I wasn't even mad with the shitshow but I decided wasn't going to play the game in that state.
Fast forward a few years, the game runs almost 3 times as fast (went from 25 to 70 fps on my computer) and they fixed a lot of problems people were complaining about for the DLC release. Now it's ripe.
Pretty much the same story here. Finally playing it now, and I can barely put it down. It's story is nearly as good as W3, and my car doesn't even take random hard lefts off the road for no reason whatsoever in this one. Actually, gameplay is a massive step up in general.
I'm glad to hear the game's gotten much better! I purchased the game on sale but have left it sitting in my Steam library for a little while, knowing that it is playing much better means I'll move it higher on my playlist.
Well, I meant a step up from the overall quality of Witcher 3. But, it is really smooth and solid combat with a real variety of styles/builds. I'm digging katana/guns/mantis blades/sandi. And I know the 2.0 skill revamp made a huge and smart impact on the gameplay.
Still is, my dude. The “All pods launched” sound effect from the first level will be stuck in my head forever, I’ve heard it so many times. If you haven’t played Q2RTX, I highly recommend it. It’s like a fresh coat of paint on an old classic.
The only game I've ever preordered is Animal Crossing New Horizons. I knew it wasn't gonna be horseshit on release lmao. I wait until games are on sale and have been out for a while. My friends keep harassing me to buy Baldurs Gate and I'm not doing that until it has all dlc released and is on sale lol
I'm the same way but I bought bg3 because of how not asshole they are. It's a great game and honestly worth the money. This is the first game I've bought at full price since games came on cartridges.
My thing is that I wanna wait until Larian comes out with all content for it. I don't wanna get the game and immediately have to replay it because dlc came out. I've done that with games before and replaying just for dlc made the game feel like a chore. I've waited since the announce of cyberpunk's expansion to even consider finishing the game. I plan on playing that one once I get myself a steamdeck later this year. My gaming computer became a total turd since 2020 lol.
I get that, but that game is so big, you're going to want to play over regardless. You'll probably start over anyways after at least 40 hours of game play. The game is really insane on how much there is and how much every choice you make matters. You could play this game for the rest of your life and I don't think you'd have the same game twice.
Yeah, at least if they're not free-to-play. Publishers have shown time and time again that you can NOT trust them with your money. Only pay for something if you know exactly what you're getting.

I'm learning this the hard way with Starfield 😢

Patient games keep being right

I pre-ordered Elden Ring for a slight discount off of the launch price. No regerts whatsoever about that one. Best game of the 21st Century.
But yeah usually I get games well after launch on sale. Starfield looks cool but they can eat a $70 bag of dicks before I pay that much.
It’s because people weren’t patient that they were able to fix it
But it still isn’t the game they marketed it as
Hell, I'm still on Civilization III.
I just play unciv instead now
Unciv is amazing, it's insane that I can play it on my potato phone while my laptop struggles with civ5
i’m still on fallout 2
Both of you are rocking awesome games, so no worries…
do you still have to force children into the game to have someone play with the Richard Nixon doll?
Wizard of Wor will never be dethroned.
Unironically the best entry in the series. I play 5 occasionally, but 3 all the time.
I’m still playing DooM. Nothing will ever top it.
Now that's pretty extreme. Quake II was the shit.

I play Factorio, it was more stable at 0.8 alpha than the average €/$ 60 AAA game at release.

Play Divinity 2 with your friend
Then go into DM mode to run a DND campaign or into the SDK to build your own levels/quests
