I'm not getting the Mass Effect comparisons I keep seeing (got a total Borderlands vibe in the first area with the music), but I only played about 10 hours of ME2 so I'm not the best judge of that.


Visually, it has art direction that reminds me of No Man's Sky mixed with Bioshock

That I see. ME, not so much. I guess being in space and having a bunch of companions. Brad of Giant Bomb said the screen where you select a "squad" before heading into a mission is straight up ripped from ME.

About to meet someone in a Rouses parking lot to get 60 x Adderall.

I'm going to be locked into this game for 48hrs.

Edt: need to set an alarm to remind myself to drink.

It's a weekend drug for me.
I don't drink, anything.

You shouldn't take it daily. Imo.

Need to let your body go through it's cycles.

frick I’ve bought 2 games these last few months that I’ve barely started, nier automata and Greedfall so I shouldn’t buy a 3rd just to not have time to play it. All these reviews are making it hard though

Sorry, default tools here might think it was "showing off".

They oddly mistake preparation for something a person is excited about as trying to be cool.

So things from other games I don't like

Unbindable actions (surprise I know)
Borderlands art style Devs just taking a cheap way out and not giving an artful beautiful game.

Seems like it's going to be a good game though.

Not every game needs to look the same. Appreciate different styles and don't assume they went that route because it was the easiest.

Not even a remotely accurate statement.

I don't get the hate for the graphics. I think it looks great. So nice to have a colorful game and not the same dreary miserable gray/brown that 99% of games use.

This is clearly the bastard child of fallout mixed with a touch of borderlands.

Normal difficulty should be called story mode. Too much ammo. Too easy. Hell, even on Supernova the ammunition is plentiful.

I'm 14 hours in but I back track a lot for XP.You could probably get to my same spot in about 4 hours

I had zero interest in playing this game but watching a streamer changed my mind. Mainly because I am sick of dreary colorless games. Figured I needed to pay for this one to show my appreciation.

Glad I gave it a shot. Yes, some folks will think it is going to be a massive Fallout game. It isn't. One other weakness along with being too easy is the limited number of enemies. Maybe more will show up. Maybe I am treating the first area like the Hinterlands and I should be moving along a little quicker.

I feel like the game already paid for the price of admission and I'm cheap and don't often pay for day 1.

It's my deal not everyone's, I have stated my dislike for the borderlands style graphics before. I understand that the budget and buyout were factors and said it seems like the game will be fun, but lets be honest for the same $59.99 Cyberpunk will deliver a lot more and present it much better.

I disagree. I think it is Borderlands mixed with BioShock

I don't get a bioshock vibe at all. Although I'm still on planet 1 so who knows. It doesn't have to be 2. Evidently, There are 47 genders now so it is the bastard child of Bioshock, Borderlands and Fallout.

I'm all in - really enjoying it so far.

That being said, glad I picked hard over normal. The plasma rifle (don't remember where I got it) mixed with slowing down time is fairly OP.

Made it off of the first planet (I think I did about everything although that could easily be wrong) and found my first science weapon.
