More FromSoftware masochism at a bargain price. Hard to beat as a gaming experience. 

I bought CyberPunk at half price thinking I'd burn through it.

At 150 hours on two saves. The last update has created crashes galore though, the honeymoon is almost over. 

Trying to find a guide that actually gives me information, and all I get is pages and pages of ads and its annoying looking things up.

I want to learn more about the game mechanics, even contemplating a guide by piggy something sold on Amazon, but it just sounds like a glorified manual, not a guide.

I miss the old days when you bought a guide and it had every tiny thing about the game in it

I wouldn’t bother, honestly.  It’s still broken…people still person_without_enough_empathying about it on Blizzard’s forums.  I think the devs gave up on it…probably have other things occupying their time. *cough* legal problems *cough* 

I chalked it up to a $40 lesson learned.  I won’t be getting D4 when it comes out.  They lost a lot of dedicated fans. 

This is the reason it'll be free, though

True, but it’s actually a game-breaker.  I’m seeing that many players just stopped playing, like me.  So it will be free disappointment.

What exactly is broken?

After a cursory search, only the coop is broken?

Solo play is fine?

Here’s one of it’s biggest game breakers.  It was started last November.  Not many posts the past few months because I think people just gave up…

Yeah.    The PC threads are a bit better…lots of issues on that platform too.  They are still patching the game as of this month.

Just started Fallout 4 PS4 on PS5.  Typical Bethesda RPG game structure, familiar to me as a Skyrim / Oblivion player.  Scavenging resources everywhere, and I know I’m going to end up with another insanely large inventory. 
 

Great graphics, always one for exploration, finding it much darker in tone than Elder Scrolls. Likely be on it for months.

I feel sorry for your furniture if you have all the DLC packs

Crafting and building really sucks you in on this game. I spent about 2 years playing this

Been through so many play throughs and there is always something new that is found. Some of the DLC are definitely worth it.

I think eurogamer might have done something on Cyberpunk. They're a great site I highly recommend. They don't usually do guides, but I have a feeling they may have for CP2077.

Still haven't picked up a Playstation 5 or an Xbox Series X.

Don't really have a desire to go out of my way to pay $500 for something.  I did receive an email from Xbox a couple of day ago that I just now opened.  It said they have limited inventory on Xbox Series X.....so I went ahead and clicked on their link to check it out.  I then had to click on "Build you Bundle".....so I did.

Step 1:  Choose your console (required) -- Xbox Series X was the only choice for $499.99

Step 2:  Xbox Game Pass Ultimate 3 month membership (required) - $44.99

As far as I'm concerned.....both of these companies did a s**t job of stopping scalpers from sucking up all the inventory.....and they can both now go f**k themselves.

I have not

I screwed up the game. You met Ozob Bozo?

Supposed to fight him in Beat the Brat, but I finished it before progressing the main story very far, and I think I skipped over it

Or maybe he only shows up for Corpro brats?

Just sign up for GameStop Pro and keep an eye on your emails. That system has worked for every single person that I know who wanted a PS5. XBoxes are much easier to get a hand on.

IMO, if you cannot do that, then you do not deserve a PS5 right now. I'm sure you're okay with that, though.
