Is this going to sell out asap or can I walk into a store on Saturday and pick up one up without ordering?

Supply isn't usually a problem with games (discs are easy to manufacture) so you'll probably be able to get it wherever. It's likely to be the "featured" game at supermarkets for a bit (the one they have a little stand for near the entrance).

Though I'm a fan of digital download anyway so if worst comes to worst you can always just get it on PlayStation store/Xbox Live/Steam etc. Unlimited supply :hee:

I'm so glad I've kept low on info for this game :D

My husband is really fussy and prefers the physical disc lol

I've just ordered from argos there they say they will deliver tomorrow, we will see

Anyone who has epilepsy should beware, there are scenes in the game which act as seizure triggers.

I'm starting now, did the old New Zealand trick on the Xbox :amazed:

This seems like another one of those games (like LoU II) that some people seem to hate with a vengance (not sure why)

Still not sure if I’m getting this game or not going to watch people play it on twitch to make a decision

Also I’m confused by the title, isn’t it out Friday? :laugh:

No loov it’s out tonight at midnight :devil:

This is a broke ass forum that doesnt let you change titles after a year has passed :shrug::laugh:

Isn't everything these days :joker:. I've learned to take it with a pinch of salt; two of my favourite games from the last year and what I consider to be two of the best games of the entire gen (TLOU2 and Death Stranding) were extremely divisive.

I'm also one of the freaks who really enjoyed "Days Gone" and it got an absolute boatload of hate :umm2:.

Oh, I'll have to try out Days Gone, its on the PS+ Collection

The main issue is it being a slow burn - the most fun things in the game are the massive hoards, the better weapons gameplay, like napalm, and riding the bike... The big hoards don't come until the second half of the game, you don't get the really fun weapons (heavy machine gun... And NAPALM!) until then either, and also the bike riding is at its best when the bike is fully upgraded which you can't do until you reach the second large area.

Some of those huge hoard battles are an absolute riot, though. There's a hoard in an abandonned mine that I stumbled across completely by accident and I've never "run so fast" in a game ever. I properly crapped myself, haha.

I also enjoy the storyline. It's not exactly TLOU but it's fun enough once it gets going... Again it's a slow burn and doesn't pick up until the second half.

Fair warning though; the forced stealth sections are trash. Just... Trash. Really awful. Using "optional" stealth to clear out small locations is fine and quite fun so it's not even the actual stealth mechanics - the forced sections are just really badly scripted and not fun. Thankfully, there are very few.

Personally I'm not surprised there as the Cyberpunk genre does like to have a lot of flashing images.

Okay, this is pretty gnarly looking.

I just find this fun to get caught up in, by the way. Couldn't give a monkeys about ropey graphics. In some cases they add to the fun.

But yeah, wow. Those trailers are a world away from this.

The Xbone and PS4 versions are going to suffer, I could have told you that pre-release. It's a first-person game running at 30fps, for a start. And it's clearly optimised for next gen... so the textures are going to be a mess. In all honestly I think they probably A) Would have like to have pushed it back even further (to next spring) and B) Didn't foresee the supply problems and thought more people would have next-gen consoles by this month. I honestly think it'll be borderline unplayable on the base model last gen consoles. PS4 pro and Xbone X might fare better. But yeah, you want a PS5, Series X or PC for this tbh. It's just not a last-gen title. It reminds me of when they released some hilariously ugly, choppy, downscaled PS3 titles on the PS2.

PC MASTER RACE :laugh:. I'll let you know how it runs on a half-decent gaming PC later. It dropped a 10gb download on me this morning on top of the preload :oh:. Would usually have downloaded overnight but we had a bloody powercut here at about 11pm last night and I forgot to turn the PC back on.

I'm hoping for 75fps+ (my monitor can do 165) so wish me luck :umm2:

It started development before the PS4 launched and was heavily marketed for it. Regardless of its obviously belaboured development cycle, this is a current/old gen game.

My current setup is a Ryzen 5 and RX560X. Not the meatiest gaming laptop in the world, but should still run it better than the base consoles after a few more patches, hopefully :hee:

It was until last April when they decided to pretend it wasn't finished so that they could future-proof it. It was pretty thinly-veiled IMO, they decided to make it (in spirit) an early-gen PS5 title rather than a late-gen PS4... and they've optimised with that in mind.

I've seen some PC gameplay from a preview review and it looks like it runs well on PC - but I think the reviewer was rockin' a 3090 sooo we'll see how my 1080ti holds up :umm2:. In theory 60+fps on high should be very possible... it generally matches a 2080 once you take Ray Tracing out of the equation. I just want nVidia to pull their finger out and get some 3080's back in stores :bawling:.

I think those baseline console versions are running "PC minimum" (aka "potato") settings... not even "recommended". That's pretty bad to be honest. I'm not convinced it's a good move for the company at all even if the game "as it's meant to be played" is great... especially when most people who thought they would have a next-gen console by now will be begrudgingly playing it on The Little PS4 That Could.

Well, it definitely has all of the most important customisation options covered...
