That was me. I was so hyped for NMS. Preordered and got it day one. I’ve tried picking it up again but I think the bitter taste launch left me with makes it hard to continue. Similar to how I feel with Cyberpunk. I had insanely high hopes and was crushed.


I feel like an outlier with Cyberpunk. It immediately became a Mount Rushmore open world for me, and I got it at launch. My issue was hard crashes, and they happened frequently. But like I said then, auto-saves were everywhere and I never lost any progress. But I really loved just about everything with that game. The action, the characters, the world, the visuals. For different reasons, only Elden Ring stacks up.

This is the first time I've gone back to the game since I finished it and I'm anxious to see what kind of changes have been made. It looks phenomenal and I haven't seen any glitches or had any hard crashes.


Yea it wasn’t super buggy for me, but I felt so much of what was promise was left out. I put about 20 hours into it, but I do plan to go back at some point when it’s even more flush with content. My backlog is too massive and life is too busy now though. The way she goes, Ricky, the way she goes.

I played NMS at launch, it was fun early on but great repetitive as it felt limited at the time, sold it and never went back.

Purchased Cyberpunk at launch, it was buggy as can be, took the offer to get my $ back on the digital purchase, never went back.

I often question if I should pick them up again.

It's in a much better state now. Like 10x better. I loaded it up a few months ago and had a blast with it again, but waiting for the DLC before I commit a lot of time to it.

FF16 demo is out too and it looks pretty sick. Might try and play it a bit during lunch here, but also might just wait for release.

With Cyberpunk, I weirdly never had any issues with crashes. It was just a lot of weird little bugs like cigarettes floating in the air, Keanu Reeves being invisible, people's lips not moving with the words, etc.

Absolutely fell in love with the world though and am excited to get back into it when the DLC comes out.

The FF16 demo is the full prologue, and progress carries over into the full game upon release. I'll definitely be checking it out this week.

Interesting timing. All the hype going for Starfield right now and Ubisoft hasn't had the best track record lately. But we finally get an open world Star Wars game so I hope it's at least decent.

Yeah, I’m actually playing Cyberpunk right now and you nailed it, for me it’s just been a bunch of hilarious bugs that make me laugh but don’t *really* hinder gameplay at all outside of the occasional frame drop. Like cars being at parked at a 45 degree angle or being half underground when you’re riding along for a quest lol.

It’s a good game at this point. It didn’t blow me away but it’s fun if you readjust your expectations. Like it’s not gonna have near the world depth and level of detail with NPCs as RDR2 or something but just going through the main/side gigs it’s pretty well done, and it’s **** gorgeous.

Kinda interested, but the gameplay looks really dull.

MIG106 if you feel like kicking a newbie's ass.

You sure it’s MIG106? Or was that your PSN not your SF6 name?

Not my PSN, but I might be confused. Is your IGN the same as your avatar's name? It's looking so, which seems like a weird choice. I just changed it back to MIG106. Online ID MikeIsGood, and User Code 3188968641.

Mine's 2738914749

I thought I had controls saved correctly. Didn't. Surprised my first online match was sorta competitive considering none of my button inputs worked like I wanted.

Gameplay is much slower in comparison. D3 you could haul ass through Greater Rifts, not seeing that kind of speed thus far.

After playing Path of Exile where the meta is fly through maps as fast as you can, I'm really enjoying it tbh.

Combat feels crisp, graphics are great, story was fun, really great cutscenes. If you liked D3, you will definitely like D4.

No Crusader / Paladin class is my only complaint thus far tbh.


I think my only real gripe right now (still in campaign and taking my time) is that the scaling feels awful. I don't feel like I'm getting more powerful; it's just adapting to keep up. Which makes sense as you progress in zones, but when I'm back in Kyovashad and I see a wolf I shouldn't need to lay 5 ice shards into it.

Don't think it'll keep me from playing long-term, but it is really annoying and I think they need to address it. It's just not implemented well.


Yeah that gets a bit annoying as you progress, especially if you don't get any upgrade pieces for a few levels. You shouldn't feel weaker as you advance levels, but it does feel that way at the moment.


The health potion one bothers me as well. Only being able to improve their potency every 10-15 levels. I carry the same number of health potions, why are they less useful as I progress levels (for example level 28 its less % of my overall health) then suddenly at 31 they're far more beneficial for a while...

I trusted in YoshiP and he seemed to have delivered. 16 is fun, beautiful, and dark. I can’t wait for the pc version it’s gonna look so nuts

From what some early access people have been saying re: the 2077 expac, it drastically changes things in the base game. Going to be a clear reinvention. Very much looking forward to playing through V's story once more and I literally did 100% of everything in Night City the first time.

Liked FF16 demo, definitely going to get it at launch. Screen clutter was not an issue on my big screen, as hoped. But the motion blur is terrible and I hope they let us adjust it.

Following this thread almost feels I need to pick up Cyberpunk whiles its $25, and get ready for the DLC.

I also feel I'm very close to caving into the hype of Diablo even though I’ve never played one and it’s maybe not my style. I see so much of it on Twitter and all over I want to try it lol. I have so much left to play though and so much I could return to finish.

Return to Milwaukee Bucks
