      Worth it. Phantom Liberty’s not bad, either, although I waited for it to go on sale.

      I mean, it’s not the gaming revolution it was hyped as, but the storylines are all good, the mechanics are fun, and for $20, you’ve almost nothing to lose.

            I’d pay that for it. It used to be $30, and contains a healthy chunk of solid single player story stuff to do in a whole new map area. I would wait until you are just about done with the main game before engaging with any of the phantom liberty stuff though.

      Despite most people saying it didn’t quite live up to the hype, maybe I had an appropriate amount of hype, cuz it totally lived up to the hype for me. Even initially when it was still pretty buggy at launch. Though I have also gone back and played it in VR too. I played a melee character at launch, knowing that it was going to be the most stable for the turbulent times. Then I played a precision shooter as my next character once the game got pretty fixed/stable. Then I played my tech/“caster” in VR once the game was fully good and ran well enough on my hardware that I could get comfortable frame rates(at least 90fps) using all the features the Luke Ross mod now supports for making VR look good at easy-to-run settings.

      What’s kept you from playing it? In my opinion the game is a steal at ~$20, but there are some hopes and expectations certain people had for it that were never able to be addressed in patches. If you were one of those that wanted RDR2-but-cyberpunk or a blank slate RPG where you could be whoever you wanted in Night City then yeah, the game is never going to be that.

      It’s a very cinematic, immersive and fun linear action game though, that comes stapled with a gorgeous and well designed - if ultimately shallow - open world on top.

        Mostly just not having enough time and then it can be hard to justify buying it at full price.

      I had a blast with it. It’s also the only game in a very long time where I actually missed “the world” after I had completed it. It was the most immersive experience in gaming I had in about a decade. Performance issues have long been solved, if that was still a concern.

    I got DOOM, The Witcher, and the Thief bundle. Even though I have them all on Steam and Epic. 🫣 The duplicates are starting to stack up.
