Sony pulled the game and is issuing full refunds? That escalated quickly.

I’m shelving this for about 5 months until the PS5 patch is released.

I'm having a blast. Had the initial problem of the game not starting, but about 20 minutes after I posted about that, I had it fixed by finally upgrading to windows 10 from 8. Which didn't cost anything.
I've had a couple of minor issues, but nothing serious. And nothing that reloading didn't solve. I'm driving around in my badass cars, winning races, ****ing shit up with my pistol. One of very few games where I am not tempted to fast travel very often. I have too much fun driving. My favorite cars are a couple of Nomad rides. The Type-66 Javelina and the Shion Coyote. I have a Caliburn, and it's pretty cool I guess, but I like those other two better. My only gripe is I wish the gps worked like it does in the races, with it on the road instead of the minimap. Or at least let me zoom out on the minimap. Always coming in hot on the turns cuz you can't see them coming at 200 mph. This game reminds me a lot of Sleeping Dogs. That game was martial arts instead of guns and cyberware, but the driving is very similar and story driven quests. I had a lot of fun driving around Hong Kong in that game. And I got it during a steam sale for like 3 bucks. Best money I ever spent. |

The driving can be frustrating though. Some of the vehicles you're forced to drive handle like slippery dogshit. Like to a ridiculous extreme.

Yeah, that Coyote is about the only car I can drive reliably without plowing into pedestrians eventually.

Beast In Me is the questline, I believe.

I hope there are more races after that questline, but I have a feeling there aren't. Maybe some DLC or something later. i love that shit.
Yeah, some of the cars are really slippery, some are really twitchy. Gotta slow down a little in some of them. I'm happy that the two cars I think look the coolest also happen to drive the best imo. |

Just did a gig for Regina that involved a father and son duo editing ****ed up XBDs. The gig itself was to recover the raw recording of a little boy being murdered, but they edited all kinds of extremely ****ed up shit.
Spoiler!
Bad bugs and stupid AI aside, this game is a masterpiece. Goddamn.

It seems like people either love this game or absolutely can't stand it, there's no in-between.

If you leveled into technical ability, there's an absurdly powerful gun that you can craft after reaching level 18 in the skill progression for crafting. DR12 Quasar. I've got this thing healing about 75 for every shot I hit and it hits at least 5k per shot at minimum. 20 round tech revolver

I get the hate, don't get me wrong. The AI is stupid and predictable. Cops spawn behind you in the most ridiculously bad and hilarious way if you commit a crime. The crafting system is a complete joke and I have no idea why it's even there. The story telling (both writing and acting) and the attention to detail are just unmatched and I'm a sucker for that shit. The references and cameos are awesome. Some people hate the combat, but I'm playing the game on hard and I'm enjoying it. I am not a bullet sponge and will die pretty quickly if I just run and gun. Using a katana and slicing people into bits is satisfying. My power assault rifles feel crunchy. All the things I like. Stealthing and hacking can make this game complete ezmode but if I decide to go that route in a given mission, it just makes me feel like a badass, haha. I do feel like this game is kind of a marvel of technological achievement in some aspects. My brain starts hurting when I try to think about the gargantuan task it was to build this massive, intricate city, code all of the possible quest trees, animate the scenes and record the dialogue. The fact that the quest trees are also intertwined in a lot of cases just blows my mind.

The game is just a ****ing experience man.
I banged the gay prostitute just because he was there. Believe me, I'm not gay. I banged the straight hooker first.

The tech rifle charging capability almost makes combat too easy. You can ping all the enemies, charge it and just blast them shooting through the walls or whatever they're hiding behind. You can just stand there in one spot and mow all of them down.
