holy crap! this is 181 songs, over 8 hours! Lot's of environmental and character pieces it seems. Awesome.

The beep is often quickly followed by "... are you playing again?" I'd rather not announce it every time.

Hey, updated to PS5 version and it crashed after 20 minutes. I don't even. What an utter piece of *****.

Damn I can't put this game down. Finished the main story with two endings, close to 50 hours in.. what a great game and atmosphere. Crashed with credits rolling 😳but who cares...

Crashes on my PS5 every 90mins or so, also cannot exit settings if I change graphics options. Others also report not being able to look around using right stick anymore. I'm putting this down to protect my saves / progress for now.

I've never seen bugs like this on any PS game.. unbelievable. I'm thinking inside job - either CDPR has been hacked or they have begrudged employers wanting to burn it all down.. .. yeah surely I'm kidding

Final comment, I promise.. spent more hours in Night City getting familiar with different perks and playstyles and actually they are all good, there are many, many effective ways to play this game. It will be a good game eventually.

CDPR just wrote a blog post committing to fixing and improving the game. Nothing new but nice to get this message from the devs.

@Hampie thanks!! I've been moving to this direction too. Would like to try more stealthy or other gameplay styles, but they just seem so ineffective from the start. But let's see, I'm going to just wait and see how long it takes for this game to mature and get better.

I got a few more crashes again so cold-booting ps5 is no permanent fix. It seems my crash-free playtime was a section of the game outside night city, might have something to do with it.

Somehow I still like the city and visual style so I'm ok with things going forward from here...

I did what CDPR recommends, and turned PS5 off and unplugged the power cord for a few minutes. Starting Cyberpunk there was a new progress bar for a moment, and I played for a few hours without it crashing. Previously it would crash every 1,5 hours or so. Go figure.

Update 1.04 ups the resolution and it no longer looks blocky and low-res. All settings are still reset every launch. The combat feels like I might want to play this on Easy difficulty to focus on stories and enjoying the city..

I've also played the disc-version and the PSN-version too, so maybe that complicates things. Good to see it still works regardless of all the versions I've tried and played.

There are so many versions of Destiny 2 in PSN that I spent some time looking for the right download.. there's "Destiny 2" without indication of PS4 or PS5, marked "unavailable", but clicking "Learn more" it threw me to a version (same name!) with release date today. Now downloading that on my PS5!

Looks fine, different is good, also I don't care one bit. The internals and features are great so I'm buying one no matter how it looks.

"Dry"? What the hell, this was one of the most amazing presentations I've watched - full of deep dives into why PS5 isn't just same old PC hardware on a different box. My preorder is already in...

Problem with HRTF is that it's not easy to record your personal HRTF dataset. Cerny gave some ideas how they might address this, all we can do at this point is hope they get decent results that work well for lots of people..

@Jaz007 > "It needs surround sound to be truly immersive though. Stereo is still stereo 3D audio or not"

It doesn't. The magic of HRTF is that sound is filtered so it gets to your (two) ears exactly like it normally would. You can try this by recording something with in-ear microphones. The mics will record sound as you hear it - after reflections from your head, shoulders and ears. When you play that back with stereo headphones you get 3d audio as good as you naturally have it. It's amazing that Sony is taking this approach!

if only he knew how to a) write stories b) direct a film

With some ~20 unstarted games on the backlog, I wasn't going to buy this one yet.

Downloading...

Nice "leap of faith" at the end of the trailer. Will this thing fly or crash?

Whohohohohohoohoa! Just had my first proper game-vr experience with this title. Pretty awesome. This is not a "not bad" game. As for first impression I'm more than glad. Looking to try other games but not before I play more of this. And I didn't even have the chance to plugin my T150 wheel yet...

Can you adjust the brightness of the PSVR display? Sometimes my eyes get very sensitive to light (getting old?), and having a display right against them might be a bit too much... ?

eventually will be buying.. as in, after whenever I'll buy a new tv or when the current PS4 breaks..

HDR and 4K (or something between). yay! What's not to like?

I don't think you'll come across very many who actually have played it and didn't like. It's a good one. Put on headphones like JeffTurboWizard said.

> "It's not their fault that people's expectations snowballed out of control."

Actually.. It kind of is. Hello Games kept promoting the game with demos, footage and features that are not in the final game. Here's a rather rambling summary making rounds in reddits of the internet:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/4y1h9i/wheres_the_no_mans_sky_we_were_sold_on_a_big_list/

Here's another quote: "When he desired the possibility of green skies, the team had to redesign the periodic table to create atmospheric particles that would diffract light at just the right wavelength."

Such total, utter marketing.

The more you re-read their PR leading to the launch, the nastier it gets, actually. Up to the very days until release when Murray pleaded people not to "spoil the experience" for themselves (by watching actual final gameplay footage) - or worse yet, to cancel that pre-order..

I bought PS4 for this title 2 years back and made like 74 preorders already. Only ~30 days to go!

#5 shows some taste was also involved.

ignore my profile pic for this comment.

Was going to buy a second PS4, but now, have to wait.

What would be the perfect remote play laptop, then? Good screen, light, affordable, bed-friendly?

@whywai88 Since Episode Duscae. And Gran Turismo 5 Prologue.

Played about an hour or so. This game is utterly mind-numbing. Loving the lobotomy so it was money well spent.

Monster Monpiece for $1.99.
Waiting for same on eu psn.

is the dynamic theme procedural as well???

@andreoni79 USB is the speed bottleneck here. Overall an external drive would be slower than internal, which could be a problem for continuous streamloading games. That's a problem worth staying away from. Really, swapping a 2TB drive is very easy.

@get2sammyb The amazon buy link has your tag/identifier in it though? Decoration?

Enjoying your site btw. And I've found with multiple controllers and a charge dock the issue of battery time never comes up...

This advertisement is now a featured article? Really?
edit: I take back calling this an ad. Not nice of me.

Of course - with one exception, Just Cause 3. Never felt the need to fast travel in that one. Go figure.

Bought. Seems wonderful after a few hours. When you know, you know you know.

I will buy this for the art style alone. It's gorgeous. Like oil painting on plexiglass. Like these: http://www.tiinamielonen.com/paintings.html

The OS / firmware is just fine. There are no substantial missing features. I much prefer a solid, stable experience to a constant assault of updates. Keep it slow. A+ for firmware.

This. In VR.

I don't get the selection of aesthetics in this demo. 90's VR is not cool. It didn't take off then so shouldn't they avoid any resemblance to the failed VRs of yesteryear?

Should I demand a refund of "Wander" then? Metacritic score: 28.
