Looking back, I really loved the early part of the game when you were underpowered. I still remember racing back on the bike to the camp on top of the hill at night and there are zombies everywhere chasing me, barely getting the gate open in time. It was intense, scary, and had me sweating a little. Had not experienced that same scenario too many times in a game.
That is the challenge though...balancing realism with player satisfaction. I hated the running out of gas with the bike at times, but again looking back, it was pretty cool to have to go into a town, find gas, and bring it back. Just hope more games go for this balancing and ignore the noise from players who do not want a challenge as this is so much more realistic...and fun. Great game.
Game-breaking bugs, no advanced copies provided for review prior to going on sale, frame rate issues, janky animations, no communication of the real features or performance quality, all for a top shelf price....hmmm, this sounds awfully familiar to another developer we all know.
Believe me, I do not forgive CDPR. But, they are not the only dev that needs to be ridiculed and held accountable. Why should R* and the other devs with this janky crap not be taken off the stores to fix it or ripped to threads? I just want all of them to be held to the same standard and R* intentionally stayed quiet as they knew what they had here. And don't say because this is 2002 code. They are selling it at a premium price, so we should expect better.
Received mine on the same day as my LG CX 77 was installed. Talk about crazy and awesome timing.
Only tried it for a few hours, but a few of my initial impressions:
It is not only big, but it is SOLID. But it did fit in my entertainment console...somehow.
Like a few others have said, the UI takes a little to get used to, but it really is slick and feels like a true evolution. Feels next gen. Very snappy, high-end look, and love the ease to get into the game.
Was figuring the reviews on Astrobot and the controller may be exaggerated, but wow...what an upgrade from PS4. Everything about it is great. But, the skating...wow, you really do feel you are skating. Bravo to Sony.
Miles Morales opening was so well done and only possible with the SSD. Game was literally non-stop for first 30 minutes.
The city in MM felt so much more alive...character facial animations will likely still improve over time as they are okay, but the raytracing and active draw distance are awesome.
PS Store will take getting used to, but so much better integrated and feeling part of the UI than the PS4.
Even running MM in Fidelity mode, never heard a whisper from the PS5. Very quiet.

Great start Sony.
