Mine has been fine (Both versions digital though)

Did you change the "Game Version" in the settings when selecting the game.

Normally I wouldn’t consider doing this, but I already paid full price for the Xbox One version of Cyberpunk 2077, so I don’t know how bad I’d feel about paying half price for the PC version considering how bad the console version is right now.

GOG is owned by CDPR so honestly you are probably putting as much or more money in the developers pockets as you would be paying retail price and steam or wherever

Ultra, RTX, 60 (with Gig internet)

I must say I was impressed

Thanks for this. Just d/l the free version to test and was impressed enough I signed up for a month. It runs great at 60 fps with Ray Tracing Ultra setting with a few stutters here and there but not enough to make me hate it. I think I'm 15-20 hours into my current playthrough but I think I'm going to start over fresh tonight.

I try to, but it always says PS5 trial and then the trial doesn't work. PS4 full works fine. Tonight I uninstalled the game from my PS account and reinstalled everything under my wife's PS account (she does not have EA Play) and was able to get the upgrade, see it says PS5 full and play it as normal. It would seem EA Play is the problem.

I would hope police would be able to teleport instantly to the scene of a crime in 2077.

I like using it to quickly play games I don't have installed. Its a good value for the price IMO especially with the app on android and soon on ios

I picked up a copy of Seikiro and took it for a spin... holy hell is this game nuts! I thought I was cleverly playing the game, until I did some combat training and the game tells me I'm basically a snail? Jeez, some of the combat feels like a 3D arcade fighter level of speed, combos and pace requirement.

One of my all time favorite games that I never finished because it was just too damn hard. I put 60+ hours into this one and when you get close to the end some of the bosses require absolute perfection and after dying over, and over, and over again I came to the conclusion I lack the twitch reflexes in my hands to pull of the required blocking and countering required to defeat the end bosses. You need to have street fighter elite hand skills IMO to finish this one. I still thoroughly enjoyed the game until it became impossible for me which is telling of a really well made game.

I loved Sekiro more than any other From game, I played it through a few times and then looked up the stuff I missed and went back to play it again to find the extra stuff. Super fun game.

What kinds of speeds do you need? I get 150ish down and am wondering what the results would be.

I am not a gamer so hearing this has been in dev for 7 years is incredible. Even the trailer back then said coming...when its ready. Bravo smart guys.

Honestly I stopped playing it. Even if I had a PC I found the dialog corny, the mechanics were like a Fallout/COD/GTA jack of all master of none.

I think it is like Fallout 76. Great idea on paper but overly ambitious. I can’t see them fixing the game for PS4, so on the shelf it goes until PS5 time. Maybe then it will be on sale.

Never played Control and picked up a copy for $30. What a different experience.

CP2077 feels like someone saw Deus Ex - Mankind Divided and thought "I want to make that game but open world like GTA" and then did all the things those games executed on really well at about 50% of the quality of those games at best. Ambitious but missed the mark hard.

I am really looking forward to Control, supposed to be something of a spiritual successor of Quantum Break, which I also liked.

Control is great. Has some performance issues on last generation, play on current gen if possible.

Control is a big improvement on Quantum Break, and is a fantastic game. I enjoyed Quantum Break, but it is not on the same level as Control.

Epic games is giving away free PC games every day starting Dec 17 to Dec 31.

edit: apparently that leaked list is being questioned heavily

You only need 25 for 1080p / 60FPS I’ve played from my phone over wifi and still get really good connection. Not all games are available which is my only
Issue with it.

They have a speed test in their app but DL speed is more than enough, give destiny 2 a shot its free

Jesper Kyd was brought back to do the musical score for Valhalla (among others), he composed all the music during the Ezio trilogy. This is the first time he has worked on an Assassin's Creed game since Revelations way back in 2011.

Glad to see him back, and AC slowly bringing back ambient music in heavier amounts after getting away from it for quite a few years. Really helps set the tone when free roaming I find.

Good call. I noticed that the game was pretty 'silent' compared to other games. I might have to change my options, as I've always like the musical soundtrack in the AC games.

GOTY of 2019. If David Lynch made a game it would be Control. The telekinesis elements are some of the best I've played in a video game.
