Will play later today, and post impressions!

It was pretty darn great. I'll say that much.

Cloud was very fun to play as. Between the two fighting styles, and ease with which you could combo between multiple enemies, there was a lot to love there.

I thought the robot scorpion was much more of a challenge than I’d expect from something that early into the game. The fight went on a long time, but I felt like I learnt a lot during it, so want to do another run and see how I fare with greater preparation.

The redone soundtrack was sublime, and on the whole it was a great section to revisit, and get a good idea as to the scale of this reimagining. Can’t wait to play more!

Yeah, it's interesting how it feels snappy and crisp in terms of action combat, but ultimately it still feels like it's more about strategy than execution. I almost ran out of healing on the boss my first try. But the second time I fared much better because I experimented more.

guessing you didn't open all the treasure chests then if you almost ran out of healing items. i had like 23 potions going into the fight. used maybe three or four of them.

No, I did. From what I've seen, that's actually most people's experience, is running rather low on healing. Probably because most people try to brute force it, and realize that's not going to work.

It's really happening. All of the fans satisfied?

I'll give it two years and play it eventually. At least I'll have cyberpunk. (Which isn't really a lesser alternative since it'll most likely be the better game).

If Witcher 3 is anything to go by, it certainly won't be the better game Nah, it looks good, lol.

My only gripe was the camera. Tried changing the settings but didn't get it to my liking. Not a game changer or anything, as I'm still getting this regardless.

The witcher 3 has some really great quests and storylines at times (I love the whole blood and wine expansion) and at other times you're stuck doing mundane padding quests or trying to farm materials for armor upgrades. Overall I'd take that over like 90% of side quests being repetitve padding like in final fantasy XV. I'm interested to see if cyberpunk will have even more quality quests. Hopefully it's fire because I need a good scifi rpg after the last deus ex. I'm also curious if they'll add more side content to FFVII remake then what was on the initial game. Could use more god tier optional bosses too.

Yeah, Witcher 3 has a lot of good points, but damn does it combat/RPG design kinda suck. And the main story spends like 45 hours spinning its wheels. I think Cyberpunk will probably be a lot stronger.
