If it weren’t for his role as emotionally charged gadfly Geralt of Rivia I’d have thought that Henry Cavill suffered from facial paralysis based on his DC roles.  

Show the path to drive transposed on the road like during the racing quests.

I’ve put in a lot of hours and aside from one quest stage failing to fire (a helicopter refused to land) and getting stuck in the wall after a truly epic motorcycle crash none of the bugs I’ve experienced on PC have been game breakers. There have been a ton; V’s pants keep disappearing, cars rain from the sky, three…

I don’t think you miss the car, IIRC it comes up for auction a few days later, though I’ve read that if he lives you get it for free.  

If you’re playing on normal that’s basically anyone. Apparently he didn’t bother to buy the anti-stunlock cyberware, so despite the fact that he probably cost as much as a moderately sized air craft carrier I beat him to death with a bat.

I think it was the edgelordy ad campaign. Ubisoft is pretty much objectively worse than CDPR in every way, yet they report every minor addition AssCreed Valhalla without feeling the need to remind us of how bad the publisher is.

Don’t forget the incredibly slow combat and, as far as I could tell, need to grind between segments.  I know it’s time to call it a loss and move on when I find myself seriously considering pausing the game to clean the bathroom because I know these enemies will take forever to kill and I just can’t be bothered.

Nah, it’s getting killed by the users too.  Some times critics are too quick to dismiss a game that’s just another game in X genre, but those usually have decent player scores at least.

Has your partner checked some tech support forums? IIRC some graphics cards can run the thing, you just have to change around some settings that you wouldn’t necessarily expect to help and potentially download what amounts to a fan patch.

You could say the same thing about practically every open world game.  Some are on a slower boil, but if they want to even have the pretense of a high stakes plot there will always be that disconnect, and when a game doesn’t people complain that the villains never do anything or the game lacks stakes.  It just comes…

I get that, but I also get why a romance with Claire was off the table. Given the reason she brings V into the races by the time you know her well enough to flirt you also know why that would be massively inappropriate.

There was one mission where this poor guard’s eyes were “malfunctioning” every minute as I kept passing by her position because occasionally your objective markers lie to you.

for the more fantasy inclined, Shadowrun

I love a good bug.  Crashes are enraging, but some of the best times I had in Skyrim were after that patch that disabled everyone’s damage resistance and made all the dragons fly backwards.

Because they seem to be the last big studio that focuses on single player games that have both scope and depth without trying to shoe horn a bunch of cash milking mechanics.

Especially since it was completely unnecessary. If he wanted to kill that priest lady he could have just dropped an anvil on her head, she didn’t move once in ten years.

I didn’t mind at the moment. It wasn’t particularly demanding and with a little bit of practice I was able to ace it. It’s just that, having seen what it actually looks like when you can watch Cloud and whatshisname without worrying about button presses it would have been better to put all the prompts in the same…

Though I feel like that was pretty bad game design since I was too busy looking around for button prompts to actually see the action. I watched it again on YouTube and it looked great, pity you can’t really get that when you’re in the game.

The major story beats might not have been original (or at least not all of them) but they added enough new sections and scenes that I think it deserves the nom.  

But if they don’t add grind how could Ubisoft insert microtransactions to make the game less grindy?
