I just broke my rule and preordered Armored Core VI, 23 hours before release. It’s also the first full price $60 game i’ve bought in probably ten years. I’m getting the shame and loathing out of the way rn so i can enjoy tomorrow

I am extremely hyped, this makes me nervous. The last thing I was hyped for was 2077 lmao.
2077 is pretty good now, but fuck what a journey it was to get here.
Is there an actual system for cops now?
There is going to be cop system in the upcoming free update alongside the Phantom liberty expansion. Plus some other things like vehicle combat
CW : a bit of gore in the game footage https://youtu.be/zBrkG3aeWCc Vehicle combat sounds neat
They announced an overhaul of the cop system (along with implementing Max Tac to fight players) in the patch next month dropping with the DLC. Problem is that they didn’t make clear what content is paid (DLC) and which content is free (patch). My gut feeling is that a cop system overhaul is so fundamental it has to be free, buy I don’t bet against CDPR fumbling the ball these days.
Also, lmao at Hexbear users wanting cops in any context.
Right so it MIGHT be what I expected it to be at launch, ish.
The problem I had was that I was expecting a Rockstar quality open world game and it didn’t even meet their standards for like, 15 years ago. Let alone the standards RDR2 has now set, the real working systems of loggers cutting down forests, loading them on trains is wild, not a looping animation like you’d expect, real working shit is absolutely everywhere it blows me away.
Yeah CDPR marketed and sold the game as something it really wasn’t. They painted themselves into a corner about how it was going to be this amazing RPG experience but in reality it was at best an open world shooter with like 3 branching endings.
I hope Rockstar set new standards again when GTA eventually happens. If it’s on par/better than RDR2 but in an open world city game with cars and traffic they’re really going to be in a league of their own. 2077 failed to meet GTA3 standards of basic open world city functionality, very pretty but more of a diorama than a sandbox. I feel like I’m running around a looping movie scene that has no reaction to me whatsoever rather than a participant in a world of systems, it’s very jarring. It worked for cdpr in Witcher 3 because small villages don’t have many different things people might be doing and the fantasy setting allows you to suspend disbelief much more, but in a city you have various expectations of how cities work and how they should react in any given scenario.
