Anybody else here gonna download but try to hold out to play until Xmas? There's nothing else out worth getting for that lovely annual extended playtime (maybe Empire of Sin), but I'm worried if I start it next week I will definitely have it done and dusted within a week or 2...

I can't hold out anymore. 10th of December for me and not a day longer.

No. I could have a stroke on the 12th and die. Feck waiting.

Well, if I knew I was going to die, I'd probably have a stroke first too.

This is exactly what I am doing. I always save my most anticipated game for Christmas. My copy is arriving on launch day but its gonna sit there until Christmas Eve.

The upshot of this is that they will probably have released at least one patch between release and when I play it.

Exactly my thinking as well. - a week or 2 to let a patch surface, roll a scooby dooby and fill a glass of rum on Xmas eve and kick it all off. The only struggle will be staying away from the icon on the start screen (and probably this thread!) until then

I'll be waiting for the performance reports to come in. If it seems like it will run well on my system then I'll probably play it anytime I'm free which won't be much even through xmas. I've been waiting nearly 7 years for it already... I can hold out a few days more.

If it performs badly I'll drop it and wait to enjoy it on a new 2021 PC. This 8 year old one is starting to lose it.

Not sure if I should post this. In fact, I'm not sure if the redditor should have posted this seeing as it's clearly an unpatched version of the game but if the redditor is to be believed apparently the game itself is amazing but extremely buggy:

cnocbui · 04-12-2020 02:51PM

Well my household is going to be a case of the haves and the have-nots. I'll be playing it on an my Xbox one X via 1080p on a 12 year old 55" plama TV, while my son will be playing it on his high end gaming rig at 60fps on his new 4K 120hz monitor, that arrived this morning:

Grrrrrrr....

Xenji · 04-12-2020 05:51PM

Hearing it is buggy does not really surprise me, The Witcher 3 ended up with about 20 patches.

J. Marston · 04-12-2020 07:28PM

Been reading that the streets are more or less empty. Doesn't really lend itself to bustling Night City.

one armed dwarf · 04-12-2020 07:47PM

People reckon there's a NPC density slider on PC, although I might be talking ****e. But Witcher 3 definitely had a setting like that, so maybe next gen patch will enable same for next gen consoles.

Kind of an unfortunate thing that the PS5 and Series X are only doing 2077 via backwards compat at first

Still going to be improvements.

Most games are going with a performance and a quality mode now, even for games on One and PS4 ( X and Pro). A quality mode could hit a constant 30 while it might dip on last gen and performance could be a consistent 60.

Zero-Cool · 04-12-2020 10:36PM

Just saw an ad on telly for this, the one with Keanu taking about Night City. Hook it to my ****ing veins!

Zero-Cool · 04-12-2020 11:14PM

Guy reviewing it shared some thoughts, hefty upgrade. Hopefully this gets included with preload as i want to play this midnight but no chance with a 40gb update.

Even COD is pushing their stuff, season update for 16th from original 10th.

cnocbui · 05-12-2020 11:48AM

Thank goodness I have 150 Mbps.

The Phantom Pain · 05-12-2020 12:34PM

I predicted a huge patch when they announced the delay after going gold.
This might be day 2 buy for me. I'm going to wait for player feedback as reviewers a re typically lenient with bugs due to playing it without a day 1 patch.

I'm downloading this because this has one of the worst box arts I've ever seen from a video game company. If I have to look at that ugly yellow template again I'm gonna vomit lol

Digital is the way to go!

Looking forward to this but I will wait for the series X patch before I pick it up.

I'd like to think I'll do the same. I am disappointed that they delayed and delayed and delayed for the old gen consoles when time may have been better spent just putting it on the next gen. Most interested are probably going to upgrade at some point or another.

So far none of the demos grabbed me, it looks too much like what I've seen before and keanu reeves still looks like an actor reading his lines from cue cards when he learned how to read a week before. It's why his best films are ones where he doesn't need to talk much.

They made the correct decision. The very low availability of next gen consoles makes them a tiny, pointless market which should be the last thing they cater to.

My friend in Argos said they just got their shipment in. 4 days left.

Edit. €59 euro as well, good price.
