  Why do I get the impression if you get that email from management you’re hemorrhaging worse than the top TV doctors could save you? Unless it’s an end of season episode, but mid season they’re playing some sad music before the end. Oh and look it’s mid season…unless you’re on a streaming schedule.

  Damn I’m old, they’re all on a streaming schedule now eh?

  They probably assumed from Witcher 3 it was mostly fine. I played a fair number of hours on PC, I think the second (maybe 3rd) time it crashed for me was when I was playing the dlc intro, and I don’t think I noticed any horrible bugs. Now I’m not saying they weren’t there of course but this may have all been that reviewers saw as well. Also I think PC was much better on launch than the console so that may have played a big part in it.

  I never read many reviews ahead of time to know what promised features were excluded but I’m sure there were a number, so that should have sunk the score noticably.

  I would say it’s easily a great game now, but mostly I love the attitude and aesthetics of cyberpunk (the genre) and this was one of the recent games that did that part right.

  The Rainbow Six game in Las Vegas had billboard ads back in the day. I was kinda surprised it didn’t get worse since then. There’s a Penny Arcade comic for it.

  I’m sure the very thoughtful part will be about how much money it can bring in without people getting too upset about it.

  Their release wasn’t great for many people but they did improve it constantly over the years. To be fair as a PC player I didn’t have many issues so my opinion is biased.

  I’m not even sure God Emperor would make a good movie,there’s some decent action but mostly off screen and so much is Leeto just talking to Monro. Though it is my favorite of the series, I’d be curious how they portray Leeto.

  As for the rest, I enjoyed them and listened to multiple times but more to hear the lore I may have missed than enjoying the entire story. I did like Teg and more Duncan and the Bene Gesserit more, but I didn’t care for the Honored Matres and other factions too much.

  I tried some online stuff (no friends and just casual play) with V and it wasn’t interesting at all to me. Mean the story wasn’t stellar in V but I had enough fun through single player. Hopefully they put at least the same effort in VI’s single player. Though with all the companies wanting more money I bet there’ll be more focus for online from the start this time.
