Possible. But they dropped the price and added a bundle with games included when I bought the ps4.

It’s more about the games.

I think we’ve settled on getting one of those thousands-in-one cabinets. The utility and value proposition wins out over the aesthetics.

Cyberpunk 2077 releases tomorrow. Really excited to get my hands on this. Sounds like a humongous world with nearly endless amounts of options. I love open ended games where you have a ton of options outside of the core linear story line.

After 2 hours of loading and updating, it is finally ready to play. Went through the character creation and then shut it down. Gonna spend a fat chunk of time on this tonight. You know it's a big game when it comes with a paper map included with it.

Man don't you hate waiting. Gone are the days where you open the game and play. Now you have to download the game and have a multiple hour wait before playing.

same thing happens when i haven’t played a particular game in a while...there’s almost always some bs update that i have to wait for

only occasionally does it do anything noticeable for the game

The damn game just got released to the public today as version 1.0 and it already had a version 1.02 to download. You've been developing the game for 8 fucking years, hire some better testers!

I suppose it's good they fix stuff as they find it but come on.

100% of the whole thing? or just completion of the story line?

i’m on my second run at the story line, but have yet to complete 100% of everything...that’s nuts

It's gorgeous.
I'd add The Last of Us 2 in there if talking pure realism.
I'd also throw in Skyrim and Windwaker.

Whole thing. I am at 97.7% right now, where it will sit until I get bored with this new game. I mostly need to find all the weird weapons still. I get a little OCD when it comes to.collectibles and achievable accomplishments in games. It's a thing, yeah I know. It goes a lot faster the 2nd time once you know all the things to do as you go through the story.

I got one for my wife--ordered it from Occulus 6 weeks before Christmas--and it will be here on the 11th. She's already collecting sleuth type games. Her first purchase was the Myst VR series.

Is it good? I read a few bad reviews about the hardware etc... and got scared off it a bit. How old are your kids, can they figure out how to do the games?

Oh, and if you are on a PS4/XB1, do not buy Cyberpunk 2077. It was not tested well on current gen hardware and is thus a buggy piece of shit. The game had the potential to be great but dropped the ball in a dozen key areas.

There are many parts of the game I really love but too many parts that suck and too many crashes to a blue screen of death. Whoever was in charge of testing should be fired. Lots of pointless parts and undeveloped possibilities. My guess is that developer lost out on billions of potential lost dollars.

Check back in 4 months to see if they have fixed the problems. Otherwise, save your money.
