i bought the game at release and played it on a high end pc (rtx 3090)
i have logged in 60h and finished the campaign and also did some side exploration and i have to say: i have the exact same complaints that people with 800 or more hours played have so i honestly guys dont understand how you could stand playing this game so long, seriously. the writing was on the wall for me after the first 5h or so.
anyways, these are my takeaways from the game 6 months after release
1) graphics wise its a mixed bag: it can look great at times but also many corners of the world feel straight like the quality of Fallout graphics, meaning outdated, blurry textures, simplistic geometry etc.
2) the open world feels dead, there is not enough variety in terms of side missions, encounters etc.
3) the UI is bad, managing inventory is more than annoying and does not inspire you to want to actually be too long inside it and craft stuff and whatnot.
4) traversing the world is ok, but the population at times looks braindead, the traffic is very weird, distant traffic is just a ghost, feels really bad to see cars coming towards you, you run to get them and they just then disappear. super bad feeling
5) i did not find the story very captivating tbh, witcher 3 was way better, same goes for the voice acting i have to say
6) keanu reeves as Johnny did nothing for me, i found his performance numb
7) artdesign of weapons, cars and outfit is great - unfortunatelly there is no transmog which can be argued does not matter, but then again in the real world i also dont always see myself looking down but still i dress in a certain way. same i would do with V - it does not matter that i dont see my character, i just know how i look for others and thats what makes me feel good about myself.
8) the game world simply is not finished, many aspects of the game are missing, for example physicalized trains, rooms that are just cut off etc
9) car physics are weird and shooting does not really feel good either.
all in all: very VERY disappointed, i wish i had my 60 bucks back, this game to me is not worth more than 29,99 in its current state and for what it offers.
