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 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.
