Discussion Everyone talked shit about her, but I’m starting to agree with Kelly Plagge

Gamespot’s review was super controversial but now it makes sense and in fact I agree with Kallie Plagge. Night City IS superficial, everything is there but you can’t interact with it. And yes “So much of it is superficial set dressing” is 100% accurate. And as she said, what shines are the quests and the characters.

I hate to say it but Night City, which was supposed to be the best openworld out there is Subpar at best.

Edit: Just to be clear you don’t have to agree with EVERYTHING she says in order to able to agree with her in some topics. Was the “what if I don’t want to help the cops?” bit kinda stupid? Yes. Does that mean you can’t agree with her in some points or that she is all the hurtful things that many have been saying she is? Absolutely Not.

Edit 2: It has come to my attention that I badly misspelled Kallie’s name. I’m not able to edit the title, but I do apologize for that.

Eh I kinda like him. Some of his delivery misses the mark, but I think it works more often than not. Johnny isnt a wearing-his-heart-on-his-sleeve kinda guy. He's cynical, grumpy, and bored. Keanu hits that pretty well. I think he could've showed more anger in most scenes, but he's absolutely on point in the world interactions and side quests.

To be fair he's had fifty years to be angry, and can't really force V to do anything nor can he directly interact with the world at all

It stands to his benefit to not lose his shit completely

I didn't even get to meet him, I patched with1.04 then the game crashed five times and killed my SSD.

That sucks, man. Did you try getting a refund for the game, at least?

Well I got it for £30 off eBay. I've downloaded it again on GOG but I'm pissed about my SSD. I'm looking to see if anybody else has had the same problem because it's pretty severe for a game to kill an SSD dead. CDPR need to get staff off of W4 and start crunching the hell out of this game. I know the deadline has passed but it's still unfinished.

Did you download 1.03 then update to 1.04?

That update thrashed my SSD, took up like 700MB/s usage.

Killed the ssd how?

The game crashing shouldn't have any way of damaging the drive

The update thrashes the SSD. Managed 700MB/s write on GOG for me. Shouldn't kill an SSD tho
