17gb on PS5. Couldn't download it as i didn't have enough space. I had 50gb free, had to delete one of the few games left to start the download. I thought that Bollox wouldn't happen on the PS5.

You need to invest in an external drive man, 4TB are cheap enough these days. I got one last Xmas and have about 90 games installed between flat screen and VR, with about 900Gb still to spare

Ye I'll have to keep an eye out for one in the new year i think.

Nearly 70GB's in updates in the first 48 hours. What a smooth launch.

turning additive camera motions to off is a HUGE improvement.

At least both consoles now have same day certification for stuff, compared to years ago where you'd be a week waiting after the patch was done.

If you don't mind used, western digital sell their refurbished stuff. It goes extremely fast and if you set up notifications it might be gone by the time you log on.

Whatever about the launch but fair play to them for turning around a patch so fast (and yes I know they shouldn’t have credit for doing that but it’s speedy and a good sign they will fix the bugs this game has). What the patch does now is another thing altogether but I’m hopeful for the fact it’s weighing in at nearly 18GB that substantial fixes are inbound.

For anyone who does not particularly hate him, Blindboy is currently playing it on twitch.

Does it redownload the first patch? Updating mine now after it crashed again and it's just over 45gb.

So far it’s a poor man Deus Ex.
Hoping it picks up but combat is terrible so far into it.
To me there hasn’t been a game created like the original Deus Ex and Christ that’s about 20 years ago.

EoinHef

Feels like a good game buried under technical issues for me.

I do enjoy it when it works,unfortunately the technical issues do get in the way.

Not enough for me to stop playing atm but I can see it grinding away at me if the patches don't resolve the issues

Graphics are not everything but its the crashes and low framerate that will kill it for me

Emm...Deus Ex Human Revolution?

Think my settings have just been resetting every time I've started the game.

Yupp, I've had to turn off horizontal/vertical bonus a few times now. Also found brightness settings once hdr was returned off, game definitely looks better but i find I'll be in a cool scene, open photomode but unable to take a good shot because something will look off whether it's the character or some of the scenery.

Anyway, still really enjoying the game. Katana from the free rewards on gog and found a boke a while ago, class cruising around on it in first person, way more fun than driving a car.

The original Dues Ex back in 2000.
One of the finest games ever made IMO.

Really enjoying it. One of the best looking games I have played in awhile (playing on pc. Ray tracing and hdr make it look amazing at times). Nice to play an open world so detailed and interesting to look at. Have not had any major bugs luckily enough, just some small jiggly graphical glitches. Enjoyed the last 2 deus ex games and this is scratching the itch for me. Enjoying the story and missions so far. Exceeding my expectations so far as I thought the trailers leading up to the launch all looked terrible. Seen some console footage on the base consoles though. Looks like a bit of a **** show though.

johnny_ultimate

It might be just me, but genuinely think the game looks better again on PS5 after the new patch? Looks really sharp generally, with a lot of that mild murkiness from before gone. Again, I’m possibly imagining it, but was surprised how good some scenes looked while playing tonight.

I'm having a rough time with the gameplay still but I'm getting more into the groove of my spec which is basically a ripoff of a Biotic from Mass Effect. I've turned the difficulty all the way up so there's some actual danger in fights and am trying to get better at hacking. I have got some perks now which recharge RAM faster and I've worked out how to reduce the cost of my hacks, so I am relying on them a lot more in a way that makes me like a sort of techno mage, frying brains remotely and turning the eyeballs off other people, then turning to guns while my abilities go on cooldown. It's not deep but it's getting to something. It's nothing remotely as interesting as what you can do in a Deus Ex or a Mass Effect though. You can hack cameras and then hack people through cameras, so I'm going into cameras and using them to blind people. I've only just started visiting ripper docs cause I'm fairly money constrained and this really hinders experimentation in this game. I spent all my money and now I can paralyze people. That's like almost all the money I've got in the game so far, so I really need to look online and find a money making trick or something cause it kind of is a bit much with the way they do it.

The reason I'm going this route is cause of how bad the aiming is in this, I don't want to play with M&K but when I need to aim from afar I've started to use controller and mouse, a truly evil way to play a video game but it's impossible to hit things otherwise. I don't know how they got camera movement so bad. A lot of this game feels a lot like the original Mass Effect in a whole lot of ways except it completely lacks ME's exceptional world building and dialogue systems. It's got the same difficult exterior but when you push through it's far less rewarding. I think it's a shame that a game like this gets such a spotlight shone on it, cause I think if you reduce the scale and systems a bit and sell to a smaller audience you might have a better game. The subreddit of this game is quite the read, a lot of the same people who were harassing gamespots journalist for being meh on the game are now realising that her criticisms were pretty much on point. Like the fact that you don't need to do crafting in this game (I am doing crafting cause it happens to go with the techie specialty, but it's not a fundamental system and you have to invest points into it for it to be worthwhile), that it isn't the second coming and is in fact a deeply flawed but impressively ambitious game. A real piece of euro jank.

If I weren't on PC I'm not sure I would be still playing this game. I think the multi-tiered city is amazing, I love the fact that walking around feels a viable way of exploring the city, even if there isn't really a whole lot of meaningful discoveries to actually make. The multi-tiered layer cake approach is something I've been looking forward to for a long time. But also there's the major uplift that high end graphics gives it, and which RT gives it. I think if people could see the way it looks in motion it would sell them on the technique, the way it conveys tone. I posted a screenshot of the 'psycho' RT setting during a night scene earlier and it just looks like Bladerunner. I think some of the city's personality could get lost in translation if the settings were turned down too much, the next gen or even high end non RT lighting really needs to be seen. All of which sounds very elitist, and it is tbh, but it actually feels like you're exploring an underbelly of the city when it is lit correct, or vice versa when you're out in the more exposed areas. It's properly labyrinthine, just the act of walking around is enjoyable. Yeah it doesn't run smooth even on PC but neither did Crysis. Sometimes hardware needs a kick up the arse. Although it is severely let down by the repeated assets everywhere, and in some cases repeated asses. I'm really sick of that billboard of the guy with the ass in his face.

Looking at the console versions it just seems like a severely different version of the game, it's a much larger gulf than I can ever remember seeing between PC and console. If people really want to give the game a fair shot then it's not a bad idea to wait. What is here currently is only going to improve, in the case of next gen consoles that improvement will be massive. But it will never be much more than this deeply flawed thing it is I think

This might end up being my goty? Faint praise though because there's not been a lot in 2020 I've loved

I think I noticed an improvement myself. Textures on surfaces seemed to show up more detail or something. It's a gorgeous game in so many ways, while the NPC's are a little boring, the level of care that went into the environments is really something else.

Thought the same, saw some definite improvements but not sure if i was imagining it.

Got the game running very well last night. Zero bugs.

Enjoying the quests, but the city feels lifeless. There's nothing to interact with at all. The game does not have so many things a typical GTA game has. There isnt even a barber ffs.

Mr.Fantastic

Played this for an hour or two , bang average in my opinion.

Could be because of my hype for it but honestly didn't grab me that much at all . Went down the street kid path

froog

I can only assume loads of planned features were cut to push the game out in time for Christmas. Maybe we'll get stuff in a future update. I'm still going to play the hell out of it but right now it seems like a GTA sci fi mod with lots of features taken out.

I think I'm gonna hold off for a small bit in terms of playing any further in it. If I'm to be honest, it's not engaging me in the same way as The Witcher 3 did. It is a good game though beneath the bugs.

I ended up giving up last night when a character I was supposed to follow died. It was pretty amusing though, I could walk over and pick up their corpse. I hopefully tried to follow the corpse I was carrying but it failed. :P

Deus Ex Mankind Divided was an excellent game too, although the story was a bit convoluted, the world/level design was really rich. Would highly recommend it and it’s on sale for close to €5 on the PS Store.

Finished act one last night. I'm hoping act 2 is longer because I've read there's only 2 acts and I'm still seeing story scenes they showed off in trailers.

Had an unfortunate glitch during the cutscene where

Jackie dies where he was still holding his handgun from the combat section when he went to take the chip out of his head in the taxi. So during this emotional death scene I just saw him shove a gold pistol through his head.

The city itself feels very dense but everything else feels soulless. The npcs just stand around/don't react to anything, the cars just drive straight and won't move around you/your car if you block the road.

All the side quests I've done so far have all been "go here kill person x" which is disappointing given the side quests in the Witcher were really good.

I'm still enjoying it though especially the section at the end of Act 1 where

you got to play as Johnny Silverhand. I hope if you upgrade your handgun skill you can end up as flashy as he was in that section.
