And you are unlikely to at this point. As of version 1.2 almost all of the bugs/glitches were resolved. Enjoy!CyberPunk at 4K. Picked it up cheaper and am blown away. Haven't really seen any of the artifacting, crashes and errors reported so I guess the patches over the year have done the trick.

Don't use this language here!How the fuck is this mostly positive on steam. Some reviewers don't even mention any problems.
Don't use this language here!
the reviews have changed in the last 48 hours. the situation was completely different at launch. No updates have been made to the game. The performance situation is getting worse. On top of the actual game being horribly optimized, the servers are getting crowded. I had 2 invaders trying to kill me that got disconnected mid-fight before I had a chance to kill them.
Same situation with coop. Me and my friends are constantly getting disconnected. There is lag from game, there is lag from server....it's just lag.
By right now, everyone has understood that this is the easiest Souls game ever made, and many are jumping in for the first time. Some (based on steam reviews) are even playing in Offline mode: they don't know how the invasion system works, or they are following with the latest posts from websites that recommend you to turn off Anti Cheat.
Long story short...yeah, the reviews have changed. The game is the same, the difference are the type of people playing.
I have invaded people that did not know how to dodge. These people are first comers to the souls genre.

121hrs 6 char 1 50 working on others for fun ...
strong point : mounts and pets are shared and roster reward too... great thing for a f2p mmoarpg
did some world bosses for fun on the last character
oh well ... furry eared sorceress (explosive ... i need to check Bard later but it will be on another server, because, sure i am not buying extra char slots and i am not tied to any servers )

a beard'serker, fun but not as much as Scrapper and Sorceress

and a Shadowhunter, can't stand the whinny wimpy Delain (demi demon) that Armen is ... (yeah ... shocker ... ) so i made my own Delain character thanks to the assassins being it too
kind of a glass cannon but so good ...
View attachment 238332
aside that : a gunslinger and an Artillerist are waiting once i am done with those 3 (4 if counting the Scrapper 50)
yeah ... i like that game touched a bit of the post 50 eternal grind (aka "past soft cap", TM Korean mmo trade style "a la" BDO) with the Scrapper still did not finish the main story tho, well i might reach my meager 593.9hrs in FFXIV which was the second mmo i played the most after World Of Warcraft (till Legion)
also, since a week now, zero issues, no more queue on central EU, and the Crystalline Aura bug that been reported recently (although it's an old news for me since it happened twice, and each time resolved in a matter of minutes, to me, almost a week and a half ago ... ) did not re happen again.

well Mokoko server 0 queue as i mentioned but 1 week and a half ago yeah ... i had around 8 to 4k queue (although most of the time i only waited 10 min, which did not matter since i would be doing something else most of the time ) it's a little weird that Zinner still has issues like that ... the opening of the "west" side, kinda debloated central, but maybe not all servers.I'm also maining a Sorc but I had to switch to EU West like 1+ week ago since my EU central server is still a mess, yes even right now at the time of writing this post it has 4k+ que and it gets worse at night 'Zinnervale'.
So I just started from scratch on West cause I did not wait since 2014 to wait in effin ques now especially nowadays when I have less time to play. 'have some personal crap to deal with and I'm not in the mood to play much'
I lost some money in the process but whatever, I rather switched than stare at the menu screen for hours every day and also the matchmaking issues and whatnot on central is not fun.
At least they did gave me back part of my founder pack + there are some okay login rewards as a compensation.

I'm now playing with Deus Ex:Revision which is free on GOG. People are split on this mod and I'm not sure how much of the gameplay it changes, if any. I hope it doesn't change the ability recharge health and augs like GMDX does. That was a bad move.
Looks damned good though, but changing the GUI in-game isn't so easy-weapons, health bars etc.

Welp, today is the day that I realized all hunting rifles in FO4 are left-handed.
I guess I never paid attention to the animation for cycling. But sure enough, that bolt handle faces left. The animation even looks awkward as hell, like actually trying to shoot a left-handed bolt-action right-handed. The whole gun kind of gets tilted up and back and you see the freaky wrist movement it takes to grab the bolt and operate it with the left hand. From a right handed stance you are forced to hold it from the stock and the trigger area while you pull back on the bolt - you can't exactly reach over the gun with your right hand to do it. Good luck keeping on target between rounds. I guess it looks cool in a "Wow, you gotta be tough to do it that way!" sort of way.
Another fun question... which way does the hot, spent cartridge now eject? Towards you? With the chamber pointed UP, towards you? Right. You're dealing with that in an actual firefight where you are using a bolt action? There are times in the game where I see the cartridge fly up and back at my character's head. Another thing to dodge while being shot at by fiends and dogged by monsters.
I guess maybe they wanted more of the bolt prominent in the animation. You wouldn't see it as much if it was in the correct position. But as someone who's actually shot a couple of those things, it would be an awful proposition. I can't see how you could keep the rifle steady while you operate the bolt with the left hand. Usually, the right hand is right there where the bolt is. Sometimes you can just bring your open hand up directly from the trigger and flip the bolt up and back in a quick, fluid motion. Letting go of the trigger makes the shape to bring up and move the bolt immediately. It's really a brilliant innovation when it comes to cycling fairly heavy, high-powered rounds while having a system that can take the pressure while giving you good stability and accuracy at range. The way everything is positioned to move makes it a very natural motion with very little transitioning from firing grip. Very little distance or complexity to it in one that's working correctly - and your left hand on the grip keeps the gun stable and level at your shoulder while you work the bolt, so you can stay where your target is, get that next shot off quicker. That's how they're meant to work. Try to work the goddamned bolt on a left-handed rifle while moving around and trying to hold onto the gun. You're gonna look pretty dumb fumbling with that, if you don't just drop it.
It's just so wrong and I don't understand. What is with this world full of exclusively left-handed hunting rifles?

It really is the derpiest thing man. I don't know if people can appreciate how asininely stupid that is without having fired one. I've seen it done, just as a "Yeah, I can do it." type of thing. You don't get too many left handed shooters here but I was on the range with one a couple of booths down when one of his buddies wanted to shoot his rifle. He did it, but he was very slow and his face said a lot lol. Like, he's doing a round per minute standing still with no distractions.Todd Logic (tm)
