WAKE THE FRICK UP SAMURAI, WE GOT A CITY TO BURN

So far it's an amazing game, and my favorite game of the year by far. Breathtaking next gen graphics, fun gunplay, great story, great acting, and runs pretty well for launch day.

As for running well, I have experienced only a single freeze, a single crash, and some low FPS when driving but otherwise is running buttery smooth.

Getting 80-100 FPS on Average at 1440p Max settings + Ray tracing
With some optimizations and patches, I imagine I can hit closer to 120.


Upgraded my PC for this game, and it was worth doing so :)
RTX 3080 + 5600x was a good call.


Edit:
After 100%'ing the game fully I figured I'd come back and say my final thoughts :P

Pros:
- Amazing acting
- Fun gunplay/action
- Fun and interesting story
- Visually stunning
- Style up the wazoo

Cons:
- Bugs, more and more I played the more and more bugs popped up. Nothing game breaking so far, but way too many.
- Performance is fine but not great, with some fan made fixes the game gets a bit better with FPS, the worse being driving where FPS was cut to a third for me.
- How short it is, I beat the game in under 30 hours, 100%'d it in another 10 or so. Very short for being something made AFTER the Witcher series and something that was in the oven for 8 years.
- For how short it is, you'd think there would be lots of side stuff to do, but not really. Outside of side missions and gigs, only other things you can do is eat, drink, sex. A real bummer to have such an open world and not have any bar games, arcade machines, BD/Hologram games, etc to do.

TLDR:
It's a great game, it's my favorite game in the last few years, and it is a blast. But it's way too damn short. Hoping once the bugs are ironed out they focus on some beefy expansions that bump that short play time to something closer to Witcher 3 as I'd love to come back to the game. But once you 100% it, there is legit no reason to play besides to drive around and shoot NPC's... so yeah..
