    It's a cheap, escape/holiday. I'll play 12+hours a day as well. Really immerse myself in it. Only way to really play an rpg properly imho. I've got close to 1000 hours on Witcher 3 if that gives you an idea of my commitment lol.

    this looks almost exactly the same as the original, maybe minus the heinous stuttering and unplayable framerate...not just saying this as a gamer who turned his back on the greedy ass-clowns that run microsoft. even if i was still an xbox guy, this would probably not be something i'd be interested in.

    really seems like this is what the first game could have/should have been, even on last-gen systems.

    It does look very much like the original, no doubt with various additions... Just got to hope those additions make it better (enough).
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    The Xbone version was much improved. Really good game.

    Looks great as well. Can't wait to play this on the X. 60 fps is gorgeous

    I've got 45 hours into this already.
    Ignore the critics, it's fantastic if you have the time to play it properly.
    Easiest way to describe it is Left 4 Dead meets Day Z with base building.
    It's the best end of the world survival game I've played. Great sandbox so there are quests but it's the atmosphere/experience that does it for me. Looks beautiful and plays great on the X with those 60fps even with the bugs which are annoying but not game breaking.
    Higher budget and an extra polish and it would have been THE game for me.
    Soundtrack is very electronic and has an 80's vibe. Love it.

    Some advice to new players. If you wish to pause the game, then switch it to offline or you will regret it. Also plague hearts are tougher than they look, beware.

    Yep. It's not for everyone, especially if you need to be lead around by quests.
    I really hope they give it another polish.

    That seems like a far more considered review!
