Ubisoft doesn't believe in that mantra

porkChop3007d ago

Ubisoft is the one who should listen the most. Not only are all their games open world, they all follow the same tired formula and structure that started with Assassin's Creed. Each series has slight deviations, but they all essentially play very similar overall.

Open world games are in serious need of innovation, and drastic changes to design and structure. The worlds also need to be more interactive, and feel less static.

Metro: 2033 was one of the most atmospheric games I have ever played and it was also extremely linear.

I'm hoping the update fixes their poor FSR 3 implementation, and add FSR 4. FSR 2 looks better than FSR 3 in CP2077 by a wide margin. On my 7900XT I just use XESS if I want to add RT at custom 3K resolutions. Already beat the main game, but half way through Phantom Liberty expansion. I would like to get back to it later on this month.

I have more hours in this game than any other. I would happily put more into it.
