what you mean the game is good again, some of the stuff I was hearing like pre rendered video sequences that ended up being jarring and rough controls made me cancel my pre order

I don't know what you mean by jarring pre-rendered sequences, but there are some pre-rendered short cinematics here and there. he controls work fine too and just the little quirk with the cover gets annoying, but it kind of makes sense after you realize why cover isn't a toggle but a press and hold mechanic. I know that there used to be a selection wheel or something for items, but now you jsut have 1-0 and you can assign them to any item in the inventory. Also F1-4 handle the few activated augmentations. Other than that everythign else is standard first person controls.

hmm I read a preview a while ago that said the pre rendered cut scenes felt out of place and broke the flow of gameplay a bit, it also tels me that there probably isn't a lot of choice in how the story plays out if they pre rendered key moments with fixed outcomes but that might just be me and they actually di tones of them...

Glade to hear the controls actually work well in practic, maybe the preview I read was played on the console version, I guess I should think about re preordering it some time.

That is true, the cutscenes only seem to come on during main quests (obviously). There was actualyl a stretch of like 4 hours where I didn't see a single one because I was too busy doing other stuff in Detroit.

As for controls maybe you shoudl try this out. It can't even be called piracy, and the topic is completely open and monitored on the game's forums. It is actually a really great demo for the PC version, although still unfinished (some of the bugs are kind of weird too).
