I gave it a chance, but just couldn't get into it. The gameplay, particularly the combat, just didn't click with me. And I'm the kind of person who doesn't care how good the story, characters, setting, art style, etc., are, if I can't enjoy the gameplay, I can't enjoy the game. And I'm not going to slog through it because "It gets really good 10-20 hours in." It's the same problem I had with Mass Effect. A friend kept telling me how it was a GOAT-tier game. I finally gave it a chance, and I just couldn't enjoy the combat, which I felt was very clunky. I ditched the game after a couple of hours. I also didn't like Starfield's combat and opaque inventory system, or Far Cry 2 constantly forcing you to pick up new guns and search for malaria medication. Those are just examples I could think of off the top of my head. If a game's mechanics don't grab me in short order, I'm not going to bother sinking tens of hours into it.

Maybe the Remastered version will sort your combat wants and needs. 

Lmao. A remaster is releasing in a month, for free. My save will probably break but screw it, I'll just load a hearts of Stone pre build or something.

Ah fuck. There's an update and it automatically downloaded the DLC packs when I paused it so it wouldn't break my save so it went and broke my save. :( I can't use the disc either cause I'm on the Next Gen updated PS5 Version digitally. Lol, that's a blow, I was 30 hours in. I thought I'd have a month left to get my progress to Hearts of Stone and then just load a pre build if this happened. This is exactly why I don't want an all digital future, there are games I can settle to loose the 1.0 version of but there are games where I need that 1.0 version... not that it matters anymore cause you can't actually stop auto updates on PS5 cause the setting doesn't work, the only solution is to pause them and they eventually just restart. 

So I can't play the game now for one month. Lmao, incase the remaster update wrecks it lmao. I'll just do Hearts of Stone and blood and wine pre built so, work on the clean up trophies for the platinum and then start from scratch in the remaster. Oh this hurts cause it was one of the few things in life keeping my sould warmed.

Nvm about my above post. The update, cheekily called 04.040.200 only breaks your save while it is downloading cause it takes away the licence for the DLC.
