Yasssss, this is the best one in the trilogy, the OG, the CLASSIC. The one that still slaps and is just as good as it was on the release, maybe even better, actually definitely better. Oh yes it's all true right here, lesss go!
Shines with one if not the best soundtracks out there, better cyberpunk themed soundtrack than that cyberpunk game had. Nice story, great characters, cool missions, but above all phenomenal fictional world to explore and dive in to.
You can't really replicate fresh original experience, that's impossible, but time made this game better. Or even better in fact games that came out after this game was released, made this game better. The both sequels and all these other modern games.
Oh yeah sure, for impatient, twitchy people out there the controls and the gameplay is oh so incredibly hard to adjust to, so hard to calm yourself to the fact that it is not about you, not about what you want from the game, but about what the game can offer to you once you dive in to it with an open mind.
If it's all about the gameplay and controls first, then why aren't you playing Mass Effect Andromeda? Or why people aren't playing just Tetris and Tetris only? Tetris has the best gameplay loop ever created. Why are you playing Witcher 3 and not Tetris, huh?
Inventory management is horrible, loot is boring. I think all pistols look and sound same just different stats and skins on them. Game has many quality of life issues and annoying things. Animation issues, game balance issues. "Mage" can yolo on Legendary difficulty because enemies are staggered in the air, like... all the time, fun but not rewarding. Mako, I never had severe issues with Mako, my boy Mako slaps! When people complain about Mako, I know it is the driver and not the Mako that is the issue. Could Mako be better, for sure, a lot of the things could have been better implemented and executed in this game. However I managed to adjust and took out of the game as much as possible and loved it on the release with the XBOX and later on with the PC. Mods are really nice too.
LEGENDARY EDITION. That edition offers all three games in one neat package and that is great. However, all games have been altered artistically for the worse. LE introduces new bugs with old ones. You need to heavily modify it for the better, and I'm not exactly sure to what extend that helps, I think OG's are better way to experience the trilogy, on PC with mods.
Best way to experience the OG is still the XBOX version as it has the best possible visual execution. You need to mod PC version as it is missing lighting implementation of the XBOX version. MERLIN mod will fix some of the issues, but I don't know if all of the issues. Then again you can mod some of the bugs that XBOX version will always have, and add higher resolution textures in addition to upscaled videos. XBOX verison or PC will do. PC is very nice with 60fps and higher resolution and with additional mods though, as mentioned above.
