Cyberpunk 2077

I tried it, had some fun, but I’ll wait for a patch or two to really invest in the game.

The trailers showed the beginning like… 4 quests.

Because CDPR got a huge amount of flak for how lengthy TW3 was campaign-wise, they limited the length of Cyberpunk 2077 hugely in comparison. Compared to TW3, Cyberpunk 2077 is maybe… 1/5th as long, i’d personally say. The campaign for Cyberpunk was over fast, but it was very engaging to me.

Also: “No character interaction at all”? Can you explain that, because I don’t think you know what that means. The story is on rails, that is for sure, and it has to be–it’s telling a definitive story. But you still have certain options here and there to make, and it does matter in the end what you do and how you do it, to certain degrees.

I’m assuming you’re being sarcastic with the wink lol, but a lot of people don’t know that Cyberpunk is a tabletop RPG from the 80s lol

Got 59 hours into it so far.

Made myself a little wallpaper with my character.

Sounds like the game has decent immersion, but not enough width for choices or replayability?

I might check it out two years from now. Kind of like NMSky.

They had to relea$e on console to pay people, especially their marketing. Lessons learned. Hey, people were overpaying yellow page ads for years.

Biggest issues are:

AI sucks. In some places it’s not even there.
Illusion of choice. This isn’t specifically unique to this game, as it’s common in pretty much every other game like it. There’s some smoke and mirrors they could do to improve it so it feels like it matters, though.
Some of the organization of side quests seems a bit wonky. About half of them I feel should have been placed into the main story as mandatory components, in specific orders, so it felt more fluid and sensible.
Bugs a plenty.

Anyone playing this game, what is your rig specs and your temps on CPU and GPU while playing?

Ahhh. Yuck. Thanks for the response. So a clunky mass effect?

Haven’t played Mass Effect.

The endings do depend on what choices you make, but the game isn’t very clear in indicating any of this until you’re already there.

Not that I wouldn’t pay full boat for say, an underdeveloped Blizzard game, but Ill wait until ProjektCD drops it to $29.99 or has possible persistent world elements. Thanks again.

I’ve got 60 hours into it on PC. Despite it’s flaws, it’s been an incredible experience. I don’t regret paying full price. I wish there was more, and I believe fixes might come, but I’m not disatisfied.

Can’t say I’d feel the same way playing on a console right now, though.

Can you provide your specs and what your temps are running?

Sure, here you go:

8700k 5ghz core, 4.7ghz cache Delidded
Cryorig H7 Quad Lumi
32GB DDR4 3200 CL16
Gigabyte Z370 Aorus Gaming 5
1tb Intel 660P NVME SSD (OS, game install location)
ASUS RTX 3080 TUF OC

1440p
RTX Ultra preset
-No film grain
-No Chromatic Aberration
-DLSS Quality

High CPU usage. Average is around 75%, GPU usage is mostly maxed out at 95%+ (some lows during loading/autosave)

Relatively high RAM usage. 40% load on 32gb, ~13GB used. But that’s also with a chrome tab open too.

CPU average around 68C. Motherboard VRM a bit toasty at 68C too, but well within limits.

GPU around 63c, also well within limits.

I know exactly what I am saying. It force feeds you a couple choices and leads to different, pre-programmed outcomes, but very limited. This is why one can save themselves $60.00 and just watch the youtube play-throughs.
It’s very primitive interactions and the story is so base and low, if it was a movie it would be a dime-a-dozen, Netflix throwaway with terrible acting. Even Keanu can’t save it.

You could say the same thing about virtually every game. But doing is different than watching.

Half the fun in this game is wandering around, doing side missions, collecting loot, crafting gear, and playing with different combat builds.

Thank you, I have the same CPU as you but my GPU is a 2080TI, do you think it will run OK? I heard this game is really demanding on hardware :stuck_out_tongue:

You should be good for 60fps if you use just RT Reflections. Or possibly use DLSS Balanced/Performance and switch on RTX lighting. RTX Shadows aren’t really worth it, but I just left it on.

Easily over 60fps if you are only playing 1080p.

No I don’t get your point, none of those examples makes a point even relevant to spreading 30 dollars out over two years rofl. Also “does it matter if you play a game in jan or dec” your sense of time seems to be a little off friend. We are talking TWO years not one. Do we need to count bats with the Count? The only point you make that does make sense is bug fixes and DLC.

Quite frankly, for me, waiting 2 years to save less than an hour of my day is a ridiculous prospect. Especially when it brings an inordinate amount of entertainment and the game is running really well on my PC (I’m aware I am lucky in that).

The first one? (it was mediocre) or the whole series?

Any of them. They are part of the huge chunk of games that flew under my radar when I was wasting time on WoW.
