Anyone playing it? Does the game NOT allow multiple characters? I was playing as a corpo, then made a nomad and my corpo saved game files seem to be gone?
Just made a new Nomad after playing Corp. Seems all my manual saves are still there, in addition to my new Nomad save.
This is PC btw.
Where are they? I’m playing through GOG and I dont’ see them. Could that be the issue? Or could the issue be I’m not saving to the cloud, but on my actual PC?
Go to main menu, then load game
how is the game, i’m not buying it yet cause i kind of hate sci-fi and steampunk and this i guess is combo of both? though i do like great game even in genres i don’t normally enjoy, is it good enough to buy
If you don’t like the aesthetic/genre, don’t get it. The immersion is half the reason to play it.

I did that. Its not showing the other character.
How do you not know that cyberpunk came first?
That’s strange. I have a bunch of saves for multiple different characters.
He probably was using the auto saves and over rode them with a new character.

How is this game CYberpunk?
U guys like it?
I rate it a 9.5 out of 10. Throughout the entire game I only had one crash, and the occasional minor visual glitches. Oh, never open a door at the same time as an NPC, this breaks the door. Thankfully there are usually multiple entrances to a building. Most of the visual glitches, though, were not immersion breaking and even added to the immersion. (My favorite was Johnny putting his cigarette between his eyes, and smoking his sunglasses.) Which would match up for a spoiler being slightly broken after getting spoiler in the spoiler.
I was really saddened by the ending, as my character and spoiler seemed to grow pretty connected, but I did get a satisfying ending for my experimental character. Need to run through and do an everything run of the game now.
From a high-end PC perspective and around 34 hours in so far:
Graphics: 10
The game is simply beautiful as a PC player with all the settings including Ray Tracing turned on. The in-game render looks way better than any of the pre-rendered videos they play, and it’s incredibly cinematic when you are on main story parts. Ray traced reflections…are simply amazing. I’ve spent hours driving around the city just looking at stuff. Trying to find places to take screenshots. Just being there. That said, even if you are not on a top-end PC, it’s still beautiful. Look at gameplay footage I posted earlier on the toaster minimum spec…still looks great. My wife plays at 1080p/high on a 5700XT and framerate is high, and visually it is still stunning without ray tracing.
Immersion/Style: 7
I love the cyberpunk genre. Loved blade runner, Akira, all those animes and stuff from that era. Of course I’m an 80s kid, so go figure. The world feels very immersive, with a huge difference between day and night that really brings it alive. It loses some points for a lot of NPCs being too often-repeated, and obviously they’re just generated to make the world feel alive but often falling in that mark since they aren’t actually interactive. Between that and doors that obviously don’t lead to anywhere saying “locked”, there just seems like a bit more interactivity could have been made.
Story: 6
The story is good, but it feels like it’s meant to be played as a Corpo only, with little attention being paid to the other 2 backgrounds in the story. I am playing as a Nomad as a second playthrough (restarted because I goofed my stats) and it feels a lot less connected than when I was Corp. It feels the main story is solid, but there aren’t many times when your background matters. The best parts of the story are actually in the shards, the written parts…which makes sense since it’s a tabletop game this is based off of. There’s also an illusion of choice in dialogue and your actions you’ve taken, which isn’t too uncommon I suppose. There’s also very limited romance options, and only one for each orientation/identity of your V. Additionally, for some strange reason there are only 2 “Joy Toy” NPCs that your PC can interact with…out of the entire Night City with overt sexuality plastered everywhere. A minor complaint, but definitely seems a bit weird. The game aims to be inclusive, which is cool, but feels like it falls a bit short of delivery on that respect.
Gameplay/Systems: 6
Here’s where it falls apart a bit. The actual gameplay feels good, but the AI for enemies and vehicles is just…absent. I haven’t felt legitimate danger at all even on “hard” because the enemies will often just stand there in front of you waiting for you to kill them. The cars will just stop in the middle of the road, and do nothing if you stop them. The game has some aspects and rewards for stealth, but from an efficiency standpoint, going in guns (or blades, or clubs) blazing is just faster, easier, and more effective in every scenario. Crafting is fun, and the gear system is fun. But in 2020 (not to mention 2077) it baffles me that you can’t transmog gear sets. Even Assassin’s Creed Odyssey allows you to do this. Instead you’re often stuck between choosing to have armor or no hat, because they look silly. And let’s not get started on hairstyle/appearance customization after creation. Even in Valhalla, you can get a haircut in the actual game from a barber. That said, the game is still fun and has hooked me for several hours, just chasing that next legendary crafting upgrade and to clear my map.
Technical: 6
Okay, this is where it gets a bit messy. On PC, I have not crashed at all in 34 hours. I have had some broken quest bugs that required a reload, and I have had numerous visual bugs. Most of the time it’s just comical, but when it happens during a story moment, it can break immersion a bit. There appears to also be some kind of memory leak, because periodically the game will slow down for no apparent reason, with low CPU and GPU usage. Saving and reloading in the exact same spot fixes it.
Overall: 7
The game leverages a LOT of visuals, which being so lacking on consoles, I can definitely understand why people who play on them would be really upset. If they fixed the bugs, maybe improved some of the storylines with some free DLCs later, the game could be an 8 or more easily. But as it stands, 7 on a high-end PC. I’m looking forward to finishing the campaign, and for whatever DLCs come out afterwards.

Its buggy but I love the storyline. Man I cried when Jackie died and then the funeral thing you do for him was beautiful. Also some of the choices you can make and storylines are very interesting, dark or even humorous.
spoilers, my man
