Blu-ray drives simply never became commonplace on PC, I guess. Digital was chosen instead. Now when you look at games taking upwards of 100GBs and more there's no way to fit them on DVDs in any reasonable fashion. Also, industry forgot about compression.

I never actually installed the Witcher 3 from the discs, but it does come on 4 DVDs so I assumed it had the whole game on the discs DRM free. Have to check if it actually installs the game or download something.

Blame it on Steam. And it's a shame too, because Blu-ray drives are not that expensive and I would prefer my games in physical form. Also all those memes about DLC's being on the disc already are dead now.

My team has the sexiest and deadliest waifus you can recruit.
how a damper on a melee weapon works? :)

"A damper on guns, as well as some melee weapons" != "A damper on guns, as well as on some melee weapons"

The dedicated hardware is kind of the crux of the matter though, isn't it? It's not very useful (for games) if it can't hold a consistent framerate. (I looked at some tests of the 1080 Ti with software raytracing for FX only and I don't think I'd want to actually play a game with it enabled on it -- frame rate seems to average around 25 with a ton of variability.)

Nobody asks for cranking up the settings up to all ultra, med-to-high depending on whether you're playing Metro Exodus or not gives an alright result. Besides, there always was a question about how to spend all those GPU powers on 1080p and is it necessary to buy a GTX 1080. The answer is raytracing.
Personally, I'm going to buy a 2080ti in order to experience android prostitutes in their full graphics quality.

Go on, rate me dumb, you jealous fucks! :D

SLI or bust
SLI for the bust.

Some thai magazine info
- Players will be able to use public vehicles but they won't be able to hack them.

- Cyberpunk 2077 won't pull so many things from our world, go into realism (person doing interview gave taking care of the horse in Red Dead Redemption 2 as an example) because real life can be often pretty boring. Then Marcin talked more about fun in Cyberpunk 2077.

- There'll be lots of mini games and hacking but Cyberpunk 2077 won't feature game as deep and serious as Gwent

- When asked about appearance of another celebrity (other than Keanu Reeves) Marcin said "I don't know" and laughed

- Cyberspace is Marcin's favourite place in Cyberpunk 2077 so he won't reveal if we can explore it or could V learn to enter Cyberspace on they own

- How choices affect story: Same old story, nothing interesting.

- Interviewer asked about side mission design similar to Assassin's Creed Oddysey (where you have to do side activities to progress futher into main story). Mr Iwiński said players will be able to finish game without doing any side quests or activities but they'll miss full flavour of the game.

- Malee combat: Mantis Blades, samurai katanas & knives, Gorilla Arms which can be used to open doors and (with later upgrades) used to fight.

- There's team working on multiplayer but it's not that important for them because Cyberpunk 2077 is first and foremost story driven singeplayer game.

- No, there'll be no playable 3rd person perspective outside driving and people with motion sickness will be able to adjust settings to feel better while playing the game.

- Marcin couldn't speak about required specs and when will CDPR start selling those sweet jackets

Nice to see CDPR still has the basic idea of how to design a video game, unlike Rockstar whose head has been so deep in its own ass to spend millions of dollars making horse shit(literally).

I heard the shrinking balls alone was worth 1 point of review score on Metacrtic. So money well spent!

They might not be expensive, but they are slower than a good internet connection.

It's probably just an excuse for all the inevitable nonsense like terrible level systems and magical, skill-boosting leather jackets.

Nice GPU is only nice paired with good screen so I'll just upgrade my monitor, the current one isn't even 1080P and doesn't have HDMI port for RTX.
