Bugs aside, how the game actually is? Especially story-wise?

Decent.

My V looks like a nightmare. Biker jacket, some armor, biker helm, shorts, boots and a gas mask.

I've just put whatever that had better armor value xD I've looked like a fitness trainer from 80s xD

Proud PC gaming tradition then.

It's okay. A bit of sluggish gameplay, but it works. I stand by my opinion that melee reminds me of The Elder Scrolls. Shooting is acceptable. Writing is still edgy but okay. Main missions and story heavy side quests feel okay to me.

The city is fairly cool, but feels a little bit lifeless for its scope. I'm playing on console, but I haven't run into any completely empty streets like pre-release footage shows. The AI for nearly everything is either not good or nonexistent. I hated the car at first, but I got used to it.

I'm not fond of level gated items, but the way loot works in this game, I'm not surprised. At level 2, I found a level 20 weapon. There is still the Ubisoft stuff from The Witcher 3 spread all over the map. They are not essential, but I do them because OCD.

Overall, I have had a decent time with the game, but it's not all rainbows and sunshine.

Tyger Claws gangers often have that tattoo (which you can also get for free from Wakako) which causes smart rounds to veer off to god knows where if they get close.

What? Tattoo that's liek, turning bullets around?

I posted my dude before but here you go.

To anyone saying there is no detail in this game here is the texture of my characters jacket up close.

Still pretty much the same. Found a legendary vest though.

I actually had a PS4 and that sounds par for the course for a heavy open world game running on that shitty hardware. Where were the bestbuy and sony refunds for AC Unity, Mad Max, Batman Arkham Knight, Fallout 4 etc? And let's not forget the shitshow that was GTA5 on the PS3/X360...

The game's barely been out for a week. One week. You couldn't even reach the end of VTM Bloodlines until it got patched at a later date.

I really doubt this is about console gamers suddenly raising their standards.

Even Bloodborne was an unplayable 20-25FPS mess on PS4. That's always been the standard for consoletards so I'm not sure either why they would whine about this game. They've constantly defended unplayable crap running at 720p/25FPS on their supposedly 1080p/60FPS consoles, so they really should gobble this game up like the morons they are.

The eye can't see more than 30 FPS according to gamejournos and their flock, after all.

It's a type of cyberware.
Basically an alternate version of the smartgun link (forgot the actual name) thing you can get.
It allows you to use smartguns properly just like the normal implant but also jams enemy targeting or something.

This sequel to Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden looks sick.

OK, so, this game actually do HAS something decent in plot department, besides boring shit with Arassaka, reading teh threads on board bore some fruit.

You could find this shit yourself - but only if you are attentive. This is first time I regretted I heard spoiler about that game.

Spoiler

So, it's seems that sideplot - or maybe REAL main plot - is that rogue AI or how that are called in CP, wild?- they are going to attack humanity or something, but there are some rogue AI that defend humanity and oppose them. Mister Blue Eyes is one of them it seems.

Next DLC on orbit is about curing Vi, and that space casino.

What I can guarantee is if the game ran reasonably well on consoles but was a dumpster fire on PC the backlash going on right now would be minimal outside Steam/PC focused forums.

We'd be hearing the old "PC elitists are just whiners" but the second a game runs poorly on 10 year old consoles, it's blasphemy.

As much as I think the marketing surrounding the game has probably screwed their reputation due to promising a purse but instead producing a pig's ear, I have some sympathy for them surrounding the Xbox/PS4 stuff.

They likely realised a year or so ago they were screwed. The game was never going to run properly on the old consoles without dramatic cuts to all versions, but not releasing on them and announcing that so late would have lead to severe outrage. In hindsight, they should have gone for next gen only but they've got their short term gains so maybe they don't care.

Ok, so apparently this little brain fart's snuck its way into the 1.05 patch:

Removed debug console to prevent functions that could lead to crashes or blocked quests

This really is one of the absolute stupidest things CDPR could do. Ostensibly, it's to protect players from fucking up their own game (and then presumably go shrieking for a refund), but it will double up as removing one of the main avenues for the modding community to provide easy fixes and workarounds for common bugs on PC. Imagine playing a Bethesda game without a debug console...

I haven't had many bugs in my twenty hours of play and I've never even tried the debug console, but knowing it was there meant that, eventually, you'd be able to fall back onto it if you needed to. Removing it is like enabling Ironman mode for bugs.

I've tried to keep a level head when discussing CDPR's Cyberpunk screwups, but there comes a point where you have to wonder what the fuck their cafeteria's lacing those vegan meals with.

P.S. Paging AwesomeButton, Fedora Master:

Removed the memory_pool_budgets.csv file. which was not connected with the final version of the game and had no influence on it (it was a leftover file used during the development to estimate memory usage. It had no effect on how much memory was actually allocated). Perceived performance increase after editing the file may have been related to restarting the game.

Bought the official game guide of Amazon. It's thicker than the one for The Witcher 3. It seems there is a lot of hand placed loot around NC. On the map there are also a few metro stations not present in the game (while other have been converted to fast travel points). Another removed feature, possibly late in development.

I find the layout of the city general quite confusing. There are too many levels one on top of the others. The map is useless. However, there's no denying that the art team did a good job, something I cannot say for other areas of this gmae. It may be explained by the fact that while managers constantly meddled into the game direction, gameplay and scope, the 3D artist simply continued to do their humble job unmolested.

Looting with Cyberpsychosis quickhack is fun.

Wait. What is the key to honk the horns in cars?

 

[orcinator]

Any tips on fist fights? I am trying to fight the twins but I am getting 2 shotted by them, I am Lv18 but my Body is at 3, all my points I put into INT and only 1 at Tech.

I have the Legendary armor cybernetics that give +200 armor, thinking of getting the unique version as well since I have been searching for another legendary version but not being able to find one.

Edit:
Will the Gorilla arms help? right now I have the free legendary Monowires.

Press M2 to block.
Congratulations now you can beat every one of those fights with 0 stat investment.
