CD Projekt's Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.0 + Phantom Liberty Expansion Thread

[mondblut]

8 million copies sold in 24 hours. Second best after GTA V I think.

A million concurrent players on Steam. An absolute historic record for SP games. Second best is Fallout 4 with 470 000.

Come on, start posting what reeeera and the twatter wokerati think about it already. That's the primary reason we're all in this thread (after le funny bug images).

I turned up all shadow options to max just to take this screenshot

Whoever claims this game has "best graphics evar" is a certified retard.

40gbs of voice packs for all languages - you install only one.

Where did you hide dem shadwoz nigga?

 

[DalekFlay]

So basically play the game like Watch Dogs?

Never played that, but maybe? Thinking back to the "play it your way!" ads, I do seem to recall hacking being a big part of the stealth presentation. Seems like hacking vending machines and shit to pull guys away from the other guards and then choking them out from behind are what stealth was designed around. I just want to shoot dudes with a silenced weapon from the shadows though, and spec'd into agility and suppressed weapons, and it sucks a bag of dicks.

Also none of this addresses main missions putting you into all out combat gauntlets.

Unlike other games, where you chose the language you with to download, the offline install files come with all languages.

Talk about treating offline installers as an afterthought. This is the nu-gog.

And Pondsmith is ok with what they did with his system.

Btw, it's interesting about him.
I have no idea about him and his trivia.
How does he feel now? He is Negro that somehow ran from the block?
I think you need something in your head to actually make tabletop game, moreso with such setting.
How is he now? What does he feel, or more precisely he tell he feel about his work being materialized into a game?
Does he feel lucky now?
Any clues?

 

[Seethe]

Characters start z-fighting whenever I grapple them.

 

[Lacrymas]

Seeing as how any gameplay other than guns blazing is basically not viable, I predict not ever playing it unless I pirate it or get it for free somehow. I hate shooters that aren't Half-life 1 (for some reason the only one I've ever actually liked), so yeah. Too bad, I was expecting at least a bad Deus Ex clone.

 

[Turjan]

What surprises me is that my game has been relatively bug-free so far.
It also seems to be dildo-free. No idea whether bug or feature.

Transphobic AS FUCK.

They were right all along.

It makes sense,the people that made witcher 3 and the people they hired after they fired the first team.

Played a bit more through the Corpo and Nomad intros to get a feel for the game. Performance is steady on my aforementioned configuration, but the gameplay... eh. We all expected the combat to be shit from the leaks, but the effect is compounded by all around bad GUI choices. The interface is too cluttered, the controls scheme's a little peculiar and, as great as the game looks, there's a lot on screen that makes it hard to get your bearings. Style over substance might make a nice, edgy slogan for your game, but you really don't wanna live by it when you're designing gameplay. I also can't shake the feeling that V waddles around like a cow on rollerskates, there's a certain momentum to movement that's throwing me off, though that might just be that I'm not used to it yet, gotta be fair.

Nonetheless, this throws me back to Deus Ex 4 and one of the reasons I love that game so much. Poor UX design is one of my persistent bugbears, and I find myself constantly annoyed at most games, from Fallout 4 to ToEE, over poor buttons placement or rotten feedback structuring, anything that disrupts flow, but not with DX4. My only grievances there were the inventory click handling and the low walkmesh height tolerance, the rest was silky smooth and precise, whereas Cyberpunk 2077... isn't.

And for the love of God, CDPR, let us rebind F! And don't do a Bethesda job of it, rebind it fully so it applies to environmental interactions as well as dialogue! We've gone from the days when videogames had inbuilt key accelerators to not being able to rebind the most basic controls, talk about decline.

Couple other things I noticed...please stop posting your cyberpeens as fps matters exactly zero and theres enough of them in the game. Soft lock it to 30 and let it go man. Has no effect whatsoever in any way and it works better at 30 with no input lag. Particularly the one muppet who has a 2070 on a 1680 screen, really man what's your problem.

No problem, precisely the opposite, the screen's still fine so I keep using it. It's not a novel notion, you preening knob.

In Nvidia Control Panel:
Image Sharpening: "Sharpen 0.50, ignore film grain 0.20"
Antialiasing - Mode: "Off"

What's the Film Grain setting for? Threshold so you don't sharpen aliasing artifacts? I applied your suggestion but went with DeepOcean's recommended setting for 0.30 Film Grain, and I do feel like it's improved the picture, cut some of the DLSS fog, but I didn't take screenshots for side-by-side comparison.

there seriously is no other way but to shoot your way through the game. the stealth is completly terrible because the AI either doesn't see you at all or they see you through walls, the cameras that make no sense and a level design that is simply not made for a fun stealth playthrough.
to compare it even to new deus ex is insulting to that game. hacking sucks, i can't believe the hacking in watch dogs is actually better than here. i just finished the intro and the maelstrom hideout mission was basically like a bad call of duty level. imagine a call of duty level but if cod had retarded borderlands gameplay. the mission where you steal the biochip was a linear walking simulation with long badly animated cutscenes and a shooting out of a car section that would have been embarassing 20 years ago. the game wants to do so many things but doesn't do a single one well. night city looks amazing, it might simply be the coolest city every created in a videogame but it's not fun to move around in because the driving sucks. it wants to be a cool shooter but the AI, level design and the rpg shooting make the shooting parts suck. it wants to be an rpg but the actual rpg mechanics are complete shit. it's not fun to loot anything. it's not fun to read any of the ingame lore chips. it's an amazing looking city wasted on a terrible playing game. honestly the game would have been better if they completly dropped the rpg aspect, polished up the AI, shooting and driving and made it some sort of action adventure shooter in first person. like a polish gta with first person action parts and a branching narrative.

Getting banned from trannyera is a rite of passage

 

[Catacombs]

What's the Film Grain setting for?

Pure aesthetics and to feel like you're in a movie. That was one of the first things I turned off.

 

[Roguey]

Investment return is also much higher on the latter - player tracking tools have discovered that most people don't even finish, let alone replay games. Investing in C&C (especially Witcher 2 like branching in the middle chapter) simply doesn't pay off.

flawed logic which has been disproved by josh

Roguey

Replayability is a side-effect of non-linear quest design and supporting role-playing in general, not a goal in itself.

The more meaningful choices you have, the stronger the role playing.

 

[Semiurge]

first impressions is, you gonna need a current CPU to play this game. I got a 4790k, 8GB of RAM, 1080Ti, running off a SSD on medium settings and still got a lot of skips/stutters. Granted I was trying to stream the game, performance may be a bit better without that and if you have more RAM, but game was nearly unplayable during high action sequences. Unkillable NPCs are cancer because unlike Skyrim they don't even react if you toss grenades at them and if you try to run them over your car will slow down automatically until outright forcing you to leave the vehicle. Lot of bugs in the first few hours too, but the majority did seem to be visual in nature except for a certain boxing subquest at the very beginning of the game, I initiated the fight and suddenly the opponent kinda fell over and I don't think I completed the quest properly but whatever. Awful lot of dialogue in the beginning too and they don't really let you 'off the leash' until about an hour and a half into the game. Oh and people were right about the character creator, you don't really get to be white at all, there's only one shade of white and it looks more Asian than white. I'm a mulatto boy, I like to make my charas like a very light tan to reflect that but there's not an option for that.

still, it's got potential. Don't know if it's got potential to be a good RPG, but it's got potential to be a fun game. The gunplay is neat and if you're using melee it's easy to cut off limbs/heads and stuff which is nice. Driving physics are horrible though but I also can't drive very well on a keyboard so that's on me I think.

Let's assume for a moment you could make a lilywhite caucasian. Then more than 50% of screenshots circling the net would feature main characters of that nature.

Conclusion according to progressives: Game lacks "representation", is racist for giving people the option to make lilywhite caucasians.

Also, have to cap my FPS at 40fps on medium settings sans film grain, chromatic aberration, and depth of field and all the ray tracing shit, with a 1060 GTX 6gb, Ryzen 7 Eight-core 3.70 GHz, and 32gb DDR4. Is there a particular setting that's dragging my performance down that much, or is it just time for a new video card?

Have the same setup. Seems high 30ish FPS is the highest you will get with a 1060. The benchmarks at Tomshardware also showed this.
I am kind of mad, as they promoted the GTX 1060 6GB to be the recommended card for 1080p medium settings. Seems like they think the console experience of 30 fps is the way the game is meant to be played.

The official requirements are ridiculous, there's hardly any difference between them.

Minimum:

Intel Core i5-3570K or AMD FX-8310
Memory: 8 GB RAM
GTX 780 or Radeon RX 470

Recommended:

Intel Core i7-4790 or AMD Ryzen 3 3200G
12 GB RAM
GTX 1060 6GB, GTX 1660 Super or Radeon RX 590

Why isn't an RTX card among the recommended? Nvidia drivers can retrofit RTX on pascal cards, but it's only meant to be a "demo". Pascal based cards can't run any level of RT with playable framerates.
