Well, look at this from this perspective - they will need to fix the game if they want to regain some of their consumer friendly cred back. At least now that it is out they can't remake it from the ground up again, and since they earned a lot they have the cash to work on it for the next two years.

Every single penny of that we going into the f****** multiplayer mode and you know it

I assume they want some of that GTA Online cash but if their MP version is as well made as the SP one... Oh boy.

The Rare/Uncommon/LEGENDARY shit is just so... video-gamey. It should be "Civilian", "Police Spec" and "Mil Spec" like it might be in real life.

It is basically industry standard at this point. All shooter looters do this.

No doubt about that. But considering systems it should be fun borderland/destiny like game with friends. I can see online easily being bigger than single player down the line. Assuming it will even work lol.

You mean Borderlands does it. There are no other relevant shlooters.

Pretty much, if they try to release the multi-game before fixing the this game they might as well kiss their entire reputation goodbye.

Any looter shooter does it and any almost arpg at this point.

Just now i looked into subreddit of cyberpunk, and damn, they are bitching how every easter egg feels cheap or bad. There was even a dude saying how Glados easter egg is shit - i don't know what are they on, but for me, it was a really cool surprise. They are either defending something to oblivion (TLOU 2) or they just shit on it endlessly.

A more intelligent game would have had more intelligent Easter eggs/references. Portal isn't exactly the first thing you think of when your "cyberpunk".

Yeah i saw that. Imho John Wick one is better because it is sublime rather than in your face.

That's actually not bad, you picked the one feathery long hair style the game has I presume?

 

[Urthor]

All I can say is the Blood and Wine of this game is going to be so fucking good

Regardless of everything else the core gameplay loop shits on Witcher 3's snoozefest

CAKE? TESTS? I KNOW WHAT THOSE ARE!

Jesus, higher tier items are ACTUALLY labelled with the word "legendary" in the game's menus and interface?

Being "a legend" is a thing in CP's language, so they probably thought it will fit But then you also have "iconic"... As I said previously, it's obvious they just combined whatever work can be done simultaneously on the multiplayer title and on the single player title into the same tasks for developers to work on. Typical corporate project management approach. It is sad to behold.

I think they will definetly work on fixing issues that would affect both the SP and MP Cyberpunk games, probably clean up assets, but on the whole they will be concentrating on the MP game apart from the obligatory expansions.

My V.

Here she is in an elevator. I was fucking around with outfits and I thought this looked like stupid but neat enough to be a good fit for the city:

But I didn't really like the trousers that much and in general it was too silly of a look so I changed to this soon after

I used this red mask and boots for a long while because I really like both but haven't found anything that would fit perfectly with them so they were stashed for now tho I might upgrade them and return sometime in the future even tho I really like the most recent look.

The last one is probs the dumbest look ever but it's just so funny to me like random gangster being killed by someone in a cozy jumper and huge boots.

Well, great style there. I'm just lvl 10, so mine looks much more generic, also less cybered-up. Did the shops update with higher tier clothes as you progressed, or did you loot most of this gear?

They upgrade based on your street level. In the stats screen (menu > character > stats) you see a detailed breakdown of when street level upgrades stuff.

Tho I think most of it has been looted or crafted.

and besides DLSS that sometimes makes the performance of this limited RT viable (while also blurring everything),

Have you tried "quality" DLSS in Cyberpunk? I hated it in Control (yes even 2.0) but in Cyberpunk I think it looks quite nice. Control looked pasty and overly sharpened to me, but Cyberpunk looks crisp and detailed without looking overly processed. Maybe it's because Control had some weird background resolution chicanery going on already.

From what I've seen so far in my own game DLSS is not noticeable for me either to be honest, but can't decide whether I like RT in cyberpunk altogether because of the lighting, especially for interiors. I can't help but sometimes feel RT is a downgrade, at least compared to what I like to see.

Probably just a personal taste, but for me, these easter eggs are still good. I mean, Fallout 2 was criticized for similar thing, but i didn't mind at all - no damage to my immersion was done, it's still a game and not DayZ. It's not like they slap your face with entire sequences of quests named "MATRIX" "JOHN WICK" "BARBIE" "MINECRAFT "PORTAL" where you are doing them with crew of matrix etc. - that would be bad.

Who is the John Carmack here who still says that the game is unoptimized: 6GB Vram at 1440p, ~7.5 at 4K:

Unless the game has in-game tool measuring the VRAM usage, such benchmarks are pointless as GPUs will allocate more VRAM than they actually need at all times (and that inflated amount is what tools like MSI Afterburner will show). Windows works similar with regular RAM (at least W10 does).

That John Carmack should play Fallout 76 and try to set texture quality to high while having GTX 1060 6GB. High isn't even the highest option as far i as remember.

Witcher 1-3 is pretty natural slide into depresion and alcoholism.
Cyberpunk more like today came my bank account notification with a few million extra.

Yeah, what surprised me is that a lot of head gear takes into account what hairstyle you chose and adjust it. Good deal of those headpiecies does change hair for different one..

Traffic and peds amount heavily depends on part of city and hour. And game looks fucking nuts:

btw youtube fucking sucks. I recorded it and it doesn't even look half good as in game due to compresion and how blacks get fucked up. Pretty much the only way to get it right is to play game at 4k and upload it so that 1080p will rook right.

Skyrim vibes, im enjoying the game for what it is but its meme potential is infinite.

And it looks fucking great in the video, if ingame it looks even better, that is one hell of a great looking game.

depends on your hardware

good computer/streaming = having fun

bad computer/consoles = crying about bugs
