Cyberpunk 2077 Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

I like games about corporate dystopia made by big corporations

The big C&C will break down to what happens to the following, with my guess at the sort of options you have in parentheses. I'm obviously less certain about these things than the big picture stuff.
1) Johnny Silverhand and your relationship with him (destroy/betray him, assume his memories or whatever, give him some sort of peace, enact his revenge, reunite him with his girlfriend, in some combination)
2) The Walled Off Internet and Alt Cunningham (moar viruses, corporate control, restoration in no one's hands)
3) Who rules specific parts of Night City and what happens to them? Outcome of a possible Militech-Arasaka corporate war? Which particular members of each of the corporations ends up ruling.

Hopefully there is more. V's fate could go a lot of ways too, and I'm hoping less obvious choices have repercussions down the line, but that's probably pretty doubtful outside of cosmetic differences.

Gerstmann's story is that he's spent the last 5 years desperately trying to virtue-signal to his friends that he's a good social justice ally.

He definitely leans Left. It would be almost impossible not to as a journalist in San Francisco, your career would be fucked if you didn't. He's not super actively annoying about it though, politics rarely come up on their quick looks and live shows and when they do it's usually a brief "yeah well everything sucks right now, anyway..." kind of thing. Maybe he's been more outspoken here and there and I've missed it, but that backs up the fact he's not super annoying about it. It's not like he's fucking Patrick Klepeck or Ben Kuchera or whoever else, not by a long shot.

That car is ugly as all shit.

whole game with a ghost woulda been insufferable... unless the ghost is some hot chick in scantily-clad clothes

Someone hasn't played Dark Messiah.

Cos its a fucking tank.

Wait I'm reading some people say you can't choose your childhood hero anymore? Did I miss an interview with updated info about the initial character choices? If so

Replaced with character origins you can pick: Street kid, Nomad or Corporate.

Keanu hype was nice and all but I am too wondering if he'll be a nuisance after sometime. They did a similar thing in Hearts of Stone with Olgierd's bro's ghost but that was only one quest, whole game with a ghost woulda been insufferable... unless the ghost is some hot chick in scantily-clad clothes Damn, they shoulda switched Silverhand's and Alt Cunningham's roles.

But then they would have to hire a female star of the same caliber. The only one, I can think of, that is as universally liked as Keanu, is

I kind of want to upgrade my 1060 for this game, but I kind of also want to wait and see what the new consoles will do to PC graphics cards. Decisions, decisions...

Its generally the other way around: PC graphics cards rather directs consoles. Its all ray tracing hype these days. nvidia rtx and an impending amd equivalent is pushing consoles to have all that raytracing nothingness. Cyberpunk 2077 will have raytracing support as well. But I'd wait than to splurge cash on rtx graphic cards. Its all hype and no substance up till now.

Cool. Apart from the GFX card that's worse than my setup.

GPU and RAM are obviously an overkill to ensure the game won't crash, run with stable framerate and feature raytracing. It's ten months of a slow pace development (p. much confirmed a smooth release with minimal amount of bugs since there's no need to work in haste) away after all. But SSD is something one should consider already having since the game will take alot of space, more than The Witcher 3 for sure. As in, alot of data unpacking and firing from SSD to RAM and vice versa. Expect stuttering instead of loading screens if you have low RAM and HDD.
I also noticed how framerate in many games got stabilized after doubling the RAM to 16GB, especially open world games.

I doubt the game will need a *really* strong GPU, nvidia x60-x70 series should be enough. From gameplay snippet, one can see mirror reflections are simple cubemaps with questionable resolutions.

If true that Titan is completely unnecessary, it provides 3% more performance for 100% of the price against 2080Ti.
According to digital foundry guy they saw the game running in 4K 30fps.
Hopefully the final version will run similarly to Metro Exodus, 1440p/60fps/ultra with RTX enabled on 2080Ti.

Those are the specs they are developing on, IIRC.

Don't. Only upgrade after the game release.

Oh really, I wonder what practical function that godawful grill imitation on the front fulfills.
