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

In-game Kojima?

Aw, that reminds me - I think I heard one of these YouTubers saying the celebrity cameos in the game will be invulnerable? I mean, it's bad enough you put 'em in there, at least you could let us have some fun with it.

For the record, that Blair Witch Project reference in Baldur's Gate II was droll, but it still didn't belong.

>70-90% CPU use on a 9900 with DX12
Considering that in Witcher 3's case the game would be limited even by the fastest CPUs as well, looks like this will be another unoptimized dumpster fire.
Also guy says the lighting and shadows sucked in the club, great use of raytracing there!

Some interesting insights regarding the performance, graphics and overall feeling of the playable demo. In Polish but google translate should be more than enough to get the gist of it: https://www.purepc.pl/gralem-w-cyberpunk-2077-wymagania-sprzetowe-i-jakosc-grafiki

Thanks, that's useful though a little disheartening. I've already been kicking myself a bit over getting the 9700K instead of the 9900K last year, and it looks like it might come back to bite me sooner than I thought.

Especially since you could've bought a Ryzen with the same performance for half the price.

our full playthrough impressions [...] 4 hour demo

I didn't even bother clicking on that. I mean if you compare it to Twitcher3, how much is 4 hours if you take listening to dialogs and driving in account?
Probably the same thing jewtubers played for "5 hours" and had nothing new to say except: "driving is a lot slower and more sluggish than in the gameplay video"...

By my standards, "4 hours in Witcher 3" is getting close to the end of the White Orchard.

I probably spent too much time on Gwent then.

 

[Longes]

I probably spent too much time on Gwent then.

My memory of the White Orchard is:

• 1 hour to get to the inn, fuck around with Gwent, do the burned down smithy quest.
• 1 hour to do the haunted well, plus some fucking around with random encounters/points of interest
• 1 hour to do the missing brother quest and the missing pan quest
• 1 hour to fuck around some more
• 1 hour to go into the griffin endgame

But you are probably right and I'm just forgetting how long it takes to do various things, less memorable quests, and the amount of fucking around.

There's a lot of fucking around in the beginning when you still learn what are the restrictions to the exploration, how monster scaling and level gating works and what is really interesting when looting, and what is vendor trash.

So pairing an R3 3300X with RTX 3080 Ti is a bad idea... Well fuck.

 

[Curratum]

Don't worry about your hardware, guys! They will downgrade this thing so fucking hard, I'm sure I will be able to play on Medium on my i5 and RX 570! :D

 

[Bliblablubb]

On one hand I am carefully optimistic because Twitcher3 ran smooth as silk. On the other hand sometimes games just run sluggish on my toaster... for unknown reasons. Usually when it's full of fancy effects.
So every time I read about fancy lighting, godrays and similiar gimmicks I am getting a baaaaad feeling.

What on earth is he talking about? The only thing Witcher 3 did piss on is its own feet.

 

[Harthwain]

I think he complements how quests were done in TW3? Other than that I don't recall anything extraordinary about it.

 

[Longes]

Witcher 3 "showed us what is really possible" in the sense of it being the second best selling western RPG ever. The only game that sold more copies is Skyrim, and Skyrim has four years of seniority and a million re-releases. So, in that sense the accursed redditor is right - Witcher 3 took a piss on every other RPG by becoming a mainstream success and making all of the money.

 

[Curratum]

Witcher 3 is the best RPG since Baldur's Gate 2, you fucking inbreds.

Witcher 3 is an awesome interactive movie with action adventure elements. An RPG, hardly, let's be honest.

When everything is an rpg now, Twitcher 3 comes off as a pleasant suprise in it's compact and not necessary perk tree.

 

[Ol' Willy]

Witcher 3 is not an RPG.

If you insist on it being an RPG, then San Andreas is RPG too. It has skills!

Cyberpunk 2077 is definitely an RPG, and it's prequels like San Andreas, yes.

It's been funny to occasionally check in on this game and watch the aesthetics gradually go from Kowloon Walled City to Borderlands-meets-Miami Beach.

It's only funny because it's true!

To be honest, the Cyberpunk aesthetic wasn't fitting for GTA6, glad Rockstar Poland realized it.
