Cyberpunk 2077 - We're finally Next-Gen!

[Svejk]

IGN gave it a 9. 
Not sure what's going on, but REEE is dead silent.  Not one topic on the current reviews.  Are they boycotting the game entirely? 

Anywho, so looking forward to this!  Friday can't come soon enough for me.

I just really hope none of the bugs permanently break quests. I can deal with other shit, but that’s really deflating.

Holy shit, that is the worst shit, indeed.

[Don Rumata]

I'm gonna wait it out for real i suppose.
Seems bugged to hell, so a couple of months will do the game good, and i was gonna have to play it with a 1060 anyway, so not exactly the best case scenario.

Hopefully in the spring a bunch of patches will have come out, and NVIDIA will have restocked their shit.

[Human Snorenado]

All of this "seems bugged to hell" talk seems sketch to me, like I don't expect this to be even as buggy as, say, a Bethesderp game on release. Bitches just love to bitch.

[Great Rumbler]

It's a modern AAA game set in a huge open world, I'm going in expecting there to be bug and glitches. As long as it's not crashing every ten minutes or bugging major quests to where they can't be completed, I'm not gonna be bothered too much.

The bugs in this game can't be worse than other games this fall. Call of Duty has been bricking consoles for fucks sake lmao.

guess ima be playing this on pc in the study after all 

[HardcoreRetro]

Loving what I'm reading outside of the bugs.

I 'memba when reviewers ignored bugs since they assumed stuff would get fixed, but it does sound pretty bad.

None of them have the second day one patch, so it remains to be seen if it stays that bad.

Hoping optimized settings with DLSS can give me decent performance with RT on with my 2080.

I looked at some screenshots on some Russian site comparing the game with and without Ray Tracing.
The screenshots with Ray Tracing in some cases kinda killed the dark and tech noir mood with overly lit and bright surfaces.

even PC has been downgraded

Don't worry, the original reveal version is in PC heaven along with pre-release footage of Dark Souls 2, Watch_Dogs, The Division, Rainbow Six Siege (actually, all ubisoft games  ), Anthem, Witcher 3, etc.

Running free, happy and at 120 fps 8k on a farm in the sky.

[headwalk]

i've never been impressed by ray tracing in stills and even in motion a lot of the time i'm not sure if it looks "better" if you were trying to make a completely aesthetically pleasing composition.

what it does do is make things convincing. valve like to use the word "presence" with VR a lot, and RT does that visually. it takes a step out of the videogame uncanny valley which is more powerful than even the most spectacular particle effect to my mind.

[Nintex]

I think the 'vertical slice' method is mostly to blame for such downgrades. At one point there was probably a version of Cyberpunk with so many NPC's that looked like that.
But when the scale increases cuts have to be made both for performance and gameplay.

For example, when my brother starts testing a new map his team creates he usually sends them a list of things they should cut to improve the gameplay.
Because shit gets in the way of player movement or campers become impossible to hit. As I've been part of this beta/play testing for several games now I've seen quite some cool shit get cut that just didn't work in the final game for various reasons.

In CONTROL it definitely felt like an improvement and didn't change the overall look of the art direction much.
In the CP2077 screenshots it looks like it just lights up everything so it becomes more bright.

You can find them here (spoilers):

Especially in the hallway and bar screenshot it looks like that along with the RTX the gamma or brightness went up a few notches.

If anyone is playing this on XSX lemme know how it works in BC mode. Gonna hold off starting on this game for a while, still gotta wrap Yakuza 7 and hit some stuff in the backlog first while they iron out the jank

Where is this from? As the preload for PC only included a neutered EXE. Or is it from a pre-release review copy? Read for the latter they received console codes at least as early as November 9th.

Also, you good MmaRsu? That Gamespot review ain't really even cutting that deep man. She isn't down with all the cultural depictions or their contextualization. True. Why even bring Apu stuff up though? Just comes off like you're yelling "SJWs are ruining my games." KotakuInAction babble.

Not directed at you MMaRsu (and I don't have a axe to grind with you even with my previous comment), but man some people in here get just as pissy like people on RE or other message boards when a game they are hyped for isn't getting showered with golden stars, but instead gets a "good" review. C'mon the Bore. The game still is getting praised left and right and some people bitching about a review not loving it as much. Same shit like GAF like RE in some cases on here.

Found Jeff Gerstmann's livestream impressions after the embargo lifted via a Reddit comment (@7:30) and sounds like my worst expectations realized, heh. About 20m in and spoiler-free so far. Sounds like it might even surpass even TW3 levels of early glitches but separately seems the mechanics and side quests aren't compelling. That said apparently Jeff didn't like TW3 either so I'll judge for myself but will likely wait a little while to see if patches improve the bug side of things.

Also will be playing with the Japanese VA so hopefully it provides enough of a language barrier that dialog isn't distracting

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/828972351

[benjipwns]

They put that up on their YouTube channel too:


edit: One takeaway from the stream, Jeff Gerstmann finds the game too buggy for now, he would have preferred to play it after a month of patches. He compares it to Fallout 4's launch on consoles. (Note: Not performance issues, even on G's 2080. Hasn't crashed on either of them!)

Watching the IGN review, it seems like this is similar to Witcher 3 and Deus Ex Mankind Divided regarding length. If you play on medium difficulty and only do the main questline, it'll end up being a 20 hour game.

If you plan on doing side content or most of the content, your playtime will be doubled/tripled/quadrupled. And the side content in Cyberpunk sounds meaty and meaningful.

I bring up Mankind Divided because a ton of people thought it was super short since they beat it in 12 hours. In reality, there's a lot of side content and it was fucking excellent side content that bumped up playtime to around 30 hours. Witcher 3 is once again similar, except that's a 30-40 hour main quest extended to 100+ hours with side content.

It'd be crazy too if there isn't at least one expansion for Cyberpunk.

After reading a few of these critical pieces, like the Polygon shit article or this one, I am fed up with people who feel like this game (or any other) must adhere to their personal philosophy, their lifechoices and if they do not they are wack, offensive, racist, mysoginstic blabla

I honestly dont give a fuck what kind of grades the game itself gets. But if you are gonna review it, review it on its own merits. Not wether you think the Asian gang is racist because they use Katana's.

I'm guessing from here. It's interesting seeing how environments are affected by RT, where in most areas shown it seems the difference is a subtle enhancement while in this one that caught my eye it's a dramatically different look to where I wonder if the red lights are flashing that is causing such a lighting color change.

Well yeah its not just using RT reflections its using the whole shebang except path tracing I believe

So in this case its a question of the outside lights coming inside

Mine was already 33% done on PS5 when I just checked.  Do you mean to load it on the SSD specifically?  Mine's downloading on the external is maybe why.  I'm gonna transfer mine to the SSD prior to playing though fo sho.

No, I mean the actual download had to be started manually by me. Though I just turned it on at the time. Maybe if I waited a bit it would’ve auto-downloaded.

There is an option in the settings so PS4 games automatically install to external storage that’s checked on by default. I unchecked it, though I don’t if it’s actually downloading to the SSD now. I’ll have to check after it’s done.
