CYBERPUNK 2077 |OT2| The Last Samurai [>56K Warning_]

Alright so raytracing mode is completely unplayable. As may already be known I'll take 30fps with better graphics anyway of the week. I played through dying light 2 in raytracing mode with zero problems, but something funky is happening here. It controls like shit in raytracing mode. No matter what I do I can't get the controls to feel good, shooting anything with accuracy is next to impossible. I'm assuming it's some sort of input lag issue cause once i switch to 60fps everything is fine.

Lame. 60fps it is I guess.

Yeah but raytracing here is so useless since its only for shadows, not the actual lighting. So taking a 30fps dip just to have slightly better looking shadows is a pointless trade-off IMO.

A few months?! Shit, they could've made that a little more clear. Alright I guess I'll keep that in mind going forward as I meet all these people who talk as if we've known each other for decades.

The montage is pretty much the game everyone wanted to play but did not get to.

Finished the main campaign. Glad it was short, but like with all games I play, near the end I'm like skip skip skip dont care dont care etc.

I prefer a shorter campaign. I often find the way too long. Now I can return to the city and do side quests, gigs, explore etc.

I liked it for what it was worth.

Side note: zero glitches. Game ran smooth as heck. Looked great and lots to do in a full immersive world.

I try to replay it on PS4 pro with the latest patch, and it’s a mess now. It wasn’t that bad at release.
But I think I’m happy they focus more on next gen. Hopefully, I move to next gen one day once things in the market is a little less crazy.

I’m one of the gamers that skipped CP2077 when it released due to the horrible launch on all platforms. But now I started it three days ago and I have one word to describe it … phenomenal

The story dragged me in from the start and got me interested to go on, the world of cyberpunk is just wow specially if you are going ultra with RT on oh man what a beautiful city specially at night. The performance till now is so solid for me، when it comes to frame drop or screen tearing, these things never faced in CP, with heavy action on screen the drop is unnoticeable you don’t feel it. Of course HDR is still broken in this game no matter what you did but I’ve been using auto HDR on W11 and the results is great. It’s embarrassing that windows 11 HDR works better than in game HDR!

Hope they fix it soon but rather than that this game is beautiful

If the 'Psycho" preset in Cyberpunk 2077 isn't nova max enough for you, we've got you covered, chooms. While Cyberpunk is beautiful on its own, we've tracked down five of the best graphics mods available for pc. Any one of these mods would make a great addition to your load order, and yes, we even used them all at once. Links to all featured mods in this video are listed below.

Desperate to remove the Relic within his head, V begins contacting shady ripperdocs online to see if they’re able to extract the biochip. Things steadily go south, however, as V begins to suspect they have no real expertise and are just scammers out for his eddies.

Recently started a game. I'm 10 hrs into a character and I noticed my athletics is at 0%.

:/

Is this a fuckin bug?

Is there a way to determine which attributes grow with use? I'm seeing weaponry go up but no idea where to check what else will organically increase in stats?
Most of them should be pretty obvious in what levels them. Of the ones that aren't:
Athletics - stamina use
Engineering - grenade use, using tech weapons to shoot through obstacles
Cold Blood - killing while cold blood is active, maintaining stacks of cold blood

So, retrying this now on Series X, as I picked up a copy for £7.

It’s much, much improved from that launch mess, but it’s still pretty damned buggy.

I’ll stick with it this time though, as at least it feels polished enough now to continue.

There are five Cyberpunk 2077 endings (technically epilogues, except for the "bad" ending) that you can get by simply playing the main story and making your choices - but there's also a secret hidden ending that offers a twist on the finale that feels like about as much of a "canon Cyberpunk 2077 ending" as we're going to get. Here's how to unlock the Cyberpunk 2077 secret ending.

I'm a net runner style. I really don't need to do much except stand there and hack dudes. Anybody know the steps when approaching a fight? I forget? Ping? Breach protocol? You look for the little panel to jack into. Smoked a bowl last night and it's tough with all the things I need to relearn. Didn't know what I was doing.

Breach protocol does a bunch of stuff but depends on what you've invested in the perk tree, generally increase enemy's weaknesses and decrease ram usage. A must-do for every combat encounter basically.

The panels are just for collecting hack components and a bit of money. Not very useful at the beginning but you'll miss those extra components later when you're crafting higher tier quickhacks.

All you want to do basically is get higher tiers Cyberdecks as quickly as possible and collect as much quickhacks as you can (you ca go around shopping for them).
Hacker is generally very OP and you can just hide and start hacking enemies one by one, through line of view or cameras, or inflict some chaos with turrets and Cyberpsychosis quickhacks. You're only generally screwed if you get spotted, though how screwed depends on the difficulty level and how good you are with other methods of combat.

game is really good, maybe even great.

but the driving mechanics are craptastic. it’s sluggish, unresponsive, and unoptimized. for a game where driving is a big part of getting around i can honestly say i hate it and actively avoid it.

also while verticality is such a hallmark of the level design i’m dumbfounded they don’t have any controllable aerial vehicles.

i sound negative but really this game is like a rough diamond.

I think that would make the verticality too trivial though. You'd feel zero need to parkour, get certain cyberlegs or just explore the enviroment if you had a floating bike just waiting for your call, ready to take you to any rooftop.

having cyber legs and a flying car are not mutually exclusive. just like running and driving to places are not. i’m lamenting the inability to explore and sightsee from above street level.

its just a game design thing. To use an extreme analogy, its as if a FPS like DOOM suddenly gave you a weapon on the level of the BFG 9000 with fast fire and unlimited ammo. Sure you're not excluding other weapons, but having it does botch the entire balance of the game, since people would have no reason to use anything but that.

Similarly (though to lesser degrees), flying vehicles could ruin a lot of aspects of CP77's design, even if technically they're still there.

yeah jump legs already trivialize the game hugely

i've played through about 90% of the game already and i can't think of a single mission where a flying car would upset that mission's balance. the vast majority of gigs and side missions are played out at street level in a small 75'x75' grid and the story missions are basically hand holding you through the objectives, not to mention the game actively stops your car from entering a 'mission space'. on the other hand there are many instances where i've said to myself, 'damn that thing looks neat i'd sure like a closer look' or 'this sunset would look awesome from that rooftop' or 'this rain effect is awesome too bad there isn't a spinner around to enjoy it ala blade runner'. this game's environments is one of its crown achievements and the lack of true 3d traversal is a shame given how verticality is built into its design.

Any gig with rooftop areas, balconies, elevators, etc. Not to mention it would also trivialize things like marking enemies, getting ideal sniper/hacking positions, since i could always get on some rooftop or usually unacessible place that enemies can't reach or hit you.
I can think of tons of gigs and hustles where i could exploit the ability to fly to cut through half of the challenge and work, which already feels a bit too easy at times.

for any line of sight combat if you can snipe them they can snipe you back. for hacking, sure you can camp on a rooftop and short circuit every visible mook but what's the fun of it if you have to wait 30-60 seconds between quickhacks to recharge ram, are you playing or cheesing your way through the game? even if you are cheesing your way through a game, i don't particularly find that 'bad' as its just part of the emergent gameplay element that is the central thesis for these big open world sandbox games. it's part of the challenge for a game designer, if you're finding your play testers are sniping all the time and making easy kills, add bullet drop to increase the difficulty (you know, if they're sniping make them an honest sniper) or add more indoor missions/objectives, etc. maybe the reason i'm not fussed about flying cars is because i play a brawler with gorilla arms, but i'd sure like to fly around in this game's concrete canyons.

uh... ok, lets put aside the other talk for now because.... are you leveling up your hacking properly? Assuming you have an intelligence character.
A properly leveled and upgraded netrunner can wipe out an entire building without having to worry about running out of RAM at all.

btw you're always meant to be OP in this game. you literally are on your way to become a NC legend. being a legend is not a small feat, you have to overpower others in a super strong way to ensure survivability. otherwise a random bullet, a random shot, a random hickup would stop you in your track. that's why power creep in this game never makes me bored of it. it just turns the game into a power fantasy for me. after gaining such hardware, skills and experience, I'd like to actually streamroll over enemies.

becoming a NC legend in the end, you can look back and say "yeah I owned them stuff with ease"

remember that secret ending is also a part of the game's canon. it is the ending where V is able to solo the entire arasaka HQ. and yeah, it is actually hard, however OP you are. you really need to be well prepared, focused, and do minimal mistakes and be stacked up. but in the end, only a warrior who can easily handle gigs can even think of such an assault...

no i'm playing a fisticuffs brawler, then the rest is jack-of-all trades. between the ram and cool down it gets hairy with the quickhacks. that's not my point though, all i'm saying is i'm disappointed cdpr didn't bake-in the necessary elements (collision, gameplay, etc.) for player aerial vehicles, its a no-brainer move for a cyberpunk game, especially a game with this map, but i guess they had other priorities.

Wouldn't a berserk be more efficient here than a cyberdeck then? I guess a sandevistan would also be useful for a close-quarters combatant too.

i mean, yeah, its stuff thats easier said than done. Not to mention even if they baked in all the necessary elements they'd still have to either re-balance the game around it, or implement in a bunch of stoppers in order for flying vehicles to not be exploited.

as have been brought up already, one can become pretty op in this game, i can 1 punch about half the mobs at this point, using berserk would be overkill. i like to use quickhacks to mix it up, experience the other side of this game. again i don't think flying cars would upset balance much, so what if you could get to a perch more easily, you're playing a sniper right? and the bodies you leave behind would be discovered that much more easily which puts the other mobs on alert and into hiding. it'd just be another way to crush a mission. all that said, its a moot point, this game if it ever had flying cars planned at all doesn't now, and from the videos i've seen for the 'let there be flight' mod lots of buildings are missing roof top collision and lod. i think its a big missed opportunity, this map deserves more 3d traversal.
