[Mozzarella]

Played 4 hours so far.
Character creator was surprisingly good. Presets are nice looking.
Game looks fantastic at my high end gaming PC, Art direction is great, soundtrack is explosive and so cool.
Gameplay wise i have not seen much yet but i can see its fun.
Very immersive game.
Encountered 2 glitches 1 at Lizzie bar, 1 at character creation. (T pose NPC, also presented on reddit rgaming) (CC bug where my mouse goes up, solved on its own after few seconds)
Performance is good but thats thanks to my super gaming pc.

So far im getting hooked, i will go back and enjoy the ride, Night City looks promising.
As for consoles i think base old gen is going to have bad performance, glad i bought a new PC.

Have Fun!

Had two enemies spawn inside a wall on a mission today. I couldn't shoot them, scan them, or even see them. I could hear them and they could shoot me just fine.

Think I might shelve the game until they get a few patches out, the bugs are ruining the experience for me.

 

[ManaByte]

when is this “title drop”?? I don’t remember it. Maybe I completely missed it. I’m about 10 hours in.

as far as the main story goes I’ve just arrived at Lizzie’s bar.

Long after that actually. Right before Act 2.

That would be why, Lizzie's bar is only like the 3/4th main quest.

 

[who_me]

Damn shame many reviewers needed to rush through this game. Going through the world, exploring, the side quests and spontaneous events are just great

 

[#Phonepunk#]

I'm a bit suprised the OT is not going as hard as I would have thought. Maybe most of you are all in the usa. But only like 10 pages got added today

Stayed up til 2 last night and only got that many hours in the game now I’m at work but once five o clock rolls around I’m back in for the weekend!

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Love it! And holy shit, that montage in the beginning (Streetkid lifepath) was real time?! I totally assumed it was pre-rendered.

Yeah I’m really into this being an immersive experience no need to rush through and “beat” the game I’m exploring this giant world at my own pace.

 

[DeadMansParty]

this game without DLSS and raytracing on is like unplayable. It is absolutely amazing about the power of DLSS though, the fact they got the game to run as well as it does. DLSS by far to me needs to be in the next switch console. It will be an absolute game changer and would greatly benefit that console.

 

[John Day]

Only done first mission afte arriving at NC, got back to my apartment. Loving it so far, but it’s too early gameplay-wise to say definately. But i’m so into the world, that i do love a lot.

Have fun mates!

 

[b0uncyfr0]

So no PC optimization guides?

 

[Rillania]

Played for about 2.5 hours last night, and I'm enjoying it so far. Went the Nomad path, and I'm starting to really warm up to Jackie, especially when he was smooth talking the cop lady so we could get into Watson. Game looks absolutely amazing on High settings with DLSS and Ray Tracing (2060 super). Looking forward to playing more today and hopefully getting to the open portions where I can kind of just fart around and explore.

Does it matter if you installate Cyberpunk for Playstation 5's SSD or external SSD?

 

[Golgo 13]

Does it matter if you installate Cyberpunk for Playstation 5's SSD or external SSD?

I don’t think so because it’s technically a PS4 game running in BC. I will say using the PS5’s SSD makes loading times impressively short though.

I installed it on the SSD, load times are fast.

Exploration is better than in the Witcher? Do you get unique encounters, locations, and gear?
I loved how the world was crafted in TW3, but there was little interesting content to find outside of main story and quests ( world and exploration was more a setpiece for stories). Is it more Bethesda, Deus Ex or Ubisoft?

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

I have a friend who saw some PC footage and said he can't wait to play on his XSX. I feel like I should tell him it won't be a 1:1 experience but that'd be a dick move. I'll just wait for him to text me "dafuq?!?!"

 

[SullaFelix]

Has anyone experienced 'emergent' events in the world while travelling? Haven't seen anything yet beyond gigs/side missions marked on the map.

Yup there are unique elements and events that you will miss out if you don't explore. An example some of the crimes that pop up, if you clear the crime there is very good loot to be had. Last night I walked into an open bar area and saw a hacking terminal. Didn't know it was a gang territory because after I hacked the terminal I was being chased. I booked it

 

[Lister]

So no PC optimization guides?

There are a couple.

I found that Screenspace reflection quality and ambient occlusion quality have the highest effect on performance of the rasterization settings.

I would also recommend using Nvidia's sharpening feature if you're using either DLSS or FidelityFX to get a nice sharp image even when upscaling.

RTX2080 - Ryzen 7 2700 - 32GB

runs smooth and looks great.
I love this game....

I was listening to Layman Gaming and Skill up talking together about their experiences and they get into the side quests some. Layman mainlined the main storyline firstly before tackling quests and was a bit underwhelmed by his ending options, whereas Skill up did a bunch of side quests and had a lot more options apparently, so it definitely pays to take you tome and do those sidequests as is a cohesive unified whole. They do ramble on about issues with the embargo etc for a while but they get into the juice of the ending/side quests around the 12 minute mark

I swear I made a huge dick for my chick, but when I looked in the mirror in my flat it wasn’t there? Transphobia?

My friend has the PS4 version. Base PS4. Took the day off work to play. Has no internet so needs to play the unpatched version.

Your friend doesn’t have it so bad

 

[kraspkibble]

Same. So fucking confusing. The flathead mission baffles me. I had no idea how to stop the net runner. Infuriating stuff

 

[BKNY84]

Any advice for using starting points? Want a stealth build where I don’t have to kill people and can get out of things by conversation. Is that viable and where would I put points into mostly? Thanks.

 

[GeorgPrime]

Cyberpunk 2077 breaks Steam record

Cyberpunk 2077 has broken Fallout 4's singleplayer record for the most concurrent players on Steam, and it's by a long, long way.

The Anti Woke Press seems to boost that game. xD

 

[IgnotumCL]

I think Cool might be what you want. Just read the descriptions and see what interests you

There’s skill checks for all the different attributes in conversation.

Sometimes you can use cool, sometimes body. I’m trying to keep mine balanced, because I’ve always been a fan of persuasion and talking my way out of shit in RPGs.

 

[mr.dilya]

I've played for 6 hours so far. 0 bugs or crashes.

Safe to say that was slighly overblown?

The internet would never blow anything out of proportion.....

I’m almost done the heist at the beginning and had one bug where I couldn’t choose different dialogue options so I had to reload the checkpoint (which was right there.)

I haven’t had any of that. Just some performance issues but I can lower some settings to fix it.

How do you change the camera when driving on ps5 it says right on the dpad but when I press it nothing happens?!

Game is incredible.

As I understand it, you get these automatically from attributes:
Body: Intimidation
Intelligence: Logical arguments
Cool: Persuasion
Anyone can confirm this?
Since it's action rpg at it's core, they probably didn't want to add a more redundant Charisma stat.

 

[smileBrandon]

Does anybody have and recommend the strategy guide? Thinking about picking it up to help with a 100% run.

 

[AdjudicatorHead]

I have the guide but sadly not the game yet, gotta wait until the December pay check comes in to get the game. My guide was paid and pre-ordered months ago before all the delays so I got it today.

Had a skim through the whole thing ignoring spoiler and story sensitive text, seems to be incredibly thorough and shows a flowchart of branching story paths, side missions and the different endings on offer and how to get to them. Full details of every main mission, side mission, gig, hustle etc in the game with map markers and recommendations of when to do them. It seems great from what I've read so far, I imagine it will DEFINITELY help with 100%.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

About five hours in or so.

I'm pretty confident in saying that this is the greatest world ever created in a video game. The detail is *ridiculous*.

I understand the performance issues should be noted, but seriously, this game deserves every accolade it gets.

Yeah, this.

So besides achievement hunting with the guide, it spoils narrative choices?

 

[HotPocket69]

Just had my first crash on the Pro. I was going through the menu pretty quick and I’m sure that did it. Don’t give a fuck. Been saving often and the auto save system itself is pretty damn great.

Back to taking over Watson. Haven’t even met up with Jackie to go to the Ripperdoc yet

 

[SafeOrAlone]

For those further along than me, would you say the open world is utilized to it's fullest? By that I mean, are enemies intelligent enough to pursue you through it and does the level design make for exciting action? I hear a lot about the verticality, but how does it effect the gameplay?

 

[smileBrandon]

I love the NPC count but bro, they don't say anything. Watch Dogs 1 felt more alive due to the ambient convos NPCs randomly had.

 

[AdjudicatorHead]

So besides achievement hunting with the guide, it spoils narrative choices?

From my impression (and they stated this at the start of the guide), any time there's spoiler sensitive content in the narrative it will have a red disclaimer beforehand warning you not to read on until you've done certain things.
