I'll probably wait for the 2021 next gen version seeing as its unlikely I'll be getting a PS5 anytime this year.
Its shocking on base PS4 tbf

My analysis of this so far is that it's nothing groundbreaking but I am really enjoying it because it's very much my sort of thing. Nice options for approaching missions and combat, the braindances are fun for investigation (albeit based on the first one seem rather Arkham-y and fall well short of the standard for this sort of thing which has now been set by Obra Dinn), good characters, well written and Night City is great from what I've seen so far.
The driving is awful though. Like trying to wrestle a greased pig.
I can see why people find that an interesting start but can't be doing that on my first playthrough.Quote:

But they have so many pube options.
Cyberplump 2077
Cyberpeen 2077:
Played three and a half hours of it so far and some early observations:
A cursor for the menus on a console game? Abysmal idea.
The first couple of hours are poor and the game does a piss poor job of introducing you to the city.
It's got better since then and has had some moments where I've felt genuinely immersed, so I'm still hopeful it'll be a cracking game.

1) Is it, is it really? Where? And even if it is, it's still shite.
2) Is it obvious when I'm out of the prologue? The game seems like it's opened up now and I'm only 3.5 hours in.
Ubisoft has been using it for ages although I agree, it's shite.
I thought Ubisoft used it on main menus, but once in the game they pulled back a bit. I stand corrected if not.
It's everywhere in Cyberpunk though, facking everywhere.
1) All ubisoft games, Destiny, No mans sky, Deus Ex, loads of others. Witcher inventory was way worse. Just to note, this is one of the few games where PC players outnumber consoles.Quote:

How else are you going to tell the two points apart? Lunatic.
I disagree on the opening. Certainly for the nomad I liked it. Night City starting way off in the distance, you go through the corpo bureaucracy shit and then get a lovely night-drive through the city before that montage. I'm surprised, but not unhappy, that they didn't drag that out a bit longer to be honest. And having the City be something I learn more about as I go is good for me. Show, don't tell.
This is how I feel about a lot of the use of tech terminology/slang - rather than spoon-feed it to me I have to follow it and learn as I go. The world exists without me and I'm not the superhero that everything revolves around, which feels great.Quote:

One example on the above: I went to meet some guy (fat South African (?) thug who runs some kinda sex emporium) and I initially got into a fight with him and ended up getting killed by him. I approached it differently once I'd respawned and took a different route, used my stealth/hacking skills to break into their security system and get some evidence to leverage against him. Didn't even get into a fight and he ended up nicely showing me out.
I noticed a cursor on the main menu of Assassins Creed Odyssey, I think that's the first time I've encountered that on a console. Thought it was a bug at first
Fallout is barely an RPG these days. It's a shooter with some turn-based action and stats.Quote:

EDIT: Actually that's not entirely true. I mean I did have the big unwanted shootout but I liked the actual outcome, so I like how the game handled it.
Got another 8 hours to download at the rate it's going, so it'll be tomorrow before I play it by the looks of things.
Can't wait. I haven't had a game so close to release day since CM03/04. Outside of the old CM games, I think it was probably Duke 3D. I've never usually had a pc that can handle new games.
I've put the main quest stuff on the back burner for the moment and set about earning some cash. Seems like the easiest way to do this is to go on the map and go to the little blue "police incident" things. Usually just need to blast a few gang people and you'll earn a decent wedge each time. I've settled on a load out too: silenced pistol (weak but just about good enough if I sneak up and get a couple of headshots), a smart shotgun which is bonkers and then a red katana for when things go sideways :drool:
1440p, DLSS Quality, everything on high, RTX on Ultra. Its a fucking looker.

I can't max everything but it's still very pretty.
Also following Raoul's post I just acquired my first smart weapon. Can confirm they're very silly.
I've got to say, for the first time I'm rather unimpressed with DS' screenshots.
This is an updated version of a PS3 game:

It does kinda help that the Yakuza city is laughably small. I've played the game (Kiwami 1 or 2 i think) it looks good but nothing akin to Cyberpunk RTX'd out the arse in motion.Quote:

That's a 1080 screenshot not 4k and I'm really not having a go but this game struggles.
The main point of focus in this shot and the texture looks like

I actually agree that it doesn't look that nice. However, the screenshot you choose - I'm guessing that's intentional from the game - It's some sort of wacky billboard.Quote:

So wacky they ran out of texture memory and put the same ad on the other side of the road and then 2 of the same ad directly above it?Quote:

Its got DLSS on. The post literally states it. Thats what DLSS does.Quote:

Maybe it's the whole, my career revolves around literally making images to have the likes of DLSS applied to it that makes me not understand what you're saying here.Quote:

I'm in favour of moar freds in this case if it means this one isn't full of an argument about pixels.
I'm happy to bow out and lose whatever the discussion is. Just thought it looked real nice.Quote:

It does look nice, I agree. I've just been doing the quest earlier for Delamain with the missing cabs which has allowed me to see more different parts of the City and its an excellent place.

Just done a quest with someone called Panam which was immense. Best quest so far in terms of its depth, excitement and ways to approach it. Awesome shit.
After a busy weekend I’m finally starting this, going Nomad.

I prefer bikes in this to be honest, but I suppose a freebie is a freebie.
Also Contagian is such a good quickhack.
Is the general consensus that this pretty much totally playable, then? I'm a bit put off starting it by all the reports online about it being a buggy mess on consoles. I realise people often work themselves into a fit of hysteria about the severity of these things though.
It seems to be a hell of a lot more stable on PC, PS5 and the new Xbox. Last gen consoles are basically a write off, though.
I havent had a single crash or major bug, just some graphical glitches which seem to come with most new releases.
I've been playing it solid on a basic PS4 for a few days now - it's definitely struggling but has been fine and playable. Most of the people complaining are internet bedwetters who expected the moon on a stick.

One I had to just do a quickload because a quest hadn't completed when it should have, another I couldn't make it let me to speak to an NPC for a sidequest so I just had to complete it via an alternative method. Probably had a dozen or so other very minor things that caused no issues.Quote:
