Super hyped for this game, tbh... anybody else anxiously awaiting the release?

[baseline bum]

Will be waiting in line at the CODEX Store November 19th. And then probably not play it for 8 months. :lol

[Reck]

You get your copy early or what?

I've been thinking of getting this...but I'm not sure I want to take on another big project. (When I start a game I like to collect everything)

[ElNono]

No early copy here... just waiting in line like everyone else, tbh...

Probably snag the next gen version too...

[ElNono]

Also looking forward to Valhalla, tbh

And yet I still bought a Dell s2721dgf and 3080 OC for it. :lmao

i snagged the limited edition xbone x CP2077 console awhile back, and the game is already registered to it so i'll have it on release day. will see how shitty it looks on console before i decide to just get it on PC. :lol but been waiting on this one for awhile tbh. 2nd most anticipated release of 2020 for me tbh

Naw man, LoU2 was my #1 this year, then CP2077 then FF7R. LoU2 lived up to expectations, FF7R was an abortion.

Pretty disappointed now :lol sucks they pushed it back again but better to make sure its optimized across all platforms and wait a bit longer than release it and have issues i guess. Gives me more time to play Watchdogs Legion i suppose

LOL, fuck them, I´ve pre-ordered the game and Im tired of so many BS.
Gold is gold, so the game was ready and no excuses they even used that hobo Keanu everywhere.
This is the last time I pre-order something from them, FPS is not their game it seems.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

As long as they got free nexgen upgrade we good

I think this game is going to turn out like Watch Dogs.

Looks amazing from the outside, gets delayed for "polishing" purposes, gets released and not only did it looked like shit, the story was boring as shit.

I'm staying away from this one for a long time.

I have a hard time believing the PC recommended requirements too: i7-4790 + GTX 1060. Wonder if you could get 1080p60 at medium with such a setup. That's nearly the exact cpu I'm running so it would be nice if that really would be enough for high settings though.

CDPR has had to strike down a bunch of videos from people who got the game early too. Interested to see if my cpu will be enough for this game since it's 6 years old. It has handled RDR2 great though. Although that's the only hard to run game I have played since getting a gpu for my PC in the summer (other games I played on PC since then are Sekiro, Yakuza 0-2, and Persona 4 Golden, none of which stresses the cpu at all).

Just pirate the PC version since you already paid for the game anyways. The game will release on GOG on launch date, and GOG has no DRM, so you don't have to wait for it to be cracked. If you want I'll send you a link to download it for PC as soon as it's posted. As soon as someone can download it from GOG it'll be going up as a torrent and a couple hours later it'll be on direct download sites like 1fichier and mega.co.nz.

Don't you have like a 1070? The game is going to look so much better on that than it will an XBox One X or S.

[Cry Havoc]

Preordered a couple of months ago on GOG.

AMD r5 3600 with a 1080 should run it just fine.

Want to hold off on a cpu upgrade until the rumored $220 Ryzen 5 5600 drops, especially since you can't find a Ryzen 5 5600x in stock anywhere anyways.

That's likely just focusing on the main quest. Witcher 3 was "only" 50 hours long if you only did the primary quests, but 150+ hours if you did the side quests.

Also, there will be at least two long DLCs for Cyberpunk that are both included in the cost of the base game, so even if it's only 30 for the main, the expansions should add another 20 or more, and way more in side quests.

[baseline bum]

From the reviews that came out today definitely sounds like that 25 hour time is from rushing through the main story without doing the optional sidequests. Game looks like it'll have tremendous replay value based on how the world changes based on your decisions. Also sounds buggy as hell with garbage performance, so wondering if I'll have any path to 60 fps on my 1660 Super. Though Witcher 3 was buggy as hell too at launch; I used to constantly crash at launch. But Witcher 3 was pretty well optimized within a month or two if I remember right and just got better. Especially the Blood and Wine DLC.

YongYea said skillup told him overall it’ll take you 50-60 hours to 100% complete everything. That is still rather on the short end.

I’m leaning to waiting until a second patch to fix the bugs before I think of buying. Sounds like they’re almost game breaking.

I'll be waiting a while too. Mostly because I don't expect to finish RDR2 before 2021 starts. If the performance is that bad on PC right now I expect it to be a total fucking mess on consoles for a while, especially considering CDPR has only let people review the PC version so far.

It'll probably improve with the Day 1 patch as well as the removal of Denuvo (which is in the review builds sent out but won't be in the retail release). Or maybe I should say it'll hopefully improve. Still not buying their official chart saying GTX 1060 is enough for 1080p60 high though.

Thankfully, your character’s gender is not tied to your choice of genitals. You can create a dude with a vagina or a lady with a penis, that’s no problem. But because of everything else about how the game handles trans identity, this hardly feels like the progressive step it should be. Rather than just letting you pick your pronouns independently of all your other character creation choices, your pronouns are assigned based on your selection of voice: Pick the “feminine” voice and your pronouns are she/her, and vice versa. (There are no nonbinary pronoun options.) As a trans woman with a voice that many would not describe as “feminine,” this direct linking of gender identity to having a voice that sounds “masculine” or “feminine” feels weirdly essentializing.

I can speak best to Cyberpunk’s already controversial use of trans people. As seen in pre-release information, a lot of trans content is consigned to in-game ads, such as the soft drink ad (https://www.pcgamer.com/cyberpunk-2077-art-criticized-as-transphobic-is-meant-to-reflect-corporate-exploitation-says-the-artist/) featuring a female-appearing character with a giant cock bulging from her leotard. The game has yet to indicate if there are any other trans men in the world besides my version of V; I suspect I’m the only one, and I’m torn between relief and hoping to be proven wrong. I have encountered at least one other trans character: at one point I happened upon a dressing room conversation between a woman who identified herself as cis and a character who had a traditionally male appearance but a feminine voice, who bemoaned theatrically, “I’m a woman; that demands sacrifice.” Her companion replied, “See, I’ve always been a woman,” angering the trans character. “Oh, so this is what fucking sororal solidarity looks like now?” she snapped. Her companion replied, “Welcome to real life, sister.” As a trans person, this was a complicated, weird moment to overhear. The conversation comes after a key story scene, in an area you have to pass through to continue the quest; you could easily walk by it, but it’s hard to miss. I’m not sure why the developers seemed to want me to see it. On the one hand, I’ve heard versions of this conversation play out between cis and trans women in my real life, and had versions of it myself as a trans man with cis men. On the other hand, I could easily see the trans character’s appearance and voice being played for laughs. Of course, there was no option to rush up to the trans woman and say “I’m trans, too!” Both characters fell silent and didn’t have any more dialogue.

Cyberpunk 2077's transphobia becomes apparent as soon as players enter the character creation menu. The game sports an incredibly detailed and intuitive character creator, where players can manipulate and control various aspects of their characters' appearance -- including the shapes and sizes of their genitals. Players can even, if they choose, forego the option to include genitals at all. In and of itself, this isn't necessarily problematic or transphobic, especially because genitals don't seem to affect gender options.
At first, many trans players were happy with the idea that gender would not be determined by the character's genitals. However, that possible excitement turned to disbelief when gamers realized their character's gender and pronouns are not determined by genitals, but rather by voice (https://www.thegamer.com/cyberpunk-2077-voice-gender-pronouns). Only deep-voiced characters can be identified as male, while higher-pitched characters are identified as female, which purports the harmful idea that people's genders can be identified by certain traits

Cyberpunk 2077 is a mess on PS4 and Xbox One - and the memes have already begun
No resolution in sight.
News by Wesley Yin-Poole, Deputy Editor Updated on 10 December 2020

Cyberpunk 2077 launched at midnight last night, and now the console versions are out in the wild we're getting our first proper look at the game running on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Early impressions are, unfortunately, not great.

I've been playing the PS4 version of CD Projekt's sci-fi epic and can report poor performance, including low framerate and texture pop-in when the screen is busy. Even when it's not, there is on occasion a low-res blur to the visuals. And I've encountered multiple characters locked in a T-pose, frozen in place or glitched into an object. You can still talk to these NPCs, but their mouths do not move.

I've had a chat with Digital Foundry's Tom Morgan, who provided me with some screenshots of Cyberpunk 2077 running on a base PS4 alongside some analysis:

https://d2skuhm0vrry40.cloudfront.net/2020/articles/2020-12-10-10-58/8.jpg

According to Morgan, Cyberpunk 2077 on PS4 looks very blurry, running between 720p and 900p resolution, and the framerate for any driving around the big city areas is constantly at around 20. While some indoor battles run well at 30fps, they can drop to 25fps. Framerate drops are one thing, but there's also hitching - big hiccups in the action where a new object or texture needs to load in. This can make it a challenge to shoot or drive.

Running the game on PlayStation 5 via backwards compatibility does improve matters to a degree - certainly the loading is faster, and the framerate is unlocked to 60fps - but the glitches, including the T-posing NPCs, remain.

It turns out that Cyberpunk 2077 on PS5 does not have the "quality mode" that is available on Xbox Series X. That is to say, the game on PS5 runs in "performance mode" by default. On Xbox Series X you can switch between the two. Quality mode shoots for a high resolution, something approaching 4K and 30 frames per second, whereas performance mode aims for a smooth experience. It's worth noting the Xbox Series S does not have this toggle between modes, either.

Digital Foundry's scientific analysis is of course inbound, but what is clear at this early stage is there is a significant divide between the PC version of Cyberpunk 2077 and the console versions.

And even just hours after release, the Cyberpunk 2077 console memes have begun.

Clearly, CD Projekt has plenty of work to do getting the console version of Cyberpunk 2077 up to scratch. In a tweet, the developer said: "The journey has just begun and we are hard at work on the upcoming fixes and updates to the game."

Meanwhile, playing Cyberpunk 2077 on PC with a beefy rig feels like the best option - for now.

This game looks like it will forever be way too much for PS4 or XB1 to run at any kind of acceptable framerate. Control is still a mess on PS4 / XB1 and this has a far more complex game world.

:lol welp

Im still rocking the original PS4 and I have no incentive to buy a pro at this point. If I’m buying another console it’ll be a PS5 obviously.

PS5 should be able to play it 1080p60, maybe even 1440p60, if you choose performance mode (which will of course turn off raytracing).

Well, the Kentsfield 4C/4T quadcores I was referring to were $1000 when they came out in 2006 and they were pretty slow by around 2013-14 or so. But even the top 4C/8T quadcores of today like the Ryzen 3 3300 can't handle Cyberpunk at 60 fps.

Probably the longest run good gaming cpu of all time was the i7-2600k that came out in January 2011 and was basically good until now tem years later.

Honestly, considering CPUs used to last for 2 years or so, quad cores had a good run...

I think it's reasonable to use this as a bellweather for next gen gaming and with the consoles now sporting pretty strong Ryzen 7 3700 level 8C/16T cpus I feared 4C/8T was done for in running games at 60 fps the same way 4C/4T was a year or two ago. This is the first truly modern next gen game and not just a game written for the last gen consoles with better textures slapped on it for PC / next gen consoles.

Oh well, time to join the 30 fps peasant race until I decide to do a cpu upgrade. At least I'm not running this at 15 fps like PS4. :lol

The first patch is for game stability. It doesn't really fix the main issues the game is having right now.

[baseline bum]

Does it actually run 60 fps or it a jump around sometimes 40 fps sometimes 60 fps like for instance unlocked framerate modes usually were on PS4 Pro? I would think it has the cpu and gpu to be pretty steady 60 fps, especially with how cut down the game looks to be on console, but still wondering. Doubt I'll find a PS5 in stock any time in the next 4 months or so, so will prob just play it at 30 fps on PC after RDR2.

[TimDunkem]

Yeah bugs during quests sucks but it usually has had to do with AI pathfiding in my playthrough so far. Otherwise, still pretty damn great. Too bad it came out in this state for so many because it's really distracting from this awesome universe CDPR has fleshed out.

If your cpu is a quadcore you're going to have tons of drops into the 30s and framerates in the cities steadily in the 40s. This thing absolutely hammers cpus. From what I have seen you need around Ryzen 5 3600 or better to get 60 fps at medium settings or better. GTX 1660 Ti is supposed to be about the minimum gpu to get 60 fps in tougher sections of the game at medium settings. Since I'm running a 2014 4C/8T chip and a 1660 Super I'll probably try to play at high with a 30 fps lock.

Sony Reportedly Offering ‘Cyberpunk 2077’ Refunds For PS4 And PS5 After Gamers Cry Foul
By Erik Kain

You know things are bad when a CD Projekt RED game is getting review-bombed on Metacritic.

Cyberpunk 2077 is currently rocking a 2.7 on PS4 and a 3.5 on Xbox One, and this is a developer who is much-loved and greatly respected by gamers.

On PC, where the game is truly meant to be played and where it really does shine, a litany of bugs and other issues still has that number down at 6.7/10—quite a lot lower than the critic’s consensus of 90/100.

On base PS4, the game barely scrapes by at 720p and (at times) 15 frames-per-second. This is, honestly, entirely unacceptable. The game’s defenders will tell you that of course it runs poorly on such old hardware. But then why release it at all on such old hardware?

Part of the issue is that Sony and Microsoft require games released on PS4 or Xbox One to play on all versions of those consoles. You can’t just release a PS4 Pro game that doesn’t play on PS4 vanilla. Same for Xbox One X and Xbox One (and S).

The expectation is that a game released on PS4 will look and play better on PS4 Pro, where it could theoretically upscale to 4k or run at 60fps, but that same game will still look and play like a PS4 game on a base PS4. This is decidedly not the case with Cyberpunk 2077. Footage I’ve seen of the game playing on a base PS4 is ghastly, like something from early PS3 days (and that’s generous).

1336735235317370883

You may want to defend this if you’re an unrepentant CDPR fanboy, but you shouldn’t. It’s proof-positive that the company should simply have waited and not released the game on last-gen consoles at all (or delayed said release until the game actually worked on them). It’s atrocious at best, and a betrayal of gamer trust at worst.

Now gamers are reporting that Sony is offering up refunds on PS4 and PS5—something that is not by any means guaranteed on that platform. Sony has no set return policy, and it’s only under somewhat extreme circumstances that this sort of thing happens.

It still isn’t a guarantee, of course. You’ll want to delete the game from your system, make sure you haven’t played too much of it before asking for a refund, and—when speaking to a Sony rep—be polite and make your case calmly. Even then you might be denied a refund. Persistence pays off--sometimes.

You can also get refunds on Steam if you haven’t played more than two hours of the game and via Xbox where it sounds like refunds are fairly easy to come by.

It’s really a shame about the state of this game on console, but it really ought to have been a next-gen only game to begin with. Right now, it plays better on Stadia than on any console and, well, really should be played on a high-end gaming PC (or GeForce Now).

[Reck]

^Already said as much.

Give it for free or refund time. I don’t know why SONY has that policy, it needs to change.

It’s the reason why I don’t pre order games digitally at all. Shit, I don’t pre order games at all but it’s worse when the place you’re getting stuff from doesn’t do refunds.

Yeah I have only preordered three games: Horizon Zero Dawn and RDR2 because they got nothing but glowing early reviews and Persona 5 Royal because I knew the game was already great in Japan.

[ElNono]

It's just disgraceful and deceptive. This was the PS4 trailer from E3 last year:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAA405YVP64

They also over-relied on dynamic resolution. You can use it to go from 1440p or even 1080p to 4k relatively well, but once you drop below 1080p, it gets too blurry.

And for some reason the game appears to be a CPU hog. Base PS4s really struggle with that.

You don't think maybe it's the NPC count? I remember that being a huge problem with AC Unity, though Unity had way more NPC. Still, Cyberpunk has a lot. When the game kills 4C/8T desktop cpus you know it was going to absolutely rape the crap cpus in the last gen consoles.

[NASpurs]

I was getting 30 FPS (never below) on 1080P Ultra and 45-50 on High... and that’s all I wanted to know and deleted the game. :lol

Could be but not the AI though, there's something with the graphics, because I don't see as many characters in the city here as they showed on the demo. Graphics scale with the CPU power, maybe they're doing skinning on the CPU or something stupid like that.

They also fucked up the temporal reprojection, I can see grainy artifacts (like ghosting) when certain models move, especially against light. That's typical of not calculating motion vectors right.

I mean, after Ghost of Tsushima and TLOU2, there's no way they can't ship anything better looking. And I know at least TLOU2 used motion matching for character animations which is more expensive than what these guys are using, so I don't know where they're burning cycles here.

So, what the fuck was the point of that opening? I started as Corp V, and I thought it would play a bigger role in the plot, but apparently not. What a letdown. I would rather it have been done like Mass Effect, where there's a paragraph on Sheperd's origins.

Right now a 980 probably won't be able to pull off 1080p30 at high. Devs were full of shit calling the GTX 1060 the recommended spec for 1080p high. Definitely wait for a patch. I know I will with the hope that my 4C/8T Haswell Xeon will have a chance running it without a bunch of stutter, as I'm not too excited at the thought of buying a new cpu + board + DDR4 right before DDR5 platforms are coming.

[ElNono]

Well, sure, but the problem with this game is that even the cinematics are done realtime with the game engine, so the cinematics themselves don't look anything like what was shown (for PS4 at least)... lol

Nono seems to think it's ok on PS5. But PS5 running a PS4 Pro game at 60 fps is hardly impressive given the ridiculous difference in power between a PS5 and a PS4. For instance, PS5 uses something that would have been considered a relatively highend PC gaming cpu until a few months ago, not absolute top of the line, but not too far below it either, and it's still an upper midrange gaming cpu. While PS4 Pro uses a crap mobile cpu from 2013. PC gaming cpus from 2013 are pretty garbage in 2020, even the higher end shit like the i7-3770k ($300) and the i7-4930k ($600) can struggle to hit 60 fps in some games nowadays. And the PS4 / PS4 Pro cpu that came out in 2013 was complete dogshit compared to those 2013 PC cpus.

[ElNono]

Sony is giving full refunds for the game if you bought it on the PSN Store and has delisted the game there. If you already own the game, you get to keep it and get the patches.

I finished the game 2 days ago on my PS5, and it was good, but can be a lot better. Looks like there’s multiple endings too, and a shit ton of side quests that are not small by any means, so I’ll probably replay it once I’m back from vacay.

The game did crash every couple of hours though, smells like a memory leak.

This title looks rushed. It’s a big game, and I suppose they were super aggressive with deadlines, but honestly we wouldn’t ship such a high profile title in that state, tbh

I think the huge difference on the PS5 running this game is the streaming. Obviously they’re not using PS5 APIs, which means they can make it even faster and nicer looking on PS5, but just having the SSD there to stream in high LOD models and textures quickly enough is probably the difference maker. It’s hard to explain how much faster the SSD on a PS5 is compared to the PS4 HDD. It maxes out at 5.5GB/sec (actual speed for uncompressed assets, faster if compressed with the hardware compressor), which is beastly even by PC standards.

Digital Foundry was saying the same about the texture loading. I thought you said the cpu was an enormous problem though too, which makes sense since 4C/8T gaming cpus run in the 30s and 40s even playing off ssd.

I mentioned the CPUs because the benchmarks I’ve seen worked a lot faster on more than 8+ cores. That means they’re CPU bound for some reason, though it’s not entirely clear to me why. For some reason that has an incidence in render time, which it means it can’t be the AI (unless that’s slowing down rendering, which would be a stupid decision).

This shit should've been delayed indefinitely. Either that, or release on PC only until a proper next gen console version could be released.

The last delay was supposedly because it wasn’t running well in consoles, so I don’t have any idea what they did with that time. I guess they just quit.

Probably upped the framerate from 15 to 20 in that time. Maybe they can rerelease once they can hit 25 fps without N64 level graphics.

Probably shouldn't have released yet on PC either when the 1080p high recommended spec struggles to even hit 30 fps at 1080p high.

Best Buy allowing refunds on physical copies.

Wonder if they'll end up settling on a fraction of the purchase price for it. I joined the class action lawsuit against Nvidia in 2015 for them misrepresenting the specs of the GTX 970 (it was a 4GB card but only 3.5GB was fast RAM, the other 0.5GB was ridiculously slow) and got $30 back. I think I got $7 from a price fixing class action lawsuit around 2007 or 2008 for some RAM I bought in 2002 and was wondering what the fuck some law firm I had never heard of would be sending me a check for $7 for. :lol

[baseline bum]

If your save file gets above 8MB it fucking corrupts. :lmao

In repsonse CD Projekt Red says to not loot and craft as much. In a fucking open world RPG? :rollin

Did they design this game to save to a PS2 Memory Card or some shit? This is bar none the worst release I have ever seen for an anticipated game.

[Xevious]

What sucks is I'd really like to play it some day. Even if all the bugs get fixed, this will never be a $60 purchase for me. It has become a bargain bin purchase at most.

No way they'd put such a shit game that would embarrass their system so much on PS Plus. Game looks like it has enormous work to be done just to be even playable on either of the last gen consoles.

A Warning About A ‘Cyberpunk 2077’ Patch 1.1 Game-Breaking Bug


Well, Cyberpunk 2077’s new 1.1 patch was meant to fix a lot of stuff within the game, working on overall stability and quest-breaking bugs. But as it happens, it has introduced a new game-breaking bug that occurs in a main questline that is tough to avoid, and it can at least temporarily ruin your save.

Here’s what’s going on.

When Takamura calls you for the Down on the Street mission, you’ll get stuck there, and he won’t say anything, with the mission not being able to continue.

Reportedly, reloading saves does not fix this either, and even if you reload an older save, if you get back to this point, it will still happen. This effectively halts all progress in the game.

CDPR support has come up with what they say is a temporary fix/workaround for this issue, before it’s actually fixed in full. Here are the steps for that:

1. Load an older save file before Takamura and V leave Wakako’s office.

2. V must finish the conversation with Takamura outside the office right away.

3. Right after the conversation and updated quest progression, skip 23 hours.

Of course, this process requires potential lost progress depending on how far you have to go back to get to that old save. And unless you have been manual saving, your Autosaves and Quicksaves may be used up, and you might not even be able to get to that point.

This is going to need to be a top priority hotfix for CDPR, as if you cannot do the above steps (or if they don’t work) you simply cannot progress in the game any further. It’s not uncommon for new bugs to be introduced in patches meant to fix others, but this is a very big one, and hopefully it’s able to be fixed soon.

In general, reception to this 1.1 patch, which itself feels like more of a hotfix than a full title update, has been mostly chilly. CDPR did caution that a bigger patch was coming next month, and this one would be smaller, but it feels like even past hotfixes did more to stabilize and improve the game than this one, and reports are somewhat mixed on what this actually did to improve the game on many platforms, especially older consoles. And if you hit this bug well, obviously it made things quite a bit worse.

Check back on this post where I will update it if a fix comes in for this Takamura issue. Until then, maybe uh, keep holding off playing, if you’re not past that point yet.
