Gaming Cyberpunk 2077 (PC, PS4/5, Xbox One)

I’ve recently gone back in and cleaned up my first save. Wanted to get the platinum but couldn’t really manage it as I’d missed some things. Trying really hard to wait for the PS5 update to do playthrough two. Deffo gearing up for a melee only build next time. I still stand by it’s a brilliant game.

I've just seen you can play it in VR. Might tempt me back to retry...
 
Optimized :lol: it'll still be a shit show.

It'll be OK on PS5 / Series X as the PC version has run well on higher end PC's for a while now and they'll be using that version for the "next gen update". The series S could be pretty bad still though I reckon.
 
I've just reinstalled it because I never refunded, nothing to do with this patch. On a high end PC.

Yeah. No.

The fact they outright told us that the PC version is what they wanted, and that's the benchmark should give you all a clue to how corporate and bad they are...
 
I still believe it can be good.
It could be, but the resources required to get it to that level may be too much for CDPR to commit. Their best bet is to fix everything and also provide a DLC on top of that which gets the hype train going again and it's whether they'll commit to something like that.
 
I'm still going to play this on PC at some point, but I would've expected some more fundamental improvements by now. I can only hope the modding community have worked their magic on this game.
 
It looks hardly any different in gameplay videos. NPC's still suck, quests are still lacking imagination and variety, the city is lifeless and content is still lacking. Was expecting so much more than just some more bug fixes and visual polish.

It still has the basic menu bugs it always had.

It's a shame, it really is, but as I've said over and over...it'll never be the game they promised, it'll never be fixed and it certainly will never get the dlc that magically changes any of that.

Oh, and also, don't get hopes up for the Witcher 3 "upgrade" being worth it either. They are burned out and nobody doing it gives a shit about it any more. It's fecking sad what they've become, but that's money for you.
 
Played few hours on PS5 ( 5 hour demo) and Ray tracing mode is solid 30fps and looks quite high resolution. Everything looks better but ray tracing is quite low res or i am not able to see that much difference from screen space reflection. But it’s finally playable at decent setting on PS5. Decent update

They’re like the discount fantasy version of R* at this point: outdated/poor/janky controls and combat and unimaginative missions that don’t leave space for the player to be creative in clearing the objectives.

Without those specific knocks, RDR2 would’ve been like the greatest game of all time. And I felt that same way going through Cyberpunk (though hand-on-heart it isn’t that bad of a game in a vacuum).
 
It’s a good idea offering the free trial as a way to try and win back some consumer trust and also to get afew more playing it. I think there will be afew surprised by how much they enjoy it once they get 5 hours in.

That’s clearly what they’re counting on, I’m going to go into it with an open mind. The poor AI seems like something they might not have fixed though?

They haven't. They haven't "fixed" any of it actually, just made the bigger issues somewhat bearable.

On controller, and with bottom level expectations going in is the way forward. The game is still a mess, but at least that way you'll find some charm and possibly even like it in plenty of ways. But it'll also depress you seeing what could and should have been.

Nope I very much doubt they will ever fix that. Just go into it expecting a Bethesda game and you’ll probably enjoy it. ( if you enjoy those games!)
 
Remember when we were all excited about giant floppy willies? Those were the days. :(
 
Looks like a decent update. Will wait for any issues that crop up from this update to be patched and then might actually play through it.
 
What do they say?

We'll have to see how it plays out, but AI, NPC reactions and driving plus a load of fixes to the fighting mechanics which were my biggest issues.. Plus they've added apartments to buy and more character customisation. It's a huge patch though so will need a few fixes I suspect. I reckon I'll give it another play through in a couple of months.

Yep think I might wait a little longer considering I’ve completed it once already. This is a huge month for gaming so I’ll just play it down the line.
 
Yeah, the game and the machine.

Don't get me wrong, it's a decent piece of kit, but really not necessary right now. This gen has nothing to show for it so far, nothing that sets it aside.

Hopefully it will come, but right now you aren't missing anything mate. You really aren't.
That’s a weird take. I mean it can play games at 4k or 60fps or in some cases both which is way more than a PS4 can do, and dual sense is nice. At £449 it is an absolute bargain upgrade considering the cost of gaming pc’s right now. Is someone a bit grumpy tonight?

and yes cyberpunk is meh and no amount of patches will change it.
 
Kinda a bad idea to release this during the week of one of the biggest PS exclusives coming out right now.

The game isn't highly rated so I don't see how it can be overrated. I'm hopeful it'll be a great experience when I do play it, so let's see.

As for Playstation 5, I know I'm not missing much because the first 2 years of a console generation tend to be slow. But it will without be my preferred gaming platform, as I couldn't be bothered with PC gaming /Xbox/Nintentdo and Sony crushed it this past console generation. Their big exclusives seem to have started off well with HFW. GoW to come later this year. I'm hoping to go through this PS5 era the same way as I did the PS4 one, - late and with a backlog of gret content to go through.
