I was hyped for this game, but it is pretty poor on base PS4, I know the tech is old about eight years, but this game was surely made for PS4/XboxOne originally, I'm very disappointed.

DF said it could be patched and optimized, but how long is this going to take, by the time it's done PS5/XboxS will be easy to buy no doubt.

It was originally made for PC they are PC devs.

 

[Mato]

you're thinking of it the wrong way it's not smaller Grand theft Auto it's bigger Deus ex

That's changes nothing? I wasn't thinking of GTA and I did notice the similarities to Dues Ex myself.

I don't know for me perspective changes everything. If I go see Schindler's list hoping to get a good laugh out of it it's not really the film's fault if I come out disappointed.

...so it's headphones for me instead of home theater.

I've noticed playing on regular tv speakers that a lot of the atmospheric background score playing in the background gets lost so I've mostly playing with headphones.

 

[John2290]

I just wanna complain about one thing, since I don't have any gaming friends to get this shit off my chest anymore and I need to shout it into oblivion.

The textures look like No mans Sky and dreams in certain lighting. I hate that textures Quality, do anything but that. Have ailsing, have lower resolution, have less FPS but ... not that shite. I mean, the Outer world did the same but that was a budget game.

Anyway, game is still absolutely amazing as was marketed, aside from the graphical shite that starts to show after playing for a while on PRO on the bugs, it's phenomenal. It's exactly what I wanted. Man, just to have a game take back on the Codec system from the early MGS games is great and an open world game at that. Wow.

The only time I get performance hitches is when driving through a densely populated area. Itll drop from 70 to mid 40's, it's really jarring.

This is on a 3090 and a i79700k. Hopefully a patch will optimize it but who knows when that'll be.

But I'm loving the game. I'm not particularly disappointed either. But I would have liked to at least see more shops and businesses being open to the player.

I mean yeah I would too I'd like for there to be more love interest more endings more dialogue choices I mean I'll always want more. It's why video games are an ever evolving medium unlike say film which peaked in the '80s.

 

[Astorian]

The freezing for a few seconds while driving is fucking annoying, happened multiple times today.

Fun thing, driving into small trees or cactus destroys them.

Most concrete edges are chippable.

You can follow Pam back to her room, and watch her sleep between a needle and a dildo.

Learning how to Tokyo Drift real nice in my big ol' hoopdee. Wheeling this ugly shit all over town to Night FM

I noticed Metacritic actually is preventing User Reviews out of the gate - I didn't know they could gate reviews that way (I don't object considering how big Cyberpunk is, I just wonder how CDPR managed that, since I wasn't aware of any other game that allowed that).

Guess I'll check back at noon today!

I'm pretty sure MC made an announcement not long ago that from now on there was going to be something like a week or 2 week stand down from user reviews because of the trolls and Last of Us 2.

 

[artsi]

Looks like a new patch just hit on Steam, 3.5GB.

Time to take a break to download it, I've played 20 hours since launch.

 

[Ultimadrago]

A USPS delay later, my copy finally came in. I look forward to venturing in Night City alongside everyone!

 

[Isendurl]

I think people are forgetting how much The Witcher 3 improved over time. There were some pretty horrendous oversights in that game that were rectified in later patched and DLCs.
Also I think there will be a lot of great modes that will also improve this game massively.
I cannot play Witcher 3 without no level requirements mod for example. I do not understand why is CDPR insisting on level gating loot, cannot wait for similar mod for Cyberpunk.

[GaviotaGrande]

Just applied a 583M patch on PC.

Thanks fam, downloading now.

 

[Luipadre]

It probably looks the same on PS5 still

 

[Madflavor]

that's your problem. the PC recommends SSD for PC. HDD isn't good enough.

Yeah I figured. Weird it was running fine the first two nights. I'm defragging my HDD now, and also updating with the latest patch. Hopefully that'll improve things enough. If not, guess I'll have no choice but to go buy an SSD.

 

[Every Flamingo]

Obviously it was always been a given with CDPR, but it's good to see them getting patches out so soon.

 

[hollams]

I was just messing with some video settings before the update and after the update I am maybe getting 3-5 fps more than before on my 3090.

 

[R6Rider]

Just got past the prologue. 3 crashes so far, and plenty of bugs. Most bugs haven't been anything major.

Characters missing legs, Jackie walking through a wall, cars clipping and glitching out, bodies disappearing, etc....stuff like that.

Only "major" bug was during a mission where it wouldn't activate the next phase so I had to quit to menu and restart from checkpoint. Even then it wasn't too bad. After my last crash, it did reset ALL of my settings in the game though. Nothing more than an annoyance, but hoping it doesn't happen again.

Other thoughts:
-Driving doesn't feel too bad and I prefer it in first person, but switch between occasionally.
-Enemy AI is pretty bad, and usually just stands around getting shot.
-Picking up items can be a bit wonky and unresponsive.
-The kid NPCs look...odd. And they repeat the EXACT same model way too often.
-Music variety and instrumental themes have been great.
-Loot can be a bit messy. Would have preferred less filler loot.
-Clothing items for loot should have been done like Elder Scrolls or Fallout. The outfit they wear should be the outfit you loot from them.
-The hacking tutorial is messy and left me more confused than anything.
-I didn't mind the 3 BD sequences I've done so far. I'm hoping there are more "detective" style quests that use them.

Any word on the 1.04 patch's size on the PS4?

 

[NathanDiego]

Oh boy, reddit is destroying the game

 

[Luipadre]

Any word on the 1.04 patch's size on the PS4?

I heard its 580mb on PC and 18gb on console Not sure if its true but it wont surprise me

 

[Hestar69]

Anyone playing on ps4 hating the controls? like holy shit, if feels so off. It's ruining the game for me so far.

Try turning off all the advance control options like Turn x. I can share my settings using controller soon.

PS4 has been confirmed 18GB for patch.

 

[MastAndo]

Yeah, I was just on there, and it's a shitshow. Plenty of the complaints are valid, but it sounds like they all had their expectations sky high and are now trying to one up each other in expressing their disappointment.

aiming is weird for me. feels floaty. sometimes it'll move really slow too, it's like auto aim is so aggresive

Its just buggy, the whole fucking console settings are a bugfest. deadzone slider is bugged, ADS sens is bugged, HDR is broken. They only QA tested this shit on PC i swear

 

[Rex_DX]

Fin-a-lly installed ( took a day and a half).
First run I always go with "default good guy", so I'm sticking with Nomad. Figured he'd best play with gunslinger + tech build ( self reliant, live on their own in the wastes), but I think I'll go with Cool+Intelligence for stats, Sniper Rifles+Hacking for skills/Perks. Kind of seems a lot of missions would require/reward more stealth approach ( so I don't want to miss any content).
Few questions, choombas:
- Do any of higher tier/level weapons have stat requirements ( like shotguns with high body stat)
- How "tight" is character progression? Do you really need to specialize in two or three stats/skills/Perk trees or it's more like Skyrim ( with enough playtime you can be good at everything). I've read some previews mentioning it's very slow with leveling system ( which I like in rpgs)
- Anyone using nanowire? Seems it's sort of melee weapon for hackers. Does it require any stats/perks?
- Advice on economy, what to spend money on?Should I get lower tier cyberware first or wait for a while to buy something better? Anyone here playing with high end/game cyberware?

I can't answer all of this, but the progression is extremely "tight" to use your word. Its definitely going to be damn hard, if not impossible, to max stuff out unless you specialize. The game seems to be very stingy with the 'ol XP. The game's economy seems pretty much broken, too. Until they rebalance it I have to realize I just will never afford some of the vehicles.

 

[IbizaPocholo]

 

[Rex_DX]

Do we know what the 1.4GB update Steam just pushed on me is about?

 

[Luipadre]

Any visible change on PS5 after the update?

 

[NathanDiego]

A lot of people set expectations sky high for this game, but as you can see there is a lot of valid complaints of basic stuff and bad game design.

 

[IgnotumCL]

I love this car (for the moment)

 

[Bboy AJ]

Patch is up on GOG. 585 MB.

[Fuz]

Reading things around that I really don't like. The game sounds like it is in a really sorry state.

They aremaking a big pyre with all the goodwill gained with the Witcher trilogy.

It's sad.

AAA, not even once.

 

[Decontamination Silo]

1.4GB Patch downloading on Steam. Got my first crash and when I got back to desktop it started downloading the patch. Nice. ~13 hours in.

 

[Kagey K]

Yes I highly recommend going through story until that point... honestly incredible experience after the main Cyberpunk 2077 title card drops. but don't rush it.

Yeah the title card is where the game really starts. I haven’t done any of the main missions since, just been doing a ton of side stuff.

 

[BEATORICHEEEEEE]

Uhh... my Cyberpunk 2077 folder just randomly doubled in size:

I have a new folder called "!Temp" that's like the size of the game, it's like I have the game installed twice:

Anyone know why that is? Can I delete that Temp folder?

Edit: Oh there's an update, maybe that's why

 

[TrainedRage]

Game crashed when the patch hit. Glad to see them working hard to optimize. I have only had a few glitches but god damn this game is good.

 

[eyesabitdull]

Anyones game not launching after the patch?

Literally won't start for me now after the hotfix.

 

[Allnamestakenlol]

Man, this is pretty close to what I've always wanted for a big-production Deus Ex game. It's crazy how far they took all this. I wasn't expecting a lot of the stuff they let you do, like picking up bodies and dumping them in bins.

Ehh, to me it just sounds like a bunch of console players playing last gen versions expecting magic.

Runs great on a decent PC.
