i love the new police system, that brings back really fucking fun memories of GTA police chases, i just hope the controller support when playing this game and firing is as snappy as it was in older GTA titles such as liberty city, that game was so fucking fun when dealing with the police in a fast car, going from driving forward to driving backward and shooting the police and then flipping back to driving forward only to do the same thing again and again, it was almost akin to the fast and furious movies while playing in game. this seems like it's going to function a fuck ton better though.

@roenie I personally just didn't bother with the game. I've played and loved games with technical issues (Pokemon Violet comes to mind) but at least they were feature complete and not utterly busted out the wazoo with glitches, at least in my experience. Cyberpunk 2077 on the other hand was infested with gamebreaking stuff and updates never were a real solution to it. Now not only is it ACTUALLY good now... it even overhauls things that also add stuff from the anime series. So with that said, I'm glad I waited personally, now I feel comfortable enough to give this game a try once I finish my backlog n list of new games I wanna grab.

I played 1.7 (?) a year ago. Blown away and completely immersed even on a GTX 1660 Super at 1440p, one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. Only experienced a few completely benign glitches, which I can easily explain away in head cannon as coming from my cyberwear. I can't wait to start a new playthrough tomorrow night on my newer 3060. Sure, no DLSS 3.x but I know this is still going to be insane.

[@eltreum1]

Since patch 1.6 we have had clothing transmog with the outfit panel. Any clothing you loot or buy is auto added to your wardrobe library so your clothing could look like anything. I guess not everyone realized that change because I have heard that complaint about clothing armor a few times. The transmog was a nice QOL fix but moving armor to Cyberware we'll see how it plays out I guess. The lighting rework looks great.

Anybody else hate how they redid the crafting system? You can't buy components anymore which makes crafting almost impossible at tier 4 and 5 because not as many tier 4 weapons spawn now.

All this is a gimmick to market and sell Nvidia cards, and manipulate to people to buy the high end ones just play this game with Path tracing. But you really just gotta use your eyes to see that Cyberpunk 2077 is not even graphically the best looking game right now. The most complex lighting system maybe. But visually, others like Red Dead 2 or Horizon Forbidden West still look better in many ways.

[@METALLIFY16]

​@@ruok-l5tLmao you are actually delusional. Either a console fanboy or an AMD fanboy, but nevertheless delusional. God forbid that a game company wants to make their game look its best, but instead you think its a marketing gimmick. And while yes RDR2 is a good looking game, having played it on PC recently again its definitely showing it's age. It doesn't look anywhere close to as good as Cyberpunk. Youve got your hater shades on bro, the copium is real

[@ruok-l5t]

​@@METALLIFY16 Delusional how? Are you blind or haven't you played that many games? This isn't hard to see. Nvidia partnered with CDPR to sell cards. They market Path Tracing and DLSS so hard while fully knowing the only cards that can even run PT well enough are 4080s and 4090s. This is what you call "Feature creep". They're adding excessive features so quickly with poor optimization, tanking performances and manipulate people that their 3000 series cards are already outdated and redundant. Cyberpunk2077 right now have the Nvidia's most complex lighting system with Path Tracing. But the game uses it just for the sake of using it rather than artistically. When you combine path tracing with the average visual fidelity of Cyberpunk, such as the poor low res textures and shading, low poly objects, poor post processing effects, poor physics and simulation - Then there's a reason why Cyberpunk 2077 still looks like a fake theme park full of toys. You just gotta watch Cyberpunk 2077 side by side with other games. Look at games like Horizon, God of War, Last of Us 2, Watch Dogs Legion, SpiderMan, Dead Space Remake, Demon Souls remake etc. These games rivals if not better looking than Cyberpunk in so many aspects. Red Dead 2 have weather and simulation systems like clouds. rain, storm, snow, dirt and mud that far outclass Cyberpunk. Heck you can go watch Assassin Creed Unity from 2014 and put it side by side with Cyberpunk, you'll see AC Unity still rivals it easily. If you can't see any of this, your eyes are clearly broken.

[@JohnJohn-pm9wq]

@@ruok-l5t I think it comes down to preference but technically speaking RDR2 is a beautiful game because of the game world design feels so organic and natural and asset placement added the advantage of amazing physics and interactivity but you should watch digital foundry break it down technically because the engine they have used is old and the game though looks better than 90% of the games today. The strength of RDR2 is in the details and other games cannot match RDR2 in details because 2000 devs worked on the game. Visually it shows it's age though. RDR2 is also very heavily dependent on it's lighting. Did you observe how awful the game looks early morning when there is no sun or moon light?

[@harrypike731]

@@ruok-l5t 100%. It only looks this good on a top-of-the-range PC, which means that at base level its not the best looking game...its the PC enabling that. RDR2 on my PS5 looks just as good, if not better, than CP77 on my PS5. And runs more smoothly too.

I’m 100% serious when I say that I intend no shade towards those who enjoy this game. That said, my issue with games like this and No Man’s Sky is that it sets a troubling precedent for the future of gaming. It tells us that it’s ok for the studio execs to outright lie to our faces and release an unplayable product that is nothing like how it was advertised. As long as they improve on it then we’re just supposed to forget about how we were duped. That’s why I’ll never play this game, but if others enjoy it and have fun with it, more power to you.

This honestly just makes the initial release even more baffling. No Man's Sky was Sony pushing the small dev team. But CDPR is big.

[@janablom823]

The game feels practically the same or worse than when i played the Edgerunners update. Police chases are both annoying, and laughably easy to escape. The only way to deal with them is to not fight them at all, as they will infinitely reappear faster than you can kill them. Cyberware now has to be unlocked by finding them randomly generated in select lockers around the world, which means after 20 hours of searching i still can't get the Sandevistan i want. A large critique i had of the Edgerunners update was how squishy the player character was. It has gone way too far in the other direction. Getting 100% mitigation chance is completely trivial, and will make you essentially immortal combined with how plentiful armor is, and how quickly health items recharge. The only threatening enemies continue to be the ones that knock you down and lock you in an 8 second long cutscene. Using your phone in an elevator will still consistently clip you through it and soft lock you. Cars will blink in and out of existence in a split second while driving, making me fell like I'm getting cyber psychosis IRL. Enemies will magically zero in on your location after spotting a dead body despite never having seen you. Quick melee with a handgun will permanently stun lock almost any enemy in the game, including most bosses. Silverhand will show up in certain gigs and talk to you as if you're buddies even if you never even started the main quest after the heist. NPCs will clip through cars to find cover, companion drivers are on a scripted route and will mercilessly tear through anything in their path without impediment, yet the routes are still so poorly made they often drive through solid terrain. Some perks will inexplicably break others completely, and nothing in the entire intelligence tree with worth engaging with. Using a ripperdoc and skipping the wakeup cutscene often messes up something with the games graphics and causes everything to be shrouded in a thick ugly orange fog Like I'm playing fallout and the nukes just dropped. Every new feature or improvement of this version has been bundled with some new issue i didn't have previously. This game is still mediocre at best.

Netrunner is screwed though, the attacks at a maxed out netrunner character with the best cyberware is useless now since the attacks just trigger everyone. “Contagion” had the ability to spread like wildfire when carefully upgraded but now it does useless damage. It’s fun hacking cars and such, but any stealth hacker character is just gone. Instead, it seems they focused on everything being more run in and shoot em up. Cool for those builds but I miss the Neuromancer build in which you can hack yourself into a base and do everything as a hacker. It’s sad really… my character I built up is useless now.

[@Bot101101]

With the development and marketing costs they had it seems postponing was off the table. It sucks that CDPR can't be 100% transparent about their decisions without getting sued but I can assure you there have been people who have had "slight" stress and some sleepless nights. 😄 All eggs in one basket, massive development costs, turns out the last-gen consoles can't even run the game, the next generation is not properly out yet and so on. Pretty fucked up situation to find yourself in. Don't get me wrong - I'm still mad at CDPR but I think it always important to understand the viewpoint of the other side as well. If Cyberpunk 2077 failed to sell for one reason or another the future of the entire company could have been compromised. Companies such as Valve and Rockstar Games can work on expensive projects almost indefinitely because they have continuous sources of massive revenue. Valve through Steam and Rockstar through GTA Online.
