Re: Cyberpunk 2077

Has anyone else struggled with getting through the prologue? Not in terms of difficulty, just in terms of finding motivation to stick it out.



The linear structure of the prologue is expected, but the complete lack of ability to have a say in how things progress to that pre-determined path irks me probably more than it should. I also just find the entire prologue unnecessarily bloated.



Super early game spoilers for Corpo lifepath

Spoiler

Some examples of what I mean for the linear structure:



Your first task is to go talk to your boss, and he gives you a data chip hinting that he wants you to assassinate his boss. The only dialogue "option" you have is to basically try and back out of it.



Then you go meet a friend at a bar, and some corporate thugs come by to take the data chip from you. Again your only dialog "option" is to basically roll over and let them push you around.



Then there is just the fact that the prologue feels too long:

Go see boss

Go see friend at bar

Cutscene with tone that was odd for the setting

Short starter mission to get your feet wet

Long ride as the passenger, including a very brief street shootout

Go to your apartment

Go back to your friend in the garage

...and I assume one final starter mission



An hour into the game I feel like I haven't had a single decision for how I want my character to be, and the gameplay has mostly just been running from point to point.

I chose the nomad lifepath But that mission you mentioned at the end I broke out of halfway through and freeroamed for the next 6 hours.

Really once you go to sleep The world opens up but I wouldn't call the rest of prologue even though they are essentially tutorial missions still. Even on that drive home as a passenger you're already starting to get side job requests.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077

It has helped a lot.

Great, great hotfix.

A few more of these and this game will be just fine.

Great to hear!

I was worried I’m screwed with a PS4 Pro.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077

Soo unbelievably stoked on this patch. Might be the one that makes this a gem lol. It's a hefty patch at 18 gigs. Size of smaller games.

Also a massive improvement on PC. Can now turn on all raytracing options and have constantly over 60fps with the 2nd dsll level.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077

With all these updates and fixes those of us waiting for the next-gen upgrade are in for something special. Depending on when that drops maybe we'll even luck out and have some DLC content ready.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077

Great to hear about a big bug fixing patch already.

Re-ordered the game.....I waited so damn long.

Diving in next week.

PS4 Pro.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077

This is the type of game that I will probably play on and off for the next few years. I see all the negative reactions on Reddit, but I dig the game, warts and all.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077

The gunplay in this game is actually very very good. I'm surprised.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077

Overall, I'm loving the experience so far, however, there's one area that I guess I'd have to say I'm disappointed in.

There seem to be A LOT of NPC's that stand around like mannequins and don't even engage in conversation with one another. Take the Afterlife for example, theres some groups both inside and outside that are just standing in groups of 2-4 and just staring mindlessly at one another. The other thing is the density of the city. I know PC has a slider for this and I'm genuinely considering upgrading my PC to play this game. There's not enough people or cars.

I'm playing on the PlayStation 5 so I'm sure the next gen upgrade will help tremendously. At least I hope. However, as it stands right now there are times when I feel like I'm playing Grand Theft Auto IV on the PS3. Either way, I've waited seven years for this game and, for the most part, it is meeting expectations. But seeing some of the PC screenshots make me want to pull the trigger on a new rig and just be done with it.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077

I've honestly had more problems with Steam than I have the actual game so far. On release night the small patch that would unlock the preload for actual play wouldn't download and gave me disc write errors, and I eventually had to redownload the ENTIRE game again (now that it was a full, unlocked game I wouldn't have the preload problem). I got to play some yesterday once that finished, but now the next patch didn't install correctly and after I verified the files it needs to download about 25 GB of the game again - 4 hours or so on my connection.

To be fair I feel like this is an issue with Steam rather than the game itself, but it's still frustrating either way.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077

Turned off or lowered depth of field, film grain, chromatic abberation and DLSS from performance to quality.... and really happy with how the game looks now. Going to continue to tinker.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077

Bro i hated that mission get your gun I’m thinking it was just me it took me a minute to figure out what to do on that. Is that mission glitch or what

On PC it has been running great for me, but I'm 8700K and 3080 I have noticed some odd design decisions though and some confusing missions (Get your Gun, anyone).

One of the oddest is that they don't have Toggle for ADS (Aim down Sights) on PC. This has basically become a staple on the PC for every game, and for that reason alone, I had to go with the controller for now.

Stuff like that after 8 years of development is odd.
