I think there was some katana combat in the gangs video, iirc.

My plan is just to spam Aard all over the place.

That sounds gross.

I was seeing some CB posters. They are cool:

Look what’s turned up. Not sure if I should read it now or with the game in November.

Even though I didn’t connect whole-heartedly with The Witcher 3 (or 2, or 1), the quality of those games plus the theme/setting for this one makes it appealing. I love cyberpunk type stuff more than Ye Olde Gothicke Fantasy (though to be fair The Witcher stuff has a nice take on the genre).

Is this the “official official” game guide? I thoroughly enjoyed both my Skyrim and RDR2 game guides. I never really buy them except for “prestige” games, which I think Cyberpunk will fall into.

I got really excited there for a bit - I love me a good strategy guide and have a collection of hard cover guides (and a few older ones) from years of gaming on my bookshelf. Saw this was a Piggyback guide, those are usually very, very well done, and then saw something else that shocked me to my old-ass core.

I like game guides, but I am so weak. When I have one of those, the second I get the slightest bit puzzled, I’m breaking out the guide and figuring out what I need to do. And then I get interested in some other text on the facing page, so I start reading that and before I know it, I’ve spoiled great big swaths of the game.

I’m not falling for that again!

Same with me. My enthusiasm for the Witcher series was the highest with 1 then gradually declined with each subsequent release; which is probably the opposite of most people. I might go back and try and finish 3 at some point.

I think I got somewhere into Act 2 and lost all motivation. I think the open world busyness made me stop caring and I just wondered why I wasn’t playing Pillars of Eternity. I could see the quality of the craftsmanship, but was struggling to connect.

If I pick up 2077 I hope it clicks with me better.

A lot has happened since then.

Lots of things on fire, etc. It’s easy to forget.


/checks previous screenshots… yep, I think this is a new one

<captainobvious

This game looks flipping amazing </captainobvious

Meh. If you look at the last screenshot, the white wall in the middle top looks kinda flat and unreal. Could have been better.

So will my 10-year-old core i7 - 930, with 12G RAM and a GTX 980, be enough? When I compare the i7 930 to the recommended processor, which is only 8 years old, mine seems generally less worthy, except mine supports more threads and has a bigger cache.

For what it’s worth, my aging CPU runs MSFS just fine. The only thing I’ve upgraded over the past decade has been the video card – twice – plus a new SSD drive on which I put Win10 and MSFS. I sorta feel like I’m living on borrowed time, but to build or buy the PC I want will cost $3000…

Funny.

Looks better than the plastic picture at least, and more worn.

Sorry, I was just trying a small humorous dig - no harm intended.
