The Johnny Silverhand mission had the best music.

Okay, I did have it already. False alarm. Thanks for the help.

Also, it’s under the Breach Protocol tab, not hacking, you absolute ignoramus.

I thought breach was hacking.

I was hired for my sweet jacket, not my brains.

Well the other tab is called quickhacking. Maybe it’s slow hacking.

Overpowered but satisfying way to clear a combat encounter

Use Ping on an enemy to locate every person in the area, then use charged tech sniper rifle headshots to pierce all the walls and floors to take them out one by one.

It trivializes the encounter but you make up for it by listening to the confused screams of the gang members as you live out your Eraser fantasy.

Alternatively, just light them on fire with an SMG like you’re playing Borderlands.

This game is one big combination of a bunch of other games.

Have the “skip conversation” button be the same as the “crouch” button along with dynamic conversations isn’t the best idea.

I’ve missed out on 3-4 things now because I just trying to fucking duck.

E - 5-6 now. JFC.

With the 1.04 patch not only is the FPS drop over time fixed, but my GPU is now >90% utilized, running at the full 320-ish watts, and framerates are stable even outdoors. The day 2 patch did a tremendous amount of good.

Hope it helps my Kid’s PS4.

Huh, I realized that neither OG V (male or female) used in all the promotional material are an optional preset on character creation. Wonder why that is. I knew people who never changed Shepherds look in ME, because he/she fit the videos.

I used ricochet to great effect fighting a gang in a stairwell doing a side gig. I was on a landing having just come up from below as they were coming down the next flight of steps. I stayed out of sight and just sprayed the outside wall ricocheting into them. I was getting head shots and crits galore. Very cool.

I think the same could be said of the Witcher 3. Beautiful world, but definitely a pretty linear story / lite RPG. Maybe your expectations were too high.

Sorta resolved myself to the fact that I am gonna have to live with 30fps if I want to play this with the RTX eye candy on @ 2k rez, on my RTX2080.

The city just devowers my fps , I wonder what DLSS is even doing.

I haven’t really found it linear once you get past a certain point. Just ignore the main story once you see Keanu and do the gigs and POI events.

Just hit the title screen about 30 minutes ago. Been doing a lot of side quests, and just walking around. Seems pretty amazing to me.

Also known as “quacking”

I haven’t played past the tutorial in Cyberpunk, so my response was more about what expectations are reasonable after playing Witcher 3. There was pretty minimal choice and consequence within most quests - they were vignettes on rails. Well done, on rails.

Do the side quests in Cyberpunk have significant reactivity and consequence? In my opinion no one has done it well since Fallout 1 & 2, maybe New Vegas. It’s too expensive to have multiple branching story lines at AAA production costs.

I don’t know about reactivity - I’m still in Act 1 - but this is pretty amazing. I’ve been quacking around between story missions and now am deep in the penthouse infiltration, so I’ve seen a good amount of story content. I don’t normally like to play games that have this little interaction in the story sections, but this is so well done I’m into it. It makes me feel pretty badass. The story beats are pretty linear, and I doubt they’ll wear well on subsequent playthroughs–but you know what? I also got sick of doing the low-level Witcher 3 missions, too, since they didn’t change either, and I replayed that a bunch… :)

I also can’t believe how well integrated the story stuff is with the world. Having a sit-down that turns into a walk n talk that turns into a car ride to a combat sequence…all at high fidelity, with great animations, it’s amazing.

I’m also quite digging the character of Jackie, your main goofball buddy for Act 1. He’s a heavy, but sort of a softie, and a little doofy, and is generally unique in an understated way.

I’ve got an i9 and a 3080 running at 1440p and am hitting between 50-60 FPS with “Psycho” lighting with most everything else turned on max. Pretty happy with that. I just wish there was a 1000 nit 120hz OLED at 32 inches or less to pair it with for HDR.

I don’t agree, because they never showed any special open world systems or reactivity on the prerelease material. They never showed a complicated cop system, nor talking with random civilians, nor buying new homes or pets, nor… you know, etc etc. It’s just people made castles in the sky on their heads about the possibilities.

playing on PS4. never been a problem in other games, but it actually worked smoother after the patch yesterday!
of course, that update erased all my previous settings so had to spend almost an hour on just adjusting settings last night.

also, I can’t proceed with the first main quest now. after visiting Viktor to get your first cyber upgrades, I have to talk to him again to continue the quest. but if I talk to him, I only have the option to pay him back, which I can’t. so… yeah. stuck.
