At this point I’m just going to wait for the first big content patch. I’ve still got a ton of stuff to play from last year, let alone the stuff coming out this year.

5462

Yup. All of the above. The “play as anybody” concept sounded cool, but in practice the only differences between people are some minor abilities and maybe a special gadget you can’t get any other way like a spy will come with a silenced pistol, or a beekeeper comes with robot bee drone swarm. Unfortunately, this makes everyone in WDL pretty dull and very obviously procedurally generated.

They do have schedules and they have dynamic interactions with traffic, the environment, and each other, so they are a step ahead of Cyberpunk 2077’s crowds.

5463

Christ. 1.06 appears to be less buggy as I was able to 100% complete the game on it. 1.10 has broken a couple things so far.

5464

Cyberpunk citizens only cower and run away. That’s all. Are there other NPC reactions in WD?

I won’t start on the non-existent Police system. I aggroed them for a gang member’s grenade doing damage to them.

5465

The one thing that annoys me with this game is their made up? word “choomba”. It feels so forced and unnatural. I cringe ever time it’s uttered.

5466

Yeah, they act a lot more believably, getting ticked at you for your driving, chasing you if you hit them sometimes, stuff like that.

5467

I don’t hate Cyberpunk. I hate Anthem. Both are incomplete and massively disappointing.

Also, visually stunning.

I am almost level 50 and wanted to try the secret ending to see if all the iconics are granted (from the other endings too) in the post-credit save.

5468

Cyberpunk isn’t much of an open-world game, but I do enjoy the combat and the graphics are at a level where I repeatedly sit back and say to myself, out loud, “Goddamn, this is one good-looking game.” I can’t remember the last time that happened. Probably Far Cry 1, or Crysis.

It’s great in the winter, we’re in a polar vortex now and that 3080 running at full blast keeps my legs nice and toasty.

5469

Here’s some stupidity in a sea of endless broken and unfinished systems in this game:

The iconic weapons you get/earn after the point of no return (Nocturne) aren’t kept in the after-credits save it creates for you. So stupid. Plus you get them at low level stats even if you are level 50 and would have to waste thousands of crafting components to upgrade.

The thing you DO get to keep (like a legendary nomad jacket) has its # or mod slots retooled each time you load that save. So if you finished the game and you got a 3 mod slot nomad jacket) it might 0-4 later on.

5470

The most frustrating thing perhaps about this game is how it hovers on the edge of greatness but at the last minute gets cold feet and instead of leaping to glory, squats down and drops a deuce.

5471

Haha, yeah. My 3080 feels like a space heater under my desk. It’s nice in the winter but beyond that I’m just glad I have my computer in the basement where it tends to stay nice and cool, last year me setup was on the top floor.

5472

I actually replaced my chassis exhaust fan with a Noctua, which helped a surprising amount. The old one was a Fractal fan that came with my case and topped out at 900RPM, the new one goes up to 1500RPM at high temps and evacuates a ton of air even when totally silent at the same 900RPM.

5473

As much as I despise how broken it is, engagement for this really dropped here with the QT3 Hivemind. I wanted to talk lore, story and the genre (in the other thread by @tomchick or the spoilers thread but those haven’t had activity for weeks.

5474

Well I stopped playing for a month while RMAing my 3080. If my GPU hadn’t broken I would have easily finished it in that time. I could finish it quickly now, but I’m doing all the side quests and such first.

5475

Well, I got the game for Xmas but with so much that needs work on it, I’ve decided that I can play something else until they knock it back into shape. There’s no rush, it’s not like I don’t have some huge backlog to spend time on.

5476

I only got about an hour into act 2 and shelved it. Performance with my RTX 2080 wasn’t satisfactory, so I am waiting for game patches and hopefully a RTX3080 before summer. :P

5477

Same lol. I actually got ‘lucky’ that I had to RMA the 3060 (no possible replacement due to stock issues so I got a full refund) because I realized I wasn’t happy with RTX performance.

Once you see it in action it really is hard to go back.

5478

Man I’d just persuaded myself that a 2080S was fine :/

5479

GTX 1080 Ti and Ryzen 7 2700 run it at 60 fps at 1080p and 40-50 fps at 1440p with DF’s settings.

5480

Really? I have a 2070S and it was perfectly fine at 1440p. /shrug
