The street samurai backstory is IMO the most fleshed-out (such as it is) and interesting of the three. All are equally disposable once the game proper begins. You get a few dialog options once in a while that mean exactly nothing, which are based on your origin, but that’s about it.
The corpo backstory is, in my opinion, the worst of the lot. Boring start, and the inter-office rivalry they set up amounts to a wet fart.
There’s a corpo quest later. It’s resolved in a minute.
Yeah, I remember thinking, “That’s it?”

According to CDPR’s biz dev guy, while the studio’s still aiming to release the next-gen update this year, it’s possible the refresh might slip into 2022.
“The target is to release the next-gen version of Cyberpunk 2077 late this year,” explained Nowakowski. “At the same time, keeping in mind the lessons we have learned during the past year and taking into account that this project still remains in development, we can’t say with full certainty that the production schedule will not change.”
Honestly I’m more interested in Witcher 3 update. I still probably won’t be able to play CP2077 with RTX on a modern hardware. And I’m not sure it will ever be a great game. But exploring Toussaint with enhanced graphics - yes please.
Yes, DLSS and RTX in Witcher 3 would definitely make me consider another 100+ hours in game. Probably the only open world game I’ll ever consider replaying.

I just finished my second play through and I can’t see myself playing this again. They would need to add some radically different stuff to the game to make it worth while. Aside from bugs, the game design in most areas, just sucks. I do love the graphics though and am quite please with so much spoken dialog.

Most huge open world games don’t tempt me for a replay because my style is to spend hundreds of hours exploring every inch of the world and finding everything there is to find the first time around.
However, I am in my second play through of RDR2 due to my brother being in his first play through, to help him out on some things, and I am amazed at things I am discovering I never saw or experienced the first time through. And I took forever to get through the chapters of the game because I so enjoyed riding into every inch of the huge world and exploring everything there was to explore. I do think I have had every variation of a member of the gang coming up on me and saying “Dutch is wondering if you are ever going to come back to camp?”
Oh wait what? I didn’t even realise I wasn’t playing the next-gen version of Cyberpunk. They have bigger problems than graphics to fix though.

Yep, it’s running in back compat mode. Update should load faster and offer some RT reflections, looking more like the truly spectacular PC version.
The more they push the release of next-gen, the more my PS5 sits idle. I’ve just too many PC games to occupy me and Cyberpunk was the only game that could get me to play on the PS5, but I’m not doing it until I have the game built for it.
I’m still on the PS4 but I haven’t touched it ever since I got a decent PC. I’m sure I’ll get a PS5 eventually for the exclusives and all that, but my PC is more than enough.
I can imagine most people being happy with their PS4s these days. I really only lucked into a PS5 through casual checking and figured I planned on upgrading anyway so why not, but there was zero urgency to it. I don’t regret it; the consoles last a long time and I’ll more than get my money’s worth out of it. I’d only like a decent RPG to get me on it, which is why D4 is still the game I’d time-travel to play.

I caught up on 731 posts in this thread. There wasn’t anything interesting, sorry everyone!
Question for any players who remember-- I’ve barely started the game and am in the scene where V and Jackie (?) are in the car and he asks if I want to do the VR training, so I figure I need a tutorial and say yes.
The basic combat tutorial goes fine, but then the hacking tutorial seems to be buggy because it never explicitly told me how to scan something. I finally figured out it was the left bumper on the controller but before that I was mystified at how I was supposed to proceed. Was this always broken or did it happen recently in the patches?

So I’ve played through Act I and a couple of missions after and stalled out a bit. They’ve made a city, but it all looks the same. I just follow the map from one location to another and I might as well have stayed where I was. I kind of like the missions inside the buildings, but they’re not anything amazing. Should I keep playing?
Eh, it gets better, but never really reaches super highs or anything. It’s all content polish, and no gameplay polish. They also seemingly completely ignored all advances\common player conveniences in open world game design and UI. Some of the side quest chains are really good, and the game is occasionally really impressive, but there’s a lot of non interactive bits (which is somehow more annoying when you’re in first person), and a looooot of driving around (in a city where the driving sucks).
It’s amazing that it’s been ~10 months now and they’ve basically done nothing to improve the game.
Best excuse, for them, is that the ransomware attack really fucked them.
