Cyberpunk 2077

The last person I would listen to for advice on gaming is a streamer.

If you use DLS on Quality or balanced

If you use DLS on Quality or balanced mode it looks good. If you're going to buy and you have the money, get the 3080.

That isn't the issue for me, seeing a 3090 not skyrocketing in that game in 1440p, is kind off worrying for me. Since that card is R40000+-. I am thinking to wait for the the super versions or TI versions which ever they going to call it, I think the 3080/70 lacking VRAM.

Nah, what you need to wait for are patches and updates. Also, I don’t know how old you are, but if you were around when Crysis launched - this is that same scenario.

The best looking gaming available, but it comes at a cost. We just dk t have the horsepower to run this game as we would like to in its current form.

But people are getting smoothly playable 4K experiences. Not sure what else you could want really.

VRAM isn't the issue here. Watching the tech review clips on Youtube I've yet to see it use significantly more than 8GB even @ 4K on Ultra with RT

I watched a few streamers to see their performance, a streamer getting 60 frames on 1440p on high/ultra without DXR, on a 3090? He doesn't want to put on DLSS since he say the game looks blurry then. I was considering getting a 3080/70 just to play the game proper, but that kind off put me off for buying a 30XX series card.

I had a look at a few videos comparing low-med-high-ultra visuals, there's honestly not much between med-ultra. You'll have to stand dead still and pixel peep to notice anything but on the move not so much. Wrt low preset the biggest obvious difference is the reflections off the ground/windows and then less noticeable are contact shadows but beyond that it pretty much looks like the other presets.

Which one is a better open world experience? GtaV or rdr2?

Open world GTAV.
Story RDR2.

Spending way too much time in this game already, but what I can say is whoever visualised Cyberpunk as a digital game is obsessed with Deus Ex and Dishonoured. Familiarity in this game is all too common.

I genuinely like this game because it is right up my alley, but I don't believe it is GOTY material, although it already won best RPG at GamesCom which allows the title to be used, ironic that CP2077 isn't a thoroughbred RPG.

In my opinion Watch Dogs 3 is the better game, but Ubi haven’t rubbed right with the masses. WD3 is very much the same, excluding the Cyberpunk theme it is still a punk game.

As now, Wasteland 3 is the best RPG, how CP2077 won there is beyond me not to mention the award was given in August already… neither did Wasteland 3 win at The Game Awards, because it went up against SEGA and Square Enix stables which also only had action-adventures on the table.

Just like CP2077 won an award in August I am calling it now that Baldur’s Gate 3 will be the better RPG, well it is an RPG, and game than CP2077. Larian Studio’s track record is simply too good to lose. Who knows how Bloodlines 2 may turn out, and they have been warned by CP2077’s launch, but I think Paradox’s title is currently in a creative mess.

What disappointed me about CP2077 going into the lore is that it isn’t that unique and it does borrow a lot, and yes, it is a cyberpunk theme, but I have experienced it all already and I would have liked more originality. I read up on this, and I noted that the Cyberpunk lore was updated with Cyberpunk Red (/cough CDP RED) release last year. I guess the digital game direction, creativity, impacted the latest board game. I would love to own a copy,

I rate Cyberpunk 8/10, sadly to disappoint with the 80%, but that is how it is ignoring the bugs. Add the bugs and I will give it a solid 5/10, there is simply no excuse, and in my 55 hours I have experienced the most insane bugs I have experienced in gaming history. The mission bugs killed it. I was also an early The Division 2 adopter and it also had broken missions, and you couldn't complain about it because their community would simply point out that you are the problem and the problem are not with the game. It may be hot in CP2077's kitchen, but the market is still more lenient with them than any other developer.

Just to wrap this post up, The Witcher 3 was a 10/10. CDPR can do better, but they made too many promises. I also wouldn't be surprised that they rushed CP2077 to get back on track with setting up The Witcher 4's development which is set to start now, probably early next year, and that they have another title in production which very little is known about which is set to launch in 2021.

Anyway, I probably have 15hrs to play in CP2077 and then I am done. 65-70 hrs game, in the case you play like I do, and you probably need to subtract some hours I dedicated to testing out the game. It may be a longer game as I have had side quests expand at a later time in the game, maybe the main plot drives more side quests... will have to see, but I also have work to do.

Have you played Watch Dogs 2?

 

[Fulcrum29]

Just to put it out there, make multiple saves. There is a bug which can break save games.

 

[animal531]

I've only gotten a marginal amount of bugs, think I've only needed to reload once so far to fix an issue, the rest were small visual things.

After editing the memory_pool_budgets file as per reddit I can now play my 1070 on high settings on 1440 (with HDR enabled).

 

[Fulcrum29]

It is absolutely worth it to upgrade Skippy, the best companion ever.

That's difficult to say because they are really pretty different. To be honest I haven't finished the stories of either - I mainly just play GTA Online and RDR Online, and I have sunk over 200 hours into RDR Online, so for me, it was a bit better. But GTAV is awesome as well.

There is no game currently in existence that beats the open world of RDR2

GTA V?
Watch Dogs 2?

How many open world big city games with cars are there?
Countless

How many open world western games done to near perfection?
2

Edit:
Forgot about Gun
But Gun is pretty bare bones

I personally don't care much for Western themes, be it movies or games. It's not an era that I find particularly interesting. Seems boring AF. Hang out at the bar all day cos electricity never existed. They had awesome whores though...

First song which came to my mind when walking into Cloud,

 

[Vrotappel]

Have you played Watch Dogs 2?

No.

 

[Herr der Verboten]

Have you played Watch Dogs 2?

Any good?

 

[wbot]

Any good?

No. Much worse than first one

 

[Beyond.Celsus]

Any good?

You use 3D printed guns.
That on its own makes it a -2/10 for me

Sir john phallustiff LOL. Knew she was a freak.

All this talk about Cyberpunk's technically-demanding nature just emphasises why consoles are good for worry-free gaming. On my XSX, I don't have any quality worries on Cyberpunk apart from some software glitches other people have reported: Jackie walking through elevator doors while still closed, a parked car turning invisible to allow Jackie to walk through it, an NPC with their arms out in a T (what even causes that error???). Visuals are good for me, but I'm playing at Full HD and not 4K (which probably helps). Planning to get stuck into it now that I'm finally on holiday. I was interested to see how little visual fine tuning there is possible on the XSX compared to the PC version: you can't play around with anything apart from a quality or performance switch, and some other useless stuff I deactivated outright (film grain and chromatic aberration and motion blur - all stuff that ruins the visuals).

For anybody with an XSX wondering if you should pull the trigger, I can confirm you can go for it without any technical worries. Quick Resume works a treat on this game, so it's easy to get in and out.
