Should be ok.

Running fine on my laptops GTX 1650
Many thanx, yeah i couldn't give a crap about resolution and texture quality etc, I'm happy playing games in 720p on my 24" screen if need be, heading into my 50s soon so it all looks the same anyways, as long as I get minimum 30fps I am happy
:thumbsup:

I recommend anybody just starting to first play a bit of the main story until it starts branching out before starting any side activities.

I was at the beginning of part 2 (Basically finishing the prelude etc.) when I started ignoring the main story and do side stuff.
At that point it is basically just fixer jobs and meaningless fetch / deliver quests.
There are a lot of variety in the fixer jobs and when starting doing them you can be forgiven for thinking that all fixer jobs will be a unique experience.
They are not.
You will start noticing fairly early that they all boil down to the same thing just in different locations.

Go there, steal that. Go there, save that guy. Go there kill those guys.
That's basically it. It's the easiest way to get stinking rich, but it get tedious.

Luckily after continuing the story for about an hour three new side quests opened up and some more side activities.

So don't jump into the open world too soon. Wait until the story starts branching out and you will have a better open world experience.

Is there a bar I can go to and get shitfaced with people and play coinage? I was the Master in my youth back in the day, no one could play coinage better than me

I understand the hype behind this game but it's somewhat underwhelming for me.

There are bars, but they are glorified store fronts.
There are no drinking animations outside of pre-determined cutscenes. No bar games, nothing.

You can dance in some clubs, but that's it.

All the cool stuff is locked behind cinematics in story or side quests.
The RP in this game is dreadfully dull.

mmmm sounds like the side quests in Leisure Suit Larry back in the day were more fun than this Cyberpunk game. Im starting to think people are gonna be very bored in a few weeks time of this game :(

Well,
Same can be said for Witcher 3

The brilliance of Witcher 3 was in the quests, Witcher contracts and the main story.
Except for Gwent the side stuff was also lacking.

Differences between Bethesda and CDPR is that Bethesda focuses on world building while CDPR focuses on writing, storytelling and fleshed out characters.

Can't really compare Skyrim with Witcher.

I hit a really funny bug yesterday. When calling my motorcycle it would refuse to stop, so I had to chase it all over the city trying to jump on. After a while I got too close and it ran me over a few times.

Bethesda also doesn't fix their games. Bugs from the original skyrim carried through to the remastered version

Not really true. Pretty much all major bugs I encountered in the original game were gone when I bought the Special Edition. There's still some bugs though but nothing serious. At least not in my game
