Ah jaysus my patch download has gone from 14 minutes to 4 hours!

Steam must be dying at the moment.

fenris · 10-12-2020 1:29am

Restarted my machine, the update is much faster now, gone from 18 hours to 9 minutes!

Great to hear, Stadia needed some positive news for a change!

Turned off motion blur, lens flare and film grain straight away. Can't decide whether to keep hdr on or off, will need to test it out. Looks really really good in ps5 and really smooth.

Turning off Motion Bluer and Film Grain are nearly always my first things to do in settings, regardless of the game

Misses was in bed on the phone next to me. I was like: which Penis suits me better? I'll go all natural with foreskin and obviously crank that size slider to 11. My misses: Aaaa, jaysus.

So far on Series X it runs very solid 60 in performance mode. Happy as pig in **** hehe. Looks nice too.

No spoilers, but I just did training part and going for my first proper job I guess. Just having a smoke before I jump in back.

I am actually really love, that they gave us option to turn off motion blur and Film grain. I turned those two ASAP.

I assume the setting you pick at the start Nomad/Street and can't remember last. Changes the game?

I went with Street

Can you tell me how it looks on that after you've had a chance to play?

1 hour 20 played. Ya I'm on Stadia. Looks gorgeous, running it in highest settings. No idea how it compares to other platforms but on my 55 inch 4K TV, I like it. Just finished 1st mission. The game itself has been fun to play so far. Handles well and controls feel sharp. Driving controls are the only thing that seem to lack polish. Steering seems jerky. But that's my only complaint so far. And no bugs I've noticed so far.

I think it only changes the prologue. After that once you get into the game proper it doesn't matter. That's what I've heard on podcasts.

Zero-Cool · 10-12-2020 2:51am

Beat the first mission, back at apartment, calling it a night. Very cool do far. Street Kid Female v is a badass. No idea on my build yet and absolute ton of perks to go through. All the systems are a bit overwhelming, will take a while to get used to I'd say. Only bugs I've seen so far is rubbish clipping through the surface it's sitting on and Jackie walking through an elevator door.

Tons of options in the settings, even how you want to skip dialogue. Can skip car rides as well, little qol things like that.

1st person was the absolute best choice for this, really sucks you into the world.

Ah, i completely forgot to sync my gog account for free items, just remember to do that tomorrow. I'm gonna enjoy this game.

Varik · 10-12-2020 3:05am

FOV on console could be better if trying to melee.

If anyone tries corpo start it seems short, compared to what they showed with nomad or streetkid start.

Really like the montages.

ironictoaster · 10-12-2020 3:12am

Starts with nomad, feels kinda like Deus Ex, so good so far. Feels a bit floaty on PC using a 2070.

EDIT: DLSS to quality helps. Averaging 70 fps

Temptamperu · 10-12-2020 3:18am

Nomad was short too but i'm still on the prologue.

you can pet animals. GOTY!!

PopeVicodin · 10-12-2020 3:23am

Kinda regretting caving and buying it now. It is rough on PS5. It looks like a PS4 game; which it is.
It's an interesting game so still might playthrough anyway and do another playthrough when the PS5 version is released.
Maybe they'll do some intermediate fix for PS5 in the meantime.

johnny_ultimate · 10-12-2020 3:26am

Good 60 FPS for the most part on PS5, but definitely noticed some juddering when it finally opened up a bit. A little flat looking in parts (unsurprisingly for a PS4 game) but definite bump nonetheless and a plenty handsome game overall. 60 FPS makes a big difference though, and happy with that rather than fiddling around with PC settings.

Nomad path gets off to a pretty bland start, honestly. Uninteresting storytelling, tedious on-rail shootout, very generic ‘vr’ tutorial for the main mechanics. Some cool touches like a rapid montage to kick things into gear, but all very standard stuff otherwise.

Character models look great, and you definitely get a sense that this is a pretty different video game city when they finally take some of the training wheels off. Events unfold a level or two above you. Roads wrap and diverge in curious ways. The variety and detail of character models is nuts (if you ignore the dupes that start popping up :pac:). There’s a sense of sprawling, unorganised chaos to the place which makes it feel a touch more genuine than many games of its ilk.

Bugs, there are a few. A randomly floating car; characters clipping through each other; and most bizarrely my main, fully clothed character appearing bald and with only (and I mean only) a standard white tank top in mirrors / cutscenes. Not a super jank fest or anything so far, but rough edges for sure.

CDPR continue to be terrible at menu and UI design. An unholy mess here, not helped by this recent console trend of having cursor based menus.

I think it looks pretty good on Series X. I know its just piggyback ridding on xbox one version, but saying that the game looks rough, is a bit off.

Liking gun play so far. Feels good, considering its rpg, not shooter.

Varik · 10-12-2020 3:28am

Screams cyberpunk badass.

J. Marston · 10-12-2020 3:37am

How in-depth, or shallow, is the character creator?

SomeSayKos · 10-12-2020 3:43am

Went with corpo. Loving the vibe so far. Runs well on ps5. Looks fantastic at times, looks flat at times. Saw 2 very minor bugs so far.

Looking forward to a proper session with it over the weekend. Early signs are promising though !

one armed dwarf · 10-12-2020 5:24am

Well I put a couple hours in, so far I don't really like it much. I find it a bit bewildering, also it makes me laugh how people were making fun of a journalist for missing with their gun but then when you try the aiming in this you completely understand. It really is that difficult, it's very clunky.

At the recommended settings for my 3070 it pretty much never hits 60fps, but after a while I found myself fine bouncing between 30 to 55fps cause gsync manages to make it feel alright enough anyway. It can look very good at times, othertimes it can look kind of bad which I don't really get. I had to set DLSS to quality and leave it there cause it was ruining the picture more than a low framerate does. Definitely a new 'Crysis'

Christ that 2nd Image looks stunning.

This is what I want to hear. ( I didnt want to hear it but you get my drift )
I really believe they have over-stretched on this game. Im sure it was released before it was finished.
And couldnt delay it another time.

Thankyou

wes · 10-12-2020 6:29am

Plays good on my Series X. Decided on the Series X over the PS5 due to free sync, as it will handle any frame drops.

Had one freeze so far, where the game froze for a few seconds and then it was fine.

Looks like the managed to iron out a bunch of issues for release, so that is good.

Germany these days. Got SMS yesterday evening to go to Gamestop to pick it up. Was a heavy lump of a box. 15KG probably.

A big figure, the game under a Plastic sheet signed from the team, big art book, some kind of tourist guide, and a bunch of smaller stuff. A steel book, a map, some world compendium. Also you get the soundtrack and some other stuff digitally.

Smiles35 · 10-12-2020 7:08am

Ohhhh 56%......... Downloaded 57%.............. for the last patch on GOG before I can play.

Kiith · 10-12-2020 7:20am

Left my machine on overnight to finish the download, and got up nice and early to play before launch. Seems like my machine rebooted at some stage, and the game didn't install properly. Verify game files, and 30gb+ still to download....**** sake, i've waited long enough to play this already! :mad:

Temptamperu · 10-12-2020 7:37am

Played the first 6 hours. So far its a fantastic game. Got some bugs in the training stuff but not many since, on the base PS4 BTW. gonna go get some sleep and get up early to play more.

You can pet the animals guys.

The White Wolf · 10-12-2020 8:18am

I found the gamespot review interesting as a general point that I always assumed in regards RPGs which is Side Quests > Main Quest.

Bit disappointing that carving out your own character during side quests has no bearing on your character in the main quest, so you're essentially playing two characters.

I know it must be incredibly difficult to deliver an RPG capable of that much freedom in how you develop your character, but I guess the hype got my hopes up that this could have been the game to do it.

CptMackey · 10-12-2020 8:47am

Played about and hour or so last night. Really enjoying it. Graphics are good on PS4 pro.

I haven't noticed any major glitches, shooting is clunky tho

Markitron · 10-12-2020 9:54am

Any word on what resolution it is running at on PS5? I heard it was running at 60 FPS which tbh has me worried, I can deal with 30 FPS (if it is locked) but I can't deal with 1080p.

If it's running on 60fps and is the PS4 gamecode you can be sure it's nothing more than 1080p I'm afraid.
The PS5 version should offer a quality/performance option.

I'd much prefer 60fps over a 30fps 1440p game.

These are some Mass Effect Andromeda levels of jankiness. Unlike that though, I think this will eventually be a good game.

AdamD · 10-12-2020 10:40am

Played about an hour and a half of this last night and found it enjoyable, was on PS5 and the performance was good but I hadn't hit a crowded area yet. Story seemed to be dragging me in pretty quickly

PopeVicodin · 10-12-2020 10:41am

Gamespot reviewer somewhat vindicated today I feel. I'd only give it a 7 in its current state too.

It's not just the graphical issues and bugs, the story is messy. You get dog-piled with side missions. Random people ring you when you're talking to someone and V is like, "Who are you?" and they reply, "You don't know me but I've heard of you."

It feels old too. The VR tutorial that takes you out of the game, for instance. The way waypoints are used is dated too. Ghost of Tsushima showed initiative in world navigation earlier in the year. Now I'm back to yellow spots and dotted lines!

I'm putting it on the back-burner for now. I'm gonna wait for PS5 version which is what I should've done in the first place.

clsmooth · 10-12-2020 10:42am

How would you guys compare it to Deus Ex Mankind Divided so far? (A game that I feel is criminally underrated)

As someone who has played countless hours of PUBG, this kinda stuff is water off a duck's back for me.

It also helps that I essentially got the game for free with a Cyberpunk Xbox One X, so would be less irritated than if I had bought the game on its own.

Well you can certainly add "depth" to your character, that's for sure.

fixXxer · 10-12-2020 10:44am

Would there be any performance difference on a PS5 on the internal HD vs on an external USB 3.0 HD?

Playing it last night, Deus Ex is what it most felt like compared to any other game. The combat, chatting, upgrading, picking up items and reading logs, very similar.

Looks great mostly, definitely some textures that looked old and flat compared to recent big games like TLOU 2. Can already see where the next gen upgrade improvements will go and can tell it will be special but at the moment, it's nothing that puts me off playing or even distracts me from enjoying the game. Definitely glad I'm not waiting for the next gen upgrade as with my short playtime so far, I'm really liking it.

I don't mind the odd flat texture, its soft images that I just cannot stand. 1080p is a dealbreaker.

I ended up getting it anyway, not cos I want the game at all, but I was able to use my €10 discount. And with the premiere edition offer, I was able to get the controller, chromecast ultra and cyberpunk for €50
