(there's a word for that that isn't 'skirt' which escapes me at the moment ....coat tail? Anyway, yeah - I can see the samurai vibe from Geralt. My understanding was the samurai that didn't have a master to serve would roam, living off the land, doing odd jobs for those in need etc. Fairly simple code of honour that lacked much in the way of a grey area. I never tried to 'play' him like that, but I can definitely see the logic behind that impression.

I was one of the ones who felt more "burned" by the game's design choices I'm curious - which design choices presented an issue for you? I thought implementation of a number of choices fell flat - and hard - but the choices themselves were fine. First person perspective lock, aside - I can't think of a single design 'choice' that really made me grumble at all. Some were different than what I, or another developer would've done, of course, but that shouldn't necessarily be a problem.

First person perspective lock, aside - I can't think of a single design 'choice' that really made me grumble at all. Some were different than what I, or another developer would've done, of course, but that shouldn't necessarily be a problem. The voice acting as opposed to textual protagonist dialogue(the female V comes close, but neither are good enough to justify all the roleplaying limits that came with them in a game of this scope and potential for roleplaying and character investment), the abysmal amount and variation and quality of dialogue options, the incredibly ugly and impractical UI and menu layouts at launch (haven't been back for a year or so, were looking forward to seeing what they look like now until... well...), the lack of a character appearance changer and the overwhelming cavalcade of weirdos that start blowing up your phone with quest offers and car deals from all over the map as soon as you leave the introduction area in the middle of what is supposed to be one of the more somber and dramatic low points in the game. Oh, and the level-gating and glacial character development that makes TW3 look like God Of War. I had lots of annoyances and lots of things I liked about it besides those things, but in retrospect they were the ones that made me lose interest and stop playing. The idea of having a single wacky general sidequest-giver for dozens of quests for each region and having them all converge on you at once the very moment the game opens up immediately killed my interest in the open world and exploration aspect. Was planning on approaching the game with a more moderate and non-completionist mindset this time around, but now I guess we'll see if they fix it before my fascination with the whole Yakuza atmosphere fades. Might be wrong about there being another word for that part of the armor/garb/robe. Guess it's a skirt, then. Or... folds? Or a hem? I dunno, this isn't my language. Am already looking forward to playing Geralt as more of a mercenary/hired sword than a hedge knight next playthrough assuming WW3 doesn't start before then. That might play well with the grayer, more self-serving interpretation of the whole Samurai/Ronin idea of an unscrupulous and ruthless hired killer who isn't afraid of sending dirty peasant heads rolling because this or that insults him, and principal indifference to the suffering of those without power or coin or status to make it worth his while.

Spent around 4 hours so far. This patch has massively improved the polish and open world reactivity of the game. Traffic and crowd AI are actually better. It seems to look better as well, maybe they added some environmental effects. But it's also more demanding imo. I'll be waiting for the Digital Foundry analysis. Also, not a single bug yet. I'm on PC. The Jinguji where the side quest Bullets takes place is still bugged after the quest is finished. The lights inside the store stay permanently red. It's not game breaking but I find it quite annoying because I really like the store interior and the red lights kind of ruin it. I've also encountered some NPC models t-posing and spazzing out in Lizzie's Bar. The new update added ray-traced local light shadows so I'm getting a huge performance hit with ray-tracing enabled. My average framerate is now 10-20 FPS lower than before. For some reason, having resizable-BAR enabled also decreases the performance with my 3090. I think it's better to leave it disabled for now in the BIOS. I find the trade-off for ray tracing is just too steep. Frankly I’d rather have the frames over some slightly more accurate reflections and [local] shadows. Other than that I enjoy most of the changes. Also, non-hijacked V can actually play a guitar now, which is nice.

Other than that I enjoy most of the changes. Also, non-hijacked V can actually play a guitar now, which is nice. I bought the 3090 just to be able to use ray-tracing. I think Cyberpunk 2077 is still the best game to showcase ray-traced lighting and ray-traced reflections. In my opinion, the difference is night and day compared to other games that utilize ray-tracing. Ray-traced shadows on the other hand didn't have as much impact on image quality before. However, the 1.5 patch has added ray-traced local light shadows. So now the game looks even better with them enabled. Personally, I don't play Cyberpunk 2077 as a first-person shooter or RPG. I prefer to walk around the city, have fun with user-made mods, and just take photos. Like a typical Bethesda game. It's vast, beautiful, full of bugs, and a great walking simulator.

Back to TW3, then. I guess there's something vaguely Samurai-ish about Geralt in the Ursine Armor with the flabby robe part (there's a word for that that isn't 'skirt' which escapes me at the moment), ponytail and the two swords? Right? Maybe it's just me? Tunic. I wouldn't say it's remotely samurai-like though (and I study martial arts from the warring states period.) I think you're being reminded of hakama, but they look quite different. Anyway, yeah - I can see the samurai vibe from Geralt. My understanding was the samurai that didn't have a master to serve would roam, living off the land, doing odd jobs for those in need etc. Fairly simple code of honour that lacked much in the way of a grey area. I never tried to 'play' him like that, but I can definitely see the logic behind that impression. You're mistaken in attributing that to a ronin (masterless samurai). Bushi was a caste, not a code, and most were bureaucrats, by the end. However the description you give is not incorrect– it just isn't that of a ronin– it's that of a knight-errant. Sapkowski has said so explicitly. I will say I think bugginess in CP77 was way overblown, presumably as an over-correction to the overhype it got before release. It was less buggy than DA2, dramatically less buggy than something like New Vegas. As far as performance on the weak previous gen of consoles… it performed better than many acclaimed games like Control! (And of course its beloved predecessor TW3 launched in a pretty buggy state.) I only ran into two bugs during my playthrough– in December 2020, so it had hardly been patched that much yet. I was definitely frustrated by elements of the UI, but those seem to be entirely overhauled now with 1.5.

I am glad you had a less then buggy experience then I did, but don't make the claim that your experience is the reality for everyone and the people that did have issues overblew them. In two hours I had crashes, freeze, getting stuck, and save game corruption in Cyberpunk it was worse then any BioWare launch (including Anthem) or The Witcher 3.

I'm currently testing out the latest Nvidia driver. Version 1.5 so far seems to be fairly stable with the latest 511.79 Nvidia driver, but I've only put in about 20 hours playing various side quests and main story quests. So more testing is still needed. Resizable BAR is also working correctly somehow. I'm now getting a 5-6% performance increase on average. DisabledEnabled

In two hours I had crashes, freeze, getting stuck, and save game corruption in Cyberpunk it was worse then any BioWare launch (including Anthem) or The Witcher 3. I assume you also play on PC. If you have any mods installed, you can try disabling them. However, I have the latest version of Cyber Engine Tweak along with some basic mods installed and they seem to work fine for now. According to CD Projekt Red, a lot of crashes are caused by audio drivers and software like A-Volute, Nahimic, and Sonic Studio. The memory leak issue also seems to get a lot worse with the 1.5 update. Sometimes I have to restart the game after a couple hours because the performance just keeps getting ridiculously worse. If you're getting freezes, the problem could be hardware or driver related. Does it only freeze in Cyberpunk or other games as well? I remember the save file corruption was a huge issue before the 1.06 patch. Players who crafted a lot of items would find their save files corrupted when they exceeded 8MB in size. If your save files are getting corrupted on a brand new playthrough on top of the freezing issues, it could be a rather difficult fix. Bad RAM, bad timings, or bad overclock settings maybe? I don't really know.

I place it in the context of the same gaming media over-hyping the game pre-release. I did see some of the worst examples, but they weren't as bad as those of New Vegas or many other games. In ME2 at release, I would frequently run into a glitch that prevented me from interacting with anything, whether doors, or power targeting, or objects. (And I usually play a biotic so that made my first few playthroughs especially punishing… at a door I could save and reload, not so much mid-battle. Googling reveals that some people have gotten that same glitch in Legendary though luckily I haven't yet, perhaps because I got Legendary for console.) The UI and many mechanics were definitely not ready for release. I was not expecting the overhaul that we got. As for the last-gen console performance issues, which were the main area of things being overblown, they were nothing compared to other big titles like Control.

I've been getting into this far more than I thought would. Exploring the world for loot and hacking opportunities is kinda fun and taking out all the pockets of gangs and Cyber Psychos as well. Combat plain sucks until you get the movement speed and reload speed perks. Going with shotguns, blades and tech tree at the moment. I'm glad you can respec fairly cheap. 1.5 has made a huge difference.

Fair enough, but I think the console version was pretty buggy or at least performance was subpar for everything I was seeing. Which I would include stutters and things of that nature. I don't think it is that much different then the problems of ME2 expect it might have been more prevalent on the console versions of Cyberpunk because they tried to gut the game to work on the consoles after designing it for a high end PC. So the opposite situation of Arkham Knight which still is a mess on PC unless you have a system that crushes the system requirements now.

All my experiences were at launch and I just haven't had the time to dedicate to playing a game like Cyberpunk at this time. I am still working my way through my final Dragon Age: Inquisition game I started back in September. In that case, Cyberpunk 2077 is now in a much much better shape. I haven't had any crashes for quite a while. Basically none since the 1.1 or 1.2 patch, but even at launch, the game was still fairly stable for me for some reason. So far I've put in nearly 1000 hours into the game and I can probably count the number of crashes I've had with both hands. Which is weird because I also play with user-made mods on top of that. My main complaint with the game is the gameplay. Most side quests are too generic, too simple, too repetitive, and too boring. You also don't get any fun activities to do on the side. The AI has improved but it is still pretty dumb. On the positive side, Cyberpunk definitely has some of the best stories, best characters, and best music I've ever experienced in any video games. Every once in a while when the stars align, you stumble upon a quest with a story that's so character-driven and it just pulls you in as you dig deeper. With Night City as the beautiful backdrop, a moment like that really is an unforgettable experience. It is also why I keep coming back to this game despite its flaws. Of course, these are just my opinions. Not everyone has the same patience. Not everyone can overlook these issues and instead focus on the rare moments where this game truly shines. Which is why I still wouldn't recommend the game to most of my friends.

I just started a new playthrough since launch a couple of days ago. One thing I wish they would add is more voice types. In my first PT and my current I picked the Streetkid background for my male V, since I feel his voice matches that background better. I can't play as a Corpo with that smartass streetwise hood voice type. Maybe I will try the other background which I forgot it's name. A couple of posts back I read we can respec. Since I messed up my starting attributes I wish to respec them. How do I do that?

Since I messed up my starting attributes I wish to respec them. How do I do that? I had the same problem as well. I started my very first playthrough on the Corpo lifepath and English female V's voice had never sounded like a Corpo to me. I thought she was too snarky, too hotheaded, and at times, too much of a bitch. Not like there's anything wrong with it, because I truly love female V's voice to death. I also enjoy playing as a mean bitch in video games and real life. I just thought that her voice would be more suited for a Streetkid bitch instead of a cold, methodical, and calculating Corpo bitch. As for your Attributes, you can't reset them after you've spent your Attribute Points. If you play on PC, you can simply use Cyber Engine Tweaks to modify your Attributes. If you have the console version, you pretty much have to start a new character or load up a much earlier game save which is quite unfortunate.

I just started a new playthrough since launch a couple of days ago. One thing I wish they would add is more voice types. In my first PT and my current I picked the Streetkid background for my male V, since I feel his voice matches that background better. I can't play as a Corpo with that smartass streetwise hood voice type. Maybe I will try the other background which I forgot it's name. A couple of posts back I read we can respec. Since I messed up my starting attributes I wish to respec them. How do I do that? I had the same problem as well.

I am on PC and do have that mod Cyber Engine Tweaks. As for the male V his voice is good for the Streetkid background, since he does sound like he grew up on the streets. Hopefully they'll release an additional voices pack as free dlc.

Cyberpunk 2077 received an update today. Thankfully C.E.T was updated. Had to restart from the beginning since I couldn't get the console command to work. No problem, I was not that far into the game either way. I've never completed this game. The farthest I made was up to the big heist Jackie kept on talking about. Will see this time if I can finish the game.

Huh that's interesting. I also chose Corpo with a female V and the choices I made sounded like it fit that origin more than the others (granted the best way to describe it was 'she's too nice for this job). But yeah Cherami Leigh was amazing in this, though she's great in a lot of things so wasn't surprised.

Finished the game. I initially gave it 1/5, I will now give it a 3/5 and I mean that in the most positive way. I think it may become a 4/5 eventually, with some quality DLC, but they won't make big DLC if it isn't likely to be profitable, so I guess the jury is still out on volume of DLC the game will receive.
I will start with complaints.
1. Could not complete a Gig. An important one, 16/17. Scanned all the evidence, quest would not update. Made sure to collect all looted bodies, and double-tap any body I killed/disabled with a quickhack. Annoying.
2. Breach mini-game. Should be a way to do this faster, especially later in the game. It becomes tedious playing sudoku over and over. With level 20 Intelligence and Quickhacking, level 14 Breach, I should be able to look at a terminal and it's hacked.
3. Couldn't upgrade Skippy to Legendary. Why? Leveling weapons and how they are scaled to level seems to still need work - if I am level 50 I should be able to upgrade everything. Broken mechanism.
What was meh?
1. Traffic, pedestrian and automotive, is still glitchy as hell. Some of this is brought on by a lack of proper parking for the many vehicles V buys or steals, drives to a location, and leaves in the middle of the road.
2. Play a long session? You will have memory leaks. Framerate will eventually become broken, need to quit game completely.
3. Optimization. Game is not utilizing my hardware (5600x/3070) to the max, but is straining them. Inefficient processes, seems to be very common these days.
Love?
1. The story. This surprised me. Despite the small amount of role-playing available to make V your own, it still took me places emotionally. Better than I expected, and I will pay more attention to the lore on a second game. I usually bypass a lot of reading on the first play.
2. The city. Massive, easy to get lost, and then (just like in real life) you start to get your bearings. Incredibly detailed and populated. I wish for more interactivity, but it really is an impressive graphic accomplishment.
3. Ranged weapons. Well done. First person melee sucks in my opinion, in all games, so my feelings on that are less enthusiastic, but they did a nice job with weapon variety. I have hardly scratched the surface and have many guns and gun types to learn... Never once used an SMG or SR in my playthrough.
4. Cars. Variety is impressive, physics are fun-to-hilarious, and there is no drunken driving you can't run away from without any consequences. The body count on innocent pedestrians alone was staggering, for a V who mostly seemed like a good person. I blame the engram.
Anyways, they have improved the game. It isn't perfect, but it is a good game now in my opinion. If they commit to DLC and push for HoS/BaW quality level, this will turn the game into a 4/5 for me - they have some storylines that could use expansion, and some dangling endings that would make for great post-campaign DLC.

River Ward is a great character. Most of the quests involving him were good, and reminded me a bit of TW3. Had to friend zone the poor fella cause my female V will be aiming jor Judy. The voice actor for him did a phenomenal job.

The voice actor for him did a phenomenal job. Yeah I dropped him faster than butted toast falling face-down with my FemV, but he still gave me that sweet Crash revolver, though I think Kerry’s Archangel edges it out.
