For my Cyberpunk 2077 is easily like a 6.5/10 or so. Still buggy at times for me which usually is fixed with a restart of the game. Characters get old with most of them being a little too tryhard IMHO. I don't like them and I'm tired of the story already. I think I have a few more main missions which I may need to finish after Christmas since I'm travelling soon enough. Shooting is decent enough. Skill system is kind of lame in a way. I highly, highly recommend if you play to put some points in engineering I believe and/or the hacking one. Just gives you a lot of freedom that way you wouldn't have otherwise. I usually love cyberpunk things, but for some reason this one is only hitting just a little bit. Just another overhyped game that I bought into, though I usually don't.

Are there any mods out there that put in Fox McCloud?

Theoretically possible, I suppose, but would be quite a feat to disassemble the Nintendo Switch version and frankenstein the Star Fox characters into the PC version (and obviously illegal).

 

I doubt anyone has tried. I wonder if people have even gotten the Arwing content to unlock running the Switch version in emulators.

Whew, did some side gigs, scored some eddies, bashed some gang skulls, got my street cred up to level 14 and unlocked the ability to buy a sleek new cyberdeck upgrade.

 

 

I'm going to be the hottest netrunner in all of Night City.

Someone's character name better be Johnny Mnemonic with upgrades like that.

That's my experience.  Ignoring any technical issues, the game itself I would rate about the same as Dragon Age: Inquisition.  Not in terms of game mechanics, but both are serviceable and fun games that are worth playing but won't be setting benchmarks on "This is how an RPG should be made".

 

The world is very well done, I'm generally enjoying the game play, the characters and story are good.  In RPG terms, I feel a bit shuttled along and railroaded but if I think of it more as a story-driven open world single player game than "role playing game" then it's good times.  Fortunately, I haven't been following the hype train for years and didn't enter with many expectations beyond the world setting and Keanu Reeves.

 

I think it's fine and playable now (on PC, anyway) or you're safe to wait if you feel like waiting.  Time may add some optimization patches but the core game play is what it is and it's not as though they're going to patch in distinct branching story paths for each origin or dramatically change the police AI or otherwise address some of the complaints people have.

So far in the early hours, I'm a huge fan of the upgrade and unlock system.   Your ability leveling makes sense, with all 12-15 of your ability trees being located under the the six skills that you can spend talent points in.  You can be a generalist, or you can specialize in certain areas like say hacking or assault weapons.  The (purchasable) cybernetics upgrade choices are interesting as well.  I have something to work towards:  completing side gigs and gang busts in order to make money for my arm upgrades (mantis legs or gorilla arms) and leg implants (double jump or powered-up jump).  I'm not sure how interesting these systems are going to be after the ~40 hour mark.  But right now I am really enjoying the options and the upgrade systems.   Side quests have never felt more rewarding; they're how you make your money, and you attain perk points and level your skills by leisurely playing the game.  Each skill or ability has its own experience accumulation.

 

I'm really enjoying CP2077 through my first 15 hours. 

 

The other interesting thing is that after this launch fiasco you can absolutely tell that they designed this game for PC first and foremost as the leading platform, with consoles being an afterthought.

Okay so Cyberpunk 2077 decided to bring in more interesting multi part sidequests later on. Bumped my grade a bit to likely 7/10 now. I've had so many random bugs playing from cars randomly exploding, to getting impaled by a random sharp edge on a wall. I will finish the multipart sidequests and the last main missions and be done with this game. It's OK enough and is likely the best cyberpunk game in a while, but it's not amazing me. I'm about a bit over 36 hours in and feel I will get about 10 more hours of good gameplay from it. The driving is improved a lot by getting better vehicles. Still sucks, but I can drive pretty easily in my Taxi now haha.

It's funny when I choke someone out, pick up their body to hide it, lay it down next to a planter or a railing, and then the body explodes and dies from the impact. 

[Souffrir]

A mere few hours after announcing that it would be releasing Taiwanese game Devotion (removed from Steam last year after a non-controversy the CCP decided they didn’t like), GOG responded to pressure from “gamers” (read: China) by backpedaling hard and retracting its decision.

Nice moral fiber there, CDPR.

But can it run Crysis load textures without glitching in Cyberpunk 2077?

Nothing says "Cyberpunk" like bowing to oppressive dictatorships.

Oh they're already plenty angry.  I personally picked a bad time to say "eh I'll just try this one on console" since it was free to me as bundle-in ..and I'm still waiting for the ability to actually purchase the card I want.  

 

Anyway, at least I know enough about the game to realize that it's not - for me, at least - the hyped generation-defining experience that warrants hardware upgrades.

So, wait...

Is that a bug? A feature? Or...both?

 

EDIT:

Don't know. Ain't bought that game yet.

Oh, it definitely is not.  I'm just amused that, after three decades of sparring and sniping between console and PC owners back and forth over prices, exclusives, technology, ports, best performance per dollar, etc it's "Well, my PC can play Cyberpunk 2077" that has suddenly people clutching their pearls and saying "This time you've gone TOO FAR, sir!"

Here's a 38" 4K curved ultrawide monitor for you nouveau riche Cyberspunk owners and your 3000xxx cardz: https://deals.dell.c...ductdetail/6q8t

 

If your wives start complaining, just tell them that you need it for making sure the CP2077 hooker has a wumbo dong before you pick her up. Monitor shouldn't be the only thing curved, if you know what I'm sayin...

Joke's on you. I traded my firstborn for one.

 

 

I've only played a couple of hours of Cyberpunk, and that's in part because it just isn't that compelling. That may be a personal problem. I'm struggling to find too many games things that I'm drawn to spending hours and hours on at the moment. Miles Morales was more Spider-Man, and I really enjoyed Spider-Man. The gameplay under the neon-vomit color scheme and pseudo-GIbson neologisms just isn't grabbing me. It's certainly not as interesting or fun as The Witcher. :shrug:

Dude, my entire PC (around $1635) almost cost that much!

 

"Hell no" @ that price.

($1540 for that monitor).

Pretty generous holiday deals from Ubisoft ... they must want to make up for releasing Cyberpunk in its current condition /s

[Baltore]

Cities: Skylines is first Epic unlock. Remember, new game each day.

 

EDIT: Also, you get a $10 coupon when you "buy" it.

None of the game pages on the store are loading for me. Apparently people are very excited about Cities: Skylines. 

[Syntax Error]

Epic seems like a bad platform for Cities: Skylines since you miss out on the heaps of Steam workshop content but, hey, free is free and you get the coupon.

[shrinerr]

hey can i stack my egs coupon and ubisoft coupon for SUPER SAVINGS???

[MysterD]

This might be some of the best deals at Epic on some games, after the $10 coupon is in usage:

 

Disco Elysium (which later should gets free upgrade to Final Cut version next year) = $14

Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order = $14

Star Wars: Squadrons = $24

Crysis: Remastered = $8

State of Decay 2: Juggernaut Edition = $8

Mafia 1: Definitive (Remake) = $20

Death Stranding = $20

Red Dead Redemption 2 = $30.19

 

Some games end up at $5 or so after the coupon:

Afterparty

Ancestors

Rune II: Decapitation Edition

 

 

EDIT:

I screwed-up, thinking some stuff was $15 or so. So, I fixed the 2nd part of this post.

Sorry, I malfunctioned at some junction. Too many crossed wires or something.

Or bad hard-drive sectors and failure.

You guys touted Fanatical's superiority too much, now they're making bad bundles just like Humble: https://www.fanatica...le/nitro-bundle
