Honestly streaming services are probably a pretty good match for this game, it feels generally slow and mushy enough already for a little extra latency to not really change things. Well, thanks for reading the first and last post in this thread that even inadvertantly praised stadia

edit: I apologize for the accidental cursed snipe

The current PS5 version is just the PS4 game boosted, yeah? Any word when the actual PS5 version will be released?

This gave me the idea to go in and try and kill him now, but V just lowers his gun when it's pointed at him, yeesh.

Might have to go back before the mission and try a different approach.

Played the game for hours last night and got right up to the start of the big heist in Act I. Really enjoying it, but some of the design choices feel like such a wasted nod to genre conventions. Like, maybe I'm just not far enough in for the upgrades to feel interesting or meaningful, but there's so much junk/boring loot/containers full of meaningless garbage. Why incentivize picking up every ash tray and deck of cards by having a "sell all junk" button in shops? More importantly, who the hell is leaving decks of cards all over Night City? Why are vendors willing to buy all of this poo poo for 3 cyberdollars each, especially when they can walk out into any alley and find 3 more sets of them? Why does V hoover up all of this garbage (or at least have his cybereyes configured to highlight it all when in detectivecyber vision?)

The equipment so far feels samey and boring too, but hopefully that's just the fact that it's early in the game. It's going to be a little disappointing if most of the game is just trading in my [common] generic rifle of 75 dps for an [uncommon] generic rifle of 77 dps + 3 chemical damage, and unplugging my cyberarms of +10% carry weight to swap out for cyberarms of +12% carry weight <repeat for 60 hours with slightly higher numbers each time>.

The hacking seems a little underwhelming too, but I guess having something like the matrix from the Sega Genesis Shadowrun game wasn't in the cards since it'd wall off too much content for characters not specializing in hacking. In fact, I really just want a modern remake of the Genesis Shadowrun game.

Rereading these complaints feels dumb because I really am enjoying things so far and can't wait to get back and lose myself in the game again for hours - it just feels baffling how some of this stuff isn't more tightly designed after all the time under development.

The clip is below...but go rent Demolition Man. Tremendously good Sci-Fi action film that actually offered a lot in terms of good satire and action. It’s one of those...movies as a kid you like for the action and as an adult you like for the satire/good sci fi, much like The Running Man. Also while not sci-fi and parody vs satire, Street Fighter with JCVD.

Oh I’m actually happy with crafting, seems to be the way Prey was based on a goons description last night. Simple and doesn’t require tons of trying to find some rare rear end plant in a huge area.

I agree with this and have largely solved the issue by mostly ignoring junk, and only going after things highlighted green or above. I don't think I'm leaving too much money on the table as the junk prices are very small compared to mission pay outs.

But still it seems like its only in the game because its expected to have some sort of junk loot system.

I love that they crammed every single cyberpunk reference into this game that they could. Shodan in the perks, power glove ad from the 80's, etc.

Also, parked my car, did a mission, came out and a civilian spawned sitting in my car model, I tried to drive away and killed him. Got stuck on a guard rail, got out and was immediately gunned down by police.

Goty.

Edit: I'm kind of disappointed I didn't get to live the good life as a Corpo for longer than 20 minutes. I thought I hosed up my story line when I got to the montage, but that's just how the game goes for everyone. :(

how is geforce now? do you notice any lag at all? does it sync save games between the non-geforce now version?

i've been playing this on my laptop and it honestly runs great but i also have a massive 27" mac pro sitting on my desk that i've been using for work during quarantine and would be cool to do some gaming on it

for me there has been zero lag, but i did have to get on 5ghz wifi to have a low enough ping - i can ride a motorcycle at 175mph with every setting on ultra/psychotic and rtx on from one end of the map to the other and it is completely smooth. i use the gog version so it syncs my save back to the gog cloud and i can pick it up from the gog version of the game but it has been so good i abandoned my pc copy and now just play 100% on geforce now

My hesitation with the junk to mats skill is if it means you're basically sacrificing the option to sell for money instead. If you don't care about the crafting (maybe wise) the money is probably of more use. Dunno how the crafting item sell prices stack up though

yeah i spent most of this morning running around a couple city blocks ticking off side activities

i should probably get on with the story at some point but what if i need that green assault rifle in a story mission and i don't have it?

So, with some testing I have figure out the issue with the Cold Blood perk.

You only get a cold blood proc if you do NOT kill a person with a stealth takedown (neck crack/knockout). On TOP of that, you will only gain xp towards cold blood if you kill an ADDITIONAL person while you have a previous stack of cold blood up.

So, since I am playing on hardest difficulty level as a sneak person, I never earn XP towards this perk, because killing two people within 10s of one another is already a huge ask, and it not proccing on the stealth takedowns limits me even more (since literally all my kills are takedowns, excepting robots).

Sort of disappointing that the stealth stat perk doesn't work with stealth, but whaddyagonnado

Would you be happier accepting crappy perf / visuals and saying oh well or be happy endlessly troubleshooting different sliders to squeeze every last FPS out of your card? You know the answer deep within.

Credit where credit is due an impromptu police chase because you hit a pedestrian that hadn't loaded in yet is the kind of emergent gameplay that only eurojank can produce lol
