I've already got Big Picture Controller turned off, but disconnecting & reconnecting my controller after starting the game seems to have fixed it.

pentyne posted:Not having a single gameplay screen is pretty bad after years and years of teasing the game. It's less clowning on Bioware and more that the game has been scrapped and completely restarted at least once and recently several major people involved on it left the company. Yeah, seems like that game is stuck in Bioware's special version of development hell for at least another couple years. There's just not much reason to speculate on a game that's probably being rebooted for the third(?) time. The Dragon Age thread is pretty lively if one does want to discuss it though.

I played Invisible War on an ageing Xbox and it was not a good experience. Which probably puts it in line with how Cyberpunk plays on the old gen consoles now.

I think the problem with Cyberpunks perk tree would be greatly lessened if you had a wad of points to spend all at once, as it is you punch in a point for a usually tiny upgrade, with the knowledge that you can get the perk you actually want in like three levels and who knows how long that'll take. So then a half hour later you've got another point to spend, but it's like well I was into guns but I kept running into doors I couldn't hack and my carry capacity is too low, so maybe I should go for that instead? Just completely losing whatever character concept you had for your more immediate concerns. But since the boost per point is mostly very small it doesn't really feel like I'm adapting to the game through my learned play experience, and more just picking weeds. When/if I'm able to re-spec I can tell it'll feel a lot better to do it all in one blow. Still a really good game though, I don't have any doubts that'll they'll iron this stuff out

Relatively early into it, but so far Cyberpunk is fun, and doesn’t feel like it’s worse than Bethesda games for bugs at launch. I’m assuming that by the inevitable master edition or whatever in 2022 it’ll be an all time classic like tw3.

Oh yeah make no mistake Cyberpunk has a solid foundation and fantastic presentation. It's just kind of a mess on bugs, QoL things, UI, AI, and ancillary stuff. It's sad that the rpg system elements, including the skills and perks, feel like "ancillary stuff" but if the perks felt at all impactful then I might revise that opinion. It is, however, a Quite Good Fallout Replacement rather than the over hyped image people had in their heads. I actually like it a lot. Now if only there were a way to customize your appearance after chargen.

As someone who is currently in a New Vegas playthrough, Cyberpunk feels similar. Mainly in the variety of ways you can handle quests and how skill checks can wildly change the outcome of quests

Also make sure you got a Intel CPU since (apparently) Cyberpunk 2077 used an Intel C++ compiler which hinders optimizations if run on non-Intel CPUs.

From what I've seen of Cyberpunk it looks like it's a lot of mediocre gameplay with a pretty but ultimately inert (in terms of dynamic systems) open word. Just like Witcher 3 only without the main characters, side characters, world building and writing that made Witcher 3 overcome all of its shortcomings and end up being great. Maybe they've just been good because they had those books to lean on. On the plus side, the rest of the Yakuza series has been announced for PC next year (3-5 in January, 6 in March).

What I've seen fell pretty flat for me but then again that was only snippets. Still, unlike W3 Cyberpunk seems like a far cry from a must play. Maybe the Enhanced Edition in a year or two. For now I'm gonna use the time that has been free'd up for other games. Like Disco Elysium which I've been procrastinating on forever now.

Lt. Lizard posted:So basically, Witcher 3 at release? It feels extremely similar to Witcher 3, even in the ways that it's bad. The inventory is a nightmare to deal with, although they do let you sell all your "junk" pretty easily, which is nice. I haven't had any problems with the combat though. Pretty much just putting points into reflex and body, and buying perks in blades. Just walk up and use strong attack and most enemies die in one hit. Even in the main story mission where they take your weapons away, I just used the mantis blades upgrade to tear all the guards and even the big mech apart in a few seconds. There's also a perk in the blades tree that increases your armor as long as you're moving, and you can get heals from hitting bleeding enemies and from kills, so as long as you just keep running around hitting people, you can't die. It honestly feels like breaking the combat system, similar to going heavy into signs and getting all the best quen and yrden upgrades in Witcher 3. Any combat encounter is a complete joke, I never bother with stealth. The fixers are always calling me up after gigs and yelling about how I was supposed to be quiet or whatever, but I still get paid.

GamePass on PC loving up yet again. Xbox app can’t seem to validate my sub right now so every time I try to launch a GamePass game it just prompts me to join GamePass instead. I want to like this service but every time I use it something fundamentally fucks up (last time was almost losing my 50 hour WL3 save before doing file surgery). Also RE: CP2077, sounds a lot like The Outer Worlds where I’m not sure what the point of having loot or skill / talent points is when the options available to you are so anemic. In desperate need of some innovation in that space.

I think that a lot of games have Bioshock syndrome, where they try to copy Deus Ex's heavy generic loot without understanding why it's so good in Deus Ex. It's good in Deus Ex because the game throws tons of resources at you, but you can only carry so much of it. The constant flow of resources gives the player a lot of flexibility, but still makes you make interesting choices about how to approach things. In a more typical game with vendoring loot and trickling weapon upgrades, that sort of system can't really work. Deus Ex only made one real mistake with loot : having weapon upgrades. They have the unfortunate effect of causing the player to want to hold on to various weapons instead of treating them like every other resource and switching to whatever makes the most sense in a given situation.
