Afaik the first time you ask for a refund (probably only for a reasonably inexpensive item) they will just refund you and tell you that you can keep it. After that they will expect you to send it back to them. I wouldn't assume this is some sort of gold standard for copies of CP2077

ZeeBoi posted:20 hours I think. Even if I had played only one minute they’d still deny the refund. They count the download as the factor for denying it. Knowing how call centers work, I would assume that they're being very slow in telling the workers to give refunds for this specific game. CDPR just put out that message this morning. It would be funny if they haven't actually talked to Sony though lol

I'm planning to play Cyberpunk on PC but I'm still not touching it until at least that second big patch. Sounds like there are some common design complaints, like badly integrated RPG character development, that I'm hoping get addressed once the more glaring bugs are fixed. In the meantime I'm replaying Sekiro (NG) for the first time since launch, god drat I love this game. It's so satisfying to trash bosses that once gave me so much grief. I took down Gyoubu, Genichiro, and the purple fucker at the bottom of the well on first attempt Also I just started Yakuza 7, only like a couple hours in but I'm already loving the new turn-based combat system. I'm not gonna miss the old realtime combat at all. Can't wait to kick the plot into gear and start building out my party. And I'm thinking about picking up RDR2, sitting out Cyberpunk by finally playing the big oxygen-sucking release that I sat out a couple years ago has a nice symmetry to it. Lots of great non-cyberpunk gaming ahead!!

I know it's "supposed to be" an RPG but shooting someone point-blank in the face with a shotgun and seeing a number pop up is hilarious and not what I want Ironically (with the first person discussion) considering that you have cyber-eyes and eventually have coprocessors that can calculate bullet trajectories to make all your shots nonlethal while your cyberdeck is doing wideband data capture on the health and disposition of every to target in the area, this is the game where damage numbers are more diegetic than ever lol

OK so after wrestling with Outer Wilds settings, I have finally gotten it to a point where I do not notice the stuttering (playing on PC - my rig is decent, no idea why the game stutters but it does) and have spent the last few hours exploring. Imhotep, I am starting to get why you love it. Also why everyone else loves it. Inital thoughts: - I have an i5-9600k, 16gb of RAM and an RTX 2070 with a gsync monitor, and yet the game stutters something fierce. No clue why. Worse when I scope over music, it sort of snaps and judders the whole screen. - Managed to get to the deep. Fell through the atmosphere and crashed my ship onto the structure inside. Got out to repair and suddenly whoosh the sea was gone  What a moment.Then translated some stuff and read about their cannon. Suddenly, waking up and seeing something launch from Gaint Deep makes sense. I saw that launch! who did it and why?! - Next life flew to the space station again, but failed and went zooming off into attlerock. Spoke to esker. He told me to stand north and when I did and two of my scope noises aligned, I suddenly had a thought. could I make everything align? I bet I could and I bet if I did it would make a lovely track. - Next life, because I ended up falling off attlerock and then crashed back down and broke every bone in my body, I got in the ship and decided to go for Brittle Hollow. Landed. Found a weird noise and while I tried to get to it I fell inside the planet. This was a mistake. Then I hit the weird black sphere and was seemingly carted right out into space from a white sphere. black hole and white hole? Then the best thing happened. My scope was out, all the sounds aligned and the music played as one. Wonderful! I then tried to get back to my ship and ended up floating into the sun. No idea what I should be really doing, but I find the space flight really difficult. Landing is more sort of dropping and I over shoot everything. The stuttering is so irritating and put me off playing for the longest time. I think I can deal with it though to keep playing.

You get good at Outer Wilds pretty quickly just from the repetition, eventually flying around and remembering where points of interest are become second nature. Make sure you're using the landing camera, it turns on extra piloting assistance you don't get with the normal view. As for finding stuff to do, the structure of the game automatically caps any wild goose chase at 20 minutes, which I found freeing. Go wherever, look at whatever, and don't worry about how to get back out.

It is a 500GB SSD it is installed on. Updated drivers. I spent hours trying to figure out why it hitches when I turn. Like you can tell when I move that it is not 60fps and I have no idea what to do. I genuinely do not. Not a single other game has this issue. I wish I could make it look as smooth as it does on PS4 but it does not work for me for some reason.

Bust Rodd posted:BP you do this with games you’re too cool to like as well! You basically behaved the same way about Cyberpunk lol! Incorrect. I like to spend time on my shitposts when discussing a game, especially if it's something I haven't played. I've hypothetically listened to thousands of podcasts this week with hundreds of people discussing their takes on 2077 and subsequently I've mixed some of their anecdotes in with my own commentary, which I think has been rather mild. The rest of the time I'm just laughing at the dankest memes of the year. Please don't conflate that with corn's posting gimmick! bows1 posted:I mean come on you’ve spent the last two days in this thread saying that CP is a broken unfinished unplayable game that was supposed to be third person when none of that is true.

The stuttering is so irritating and put me off playing for the longest time. I think I can deal with it though to keep playing. Yeah it takes some getting used to. Landing requires you to feather the match-speed button; it’s impossible to overuse that thing. As far as overshooting goes, keep in mind that your ship accelerates and decelerates with the same amount of force, so if you spend ten seconds getting up to speed you’ll need to reserve ten seconds to slow back down again before you reach your destination.

bows1 posted:Maybe its just me but I feel like the whole setup of the stats etc for each item and your character is much harder to decipher than say DS-R or BB. Way more numbers and I get confused more. It’s visually messy and still hard to parse even after playing and finishing every other game in the series. The muddiness of everything is really off putting and hard to look at. I watched a video of the Aldia fight and it looks like Pokemon Stadium There are way more weapons than DS1 but they’re further out. I thought I had the same issue with lack of interesting weapons but I think it’s just because I’m more familiar with DS1 (DS3 offered a lot of unique weapons close to the start though). I think they wanted to avoid cases of players sprinting to a weapon (zweihander in graveyard, gravelord sword from Nito if you’re quick).

fridge corn posted:I find it difficult to become emotionally invested in games so any game that relies heavily on the strength of its narrative is always going to have a mountain to climb with me I guess it's why Dark Souls was such an amazing experience for me. The game is incredibly light on story in a conventional sense, but it's still all there if you care enough to go looking for it. It's just what works best for me these days.

I’ve played so much dark souls for that reason, 2 especially. Devil May Cry and resident evil get it right too imo. Their cutscenes are usually fun enough I don’t mind them and they are typically short.

The hub-and-spoke design of DS2 means that you can pick a direction to get something early and use it on the rest of the spokes. You had even more options post-DLC/pre-SotFS where you started with the DLC keys in your inventory.

Dark Souls 1 didn't signpost it as strongly, but it worked the same way in a lot of places - you can go like three different places from the moment you are dumped in Firelink. It's a matter of taste, though. I just liked the intricate, interconnected world design of DS1 more, while some people really enjoy the straightforwardness of DS2.

Oh speaking of Cyberpunk, be aware there's a mission where UI elements could be stuck on your screen even long after the mission is over. It's called Lightning Breaks, and unfortunately it's part of the main plot so you can't just ignore it. Both the "Skip Ahead" button and buttons related to using a turret will remain on your screen for what seems to be forever. I tried different things to avoid it and had no luck. Either wait for a patch or live with it. I thankfully had a save just before starting the mission and only lost the progress I made in it.
