OFFICIAL Cyberpunk 2077 Game Discussion

Should we really expect excellent performance from day 1 for this year??
This is the 4th game I've seen a game with a more in-depth system requirements and none of the games seem to perform up to the specs they share.
Watchdogs legion ran like crap, AC Valhalla wasn't any better and COD Cold wars with RTX runs horrible too.
 
Hope not, but the hype it drummed up does not help.
The game was never going to stand up to the hype generated, that was an expected outcome.
 
Especially after the whole Keanu Reeves thing.

Or any RPG in the history of forever no. I don't for sure.

People are blinded by CDPR, but all CDPR has promised is that they will try their best for a good first time experience and to try their best to fix it after.

No one should be expecting perfection.
 
"Breathtaking!" We'll see about that.
 
Based on Tom's "review" and the poor performance results, this could end up unmaking CDPR
LOL, no. This is all based on state of game from 2 months ago. THAT is what in the wild. In any case, it’s not going to break CDPR.

Will post that a few days after launch. NVIDIA tried very hard to get me a prerelease key, but CDPR said no. Seems they are very careful with who they give keys to. Definitely wouldn't want to risk a bad review and drop in stock price from a media they have no experience with ;)
It seems all they had to do was a) look at your history of not leaking, b)look at your professional performance review, and c) look at the glowing in-depth review (and game of the year winner) by TPU (as reviewed by RCoon). They would have seen you are a very safe option for a key.

pc gamer review, not great+ a 50gb day one patch. So a big then big download, way to go
Read through the thread and you’ll see why. It’s not a bad thing. Just don’t preload if you ore-ordered. Better to download one file (which won’t be 100 GB), instead if overwriting much if what you already downloaded.

From a couple of yt reviews I've seen, the game is phenomenal, but buggy as hell. Definitely not day 1 purchase material. Then again W3 was buggy on launch as well and they did fix a lot of things fairly quickly.
 
I'm still playing WoW shadowlands , I'll pick this up in late winter or early spring. Looks promising from early reviews and I'm sure they will iron out any issues.

This says it all, and should be what peoole expect. Perfection will never happen.

I’m still in AC Valhalla with over 200 hours and only 62% complete. It might be a little while for me as well. Although I might just set it aside and play on the the 11th. I’ll see then.
 
So far the reviews I've seen on youtube say the game is good, just has a lot of bugs, but so long as they aren't game breaking I'm still looking forward to playing on Wednesday.

IIRC Witcher 3 at launch also ran quite poorly, especially with hairworks. A few years later and we have RTX, another nvidia extension. Performance will probably improve over time.
Many of the previews are from the console. In fact, I've not heard of any PC version leak. The reason is those console discs all had to be printed up months ago and shipped for the release date they would have had.
LOL, no. This is all based on state of game from 2 months ago. THAT is what in the wild. In any case, it’s not going to break CDPR.
Are you actually reading the posts or not? Every single review has the patch, and that's what we're talking about here, not leaks.
 
I'm waiting for the real deal. Not interested in watching others play who got their hands on it early. Got no interest in spoilers in the least.
I watched one review by IGN, which I found irritating, so skipped most of it because of the bloke's voice and another by The Washington Post (suggested by Google) which was very intellectual.
Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder anyway, so I'll also skip and wait for my own gameplay.

I'm still for sure buying it. The review is kind a opinion of the reviewer. And i will do what you said, even though i will be so tempted to pre-load lol
 
@bubbleawsome
Tom's "preview"...
As mentioned already, all of these results are without the planned day-0 patch, so things could still improve.

Whats shadowlands like? i don't think i havve a high enough toon for it though

Yep, are you reading in order? LOL. There’s different timeframes that different people are referencing. And as stated, the reviewer previews are not with release day patch.

So without that, people shouldn’t get totally worked up pro or con about graphics or bugs or franerate.

I'm not getting worked up over anything other than what the game is in a final state. I really want to play it but I remain critical of how much the game mirrors the early gameplay footage teased.
 
I'm torn on buying this game. It looks great but I highly doubt it's going to be anywhere as good as they have hyped this game up to be. After beating Half-Life:Alyx I couldn't even finish RDR 2. It's just so boring. I can't just say VR has ruined pancake games.. but Half-Life: Alyx and VR have ruined pancake games for me.. lol I really hope they will release some type of VR support at some point. I'm sure I'll buy it but not on launch or even full price with out VR support.

I hope Vorpx will support this game. I don't own Vorpx but this would make me buy it just to play this in VR. I still need to play the Witcher games.. lol

A very reasonable expectation. No doubt we shall see two extremes: one camp will think it is the greatest thing ever, while the other will want answers how it could be released in an unfinished state.

In the end, all CDPR can do is try to make sure they do their best to quash any remaining bugs quickly and please the majority of us in the middle.

Well COVID this year didn't help them out finalizing/bug fixing, and as a result I'm taking that into consideration (leeway.)

It's basically an on rail single player rpg. You progress through each zone in order with each having a story that links together. Blizzard performed a level squash so it's fairly easy to level up a toon. I like it but I like the single player aspect of it as opposed to more sand box MMOs.

Not reading the thread since I don't wanna get spoiled. But if y'all read the TomsHardware article on CP2077 performance here's some gopd news:

Unwatching the thread after posting this. Don't anyone dare reply to me. Talk amongst yourselves.
 
Guys, I'm sure some are aware now, it's already on preload (mine's purchased from Steam) and I'm preloading it now as I type this...

Day 0/1 patch, game ready drivers, lack of DRM, hopefully some optimisation guides from the likes of Digital Foundry and Hardware Unboxed too, should get the game preforming really reasonably compared to the previews we've seen, perhaps nothing miraculous, but with FPS this low across the board every fps here or there helps.

Any confirmation on dynamic resolution with FPS target? that would save the day for a lot of people.
