OFFICIAL Cyberpunk 2077 Game Discussion

[bubbleawsome]

Just as a side note to anyone planning to turn on DLSS because of that video, don't forget to turn off effects like film grain and chromatic aberration. Messes with the AI quite a bit it seems like.

I have been enjoying playing the game. With the RTX 2070 Super and Ultra settings with no RT I was getting around 50 fps. With the RTX 3080 I am getting around 85 fps. Might turn RT on and see what happens.
The only real grip I have about the game is the cut scene lengths and the long conversations. I have started to use "c" to skip a lot of the discussions, but then I am not tracking the story line. I just get impatient, wanting to go do something!!!

LMAO and here I've been sitting here totally engrossed in those longer passages. I'm all like "ooo, somethin's happening." ALWAYS more to do, you know? But those super well-done dialogue sections only come once! It's getting unhealthy to me. Sometimes I actually start to feel a bond with the characters, like I know them personally. It is just slice-of-life goodness. I think the animations really sell it. That and the way it's all taking place without pulling you out of the game world. It feels almost too much like I'm there at certain points. Night City may lack a lot of the minutia that fleshes out the world in the background, but all of those scenes they have generously peppered in do more to make the world feel lived-in than... whatever the hell arbitrary little things people wanted in the world to make it more 'authentic'.

Yeah. I too think that the constant dialogue helps you become more immersed into the game. I think for me, I only get an hour or two after the wife and kids go to bed to play so I feel as though I am in a time crunch

I put the game on hold just after the end of Act I and I'm still thinking about Jackie. I'm like, 'We could so go and break laws together'.

Me too!

I was enjoying their teamwork until he bought it. A bit like Jonah and Lara.

MC: is dying
Me: you will not die until i get all the coochies
Seriously at 50h playtime I have barely progressed into the main story at all, getting to know all the femme fatale is much more enticing

 

[biffzinker]

Had my first in game interaction with another guy over on jig jig street. I was actually trying to follow the quest hint about asking around. Later figured it out.

I did the same friggin thing but I was playing as female V and it was another girl. Literally just walked-up to the first joytoy looking person I could find, figuring she'd know what was what on Jig-Jig. Boy did she! But not exactly in the way I was hoping for at that moment.

 

[dyonoctis]

Jfc, River quest was somewhat creepy... but well written, the whole atmosphere felt like a whole new game "Night city detective" with a bit of profiling.

Playing as fem V I initially wanted to romance Judy, but "Hunter" had more impact on me than "Pisces",

Spoiler

(Evelyn also suffer from the Jackie syndrome: you have to say goodbye as soon as you met her)

and River is honestly cool for someone who doesn't take part in the main story. You just don't realize how dark Night City is until you are doing the side quest. Geezus, I still haven't finished the main story, but the sides quests are raising more and more questions about what is going on in that city...

Finally found the outer jacket that the MC has in the trailer

I would like to ask a question about Cyberpunk 2077 settings, would you guys be kind enough to give your inputs:

Would you rather play in "medium" preset with textures set to "High" and crowd density at "medium" @ 1920x1080 and get these fps:
Average framerate : 43.2 FPS
Minimum framerate : 29.7 FPS
Maximum framerate : 49.8 FPS
1% low framerate : 21.4 FPS
0.1% low framerate : 14.7 FPS

or
Would you play in "high" preset with textures set to "High" and crowd density at "medium" @ 1920x1080 but with Dynamic FidelityFX settings:

and get these fps:
Average framerate : 45.5 FPS
Minimum framerate : 38.4 FPS
Maximum framerate : 53.5 FPS
1% low framerate : 33.5 FPS
0.1% low framerate : 26.4 FPS

Which one would you prefer?
Thanks.

Digital foundry made content on optimal settings.

those fps are better it'll feel more playable with a higher min frame rate specially when you get into fights with lots of targets shooting at you

Thanks. I have never used Dynamic Fidelity FX before though I have used CAS in reshade in other games.
Would you say my DFidelity FX percentage of 80% (Min resolution) is good enough threshold between quality and performance?

If I may ask which one would YOU prefer out of the two I posted. I have an old haswell cpu and an rx580 so at the moment no setting works for me (it maybe also that I am reluctant to drop all settings to low/off; sorry not your problem).

Why from those two instead of the optimal settings? I would prefer, and do use, the optimal settings.

 

[Durvelle27]

Has anybody full completed 2077 yet. If so how long is the game with all side missions

Just did that one. River is such a cool, relatable guy. Too good for Night City. You want to be like him a little bit, or at least have friends like that. And yeah, the quest is daaaarrrk.

I had to pick Judy though. I don't really care about genders in video game romance. V is not me, but a character in a story about a city. Judy's character is just deeper, more subtle. I feel like I know River just by looking at him. Judy has mystery.

Spoiler

Naming that quest "Pisces" was a nice touch. And not just because it's latin for 'fish' and therefore, she dives. It actually encapsulates all that she is, and the story of her, The Mox, Clouds, and Evelyn. I had a chuckle at the idea-density of that choice in name. It works so well you think they had to have intended it from the beginning of writing those overlapping story arches, but that seems impossible. Pisces is the fish that Aphrodite and Eros (Venus and Cupid) transformed into in order to get away from Typhon, the serpentine giant and monster of all monsters. Their very presence is that of Typhon, the devourer of gods, much as Clouds devours dolls with corruption and brutality, stripping them of their power and beauty. Pisces is the liberator and protector of Aphrodite and her son Eros, a vessel-entity they form in order to dive into the Euphrates - Pisces. Is any of that lining up wayyy too close, yet? The Tyger Claws who control Clouds often feature serpentine dragons as prominent visual representation. Clouds and the dolls subservient are controlled, violated, and devoured by the monster that seeks to kill all of the gods. Jude wants to challenge the Claws in order to save the girls at Clouds (Aphrodite) after failing to protect her own Eros, Evelyn. She lamented Evelyns return to Aphrodite, who herself was endangered being outside of the Euphrates, where Jude herself cannot go and has no power. Throughout the story we see her take the role of a devoted protector of love, virtue, and freedom of spirit. A champion of art and love. She wishes only to live in the deepest depths of beauty, to share and uphold it without threat from those selfishly obsessed with power over such things. Let it flow, like a river. She deep dives BDs for the the girls at the Mox, the BDs being her very own Euphrates to swim to the depths of, guaranteeing the safety of her and the girls, whom she brings along into. She cares for them as though the ARE her, as though she does not exist otherwise. When Evelyn dies, she mourns the loss of a piece of herself. Your REAL introduction to her is an argument between her and the leader of the Mox, where she implores the Mox to take in random girls who showed up off of the street because they matter to her by mere virtue of existing.

I mean, her story is literally the myth of Pisces. I don't know any other way to say it.

And in astrology, a Pisces is creative, empathetic, and generous. But they are also emotional, impressionable, and reclusive. Judy is all of those things. And then the theming of her apartment is very aquatic, very much like the sign of the fish, child of Neptune. The Aphrodite and Eros connections also run deep through Clouds and The Mox. It's crazy. There a so many other little nods in there, I can't believe I didn't see it coming.

I just thought it was awesome, the way everything sort of converges on that as you go along. I wonder how many other references there are to greek mythology and astrology. I mean, there's the whole tarot thing, that I never did...

Yes, Judy character is deeper, she got far more time to get her character development. I even have a save file where I romanced Judy, but "Pyramid song" gave me second though about having V, with an uncertain fate, getting into Judy's life.

Spoiler

(I had to go back back after learning that you can save Takemura, him dying was already a bad ending in my book) Urghh, unless there's a full good ending everything about Judy is going to be bittersweet. That quest was supposed be a grand "goodbye", but then you are reeling her back into the chaos of night city when you are chaos yourself. Maybe V survive, maybe she doesn't, or maybe she does but with a catch.

Romancing her or not romancing her are always selfish choices given the context...actually any romance is somewhat selfish, but there's less at stake with River. Even beyond V, I ended up having too much sympathy for her as a person. She needs a break and a change of pace, but I don't know if V can provide that for her.

I'm going to go through every possibility, but I'm going with something less "heavy" for my first playthrough.

So i finished the main story its quite short. The one i chose sucked . I expected more from this game ...

You're not the first to state the ending was disappointing. Maybe the DLC fills in for the ending?

 

[X800]

There are 4 endings and you can play the ending every time different. I have tried 2 off them 2nd was nicer.

 

[Vario]

Wait a minute, that story sounds really familiar, but I can't put my finger on it...

A bit like the drug lord Amado Carillo Fuentes.

 

[nguyen]

oh boy I got played by CDPR, they sure know how to play with the players

Spoiler

Well TL;DR, in the quest for some erotic BD, I got scammed out of my hard earned cash and ended up in the scav's greasy hands. A side quest that trap horny players, who would have thought .
Kinda reminding me of The Witcher 3 where romancing both Yennefer and Triss ended up with semi bad ending.

 

[delshay]

This games is supposed to be Windows 7 compatible , .."DX12" on win 7. Has anyone tested this to see if it works?
