#

one strange game

barren pewter
#

isn't that an optimization issue?

keen urchin
#

My Radeon VII runs at 99% 1800 MHz, but only draws about 140W
CPU is ~60% for the busiest thread

#

My RAM isn't tuned yet because BIOS issues

barren pewter
#

I haven't run the game with afterburner open yet, but I can say that performance ain't bad, but my parts get warm at most

#

fans are dead quiet

#

meaning little load

#

barely spinning at best

placid garden
#

my case fans dont ramp since my cpu doesnt even get that hot

#

so gpu turns into a furnace

barren pewter
#

the hottest running part in my system is the cpu, but that's because I cheaped out on cooling

#

amd wraith for the win

#

gpu hits low 60's at full load

placid garden
#

240mm aio keeps things nice and cool

#

gpu hits 80C under full load

keen urchin
#

For all it's worth, 50-60 FPS feel pretty fucking smooth in Cyberpunk

barren pewter
#

so true

keen urchin
#

Like, much better than 140 FPS in Borderlands

barren pewter
#

mhm

keen urchin
#

God, I hate Borderlands

barren pewter
#

borderlands feels choppy no matter how you slice it

keen urchin
#

It just NEVER feels right

barren pewter
#

ba dum tss

#

choppy no matter how you slice it

#

bad pun

keen urchin
barren pewter
#

you're right though

#

I found my best borderlands experience was on an xbox one

#

at a locked 30

keen urchin
#

Hell, I don't even really notice when I drop below Freesync range (48-144)

placid garden
#

borderlands with friends on the xbox 360

barren pewter
#

hm

#

with friends

#

what are "friends"?

keen urchin
#

Friends? rooWut

placid garden
#

i have no idea if my freesync is configured properly on my monitor

keen urchin
#

Lel, with Nvidia, it's hit and miss

barren pewter
#

yup

keen urchin
#

And might even turn off if the monitor goes to sleep

barren pewter
#

my nvidia card is doing great with freesync though

placid garden
#

my monitor has some compatibility with novideo stuff, but idk how well it works with it

#

like I can run g-sync on a freesync 2 monitor

#

if I tinker with the other presets I get some mad ghosting

#

like I'm tripping on drugs or something

barren pewter
#

hm

#

and you've tried tripping?

#

jk

#

that don't sound good

I love this kind of corpo documentation

Do gog let me transfer my cp77 license?

#

ik its drm free

keen urchin
#

It's probably an uncommon case, and they'll have to know they need to implement that

bleak pike
#

but if i remember correctly

#

you could claim it some games

#

on the account from steam

#

ye no

its freaking me out, man! ur so freaking white

#

so i tried out a new game called maid mansion. its a descision making visual novel. i dunno, tried a few passes but i think all endings end up with "ur fucked, but in the dead kind of way, not sexy kind of way"

even as an open world rpg, with an AI dumb as rocks and not really much interaction other than the 'gigs' the pimps give ya, there really aint much to do in there

even saints row 3 had random events happening

ornate cedar

They do all feel very similair though

#

yea but its random. thats 1 plus over cyberpunk ๐Ÿ˜›

#

and dare to say that johnny silverhand is more interesting than johnny gat. johnny gat got a freaking lazy chair from hell.

#

also, i think i found keanu reeves most enjoyable moment. in a random gig on the warf you need to help a monk who unvoluntairily got implants. johnny says something stupid, and you tell him to fuck off. he flips you off. you flip him off, and then he double flips you off

#

you even see johnny smile to his heart's content

I have never played or really cared enough about Saints Row

I got no idea what the game's about

forgetablle character. died because his head infected the city or something

he...

#

he died in a plane crash trying to fight a belgian gang lord

ornate cedar
#

Didnt fall for it.. nicely done

#

it was a three gang syndicate wuth the Belgium Gang lord at the peak. to be more correct.

#

Even more correct dead after you are done with them

#

Syndrow 3 was good. Four wa playable but it felt like 3 but with superpowers

proper cargo
#

yea. 4 was shite

#

"tutorial introducing vehicle customization. running is faster than car duh "

its obvious saints row 3 was the height of saints row ingenuity. 4 was overdone

#

not innovative enough

#

wait

so they did what any perfectly healthy game studio did. they remade saints row 3

barren pewter

I should play saint's row 3 again

i dont like the remake at all. their cartoony faces was a saints row trademark. they made the faces too realistic in the remake

#

I got all the dlc

#

so, lots of fun inbound

ornate cedar
#

From the entire series?

barren pewter
#

I also loved saint's row 2

#

that game was hot

#

loved the septic avenger mini game

#

where you are given a turret that shoots sewage and need to de-value the property in an area enough to complete the level

ornate cedar
#

Never played the second one but havent met anyone with a grudge towards saints row 2

#

Speaking of older games getting nostalgic again towards the games i played to death when I was just a young humanoid

#

Spartan: Total Warrior was really great and had an arena mode to waste many hours with
True Crime: New York City felt really indept and enging then.
The Urbz sims in the city, did not undertstand it much but the peeing animation kept me goiing.
BLACK. Really satifing gun audio design and had a few playthroughs with it.
Conker: bad fur day. poop humour untill the vapire level and pussied uit

#

Also this flogger game that i played when i was like 2 years old, so cant remember enough to find that one. It had a train level, spooky halloweeen fibes, had to collect some orbs and not die.

Speaking of, found an interesting review for a third-person shooter game called TheDawn

fallow bronze
#

sigh.. i dislike joke reviews, especially the memey ones :/

feral ferry
#

If you ask me "Recommended/Not recommended" is not a good enough rating system

#

Same way "1/10" is also a weird one

tough jay
#

I don't mind the jokey ones, it's not like the percentages recommend / not recommend are a good indication anyway.

#

Game has some controversy > low rating

feral ferry
#

Personally though I feel like there should be no rating

#

Just written reviews

#

No score to give, just type it out

proper cargo
#

Cyberpunk had a save file size limit causing the corruption?

#

Wow

hollow badge
#

Sadly rating systems with 1-5 or 1-10 eventually turn into
1 = bad (or good)
2-x = ? why did you rate this
x = good (or bad)

tough jay
#

1-10 is good for individual reviews, not for simple aggregates.

#

because a 1 or 10 have a much bigger impact on the score than having a 6 or 4

#

that is a general problem with customer reviews, yea.

#

you only leave a review if you are either very satisfied or hate it most of the time.

#

With a star system you get to the awkward situation where someone thinks it's okay, nothing special leaves a 3 star rating and pulls the score down.

fallow bronze
#

"ah, mine wont be that bad!"

#

"how bad can it be?"

tough jay
#

I tend to just look at what people say, if multiple people complain about the same thing, there may be something wrong.
Generally for me it's mostly about filtering crap out of things that mostly good positive review spam.

#

But yea buying something with mostly negative reviews and a lot of them is kind of questionable.

orchid prism
#

In the P&P rulebook cyberpsychosis is a result of going absolutely ham with cybernetic implants. Not because you lost a limb in an industrial accident - But because you asked someone to physically remove a leg or an arm to IMPROVE yourself.

#

In 2077 I think the only people who don't like cybernetics as a concept are those purist monks.

It's a widely accepted way of getting prosthetics to fix injuries or defects. It's when you try and improve on the base human some people irk.

proper cargo

well, thx for ruining that sidequest for me

im still in the middle of finding out what causes cyberpsychosis ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

proper cargo
#

well, some people embrace cybernetics like its their kink

#

so a fluid replacing blood resulting in more efficient energy transfer

ornate cedar
#

Didnt they intend on that. Switching to another medium requires adapting some espects. Like the loss of interactivity when a movie is made based on a videogame.

orchid prism
#

Mhmm.

#

Hacking is also very watch dogs' like in the game.

#

It's a bit more like the ice bath scenes in the books. Not quite as involved but a mix.

ornate cedar
#

The best methology towards changing towards an other medium is to understand what made it good at its core and how to translate that into the new works.

#

Crafting/Item stats are all over the place.

#

Keeping items is a ridiculous chore - I hope they make it worth it at some point. Because putting enough points into crafting to be able to match random stuff is nuts right now.

proper cargo
#

they know to balance things up. just akes a while

#

i remember the witcher 3 original crafting mode to be 1 huge mess that only die hard fans knew how it works

#

then they simplified it. drastically.

#

i can only imagine they will do the same in cyberpunk. crafting aint viable right now. you get too few resources randomly, need to pay much for vendors crafting materials, and no guarantee the next random drop wont be better than to upgrade ur current weapon

#

right now, simply picking up the next gun is your most viable option

keen urchin

orchid prism
#

You're going to struggle just to keep a single item up to spec.

#

Especially if it has a rarity tier of some kind, because then it also requires those materials on top.

#

It is nigh impossible to upgrade rare or legendary items for most of the game.

proper cargo
#

not to mention the requirements

#

also needed to upgrade legendary items

#

so you get any legendary gear early game, or get legendary scematics early game, you wont be able to use it for a while anyway

keen urchin
orchid prism
#

That's kind of beside the point.

keen urchin
#

Never upgraded my Fenrir, the Fire dot still kills everything. And my overture easily oneshots too, without having any perks to it

orchid prism
#

You will still see a random grey quality pistol do twice that damage.

keen urchin
#

Nope. I've checked and they scale just the same. There's no random

#

It's just level and rarity

orchid prism
#

My Katanas and pistols doing upwards of quadruple the damage compared to iconic ones from early game heavily disagrees

keen urchin
#

Ever upgraded them to your current level?

orchid prism
#

That's the whole point of this discussion. I can't. Because I don't have thousands of components to do so

#

FFS lul

keen urchin
#

I have like easily 20k+

#

Dunno what to do with

#

Loot more junk

#

Junk gives you a ton if mats

#

Most food, too

orchid prism
#

Doesn't help me when I need rarer mats.

#

Common mats are a dime a dozen.

keen urchin
#

Upgrade them?

orchid prism
#

You need to specialize heavily into crafting for that.

#

16 levels into Technical to be specific

keen urchin
#

I had Technical Ability leveled anyway

#

A few more points didn't hurt my bottom line

#

In fact, it's more useful than combat abilities to me

#

Damage wise as well

orchid prism
#

"I specced heavily into crafting, so crafting isn't an issue for me"

That's nice - The rest of us are still unable to keep even a single item up to spec compared to picking through the corpses ๐Ÿ˜›

keen urchin
#

Well, your choice to go with a build that sucks at crafting, to be fair

#

Mine sucks at melee

#

Crafting hardly helps with thst

orchid prism
#

Speccing into crafting should make it better and easier. Not "possible"

keen urchin
#

Well, game clearly tells you that you need to invest in crafting to do high level crafting from level 1

#

No surprises

orchid prism
#

You're missing the point so severely it's not even funny at this point xD

#

Problem : My gun isn't doing enough damage.

S1: Spec heavily into crafting to make it possible to upgrade components and basically ignore rarity.

S2: Spend a fortune on raw components from a dealer, because of course raw scrap is worth more than the weapons you build them into.

S3: Pick up literally any random gun on the ground from a random thug.

keen urchin
#

I guess? I think the system is good

#

Spec, pay, or loot

orchid prism
#

Those are not well balanced or good alternatives to each other.

#

Genuinely try and start over without speccing heavily into Crafting, and see how long you can keep an Iconic weapon before you give up.

I dare you.

keen urchin
#

I never bothered with them yet.
I'll upgrade them when I am max level, because they get level matched during upgrade

#

I just break down my old weapon and make a new one if I need to

#

That's cheaper

#

So, your point is:
I don't want to have rely on RNG for new weapons, but also don't want to invest money or skill points for always leveled up weapons?

Quick rant: Why is it that a game that generates enough funds to sustain itself has issues with cheaters & bots, content updates, bugs, and the community overall is a piece of shit, is somehow still alive, and why the hell am I still playing it?

The game is free.

I don't know why I play the game. I enjoy it, but the fact that game itself has gone to a shithole makes me wonder if I actually do enjoy it, or if I'm playing it due to the fact that I had joy previously.

Been playing the same shit since 2012 or so and can never break that mold officially. It's a hard cycle to break especially with the state of modern games

dense pond
#

Yep. I haven't bought a game in ages.

dense pond
#

Still sadly doesn't resolve the problem at hand. There's the problem of having to cough cough borrow certain games, either due to DRM or some other non-sensical bullshit, games either not running on Linux, games with their oh so wonderful anti cheat, and finally, there just aren't that many great games out. Oh and friends are an issue I guess, but that's my own problem.

#

So honestly I wonder what to do. Stop playing games? Sure, but what the hell do I do meanwhile? Find a game? Pretty much mission impossible. Just a headache at the end of the day.

#

There's also the other problem of steam killing off their own product. Can't access the properties tab anymore. Oh and they are slowly being consumed by China (as in, conforming to China's specifications).

#

i didnt knew you were a civvi type @feral ferry

feral ferry
#

I don't like Civ6

#

I tried it and it was meh

#

I do love Civ 5 to bits though

proper cargo
#

my love for civ ended with civ 4. though i agree, the unit spam was a bit too much, but limiting the field of play to only 1 unit per square was a bit too much. after civ 4, they also start abusing their dlc way of life. where in civ 4, religion was added to add a new mechanic to the game, in civ 5 it was made a paid dlc. therefor, i see it as a clear case of cut content.

#

and such games i mostly played with my nephew and his friend groups, however, because i have work and most of them were still going to school, our gaming times were too different, so they eventually stopped playing them with me

feral ferry
#

Meh I got it for 5 bucks the whole Civ 5 collection

#

For that reason it's a steal

#

Never tried previous games and don't want to try them either

proper cargo
#

ofcourse

feral ferry
#

The only game of the old times I love is HoMM3

#

Since that was the only HoMM game that didn't suck

proper cargo
#

homm?

#

heroes of might n magic. ahh

feral ferry
#

Best game

#

3DO.. new world computing

#

Damn this thing takes back to better days

#

When games were simpler

#

But a lot more enjoyable

proper cargo
#

man, cyberpunk is more broken than i thought. there is this 1 quest where you get a bd, but you can test it with his device, which is already fishy. so there is an option to try it with your own device. however, you cant. projekt never added that feature to the game to watch braindances outside of the storymissions

feral ferry
#

It's not broken

#

Just unfinished

#

The game as it shipped is imo on par with Legion/Valhalla in terms of features

#

However what it could have been, is Game of The Century type of experience

#

Dunno I wouldn't have minded a 2025 release date for it

#

Just give me an amazing game

fallow bronze
#

^ this

feral ferry
#

Dunno I've never preordered a game

scarlet wing
#

Pre ordered cyberpunk

#

Got what I expected and enjoyed the shit out of it

#

Like 120 hours in it

tough jay
#

If I buy it after the first major discount I will have a less buggy / cheaper version of the game, which also possibly has some good extra content.
Only thing I have to sacrifice is that I play other games I enjoy right now, instead.

scarlet wing
#

Yea I had nothing to play and was pretty excited

#

Ran into minimal bugs although there is some stuff to be desired I have faith they'll go the witcher 3 route

#

Pretty much same exact launch just with more coverage

tough jay
#

I have a backlog that is way too long, Playing Elex right now.

scarlet wing
#

All the games I want come out this hear

#

Year*

tough jay
#

It can be really worth it to also look at older games you never played imo.

scarlet wing
#

Sons of the forest, hitman 3, new FNAF back 4 blood

feral ferry
#

Sons of The Forest?

#

Yeah low expectations

scarlet wing
#

The Forest 2

feral ferry
#

They shipped Forest 1 broken, they'll ship Forest 2 broken

scarlet wing
#

Trailer they dropped is all gameplay footage and looks good

#

Honestly

#

I have more fun playing broken games half the time

#

Bugs are just funny

feral ferry
#

^^^

#

Which is why I love Skyrim

#

Skyrim's prolly my favourite game

scarlet wing
#

New trailer

#

They using new UE

tough jay
#

Except for skyrim you pretty much need the console because of getting stucks, quests breaking and some really horrible stuff.

scarlet wing
#

So better physics and lighting maybe RTX

feral ferry
#

A lot of that trailer iirc is scripted

tough jay
#

Visual glitches are fine but some bugs are just frustrating.

scarlet wing
feral ferry
#

"for skyrim you pretty much need the console"
" getting stucks, quests breaking"

#

Yeah no

scarlet wing
#

I think the building animations aren't scripted

feral ferry
#

Never had that happen

scarlet wing
#

It's just that building animations

#

Skyrim is fun but

#

I always turn into a stealth archer

#

Very bad

feral ferry
#

I heard the digging animation was really bad

fallow bronze
#

wasnt the forrest an early access game?

scarlet wing
#

Yep

feral ferry
#

For years

#

Like 4 years

fallow bronze
#

so... shipped broken is a given then :p

feral ferry
#

Yep

scarlet wing
#

What isn't early access for years what

feral ferry
#

Cyberpunk is so, yeah what isn't lul

scarlet wing
#

Cant wait for it tho

feral ferry

There was a story????

scarlet wing
#

Yea lol

feral ferry
#

I thought it was just killing mutants

scarlet wing
#

No

fallow bronze
#

feral ferry
#

The story was alright

#

The secret shit below the canyon or volcano I forgot

#

Was a good twist

scarlet wing
#

Somewhat right lol

#

Love the vibes the trailer gives tho

#

And we got that new horizon dawn game

feral ferry
#

That's exclusive to PS5

#

Though none of you really mentioned games I'm excited about

#

looking at the cyberpunk wiki

#

especially what happened in between with the corporate wars

feral ferry
#

Well

#

Arasaka came back to life

#

Thing is

#

Militech is so much more powerful than Arasaka

#

Their combat science is beyond Arasaka

#

But Arasaka is more of a Musk type organisation, but in the shell of a Facebook. ||Saving the corporates from death.||

Not even Stalingrad

It's just a place they played.

I guess they liked Lenin over Stalin... something something purge ๐Ÿ˜„

proper cargo

not like lenin has clean hands

feral ferry
#

I mean why not Petrograd then

orchid prism
#

Naw - But Stalin is in more recent memory.

#

You'll have to ask the author ๐Ÿ˜„

#

He's American. And as I understand most of the non-US stuff is from later addon books as afterthoughts.

feral ferry

Eh St. Petersburg had a whole lot names ๐Ÿ˜„

That song is amazing

orchid prism

What pon pon? It's on one of the radios.

#

Probably used in a side gig as well somewhere.

feral ferry

Ah

i think it was morro rock radio where i heard all the anime songs play

But why is it so good

Quadra afaik is a car maker

proper cargo

why do they get a sticker and militech doesnt!

orchid prism

Yep. Out of Detroit.

feral ferry

Well Militech's involvement in the story is marginal

orchid prism

It's basically Cheverolet*

MARGINAL?!?!

That was Militech's strike team

But yeah Militech's appearance in small

#

In the main story

proper cargo
#

Mansen. Why dont you sit in this chair, hu?

feral ferry
#

You see them in Nomad opening sequence, but not much afterwards

#

Sometimes they have random encounters

proper cargo
#

you steal a freaking tank from militech

feral ferry
#

And certain sidequests

orchid prism
#

That's Arasaka my dude.

#

In the nomad.

proper cargo

no

#

you steal a militech tank

feral ferry
#

Nope the border outpost is Militech actually

#

If you go back there it's all militech

proper cargo
#

yea. militech secures the borders

orchid prism
#

Uh no.

feral ferry
#

And yes you do steal shit from them

orchid prism
#

I have the receipts every time you make dumb claims like that ๐Ÿ˜›

#

The cargo is ARASAKA.

proper cargo
#

arasaka gets involved after you crossed

#

but border security is militech

orchid prism
#

Not quite.

#

But yes.

feral ferry
#

Actually

orchid prism
#

It got a bit muddled after NUSA literally annexed Militech.

#

So... yes but... it's complicated.

feral ferry
#

@proper cargo Replay the game from nomad beginning

#

Scan the damn patrol guards

proper cargo
#

i think i still got a save from there

feral ferry
#

And still, Militech plays a minor role

#

They don't really contract you or interact with you

proper cargo
#

but its a role non the less

feral ferry
#

You just kill their soldiers sometimes

#

And steal their shit

orchid prism
#

And we're back to Marginal ๐Ÿ˜„

feral ferry
#

Afaik you only interact with them once, and that's the All Foods

@proper cargo where do I get the comrade's hammer?

#

where?

proper cargo
#

im not sure anymore.

barren pewter
proper cargo
#

maybe the wiki already knows

#

there we go

barren pewter
#

ok

#

I gotta find the spec and build the damn thing

#

and holy cow

#

I got enough crafting components for 10 of these

#

I clearly have too much shit in my inventory

#

like always

#

ok

#

now for the fun part

#

I have to splice my Fallout New Vegas files and hopefully remove a massive mod

#

so I can reinstall it without botching it AGAIN

#

7th time's a charm?

#

ok

#

I've removed my new vegas install and all files in the steamapps file folder

#

hopefully it worked

proper cargo
#

i dont get it

#

you need to reinstall new vegas?

barren pewter
#

I bricked my TTW install

#

I needed to remove all files that were ttw

#

or anything that was not NV files

#

so delete the game

#

delete all other files tied to it

proper cargo
#

cant you just do an integrity check?

barren pewter
#

that takes effort

proper cargo
#

and reinstalling the entire game doesnt?

barren pewter
#

nah

#

2 clicks

#

integrity check is at least 3 clicks

#

it's already at 15%

#

besides, files can get whacky after a few attempts at modding

#

so I try to start with a fresh install every time

#

which is why I've installed new vegas 7 times this week alone

#

yay

#

I've bricked one mod install six times so far

proper cargo
#

maybe its the mod that is bricked

#

dont ya use vortex?

#

lol. i was just thinking. too bad i cant put a silencer on comrade's hammer. but then i thought, the body exploding out of nowhere would be pretty loud anyways

barren pewter
#

TTW has it's own installer

#

and that's the only mod I use

#

it's the whole package

#

bug fixes, content and gameplay improvements

keen urchin
#

Why do I have extremely noisy SSR after 1.06?

#

Looks like those black and white spots on old CRT TVs

#

Becomes like that if the reflection angle is like 120 degrees or more

barren pewter

holy crap

barren pewter
#

like someone covered the fenders in dirt and covered them in polish

or rain

still

#

just gross

freaking brigitte

if she wasnt acting like she had a lantern pole up her ass, she wouldnt be dead now

damn. comrade's hammer is stronger than i thought. with a bodyshot, i dropped placide from 100 to 30% hp

#

its just not right

#

that thing is stronger than overwatch

#

and i havnt even modded it

#

and then there is this fuckin cheat

#

the gun only has 1 bullet. every bullet deals double damage

#

damage like that should be freaking banned

barren pewter
#

dang

#

that's awesome

weak cypress
#

So is this game the next Morrowind?

barren pewter
#

yesn't

#

in terms of being completely broken, yes

#

in terms of being a great game, not really

orchid prism
#

Yes to both.

#

Both broken magical pieces of madness ๐Ÿ˜„

barren pewter
#

mhm

#

with bobs and vagene

proper cargo
#

hmm yes

#

bobs

#

to be honest, i see the potential of cyberpunk

barren pewter
#

same

#

it's just lacking in side quests

#

and the bugs and glitches, holy fuckballs

proper cargo
#

side quests enough. its just that they arnt meaningful

#

and too small

barren pewter
#

also, maybe just a pinch of game balance for better flavour

proper cargo
#

a pistol dealing 14k damage

barren pewter
#

game balance is like salt

#

you want just a bit

#

for flavour

#

too much and you might as well throw it out

proper cargo
#

its just that

#

i receive random threats like this, yes?

#

doesnt mean shit, cause that aint in the game

#

you can piss off whoever you want, and there will be zero concequences

barren pewter
#

yup

#

but it's still funny

#

it's spice

#

adds flavor
