Never played the first one but 2 looks pretty impressive. Bosses look cool and dynamic. And I mean it even has basic stuff like buff and debuff indications lol.

I have to go back and watch parts of ExileCon but there were a few segments that are receiving some praise on the internets that I am interested in watching. Item design and Skill icon art showcases were supposedly really interesting.

It was 100% worth it for $80. You’d be crazy not to buy it for $20.

One of the best games in years.

I would probably wait until Phantom Liberty comes out in September to play Cyberpunk. Will almost be an entirely new game at that point with how much they're changing. Maybe I'm overstating that a tiny bit, but I stopped my playthrough halfway in and uninstalled it once I read about the new DLC and what CDPR is reworking in the base game.

But for 20 bucks right now, nothing wrong with playing it in it's current form either with all the updates it's had (and mods if you want to go that route). Just for me personally, I'll be getting Phantom Liberty anyways, and I have plenty of stuff to play right now, so I'm willing to wait a couple more months.

Oh yeah, at launch it was worth $80 (if you were going to play it on PC, admittedly). Given all the fixes since v1.6 was released for the consoles, it's overwhelmingly good value at $20.

I finished Cyberpunk last summer on Xbox and it ran perfectly fine from beginning to end for me and I imagine a year later it's even more polished on all platforms. As with the others I really enjoyed the game.

I just started playing Remnant 2 and I usually hate Souls like games because I'm absolutely terrible at them... and I'm terrible at this game too but I can't put it down.

I have probably died 438 times but the gameplay and RPG elements really make it a solid experience.

I'm playing it on XSX right now (I am assuming it functions the same on PS5). I'm about 15 hours in and it's growing on me everyday. The game seems to function perfectly fine. The only technical issues I have experienced is characters talking over each other if I press the skip dialogue button at certain times. But no crashes, no glitches, nothing that plagued it since day 1 release. Gorgeous graphics on 60fps mode.

The game itself is pretty fun and gets better the more I play. Took a while to get going, but I'm pretty addicted to it now. I was a sucker who paid full price for it on release day, so I sat on it before upgrading consoles and having the patches fix most issues. For $20 it would be a mistake to not get it.

I wish Cyberpunk was third person. I can't play first person games.

I'm usually the same way, but somehow managed to make Cyberpunk work. There is a janky mod for third person in Cyberpunk though, but I haven't tried it myself. Obviously if you're playing on console that doesn't work.

I just wish they had New Game+ so I could run it through once more with a little extra muscle before Phantom Liberty.

I hear PL is the first and last DLC. So, hopefully they get rolling on #2 and have learned a few things from this one.

I watched some gameplay videos of Cyberpunk. I can’t do first player based off the videos. Even at the reduced price it’s not worth it.

Another reason to wait I guess. See if modders can fix it down the road like Jedi Survivor.



https://www.pcgamer.com/starfield-pa...-is-not-happy/

The nixxing of rival implementations is an accusation AMD hasn't actually denied, but it has skirted the question when asked whether blocking the likes of DLSS and XeSS are functions of AMD sponsorship. For its part, Nvidia explicitly stated that it "does not, and will not block, restrict, discourage, or hinder developers from implementing competitor technologies in any way."

The reaction to the announcement of the AMD x Starfield partnership has not been particularly positive even on the r/Amd subreddit, often a bastion of support for everything the red team does. A lot of folk are invoking Jedi: Survivor as exemplary of how bad things might be for Starfield's launch. So yeah, things are actually actively hostile out there.

It's actually more measured over on r/nvidia, where there just seems to be an air of resignation to the fact it's going to have to rely on modders to squeeze some extra performance out of the game.



https://wccftech.com/whats-up-with-t...titles/?dark=1

The only problem is that gamers on NVIDIA camp are being punished for not having DLSS support integrated into their favorite games. Considering the number of bad PC ports that we have gotten this year, upscaling technologies can assist a lot in boosting performance but having just FSR and leaving out DLSS or XeSS support only means that you are hurting gamers and not NVIDIA or Intel in the process.
it's funny, because there have been some reports that XeSS on AMD cards flat out outperforms FSR on AMD cards

Yeah, the environment looks/feels so much better when you hop in a car and can toggle to third person. Too bad there is no 3rd person during regular gameplay. IMO the funnest part about other 3rd person games like GTA is actually seeing how your character interacts and reacts with the environment. Also all the customizations like clothing (or lack of), facial features and other physical traits are completely wasted. Huge miss IMO. Maybe a future update will allow for 3rd person, who knows.

I generally like the first person perspective, but combined with the movement in Cyberpunk it just feels weird. More than any game in recent memory does it feel like you control a floating camera rather than a actual character
