OK I think I've finally settled. Street Kid + Shotguns for my first play through. Loud and hard. Then I'll do probably Corpo + Pistols or those Smart Weapons for #2. Doubt I'll be up for a third playthrough, but if I am... then obviously Nomad

Wicked Them Beats posted:Very curious to see how much the mythical Day One Patch fixes things. Get the feeling that even with the patch the game is going to be a lot more janky than some people might be prepared for. My gut instinct agrees on more jank than prepared for, but I still wholly believe it'll also be good and fun.

doingitwrong posted:Welcome back. I’m curious about what the final days before a big launch like this are like. Are you all rushing around finishing tangential things, or is it all locked and loaded and it’s the calm before the storm p waiting to see if there are showstoppers you need to deal with? I've only ever worked in 'business software' rather than vidjagames but the week leading up to a major deadline / release is usually "Bored off my rear end, bored off my rear end, bor- OH GOD QA FOUND A BUG FIX IT FIX IT FIX IT FIX IT". That was medical record software with heavily regulated software specs with a hard deadline every year. I imagine video games are probably the same  Wet Fifty posted:https://i.imgur.com/RsEfi39.png The screen you get after trying to start the game after the PC preload. No spoilers.

Don't know about that, but I did read the review copies have Denuvo, and I don't think there are any 'game ready' drivers out either so fingers crossed that those two will result in big improvements... But I'm no longer expecting DLSS to get me a stable 40-60 FPS with nearly everything maxed

I said come in! posted:So DLSS is designed to improve performance, and with very little trade off? DLSS is supposed to be "things look slightly worse because we rendered it at a low resolution and used our big brains to blow it up to high resolution" which is much more efficient than just rendering it out at that high res. So, yes, improve performance with the trade off things not looking ~quite as nice~ but from what I saw in Nvidia's video announcement earlier this year, it still looks real goddamn good.

When I was a youngin I always had an FPS counter on and I could definitely tell when it was 30 fps VS 60 fps (and not just because of the counter). The last decade as I've gotten older and stopped caring (and stopped running a Counter), I definitely didn't really notice a difference between 30, 45, and 60. It all looked good enough to me. Then I got a 2060 last month and started running a counter just to see how well it runs things and now I've started to be able to notice when it dips again

Blue Raider posted:I’d much rather a story be future noir and heist fiction than some naval gazing rumination on the nature of man or identity or whatever some reviewers are complaining about. The latter sounds like a loving slog in a shooter rpg. It has its place, I do like those kinds of themes in Deus Ex. But futuristic heist game sounds way more fun to me. At the end of the day I don't even care about the "nature of man" and all that crap, if I could replace my dumb fleshy body with cyborg parts today I would be on the waiting list immediately (assuming I could afford it )

Got my new motherboard and processor yesterday 3070 is supposedly being delivered today, but knowing my luck I will be walking my dogs when the UPS guy arrives and miss the delivery so I'll have to pick it up from the store tomorrow, leaving me concerningly little time to tear down and re-build my computer before launch time There's probably no official skill builder out there, is there? I thought I was going to try and avoid those kinds of spoilers, but gently caress it's gonna be a long day today + tomorrow.

I’m honestly surprised that GameStop isn’t out of business yet. 99% sure Steam does, no idea about consoles. Companies would be worried because they still sell a shitload of physical copies from Walmart, Target, Gamestop and whereever else.

On a less serious note, why do you all think Street Kid is the least popular path in our poll? The Nomad path does not appeal to me, the trailer just seemed so "focus group of what people ascribe to be American Ideals: family and freedom, whatever that means" Corpo does sound fun, I wanna burn poo poo down from the inside - just not on my first play through. Street Kid sounds like it should be a fun taste of what it's like to really live in Night City as a regular joe

Anita Dickinme posted:I was gonna do street kid first and then corpo afterwards and then maybe nomad if I ever got around to it but someone else pointed out in the last thread that it’d be kinda neat to experience the game outside the city first then later enter the city not knowing who anyone was or how to get anywhere. Whereas being a street kid your whole background is knowing the streets but IRL you’re like, “I have to go where?” and pull up your map to find your objective that’s fifty feet away so I kind of like the idea of going nomad first time through for that reason. Plus if I gently caress up so bad on my character creation I can start my real first character as a street kid now that I know my way around n stuff. That's an interesting point Turin Turambar posted:Because it's the closest to GTA style of games. Low life criminal from a gang. Nomad and Corpo are more original. My Human Warrior was my favorite character of all the classes I played in World of Warcraft, sooooo guilty as charged I guess

Ice Phisherman posted:I'm not sure how you can really separate discussions about gender politics in a cyberpunk game from gameplay without talking about purely technical poo poo. The punk genre is inherently political and cyberpunk is queer coded as gently caress and a lot of people are finding that out the hard way that the newest AAA title is pretty queer and political in places and that the queer folk of the LGBTQ+ community are also pretty political and they have expectations too as they consume the genre and play games too. Its really not hard. One place to talk about quests and mechanics and stuff. One for dick chat. I fully agree 2 threads sounds great, but i think in 30 hours it probably won't matter

Mike the TV posted:Nomad seems like the best path to be a 'good' character Yea, like I said with "strong personal code" you could play someone who was a happy go lucky, well meaning hill billy mechanic who just got wrapped up in the wrong crowd with the main quest probably. Or you could just pretend to be some drug smuggling redneck if you don't want to be 'good' A little harder to craft some 'good' narrative for Street I think.
