I added some entries to the genre recommendations part of the OP.


That's understandable, but there's also the reported lack of review codes being given. And giving review codes so close to the release time will result in subpar reviews as people rush to compile their impressions. So that's counterproductive.

oooh, nice post. I'll add some to it...

Novel: The Diamond Age (Neal Stephenson)
TV: Mr. Robot
Video Games: Shadowrun series, e.g. Shadowrun Returns (!!!)
Video Games: Syndicate (original, early 90s)
Book: The Quantum Thief, Hannu Rajaniemi (far future, so, postcyberpunk)

A broad list is available here:

Anyone cancelling a pre-order based on the reviews saying it's a bugfest?

I haven't ordered yet and I'm wavering. May be able to get it on sale by the time some good patches have come in.

Are there any actual in-game pre-order exclusive bonuses for CP2077? at https://www.gog.com/game/cyberpunk_2077 the only "pre-order" bonus is a discount for buying real life merch. the other bonuses, including in-game content, are not explicitly limited to pre-orders.

quote from the "Future Shock" section of the CP sourcebook included as GOG extras PDF:

quote:

In the United States, thirty-two years of corrupt government and economic destabilization have resulted in a nation divided- by class, by race and by economics. By the end of the 1980's, it was evident that the nation was in trouble. Most social norms had dissolved under an all engulfing wave of competing special interest groups, media fueled fads, and an overall "me first" worldview.

yeah, that checks out

By the way, was anyone else kinda disappointed with the lifepath intros? I didn't really expect them to be super long, but they're seriously like 20 minutes.

they're just prologue, I'd be annoyed if they were any longer because you have to run through them each time you start a new character

Does everyone feel the same way about this - Was Witcher 3 this bad on launch?

I think people forget how buggy TW3 was at launch. Just start at 1.03 and read its patch notes for some versions going forward:
https://witcher.fandom.com/wiki/Category:The_Witcher_3_patches

they patched a MASSIVE amount of things in TW3 over time

Early game katana is very fun, but I don't know if that's because the weapon is good or because I've been able to upgrade it about ten times when I've been able to upgrade my pistol...twice? Can't really tell why from the upgrade screen, either.

Either way, chopping guys is good stuff.

Glad to hear, I may go melee on first run since I can only get 40 FPS and I imagine that affects gunplay more

Re mouse smoothing, I fiddled with that input-smoothing setting when I first got the game. It's definitely better now, but that might also be because I whacked the graphics settings down to boost the framerate. If it's integrating input between frames then the more frames per second you have the less you will notice it.

It still doesn't feel as snappy as Quake 3 or whatever (and I'm playing without aim assist because I'm not a wuss :colbert:) but it's definitely better than it was.

I only saw one smoothing option in the settings menus and it was under a controller sub-menu?

but it affects the mouse?

Also, i got something from the steam forums for those craving more fps: Apparently if you go to the game exe -> right click -> properties -> compatibility -> check turn off full screen optimization it can lead to more fps. I got about 5 fps more on average with this.

Interesting comment. From some googling, it seems that choosing to "disable full screen optimization" may slow alt-tab times and possibly interfere with overlays (steam, GOG, nvidia, etc.). But that it may help with FPS and input lag.

Anyone else try that? How'd it go?

there's a good character planner here: https://nukesdragons.com/cyberpunk-2077/character

I've decided my first run is gonna be heavy on blunt melee (athletics/brawler) and tech crafting/engineering, with some stealth/cold blood to help out the melee efforts. Minimal INT to get by doing a little hacking. Still level 1 so I've only wasted 1 extra attribute point in reflex.

Once I get a 3xxx series video card I'll revisit guns.

What builds are you guys trying?

Mr. Pool posted:

I'm gonna do every point into INT until 20 , then whatever

because INT can do basically everything: craft all your quickhacks, make $$$, all your combat, hack environmental objects. Only thing you really miss is opening locked doors (body, tech)

aw man if body/tech are redundant for exploration then I'm re-evaluating my plan.

maybe I should make my secondary tree INT instead of TECH?
