I'm considering cancelling my preorder if I can't install extra cyberarms on my body and walk around with four arms like CyberGoro, someone please confirm/deny

I don't know if posting lore poo poo should be spoilered but you know, I will just in case. But short answer, that all exists in this setting too, and long answer... well:

There's ways to tunnel in from the LANS to the larger Net, where all the spooky weird poo poo is and I hope what we see IG is more than just you plug in and talk to someone once or some poo poo. Don't ask me how the two systems are supposed to be able to talk to each other or why there would still be an old internet running apparently on still powered servers in a cooled room in the middle of a ruined city for 40+ years. The answer is probably "Because it's more fun this way"

I trip up on why they don't just turn the servers off, but my personal explanation would be the corps/banks are all still running decrepit hundred year old mainframes full of COBOL code nobody knows how to update that are also now infested with cyberskellies and they refuse to.

PC gaming sure has come a long way since I last had a gaming computer.

Will my <random string of 3 letters and 3-4 numbers> GPU be able to run this on low settings?
Should I use my keyboard or joystick and trackball to play?
Should I buy this from GOG, Steam, or Walmart?
How do I plug my computer into a TV?

I have an Xbox 1 X and no plans to get the new one, so I am going to just play the game and accept that only one building and one NPC will be viewable at any given time at 30fps.

On the other hand all this hand wringing on how best to ~experience the game~ could be over in an instant if CDPR would just

release the game, you cowards!

Nomad = republican
Corpo = democrat
Street kid = socialist

At least that's how it should be if this game wasn't turning modern culture norms on their head, someone earlier said the nomads had shared property (socialists!)

Maybe the patch was actually baked in...well for Xbox.

There was a 18ish gig update Monday following the original preload

Handful of visual glitches and every other dead body seems to get up with a spasm and lay back down, but looks good enough for me on Xbox1X so far.

Genuinely enjoy that for one precious morning even the biggest, best, most expensive gaming computer can't play while my humble previous gen console gives me all the cybergoodness I have time for (not much tbh)

Kept getting "System Malfunction" in a cyberpunk themed popup box overlaid during a conversation with one of my choombas, and the game promptly framedropped out and crashed when we went for a drive.

Very cyberpunk.

I just walked up to a food stand and the man in the cowboy hat in the booth keeps yelling at me

"I HAVE NO REASON TO LIVE"
"GET OUT OF TOWN BEFORE ITS TOO LATE"

without moving his lips.

I don't know if I'm sick or the game is glitched.

Kinda disappointed shotgun skills fall under Body.

My weakass cybernerdlinger is supposed to be all hacking and shotguns because he can't aim (and neither can I with console controllers) and imagining him doing push-ups is really breaking my immersion.

In the soulless consumer-driven dystopia of the 2077 future, all analog mirrors have been outlawed after cybermirror manufacturers successfully lobbied government to ban them under the premise that it is emotionally damaging for a citizen to have to see there own ugly reflection every time they need to pee pee poo poo.

This is my head cannon for why the stupid mirror in my stupid apartment has to be switched on.

Can't seem to figure it out and this thread moves really fast, how does one hack vending machine? I've got 8 int, 2 levels of advanced data mining, and the reveal access points perk, but I have no idea what I'm missing. A few vending machines I can breach to ICEpick them, but no quickhacks for looting and when I go up to them it I don't get an option to jack in like access points.

How is vending machine hacking supposed to work?

It's kind of hilarious that a game being developed for 7 years doesn't have police chases. What were those developers doing in all that time? Guess the QA didn't include committing a crime and then getting in a car.

If you give software developers time and money, they will find things to work on, useful or not.

Have any desperate youtubers made a GTA 1 comparison yet?

Can you believe a 23 year old game had police chases and trains?! Don't forget to smash those rate, comment, and subscribe buttons with your loving skull!

So I asked this 10,000 posts ago to no avail but I'll give it another try before I get a refund.

I'm playing on XBONE. After completing the prologue it seems like I can't damage enemies anymore in any encounter that's mission related. I deal headshot after headshot in a pickup mission or NCPD encounter and do ZERO damage. It registers damage but tighter enemy's health bar didn't budge. I can still kill civilians but nothing I do to enemies that are agroed does anything. I've restarted multiple times and even put this game down for a week but when I came back same thing. I even reverted to multiple previous saves post prologue and had no luck. Any ideas? I really don't want to start from scratch because I put about eight hours into this save. The only thing I can think of is starting from s scratch but if that's my only recourse I'll just wait a year and get it in the next gen after the bugs are ironed out.

I'm on Xbone as well and after the prologue a bunch of my guns had their DPS changed to 0. Could that be it?

Maelstrom and Scavs always get their head popped by my burya after getting knocked out by contagion. Always.

Come to think of it, so do most other people I knock out, but I do it to those two gangs with joy in my heart.

Can't say I bothered with Beat the Brat, every FPS I've ever played with hand to hand melee has been poop, Cyberpunk included.
