So consoles get it like 5-8 hours later than PC and Stadia?

Suck it console owners, Stadia is more important than you.

You know what'd be loving hilarious? That the demand will overpower Stadia for the first couple of days, because Google in its eternal lazyness didn't expect and account for it, given how the service slouched around, leading to tons upset people. That and those end-users that underestimated the bandwidth demands of the service.

Also, in light of this penis talk, can you wear it up or down? If that ain't an option, worst game of the decade.

That perks list on Google Sheets got hit with the DMCA hammer or something. It worked earlier, and now I get a message about ToS violation. What exactly does it spoil or ruin? Or what does this block solve? The second the game's officially released, it'll go back up.

Comte, tell your bosses to stop being dicks.

If I can get 60fps+ with at 1440p with RT and DLSS, I'll be fine. This type of style needs proper reflections and global illumination. And my transparent PVC jacket and hotpants need to refract properly.

Actually, I can't even remember what it was about, except that I was loving pissed that there was a loading screen every one and a half rooms, because of the loving XBox. Even Liberty Island was cut into four sections, despite being freely explorable in its entirety in the previous game.

This NPC culling thing is disconcerting. Hope it ain't gonna do that poo poo on PC with high or ultra settings. Given how distinctive some NPCs are, having them go away completely when they go out of sight would be jarring.

That assumes those items are available to the player character. Given past games, I expect a large part of fashion to be NPC only. That includes the fancy stuff illustrated.

Steam says an update is required, but doesn't do so at the scheduled time, and just advances by five minutes. Forcing it doesn't do anything.

So, gee, will I have to download another 10GB after decrypting it? That's gonna be fun.

Downside is Nvidia has to implement it per-game so very few games support it, and also you need a fancy geforce card.

In regards to character customization, if I want some of the more outlandish poo poo I see on NPCs, I have to a) hope CDPR actually made them available, and b) given how shops are implemented, that I'm in the good graces of the RNG? I've been perusing shops once the whole map was accessible, and it's annoying the least.

Besides a few silly bugs, like the avatar blipping into T-pose while driving and losing clothes after that, the game's generally stable and performing well.

According to task manager, my GPU (RTX 3080) is running at 60ish percent load. Either it doesn't account for the raytracing load, or I'm CPU bound, which would be surprising, because none of the cores went past 70%. A lot of them were loaded, tho, with what having a 16C/32T. Framerate's good enough for me. G-sync hides it well enough.

Still, a barber and better UI/choice in clothes would be nice.

--edit:
Also, the CP2077 subreddit is pretty dramatic. :haw:

^^ transmog is like a skin transfer. Make Item X look like Item Y.

Personally, I'm annoyed so far that the player doesn't have access to everything the NPCs wear, despite using the same avatar system as it seems. For instance, I've bought a bunch of tops, to which there's matching bottoms as per NPCs, but I have never ever seen them in a shop.

But then again, same story every game so far.

Tell me if you see something wrong here:

Game uses around 4260MB of RAM and doesn't appear to budge from there, which I assume it's a limit that's being managed. My current system memory usage is 15 out of 32GB.

Well, I don't know. I'd say the game ought to use more RAM to cache assets to retrieve. While an SSD is fast, RAM is faster. More so, since you can also store the assets in a way they're ready to use and don't need to load and parse them first.

I don't think that's right. I reloaded a few times and visited a shop, and it had different gear every time. I saw a sweet trench coat, came back, and it was gone.

I keep seeing the same poo poo, even a reload doesn't seem to change much. I reached Street Cred level 27, which is supposed to increase the amount/variety of items in a shop, but I don't see a difference. Same boring items, same count. If there's more shown, it's a negligible increase that doesn't get noticed.

I once found a shop with an extended list, but somehow I can't find it anymore on the map :[

Do the clothing stores restock as you level? I took a tour of all of them (I think) and I'm still looting stuff occasionally that couldn't be bought.

Two street cred levels increase the amount and/or variety (not even sure which) of items in stores. The first time I think it bumped up number of items noticeably, but the second time, it's maybe 5 items at best, so it goes unnoticed. The second bump is at SC 27.

There's plenty of things I see in the world, that I want to have, but can't. They really have to overhaul the clothing stuff, given the fashion trailer, and that it'll be necessary the latest for online.

I mean, their system is pretty nice. It's clothing patterns that get filled in with shaders from the looks of it, instead of fixed textures that get a different hue as in other games. So there's a shitload of possible variety. Except we don't have access to it.

It's not just performance, seems like a lot of the bitching is about the game not being this "life simulator" or whatever people dreamed up this game would be like. I don't even get it - what part of the marketing materials made people think this was anything but a standard open world game?

Apparently CDPR said things like "Cyberpunk 2077 will feature over 1,000 unique NPCs that have their own unique daily routines" and some people drew conclusions from that.

My understanding is that its about unhappy privious gen console players. They are like "why did you even sell it to us if it barely runs?"

I wonder how much it affected the game in general, given that some considerable development effort went towards getting it to run on the old consoles. Time that could have better spent on the game itself.

I would certainly like some more stories happening in this setting, as expansions, entirely independent of the main story. The world is a big enough playground to do something. I'd rather not have them do another loving Witcher game. There's enough medieval fantasy RPGs as it is.

Speaking of perfomance issues, does this game have a memory leak or something? Sometimes my performance keeps dropping by something like a half and when I restart, the same save game now runs smooth as hell

If anything, it has a pretty rigid limit it tries the damnest to keep. Over here it uses 4300MB max. and doesn't really inch beyond it. If it does, it's a few MBs and eventually backs off.

I have 32GB of RAM. While running the game, with two utility VMs in memory, a host of other background applications, there's still 17GB of free RAM right now. Certainly RAM ain't the reason why it has to keep culling NPCs and cars and such.

Adding all pools except the GPU one results in 3GB. Add one gigabyte for code and whatever, there's the 4GB mentioned earlier. I wonder what happens when I bump things.
