I mean it makes sense,

if you wanna wear your reflective jacket open for style, you gotta put your stuff in a fanny pack, lest your unbalanced jacket hangs to one side and somehow looks bad..

As someone who doesn't own the game that hacking explanation made it sound confusing as fuck

Are these blue quests just randomly generated ones that just repeat?

If they're just gonna pop up again, eh, I won't bother.

I also want to know this, so I know what to do if I'm out of side gigs and want to grab more cash.

Dr. Chaos

I'm trying to get this guy to pay me for a job but I only have 3/5 of something but I don't know what that 3/5 something is.

What does that yinyang symbol next to "whats in it for me?" mean?

Dixon

Wrong image?

Some of the responses require a certain stat, so possibly that.

So I found a sniper rifle I can hold down to charge a shot. 750 damage headshots at lvl 5... We playing skyrim sneaky sniper now boys.

Yeah if you take really good character creators from other games, both recent and older, the one here really doesn't rate at all. The end result you can get looks nice because it's a nice looking game, but they way they let you pick the options is so poor it's hard to get the exact result you want out of it.

And getting the result you want is the most important part of a character creator.

If it was a matter of resources that the creator be a bit shit because work had to go elsewhere, then I'm (just) ok with it

The good news is that it can be reasonably fixed with just a bigger breadth of options, possibly from the DLCs, but yeah it's not going to rival a TES or Dark Souls creator (Or hell, Monster Hunter or Nioh 2)

This is CDPR. They could have put resources anywhere they wanted to for this game. My gut feeling for years now has been that they let scope creep get away from them and then didn't have time to finish nearly anything they wanted to cram into the game. Hence the crunch and delays, and then this buggy mess we have at release for them to continue working on.

Yeah I guess they could have done even more crunch time

Or they could have had good management and a good plan and taken their employees' well-being into account, having sensible work hours or hiring more people.

They sure could have

Never will happen until massive worldwide corporate reform but yeah

yes that's one of your stats,

"cool". other than unlocking skills and perks, they also unlock dialogue options

Drez

For hacking all you have to remember is that if the current number is within the margin but does not exceed the coefficient then you can proceed with the hack when the timer indicates a prime hack time within the parameters of the coefficient minus your Intelligence and modified by the Hackability perk but if it does exceed the coefficient you can only proceed backwards through the second to last number displayed by pushing X, B, RT (on a PC using the Xbox controller) if you have Raytracing enabled but not ambient occlusion but if you're on an Xbox or a Sony system it's triangle or backwards Q on the Xbox while holding the options button in game and this only works while sprinting or driving on an incline or standing stationary but while crouching you need to hold RB and your breath IRL so that you can keep the voight kampff aligned while proceeding through the hack.

Dixon

Hand cannon with a silencer and the sneak bonus I can get 900dmg hs’s.

I downed a group of 4 in 4 shots.

Gonna take a clip on the next opportunity, tried to but something messed up with my nvidia overlay. I couldn’t activate the filter mentioned earlier in the thread. Kept throwing an error.

So...not knowing how many attribute points you get is giving me decision anxiety.

Ah.

Yeah, guess I'm gonna have to pump abit in Cool to actually talk about upfront pay. Not really what I planned but don't want to play as a goody two shoes so, eh.

My main question was if that was a fanny pak or just some weird ass texture/cyberwear on his trunks. Really needs socks and sandals to complete the look

You forgot what happens if you accidentally quantum tunnel through the coulomb barrier and set off a metastability event within the qubits

It is very confusing at first but after the tutorial and that explanation makes it clearer.

50

Edit clarify: That's 50+ your initial whatever amount at start, so probably closer to 70

I was hoping you wouldn't notice.

Any accepted recommendations for early level ups? Skills I should get first, etc?

Photomode beautyshot shortly after

the prologue heist mission

driving on that highway the first time felt pretty cool, and that image looks kinda nice!

Dixon

I think just have fun with it, the guns get a lot better with some points.

I did see an item at one of the early stores to reset your points, not sure if that was both attributes and perks though. So possibly can change it later.

jungleroomx

Them teal shoes are doing some work.

Some cool work.

Put 1000 points in Charisma and make sure you select Bows/Archery for all 5 of your proficiency points.

I'm worried about getting this game (mostly my CPU)
I run:
i5 - 6600 3.3Ghz
16GB memory
RTX 3070 FE

Would it be straining? Not looking for Ultra, but seems like a hefty game!

You'll be fine, I'm using a CPU three generations older and a worse graphics card and I'm still able to run it on mostly "High" settings.

I got a hand implant that lets me interface with smart weapons, and it looks like a tiger tattoo

No banana on the tiger, 0/10 game is unplayable

I'll say that this photo mode lacks a key feature that would really help me make photos, and that's "have V look at camera"

Honestly after FF14 using any photo mode that doesn't have that feels so much worse, but this game feels especially finicky

@Olivaw I saw this this morning and don't know if someone happened to answer in the intervening time, but this option does exist under Pose. Sometimes.

I don't know why it appears sometimes but not others. It's like the 4th option down. I saw it the first two times I tried it out and then when I actually wanted to use it, I couldn't find it again until I restarted photomode a few times.

Drez

A part of me wants to decadently buy this for my PS5 and Xbox Series X also and compare them myself.

Drez

Hey so those of you playing through Steam - why can't I take screenshots with F12? Is it because there is a launcher?

I've been using Print Screen which is fine since Dropbox will intercept that and dump a screenshot into a folder for me, but I kind of want to be able F12 this baby.

Nosf

No screenshots when HDR is on I find.

Hacking should really be more like Alpha Protocol where you're progressively more punished for having a larger screen and how close you are to it.

You mean specifically for Cyberpunk 2077?

Because I was able to take Steam screenshots with AC: Odyssey, for instance, with HDR turned on.

Nosf

Hm, doesn't work in Destiny 2 I find.

That might be why I'd prefer 3rd person gameplay here but the get better with guns by putting points in them felt like something I couldn't place last night

I take offense to that... I don't think anything can be buggier than Alpha Protocol.

(I loved Alpha Protocol as well)

Great tip scheck, makes the game look MUCH better.

Drez, hit alt+z, click game filters, click 1, click add filter, select sharpen. Makes a world of difference. Crazy.

So yeah this game is HUGE. I've spent most of the day just walking around the city. It's amazing. And that's just, like 2 small blocks of the very first district.

@firewaterword Hey - question, when I click "Game Filters" in game, it only has one option - a toggle to enable Photo Mode?

new day same crashing at the exact same spot. guess it's shelf for you for the forseable future

i saw people reporting that if ur crashing at the corpo start sitdown thats common with older cpus that can in theory run the game but do not have avx capability (a more recent vector manipulation instruction set iirc)

not sure if theres a way round it

it's later than that.

getting out of the car to meet vic for the first time as soon as i cross the street it freezes and crashes.

I'm running a 3900X with an RX 5700 XT and otherwise everything in my system is like 4 months old so I wouldn't suspect an old parts issue here.

I got past that by literally taking a more roundabout way... and for some reason it worked. Like go around the block, and hopefully that does it.

Truthfully I was having all sorts of crashes, but it's been a while and I completely forgot about upgrading my GPU firmware. Once I did that... the issues basically disappeared.

So yeah, double verify that you're completely updated on drivers and graphic software before you try anything else. I'm usually really good at that shit, and I just plain forgot.

Yeah... I'm not completely through the backlog of posts in this thread, but... has anyone mentioned yet that there's cats... and you can pet the cats?

Because you can pet the cats.
