My first computer didn't have storage at all. My second one had 20MB HDD. I wish I'd kept it. I would keep it in the corner somewhere and I'd put like... four photos on it. To fill it up.

With more detail, and in YELLOW.
I'm above minimum spec at least, but my motherboard is limited to 8Gb, and i really want to get more memory... so its upgrade time as soon as i can afford it.
I've got some DDR4
Will your system take DDR4? If so PM me.
I mean, the motherboard won't take any more memory at all. Its limited to 8Gb max.
Ah! If you manage to get a motherboard I have 16 gig of DDR4 2666 I can send you gratis.
That's sweet thanks. Although i do live in Russia, so posting won't be cheap and can take a while. I'll keep it in mind though. Thanks.
Well PM me your details and if I send it soon it might get there at the same time as the motherboard.
Puts my views on mainstream media 'reviewers' of CP 2077 in a nice perspective...with less swearwords than I used when reading them..
Had a good chuckle through these cheers

Was musing yesterday evening and thought the one thing I'd want to see CDP improve on with this over Witcher series is the skill trees, found them very underwhelming in the Witcher series. Really hope they have added some excitement into levelling up characters abilities and see that translate into how you play the game.

Can't say I'm surprised by this. We've seen since Bladerunner 2077 that the 'woke agenda' (or whatever you want to call it, for paraphrasings sake) have an issue with genuine 'traditional' dystopian future settings, which is ironic as they champion the 'lite' version being pasted onto whatever product that twitter/the media tells them is okay to consume this week (looking at you, modern Trek).
"Look at me everyone, I am a sensitive progressive and I am offended by the number of trans people in a computer game!"
"No, look at me everyone, I am a hard-working no nonsense alpha-male and I am offended that that person was offended!"
I guess people just love virtue signalling their outrage. I've checked a dozen or so CP77 reviews, in English and Dutch and what they are 'crying about' (which is an expression you'd expect to hear from 10-year olds on playgrounds, not from adults trying to convey an opinion on something) is that it is a bug-infested game which simply rehashes the same gameplay we've been seeing for the last decade in countless other open games, with the main story line taking only about 20-30 hours.
So my turn: Look at me everyone. I am a smartly-dressed ape and I am annoyed if it indeed turns out to be a buggy mess at launch. But I don't really care about 'the fake news lamestream woke SJW journos' because 1) anyone can approach any form of entertainment from whatever angle they want even if the might Ian Skippy does not care for it, and 2) nobody forces me to read reviews from people who care about other things than me. I am a big boy and capable of selecting the reviewers whose opinion I value, for reasons that are mine alone.
But if people get their kicks out of sharing their outrage over other people's outrage over something outrageous in some computer game or whatever; go at it. Clickbait aint gonna click itself, I guess.

If you have a CPU fast enough to run Cyberpunk 2077 well, it will almost certainly support more than 8GiB of memory.
Most motherboard memory limitations are based on whatever was available during validation to test it, it's rarely an actual platform limit.
If it's new enough to support DDR3 and has more than one DIMM slot, it almost invariably supports at least 16GiB of memory, no matter what the specs say.
I think it's a general societal culture thing (which has already been skewed and messed up because of 2020) where everyone feels they need to be "represented" in modern culture, and that's fine. Don't have an issue with representation. Someone mentioned Star Trek - the trans character in Discovery for instance is fine as far I'm concerned. Makes sense in the plot, and the kid is a decent enough actor. I see it in the same light as having a black woman on the bridge of the Enterprise, which they did in 1966, and is still celebrated as being seminal today. So fair play to them for carrying that tradition on.
But, equally, this "I'm offended! Won't someone PLEASE think of my offense!" catcall is just obnoxious and unnecessary. From what little I've seen of the game thus far, it looks like you can be anyone you want to be - and meet all kinds of people in the game. Which is great - not just for representation purposes - but also for the overall colour and zeitgeist of the experience. So they're complaining about something they're actually being given! It's not overt, but it doesn't need to be, and would be ridiculous if it was.
As for bugs, I'm expecting them, and I expect most (if not all) of the reviews that have been published so far are playing a build that is literally months old. In software development terms, that's like banging rocks together in terms of tech. So I wouldn't put any stock in any of them. So long as the game runs, and is able to get through the tutorial (which I've read is 5-10 hours long) and into the main game 'proper', I'm happy. Anything else will be fixed in time.

Additionally, it featured the very first interracial kiss ever shown on TV, between lieutenant Uhura and captain Kirk. Take that, Star Wars! (takes off trek uniform).
3%... F5... 3%... F5... 3%........ Oh well, at least I'm not obsessing.... F5....
As for the offended brigade, it's tough to make a sweeping call as some outrage is justified and often healthy - albeit these instances normally make headlines even on a busy news day.
But as for the generic internet clickbait brigade, tbh some of them are masters of their art. Guninely huge master baiters.

That's a central theme of the cyberpunk genre - transhumanism, or the way the body is considered as a product, that you can modify, upgrade, and even sell to corporations. Adjacent is what this entails as how "human" you stay, say if you replace every part of your body with mechanical parts, are you still human, what is left of you ? That's one of the main questions of pretty much every cyberpunk novel / movie / series that has been published so far.
So of course, they HAD to to it, with the game bearing the name of the genre itself.. Missing that would have been a complete failure.
I would add that since the genre is deeply rooted in 80's culture and also, punk culture (it's in the word !) it's meant to be shocking, outrageous, violent, and display a lot of bad taste. Otherwise it would usurp that heritage.
As for the bugs at launch. Expect a lot of them as usual in open world RPG's. From what we know from CDPR is they are pretty good at fixing them and if you can wait for the GOTY edition (which was a free upgrade on Witcher series by the way !) it will be mostly flawless. Also expect a lot of mods.
(Sorry for snipping)
Totes agree! I think so much has been going on in 2020 that people feel scared/worried and in such times tend to 'circle the wagons' and start firing pot-shots at 'the others' and generate 'themandusness'... ...hmmm I sense an MTBFritz post coming on. So I'll stop.
Tbh, much like Far Cry 5, I'm hoping that there is as much enjoyment to be had from simply exploring as there is from playing the main story-line. It's often the little nuggets/moments along the way that give a game its place in your gaming heart.
My #1 example of this is STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl. This was a bit of a diabolical mess upon first release, but has truly dynamic a-life that will forever keep you on your toes. Despite it in part being a 'walking simulator', it's the atmosphere and the constant uncertainty that grabbed me and has taken me back many (many) times. e. As Surefoot reminded me, also modding has enabled this game (with many) to grow and be fixed by the community, really extending the game's longevity.
F5.... <not obsessing>......... F5......
