- Start date
Hi all. Been away for a while and just got re-united with my gaming rig (and electricity) for the first time since July. How is Cyberpunk stacking up in the open world immersion department? Will my rig run it competently, specs to follow: screen 1440p--1080ti gpu--32 gigs ddr4 RAM--i7-9820x cpu? Hope you've all had a fantastic year!!!
I only have an i3, so considering getting this on Steam, but looks like i5 minimum. I was about to try it anyways, then someone told me they're trying Stadia. I sign up, buy the game. You click a play icon, it plays, and using my ps4 controller. Enjoying that so far. Now hoping ED goes on there or hoping Steam does streaming sometime (or do they already?).
Should run fine. It's similar to my system (I have a Ryzen 7 instead of Intel) and I can run it on mostly High settings at 4K.
It's 2020. This is a joke, right?
So, the game is really starting to annoy me now. Stuck trying to get out of a building, and my health is at half before I start (try and increase it with med packs / whatever and it says "I cannot do that now"). I mean, seriously? I can't use boosters during combat? Is this right?
I get as far as the third room, and then I'm dead. I have no idea who is shooting me, so after the twentieth time of trying I tried to just hide and let Jackie do all the work. They still found me and killed me. This is on so-called "Easy" mode. I have no idea how people play at higher skill levels.
I really suck at FPS games and am not likely to "git gud" any time soon. Going to have to wait for a trainer/cheat I think, just so I can continue to play.

TBH, it feels like so long since I went 'outside', I've forgotten.
It's "All Foods". If that's the hotel mission, involving a high tech bot you're supposed to obtain, then yes.
I've found a trainer, and I'm going to try it again later giving me infinite health just to get out of this place. Then I'll turn it off.
You can use them during combat for sure, unless you changed the quickslot item assignmentss, hitting by default "x" should inject one of those "medpacks" (can't remember the real name now). They take a few seconds to raise your health to the max though, so you should get out of harms way during those seconds. Unless of course you ran out of those, which might be why you're getting that message?
If I recall correctly, you'll be wearing just a disguise suit when starting the mission, you should change your clothes as soon as you can (pick stuff with higher armor from killed npcs to raise your survivability). One of the rooms (not sure if you're there yet) will contain some kind of mech/robot with high DPS, you can soften it up a bit with cyberware.

@Juniper another alternative (just in case the trainer you found doesn't work) is reloading a save previous to the hotel mission, and do more side jobs until your character is more "beefed up". Like in previous CDPR games, the NPCs do not scale up to your level ( and NPCs in higher threat level missions do not scale down either) so any particular mission will become easier the later in the game you do it.
Yep, in retrospect I think I was a bit silly attempting this right now, but I didn't know what I was getting myself into. Now I do, and I wish I could just turn back time & spend the time doing what you suggest instead. I was having a great time just walking around the city.
But certain parts are closed off, and I assume that is because I haven't been progressing the story much during that time - so, I thought I'd better get to it. My mistake.
Not sure if I even have an earlier save I can return to, but if not, and the trainer doesn't work, I'll probably end up just restarting from scratch. I'm not too far in anyway.

That is true, after the hotel mission the game fully opens up, the entire map gets unlocked, you get a lot more stuff to do and ther story finally kicks in. It's like all up to that popint was just an intro
The game autosaves at regular intervals and after every completed mission, so you if select "load save" there should be plenty of save points before the hotel mission (if you end up needing to go back).
Good luck!
For the All Foods mission (if it's the mission you get from Dex), the best alternative is to do it peacefully...talk to the Corpo agent in your phone, get the credit chip and do it that way. There's always a raft of alternatives to getting the guns out for practically every mission, it's very Deus Ex in that respect. I swindled the Corpo woman out of her credits by hacking the card then double crossed Royce by killing him during the price haggling, got the bot and kept all the cashTBH, it feels like so long since I went 'outside', I've forgotten.

Yeah I did that (or thought I did), gave the heid honcho the credit chip, everyone turns 'nice', and then next thing I know I'm suddenly having to shoot my way out.
I've also tried the katana, and that drops enemies pretty quickly, but you have to get close to them to do that and they kill me before I get a chance. One time I was hiding with Jackie, and then I hear him say "Really? A grenade?". BOOOOOOM! Dead.
I can't fully remember the exact sequence of events (I know I tried and failed to hack the credit chip, so just passed it over), because my brain is still having nightmares about that third room.

Been playing for 22 hours now, and finally seen the title screen haha, did i get lost in those side missions..
So now i'm past the first impression, i can confidently say: this is the new Deus Ex. Yeah even more so than Human Revolution. I had that fuzzy feeling when playing my first missions but that was entirely validated once i started doing higher level street cred gigs.
You do have a complete freedom to solve almost every situation (apart from a very few scripted ones that are part of the main quest), and CDPR left a lot of options to approach every mission - from the front door, back door, roof, hacking your way through, or using your tech skills to lockpick doors, going long range, mid range, close combat, lethal or not.. your choice ! How you pick your equipment and cyberware is key, of course, and a beginner character will be a bit more constrained in the way they can solve gigs.
Setting aside that hotel mission that has scripted events (that first hiccup at the very first interaction was hilarious, reminded me of just every tabletop Cyberpunk/Shadowrun RPG i played, spend hours planning a heist to have it fall flat on its face at the front door...) - the gigs you take you can for most part do them your way entirely. There are a few notable exceptions like the fist fight tournaments, which are shown as side gigs in true CDPR tradition and have their own storyline / progression and interesting characters like those in Witcher series, or the Gwent tournament.
Playing in high difficulty, i did spend a lot of time picking a suitable set of cyberware that works in combination with my character abilities. The game at that setting starts being punitive if you do anything without a bit of preparation.
As for performance: your rig will run it in "high" settings with no trouble. Turn off the useless effects such as motion blur, chromatic aberration or film grain, that eat performance for a worse picture quality and you'll be fine. It still looks really good in that setting.
Either way, it's a scripted mission as it's part of the main quest line. If you are having trouble during the first fights, i suggest reloading a prior save and doing quite a few side gigs to beef up your character before going in. Getting rid of a group of gang members should be relatively easy (they are the equivalent of Witcher 3 bandits - lowlifes with poor equipment). I also suggest getting used to ways of clearing bigger gigs (there are a few ones involving gangs in factories too, that are side gigs so not scripted) so you get a feel of how you should tune your character and your MO so you can clear them without too much trouble.
I play in difficulty mode "high" and it's quite ok for me - and i'm not really a FPS addict, like i said the game is not really a FPS. You do have the possibility to go guns blazing (or katana slashing) but that means setting up your character accordingly - for example for close combat you should have mods that allow you to slow time and get close without getting hit. Scouting gigs prior to doing them actually is also quite important. And prepare for things not going always your way - that's the nature of Cyberpunk, people will double cross you (that's really not a spoiler..) and some gigs have nasty "surprises".

Like i said above, the immersion is up to par with Warren Spector + Paul Neurath games such as Deus Ex. Fantastic. The city is truly alive, packed with stories and events. Missions are intense and can be nerve wracking at times (that "hotel mission" has, let's say, some very tense moments).

Spoiler ahead for those who didnt do the Dex quest line yet: Did you clear the virus from the chip ? If not indeed the shooting will start really quickly for an obvious reason. If you want a mostly peaceful exit you should hack the chip before giving it, as the gang members will side with you and mostly take care of the fight.Yeah I did that (or thought I did), gave the heid honcho the credit chip, everyone turns 'nice', and then next thing I know I'm suddenly having to shoot my way out.

Grenades do have an indicator on screen, this one should mean "side step the hell out of there, now !". But again if you are having trouble against these, no need trying to go any further there is an "end boss" that will decimate you unless you side with the gang - and even so you better pack EMP grenades. If you dont like shooting, i suggest going the Netrunner way (intelligence stat) and hack everything, including your opponents cyberware, which you can damage pretty heavily that way

I didn't even realise you could sell them, only realised a few weeks ago. Up to £8 at the moment. All from £0.01 - £0.14 trades

Haha, yeah, it's annoying to list them, but I picked up plenty of small DLCs (like truck cosmetics for ETS2) or cheap games on sale just from them over the years.
