Given what I've seen w/ vid's and read - get it on PC if you have high-end hardware (i.e. higher-end 2000 or 3000 cards); or a higher-end next-gen consoles (i.e. PS5 or X Box Series X).
And...good luck getting hands of any of those right now, unfortunately.
This game's super-demanding - go see Steam and GOG threads complaining about PC performance on 1080 Ti's. Sounds like this game's best off on 2070's, 2080's, 3070's, 3080's, and 3090's.

It's weird it got delayed a few times and is still this obviously buggy.B/c this game's a seamless open-world game w/ NPC's everywhere doing stuff; cutting edge & demanding (RTX stuff); has tons going on; etc etc.
It's CDPR; give it 6 months to a year, they'll knock most of the issues out by then. Just like Witcher 1,2,3.

They're ranging from good to great, for the most part.
Seems that...the game's still quite a bit buggy and ain't the best technical performer either.
Some of the most middling. mixed, and "meh" reviews, aren't scored - i.e. see Kotaku and Polygon.
OpenCritic = 91 (of 100) - https://opencritic.com/game/8525/cyberpunk-2077
Metacritic = 91 (of 100) - https://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/cyberpunk-2077?ref=hp

General Gaming / Re: Gwent: The Witcher Card Game
« Last post by Quemaqua on Friday, December 04, 2020, 01:35:57 PM »I downloaded this once and never played it. We were talking about it the other day and how some folks just avoided playing it in Witcher 3, but I loved it there, and it got me started back on my Witcher 3 play through (130+ hours and counting ... I'm playing on Death March), and I decided to try Gwent in its standalone format.
I didn't realize some of the differences they made to it, like only 2 rows per side instead of 3, but it's a great game and I really enjoy it. Nice to see that despite being F2P, you can actually earn a lot of rewards just by playing, doesn't feel like the kind of thing you're forced to buy tons of stuff for.
Then I learned that Thronebreaker was actually originally planned to be a single-player component of Gwent, which I didn't realize, I thought it was just a sort of card RPG thing. But I guess they put so much in they decided to make it its own standalone product. I've played a bunch of that now as well and it's really been a lot of fun too.

« Last post by Quemaqua on Friday, December 04, 2020, 01:31:51 PM »Man, I really need to finish this. I got stuck on a boss for a sec, then beat it, but then ran into a bunch of dumb shit and a bug and a challenge I hurled myself at a few times but couldn't beat ... and I just didn't want to play it anymore. Now I've been in the mood for more RPG stuff, so I'll have to wait until the mood strikes again, I guess. I really want to finish it, I love so much of the bonkers stuff they did.
