Hopefully the next gen patch drops sooner than later. I really want to enjoy this insanly ambitious game and I know I will love it then.
Keep reality in check for next gen patch. This game is only great on the NViDIA GPUs. DLSS and RTX are what makes it shine. The consoles arenāt going to be able to match this sadly.
Even with the visual settings disabled? Damn.
I havenāt bought it yet, Iām not really in a hurry and Iām fully into ACV. But reading things like these may make me decide to wait for the patch too. But it could be a long, long time before that happens though.
Jesus christ at that base Xbox One and PS4 version. Buddy of mine has the PS4 version and he doesnāt have a pro, good lord.
Some were saying XSX seems more washed oud than PS5. I would say itās a little brighter, not washed oud.
I really donāt need RTX, but just a clearer image, better draw distance and faster asset streaming. That would make such a big difference. I just hate that everything thats not directly in front of you is blurred. Also some textures like from the vending machines look like a distant model and will never clear up. Performamce with VRR was great but just the image. Itās like the switch port of witcher 3. Yeah you can play it, but its just not how you want to experience this game. Especially such a great game
Raytracing and some AI upscaling is possible on console, too. It all depends how long we have to wait.
Even a RTX 3060TI is not enough for the game
Damn, thatās really unfortunate. I didnāt expect that. I mean base consoles I can get, they are pretty much ancient at this point, but with the much higher res on One X, not to mention XSX youād think it would look really crisp.
The prpblem is how this version of the game handles (I think) depth of field, itās like there is a constant depth of field effect on everything that is more than 2 feet away. I guess this is rooted in the last gen nature of this version and they try to hide low res textures with it. Of course series x could handle that but because of this filter itās really unpleasant to look at. Like you forgot to put your glasses on if thats explaines it better.
Damn, yeah that does suck. And this isnāt a option that can be disabled?
Not 100% sure. I couldnāt find it. What are the others thinking. Anyone else played this on Series X?
Itās kind of a shame how little interactivity there is in night city. Having come off beating Yakuza like a dragon its really jarring. Yakuza games are a fraction of the size but have far more interactivity in itās world.

Didnāt expect that. The biggest part of the map is the city, youād think there is a lot to do, see and interact with. Can you at least access a lot of buildings?
Every building Iāve entered is for story related reasons and thereās nothing to do outside of that. Most buildings are warehouses or offices where you can go to do the typical ubisoft āclear out an areaā style side content. I sound like Iām down on the game but the story is very cool so far and it looks very beautiful in so many areas. If you go in expecting a action RPG and not an open world sandbox youāll have a better time.
Yeah, a good few hours in now & I have to be honest, this game is really underwhelming. Maybe I expected too much, but I expected better than this.
The whole thing feels unfinished. Thereās not a single aspect of the experience that doesnāt feel off or janky at some point, be it overall visual quality, the feel of Night City as a living world, navigating the menus, driving, interacting with & talking to other characters, fistfights, gunfights, stealth, hackingā¦ It all just feels clunky, unintuitive & basically unfinished to me. The game is not in a state where it shouldāve been released. & this is without even mentioning the various bugs, glitching & freezing, which are constant. I honestly think it needs months of patching, before itāll possibly be what CDPR were actually aiming for.
Itās a real shame because I do love the atmosphere & style of the thing. Night City does look amazing in some moments & I can see, with the way the story is progressing, that Iāll enjoy choosing Vās actions & seeing how things play out. But I would genuinely recommend, to anyone who is unsure or hasnāt started playing yet, wait a while. The devs need more time to fix this game. Hopefully it will become a much better experience, but they definitely need more time.

Patch is live for PC and PS4, not Xbox yet
This is the first time Iāve never understood a Metacritic score for a game. Yes it looks stunning on PC but that alone couldnāt possibly make the game a 10 right? Iām someone whoās played a lot of this type of game so nothing here really screams 10/10 to me. All opinions are subjective though so Iāll respect that.

I think it still looks good on series x despite the bugs and yea this reminds me of fallout new Vegas as that missed its goal by 1 point

I tried on quality and the framerate dropped into what felt like the fucking teens. There are so many stutters. Writing is good so far, but the honeymoon period is starting to subside. I had to drum up the motivation to play it today. No refund where I bought it so idk.
