I am enjoying my time with the game, but I just don’t see how anyone can give it a perfect score. The game’s city is impressive, and the story, main characters, and side-missions are all entertaining enough, but it really doesn’t hold up under closer scrutiny outside of those.
The NPC’s are dumb, none of the promised individual lifestyles/schedules on display here, with very boring, oft-repeated dialog. AI-driven cars can’t maneuver around 1 car blocking traffic? The police aren’t good for anything and are extremely easy to escape from.
No actual side-activities outside of prostitutes and vending machines so far in my playthrough, so not hopeful that’ll improve. It’s essentially Deus Ex, just with a true open-world, driving, and melee.
So playing on my Series X at quality mode has been the best experience so far, locked 30fps at a 1500P-1700P resolution going by DF’s video today that seems to be the resolution and it scales up well on my 4K TV, it’s basically what I would’ve expected if I didn’t have a Series X and still was on Xbox one x but after I saw what the PC version looks like I don’t know if I should just stop playing on my Series X now And just wait for the next gen patch which I’m sure won’t be out for at least 6-7 months because it feels like the current Cyberpunk experience just isn’t what it should be, I know it was delayed a bunch of times but this one needed one last big delay to mid 2021.
Is anyone here playing on One X? My buddy is close to buying the game, he doesn’t have XSX yet. He just wants to know if he should get it. How is the framerate and bugs for it?
In terms of open world elements the game is vastly inferior to games like Wasteland 3 and Fallout New Vegas while also being vastly inferior to games like GTAV and RDR2 in terms of open world elements. CDPR were way in over their heads and I’m convinced management had no idea what they were doing.
I’m playing on 1X. See further back up the page for my honest impressions of this game that I was very much looking forward to, from a dev studio that I’m a big fan of.
To answer quick, I’d honestly advise your friend to wait a bit & let them get a couple of patches out. For me its just not a great experience at the moment.
damn I’d have thought Series S would be an absolute nightmare but after watching the DF comparison, it’s crazy how well it runs on there. If it is already doing 30fps in BC with DRS (going considerably higher than 1080), I’d say the next gen patch could easily give 108060 raster and 108030 with RT. Definitely gonna be great to see how it pans out.
AMD and Nvidia RT are both DXR fundamentally, Nvidia of course is a lot more ahead by virtue of being earlier and having all the additional development of ML and AI stuff. But I think a limited version could be implemented as the devkits will have also matured to a good degree by the time the patch comes out. But it’s very possible it won’t be there too. Maybe with DRS it’s possible like Watch Dogs Legion. 720-1080p dynamic would be fine for RT mode.
So it sounds like they may have upped the resolution for performance mode? It wouldn’t surprise me because 1080p sounds rather low for the XSX. I mean we have ACV running in 60fps, huge open world too and that’s a dynamic 4K.
