I’m about 10 hours in now, on PC and can run it luckily on top end settings. I’m a complete Cyberpunk newbie and have passed what was the into part the game, from the nomad path.

I am getting really interested in the story now, but a couple of hilarious bugs have appeared, mainly enemy NPC’s glitching, but nothing game breaking.

Did you see the Easter egg with a rather well known game developer in one of the missions? It made me laugh.

Been playing the 1.04 patch of cyberpunk its certainly improved the bugs and glitches and also performance issues.

Playing on a Series X and was using performance mode however I've switched to graphics mode. Performace was 1080P targeting 60FPS however it was dipping to around 45-55FPS in busy areas so I've took the hit on FPS and I like it better.
Its a rock-solid 30FPS in native 4K and Night City(especially at night) looks stunning. It'll be interesting to see what CDPR do the free next gen update next year on consoles and if it'll be one of the first games to support Ray-Tracing on a Series X.

If your playing on Consoles to improve the graphics go to settings then graphics and turn off everything in there. The only thing I've left on is lens flare.

As I've mentioned in previous posts the game really does have balancing issues with the crafting and skill trees and also it doesn't do a great job of explaining the history of the Cyberpunk universe.

There are loads of history shards to pick up and read but how many people would do that?

Ive read a few Cyberpunk 2020 comics in the past so I had ok knowledge about the world companies like Arasaka Militech and Trauma Team plus the history of The Coperate Wars and Johnny Silverhand and his band Samurai.

And CDPR have absolutely knocked it out of the park with the history of Cyberpunk.

Mike Pondsmith(The creator of Cyberpunk 2020) said he based the world off Blade Runner and you can see the influences that film has on the table top game and Cyberpunk 2077.

I might be in the minority but I'm loving this game

Not seen that although I have see a magazine with Ciri (from the Witcher 3) on the cover which is cool. There was big rumours that is was going to be in Cyberpunk as in one of the quests in the Witcher 3 she mentions falling though dimensions and living in a world full of machines

So I took the plunge and bought cyberpunk. Im a Fallout/skyrim/red dead veteran, but Im at a complete loss at this game, no idea whos who or what is what. The menu systems and map is a jungle to me. Only just managed to find the quest list.
Does anybody have any basic starter tips before I give up.

Yup. Give up.

Don't worry that side quests will come in like Skyrim on speed.

Go to your journal and scroll down this seemingly ever expanding list and have a read at something that takes your fancy.

Once you like one press the (square key on ps5 to toggle that mission active) and then only use the little mini map and yellow breadcrumbs to navigate.

Play the mission you have chosen and ignore the 30 new ones you will have stacked up by the time you have finished it.

I felt exact the same when starting it, but like the witcher and red dead. Keep on going and it gets better and better.

Anyone having problems with Cold War on PS5? It’s been crashing the console since launch day and I think it did some damage after a crash today. Decided to bin it off, which isn’t a bad thing as I think it’s shite. Just a shame I can’t level up my guns ready for Warzone. If anyone else is having issues with Cold War crashing your PS5, stop playing it. Numerous reports on Reddit and Twitter saying it’s bricking PS5’s and Series X.

Been on Cyberpunk since 9pm last night and just come off, so much better with the patch.

On PS5 under settings, graphics turn everything off and it further improves the quality.

Hardly scratched the surface considering I've just done a 9 hour shift, I've only just me Keanu Reeves. Can't wait to play some more when I finish work Wed morning.

Here's to further patches :)

Wow I've spent loads of time on Cold War since launch and not had a single crash, might stay away for a while now tho.

It seems to have a connection with putting the console into rest mode too.

I have no idea if true but I have read advice saying that at the moment do not put the ps5 into rest mode at any point, people report that it will enter rest mode but not exit. The only way to break the loop is to press the power button on the console, this causes an incorrect power off which in turn creates a "rebuilding database" action before returning to normal. This constant new rebuilding is alleged to be the main reasons for corrupt saves and bricking consoles
