I only have 1,500 eddys and will casually explore night city today to earn some.
Wow, I thought I was behind, but then I've not spent any money on anything, I was looking to upgrade my OS for more ram slots and so now I have that money for that. From there, I can pick and chose what cyber upgrades to shoot for.

I just dropped $15k on new RAM. :cool:

Has anyone on console had an issue with ADS sensitivity? If I set my regular horizontal and vertical sensitivity speeds to where they're the most comfortable, it's ridiculously fast for ADS sensitivity and I can't seem to do anything to meaningfully slow it down in settings.
 
@BlankStar?

Are you alive?😁 I haven’t heard from you in awhile, I figured you’d chime in with experience/thoughts so far.

[Also, word is through a podcast, that CDPR is releasing another ‘stability patch’ sometime before/after Christmas, but purportedly aiming for December.] Which wouldn’t shock me, being they take feedback pretty serious, given their reputation.

WHOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. NIGHT CITY BABY!

I'm sooooooooooooooooo loving this game. And yes I've had at least 8 crashes where I'd have to reboot the game, but the PS5 doesn't take that long to restart it all, so I'm cool with it. We whined when they delayed, so here it is, still with bugs. They just released a statement apologizing to us all and promising they're going to work hard the coming months and will try to fix all bugs.
That said: what a game! The setting, the vibe of the city, the beauty, the filth, ... Man, I truly love it! And I feel like I'm still just scratching the surface. Just like I loved just riding my horse around in RDR2, I'm loving cruising with my bike around Night City. It's a beauty, just give it some more time to get all the kinks out, ignore all the whining <female dogs> and enjoy the city! BlankStar out.
 
Ooooh snap. I was at a nightclub and saw a great looking car and was able to walk up to it and steal it. Netrunner perks. :cool:
 
Gamers made a fuss over crowd density on consoles and PC... but it's too much. It's faster for me to walk/run on the road with the cars than on the sidewalk. haha... even the people in the crowd are tripping over each other, but they don't get mad, like at V... lol...

I have over 17,000 eddys. I know I want to use it for a mission... for specific item(s)... but it's a lot to give up on a mission. But the pay out is huge... those damn clickbait YouTube vids... hahaha

What mission, I have 12k and I'm about to put that down for a OS upgrade - its one of those things that was recommended on those clickbait YouTube Vids :p I may poke around the city shooting and looting to add more $$ anyways

I also saved up to pay Vik the ripper back. I felt guilty owing him money.

I avoiding posting spoilers... even if the vid is titled "Spoiler Free". I'll DM you the vid... but if others are okay with spoiler tags in this thread, I'll update this post. lmk...
 
Honestly this game is insane. I really really hate I have to play in first version view. Even more so driving in that view sucks!!!!

playing this on ps5 I just don’t see how it could possibly run of a ps4. I know developers want to sell to as many people as possible but it’s just not possible to enjoy this in a 7 year old system

The crowd density on Series X is much greater than pre-game release gameplay showed. I think the density is on par with PC with the odd street being too crowded. :D

I play in quality mode on Series X and it runs very well. When I play the game I set the TV picture mode to Vivid to compensate for the bad HDR and lack of visual pop compared with PC.

For some reason... that quote looks like mine... LOL.. So good to hear that the Series X is doing well, and you are having fun with the game. This game should be enjoyed... not compared... which many people tend to do. Looking forward to read more experiences everyone is having in this game.

What the heck? One of the quotes listed above as mine isn't mine either!

Dude, I was getting concerned that I wasn’t seeing you in here. I feel better now knowing that your life has been immersed into Night city like the rest of us.😁

I haven’t had any crashes yet, I do see glitches, frame rate issues, but they’ll be plenty of patches in the next six months and added content. The game has lots of potential, and I’m just getting started. Definitely keep us posted with your thoughts and definitely visit more often in this thread!

I just got my first motorcyle and it's going to be hard to go back to cars. I can actually control it in first person and in third person I can see my character.

I've used a few motorcycles... a few left behind after owners picked a fight with V just passing through.. lol... Another thing I like about motorcycles is bypassing traffic. I like my current motorcycle... which was gifted to me. Funny glitch... one time I summoned my motorcycle, and a truck exploded immediately and flew in the air. Walked over to see what happened, and my motorcycle was there waiting for me in the spot where the truck exploded. LOL....

Got my first legendary item today, found the Overture revolver. Funny enough I was building out more of a handgun build anyways. I spent time just around the city shooting people, lol, and that increased my skills anyways (this was before getting the handgun) I'll probably put points to reload times to reduce those

I found good success in looking at the map for NCPD organized crime missions, those are simple, just go in with guns blazing. I spent a good part of yesterday and this morning doing those sorts of things. Between collecting junk, food along the way and breaking down guns galore I've also seemingly picked up nice components.

This morning I did my first cyberware upgrade, the name escapes me, but the skeleton one where I increased carrying capacity by 60 I also opted against any sort of OS upgrade, I was gunning for that, as for my first upgrade but given my game play I'm doing a whole lot less hacking and whole lot more shooting so that upgrade has been shelved.

I've only done the first main quest in Act 1, and I'm still having fun doing other things around the city. I was wrong, at first it felt like the game was less open-worldly but ther is a fair amount of diversity and interest things to do, as mentioned I'm partial to the NCPD missions. It might not be on the same level of Skyrim, but its good in its own right.

Finally a 2 part question for those who are farther into the game; Last night I was just going crazy shooting and I got a warning that I'm doing stuff illegal and I could get a NCPD bounty. Any info on that? (I stopped those things and went against known hostiles).

Secondly, anyone get into a shootout with the police. I did a quick save and tried but I got overwhelmed as more of them spawned in. Any long lasting impacts, i.e., NCPD will always be hostile? I didn't survive the last attempt otherwise I could find out
 
So there’s alleged reports from a podcast that CDPR is actually refunding customers directly from their own accounts for a ‘physical’ copy if you purchased the game (If retailers won’t permit a return due to policy/procedure), digital refunds have to be made direct through Microsoft or Sony. I don’t know about you, but that says a lot about this company as a whole that they truly do feel bad about what happened, let alone they actually made an apology and there one of the first developers to actually offer a refund directly after a launch for a major title. Now, I’m keeping my copy, but nonetheless, I think others need to give this game a chance before they completely shun it.

This is déjà vu of what happened with No mans sky, completely fell flat after launch, and you can see how it’s flourished today. That’s exactly what this makes me think of, so it’s looking more promising given the updates staggered over the next two months.

Its not alleged, they actually are but its specific to the PS4 and Xbox One given the poor performance. Plus there seems to be a rather short deadline, i.e., one week. From what I've seen and ready, both Microsoft and Sony have been rather open to refunds on the digital copies even if there are hours invested.

I don't think people were very successful in getting refunds from steam if your well over the 2 hour play time limit for for refunds.

Link to the apology and refunds

I got a bounty when I actually ran over some people when I was driving. (I can't see in first person and it wasn't my fault!) It told me to lay low and it would go away, which it did.

How do you refund physical copies? Without saying send me the game back. I see the game going for $30 used online already haha. Should have waited and got it super cheap from someone dumb enough to try to play it on a 7 year old system. Does Ghost of Tsushima or last of us 2 run well one base model/launch ps4?
