So I bought cyberpunk 2077 and it isn't as bad as people make it out to be, ignoring mods I added later which are mostly graphical anyway. So I'll start off with performance. Also how the F* can I play it heavily modded on my semi-old sorta junk PC?
? ON MAX SETTINGS WITH RESHADE...
This game must make extensive use of the GPU so its no wonder its junk on consoles.
I got an i7 920 with 12gb DDR3 ram because my motherboard is too old to support new CPUs and new ram. No I can't just go "EASILY get a job and EASILY buy a new PC anyone can do it LOLOL". I get told that all the time on steam and reddit and my response is "sure I can upgrade, send me a PC if you hate my PC so much thanks. In return if you want me to get a job so easily, because I'm disabled give me your address and I can mow your lawn and work on your garden since can't legally get an actual job" lol. Usually get downvoted to hell for it
but makes me laugh so its worth it. At least my GPU is MVP cause its a 1060 GTX 6gb card that my friend gave me
But does show where the huge decrease in performance of consoles come from. They are heavily CPU oriented, and the game obviously from my experience is GPU oriented because no way can I play a triple A game with super good graphics on this PC, unless its a GPU based game (which are extremely rare
). Which means cyberpunk will NEVER be good on consoles.
Now that out of the way...let me talk about the game itself
Its...actually a ton of fun. Like a huge amount of fun, but I do barely touch the main story and actually do play it more like GTA where I ignore most stuff and just do whatever. So maybe thats why in the game 231 hours of gameplay (according to steam, of that only 4-5 or so is actually AFK mode if I got distracted) I have more fun than others. 231 hours and I barely touched any quests at all.
As for main story. Wow is it intense as hell (at least early on, havent touched it after a certain point, no spoilers though). Never have I been so engrossed in such an intense manner in a game in a long time...last one was probably Crysis 3. Mostly as you can see not too much into stories. I guess WoW's story is pretty good as far as MMOs go, I get pretty into that. The whole game though in general when I play it, I forget the world around me and barely hear people talk to me in real life, thats how much I get into it (I am taking out of the game world by one thing ). Even just playing it like GTA, just get so into the game.
Really sums up the whole positive parts.
So...what really kills it is the AI...specifically the braindead driving/vehicle AI. But the entire AI in general is piss poor. This is the worst part of the entire game is the AI. If the AI was good, the game would be THE best game (for me) of any game I've ever played. Sadly, the AI is so bad it drops it so much that...its only better than skyrim for me, which I did get 10k hours out of skyrim...and cyberpunk is better...but the AI is just so bad it almost ruins the entire game. Luckily the other parts of the game prop it up...but its almost not enough. The AI is really that bad.
In fact, WoW has better freakin' AI than this game does and that is super sad. Worst AI I've ever seen in a modern game...actually I've seen smarter AI in morrowind...and wow is that sad...even morrowind npcs are smart enough to go around you...
saddest AI I've ever seen
