This is hilarious. Just saw the DF video of the game running on Xbox One, that is some rough shit. Not only is the frame-rate permanently in the low 20's with drops to the teens, it can freeze for over a minute when driving around. When you ship a game in this state you just don't give a fuck anymore.
Going from this to XIII sure was a trip.
Not only witcher 3 had poor performance and bugs, visuals they advertised were almost cg quality and the final product was some ps3 nathan drake.jpg.
Also update routine was total shit with 3 gb patches, or maybe it was witcher 2. It took years before w3 actually started resembling a finished game. People just have amnesia or something.

I bought and played Witcher 3 last year so I'm sure that Cyberpunk will be polished and with a couple of expansions included by the time I get around to playing it.
Steams privacy settings seems to be kinda fucked. Details such as if you own it and if it's in your wishlist is shown on the storepages. Also if you buy something, it is shown on the activity page.
I don't have any drops at all with mouselook, never mind massive ones. The chart is flat. I actually have more inconsistent frametimes in most other open world games.
Finished Cyberpunk and also went back to check out a few different endings (most are naff imo, just there to show you have choices, and some drag on too long, we'd get the point with less of that tbh, I have a few more different choices to make but dread going back, it took me like half a day just to try different choices from my last save already). Maybe they do this to somewhat hide that you basically decide most of it at the end and much like push a button for this or that almost, but it's pretty transparent regardless. I think it's a 7/10 at best game, but still I finished it so I guess it's worth your time but I'd wait for a discount.
I alternated between controller and mkb but mostly stuck with mkb though it makes driving so much worse, driving isn't the core of the gameplay even if there's quite a bit at times (though I guess you can always fast travel with the transit system if you don't care about things like the racing gigs). It took me 40 hours before trying the different choices though I also left it running and took calls/did other stuff so it was probably closer to 35. I ignored almost all gigs unless they popped nearby and I felt like checking out some loot and just did the main story and some of the big side stuff (romanced Panam btw). Not deliberately or anything mind you, just what I felt like doing organically as I played through and in the end saw that I barely did any of the gigs.
My dude was level 23 with most of his implant slots empty and evenly upgraded skills by the end but still the game was easy (on normal), I can't imagine being even more powerful even if there's level scaling going on so that it throws more of the advanced dudes at you with all that super speed and auto dodge stuff some did by the end of it (the quick hacking skills wrecked them anyway). I was basically wallhacking all over the place, getting headshots through walls while they took cover so I was often killing higher level guys that dropped loot I couldn't use for 10-15 more levels so I just dismantled it all, mostly at the side stuff, perhaps the main story scales more or is just lower level to begin with, I dunno without testing that aspect further and for now I don't really care to go back.
I think it would have been way better as a finely tuned 15 hour per playthrough Deus Ex alike than this open world RPG/GTA stuff (the original Deus Ex that is, which just took you to areas of interest the story demanded and had them all meticulously designed to accomodate its gameplay and story goals rather than have a whole city where most stuff are naff and repetitive and you might as well be playing it like Borderlands just going through the motions of shoot and loot and only the big story areas are well designed in a similar way). More focused and balanced in gameplay and story. Maybe even like Syndicate (the FPS) instead of an RPG at all. The story in the end is V and Johnny's story with Mass Effect-esque branching paths and other minor variations, not a fully open create your unique character/live your cyberpunk life thing (which Bethesda does better most of the time, even while having a main story as much as I dislike those broken games of theirs, they can hook you). The bosses weren't anything to write home about but they showed up at the better designed levels and advanced the story and such so they were cool moments overall. Though often enough bugs ruined the impact of cut scenes with my character showing up bald instead of normal or general equipment style weirdness where it tried to force some stuff but failed. Anyway, it's not a trainwreck on PC but I'm disappointed still.

Epic is back with unlimited coupons once again. I wonder how long will they keep losing money on these sales. They need to become profitable one day.
I wish I could help you but I'm too old and my latest brilliant euro-jank recommendation would be probably a bad suggestion for today's standards, "Gothic II". Maybe Risen could fit better in your description but I'm not sure to be honest.
OOF
Slightly related to this image, I really wish Opencritic differentiated between platforms. Until then, it will be useless to me. Even scrolling through the reviews at a glance, it does not mention the platform off to the side.
I can easily see the 14 PC reviews on Metacritic for Arkham Knight, meanwhile Opencritic has all 107 reviews together and there isn't even a filter to select by platform. Games can wildly have different performance/UI/control/etc. issues from platform to platform, and why Opencritic shoves them all together, I really do not understand.

Question about DLSS :: Pumpkin Jack General Discussions
I know that Raytracing is enabled for Pascal cards like my GTX 1080 Ti and it obviously runs like crap but how comes it that suddenly I can enable DLSS? :O And I'm even getting a small performance boost if I enable it, as if it would work but not as good as on RTX cards with their tensor cores.
Hmmm.
It's weirdly inconsistent like this sometimes. Hiding your overall play time also disables achievement unlocks from showing up in the (new) activity feed, I read? It'd be great to have more granular privacy settings. And to disable achievement unlock timestamps. That feature feels a little invasive somehow

Reached the message of "no point of return" in CP so I've been doing side jobs all day and I find many of them better than the actual main jobs.

Game Of The Year 2020 - Half-Life: Alyx
Half-Life: Alyx is an incredible blend of the best VR concepts with expert execution, and it paints the storied franchise in a whole new light. There's just nothing like it.

Not sure if you played with the Steam Controller, but I was stuck in a weird situation where initially the game was fine with simultaneous mouse+gamepad input on Steam Controller, but then without any updates or changes I was aware of, doing this on the steam controller was suddenly blocked. Thankfully some smart person found the appropriate hex-edit needed to fix it.
Also a nice hex-edit for AMD CPU users seems to have got me enough performance to hit 60fps (bar one central city area).
With all this, mouselook has been great. No drops due to mouselook here either, at least none I can tell
Ughh! Why devs do not read the Early Access guidelines before they release their game into EA? Early Access is not meant to be a way to get more funding or a way to generate a secure income.
Intersting to know. Since it's a first person perspective game I didn't even try playing with anything other than KB/M FWIW.
Yeah, I wonder how they intend to get sufficient playerbase required for MP game with those prices.A bit pricey game
That's a surprise. I really expected this to be EGS exclusive since it's Saber. If this trend continues, I may even start to believe Mor that Epic's money hatting spree is over
Edit: seems I'm wrong, it's Warner publishing

In my honest and personal opinion, Game Pass is really doing an impressive job on niche genres, in particular.
We know the game is very pricy at least in EU, unfortunately.

I wonder if we'll eventually get a pre-order bonus that adds Left 4 Dead skins to Back 4 Blood?
Some early impressions from players of the B4B alpha are not positive :X
Hopefully more info comes out, and that the dev team can be let to fix or change things up.

Hmmm.
...wait, does this mean that DLSS is an RTX Voice situation where it's been possible all along to run it on lower-end Nvidia GPUs but they limited it to the RTX line for what are seemingly marketing reasons? I have a GTX 1660ti, would love to get that DLSS performance boost if it's possible

Jujutsu Kaisen ending theme (anime currently running)
It's a good watch too! But the ending theme is absolutely not representative of its actual content, lol.
Ray tracing has been available for ages long before rtx cards, I'm sure integer scaling can be done without tensor cores too. But shit ain't gonna sell itself.
In this case dev could name any random upscaling dlss.
What else could it be

Would have done exactly the same but something always irritates me not having granular speed control of vehicles in a game like this, and I don't like switching input devices all the time, so decided to go with the Steam Controller. If you need it, the hex-edit just needs to be applied to the game .exe
Find: 8B 44 24 54 85 C0 75 26
Replace: 36 8B 07 90 85 C0 75 26
Though it seems CDPR are now aware of the issue, so they'll probably fix it.
The AMD fix was related to SMT and also is applied to the .exe
Find: 75 30 33 C9 B8 01 00 00 00 0F A2 8B C8 C1 F9 08
Replace: EB 30 33 C9 B8 01 00 00 00 0F A2 8B C8 C1 F9 08

Dota 2 - The Mistwoods Update
Introducing new hero Hoodwink and the 7.28 Gameplay Patch
So I played through Halo 2A Co-op campaign recently and it had only 1 spot that caused us some issues. There was a loading bug or cutscene bug (hard to know which) in 1 mission where if we let the cutscene (which looked gorgeous) play out the mission would glitch out and not load for one or the other of us. We couldn't even let the cutscene start in co-op. We both HAMMERED the skip button as hard as possible and then the mission was able to play normally. That was really it. You could play the level in single player no problem, so it was co-op related somehow.
There were a few issues we had with progression not unlocking on both players' accounts as well, but I believe the latest patch or another recent one fixed that. I thought I saw it listed in there.
It really is a fantastic collection. The games are the games and if you have fond memories of Halo from your past this is a great way to do it. I might recommend people be cautious with the 120Hz stuff as I know some of the games have weird issues above 60Hz (bullets moving at 60FPS, but everything else at 120, etc). I think Halo 4 and Reach don't have those issues tho, so go wild there. It's amazing value for the money though. 6 games that used to be $60 each for $40.
Wut. Did you focus on the main quest at the exclusion of everything else or something? Because I have 30+ hours in the game and there's no way in hell I'm anywhere close to finishing it. Shit, I barely touched the three main questlines.
Good stuff : the PC version of Gears 5 received the Series X enhancements, the new global illumination looks really nice and even cranked up to 16 samples it runs flawlessly on my 3070 along with ultra regular settings. 60fps locked here.
