Get your game on!

We're less than three weeks away from the next delay announcement.

This will tide me over until Cyberpunk! Orchestral cover of crazy train does get one in the mood!

A little over a week left. Excitement level: incalculable.

Been waiting eight years for this.

Even in Night City, you can Praise The Sun

^^ Well, that's some bullshit.  Why do I bother living in the future?

Steam and GOG preload is live now. GOG users can actually go ahead and launch the game, though you won't get very far in it.

Reviews have me a bit scared of CPunk's launch state, though I knew from the delays that it was going to come in "hot" with tons of bugs and performance issues. CDPR would not delay a huge launch like they did so close to the goal line unless the game was in a state too embarrassing to ship.

Tom's Hardware put out a performance guide and it looks like the game is going to be a resource hog like few other games other than Flight Sim.

Fingers crossed that it plays well, but I may delay playing it until 2021 to give them a chance to fix it up.

Looks like there is a very large day 1 patch for Cyberpunk, without which it's pretty buggy. I secretly don't mind because my preload won't be done until I have to go to sleep (due to the lamentable quality of my DSL connection, which is a rotting streak of corroded aluminium). I'm probably just going to go to bed after it's down.

Edit: Oh, I have 24 hours more than I thought, I should have it in time. Hmm.

Guessing this is not going to run great on my 2014 iMac?

[TMoney]

It'll run amazing on your 2021 iMac with M1X 32-core processor though!

Glory, glory, hallelujah.

Frankly much higher than I was expecting.

AMD and Nvidia have released updated drivers for Cyberpunk 2077, so be sure to update before playing the game today.

Done and done.

I always do my own driving.

You should try letting someone else drive you, Steve. You might like it.

WOW. It is beautiful. This art style is incredible. It also is absolutely pile-driving my PC in to the ground. Getting sub 60fps even with the 3080. RTX on ultra, natch.

3080 struggling 😦

I've decided to wait until the bugs are worked out. It'll probably be a few months.

The visuals in this game are just mind boggling. A few screenshots from the 4k Ray Tracing-Ultra preset I'm playing on.

I'm getting like 50fps but it is hard to turn anything down, particularly the ray tracing. The difference is so dramatic that I think I'll just take the pain and play below 60hz. This is the best ray tracing showcase on PC right now, full stop.
