Things they don't tell you:

Tiger Claws jam smart guns!  You do too with the TC tattoo on. ARG!
Pick puppies first. 50 kills later you get the best gun.

Turn on the music.

Feed the cat.

Skippy is not the best gun in the game :). 

One of the best ones is given to you by River or Silverhand's mate. 

Johnny's gun is nice to RP when you take certain decisions at the end. You will also combine it with his full outfit and Porsche. 

Skippy is nice and fun because of the dialogue lines you hear when you use it. You cannot upgrade Skippy or change it. THere is an Legendary Equivalent, I think its called Yukimura or something. No dialgoue :(. 

I picked puppies by default because I had my Satori / Mantis blades for brutality. 

I have 4 Legendary Katana's stronger than Satori but I like the poetic justice to use this one when cutting Arasaka. 

I also use Overwatch as my main sniper even though O'Five has more damage. 

There is also a  Smart SMG which is amazing and has 1600 DPS. You get this one on the roof in an area where you got the poorest Ripper Doc in the game. Poor guy has blood everywhere on the seat and floor. 

There is no stress to finish the game. 
Take your time. I will give you a tip, read only if you are interested. 

I am now working through the remaining endings :). 

PS: the best achievement in game is the SuperHero landing one

Some more pics on day :).  Oh and the 'Spanish Inquisition' meme was funny

I finished the game. Mixed feelings so to say. Especially after the leaked dev reddit post where they will bring out two major patches. One in March, one in July and by December, the 2018 game they had in mind will be released. I will never experience this first hand in a complete form sadly.

Without spoiling too much, I will say that the potential of this game was insane. The parts that were not cut too much were very good and felt like they should, however, there were many hours where you feel a big disconnect between V and the world. The city is also fractured and you do not spend enough time to interact and understand the gangs in Night City. I might be a minority but I liked the way Keanu Reeves portrayed Silverhand. What I did not like is the 'let us see what happens' approach regarding him and V. I sometimes asked myself who was the main protagonist? V , Silverhand? Both? Anyways, by the time this game is released with all the DLCs and missing content, I should have a new rig and bask in 1440p or pure 4K. 

I need sleep ...

Bookmarked!
I have cash to the side for a Rocket Lake / Alder Lake Full WC build :). 

Looking good!

Do you have the game installed on an SSD? I bet that makes a huge difference in this game.

Yeah. Its on an SSD. 
Without the AVX patch as a corpo things went well :). 20 min game crash was the price for admission *hahah*
Its okay, my laptop cuts this like a hot knife through butter.  Running it on a 2TB EVO + 3500 MB/s NVME. 

Playing 1080p cos I am a dinosaur. 

Doing the preacher mission now :). 

Not gonna spoil but there are a few freaky missions. 
If you take the time to read some of the text snippets in the game you won't be sorry for smashing everyone with a katana / mantis blades without mercy. I reached a point where I see NPCs as gang members and they completely ignore me. Some even have their brain dance on while others take a piss / smoke. My V has one motto : 'gut like a fish first, ask questions later'. 

I differentiate between photo mode settings and gaming settings. 
For photo mode I would also re-shade 

Man,  I will play this game again when I build my new rig! You making me jelly!

V is taking the night off and enjoying night city. 
Parked the weapons and Corpo Suit and took out the skimpy. 

Slowly getting there. Not the strongest Rifle in the game. I liked the owner :). 
Not the biggest hits but depending on the NPC I headshot for 75k

Shame crit stats are bugged. I was a full Deadeye build thinking all will stack with Satori's Katana. 
Seeing there was no difference I mixed deadeye with Armadillo. 
Some NPCs hit very hard. One guy gave me a boot in the face and I was flatlined *rofl*.

Have you  tried playing on your 5650X with the 1.05 patch?

 

I tried but the game runs horrendous. 
Takes 3 minutes to load Downtown. 
The bright side you can listen to the whole news snippet while you wait. 

Then when you get into combat there are moments where she freezes. 

I cannot compare before the patch because I could not advance far enough in the game. 

I will stick to my laptop as I had zero game breaking bugs or crashes. 
I do not want to tempt fate. 

New patch was just released 1.06. 

I am a bit annoyed because in this game all NPCs look better than your char :(. I a mean Corpo b*tch who is not afraid to use Sandevistan and chop heads of with the Katana. Full legendary Corpo & Mantis Blade but for the pics I gave her red shoes to match the bike and hair. 

We have a yellow warning across the country due to rain. 
I want a bit of snow to be the Yobbo I know I can be :)

Looks amazing on your machine!
I am level 32 and got 70 hours playtime :). 

I have 30 hours in the game and I will admit I was quite lucky with my experience but not at start. 
For example my old 5650X with the RTX2070 made me very sad. In the prologue for the Corpco path, I crashed constantly at one point. 

I researched the issue and there were many people with the same problem. Lack of AVX and AVX2. 

I fired up my laptop and my experience was sublime. 

Playing the game on 1080p, Ray Tracing ultra with DLSS auto and V-sync at 60Hz. 

Zero crashes all worked perfectly. 

Horizon Zero dawn had the same AVX restriction on their game a few weeks ago. 

Death Stranding is not fixed even today. 

Seems INTEL and NVIDIA paid a few things here and there. 

Without my Razer Gaming laptop, I would not have been able to play until the AVX thing would be patched. 

Has anyone tried the Psycho settings in the NVIDIA Optimization panel?

Installed this on my X5650, worked well until it crashed in the prologue. 
Did some digging, AVX & AVX2 instructions needed. 

Zero issues on my Razer Blade / Ultra Ray tracing settings. 

Will try it tonight after work. 
I hope it won't set my hardware on fire

Looking good!

This one is mine. 

Jay might get in trouble for being so transparent with his review. 

He did not recommend this with the current software and drivers. 

The card comes out of the box on a 250W limit. 

Temps on parts are all over the place with this limit and clocks yoyo as well. 

The card has excessive spikes in power draw and Linus had to swap his PSU because the bench test would shut down. 

Coming back to Jay when he unlocked the 300w limit he saw temps of 110 degrees on the card. 

Fan curve is not good with this beta software and while the clocks hit 2500 performance is all over the place. 

Classic AMD : good hardware , same issues with the software. 

Thank god there is no supply because AMD can focus on fixing both the BIOS and drivers. 

Assuming you play a certain game and you buy this. 
You find out that a 3070 is better. 

What will you do? 

The AMD FineWine (tm) should no longer be so important. 

That moment when you Visit Hobbiton in New Zealand and book a private banquet to eat & drink like Hobbitses! 

Circa 2017 

Preloaded! I clicked play thinking I can skip the wait and go for it :).
