Yea I had a look and it never did get an official PS5 release, you can only buy the PS4 disc version otherwise you can buy it on the PS store and download the PS5 version immediately, but that costs more than a sealed copy of the disc version so why do that

What a comeback. I think this is the first time Baldur's Gate 3 has been beaten by a single-player game in concurrent player numbers in steam since it was released

I'm probably not gonna touch the DLC for a good 2 weeks. Started a new build and don't want to rush. Sucks I can't play with everybody.

So I said fuk it and decided to start over. Original playthrough is at lvl 42 with Hanako waiting at embers for quite some time.

Everything feels different. I feel like if I tried to respec into what I had before, I'd just be lost.

I'm skipping through the dialogue I remember so I can quickly get back to the questing.

Last time was throwing knives, gorilla arms type build. This time I'm going with Katana since it can block fukking bullets, throwing knives for sneaky snake action, and not sure what guns I wanna use yet.

I like the cyberware changes, and it seems like going to a ripperdoc is going to matter more than before. The crafting is better since I don't have to keep track of a million pieces.

This might end up being one of my favorite games. When I catch up to where I was before, I'll probably buy the DLC.

Crazy to think this is where the game is now compared to the disgusting PS4 release. Not even hyperbole, the OG PS4 release was embarrassing, though I still enjoyed my time with it for the most part. Then 1.6 finally fixed it, but when I got the PS5, I understood why people said they never should have even attempted to release the game on last gen consoles. Now we have 2.0.

Imagine the hype if it released like this.

Nah you're doing the right thing by not rushing. This game is rewarding to players who take the time to smell the roses so to speak.

I pre-ordered the expansion but I probably won't be in Dogtown for a good few days too.fuark i've decided to go with the strength type + blunt melee weapon build but you reminded me of the katana being able to block bullets. i'll probably have to reset attributes and respec

Lmao

Chit changes when you can block bullets like Ruroni Kenshin

I did a 100 percent shotgun build in my first playthrough. Did not stealth even 1 percent of the game. Ran in with my double barrel like a manaic and killed everyone in every mission.


Might do mele this time around to change it up. I ain't about that stealth life, I'm bout that cyber murder life

I also didn't realize the mele builds were so cool until I finished playing lol


Gunna start playing today finally.

are there elements that lock for your built or can you reset and "rebuild" as you please during a run?

I think I saw something in that regard but not really sure anymore

I'm going Stealth Hacking since I didn't touch it the first time.

Got 2 new builds. Stealth Hack & Pure Melee.

Yeah you can always respect your entire skill tree. I had to do it once like halfway through my first playthrough cause i was fukkin up my build.

I think it might cost credits or whatever the in game currency is

Lolol yeah maybe I'll do that too... I did not do even 1 skill point into hacking lolol. Literally brute forced the entire game

You can always respec and redistribute your perk points. However, from what I heard, you can only reset your attribute points (body, reflexes, tech, cool, int) once.

My first build was shotgun, but thinking about it, it's Cyberpunk. If you aren't doing any hacking, what are you doing?

Yeah it kind of fukked up the flow of my game at some points, I also didn't realize how powerful hacking could be either.

I love hacking optics then killing the target. The best one is the kill command where they are forced to commit suicide. You can certainly have a lot of fun just doing guns blazing but you can be a downright evil monster with some stealth and hacking.

Never went deep into that tree. Maybe that + blades would be cool. Toss knives and hack people, and if I get caught, chop then the **** up.

or walking up to a dude, quickhack Weapon Glitch then quickhack Cripple Movement and blast him in the face while hes freaking out.

played this game at relese on ps4 and it was a disaster as everybody knows. was super disapponted and forgot about it. now after this update its one of my favorite games of all time. makes starfield look like a mobile game.

I'm experimenting on a body + tech + int build right now and i thought it's going to be trash because it's too hybrid but weapon glitching enemies and then getting close to them with a shotgun is so good lol

And i might be sticking with the blunt weapon build. Deflecting bullets with a sword is so good but I wanna try smashing the ground with a hammer and and also throwing bodies lol

It's impossible to understate it. It was an industry-defining event, and lead to 3 full years of holiday-slated games being pushed to February releases.

I just started it. Are there any settings in the options I should adjust for a better experience? Already turned aim assist off and put the difficulty to hard mode. Turned film grain etc off too

I'd also turn off chromatic aberration, depth of field, and motion blur.

I'd also turn off the overhead damage numbers. They'd just obstruct your view of the enemy sometimes and just add clutter to the screen. You won't need them much. It's on the interface options.

Once you're more experience you can turn off more HUD to free your screen more

I'm 2 hours in. Why tf is HDR off by default? Turned it on and the city comes alive, neon glowing bright, lights actually look like lights etc, but it completely greyed out the blacks. Messed with the settings and had to turn on Black level enhancer on my TV to make the blacks blacker and it looks decent now. But holy chit thats some of the worst HDR implementation of any game I've played.
Man this game has a lot going on, hard to wrap my head around but I guess that's the case with all RPGs if you're new to them. Beat up some beta robot in a boxing ring, now I'm out in the city ready to start doing missions. So much fkin lore, at least 15 mins were spent just reading chit and browsing the websites/emails in game. I can see myself getting wrapped up in this game. It gives me serious G-Police vibes, I wonder if the devs took some inspiration from those games

PS5?


HDR on PC looks pretty busted for me ... I prefer it off.


Can a pccel confirm?

I used hdr, but I did use some reshade mods to enhance it.

Tip to new players:

Get the Reinforced Tendons leg cyberware as soon as you can. It'll allow you to perform a double jump so you'll be able to get around areas easier and it's just fun.

Agreed but I like the big jump over the double jump

Yea. Did you go into the HDR options in game? Google around for settings, but really you need to use your TVs picture settings to fix it, or mods on PC

Kinda connected to the discussion above. Any pccel nvidia cuck out there who have tried nvidia game filters for this game? I imagine you can get pretty good results. Might experiment on it later. I've tried it with R6 Siege to make the colors more vibrant as it can help you identify enemies easier.Haven't tried that actually. I might later, for a change.

Oh Snap, this may be a good loadout for my Melee build. I know I wanted to go pure melee, but not sure what else.

I think I'm gonna go for a Dark Knight build. I'm thinking Max Melee, Max Vehicle combat, Stealth, Fast movement, and just enough intelligence for weapon glitching.

Yep it still looks off to me.


Black brahs in the game have a weird shade of black when hdr is turned on, no racist ... might have been the lighting in the particular area tho lol.

Or maybe I'm just spoiled by the oled, but cant hook up the PC to the tv to try it out anyway.
