I appreciate the warning. I'm honestly hoping there's a way to completely disable the lights so my cats don't decide it's the most fascinating toy in the house after I go to bed...
So, I just watched the Prince of Persia 2008 epilogue as well as the NDS game and...
What a whole lot of fucking nothing!
Welp, whatever.So in the DLC Elika is rightfully angry at the prince and it goes a bit back and forth between them. Cool, cool. That figures. But that's it? Then it just ends there, with a much more cliffhanger, than the main game ever had? Wtf?!
For sure the NDS game will fix this, right? Or it is just another meaningleass story, that doesn't even include Elika and has nothing of value to add again, and just ends with anothet "to be continued" again.
Fun Fact: Since I started playing the game, I had a pretty clear scene of the prince in my head, that he would leave the land alone in the end, through the sandstorm, and out of the blue, suddenly is lost donkey comes across.
I thought, that would be an alternate ending or the DLC or whatever, I had seen once. But it doesn't exist at all. I have no idea how it manifested in my head, where it comes from or with what I might mix this up. But now it kinda haunts me. XD
Yeah, I watched it on YouTube and didn't care for the Epilogue. I thought the main ending was perfect. When I destroyed the first tree and started to see Ahriman corrupt the land again, I quit the game. That was my ending. As hard as it was not to bring Elika back, I could not repeat her father's mistake.
Yeah, the original PoP 2008 ending was fine and didnt need the DLC. Honestly the backlash seemed to be mostly just because it wasn't a happy ending.
Like I said, I haven't played CP2077 yet. My point was more that GTA isn't a high mark for any of that stuff either. Yes, they have huge worlds with lots of stuff in it, but outside of maybe the driving none of those things are all that fun. And there's very little stakes in the sense that dying means nothing and there aren't any interesting choices to make.

ReShade helps a lot. There's user-made presents online, but you best bet is doing it yourself -- I remember using the 'colourful' option, and something else... helped cut through the greyness of Bayo1.
You can also mod in Bayo2's costume, if that interests you.
Right? The idea that GTA has stakes is completely alien to me. Dying in Minecraft is a much bigger risk lol
So gaming / hardware question.
When I run CP2077 GPU usage is at 100% all the time from the moment the game runs to when I go back to desktop its at 100%.
Temps are fine at 65C rest of the case also fine on usage and temps.
Is it at 100% bad for the hardware or is it made for that as long as I'm not mining for like 27/4 but playing long sessions on the week
3080 btw
thanks all

If you have RT on, you wont see your own reflection....kinda bothers me.
I will take a funny visual glitch over crashes or quest scripting failures any day, so I feel lucky I didnt encounters the worst bugs people mention .
What I find harder to take is that annoying electric buzz in the background whenever you read a document in game . It is really distracting .

Thank you for the info. I'm going to invest in a laptop cooling pad, before I start gaming. I don't want any heat overheating issues.
Thanks but i am dumb and don't know how to do this.
I downloaded this preset: https://sfx.thelazy.net/games/preset/7110/. I put that file where the game exe is, also activated that file when setting up the reshade but it's not activating in the game. Nothing is changing. What am i doing wrong?
I was torn and think, both are fitting decisions. But I wanted all the costumes, so I pulled through with it. :D
It would have been nice, if the game lets the player decide and feature two official endings. They could still have their sequels and just declare one as canon, like many other series do.
Repost this post i made in the Cyberpunk 2077 thread because i think this is very important for AMD CPU users:
I'm honestly shocked that this is true but i just tried and works:
Tutorial
It seems that the game use an Intel compiler and that makes the performance on AMD CPU way worst (i suppose this applies to console too?), so editing the .exe can bring you big fps gains if you are on an AMD CPU.
Screenshots of my own, before:
After:
As you see i get in this particularity scene a jump of 9fps, and the usage of the CPU goes from 53% to 88%. The game is way more stable now and drop way less. It's ridiculous and i can't understand why do they do this.
Why you gotta use that avatar, man. Just reminds me that we may never see Cate Archer again.
Actually, I'm still hopeful that Night dive(?) will some how get the rights to NOLF some day
Phil Spencer name-dropped NOLF before. Maybe he can pull some strings with Disney to get their lawyers to check their cabinetss for the IP rights.
Hey everybody, PC gaming noob here. I got the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 recently along with a 65" LG OLED CX and was wondering: if I was to buy Cyberpunk for PC and output it through my TV, would I get OLED-quality HDR or only the quality of HDR that my laptop could boast? Also, would the game be able to output at 4K through my OLED, or would I be capped by the internal laptop capabilities at 1080p/120?
I thought it was a bit more complicated than that because the IP tangled up with multiple companies.
Your laptop should output to the native resolution/refresh rate of your external display.
Someone else will have to chime in on the OLED and HDR stuff.
Thank you!! This is great to know for future reference.
I think there's a question between Disney (Who own Fox), Activision (who got some stuff from Vivendi), and WB (Who happen to own Monolith).
When Night Dive was reaching out to these companies, the answer it got was "We're not gonna bother checking if we have any rights, but if you make any moves to re-release it, then you can be damn sure we'll pay our lawyers to look into it". I'm paraphrasing John Walker's description from an RPS article a few years back.
When you connect your gaming laptop to an external display, your TV becomes your screen and whatever capabilities it has are of what you be be taking full advantage.
Your GPU determines what you can output, not your laptop's display. You have an Nvidia GPU after all.
This is what I figured and hoped. That's great news! So even if my laptop has subpar HDR, its capability to output HDR will allow it to display something like Control or Cyberpunk in native 4K with OLED-caliber HDR thanks to my TV?
As soon as you connect to an external display, all that matters are the specifications of that external display. It's that simple.
My laptop has no HDR capability but if I connected it to your LG, it would just output whatever the TV does. The laptop hardware doesn't care what screen it is using.
Sorry, yeah I know how you feel! Seeing Perfect Dark come back creates a slightly bad feeling over we will likely not see No One Lives Forever again. Won't give up hope yet, though. Happy for Perfect Dark, will definitely play it, but sad because Cate Archer is a way better protagonist than Joanna Dark. :P
Just played the first few hours of Lake Ridden, a nice Myst-alike riddle adventure in first person.
You are a young girl, walking through a mysterious wood, searching for your even younger sister. Headphones are recommended, and while the atmosphere is nice, I don't really see it necessary. It's also not meant to be scary. I'm even a bit baffled how rarely she reacts, when strange things are happening. Or if she reacts, she's more astonished than angsty.
Puzzles are fun and not too hard. Some repeat themselves, though.
Graphics are nice, but with a lot of pop ups and the like. It's a bit ridiculous how large the areas are sometimes, with nothing noticeable to find there.
You can lit candles and lamps everywhere. I don't know, if there is an achievment for lighting all of them, but I'm surely going to deserve one! XD
Sadly it makes me feel slightly nausea. It helps that it's a slow game, so my motion sickness isn't triggered too hard, but my stomach feels a bit uneasy.

Why not V-zzy
In the name of the moon, Uzz-V will punish you.
Then have a soy-burger.
Also, there are better vegan alternatives than soy for a burger.
Uzz-V sounds better to me.
Also soy food is mainly from Shadowrun, where everything is soy based (even coffee). Cyberpunk food is mostly kibble, 'A mass-produced nutrient mix that satisfies most requirements for sustenance, but tends to look, smell, and taste like the dry pet food it takes its name from.' So soy is a step up from that I'd say!
So I'm playing Fallout 4, doing the Far harbor puzzle levels, which in my opinion fucking sucks, but I'm doing them nonetheless, I wrap up the last one which is pretty time consuming and just as I finish it the game fucking crashes.. and since you cant save on those(for what reason I don't know) I lost all progress. I'm honestly at a loss for words, sure I've encountered my fair share of crashes and bugs in the game but this? no fuck this shit.
Soy coffee? Thank god for this reality inventing lab grown meat and engineered proteins cause I wouldnt want to life in a world where my future relatives had to suffer drinkign SOY FUCKING COFFEE.
Try enabling Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling, it seems to be helping with my issues.
It's totally normal for your GPU to stay at 97-100% usage when playing a big game.
Well aside from the crashes starting up the game (Cyberpunk) and getting actually into it the game has been stable so far, I could actually play.
Will try that.
Will try that.
The Xbox Series X|S controller has been working properly for me over Bluetooth after the Windows 10 October(20H2) update.
If you're still having Bluetooth issues with that controller, you may need to that to fix it.

So with Deathloop coming out next year on Steam, there's:
Think I'll hate this, but I presume this means either at least an account connection and/or Bethesda Launcher requirement? Are we likely to see it phased out in light of MS's acquisition?

Doom Eternal, FO76, Rage 2, and Wolfenstein Youngblood all have the same linking requirement. You dont need the bethesda launcher, just an account.
If they did phase it out it wouldnt be much different. You would just need an Xbox Live account instead of a Bethesda one lol
surprisingly i found that they are perfectly fine on either, no strong preference in either way
With rdr 2 i thought horse riding will be a bit rough on keyboard, but... it isn't, especially after changing the camera controls from the default. Rdr 2 shooting feels great on mouse imo. But its fine on controller as well at 60 fps.
i think GTA's so arcadey and well tuned that keybaord is completely fine HOWEVER, gamepad generally does offer a better experience. I actually just use controller for driving and mouse kb for on foot gameplay.
Fair point about Xbox Live, I guess I'm too hopeful of how things were before on Steam like Dishonored and Prey.
