Decided i wont play with Ray tracing on no matter how good it look. The inconsistent fps is killing me. I'll just deal with the 100+fps with no Ray tracing. Game still looks good without it.

The Cyberdeck level for opening ICE 2 chests is

I'm fighting my way in the upper Archology tier (feels like all previous hours in the game we're just a tutorial, now finally I get what all those different weapons types are for...energy beam FTW!!!!) but I just realized.....how can I change skins? Grifter only shows defaul but I'm pretty sure I picked up dozens.

Also, for some reason I don't understand (maybe it's a bug, but not sure, maybe it's an augmentation feature) my face doesn't change anymore if I change the head armour, I"m just completely covered with cyber jacks. .

Game is amazing anyway , loving every second of it.

May be related maybe not...

I was having this issue when playing with a friend and didn't realize what was happening until I started a different co-op file with my wife and was able to take my time and read the tips pop-ups...If you HOLD X when picking up a weapon or armor piece (maybe skins too?) they will auto-equip. If you TAP X they will go to your inventory.

In my initial playthrough I was holding X on all the items and my gear was constantly changing and I didn't know why @_@
Well there you go. I felt like it was happening when I was holding a button but couldn't replicate it. The odd thing is though, I never actually picked up the weapons, my co-op partner did. So I wonder if I was somehow holding it when he picked it up and then it auto equipped. Will have to test more. Thanks!

how can I change skins? Grifter only shows defaul but I'm pretty sure I picked up dozens.
This is an issue I ran into with a friend. I still can't figure it out either. We got the option once, I changed one to the 'Police' skin but can't seem to do them again no matter who I talk to. Only default option.

Played until you get to the hub area last night and holy shit this game looks insane visually. Pretty impressed so far and I'm excited to play more this weekend.

Hi, we have noted this bug! In the meantime: creating a new file on your current character will overwrite it, but what you could do (which is a bit of a workaround) is to either join another friends game and save after that, so you have a new location. Or create a new character locally, and start a local co-op game and join with the other one. Both of those should work to give you a new resume position.
Thank you, couch co-op with an alt character got me back to a playable state! Loving the game so far, I appreciate the advice.

On another note: I know this is going to sound crazy, but I'm enjoying playing this at 720p with DLSS Performance. The pixelated, grainy image quality feels appropriate. Like I'm viewing the game through some retro style cyberpunk monitor.

Did around 3 hours of co op with someone. I was the host.

We wanted to continue playing, but the quest menu is empty :( There's no waypoint. We still have our levels and equipment, but the quest log is wiped and we start from the very beginning.

I'm afraid I'm going to drop this game. I'm not going to replay hours of a game without being certain the game is going to save progress. For a game that is supposed to have good co-op I'm dissapointed.

I don't have an RTX card so DX12 is mostly useless for me, but sticking with DX12 and making the tweak explained in this video seems to have helped the stuttering a bit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W28645UtZpE I might experiment and compare it more to DX11 but so far I think it's been smoother. Have to test more to see if it's a placebo effect.

I really wanted to like this but I'm finding it boring and repetitive, maybe it's better with friends idk. The map is also pretty bad and I've run into a lot bugs.

The soundtrack is really good though, that was the highlight for me.

How is this game solo? I've heard it's best played in co-op, but is that simply because it's more fun that way or is it actually more difficult to play alone?

Just got to level 17 solo and I honestly the game is fine solo, I'm enjoying the hell out of it. I would say though, make sure you run through all of the tutorial information in the menu's and when the game gives you a recommended level for certain things, take it as a warning, I've been jumping into fights with enemies 5-7 levels higher and they don't mess around, but the better drops are so worth it. If you're adequately leveled for missions and the areas you're walking around in and are leveling skills like a non-weirdo you should have no issues.

Had a shaky start coming to grips with the shooting mechanics but once I did, I'm having a great time with this game. Apart from audio glitches, no issues so far. Dying a fair bit taking down high level mobs, got to level 12 quickly. Love the mechanics, the loot, the atmosphere, the density of it all, and the level design is great too. The music is fantastic. Hope I can grab it someplace.

Really weird that this doesn't support HDR on my Series X. Not auto HDR either. This game would be an HDR showcase for sure - it already looks fantastic as it is but those city highlights would really pop.

Between this and Flight Simulator I'm feeling really spoiled by Game Pass this week.

I was worried that my Trading Places quest had bugged (all objectives were checked and nothing showed on the map). Luckily, when talking to the quest giver a few more times it progressed to the next stage and finished.
I'm enjoying the game quite a bit although there certainly are some rough edges in terms of bugs. I also perpetually feel lost and am not sure how to get taxis, etc...

How does the game run on SX? Really tempted to get started, if I can prise myself away from The Great Ace Attorney and Uncharted 4.

There are some issues with the core game:

The map is horrible, absolutely bad. It is impossible really to understand where you are, how to get from one point to another. Want to find a certain chest or vendor, good luck.

The UI/Menu, is serviceable, but fundamentally hard to navigate and understand what you are looking at. What do all these stats mean? I really feel like there needs to be a cursor or something in the UI.

It can be exceedingly frustrating just walking into the wrong area and not knowing the enemies you are about to see. Instantly got one-shoted.

Really wish you could adjust the FOV or something, feels way closer than it should be.

I am just going to wait for it to get fixed up. It is so, so buggy right now. My friends armor was just getting deleted everytime he unequiped it. HUDs constant disappear. People get stuck in menus. It even slowly zoomed in on my character until all I could see was the top of her head. Was pretty funny but the last straw.

This basically sums up how I feel as well, I'm sure some of this will get patched up quick

What platform/version are you playing on?

Runs perfect on my Series X and S. Only saw a very slight stutter once when entering into a new area riding a lift. Otherwise flawless. The more I play it, the more I like it. The shooting feels amazing and the graphics are phenomenal.

Please Neon Giant make a sequel. A CRPG in this world woukd be sick.

I must have missed something in a tutorial. If you pick up a weapon that you already have equipped does it just replace that one if the stats are higher now?

If you pick up a second copy of a weapon or gear in general it just duplicates it. If you have upgraded a gun all additional copies will be upgraded. You just sell the excess to the vendor. You'll notice it has a 2+ in the corner if it is a duplicate. Again, some of this stuff just isn't generally intuitive, but they did mention it somewhere in the tutorial.

Loving the game on Series S. Fun gameplay, the IA feels clever and the art direction is top notch. My only complain is the map. Like, it's pretty useless. Also I'm not sure about how well the currency is implemented in the game, because my only expense is the taxi.

They stack and there is no randomized Diablo style loot here all weapons of one type are exactly the same if you don't upgrade them so more like Dark Souls.

Really enjoying it, but I second the issue with the text size, it's so small that I'm constantly squinting to read it from my sofa, it's particularly egregious when talking to somebody as the black bar at the bottom of the screen is huge so it could easily be bigger.

We have one of the developers in here?

Who made the OST?

Main menu music sounds like a mix between something from Blade Runner 2049 and this from Ghost in the Shell:

Haven't bought the game (yet). Not sure I'll enjoy the gameplay. But man the graphics look like the absolute pinnacle of what used to be prerendered visuals. Like for what the game aims to accomplish visually, it's hard to imagine it could be even a bit better.

I dunno, I really don't mind the map. It's only really confusing for me when it's an area I haven't visited before... but for chests and stuff, I don't think it's a bad thing that you have to at least put a little legwork in to find stuff.

Pretty sure you can change the text size. Though maybe that was on Flight Sim? Been playing a lot of new games...

Nah an fairly sure you can at least tweak the subtitle formatting.

You can tweak subtitles but the UI elements are still small. In particular it feels hard to at a glance see what you're picking up or getting as rewards as they're super small in the bottom left.

Did anyone else get instantly wrecked by the boss in the reactor (Deepstink), because it spawned with multiple copies of itself? I just got insta-BBQd by a screen full of flame. LOL YOU DIED.

After I respawned there was only one copy of the boss, which was more manageable. Looks like a buggo.
