So Cyberpunk 2077

[trappedslider]

Last year, they pissed off a lot of people with the ChroManticore ad, which commoditizes and fetishizes trans people. And the only way to have a character with a "female" voice is to choose the "female" body (and vice-versa for "male"). Again, one of the central aspects of cyberpunk is transhumanism. So to lock down gender like this is tone-deaf to say the least.

huh, i could have sworn that my voice choice was independent of body during character creation....

Only deep-voiced characters can be identified as male, while higher-pitched characters are identified as female. The pronouns are tied to the voice, not your actual gender selection.

Then I misunderstood what you meant

I've seen a few people play through the start of the game, exploring each of the life paths. In every one of those playthroughs there were glitches. Not gameplay or progression breaking bugs, but immersion breaking ones. It would seem you don't have to play long at all to encounter them, you run into npc's stuck in T-pose quite early into the game. That is just sloppy, but they decided to ship the game in that state anyway. Inexcusable.

imagining a future where bugs get fixed, I'm looking at my wife's 3 year old gaming machine and her desire to play CP.

She's got a Nvidia GTX 1060 on a 1080P television (biggest screen in the house). Good news is, we don't need higher resolution, so a weaker card just needs to deliver frames at an easier screen size.

Will that card be enough?

What card would be enough? I've seen the GTX1660 (super or non?) is the spiritual successor, but it ain't a hundred bucks if you know what I mean.

Recommendations?

@Janx, the "Recommended" specs for CP2077 are a resolution of 1080p, and a GTX 1060 video card...so your television and graphics card should be good enough for the recommended settings. (source)

Apparently having a solid state hard drive makes a huge difference in performance, too.

Have they fixed all the glitches where the player's, err... parts keep clipping through clothes?

I swear i had nothing to do with that parking job or the flames...View attachment 130123

When I called my car in the parking lot outside a Badlands motel, it drove up, phased halfway through one of those concrete barriers, and stopped.

Then I walked up to it, and the game suddenly remembered that the barrier was a physics object. My car flipped over, landed on its roof on the barrier, then a few seconds later it exploded.

I wasn't sure if cars could explode, but after numerous hours in this game and GTA online, i can conclusively say i suck at driving lol
