That’s not a download, that’s the game unpacking. Just let it finish because it’s not like you have a choice. Mine unpacked 25% in the time it took to type this.
That's what I've done, although the speed indicator mirrors my maximum download speeds generally *taps fingers on table*
 
Downloading now, will take a couple of hours yet.

Also, I have 2 PC's, and since I'm using steam, would it be possible/advisable to copy the game from one PC to the other and let second PC find it rather have to download it from scratch again to second PC?

I think if you copy the contents of the directory to another pc, then try and install it, steam will “fix” it, or basically repair it so it’s fine.

It’s ages since I’ve done this, but I’m pretty sure it used to work.

Steam > Settings > Downloads > Game File Transfer over Local Network will do it automagically for you if both pc's are on the same LAN.

Behold! The 5800X3D unpacking!

Wow Mine must be broken. My GPU seems to be working harder than my CPU.

Something is wrong with my system.
 
Ok so looks like Bethesda borrowed CDPR's enemy spawning AI, I was on top of the roof of the tallest building on Kreet? Went up the lift to the top, exited, and turned around, only to see two goons standing there shooting at me (I stole some stuff from the offices below which they didn't like apparently...).

So far I'm 80 minutes in and have to say it plays fine, but I'm not enjoying the gameplay as much as I had hoped. There just doesn't seem to be much "life" going on, each world or moon seems devoid of character or some form of gritty life going on like there is all over Night City (example), or even in ratchet & Clank, a linear platformer but still lots of detail in NPCs and worlds... none of that exists here, the NPCs are set to high yet so far the hustle of bustle seems like it's on low.

I'll give it time, but many areas just feel like stuff is missing, and the fact you can't fly yourself on and off worlds or moons is quite sad to see. Also I have now seen those loading screens, even though they only show up for a second, a loading screen is still a loading screen, and why do you need to see them when climbing up a ladder on your own damn ship?!

The graphics also don't look that appealing to me, but I am extremely spoiled with other games like Ratchet that exceeds the quality of even some Pixar movies... Given the hype, anyone can be forgiven for expecting a cinematic experience.

I look forward to levelling up and getting some juicier weapons though.

The office I stole from and ran to the roof where NPCs spawned looking for me:

The "busy" area on the ground full of life :p

I get the feeling this will be one of those games I have installed for months and see what updates they apply to it that improve quality of life and stuff.



Nice trying now! Edit* not too fussed about this actually, fps is high anyway so no need to gain fps, and AA has no issue at native tbf.

Lol!

Another FC 6, empty of life :cry:

But nah in all seriousness, the club areas etc. look pretty busy thankfully.

Was what I loved about cp 2077, get in the city and look at all the crowds, stunning game for having a city that actually felt lived in :cool:



Going to fire up myself soon here but no hdr is a bummer.

found my first legendary item exploring some planet

seems kinda meh though only worth 900 credits which is barely anything.

It's easy to get lost in time doing side missions or just exploring planets

Unpacking taking longer than the download did for me, did someone say theres also a 15gb patch after that? At work till 1pm anyway so just have steam running on the pc. Looking forward to a weekend blast.

Can anyone confirm the FOV for 21:9 is it mega zoomed in or fine out of the box?

Did anyone else not take any traits due to the fact they didn’t know what any of it meant :p

Well, I managed to get to the character creation screen, but had to turn it of there. No time for that now.

Only disappointment so far is NO HDR!!!

Agreed, I think that’s probably my biggest irk tbh. Just makes the visuals look a bit flat.

It is however quickly hooking me, no idea where the last few hours went. Perfect no, fun, yes!

Going back to the reviews, from what I’ve seen so far, mid to high 80s seems perfectly fair.

The voice acting and animations are by far bethesdas best work.

Loving New Atlantis. Haven’t had any performance drops yet either.

Maybe the time of day. When I arrived there were about 30 people minimum visible at any one time. That then decreased for some reason, maybe they all went home :p

Edit: nope, loads of people outside the food shop or whatever it is.

It doesn't appear to support HDR. :(

Missed opportunity. HDR can make a huge difference.

There is no fullscreen option so cannot use DLDSR without changing desktop resolution which as most will know, I CBA doing because principles.

Buys an expensive graphics card to play games maxed out, but can't be asked to make a 2 clicks to increase graphics quality by quite a bit :cry::p


I count 17 people in this bar

outside that bar I count 31 people and a\bout 5 more walking around behind me + others downstairs out of view

That is why I waited and downloaded it in the morning. Was done in under 13 minutes and ready to go :D
