@sorteddan Enjoy! I loved the game and have played it through three times now; a very rare occurrence these days.
The combat can feel so cool when you get into the higher levels of upgrades. I loved being able to whizz around levels blasting people with shotguns.
The main story is really well written though and it was interesting to see so many things I didn’t pick up on first time round. But some of the side missions are also excellent, and even the more repetitive missions from fixers have plenty of story to them and variety in them too, often with different ways of doing things.
Speaking of Cyberpunk 2077. I checked out the new patch on the PS5 Pro (not even a Pro specific patch) Over 100fps 🙌
It is smooth as f***!
It is up there with The Last of Us and KCD2 in terms of an amazing unlocked fps VRR implementation. That is the future. 60fps sucks, unlocked vrr is the way. (And that is from someone that would still choose 30fps graphics mode vs a standard 60fps performance mode if it were the only choice)
@BlAcK_Sw0rDsMaN Executor's one of the characters in Nightreign. His skill is that he has his own cursed blade that allows you to parry attacks ala Sekiro, although you do suffer a movement penalty whilst using it. It's very cool though.
@Kairuuu Oh, I see, I was looking at the Executor's Blade when I made my last post, that must be his weapon. Deflecting Hardtear for the DLC could be another way to go for me as well.

@Thrillho
Thanks! I'm unlikely to get through more than once as I'm on a bit of a deadline before my PS+ sub runs out and I can get Back To The Backlog (BTTB). like I mentioned I kind of randomly stumbled into a character build because I couldn't be bothered to look at all of the skill trees... But am enjoying picking off goons with slow motion headshots and setting people on fire while hiding behind a box.
Did a side mission for the Delamain taxi guys and enjoyed meeting the varied AI constructs I had to track down, again another example of the quality of the writing and world building in my opinion.
How long did your playthroughs take? Have seen a few different numbers online. I'm just looking to complete the main story beats with a few random side missions if I stumble on them at an opportune time and not gonna attempt 100% or a platinum or anything. I'm guessing somewhere in the region of 30 hours?
I'm really getting into Expedition 33. It's a great combination of the janky Western RPG and the traditional JRPG. It exists somewhere between Persona 5 and The Witcher 2, which is just two amazing games to be compared with. So far I'd say it's even the best of both worlds, but I'll reserve a bit of judgment until I've progressed more.
Story wise it's really a @TheSolution game, by the way. I don't know why, but that's what it feels like. The story does some things I really like: it doesn't explain everything that's happening right away. It assumes your smart enough to piece some of the bits together, it adds to the mystery and it means there's less exposition, which is everyone's least favorite part of playing a game.
I'm a bit of a big JRPG fan, so I was curious what I would think of the battle system, but I really dig it. It's made in such a way that you're looking forward to every battle, and the quick time events add some excitement too.
@sorteddan I believe it took me over 100 hours to finish Cyberpunk. I did not get the platiunum nor do everything, but did do a fair bit of the side content. But i'm not a guy who can just mainline a game, as I like to explore and get side tracked too much.
I keep meaning to play the game again for the dlc, but i hear of another update dropping. Plus I wanna tie it in with watching (the horibbly tilted) Edgerunners which is supposed to be good.

@JohnnyShoulder
Wowzas that's a bigger number than I was hoping to hear. Let's hope that you are the outlier there... Either that or I'm gonna have to find me some more motivation and/or dedication or maybe just break a leg and take a month off work.
Thanks for the info though.
@JohnnyShoulder you know that patch has dropped now (I think it was the big one you mean) the one that has unlocked framerates so ps5 and ps5 Pro both improve with VRR. Whether or not they do another patch with PSSR in future too, who knows, but from a quick mess around shooting cops it was an insane level of improvement as it now runs as well as The Last of Us, which is crazy as this is open world.
@sorteddan I think it is probably a 30-50 hour game for regular people. My save was venturing into the 80 hours but I never completed the damn thing, but I am another who slow plays games and looks around at things which adds 50-100% onto completion times, I find.
@sorteddan I can check later how many hours I played, but I thought I passed the 100 hours as well. That's the main game, Phantom Liberty and a lot of side stuff, but I didn't chase the platinum.
@Ravix@Herculean
Thanks for the info guys. Seems I'm gonna have to pull my socks up and my finger out. Don't think I've ever hoped I was a regular people before.

@Ravix Yeah i saw hat and hear that it improves tings substantially. My mate is playing it for the first time, so I recommended he tuen it on, as we saw the update but was not aware what it did.
@sorteddan You might need to pull your finger out first, depending on where it is, it might be a bit tricky to pull your socks up.

@Herculean I think my characters are like level 8? Could be a bit more, I don't remember exactly.
I just got Maelle back on the team (very minor spoiler, I suppose)
@Herculean I’m really excited to play Expedition 33. I bought it already at launch when the positive reviews started pouring in. I’m glad you’re enjoying it so far and it does really sound like it’s up my alley with a nice hybrid vibe combining JRPGs with WRPGs and turn-based with action. Even more encouraging to hear that the narrative structure is so strong.
Being swallowed up in the Baldur’s Gate 3 black hole, I have no idea when I’ll actually get around to it. I will probably be trekking through Faerun for another month or so, and I usually try to alternate game types to avoid the possibility of any monotony so I don’t know if I’ll choose to do two turn based RPGs back-to-back so it might be a couple months.
Have you tried Expedition 33 on the Portal? With its turn-based gameplay it could be a good candidate. BG3 has been a decent one for the Portal, with my only complaint being that the smaller screen feels less epic for such a large game, and the game has small items to pick up that are hard to see in the environment and so that’s even harder on Portal. I suspect Expedition 33 is such a beautiful game I’ll want to do most of it on the big 4K OLED TV screen.

Definitely trying to get going with Cyberpunk again. It doesn't look flawless on consoles with FSR still being an issue (Do a PSSR update, you swines. I thought I'd never have to deal with those FSR fizzlies again 😑) But boy, it still looks pretty damn good most of the time. Going to play it when it is dark out though to make the most of how it looks on OLED 😁
This was the moment I decided that, all I was doing was heading to the megabuilding to catch up with Panam, but you can literally just drive or park up anywhere and it will look good. Too nice for daytime viewing conditions.
Anyyyyyyway... this is my build. Revolvers, Rifles and Explosives, and probably strong enough for the DLC, but I still have to call Mr. Hands and meet Tekamura first 😅💀
Am I right in saying you can't have 2 seperate character saves, as playing one will eat the saves of another? If true it is a bit of a shame as I'd have loved to have made a new character to play a bit of the early game again separately from this old save.
I beleive a few people are also currently back on Cyberpunk or playing for the first time, maybe it could warrant the thread being re-opened for those people, if there is demand. If not, here will do
