With all the payment processor stuff going on today, made me realise that they're not an issue in Cyberpunk 2077 at all. In real life they'll fuck with your ability to buy and sell firearms but in game not a single peep, you can just walk into a gun store, buy weapons, ammo and weapon attachments even the highly regulated suppressors, same with buying whores and BDs at no point does a payment processor step in and say you're not allowed to buy that as it'll affect our reputation. What a crazy dystopia.

That's because its all direct peer to peer financial transfers. Turns out the payment processors were such assholes all the megacorps just decided to work around them instead of put up with them.

Oh, and uh... all those guns aren't just regulated, they're straight up illegal. But Night City is such a shithole that even 50 years ago during the 2020's nobody gave a shit what you were packing as long as you weren't waving it at them. Well, corporate security might take it personally if you carried an automatic weapon into their well-patrolled areas where its relatively safe, but anywhere else? Yeah, NCPD would have few fucks to give about an otherwise law-abiding citizen having a few automatic weapons in their possession, especially if they've been used once or twice to clean up the streets.
 
Digital Foundry's overview on Cyberpunk 2077 on Mac's dropped.


Couple of interesting things is that Apple supplied DF with some Macs for it. A M4 Mac mini, M4 Max 16 inch MacBook Pro, and a M3 Ultra Mac Studio.

Shaders preload on start (I've noticed the same thing with Robocop Rogue City, personally), and ray tracing seems to hurt.
Some shimmering with MetalFX, and the MacBook Pro lasted 78 minutes on default For this Mac mode, with HDR brightness set to full. No performance hit from battery.

M4 Max estimated to be around 4060 levels of performance.
M3 Ultra hovers between 4060 and 5060 Ti, but closer to 4060.
M4 Mini falls behind a AMD RX 6600, however outperforms a Steam Deck by about 47%.


I'd say the M4 Mini's a more realistic estimate of average Mac performance, in fairness.
 
The new update sort of solves the “Chicago gone wrong” bit that Mike Pondsmith mentioned months back. Apparently this new location is called “The Plex” and it’s said to be situated from Boston to DC.

If you know anything about the cyberpunk subgenre, this is clearly modeled after William Gibson’s “Sprawl” or the Boston-Atlanta Metropolitan Axis and Cyberpunk’s version of “The Plex” is likely the NUSA/possible secondary setting in Cyberpunk 2.

Yeah, that's just what currently exists now, but cyberpunk. IIRC that place wound up becoming MegaCity One in the Dredd comics.

It's not Poland or Russia in 2025, it's a fictional future sci fi dystopia.

Are you learning disabled or something?

You make a point about why people in the game are ugly and I explain how your point doesn’t have a logical basis. Then you say ‘oh it’s a fictional dystopia’. Why the fuck does a fictional dystopia need to have everyone look ugly? That doesn’t make sense. Any made up world can make up anything it wants, that doesn’t make it free from criticism. The women in this game are fucking uglier than a Toronto brothel. It’s retarded.

go ahead, tell me you wouldnt tap that ass
 
It’s fictional dystopia future California, everyone there already looks like a mystery meat abomination. Just give it another 50 years and the game will be considered prescient.

Are we really bitching at how the game looks post patch 2.0?
Click to expand...
Yes because post–patch 2.0 didn’t patch how ugly the characters are and it also relates to the sequel which is surely going to be even more pozzed than this one. I’m tired of Western games trying to make people as ugly as possible. It’s abhorrent and makes the games less fun. Look at old Cyberpunk and Shadowrun art. Of course Cyberpunk as a genre can have beautiful characters.
 
If you're so porn addicted you can't play a video game set in a dystopian sci-fi shithole where 99% of people are scraping by on ultraprocessed slop and energy drinks because the female characters don't look like Instagram model blow up dolls, you need to kill yourself immediately.

Ah yes liking beautiful things means you’re porn addicted. Okay. Seriously? Kill yourself. You’re part of the problem. I will tap the sign because you’re a fucking retard:

I don't think this is restricted to games. I think there’s an intentional strategy that’s done where heterosexual erotic themes or just, you know attractive character design aesthetics in popular art forms are censored and repressed, and then you get every he/him or they/them nerd (some of whom are well entrenched in the entertainment industry) saying “just watch porn my dude it’s that simple". Things must either be bland and sexless, or outright pornographic. Nothing outside of those two things, which leads to, again: “What’s the matter? Just go watch porn bro!” To these people, a female character in a string bikini is a bridge too far. They can't comprehend that people can like fanservice without it being jackoff material. There's no difference, apparently, between Bayonetta and "Nasty Backdoor Whores, Vol. 25". Zero difference between some shovelware porn game and, say, Rainbow Mika wearing a revealing outfit.

The sort of people who think female characters in fighting games like Street Fighter need to wear more concealing outfits and cheer on censorship are the same ones telling you to watch graphic pornography instead. A lot of these people are the same whiners who say that film crews should have “intimacy coordinators”.

An increasing number of people, if you can classify them as that, make it incredibly plain they believe that sensuality and sexuality should only exist in an explicit pornographic context. It is a very anti-human idea.

I get that you suffer from the sunk cost of buying a 3080 and need to consoom AAA game but you retards all keep falling for the same bullshit over and over again: overhyped shit game is revamped with patches and DLC and is now worth playing, let’s buy it! Okay, maybe it’s good. But don’t cope yourself into thinking all is well. All you’re doing is rewarding CDP for being absolute morons. You’re not even throwing a bone to ‘hard-working developers’ at this point. Most of the people who worked on this game are already gone. TW4 and Cyberpunk 2 are getting worked on by a completely different team. You’re just lining the pockets of Keanu Reeves and some marketing consulting agency at this point.
