No spoilers
Butch:
I meant to play. I did. But Friday I was tired, Saturday I had Bruins tickets for Nugget's Xmas present, and then, on Sunday, I said "OK! Let's go!" only to find that I had uninstalled Cyberpunk. OK, fine. Put the disc in, and it said "three hours to go." THREE HOURS????
And it took MORE THAN THAT!
Is that normal? That's not normal. It took SO LONG.
And by the time it was done, it was time to go to hockey. I didn't even buy Phantom Liberty.
Sigh.
Try not to finish by tomorrow or something.
Loothound:
So much hockey in your life, and you're not even Canadian. Apropos of nothing in particular, but I was listening to a live version (that was performed in Montreal) of Jane's Addiction's "Sex is Violent" once, and Perry Farrell changed the lyrics to "Sex is Hockey." Cheeky fellow. Needless to say, the crowd loved it.
We had to reload Cyberpunk, too. It took about 35 minutes, but it was the PS4 version. It was able to import our characters from the Cloud, which was nice, but it reset all of our skills and removed all of the mods from our equipment. I spent last night fixing that. Phantom Liberty had been installed, but the mission never popped up for me. I'm hoping there's nothing wrong with it. It's going to take a while to become used to the controls again. There's a lot.
I had completely forgotten that when you go to your wardrobe in V's apartment that you start out appearing naked. Gave me a larf.
Feminina:
I was trying to remember what the story even was in Cyberpunk 2077...we have Johnny Silverhand on a chip in our head, and...uh...he for some reason does NOT give us magical ether powers...somebody wants him for something...there was a sentient car service...I feel like I was always picking up ashtrays to resell...good times!
Wikipedia has our back with a concise summary. Oh yeah...Soulkiller and the vault and all that! Good times.
Butch:
35 minutes?
Crap is my ps5 dying now?
Sigh.
I'm downloading the PS5 version of the game (yes, save files transfer) so that's another three hours....
Why is my PS5 so fucking slow?
Also, the internet says to play using an existing character save you have to load a previous save file from between the "Transmission" quest and the "Nocturne Op55N1" quest.
Loothound:
Ouch. I might be screwed, then. I think all of my saves have that Nocturne one as their active mission. I'll need to double check on that.
Ack! What do I do, then? I can't exactly start over. This is a huge game.
Feminina:
I feel like I saw something that said you can start a new game and click something to 'skip to Phantom Liberty' – but that's a huge pain if just getting the Nocturne Op55N1 quest IS the point of no return, even if you haven't actually made progress on it.
Hmph.
Butch:
Yeah, you can skip right to it. Or something like that.
I checked and I'm good on the saves.
And oh my dudes, have you upgraded to the PS5 version? It's free. And you must, because DAMN it is GORGEOUS.
Can't wait to see how Judy looks.....
Installing Phantom Liberty now.
Loothound:
A skip option is great, although it would be nice to play as the character that I put so much time into. I just hope I'm not going to be underpowered in the skills and equipment department if I do that.
Free upgrade? I must investigate that. I did notice last night that the graphics were a bit jerky looking…
Hmmm. Looks like I'll have to uninstall and reinstall the game to pull that off. You actually download the game from your game library, instead of the disc, but having the disc installed when you do will automatically give you the upgrade. Time to give it a shot…
Doing it now. Butch, I know why it took you so long to install…the PS5 version is almost twice as large, and that's without the Phantom Liberty bit. Yikes.
Which one is Judy again. The one with all the tats?
Feminina:
Oh man, that's a big game. And we're not even going to play it except for that one bit!
Butch:
The one with the tats. Sigh. That's my girl.
I played for five minutes and forgot how much fun it is to be in a PLACE, you know? With people and all that. I was almost happy people gave me jobs immediately.
I may just look around a while. Try on some new clothes. I'm damn cute.
Loothound:
Damn, it IS gorgeous. I may be able to play on with it. I've got multiple saves that say Nocturne, but some say PointOfNoReturn on the save and others don't. Gonna have to figure that out.
You and your tats…don't get it.
THE FUCK!?!? It strips out all of your skill points because of game differences…fine. When I went to do it yesterday I had 83 points to spend, now it says I have 56! Did it rob me of goddamn points! I don't have time to check it out because I have to start making dinner, but DO NOT MESS WITH A MAN's SKILL POINTS, GAME!!!
Feminina:
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe...skills count for more in the PS5 version so they give you fewer points? Or...something?
I don't know.
This transfer of saves from 4 to 5 is clearly not a flawless process, however.
Butch:
Uh oh. Never take Looty's skills. Or his loot.
Back away slowly…..
