Is Cyberpunk 2077 good now?

I only buy keys when it comes to games with DRM that won't be cracked within the next six months/ever. I don't support these developers choices, therefore I don't have a problem with buying keys for their games from places like G2A.

Would this be worth it?

An external SSD isn't as good as an internal, but it's still better than an HDD. As long as you're buying a good brand like WD or Samsung, I'd recommend it. Don't ever buy a cheap one for anything serious (you'll see 500GB-1TB external SSD's at Walmart for $30) as they will die after little use much since their lifetime write endurance is so low.

Well, on the bright side, by the time I get a new computer, this game will be like $2.99 on steam.

Oh I see. Ignore my comment then, I understand it now.

If I was to get into a big RPG I would go with Tangra's suggestion before Cyberpunk 2077.   A cool isometric cyberpunk action RPG I already have is Death Trash and it's much cheaper.  It happens to also two player cooperative and seems like it's much more fun to play that way.   Just to be funny, I like to have Death Trash's icon on my desktop right next to my Recycle Bin.

As far as external drives and their speed...
My computer only has 3.1 as well. I've been using a Samsung 1TB T5 with 600 GB of my steam library on it, and a chunk of my GOG library, and it seems fine. Then again, I don't play many new triple A games. Now I've switched to a 5 TB Seagate Firecuda, but I've yet to test it a whole lot. It's designed for 3.2 but seems alright. Those PC Gamer recommendation's only have Seagate's regular Baracuda. My USB-C port stopped working so I'm limited to regular USB. Fortunately the Samsung with USB-C on the drive came with simple USB-C to USB and USB-C to USB-C cords. The Firecuda has its own specialized port on the drive with the other end of the cord being regular USB only. Doom Eternal, Mortal Kombat 11, Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 (which I've refused the latest patch) and Castlevania Lords of Shadow 1 run fine on the Samsung. Just if I turned raytracing on, Doom Eternal's framerate would drop if I went right against below some rock ledge so I turned raytracing back off.   I guess I gotta try them with the new Firecuda drive sometime.



If you do get Cyberpunk 2077, I would get it on DRM free GOG, and also since I think that platform and game might be the same company.


Screw game key resellers.   It seems so parasitic, like ticket scalpers except they sell lower rather than higher.  The only games I buy used are physical discs or carts.  If a game has an activation key I only buy it still sealed.   I think I made an exception once.  When Blizzard screwed Warcraft III players with the forced Reforged update through Battle.net, I quick ordered a copy of the Frozen Throne add-on from ebay or something.   It actually came with two keys for it and I wasn't taking it online anyway.   Of course there's games that require being activated online but I think it's old enough that it wasn't the case.   Then I found the latest update patch I could for WCIII on the internet but it's not as recent as right before the Reforged fuckup.

@kontrakommando, if you still hadn't gotten it, and still want it - the base game is now once again 50% off on GOG (till the 22nd), with the DLC and the Ultimate Edition enjoying smaller discounts:

Fucccckkkkk

Not getting it for Xbox One because you can't get Phantom Liberty DLC on it.
