Cyberpunk 2077 - PC Game Review

 I imagine every gamer out there heard about Cyberpunk 2077. There was a discount on Steam, so I got it.

I just played for a short while so far, but it seems nice - I like the stealth and hack mechanics (not sure if this is from the source material, but the RAM thing seems a bit silly), and the shooting part seems satisfactory, too.

Graphics are good, even in my 3 year old PC with a GTX 1070, although I get mostly 30-something FPS at QHD (1440p).

I will probably update this as I play more.

Update:

I like the Braindance investigation thing. It was a little slow, though. 

Which applies to a lot of things in the game so far, it is fun and everything, but 30-60 minutes will pass and almost nothing really happened...

Driving is OK, but not good...


Update (07/Jun/2021):

I have played 75h, and finished the game. I didn't take all the side-missions, but took a whole lot of them. 

I do really appreciate that there were many ways to solve each mission - full stealth, hacking, just shooting everyone, using blades, etc. 

The fixed difficulty of missions make them less fun - at a certain point some were SUPER hard (i.e. shots on the head from stealth did almost no damage), then you increase your level and they are trivial. A middle ground as well as replays would be nice.

It was very good value (I paid R$150, which were like US$30 at the time - so less than 50 cents per hour). I don't intend to replay right now - doesn't seem worth it. Maybe if they add a new game plus eventually (gee, we are just 6 months after release)...

Solved - You have an incorrect version of driver "vmx86.sys" - VMWare Workstation 8

I have just installed VMWare Workstation 8 over my old VMWare Workstation 6.5 on Windows 7. On my first run I already got the error message: Could not get vmx86 driver version: The handle is invalid. You have an incorrect version of driver "vmx86.sys". Try reinstalling VMware Workstation. Failed to initialize monitor device. Obviously, I was concerned, but there is a simple way to solve it - just right-click the VMWare Workstation icon and use Run as Administrator. This is a bit annoying, but at least it is easy to solve. Update: I forgot to mention it, but as Dave said on the comments, you can right-click on the program shortcut, choose Properties, Compatibility tab and check Run as Administrator so that it will always run properly. Thanks, Dave!

[Fixed] Just Cause 3 Mouse offset

I've sort of "fixed" my mouse offset problems and cursor exits from Just Cause 3. For whatever reason, both seem to happen sometime, specially if I need to change focus from the game. Sometimes just going to another app and returning solves it, otherwise if I go to Options, Graphics, and turn full screen back on (or turn it off and on again), it seems to get fixed. However, still annoying.

Pragmatic Programmer: From Journeyman to Master

I've read Pragmatic Programmer: From Journeyman to Master last week. It was pretty good, although if you have a few years of experience and good practices, you should be familiar with most of what it says, even if you don't follow it in practice :-) . Some of their bullet points are: - Don't duplicate - Write flexible code - Use Contracts, assertions and exceptions - Test - Automate where possible - Use a version control system. Obviously, many of these points have a lot to do with refactoring and XP. They also have another neat book on Automation, Pragmatic Project Automation: How to Build, Deploy, and Monitor Java Apps . Obviously that is much less relevant to a Delphi programmer, but you can still learn quite a bit from it. After I started reading it, I automated large sections of my build and release process (in PHP - it's easy to use in the command-line, too, and some parts are re-usable on the site). It saves a lot of time and enables you to stop worrying if you ...
