I'm playing this game on Google's Stadia and must say I'm impressed and having a blast. Besides some minor bugs this game streams flawless in 4k to my Mac (which technically isn't even a supported platform for the game, but is for Stadia). I bought the game during last weeks promotion with a free Chromecast Ultra and controller, so I would have at least had some hardware for cheap should the game itself suck, but the…

How is the latency? Do you feel any lag when moving your mouse / character?

None at all. I've had a few action sequences in the story now and they all went smooth. Sometime quality notably drops, but not pace/framerate. The one time I had an issue with frames dropping was because a local computer downloading files and causing bandwith spikes. But I think with some Qos on the router that should be fixed. Average bandwith usage of the game is between 10-20Mbit.

How are you getting 4K on a Mac? I'm also playing Cyberpunk 2077 on Stadia and I've been quite positively surprised by it. However, I'm not really sold on Stadia generally yet. There's definitely some input lag and I can feel my mouse movements being "spongy". I'm also having a hard time driving, but I don't know if that's the input lag or just the game. Also, even if the game is running at the best possible graphica…

You can use Chrome extensions to modify Stadia, I used Stadia+[0]. You can force 4k that way even though it's not supported. I don't have any noticable input lag but I'm on 70/30mbit fiber with 3-4ms ping to stadia.com. Sometimes the stream quality drops for a sec, but no noticeable frames or audio dropped. I agree with the darkness being to bright, couldn't fix it with the gamme correction either. I have a feeling t…

This makes more sense now. I also noticed lag. Not everyone has access to fiber internet for various reasons.

Runs great on Stadia compared to PC (in my experience playing on both platforms). Google needs to make something of this. I even tried running it from Chrome on my old MacBookPro 2015 and was thrilled it worked and was a great experience.

Out of curiosity what are your PC’s specs?

Early access. It’s a great way to release software. CD Projekt missed a trick here by not taking this route.

Early access is usually great for multiplayer games. For single player, story driven games, early access serves as a way to spoil the game for customers who intend to buy at release.

I think most of the negative sentiment against Cyberpunk 2077 comes from three sources: 1) Some players expected this to be cyberpunk-themed RDR2/GTA5. It turns out it's nothing like that, it's more like a new Deus Ex game. 2) It just doesn't run on consoles. It's a very inferior experience, unless you're the type who can be happy with 2020 movies in .3gp format in your old Nokia phone. Having watched a video ( https…

we expect what was advertised to us. It turns out the marketing was all lies! Companies should be held accountable for lying.

It’s not a unplayable, but there’s definitely noticeable latency / lag compared to playing something locally. The resolution is also lowered compared to a decent midrange PC. Obviously, this depends on your internet connection and what you’re streaming to

It's really unfortunate, but I think ultimately history will probably be kind to this game as a PC game, especially if it passes that fundamental "is it fun" test. History marches on and in 3-5 years there will be a much greater proportion of PCs out there suitably equipped for it.

I have a 1000/100 fiber connection and the best ping I've gotten is 6 ms. Most often I get 16 ms though.

Sure, it's not bad as is, but it's bad as compared to what it was supposed to be. "Supposed" being defined by 3DPR themselves.

The comparison to Deus Ex is not off. It's got turn-of-the-milleneum AI, zero exploration benefit, and so on. That's not a bad thing, except, of course, it wasn't going to be that way.
