@@sergiohenrique2411 PEBCAK much? Blaming Nvidia and everyone else and overexpecting from a meagre 4060Ti? Did you really think you could go full Pathtracing with it? Do you really think, that this wasnt recorded with maybe even having some effects added or mods like LUTs ENB or Reshade used? And even if not, the 4060Ti is what a 3070? And which version is it you're using, is it just the crappy 8Gig version? Or did you have the bwains and got the 16gig version, as CP2077 especially with RT enabled, uses lots of VRAM and would certainly overpower the 8gig card, either leading to auto reduced details as it overflows into system RAM and losing performance with it or maybe even crashes the game eventually?! So its at best a valid midrange GPU, that could enable you to play CP2077 with RT Ultra setting, using DLSS3 *Quality* (try not to go lower than that) and maybe even add Framegen combined with Nvidia Reflex to it. Look after your settings dude, some auto activate AMD FSR, which you should never use and could make the game look worse, if you can use DLSS! DLSS is vastly superior, especially in FHD or QHD Resolutions, which are the 4060ti's playground, this card is for sure no UHD (falsy marketing blabla called 4K) card. And the other question is: what CPU are u using? This game, as well as some others have very high CPU demands! I'm running this game with an Ryzen 7 5800X3D and 32Gigs of DDR4 3600CL16 and this CPU gets almost fully loaded on each core and thread, powering my RTX 3080 12GB Aorus Master to run this Game with DLSS 3.5 on Quality with active Ray Reconstruction on RT Ultra, with 60-75FPS in QHD Resolution (Dell S2721DGFA) and it pretty much looks like this video, while i'm also using "Nova Lut 2.0" by theCyanideX along with added preem water and preem rain and others by the same author. Pathracing aka "RT Overdrive" would look even better, but this would only run on DLSS performance for me and this introduces a poor picture quality and heavy ghosting, so it's a NoGo and as it cvan even bring a 4090 to its knees, especially in UHD...there is no way you can run it on a 4060Ti either without making some compromises.

Borderlands had something similar of companies waging wars with each other but on a galactic scale. In Borderlands 3, a company called Maliwan had been conducting a "corporate merger" with another company, Atlas. In reality, Maliwan is literally invading an entire planet to wipe out the Atlas mercenaries and gain any Atlas R&D intel to become a bigger company and compete with other major companies. You're literally living through an ongoing corporate war, and there had been others in the past. Unfortunately, there's not much lore about the various corporate wars, and Borderlands focus more on comedy than dystopian compared to Cyberpunk

The idea of a corporate war is so scary. At least in a traditional government vs government war there are things like front lines, mission objectives, and war crimes. If you're not in a government's military or living in the front line area, you've got nothing to worry about. In a corporate war, it's everyone's problem all at once. Every major city in every major country is going to have potential strike teams and potential targets. No frontline, no clear end point, and no rules. Adam Smasher even had collateral damage in his Arasaka contract. A guy stacking cardboard boxes in an Arasaka warehouse has to pack heat and be on the lookout for Militech death squads every day. He might get kidnapped and tortured for intel on his way to work. He might get caught up in a raid while at work. He might get smoked as collateral in a completely unrelated battle while on his lunch break. Nightmare.

In reality though, most corporations if given the ability, would never wage war. War is not profitable, and is a foolish move unless your forced into it. Even throughout history with corporations that ruled colonies and such, the last thing they want is war. I think its worthy to note that alot of these wars werent genocides or useless wars. They actually had material gain. Fastfoward today, we have men dying in Vietnam, Iraq, Ukraine, and Afghanistan, all over wars waged over ideology. And if it aint ideology, its some vague ass reason that not even the government can coherently define. Is it better to die for actual resources or to incompetence? Id like to think of Google, Exxon, Amazon, and Alibaba ran the world, we would definitely have some rights stripped away. But we would be managed with efficiency unparalleled to anything else.

Ehhhhh not really. The Central American Wars were written before the U.S. pivoted to the Middle East, and we’re based more on an escalation of Operation Condor into a hot war for US control of the region (remember, the original game was released in 1988) The U.S. crash was more an extreme example of the collaspe of the British Empire at that time and the economic woes of the UK under Thatcher. The economic liberalization of the Soviet Union was already underway under Gorbachev when the game was released, it just wasn’t expected by anyone at that time that the Soviet Union would actually collaspe if it decommunized. It was expected the USSR was to become like China today, still under the communist party and with large state-owned enterprises but with an otherwise free market economy. Silverhand I think was more influenced by the Troubles than any other terrorist event.

Well, Militech probably had a hand in it. Silverhand in the game and Silverhand in the actual lore are two very different people. First, 50 years of pent up narcissism created his interpretation of the events to be much more self-centered. To the point that he just forgets the most important pieces of the puzzle; Morgan Blackhand and Militech (And Alt). During the Fourth Corporate War, Militech in its infinite wisdom lacked the well-trained fighting force that Arasaka had at its disposal (Arasaka could tap into gangs it funded for troops and even pull forces from the JSDF. Militech couldn't do the same even with its ties to the US Government.) So, Militech had a massive campaign to hire Edgerunners of different varieties. That created the situation where Militech hires (the greatest Solo) Morgan Blackhand, who then hires Silverhand (a military veteran who had already infiltrated Arasaka once). Johnny didn't give a shit about Militech at all. The only reasons he took the job was because of Morgan Blackhand offering the job and the slightest possibility to find Alt Cunningham. At the time he still believed he could find her there. I'd have to brush up on my sourcebooks but the chances of that happening were pretty much zero.

' " - now your SAW gunner is body wrapped with nano-weave body armor, a heavy combat vest with groin cover, thigh pads, knee pads, shin pads and a relatively low tech exosuit ( For the Cyberpunk universe ) that makes that armor weightless and makes that soldier able to hip-fire with that SAW accurately.

Corporations are powerful for sure, but they're nowhere near the stage of wielding private military forces to attack their rivals. People point out Blackwater, but they're explicitly a mercenary group for the express purpose of war against insurgent forces. The US government will heavily restrict their usage to their own national security. Amazon can't just hire Blackwater to nuke Ebay headquarters. It's a warning story for sure, but our world has a very long way to go before we reach that stage.

So the crash of '94 is pretty much nowadays Argentina. Got it.

“The collapse” literally just sounds like “what if the rest of the world treated america like how it does it’s so-called ‘rogue countries’ in real life?”

Anyone else having the hardest time believing a post ww2 Europe became an economic superpower during the Cold War??

i would have checked the timeline and folders twice over to see if any clips were corrupted.

Interesting how close to the truth the lore is.

I was laughing while listening the 9:35 oil platform explosion story, didn't someone no-one knows who [NUSA?] blow up Russian - Germany Nord Stream pipeline just tiny bit a go : D

At the end of the game. I think Arasaka should probably almost move out of night city. With another raid on the Tower, Adam Smasher is pretty much dead. The CEO is now dead due to his son. The entire tower is compromised. Mikoshi is compromised, and who knows what else and data is compromised. If Militech didn't just walk right in after V was done would have been a big wasted opportunity for them. Unless they didn't want to get involved for some reason. You could see how Arasaka was struggling in the game too. With the death of Saburo, Smasher, other people in Arasaka, plus the raid on the Tower again. It be hard for them to stay in night city I think. And if Militech took over that would probably mean NUSA would take over night city finely. I think anyways. But If Arasaka didn't want to leave they would have to probably send a lot of people from Japan and such to retake the Tower. If Militech didn't try to stop them from doing it. All I know is at the end of the game Arasaka is struggling hard.
