Should I preorder Cyberpunk 2077?

henro1232

Cyberpunk 2077 is available for preorder on steam although I don't know weather my PC is powerful enough. It should be, and I'm fairly confident it is, but there have been some rumors spreading about of a minimum spec of an i7-8700k and a 1080Ti, and if that is the case I don't want to waste £50. 

Any thoughts?

Thanks, Henry ?

why would you want to preoder the game?
What's the benefit of it?
If you dont preorder you can still download it on launch day, or am I wrong here?

I've been burned by pre-orders before, so I've stopped doing it, no matter how good I expect the game to be. I wait for reviews and/or the first price drops depending on how well the game does.

As others stated, there really no benefit to pre-ordering the game.

 

Best is to wait for reviews and see how the game runs on hardware so you have a better idea if your setup can handle it.

That rumored requirement is such bullshit.

 

No game would launch with "minimum requirements" higher than 99.9% of consumer pcs. Unless cdpr wants to lose money and reputation just to create another "can it run crysis" meme

 

That being said, why would you preorder? Im 100% sure I will get that game, but unless there is some preorder discount, I dont see why preordering would make sense. 

 

Also, get this game on GOG. 100% of money goes to the devs and you get that SWEET drm free goodness

Ultra is stupid. ALWAYS.

I'm 99.9% sure your hardware is more than powerful enough to run the game. The rumors are based off an i7 8700K/1080Ti running the Cyberpunk 2077 demo.

 

As for pre-ordering any game, doing so is not only sad but a tragic mistake unless you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth. Cyberpunk 2077 will hit around half price before you know it. And by then it will be much better optimized or at the very least, researched and tested from multiple gamers with troubleshooting steps to give you an idea of what settings to play the game at.

 

The Outer Worlds released less than 5 weeks ago on PC. Red Dead Redemption 2 released less than a month ago on PC.

 

Here are their current price tags after 5 weeks time...

Never pre-order. Period. Treat Cyberpunk 2077 as if it will release in 165 days instead of 137 days. Or you could just snag it at half price from some random on the internet wanting quick cash for his Cyberpunk 2077 key in just a few days after its release because he obtained the game for free bundled in a PC he got for his nephew on a discount and wants even more discount by simply selling off the code since his nephew is 9 years old.

 

Just plantin' seeds.

It's not rumoured minimum requirements.  Those specs were taken from the PC that was running the demo at trade shows.  CDPR said as much.

QUOTE ME IN A REPLY SO I CAN SEE THE NOTIFICATION!

When there is no danger of failure there is no pleasure in success.

If you really feel the need to preorder do what a colleague of mine did. He preordered at a local shop and is supposed to pay when he comes for it xD.

There isn't really any reason to pre-order unless you want to support the developers early on. I pre-ordered a physical copy of the game back in August.

No point unless you get good discount or some seriously good extras. And if you decide to pre-order, do it from GOG.com instead.

Now that makes sense. They just ran the game with the best available hardware at the time

I agree, never preorder anything.  It's not like you have to stand in line on launch day or they will run out of digital copies.  Wait for reviews to come out.  Give them a chance to patch any launch day problems.

Your computer is fine, the reported "Minimum Requirements" google searching brings up, that people keep misreporting as "Minimum", was actually a setup used to help display gameplay/trailors iirc, so more like recommended.

So far as pre-ordering, its often a scam these days, but if you really love the idea of the game go for it, i guess?  Most people prefer paying with their wallet, big slaps money on the table, for a product they KNOW is good, but if cyberpunk 2077 sucks we'll all cry enmasse and the next great flood will commence, in which case its all over, so why even worry, we'll be dead
