The World of Warcraft podcast, so you don't have to. This is the instance.

Greetings everybody and welcome back to the instance for Friday December 11th. It's 2020 and this is episode 624. I'm Scott Johnson. I'm joined with and by Garrett Winsorall. Hello Garrett.

Wake me up when December ends. Wait, that's it ended. Now you need November rain. Oh wait that ended too. We got in a good December songs and our Christmas songs can't think of any. No, no, I got I got nothing. I got nothing.

A. F. I. has an album called December Underground. We could go with that. Okay. You've. How are you with with wearing eyeliner? You know, it just really depends on the day. Today is not one of the days, but like tomorrow I could do some eyeliner sure.

There's an extra rapid fire question for everyone. I hope you enjoy. Yeah, enjoy the good. I'm playing a little bit of cyberpunk 2077 in the background or not here now, but you know always it. What is that game? Is that from some small indie developer? I have heard of this new to you. I've heard.

It's definitely not been the only thing on my actually that's a straight up lie. There's so much Star Wars junk announced yesterday that my feet actually been overtaken with that instead of cyberpunk. But yeah, man. Yeah, we know that we've been known to talk about other games besides World of Warcraft from time to time and the top of the show is the place where we kind of catch up with one another.

I haven't gotten it. Yeah, I am liking it. So I was able to play both a PC and an Xbox series X version of the game. They they're comparable that the series X version is still technically the Xbox one version better runs at a lot better than the Xbox one does.

So from what I've seen that's not a high bar no the Xbox one and the PlayStation 4 version of the game are freaking straight up broken as far as I'm concerned they look terrible and they run really bad.

I'm trying to think of things that came out at the end of the PS3 360 generation leading into the PS4 Xbox one generation and I'm.

I can't pull anything from my brain except black flag and I remember playing black flag on my PS4 and then going to my over my buddies and who's playing on PS3 and I was like, dude your game looks like, but yeah, it was a nice upgrade and that's how this looks it's that's actually really good comparison because it's not native to the X meaning it's not taking advantage of anything this is not the PS5 and series X versions of the game aren't even out yet technically.

But if you buy it on those platforms, what you're basically buying is a backwards compatible version of the game that we're on your new console, but they also run them a lot better so I'm running it pretty much flawlessly on the on the series X.

I will say it looks a billion times well not a billion times it looks there there is marketed increase in quality on the PC with a good video card.

So I'm trying right now at this point to decide where am I going to settle and the only reason it's even a question is I got it on console thinking well I'll just sit on my butt on the couch and that's where I'll play this game because that's where I like to play my you know games like this single player big RPGs I kind of want to set on the couch and I want to be hunched over my computer all day to play a game.

So I'm going to do that also you have a new hardware what do you plus have new hardware exactly is your new hardware even exactly even if you're computer yeah people think I'm nuts I'm on the same way man I get it's weird right like the whole controller thing with first person shooters people like I can.

I can't believe you can play shooter controller I do it unless it's a competitive multiplayer shooter and even then sometimes I'll still pull that controller out even on the PC because I just like how I like controlling shooters on controllers I know it's a giant controversy out there and people can make fun of me and that's fine you do you but for whatever reason especially when it comes to a game like this word like the single player focused you know I don't understand it's still a conversation it's the people weird we we we ended this with Halo they pick up the game.

Halo they figured it out it's okay everybody and not that the I will say this cyberpunk plays great with a mouse and keyboard no problem like it's a very good version on the PC with that is your default but I still prefer control over there just because it's I like to play my single player game okay yeah I

think I play well in the couch sometimes yeah I wish I have an old rig hooked up to my TV and also I just recently upgraded my got into laptop oh nice well done yeah how's that chillin chillin on the couch I dig it I mostly got it just because I was sick of sitting in my the office that I'm in 24 7 to write for my master's course I'm taking but

that's the other thing that's a great point and that's exactly where I'm coming from here I don't necessarily what's the old phrase don't shit where you eat this isn't the same as that but

but it's definitely not it whatsoever but I get where you're going but I don't want to be in front of the same screen all day that I also get worked on every day like it's just too much so sometimes I just need a couch with some pillows and my feet

up and and a controller my hand and it's wireless and that's so that's why I did that but then someone very kindly donated a copy of the game unexpected the unexpectedly to me on steam so now I feel obligated to do the sort of comparison contrast sort of thing and I will

say on some proper RTX RTX hardware that game looks real nice on PC as do many other games and it looks pretty good on a series X I'm getting 60 frames per second performance mode it looks great plays great

can't complain I do look forward to the free upgrade to to the enhanced version when it when it happens they they claim they're going to do that at CD project red they're not going to make people by this thing twice so that's good so you PS 5 and Xbox
