Unlike approximately every single one of my friends, I did not spend this weekend playing Cyberpunk 2077, but I was still exposed to all its many amusing bugs, glitches, and silly weapons. I’ve seen V’s penis clipping through his trousers, characters with disappearing penises, and a sex toy (shaped like a penis) used as a melee weapon. They’re all quite funny, including the ones that don’t involve penises, but as someone who has not yet played this game I can confidently say that the bugs are best experienced with the vocal and instrumental improv accompaniment of a fella called Blindboy.

Call Of Duty is kicking off season one for both Black Ops Cold War and Warzone on Wednesday, which means you’ll also have a new battle pass of rewards to rip into. It’s 100 tiers of guns and other goodies starting off with that new operator Stitch. Activision have revealed a bunch of the in-game items you’ll earn in season one with a new trailer.

Alright, I’ll show my hand. I do not like card games. Yet somehow, when developers toss the concept of cards into types of games that don’t normally have them, I’m interested. So it is with Fights In Tight Spaces, which I was quite taken by when it was first announced. If you’re one for tactical fisticuffs, you can go dish out some deck-based brawling of your own in the free prologue version (read: demo) of the game right now.

FPS games—been there done that, right? Maybe so, but the 7 Day FPS game jam is about dumping out the old first person shooting conventions and chambering some new concepts. The jam’s ended now and this year’s submissions include lots of first person puzzling, a santa simulator, and some Cyberpunk homages. Oh and someone’s done Doom. I assume someone always does Doom right? That’s the law.

There’s a wide range of cyberware upgrades you can install on V in Cyberpunk 2077. These range from new eyes that let you zoom, to reinforced legs allowing for huge leaps. You can even add a double jump and a charged jump to your character. Here’s how to do so.

For as big and shiny as Cyberpunk 2077 is, there are some basic features missing, ones that you’d expect to be in an open-world RPG like this. There’s not much explanation into many aspects of the game, meaning simple things like owning a vehicle can be confusing at first. One of the questions you might have is whether or not you can sell vehicles. I’ll explain this and more in this guide.

Cyberpunk 2077’s Night City runs on eurodollars, eddies for short. They’re surprisingly difficult to get a hold of, and seeing as they’re used to purchase everything from vehicles to cyberware upgrades, you’ll need a lot of them. To help you make money fast in Cyberpunk 2077 we’ve put together this money making guide. It will detail the absolute best ways to earn eddies, so that you can make the most of your time.

Trauma Team to the rescue in a Cyberpunk 2077 screenshot.

Frankly, if your complaint with Cyberpunk 2077‘s performance is that your beefy PC doesn’t run it as well as you hoped, my shonky PC’s 30fps and I have little sympathy for you. Git. But if this is you, perhaps you might fancy fiddling with hidden memory settings one player found. Some people got huge boosts from this! For others, it did nothing. Worth a try?

A screenshot of V from the torso up, this one wearing a sage green trilby with a brown band, goggles, and an orange and black sleeveless denim jacket. She has blue hair, and is smirking at the camera as if she looks cool

Most of us have been playing Cyberpunk 2077 over the weekend. It is, as you have no doubt heard by now, a good but flawed game. One of those flaws is in the clothing/armour inventory system. While we all envisaged that we would dress like how the 80s imagined futuristic motorbike-riding, drug-snorting, sex-having hacker rock stars, this is not the case. Because buying clothes is quite expensive, and the clothes are also tied to your armour rating, everyone is just wearing whichever combination of random junk looted from corpses gives them the most protection.

An additional problem is that actually a lot of the individual items in the Cyberpunk Winter 20/21 collection are very strong>, so virtually every piece is a statement piece by itself. This means the reality of literally every single V screenshot I have seen is less ‘cool-with-LED-lights-sewn-on jackets’ and more ‘I am letting my two-year-old dress themselves to avoid tantrums in the morning’. We therefore invite you to peruse RPS’s own catalogue of fashion failures, and vote for your favourite on our catwalk of futuristic shame. (more…)
