Online or Offline?

[Darth Spartan 117]

I have been waiting a long time to play this, and finally I have bought and downloading Cyberpunk 2077 along with DLC. Since it is my first time using Steam, am I be able to play CP 2077 in a offline mode? Also, if you have any advice on what I should do in this game, please let me know.

Thanks in advance!

Yes you can play offline in several different ways. If you have Steam set to offline, it'll work. Also if you go to your Witcher3/bin/x64 or /x64_dx12 folders, you can fire up the game directly from the .exe located there. The advantage of this is you bypass the CPDR launcher as well.

However you won't have the Steam overlay available.

In the game: Turn on the Tutorials and hints in the Settings menu and _read them_ carefully. This game has a lot going on, and you will miss out on a lot of things if you aren't aware.

Loot _everything_. Sell high-value loot for cash [You'll need it]; disassemble low-value loot for Crafting materials [crafting is important in the game].

Explore the environments you find yourself in. The first part of Act 1 there are people you need to talk to as soon as you walk out your apartment door. You don't have to plunge into the main storyline all at once. Take time to learn the game mechanics [how to shoot; how to fight; how to use your tools] before taking major steps in the story. Take your time, esp, in the early game.

Study the Attribute and Perk tree and understand it. Realize that your abilities go up by steps...don't spend Attribute and Perk points carelessly or without some kind of plan.

Finally...enjoy the game! Absorb the story and characters...it's not a sandbox where you just endlessly screw around without a direction or purpose. Play the story.

thank you and for your time to explain more in detail. I appreciated it. I cannot wait to fire this game up.

I'm playing it now for a third time since 2.0 dropped and its even better than before, cant really add much on top of what others said already. You'll have a blast.

I love how everyone that played it before, veteran Cy77 players, hundreds of hours... we jump in and want to complain, then think about it, then come to terms with the fact, ah crap we're not gods and we love >=v2.0 more than we loved <=v1.63

So when we tell you you're not missing much, I don't know if it works in reverse, if "legacy" mode or whatever still works, you might find you hate 2.0+ and want what we had originally... I mean grenade spam with the ability to carry hundreds is definitely different, for example.

it's like people over 40, seeing people under 40 carry film cameras, cause no, they're not better, but they sure are different.

The game doesn't care about offline mode, though. Most steam single-player games pre-2023 (thankfully) do not. The future, on the other hand, less hopeful. But we'll get that cybernetic implant installed when we come to it...

i have been playing this for more than 11 hours and..... its very complications. There are a lot to learn. Too many details. I feel this game is made for people who doesn't have a real life, ha ha. So, I am going to take a break from it and see if I can learn some new things over the internet before I can get back on it.

What? It a pretty basic, very casual RPG made for mass appeal...nothing complicated about it what so ever.
