Hello everyone.

Today i got Cyberpunk 2077 and i'm downloading the game to start my journey on GOG and in this game.

I need tips/advices for people who start now.

Thank you.

Greetings. :)

Anything specific you are curious about in Cyberpunk? Do you want tips for best stats, weapon locations, strategies or anything else in particular?

Generic "tips / advices" about CP77 would mean spoling the whole game for you, and I presume you don't want that.

Hi, maybe my text was not so good to express myself, sorry.
I gonna start the game now but i need to choose a lifepath, can i choose anyone and the campaign will be the same or the missions are differents for each lifepath?

The only real difference is the beginning of the game (each lifepath gets its own prologue) and one specific gig (each lifepath gets a unique gig to do with where your character came from).

Other than that, some dialogue will be different, but that's about it.

As for general advice, don't feel pressured to finish the plot missions too quickly: (for me, at least) it's more fun to experience and explore the city, do the side gigs, discover some "secrets", before moving on with the plot of the game.

That said, some plot missions will block your access to certain areas of the city (until you do them, you won't be able to leave past a certain perimeter).

I choose the nomada one and already finish the prologue of this lifepath.
I now start again but whit the streetkid lifepath thats the one that its almost like me.
Missions from campaign will be the same right?

GODINHO93: Missions from campaign will be the same right?
Yup. You'll have one mission that's for the Streetkid only, but the campaign will be the same.

No problem. :)

Each lifepath has a unique, albeit fairly short, intro mission. All 3 lifepaths will put you into the same spot afterwards, and Act 1 of the game will begin. At this point, the game is identical regardless of lifepath.

Though each lifepath will at some points in the game offer unique dialogue options (always positive ones, to my knowledge, and I have tried all 3 lifepaths) or side missions, some of them also giving items (weapons, mostly) only available to that lifepath.

The exception being the Nomad lifepath, which also gives you a unique vehicle (one of my favourites), plus a different paint job to 2 other vehicles (just the colour is different)

I'm personally not a big fan of this system, because if I were really loving revolvers, the game doesn't tell me how to get the best ones. I would really like for the game to tell me the outcome of any of the choices as an optional pop-up screen.

You will also at certain points be offered unique responses based on your stats and build (Body, Cool etc.), but those are available for all lifepaths.

I did the corp lifepath too but im back at the streetkid one. Corp and nomada are a no for me.
I'm having a blast whit this game, i see some reviews on steam telling the game is trash but at moment i dont have bugs or errors in game.
I'm in act 1 doing the side quests, some are really difficult because the weapons are not good.
Why some side quests have a high risk and in this ones i always die, need to improve weapons and skills to complete?

Glad you enjoy it. :)
While there are arguments for and against CP77, "trash" it certainly is not! And most bugs have been fixed at this point.

That is the one thing most people, including me, agree on: the weapon upgrade system could be better. Any early weapon will quickly be useless as you level up. And enemies level-up as you do, but your weapons won't - they have to be upgraded at ever more expensive component costs.

The math dictates that it is more viable to buy a new weapon from a vendor (as those do scale with your level) every time you need it.

Depending on the weapon, you can get a few more levels out of it if you fully invest perk points into that type of weapon (pistols, blunt weapons, rifles etc.), but generally you would be better off by just buying a new one.

I don't know what level you are, or which stats you are going for (Body, Intelligence, Technical Ability etc.), but in Act 1 the enemies are stronger the further away you get from your apartment. And when looking at the map, gigs will say a danger level, though that is to be taken with a grain of salt.

Best way to level up is to do gigs. And remember to go back to your apartment to sleep on occasion, as that will give you an XP buff that lasts 1 hour. You will also have to grind for some time to reach a level where you can safely take on anything, even in Watson (Act 1 part of the city).

Best tip I can give you is to be patient, and take your time with the game. And remember to save often. I spent like 180 hours on my first playthrough.

i'm level 3 but already have 5 hours in game but i explore the city after the first mission.
Now i need to pay to Viktor Vektor and i need 21k. For me is hard to make that money because i need good weapons to do side quests because i die fast.
Now that I know the game, I don't struggle with money - possibly just because I have accepted that's how the game is.

My best tip for getting money is collecting everything you see. Every piece of scrap, food / drink, weapon and every other item. And sell it. Alchohol is useless in the game and can be sold just like any other item at any vendor. It all adds up, but it will be a grind at first.

It can be tempting to disassemble weapons for upgrade components, but unless you go Technical Ability and Crafting, it is NOT(!) worth it. Crafting is in my opinion a late-game mechanic, but it will give you the best weapons (crafted weapons will, with certain perks, be better than purchased ones).
I havent played the game since launch but I loved my Biotech MK.1-3.

A tip I have is mix melee with ranged. Sometimes it's satisfying taking an enemy down with a katana.
