Absolutely fucking based.

It gets better. Not only are there in game 'Joker Stairs', there is a matching photo mode pose.

FFS, a matching 'Trickster' shirt and vest. Common, besides.

Blunt weapon dildo as reward for tapping Miltech beeatch. Rare/Iconic.

idk if i'm missing anything but it seems like an underrail-style sneaky trap build isn't really a thing here? no mines/etc.. i'm hoping hacking will have more interesting abilities later, because taking higher-level enemies head-on usually results in me hitting the eject button when a group comes running in my face

Yeah there are no player mines you can only hack mines already in place and make them "friendly". I would love if they would add C4 like bombs, mines and other forms of traps, flathead which was in work but was scrapped etc.

haven't put a load of time into it; but there's a lot to love, and a lot to hate. the dark moody moments have been the highlight (arasaka/takemura bits especially so far).. the gta-type "parody"/projection of the "future" feels kinda realistic, but also takes away from it sometimes..

There are higher-tier granades which can stick to surfaces, but I've never tried doing it.

 

[moon knight]

Yes, I'm sure he knows a thing or two about that.

I couldn't even finish that piece of shit because of an infinite loading screen in the main quest. They released without even playing their own fucking game once

Good game tho

 

[Mefi]

That's a misnomer if there ever was one, unless by "good enough" you mean "booting the game up doesn't set my PC/console/house on fire". And what an achievement that is, CDPR can make a game that you can actually open up, truly the RPG GOTYAY.

Anything that isn't related to the writing and (some) voice acting is actively repulsive, and even the writing and VA is barely passable.

Yes, that's what the quotation marks around 'good enough' mean.

 

[gerey]

Lmao see you in 10 years after 10 DLCs and 5 special editions + two extra hardware upgrade cycles.

Awfully optimistic of you to assume CDPR will bother supporting the game for that long.

All the dumb suckers already gave them their money.

 

[Quillon]

Finished it in 70 hours. Shoulda finished it in 30 if not for the "gigs" and ncpd scanner bloat which are not being introduced gradually but all at once from the get go, shit pacing(inb4: -but you don't have to do them bro etc) that's my first gripe with the game. The 2nd is V's character is too predetermined, thought they'd loosen it up a bit with there being 2 genders, custom appearance etc but nah, its Geralt all over again. Other than that it's an awesome game. Just love the city, its just incredible how detailed it is and how distinct the districts look & feel.

Also its noticeable there were a lot of cuts from main and real side quests, pre-release talk about "12 endings to Maelstorm quest alone" my ass. They've probably cut an entire act Witcher 2 style cos the game literally goes: act 2 --> end and feels like there should be an act 3.

Gameplay is standard Hacking made it too easy on hardest diff.

 

[Taxnomore]

BTW, I have ignored the NCPD calls (I avoid combat whenever I can). Is there any advantage in doing this ?
Do they unlock story developments and new quests ?

you can disable a mine for 130 engineering exp, and then blow it up with a hack for 120 breach protocol exp. best game

Absolutely fucking based.

They got asked something like that in the conference call - what if you had released only on consoles and next gen and postponed current gen consoles To which the CDPR guy replied that they don't have a next gen version yet and the next gen consoles and the current gen consoles are running the same version of the game. I think he misunderstood the question and it is technically possible for MS and Sony to detect which kind of console is connecting to the store and disallow the game for current gen.

 

[Durian Eater]

If I've learned one thing from playing Cyberpunk, it's that I have zero interest in storygames without C&C.

Street cred, XP and of course - l00t (money). As if that's not enough, the cops also pay you for the clearing out of punks.

If you mean the messages which flash up when you're near a crime scene, I've not seen anything beyond rewards for dealing with that incident. Some of them are a nice difference with the unique NPCs in them but nothing amazing.

 

[warpig]

To me C77 feels like true next gen game while every other game is just two levels below it:
- Guns have no business being this good in open world game yet they do and in fact they are far better than most of dedicated shooters and for me personally they give best gun feel right now topping Destiny and Doom.
- Cars shouldn't have better physics than literally car driving game like GTA5 and yet they do being imo only worse to Forzahorizon
- it has no business being better at being DeusEx as open world game than actual DeusEx with its closed world and yet it is, moreover the more you play it the more it plays like MGS5

On top of that there is stuff that expected from CDPR game like:
- characters
- story
- side missions
- world design

Which all are above and beyond what TW3 delivered which already was sitting on top. TW3 feels like last gen game compared to 77 right now on those fronts.

Yes bugs deteriorate that for many people but once game will be patched this will be game people will play for years if not for multiple play-troughs to see whole story then for game-play itself and world doing multiple different builds etc.

77 started next gen without asking anyone for permission in both gameplay and graphics.

Is this serious or are you memeing or something?

What unique NPCs? BTW, of all the assaults I've prevented, I've only had one instance where the NPC said "thank you". In the rest of the cases they either keep stuck in a defensive animation, or just run away.

 

[Taxnomore]

Nah, I meant the NCPD messages saying there's an attack somewhere and you're welcome to kill the fuckers.

It is not like it matters really. LVL 28 currently and i am like lvl 9 breach and quickacking and i hack almost anything i can. You would have to farm shitload of time in order to farm exp for those skills to get up those by 1-2 levels.

What unique NPCs? BTW, of all the assaults I've prevented, I've only had one instance where the NPC said "thank you". In the rest of the cases they either keep stuck in a defensive animation, or just run away.

There are very rare ones that have some npcs but they don't really talk much. All blue checkmarks on map are from NCPD. Basically contract from them to clean up since they don't have enough force.

One which stood out on current run was a market which had been taken over by a dozen standard gang members but their leader was a cyber samurai rather than Gang Member #13 with an assault rifle and an absence of taste in clothes. Seemed to have a different script for combat too, more like a psychowhatever than a standard gang member. Nothing to interact with though sadly.

 

[Perkel]

There are also random blue stars which work like i think skyrim radiant quests aka they spawn randomly and they are infinite.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

So what are your favorite radio channels in-game? I thought that I'd be into the more electro-themed channels pre-release due to that dope Le Destroy song, but my go-to channel turns out to be 30 Principales now that I'm playing.

Strat's review

Yeah, calling it an "Early Access" version of a potentially great game nails it. If there hadn't been so much hype and if this were released as an Early Access game, people would be going "holy shit, this is going to be great!" instead of pissing and moaning.

 

[WhiskeyWolf]

The getting-hacked-through-walls shit can fuck right off. What a retarded mechanic.

Hmm, I thought they were simply using the cameras to hack me and not hacking through walls. I think this was stated clearly in the game at some point, line of sight needed.
