Stealth builds never do.
He wasn't playing stealthy though
I'm not convinced there are any mandatory high speed shootout sequences at all.
There are in story missions mainly as i understood. The reviewer gives an example of an enemy jumping on your car and you have to shoot him, but you can't actually kill him because he's scripted to die from a lamp pole.

That explains the brain damage russians are cool in my book though no hard feelings you can carve up banderastan as much as you want :salute:
Does this world really need independent Ukraine? Eastern Ukraine would go to Russia; Western, including parts of coveted Kresy - to Poland. I'm sure that most Ukrainians actually wouldn't be so upset about it.

CDProjekt copying Sabotain once again.

Is this game some kind of russian Wakanda dream of greatness?
It is Cyberpunk 2077 before the world was ready for it and without flashy scripted events and cutscenes. Inspired by Fallout 2, Deus Ex, Planescape: Torment and some other things it actually offers pretty much everything Cyberpunk 2077 does. You can get cyber implants and even tattoos that affect your character.

There is a huge selection of futuristic hovercars to drive and the city the game takes place in is so vast it makes it incredibly satisfying when you finally get to drive one, they don't just hand you the keys to one right away. There is a ton of varied characters that you meet, hackers, government scientists, prostitutes, black market salesmen, factory workers, a black female mercenary leader...

The combat is fast and lethal, headshots hurt enemies a ton and you have bullet time. Some combat trained enemies fucking dodge your shots like Max Payne and jump sideways while firing at you. You have a bunch of different weapons, from THE CLAW to rocket launchers, laser guns to regular machine guns and even a fucking cyberpunk flail. Oh yeah, and a lasersword too, because why the fuck not?

After you have gotten into the swing of things the game branches Witcher 2 style into completely different directions. You can fight in underground arenas, literally hidden under the urban jungle above. You can visit a casino and very realistically be rid of all that money you have pocketed so far. Characters make surprising comebacks later in the story, that retarded girl I rescued? She is a vital character in a later mission. The day and night cycle affects missions, some missions can only be done at a certain time of day. The world is completely open and you can steal the computer of someone that you need way later in the game if you want to and the game reacts to that, only some critical small locations are kept locked away so you don't break the story completely.

You get companions that help you out and they were never in the way for me. Holy fuck, they did in 2004 what took the Americans until Bioshock Infinite to figure out in their shooters, how to not make them piss you off to no end but also not make them background props like in CoD. They are actually useful.

At one point you're literally being followed by a black hoovercar and that took me by surprise. Do you think you will ever have a trail on your ass like that in Cyberpunk 2077? I doubt it. You plant car bombs, assassinate people and do secret agent stuff, take someone out on a date even at one point.

This looks awesome. And it seems to be shareware/abandonware? I found it easily enough by just googling.

Fuck you, you keep making that game sound so awesome that I now have to download and play it, knowing full well it is going to be a janky shitshow.
The game is ambitious, but the execution is so hilariously bad, that i'm not sure anybody can take it seriously.

Paradise Cracked
on the other hand is a classic of russian cyberpunk and should have been much more popular. Too bad the english dub is so bad, completely screwed the original

It's all chill and dandy cyberpunk rpg until you actually load the game and find out that EVERYTHING and EVERYONE are turn-based even outside of combat.
Those mid 2000-s Russian games have some abysmal art direction.
to be honest, art direction and graphics in general in mentioned Paradise Cracked gets better when you make progress through the game and see more and more of new locations This always cracks me up since you start in some lowlife shithole.

Guys you can get the game super cheap on PlayAsia right now. I just paid £35 which is 35% off Steam's asking price. It's a GOG key so its region free, no DRM, etc.

https://www.play-asia.com/cyberpunk-2077/13/70csmj
Thanks. I've never heard of the site so I'm a bit hesitant. How confident are you that you'll actuall get the key? After all, this is significantly cheaper than buy it directly on GOG.

Yeah, but you do get used to it after the first 5 hours and you can significantly reduce the waiting time in the options.

That's the cool thing about the game, every level has completely unique assets, enemies, music and therefore atmosphere and by the end of the game you get that feeling of an epic adventure from the bottom to the top.

The soundtrack and voice acting are superb too

> Play Witcher 3 Enhanced Edition mod
> You have earned a precious skill point, but you need to meditate in order to assign it to a skill
> You need to brew a potion to fight some drowners (among the toughest enemies in W3EE)
> You don't want to fast travel to an inn or town where there are burning fires
> You find an old ladder, you decompose it to Wood
> Set up a fire (requires wood to set up a fire so you can craft stuff), meditate, brew potions assign the skill point
> Just barely defeat the drowners.

Same in TW2. Some random peasant with spade will spin and kill you in two hits, but you, a super trained monster hunter that fights beasts 100x your own size, need to swing your special Witcher sword like 10 times to kill some no-name fag.

Same shit happened in the books, Geralt lost to a poorfag with a pitchfork.
But by Cyberpunk 2020 rulebook, this is blasphemous, antithetical and bad gamedesign.

It's a bit like cheating though, because in the books Geralt is entirely in the author's hands, and the author wanted to be super edgy by killing the character so no one can continue the story in his place.

I find the official cover artwork to be a bit bland and boring, so I threw together an infinitely better alternate cover art using MS-Paint. Enjoy!
