OH GOD THE SHOOTING IS HORRIBLE

The bullet sponginess jesus fucking christ. Multiple shotgun loads at close range, before that lots of pistol rounds... Same guy still not dead.

This is apparently what "RPG combat" means in 2020.


Fucking hell CDPR, I know you guys can't do itemization and stuff to save your lives but come on...

Edit: I get these guys are heavily chromed, but still... Come on.

I hope better weapon choices and talents solve that shit at least to some degree...

Dudes don't even seem to react to getting hit. No stagger or anything. He's blasting them with the shotgun point blank and they keep nailing him.


On another note, the colored shadows, the bullet sponges and crappy combat etc... The part he's playing right now... This is just polish The Outer Worlds with more budget and a different art style, isn't it?

LOL streamer hacks (?) some camera from a doorway and just watches a bunch of enemies shoot at his body... This guy is worse than the non-existent A.I. hahaha.

I hope the shit combat is only this shit because the guy is a retard and didn't bring the right levelled guns or something... Hope springs eternal.

remember folks there is a 30 day refund policy on GoG...

But yeah, i hope the story is good because that does not look stellar at all thus far.

"I'm gonna eat your spleen" <- Yeah, okay, cyberbitch. Combat taunts are just...

It's not just that, bullets have NO effect whatsoever. Like, this guy sinks a whole mag into a dude and he doesn't even FLINCH. No amount of Day 1 patches can fix this.

Boy what a trainwreck

This should've been a TB party-based isometric RPG. Seeing how terrible it looks, it seems like those delays were urgently needed and not enough.

The chat in that stream lmao

This is how nature intended stream culture.
Are those bots maybe? They're all named in similar fashion. Or some 4chan brigade? :D

Edit: Okay, normal users are also named that way. Hmm.
Not familiar with that streaming site, maybe that's normal.

Just a straight up nudeusx clone (in terms of mechanics) would have been preferrable to this disaster by far.
It's basically already that, but with ludicrous level scaling bullet sponge bullshit.

The visual noise is extreme. I wonder if its less distracting if you play it but oh boy. Also the guy played on Hard most of the time, maybe the bullet sponginess gets better he lowered it to normal.

Took a glimpse and it’s very reminiscent of that godawful Syndicate FPS from... 2014 (I think it was).

Yeah, all shooters look and play the same to me, and this doesn’t look like an exception.

Still, Codex goty because there might be a couple of well designed and written quests.

I'm still not sure whether this can be played as a nu-Deus Ex clone, i.e. full stealth. The visuals are ...quite extra, though, distractingly so.

This looks like it plays worse than Syndicate FPS because of the dumb level scaling/bullet sponge shit though, seriously.
