I have the feeling that, despite the game mechanically being in first person, and have guns, and cars and all that, it will be super close to The Witcher 3 in structure. You shouldn't expect a GTA clone with its extraneous cosmetic details (that I'm never able to notice) and an involved cop system, nor you should expect a Bethesda game where you can take all the forks and spoons, sit in all the chairs, enter in all the rooms and ally in the guild... i mean, gang of your choice.
In fact that coincides with what I read: you can't enter in most buildings, the cop system is simple and they forget about you quickly, you can't really join any gang, you can't sit down (except in specific moments for specific missions). All these limitations sound to me to be very similar to the style of game that was TW3. A game focused on story, characters and quests.

I’m hoping this is the case because Witcher 3 + Deus Ex is an absolutely wet dream of a game and I hope they nail it.

It's very strange, because there are already lots of perks that you can invest up to 2 or 3 points in them, to get the double or triple the effect (think +3% critical damage, +6%, and up to +9% for example with 3 points). In other words, they could have done exactly the same with that perk, make it so you can invest two points to get twice the effect. So why have two different perks with the same bonus? I don't understand. Maybe it will be changed on the Day 1 patch.

I imagine all the ones you can take multiple times you take while waiting to reach the higher level caps. It's probably a pretty powerful perk and they didn't want to cause confusion with some lower level perks being locked until later levels?

It's worth noting that gameplay footage on a given platform is hugely down to the person playing, not the platform. Doom 2016 looked slow and dumb as poo poo until they released some footage of someone competent playing it.

Unless you're specifically talking about graphical fidelity then, well, what did you expect.

We will see. I'm seeing in fact some parts where it could have another balance pass, because even without having played the game...




Who the hell is going to spend 3 perk points for a measly protection against fall damage, when the same points give you that hp regen.


edit: I'm not going to bother doing it, but I think a street brawler build could be hilarious


Let's see, there are perks that increase damage, perks that increase a LOT the critical damage the first 10s of combat, perks that stuns enemies, perks that give extra damage to stunned enemies, perks that recover helath while hitting stunned enemies upon hitting them, perks that removes armor from enemies, perks that gives extra damage per % lost hp (so a good 30% more damage if you are at 70%hp)... I have the feeling that all together combined means you will hit someone a few times with the light attack, and that will stunlock him, remove his armor, do critical damage, heal you and finally kill the enemy with a pair of extra hits while he can't do anything.

Less. The update will fix poo poo, not give new content.



This is the smallest complaint ever, but I wish the hair styles in the character customization had names instead of just numbers from 01 to 30-something. Like 'The Elvis', 'Retro Punk', 'Samurai knot', 'Disco Night', etc

I find the transphobia polemic ...interesting, because I don't remember many AAA games where you could match body types, genitals, voice and gendered elements (like makeup, nail length and beard) with freedom.

Yeah AAA games don't really let you ever do that. Some games like say Battletech from a few years ago do but in the AAA space it's kinda unheard of. I suppose Saint's Row did as well. I feel like yes the twitter stuff sucks and promoting a cis cosplayer playing a trans character is bad. Based on what I've seen in leaked gameplay and the world book the sexualization applies to everyone and the trans ad is in line with the rest of the ads for cis people as well. The character creation choices are a big step and should be lauded. There are certainly reasons to be upset with them but I think nothing in game I've seen would be one of those reasons.

I honestly think the whole 'penis 2' is more a marketing gimmick than any other thing, because yeah, the game is fully in first person. Games journalists have said that the part you see the most from the initial character customization is... the nails. Because you see your hands. That's it.

I've mostly been keeping my head in the sand until close to launch. So while I know there are three "Types" of gun tech levels, my dumb gameplay question is, On a scale of-

"Every weapon has a unique ammo and box for it to take up inventory space, also you can only buy poo poo surplus ammo and have to craft if you want ammo strong enough to deal with cyber skin damage resistances" :science:

Vs.

"Red guns take red ammo, blue guns take blue ammo" :downs:

Do the various leaks tell us what degree of ammo granularity are we looking at? I feel like a blind fool who must be missing some should have been obvious detail.

I'm going techie nomad. Techie, to see what the crafting system has to offer and to see what the best weapons are in the game between crafted weapons and looted weapons. Nomad, because I feel it fits with techie, and it's like an outsider perspective on Night City. In future playthroughs, it would be harder to be immersed in the whole, "I'm new to Night City, what is all this?"

I'm probably switching between k&m and gamepad, because I can't stand driving with k&m, but aiming is better with it. I might end up just using gamepad though if the aim assist feels really good.

I'm kind of in agreement, I was interested and then the more I find out about the sex stuff the more it seems... I don't know, looking at reviews like https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ga...e/1100-6484602/ where it talks about how there's tits everywhere, etc. If it's all just going to be male gazey edgy bullshit like that appealing to the thirsty Cheeto-dusted neckbeard gamer demographic I'm not going to be able to enjoy it. Which really sucks. I'm hoping it's not actually as bad as it seems?

It really does seem like it will be. The worst instincts and choices they made with the Witcher 1&2 but with a AAA budget. Remember this is the company that had a game character get a centre-fold in Poland's PlayBoy.

At least one guy who played the latest preview said the game isn't as trashy as the line pushed by marketing unless you're literally in the red light district or something, and the V dialog we have heard in preview clips is basically what you get if you mash the "douchebag" option over and over.
