I was a little disappointed in the limited amount of hair colours available. Most of them seemed very dark with not much of a difference between them (maybe that depends on hair style). Would have liked the option of some lighter/brighter hair especially red/ginger or grey/white. The red colour they have is very dark and what appears like it should be grey is actually a weird green.

i like dxhr but this shits all over it in every way. its better than mankind divided too because theres more of it

I think I agree with the guy who said that Adam Jensen's a better protagonist though. Like V's alright I guess, but seems a little bland, which is often what seems to be the result when you have these open RPG protagonists. Like Jensen is kind of almost that but he's so gruff it almost feels like an affectation and it sort of loops around to being charming, so far in general I think I liked DEHR's characters and general art design better, but in that this game is alot more open and offers much more in the way of freedom, exploration and immersion I think it's probably a better game.

I also wish more video games did what Saints Row 2 and such did with the voiced protagonists and offer you ~3 pretty different options for both male and female, rather than have the one "fit-all" performance.

So how do I get the cops to leave me alone? I stumbled into some gangers about to kill some civies "killing is fun!" so I started taking shots at them, but this just got the cops on the scene and I had to book it. Got away, but now I guess I have a warrant and every time I turn the corner and run into some beat cop walking the streets they pull their gat on me and start blasting. Kinda making things a hassle.

Am I just running into a bug? Does no one else have the cops agro them on-sight after committing a "crime" even after successfully evading the police (multiple times)? Like, I had that shoot out a while back and they're still on my case the second they see me strolling down the street, taking in the city.

I was hesitant with Keanu as first impressions mentioned his performance to be worse than the rest, but honestly I like him a lot. He's very much the tired, self righteous former Rockstar and having him around all these scenes is really cool.

Also it's funny how he sometimes adds content to convos, I followed his advice one time and it was just completely wrong and the guy got super pissed off. Really funny.

Hey now, Geralt isn't a grump - he just reserves his personality for people he actually likes (mostly naked witches).


e: Is the bathroom mirror bug something that's happened to everyone rather than based on random chance? It's still happening to me after multiple restarts, leaving and returning etc.

Also lol I got a bug where my main quest objective was to talk to a guy even after I'd already spoken to him and exhausted all of the options. I had to restart to get the game to figure out the actual objective.

I figured the PS4 version would look better on a PS5 than on my 1070 and after looking at some videos of it running on a 1070, I chose fuckin wrong, because it looks way better running on my old specs than Playstation, at least in Youtube videos. It's possible the compression is just doing it a lot of favors.

Game is hella good, but the resolution and textures just look distractingly bad on console at times. Fighting the urge to rebuy it on PC and just shelve the PS version until a proper PS5 update comes out, but there is no way I'm double dipping because of a hosed up port and afaik the PC version isn't total smooth sailing either.

Goddamn there is so much in this game that feels like it should have been stamped out or ironed by some producer level editing. Can't complete a quest until I send information to Regina so I try to wander out of the area, nope, I call her, she doesn't give a poo poo, no I have to hit phone then hit message instead which is apparently an option and find the one message I can reply to and then reply to it so the quest will loving end. And that access point minigame, the Human Revolution poo poo was more parseable than that. This game is just so interesting on a fundamental level

Yeah I was a little worried going in but it runs really well at the medium preset in 1080p on my 1070 / 6700K and looks nice, although with that said buying this game turned out to be a bad idea because it still made me want to buy a much nicer graphics card, and right now really doesn't seem like the optimal time to do it.

The funniest glitch so far was when the ripperdoc ''installed'' the ammo UI in my eyes and asked me to look at it and...nothing changed, it glitched out just like a lot of the subtitles and UI elements in my game. Then he's all smug "isn't it better?". Thanks for nothing man I guess I owe you 21k.

We named all the quests after the "prologue" after song titles, mostly stuff we imagined that Johnny might have liked or been influenced by (and era appropriate to the alt-history). We made a few exceptions because of reasons (usually quest designer REALLY wanted a specific song, or the title was perfect and we were too exausted to keep looking).

Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0bV7n0QshCtpLXfQlGEl4K
Tidal (for jerks): https://tidal.com/browse/playlist/98e6ca98-dd4c-4726-9fc8-e46c4528e50a

Not quite everything is on there, cause some songs aren't on streaming services, so we've also included a few covers and substitutions. Obviously minor spoilers for quest names.

Totally diggin' this game. I wasn't paying super close attention to it and thought it was gonna be a GTA crossed with Skyrim type open world game from the marketing, happy to see it is indeed a story-driven RPG that uses an amazingly atmospheric city as its backdrop. I do, however, imagine people looking for a richer open world experience will be disappointed. Been a long, long time since I just kinda wandered around in a game looking at the sights. Playing on PC and haven't really encountered too many bugs, nothing like New Vegas.

My only real complaint is the RPG stuff is just kinda... there. I usually dig this aspect of games a ton, but all of it seems like % increases with no real fundamental change to the way you play your character. The loot also seems kinda distracting and out of place in a setting like this. Maybe I'll get more used to the systems as I go through the game.

Yeah, I play and like RPGs alot but this just makes my eyes glaze and roll to the back of my head.

I complained about jank before like I'm not used to it. I grew up with eurojank but here it just feels so out of place because everything art and creative wise feels so polished to perfection.

When the story immerses me though, it really does immerse me and I'm really enjoying it so far. Plowing through the main quest is satisfying as hell.

Yeah like, we could do that in Skyrim almost a decade ago.

I feel like CDPR could have hired a couple of people, not even from Bethesda, but people who just play Bethesda games a lot and ask what is missing from this build. Because as lovely as Bethesda can be sometimes, they understand the design of open world RPG's and gamers have certain expectations after playing a lot of these kinds of games.

I want to change the face of my current character because up close, it looked like she had a lot of freckles, but from afar she looks like she's haggard and covered in dirt. I loved the look up close, but the look up close and the look from far away are very different looks. And now I can't change that.
