Sorry I meant to say I hope that the police use maximum force and kill or maim a bunch of innocent people, thus paving a way for a proletarian uprising and socialist utopia

I think female V's voice acting is really good. The VA work in general is I think one of the universally superior aspects to the game.

I'd just welcome some room for role playing, and I guess I don't really get what the character is about enough to connect with their moment to moment stuff like I would with a defined character like, say, Geralt. V so far exists in that Fallout 4 protagonist limbo in my mind

Aldecaldo spoilers:

I've been really enjoying this questline and I'm kind of wondering some things - I convinced Panam to go back to the Aldecaldos, and since then she's had more quests with them. I'm wondering if anyone told Panam to stay in Night City and what kind of choice reactivity there is; did you get the same quests?

Having done that full questline I would be very surprised if that does anything but lock off quests, but who knows!

Following up on my earlier post with actual numbers: since the game does that handy little sum number above baddies' heads when they have a dot, looks like a single normal knife slash is doing ~500-600 poison damage, give or take right now (my current knife is a blue 74 damage 290dps normie knife).

Additionally, poison appears to be non-lethal, so everyone I've done my little drive-by slashes on ends up rolling around on the ground after, if you were trying for non-kill.

Do sidequests. The pay adds up quick.

I paid off the Vik by level 4 and bought a 35k deck by level 6.

Yeah, I've paid him off and bought tons of poo poo, just didn't expect this. But ded pointed out a solution, so I'll focus on that quest first.

In other news, I'm not sure if my new mantis blades are better or worse than my upgraded katana, but I do know I don't like getting shot during the heavy attack animation!

It has come to my attention that my friends were picking weapons based on dps alone

More important than dps imo is the stat combination roll so don’t over look it!!!

Total reinstall didn’t fix my HUD bug, neither did deleting the profile/system save data and reloading, but somehow starting a new character and then loading a save from earlier again in my main playthrough worked.

:siren: Make a manual save before starting the mission “Lightning Breaks” with Panam because there’s apparently a good chance it’ll semi-permanently gently caress your HUD up :siren:

Specifically theres a section where you take control of the turret in her truck, once this happens the controls for the turret are forever shown in the lower right corner of the HUD and stacked up with any other relevant controls the game is showing you at any given time

Yep, this happened to me on the PS4 version, the HUD elements don't go away.

I have a mod on it that poisons, and stacking cool ups the damage, but I'm inclined to agree. I don't see much else that can improve the numbers on it. It's not BAD, but still :(

Ok, I'm seriously loving knives now.

Running to next gig, see 6 dudes threating someone, walk up and power attack first guy, slash guy next to him once, double jump over some benches to get to other guys, slash each once while sprinting, leap over railing so I don't die instantly to bullets (still playing on hardest difficulty with 3 body), and turn the corner to go back in and everyone is lying on the ground incapacitated.

Another HUD breaking issue:

The Tune Up -> Epistrophy side missions with the Delamain rogue taxis can break your holophone for the rest of the playthrough. It causes the portrait of any caller to bug out because it thinks it's talking to a Delamain AI. Can also cause progression issues: https://forums.cdprojektred.com/index.php?threads/delamain-quest-broke-my-phone-cant-continue-main-story-line.11044349/

Yeah I used that same one as well. I did gigs until my rep was high enough and I had enough cash so I could get it before the heist.

If anyone is wondering where it is, it’s at the ripperdoc in Watson (Kabuki specifically I believe. Near the middle of Watson, but not Vic’s. It’s in the same area where you have to convince that cop to drop the case.) it’s 35k and requires level 14 street cred to purchase. You can get it in act 1 before you even do the heist. It also makes it way easier to complete more breach objectives since you get way more “slots” during breach instead of the default 4.

I’m seriously considering shelving this game until I have a PS5. By then lots of patches will be out and the game should hopefully be in a more stable state. Might even wait for the next-gen upgrade.

I shelved Witcher 3 way back when and eventually went on to finish it.

A shitty post? This calls for a dance of deduction.
Jesus gently caress.

I was worried that I may be alone in getting sub-30fps a lot in the game when I'm outside due to using a i5-2500k in my setup, but my experience is like "definitive" compared to the PS4s.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5pHpQqhmR4

Sure my frame-rate may be like 3 or 4 frames better on average, but at least it's always at 1080p, the graphics and aliasing aren't scaled down, and there are actually pedestrians walking around.

This really is a next-gen game.

This is WAY more common than you think. Hell some developers don't get paid bonuses from publishers if they don't reach a certain Metacritic score. Fallout: New Vegas was short just 1% and as a result Obsidian had their payout chopped by Bethesda.

From looking at the posts on regular cyberpunk subreddit it looks like they might have calmed down and leaned into the memes? I dunno i can only take so much of reddit before closing the tab.

BTW when should I give a poo poo about upgrading weapons with mods and upgrades, etc? instead of just scrapping. So far I've just been replacing weapons with anything that does higher dps, but I'm still pre-keanu.

if you jump around on buildings and stuff you start to see a couple of weird patterns for filling out the city. like there'll be a sort of tall building with lips that you can run along that start connected to the roof of a shorter building. then once you run around the side of one of those lips, you reach a fire escape which you can go up pretty far. i've run across this lip and up this fire escape twice and saw video of someone else doing it earlier today. i should have documented where i saw my two but i didn't. I'm sorry and thank you

Sometimes this gets you really good items. I climbed around over one of the sex clubs (dunno the name, where you can make love to the guy) and above that club if you climb around like this there's a ton of cash like 3-4K and some really good armor.

I know and I'm not surprised but it just shows how loving eager they were to throw their employees under the bus on literally everything. Development hell, feature creep and impossible deadlines lined up one after another. Depressingly the way more surprising outcome here is that they admitted that the release was a clusterfuck. They could just point at the sales and go "See?? Successful launch! 89 on metacritic? Better luck next time"

I was aware of this and it's one thing when a company subcontracts and then does lovely things. That's the truly industry standard thing here and does not surprise me at all. What I wasn't aware of is that companies literally do this to their own employees AFTER they set them up for failure. Just loving heinous as gently caress.
