Yeah the prices of legendary weapons and armor in shops is basically the game saying “you should just look into crafting” because there isn’t anything you can buy in the stores stronger or more useful than the stuff you can make and sell on the fly. Also I figured I’d skip respeccing on my first character but I’m at the point where I could respec all of my item/crafting/droprate perks because once you have max level and max gear there’s no point anymore, that’s like 6-10 perk points you can reassign to just become even more broken and deadly. I saw two day-of reviews that both said “crafting is a broken skill point trap, don’t even bother” and they were hilariously, obscenely wrong. In general I don’t think day of reviews for a game like this make any sense, it’s crystal clear that many of them berserker rushed the main story mission, skipping 90% of the game, and their reviews are FULL of stuff that’s just objectively untrue about the game (crafting is worthless, you never have enough money, picking up grey guns off the ground is the best way to boost DPS) and these are game reviewers that I usually really respect and trust.

One thing that frustrated me was that I thought of myself as a crafting Guru but one thing the game doesn’t explain to you at all is how crafting mods work. When you see a mod recipe in a store, they are like 10x as expensive as the mod itself is, usually sitting right next to it, and I assumed it was like a bug or just bad itemization. NO, the mod blueprints are expensive because mod crafting scales to your crafting level, lmao, and the game just sort of hopes you’ll figure that out? I’m not asking for an extended crafting tutorial but just like a single pop-up window maybe? For something that works totally different from every other craftable item in game? Also Jesus please god in heaven just put a little check mark or a + sign on blueprints I already know how to craft. Constantly having to open a shop, close it, open my crafting menu, scroll to double check, then going back to shopkeeper inventory to buy it is PEAK-Euro-Jank

I think getting TA / crafting to 12 is a good breakpoint to reach early on or even for most characters. That's when you get both exnihilo and epic crafting at which point you can bust the game with tons of armor and some even a chance at free upgrades. If you prioritize this before your actual build you can get it almost right at the start (only need to reach level 7). This also gives you the added benefit of having access to opening a bulk of the locked doors you'll encounter.

History Comes Inside! posted:So my final experience with Cyberpunk is loving absolutely tier one perfect on brand for this game, I just crashed in the middle of the goddamn credits. I decided to turn it back on and go for another ending just to see how rough they got since I got the Panam ending and it was reasonably upbeat and the game had auto saved at the start of the credits. It’s like they knew this piece of poo poo game could fall apart under even the light load of scrolling the loving credits.

Memnaelar posted:Like is there ever ANY benefit to visiting a fixer in person? It seems so weird to have them all have offices and yet have them be so obviously meaningless when you pop in to say hi... None. I figure it must be a holdover from a previous build of the game. Come to think of it, it would actually be cool to have to go see the fixers irl when you unlock extra rewards doing optional objectives. Of course, they'd have to think of rewards a bit less generic than just a few extra eddies which is all you get at the moment. With the added annoyance of having to schlep your rear end to a specific drop box for no discernible reason.

I didn't side with Netwatch and jacked into the guy to get the Netwatch info, only then not-die (thanks biochip). Then did the cyber adventure the way VDB wanted it to play out, and once I jacked out, Brigitte was being a piece of poo poo when I called her out for trying to kill me twice, and she was all "yeah well that's business suck it up". Got a dialogue option to draw my gun and decided screw it, murdered the entire base with a smart shotgun. I'm normally a goody two-shoes helperbot in these games, but drat the VDB pushed it too far there lol

Silent/No Kill/No Alarm objectives should give you stealth rewards, like a recipe for cheap craftable throwing knives or the recipe for silent shoes

re: Dream On That was a fun little quest, felt a lot like X-Files actually. I chose to tell Jefferson everything and encourage him to fight, even though I know both options will just lead him to get brainwashed the next day. But the drat assholes even called me and threatened me, so I had to try something. I wonder if we ever return to them, from what I understood I'm blocked now and it's the last quest for them (for now). I kinda want to believe Johnny's theory about not-aliens but rather those super powerful AI's seeping in through the Blackwall and manipulating us.

Im really stuck on this as well. Everything I see online says that crafting mods basically rolls a die and you can get anything from common to epic quality mods. And I see lot of screens of peeps running full 20 piece epic armadillos. But I think I've made over 100 armor mods and only ever get rares at max. Not that I really need more armor, but its annoying me anyways.

If anyone cares, these are my specs and experience with Cyberpunk: I'm using what is basically a 300 us PC (I bought a eBay desktop with an old i5 Core 3550, added a GTX1650 and some RAM) it was supposed to be a cheap emulation box so I bought the game from GOG for 36 bucks to try it and return it if it ran like rear end, but surprisingly, it runs OK. Gunplay, missions, and general gameplay is fine, but driving is a BIG mess of stutters and pauses, but I drive just to admire the city anyways,so for me, it's acceptable. I'm using Alex optimization guide, playing at 1080P with DRS to 85% locked to 30FPS with VSync. Game is the kind of fun that sucks you in for HOURS. I believe that if you go looking for GTA, you'll be disappointed... Actually if you are the kind of player who wanted to LIVE in this world and stand in a corner, summon the 13 year old slipknot fan inside you and just do nihilistic chaos then yeah, this is not the game for you, but the writing, characters, moral desicions and just the path the writers planned for you ARE what made this game unforgettable for me, bravo. Not a sigle crash around 20 hours in, game runs OK and I belive I got my money's worth and then some. It's a shame the game shipped on consoles the way it did, I have a ps4 pro and decided against playing it there due to GOGs return policy as a my insurance but I can honestly say I'm very happy with the game and well worth the hype. As for the current media response to the game, it's almost inevitable... games journalism media is the most pretentious, saddest and hungriest of all media and this game and it's issues are like dead meat to flies. I mean there are legitimate problems and CDPR is trying as much as a large corpo can, but this is an outlet of rage for these writers and the cesspool of Twitter is feeding that outrage. In the end, it's a unforgettable experience of atmosphere, writing and tight gameplay unlike I have played in years. Game good.

I don't really understand how the blackwall works. Like, it segregates the new internet from the old infrastructure because a bunch A.I and super viruses or something are over there? Why not just shut down the old hosting servers or wherever the actual physical locations they live in is? Is this like digimon, is cyberspace a parallel universe?

Dream On drove home to me how hosed everyone in Night City is. Live on the penthouse level, have private security, run for mayor thinking you're independent- doesn't matter, can/will end up captured. The voice acting of the wife was pretty good and drove home how scary having your mind messed with like that was. In a game that honestly mostly misses the mark on showing that you're a small cog in the shadows avoiding the powerful, it really did well on that theme

You know, they should have just made all the NPCs you interact with romanceable, even if they shoot you down or it's just in a "casual hookup" kinda way. Forget Judy or Panam, I wanna ask the receptionist lady at Clouds out on a date.
