Apropos fuckup on the end credits screen to cap a 46-hour journey of cyberjank. Loved the game, even with all the technical hitches and terrible performance. Having your car veer into pedestrians, instantly rack up a wanted rating and then having teleporting cops explode your car, all within about 4 seconds, is a bit much.

I'm doing my very hard no kill run and it is going pretty well, but I ran into a kind of funny bug. I did a gig for Regina where she wanted me to kill a guy so I knocked him out and threw him in the trunk of the car she sent. She called me up afterwards and said that she received the body so I ran around doing other stuff for a while. Turns out the quest never completed and the car was just driving around with that gonk in the trunk for the last couple of hours. I figured it out when I saw the side quest icon for it show up on the other side of Watson from the quest. I drove over there and it was the same car with the same guy in the trunk still driving around. I lit up the trunk with a quick burst from an SMG and I got a quest completed message. I assume I killed him, but the car kept driving so I'll never know for sure.

SubponticatePoster posted:If your armor is doing nothing that has got to be a bug, I've got over 2k armor and in fights with regular mooks I literally take no damage. Big hits result in losing 1-2 HP. Either that or I'm the one that's bugged but in this case I'll take it And then I got one-shot by a trauma team guy's reinforcements (after slowly stunlocking one with a baseball bat, and looting his level 50 gun on my level 40 V) when they took offense at gang members killing a civilian with a hand grenade. In hindsight, a lot of my deaths by "Do nothing unless it is against the player" health and law teams is caused by my saving civilians from their scripted deaths, instead of waiting for them to get executed before sweeping in to kill random gang members. Even inconsequential enemies get real strange sometimes though. Occasionally I will see grey threat random gang members in the starting area who need 18 Ram to hack, after having swept through an even level area where I get a discount and can suicide an enemy hacker with 8-9.

The most annoying thing to me is the seemingly random way in which an otherwise innocuous enemy will shrug off basically every quickhack.

It's disappointing that hacking really isn't worked into the combat mechanics, it's basically a separate system entirely that functions as a "skip combat" button of varying effectiveness. They should have enemies who shut off their cybernetics if there's an alert so you can't ping or hack them, enemies who are never connected in the first place- maybe a whole luddite faction who you just cannot hack at all- phantom enemies, enemies who ping their own network so if you're silently picking people off they know about it, etc. There's a ton of stuff they could do with it if they treated it as an actual mechanical system. Maybe it'll get expanded on in DLC

Bust Rodd posted:The worst posts in the thread without question are the brilliant armchair devs who just think the game would be better if hacking were worse/less fun. Just insane. I want enemy hackers to be as deadly as a player netrunner can be then add the proper tools (to both the player and enemies) to defend against it. There’s that single instance in the game when you’re fighting Sasquatch that NetWatch tries to hack you and Placide has to play defense while you’re still dealing with the boss. Game even throws a bar showing the progress of that hacking fight which adds a timed element to an already cool boss fight. I think that’s the closest the game comes to actually hacking you during combat and it only takes place once during a boss fight. Hacking lets you become a literal cyber god of death and the game doesn’t know how to handle it. Hell, the game doesn’t even let you acknowledge it during the story. Even if you’re playing all wizard / unarmed, your hacking can never be used as a threat or for chases, the game will automatically have you draw a gun (from where???) for those moments.

Hacking is a tool in the box just like a weapon and I use it all the time in tandem with my weapons, in the same way I’d use guns and biotics in Mass Effect. Honestly I think they made a mistake making damaging hacks in general. Making it a way to apply debuffs or status effects primarily means it would get used for more in-combat work and feel more naturally part of the game then hiding in a corner casting contagion through a camera. You certainly can play that way, but I think tossing around debuffs mid-combat is probably more fun. It's how I'm definitely going to play my hacker/cool/katana corpo. Nobody can shoot me if nobody can see! Also would mean that the AI could, for instance, apply status effects to you too, instead of just catching you on fire. E: being clear, I'm glad that you can play that way and wish that aspect was played up more and more involved. The idea of some gangs being networked so you can't pick them off one by one unless you take out the netrunner first seems neat. I'd like it to be more involved, not less. And also, it seems a great way to make fighting the factions different. Right now they all feel pretty similar but with a bit more work, mostly on the hacking front, I think they could end up feeling more varied.

Also I’d like a favorite bind so that I could cast a hack at a target without having to go through the menu every time. I’ll happily give up grenades if I could fling weapon glitch with a button.

CP2077 hacking is basically if you made a BG2 where all the enemies wizards could only cast magic missile, and only at like, 5th level. The discourse around CP2077 is the same discourse that D&D has always had: This system fails because it sucks vs. This system is supposed to suck and therefore, it succeeds.

I haven't found anything through Google but in the faint hope that a goon knows better: is there any high-tier sandevistan OS that doesn't break your ability to do light melee combos while active? Starting to think that berserk might be the way to go for just slicing things up.

It's actually kind of funny that fantasy games always have the problem of combat character play being boring and samey and caster play being spectacular, whereas in Cyberpunk the reverse is true. Running and gunning is so much more fun to actually do than Airdropping trojan viruses through a VATS interface.

Is there a breakpoint for Act 2 in which your choice of faction quest determines which ending you get? I'm trying to play out the Brigitte / Takemura / Panam lines as much as I can until I can make an informed choice. I'm at Transmission's start with Brigitte (haven't accepted), whatever quest is after the docks meeting with Hanako's bodyguard where he refuses to aid you, and the quest after you help Panam get her car back and, if it matters, refuse to go revenge stomp Nash.

There's just too many damned points to go around. playing 20int, 11cool, 18tech, 18ref, i just dont feel like ive made any tradeoffs. everything but my fists are deadly as hell. Make all quickhacks status effects except short ciruit but raise its cooldown and rework the weapon types so that their dps is highly dependent on perk selection. gimp my guns if i went full hakerboi, and take away some of the perk points from the individual skill leveling. afflictionwisp fucked around with this message at 01:52 on Jan 2, 2021 |

You make an explicit decision between all of the available ending options during the end game after the point of no return mission. Playing through all those side missions is what will unlock your choices at the end. Not doing quests will limit your choice, but no decisions take away options.
