its weird because they have the "can't destroy this item" mechanic for johnny's stuff (which btw is great because if you craft multiples looking for more mod slots, it keeps all of them from every rarity in your inventory), why the gently caress wouldn't they enable this for all iconics this game is just loving stupid as gently caress with the majority of its gameplay systems wouldn't surprise me if its firesaled for $15 by the end of next month like its currently going the Star Citizen route where all the "I like this game" content around the web is super pretty screenshots from people playing at max settings on super powered rigs talking about how they just hit 500 hours in the game and finding new locations to pose at thats...not a good sign TheAgent fucked around with this message at 20:31 on Jan 25, 2021 |

Same goes for weapons. The upgrade/loot system is just total nonsensical poo poo, and this is coming from someone who put hundreds of hours into Destiny.

Thursday Next posted:Welp, just found out that deconstructing "iconic" gear DOES give you the schematic... which is useless forevermore because you do not have the base component. I'm a dumb dumbo but that was not made clear Oh. I didn't even understand that part. You get the schematic when you get the item. Regardless, once you've deconstructed any icon item, it is gone forever and the schematic is useless. There's no prompt for deconstructing one, so hope you see the slightly yellowish background before you accidentally delete 'em

I think it's important in a game like this because otherwise your character is just sprinting from mass murder to mass murder with some (really well-done) conversations to split up the day I liked Cyberpunk a lot for the record

I prefer to keep stuff I don't actively need in V's apartment stash, but having to lug quest items around, long after said quest is ended loving blows. Also, why would River's gun be a quest item, if you can't stash it? They clearly want you to, since there's a slot for it on the wall display in the stash room.

 That's me standing on the E. I challenge anyone else to reach this location, only using vehicles and double jumps. I did save scum because some jumps were hard. I think double jump is necessary for this one, but I have no experience using the big/hover jump. This is in the downtown area, far left side of the map. edit: I am definitely having more fun with this game trying to jump to the top of buildings than actually playing the game forest spirit fucked around with this message at 21:36 on Jan 25, 2021 |

Coming up on 150 hours or so. I can't argue with that. The different Operating systems are pretty cool, I mean there's some variety there when you're a god level hacker. Occasionally though, I run into some kind of damage wrapping where Short Circuit gives 1-10 damage on opponents specifically vulnerable to electric damage. Like most of the game play systems feel like prototype marzipan dildos. Good at first but sooner or later, it just becomes a mess. Frying peeps from the inside never gets old though... Or making their chooms shoot them.

TheAgent posted:I mean that's basically what we got here. combat is so unchallenging, even with half the perks being broken or not working as intended, that you can just straight up kill everything on screen in 4 seconds to get to the talky bits that are pretty okay but ultimately come down to ME3's Almost everything in this post directly applies to Witcher 3, including the “half perks not working” thing. For some reason CDPR likes to make games where the player far out scales everything else, so even with a little bit of attention to your stats and gear you start turning into a death god.

Like yeah sure it's great that it's silenced but 99% of the time when I need to snipe some fucker they're not THAT far away and behind hard cover I need to shoot through.

Wait do because your computer doesn’t get 100 spam emails a day it means your appartment serves no function? What?!

Listen, I'll have you know that I personally emailed Joe Cyberpunk over at CD Projekt Red with my list of 223 brilliant suggestions for the game, and the fact that not one, not a single one of them made it into the game is glaring evidence of just how much content they cut from this hackjob of a game. I can't wait to fight for a refund once I'm done with my 80 hour playthrough.

Orange Crush Rush posted:Almost everything in this post directly applies to Witcher 3, including the “half perks not working” thing. Cyberpunk has like three that I think I'll remember. Honestly the other day I was remembering the Panam tank combat end thing and realized it could've been straight outta any of the CoD games and almost got it confused with the end of Cold War. A lot of the set pieces, characters and choices are easily forgettable. Weirdly I think the last River questline will stick with me, even thought the beginning and middle were forgettable (honestly I can't even remember why or how I met River) but the end at the farmhouse was sickening and weird and the virtual game with the kids was pretty cool like I find it super weird that River is such a meh but I'll probably end up remembering and liking the end of that questline really in like a few years in my brain CP2077 will be "that future game with keanu with a ton of lovely bugs, terrible combat and ill-planned mechanics that had a somewhat passible storyline and a handful of neato moments" I'm hoping to add "and then they added this DLC that made it incredible and fixed all my whiny complaints, wow, good job, really well done, stellar, awesome" but I'm fearing it's gonna head v quickly into ME:A or Anthem territory

TheAgent posted:That track record was with entirely different developers, headed by an entirely different dude and run by a different set of managers. If they did that, they will get sued by the Polish Government or someshit so I doubt severely that’s what’s going to happen. Also I do have a bit of a problem with people calling CP2077’s combat/gameplay terrible, while acting like it’s not just W3 with guns in first person, because it’s basically that, down to “everything not really standing a chance against you after a while.” People wanna give the old game a pass but gotta act like the newer one is all that’s wrong with game design. It’s like the Zelda Cycle is taking over all video game discussion or something.

They haven't got a cash cow they can just put out in a year or even two. They need to get all the money out of CP2077 they can to tide them over for the several years until they can launch the next thing. From a pure greedy rear end in a top hat POV they need to milk this game for all it's got, and the way you do that is patch it and make DLC so you can sell expansions and GOTY ULTIMATE versions. Like for all the backlash it got, this was the biggest digital sales launch of all time even when accounting for returns. They have no incentive to bury it and move on. https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2021-01-24-cyberpunk-2077-is-now-the-biggest-digital-game-launch-of-all-time

110hrs down, all sidejobs done/cars collected, friendships maxed out etc and got the secret ending. The thing that will stick with me is how unrepentantly loving sad it was. The conclusions with all of the chars I really enjoyed (Judy, Jackie, Panam, Silverhand, the NO QUESTION best character in the game Brendan, and even V) are just all so fuckin... sad. The prospects for the future are sad, the present is sad, the world all around you is sad. Judy, in particular, was one of the best characters in any game I've ever played. Her occasional texts after you finish her story line as a male were devastating to me, even if she was herself was doing ok. When I ended Witcher 3, I felt at peace with it and still contemplate firing it up sometimes just to wander around and feel it again. I cant say the same about CP. Beyond the buggy/broken gamplay, the story and world are just so sad. I hated it and loved it. gently caress this game. Judy
