I’m gonna buy it mostly because I have a sick pc for the first time in my life. People who have played the stolen or whagever copies say the game game is fun and good but the quest log/management inventory is a loving mess. I guess the warehouse copies are very old though so maybe day 1 patch fixes it

Witcher 3's was really bad too on console until they updated it, at which point it became manageable but not ideal

is the gunplay good?

Yeah but I wish enemies had a little less HP on hard mode, sometimes it takes like one shot more than it feels like it should to kill people. It's balanced well as far as difficulty goes but it always feels bad to like land a perfect shotgun to the head and still have to follow up with a melee attack to kill somebody.

edit: I'm also super early on, I've spent at least 30 minutes of my playthrough so far just clicking around websites on the in-game internet

Stealth seems really powerful in this since (at least so far) it's a guaranteed one hit kill on anyone. It's cool taking on side jobs I'm under leveled for and silently assassinating targets but I might chill on it for a little because it feels kind of OP

Man all the story missions are sick so far. Going into the Animal hideout is so intense. I decided to meet with the Militech lady, take her booby trapped credit chip, and then hack and defuse it. Then I put a gun to Royce's head but gave him the money and warned him that Militech was trying to gently caress him. Really it seems like that could have gone a whole lot of different ways

i spent so much time trying on clothes and staring at perks that I only just started ripper doc, so maybe I should let the game teach me a little more before I go chasing side missions anyway

Yeah keep pushing through it for a little bit -- there's some cool early side quests that open up some new stuff but you'll get them directly through calls or texts. IMO don't stress about doing ?s on the map (unless you just feel like it) until you get through the prologue, which is pretty long

Blades seem like the way to go for me. I'm not usually into first person melee combat, but my katana sings for blood. Plus you can apply a Bleed effect, and damage over time is one of my autism gamer triggers.

Yeah there's a quickhack called Contagion that gives enemies a damage over time status that spreads among nearby enemies and I can't stop using it even though all my direct damage stuff is probably better at this point lol. Feels so good watching it spread and tick down

edit: I'm personally doing mostly shotgun + quickhacks to help me stun or disarm people and close the distance between me and them. Once you get a decent gun you almost always get a knockdown at close range and can easily kill guys when they're on the ground. Shotgun tree also has a bunch of movespeed perks which is fun

I really hope the main plot gets to a chiller point where I feel better about stopping to do side quests because even though I'm PRETTY sure the game isn't going to fail me for putting off objectives, everything's just a little too urgent right now for me to gently caress off and go enter shooting range tournaments and stuff

Most gun salesmen seem to have a lot of ammo but you can also craft it at very generous rates out of common components, and I don't think you need any levels in crafting to do it.

I'm glad this game doesn't shy away from locking that rear end out of content based on your build. God forbid someone would play your game again. Pussy rear end devs.

There's a few things -- like in an early mission when you're retrieving a robot that Militech lady gives you a booby-trapped credchip to give to the Marauders, and if you have the hacking skill to disarm it you can get a very different outcome to the mission that seems to affect future events too but yeah for the most part skill checks have been just a way to avoid combat or get out of paying money for stuff.

If you're talking about that robot quest, staying in the gang's good graces definitely changes some later stuff. I think there's like 4 routes you can take through that all wind up pretty differently

If you're getting into hacking one good money-making tip is to save up for the cybernetic legs that let you do a charged super jump, they're like $40k -- rooftops seem to be loaded with terminals that you can hack for $$, and with the skills that give you bonus money for hacking terminals you can pay off your investment pretty quickly

drat nevermind lol I think the game just hosed me for this, or at least for trying to juggle too many opposing story branches at one time. Don't click unless you've done the quest "Both Sides, Now" but Evelyn just committed suicide and I'm pretty sure I could have prevented that

How many hours into this can you completely abandon the plot?

After the first act (maybe 6 hours?) you can go pretty much anywhere and take side quests wherever. I know one person who hit the level cap just doing that

Something cool I noticed is the dialogue selection will change automatically if you look at someone or something that has its own options.

I hope other games rip off the dialogue mechanics, it's great not being locked into conversations. There were a couple times with NPCs at first where I felt weird because there was no option to exit the conversation until I realized you can just walk away and V says goodbye automatically; feels very naturally

Of course the one set of trees i completely neglected. Thanks for the heads up!

It's insanely good, I have so much cost and cooldown reduction stuff, double damage for hacks on unaware enemies, etc. It's pretty much my primary combat method now and I just take out a gun occasionally to clean up. You definitely want to upgrade your deck ASAP though -- just about every ripperdoc has some unique ones available so it's worth shopping around

i see so many people complaining about weird bugs like this but personally im so glad this game has that janky loving bethesda openn world charm to it. love it

I had my first really annoying one today where a pair of turrets became unhackable and invincible and would shred me in like 30 seconds in a zone I was supposed to be calmly walking around doing detective mode poo poo in. Reloading to before the quest fixed it but it was not very charming lol. I feel like the back half of the game is buggier than the beginning
