Yeah the BD sequences were apparently some of the hardest things to make, something about having to set up the animations and blocking for the entire scene and then having to go in and figure out where it needed adjustment, repeating the process until it ended up right. Hopefully they can come up with some engineered solutions to improve the process going forward, hoping BDs can be expanded upon somehow even though they're apparently a pain to create

Well maybe something a bit less ambitious. I got thinking how there's hopefully vehicular combat coming. Maybe instead of meticulously blocking out 1st person BDs someone could make a Badlands Rumble car combat quest and then put the brain dance launching effects around it but you play it as regular gameplay.

The stocks don't matter, money doesn't matter, interacting with the game in a way that sparks interesting reactions and novel developments doesn't matter. This game is meant to be a stern rebuke of the players intentions and that's IT.

Just finished Search and Destroy again. Fuuuuuuuck, I can't do it. I can't be a dick to Johnny all the time. I'm still gonna go for the Hanako ending but drat this is gonna hurt. I've been antagonistic with Johnny every chance I can get and it has been really fun seeing just how nasty he and V can be to each other. But even I have my limits and cutting myself off from content is one of them. So I'll be kind of nice to Johnny. Just a bit.

I've put an unholy amount of hours into this game, having done everything so far except the secret ending (which I think is beyond me unless I tone down the difficulty level, which would feel like cheating). By the end of my current run I felt like capping out all my skills for the heck of it. Problem is, I'm about 15k XP short of level 20 in Breach and there's basically nothing left in the game I can use it on. Everything I've ever breached stays breached forever, random enemy spawns like Valentino Alley are immune, and I doubt there's enough untapped access points left to cover it. Am I just screwed there? Handguns also gets XP frustratingly slowly compared to every other weapon, but at least it could still be grinded out.

If you're on PC, you're obviously not screwed (hacks/mods). If you're on consoles... the guards at the checkpoint south of the city infinitely respawn and there's a ton of turrets to hack there and they always spawn a flying robot or two when you attack them. I think that should give you experience?

Oh yeah, I forgot about the border checkpoint. I assumed they'd be immune to Breach like all other respawning enemies but I'll give it a shot. I missed out on the crafting specs for one of the visible stash guns because it didn't drop when it was supposed to (and I didn't notice until much later), so I'll have to console hack that in anyway I guess.

Does the legendary shingen smart SMG get a crafting spec or is it stuck like Skippy where you have to upgrade it the whole way.

I'm pretty sure only iconic gear can be upgraded to legendary. Everything else is either purchased or crafted at legendary spec. Says here you can buy it from a vendor: https://cyberpunk.fandom.com/wiki/Arasaka_TKI-20_Shingen Edit: There's another one that's iconic https://cyberpunk.fandom.com/wiki/Prototype:_Shingen_Mark_V

It's the iconic one you find during Gimme Danger. I don't think it has a crafting spec so you only get the one. Meaning if you want a level 50 version you better be ready to spend a lot of components getting it there.

Using CET to gift myself crafting components is the only thing I do in the game that doesn't really feel like cheating. Edit: The 'cheapest' way to craft an iconic weapon to 50 legendary is to avoid upgrading it all until you're 50. Nfcknblvbl fucked around with this message at 21:27 on Nov 28, 2022 |

The numbers in this game are straight up goofy. Why would anyone think it's a good idea to handicap players that don't wait until the level cap to upgrade their weapon rarity? The levelled numbers on guns are kind of horseshit too and make every piece of trash you pick up feel incredibly disposable. The randomized stats on attachments are both minute until level cap and make no sense to be randomized. Attaching so much player survivability to your fashion choices via the armor stat was a huge mistake that it took implementing a vanity armor system to rectify. I've never understood why games use this lovely disposable loot system instead of treating each of their guns as playstyles. The power of the weapons feels so arbitrary and disconnected from their sound design and animations because of the numbers game lootbox poo poo. I'm a fan of a lot of what CP77 does narratively but the itemization is completely busted, 99% of the items in the game have no reason to exist. E: like for every food item in the game you should have to sit down at a restaurant or hit up a vending machine and actually munch a burrito xxl or whatever. They even have a perk that automates turning junk items into crafting components! The fact that that's appealing at all means all that poo poo is an annoyance! There is no reason to ever, ever use booze as an item (but the convo options where you sip a bit are perfectly implemented). Why does it exist? It's a bunch of meaningless clutter that the game would be better without. Jorge Bell fucked around with this message at 05:05 on Nov 29, 2022 |

I wish there was a way to make food buffs last longer. Like I enjoy the mechanic from an immersion standpoint I would rather the buff last several in game hours so it felt more like meals.

I would enjoy using food if it provided benefits, but having 20 Body means I'm healed after every fight and never run out of stamina.

It does boost your max health, which is nice on higher difficulties (and especially in the Don't Fear the Reaper mission). Then again, the whole thing about Body is that it makes you less reliant on buff items.

I mean yeah absolutely, I was one of the early apologists for this game and I still agree with all that, the fact that items don't even display what level they are make deciding what to upgrade kind of a hassle. The fact some items do burn or some items are electric should be interesting but it's a complete afterthought like 90% of the time.

Yeah, I'm sure by now it's been discussed to death but as a new comer to the game the fallout-esque run around and press E to loot entire room is silly. My character jamming 20 submachine guns into a dropbox to make $350 is dumb. I know I don't have to loot everything but checking what's valuable or not is slower than hoovering up entire rooms of equipment and then dismantling it/selling it later. I agree on the food/drink thing too. It's super weird for such an immersive game to dump you into a menu when you try to buy a drink at a bar.

Having dozens of different food items could be interesting if they didn't all have identical effects. Or if it wasn't a nuisance to go multiple menus deep to use them if you accidentally clicked E instead of R while gathering up everything else in the room. At least they don't have any weight so you don't have to periodically empty out the healing items page unless you want a hundred eddies from selling them all. It's a lot more fun to realize that you've collected several hundred weightless grenades over the course of a play through that you never bothered to use, and then going on a mad bombing spree. Did you know that if you get the "grenades can crit" perk, you can also get crits when you bean somebody on the head with a grenade? A red 2 followed by a red 8000 is kinda funny.

Electric shocks like Shock-N-Awe also set off Ozob's nose. I always feel a little conflicted about that outcome because on the one hand, he's a fun guy and you're not suppose to kill your friends, but on the other hand... well, he (apparently deliberately) installed a live grenade in his face, and having him blow his own head off by punching you too hard is an amazing ending to his story.
