Also I seem to be spontaneously combusting which honestly has had me giggling like an idiot lol, the thought of me running around on fire at random intense intervals is hilarious.

If you're in a fight, that's an enemy netrunner using overheat hacks on you. If you're not in a fight....the game is known to have just a tiny, ever-so-small amount of bugs :haw:

IIRC, originally there was gonna be three major characters from the sourcebooks intertwined with V throughout the game, depending on what life path you chose, all of which ended up getting cut of course. I know Johnny was supposed to be one but I forget the other two (maybe someone from Arasaka and Grimes' character? not sure).

Saburo Arasaka and Morgan Blackhand, iirc

Who knows, maybe the ransomware guys will fix the cops spawning behind you and make naked V stop Tposing on my motorcycle.

Otoh, maybe there's design space to expand on the Night City Erotic Motorcycle Display Team

worst of all, they give you a motorcycle and a katana but it's not possible to use both at the same time

once again, Saint's Row 2 remains the high water mark for the genre

No matter where your expectations were set, I think we call all agree on that the game has some absolute standouts (the music) and some absolute nadirs (the food modeling).

Seriously tho, cars, faces, clothes? Incredible. Some yakitori? Ugly brown blobs.
C'mon CDPR, Japanese devs solved this ages ago!!

Wow, ok. I retract music as 'the one good thing we can all agree on' :shobon:
It's funny GTA 3 got brought up - I was thinking the other day about how that's the ur-example of a big developer deciding to do their own radio station music and doing it well. Then I spent the rest of the workday listening to Rise FM.


I am glad, however, that we are a united front about the garbage-looking food.

New vegas and alpha protocol on the xbox 360. Your welcome

Alpha Protocol isn't an open world game. New Vegas is a good call tho!

Speaking of ol' Adam Smashman, ever wanted to remove 70% of his health in approx .5 seconds?

Ever wanted to effortlessly turn an entire freeway to smouldering wreckage!?


If so my friend, the Prototype Shingen is what you seek! Boom boom boom!!

Surprised I've never seen anyone mention it before, it's a v fun way to leave your enemies in little pieces :sickos:

Without going into the specifics of any other ending, is this the "bad" ending?


Vagabundo posted:

Specifics of every other ending

You got what most people would think of as the middle ending, there's one that's bleaker and one that's somewhat brighter (but you're on the money that there's no true happiness in NC).

E: there's also a different ending if you make the opposite choice to the one you did, that's also sits somewhere in the middle.

It amazes me how something like this is the third game in its series with years of lessons learned and opportunities to improve and it still ends up so mediocre. I have to at least give them credit for taking a risk on the procedurally generated characters thing, but the overall story is just so drat lame and predictable.

On paper it was a really interesting twist on the formula, but from what I've seen the real problem is that the mechanics and mission design just did not support the recruit-and-play-as-anyone concept.
