Not gonna read much right now, but holy poo poo the game is blowing me away ...

... with the amount of ridiculous jank that made it past a day 1 patch.

Still fun - just cleared what I assume is the 7 hour prologue bit - and gorgeous even without RTX. After some fiddling with the settings I came to the conclusion that I prefer 60+ fps to shiny surfaces at sub 40 fps.

But the clipping and bugs even in scripted (cut)scenes (floating suitcases, clipping weapons into NPCs faces, Jack walking straight through my car when he gets off his motorbike before entering the Maelstrom hideout, crashing his bike in a lamp post when leaving from there ... it's really laughable.

And this is with three delays and a day 1 patch.
I'm sure they'll fix it in the next 1-3 years to come but COME THE gently caress ON!

Ah well, back to it.

End of prologue SPOILER!

The game can't quite handle loading a game when NPCs are dead.

LOOK AT WHAT THEY DID TO MY BOY JACKIE!
I SAID TAKE HIM TO HIS FAMILY.
THANKS DELAMAIN! EXCELSIOR PACKAGE MY rear end!

Also it looks like he has a legendary item on him, which I can't get to. :argh:

You're allowed to have extra inputs so long as you get the asked-for numbers in the right order. So, in that image, you could pick the first 1C in the first row, then go down to the E9 in the bottom row, then across to the first 55, then up to either of those 7A's.

Some parts of the game, like the menus, don't play well with ultra-wide screen resolutions. Unfortunately it's going to take a patch to fix.


Usually escaping to the menu or triggering the scan mode fixes it for me.

Woof Blitzer posted:

The menus really blow.

The worst part of the menus is the buzzing/humming sound that makes me think my computer is about to melt (I am playing with headphones most of the time).

The game audio itself is top notch.

How do you perform the Hidden Dragon Aerial Takedown?

I'm on a cyberpsycho mission and I can't peform a normal non-lethal takedown on the crazy Mox, even though she's not a skull level enemy.

I guess I could do a 3 minute dance routine with a wrench, but one slip up and whoops 60% of my health are gone. Even if I say "gently caress this" and blast her with my charge shotgun, she takes like 2-4% damage per point blank salvo. Oh, and she heals herself as well. I am supposed to hack her from the Moxes subnet, but there is no connection I can see.

Then I thought, maybe Hidden Dragon will work, but when I drop down from a catwalk above her, there is no prompt or anything to indicate how this poo poo works. I have taken out other Psychos before without much trouble, but this one is starting to get annoying.

It's a "Dange: Moderate" gig from Regina Taylor.

What gives?

especially if we got to use some of those emotions we can see in the mirror.

Speaking of (and I can't check right now, phoneposting from bed), does grimacing at the mirror require RT to be fully cranked up? Because when I try all the expressions, nothing happens.

Or is there any other way to fix it?

There are so many little satisfying moments in this game, for instance leaving the room and throwing a grenade before closing the door on the little XBD family business that made a snuff video of some preacher's son.

I couldn't hack them and set them on fire, so that was the next best thing.
Easily the most revolting dialogue so far.

Braindance is the new "The Internet was a mistake" in 2077.
Cool idea, but it's used for either porn and snuff. Sometimes both.

If you're short on cash early in the game, there is a free legendary Monowire to be found in Kabuki.

Go here



and look for the Pharmarcy (big sign above the entrance, it's also where you may have gone to before for a Regina side gig).
Turn left and round the corner, look for this garage door, open it and loot your shiny new murdercable.

Awww maaan, I just got into the great tin can scam of 2077 to be filthy rich and equipped with legendary poo poo up to the gills and got hit by the "point of no return" prompt out of nowhere.

Still got plenty of side content to clear and if it's anything like the Witcher, "point of no return" could mean hours of more main questline (don't tell me though), but I am a bit bummed out. I haven't even maxed out 2 attributes yet at level 33.

Ah well. Gotta get more cans, cars and orange gear.

I slotted a legendary Deadeye Mod (15% Crit Chance, 30% Crit Dmg) into all my clothes' mod slots (17 slots in total) and my char screen says I got 23% Crit Chance and 154% Crit Damage.

Boooooooh!

When I came across a side gig where I was supposed to off an Animals dude in a gym, I remembered reading about how these kinds of missions were supposed to have almost Hitman-like approaches to accomplish them.

Hack his bench press machine to crush him or put his robo sparring partner into overdrive and basically have it knock his head off etc.

No idea. I have cleared the stock of most clothing vendors and put it in my stash for playing dress-up, squirreled away pretty much every weapon upgraded to legendary and glitched into 6k+ of each crafting material. Purchased all cars as well and my savegame file is at 6.05 MB.

Late Peralez gig question:

I told Jefferson about the brainwashing, convinced him to lay low and wait until "they" show their hand, later got a message from him and when I replied I just got a "unknown user" message. Haven't heard a peep back. I can't enter their luxury apartment block to check on them (they need to buzz me in).

Is this the end? "They" got to them? Is there a way to save them?
