Frog Act posted:So far I've done like a dozen of the police quests with no discernible effect other than eddies flowing into my account. the police don't acknowledge you, the other gang members don't acknowledge you, the public doesn't acknowledge you, nobody seems to be aware that i've singlehandedly murdered like 150 gang members in the neighborhood over the course of a day. If you are talking about clearing up those Assaults and Robberies, are you making sure you collect all the evidence by looting a bag or container after? It doesn’t count as finished until everything is fully looted

Bold Robot posted:Does the player avatar look weirdly blurry in menus and for anyone else? The graphics look great for me overall, running it on a 3080 with everything maxed and film grain etc. turned off. But when I'm in the inventory screen, and also when I'm at a mirror, V looks blurry. Turning off DLSS helps a lot to make V look better pretty much anywhere (for me on a 3090). Character creation, mirrors, and photo mode (edit: also inventory ofc) are where I've seen improvement.

User0015 posted:This is me. I'm pretty sure you can use Ctrl to Stealth in addition to C. Does Ctrl also skip cutscenes? My "biggest minor gripe" is that sometimes it shows the F key with a down arrow, and other times it just says like "[F] (Hold)"  And I assume the "1-3 instead of full number row" is probably just "because consoles" jank, sadly.

What’s the best way to level athletics? The only time I saw myself gain exp in it was when I was jumping around on a building, should I morrowind style leap around a bit when I’m going places? Also is it reasonable to take all base stats to five? For instance, I don’t intend to invest in technical ability much, but I’d love to be able to craft better grenades - would having 5 TA allow me to use recipes even if I don’t invest more than 1-2 points in the crafting tree (just enough for the crafting rares ability, I guess?). Or am I already gonna spread myself too thin putting 1-2 points in tech/cold blood/quickhacking/crafting while focusing on handguns and assault? Also it’s interesting precision rifles are under annihilation, they seem to be better than sniper rifles for sniping, at least in the early game, so it presents a bit of a conundrum skill wise. You can only max 2.5 trees right? So with my random skill investments I’ll probably be able to only max handguns and either assault or annihilation, I suppose, and I’m having a tough time deciding which way to go

Twitter is way too toxic right now and reddit is a total dump even in the best of times. Yeah I just wanted to tell you I've spent 13 hours still in the prologue just wandering the small district doing gigs and exploring. I've had one graphical bug this entire time. Team did a hell of a job, and outside of one friend that tried playing on PS5 every person I know personally playing it is loving it. Game is good and a hell of an accomplishment.

For example, I would like to see hundreds of nipple configurations. TIA

I don't think I have the refined vision to truly appreciate this game if the internet is to be believed, but the ps4 pro is works great for me. Does this game deserve its own thread to separate game discussions from technical discussions yet? This game is pretty amazing. Is there any advice on stat investing? If i don't want any of the perks for my build, it investing in the stat associated with it wasted ie: points in body with no body perks. Is there new game+?

I forgot to ask, what’s the best use of hacking and how does the mini game work? How can I use hacking to my advantage? I don’t find it useful beyond using breach to induce mass vulnerability on everyone. Or hacking access points for money. By the way if you use the auto-scrap junk skill you miss out on 750 ED or more in potential junk sales.

It overlaps with stealth real well, hacking cameras & turrets and hacking people through cameras. e: The big thing is getting the cheap perk that lets you regenerate RAM in combat, otherwise it's almost useless.

Phenotype posted:I apologize for adding to what's probably a ton of white noise PC questions, but how's performance on a 1080 Ti? Gonna jump into this in a little bit, although I'm a little bummed that this is probably the first game I play that I won't be able to run at Ultra settings on 4K. Or even turn all the RTX features on! Running on a 1080 non TI it's not too bad the game defaulted to ultra and (obvs no RTX) will probably turn it down though as I want a few more FPS.

All of your Attributes give some sort of Passive effect, so it's not wasted if you find that passive effect relevant to your play style even if you don't care for the Perks in the tree.

It was literally designed from the ground up to work better with controllers like every other game in the past decade unfortunately. Sucks that you can't remap keys without editing config files.

Kraftwerk posted:So I have some general gameplay questions I could use some help with. I'm not very far into the story yet so I can't answer all of your questions, but here's my take on em. 1. Stealth pairs really well with hacking, even if you don't spec into an int/hacking build. Hack vending machines, tvs, or whatever to get enemies to look the opposite direction or use the quickhacks whistle and call for help to position enemies where you want em then get in there and stealth KO them. 2. Non-lethal vs lethal only seems to matter for certain missions. I'm playing cold blooded ex-corp so I kill everyone. Even when I knock people out, I go back around the room afterwards and put a bullet in their head. No one has objected to methods yet, except if I accidentally kill someone that I was supposed to leave alive for a mission. 4. The melee weapon vendor outside your apartment sells katanas and they can drop from enemies. Seems like Tiger gang has them mostly. A lot of the better guns seem like they are actually just the same version of gun, just with better stats. There is some variety, but not a lot early game. 5. There are clothing shops and stuff. Getting your street cred up unlocks more clothing and gear options in the stores. I think the Stats page has a list of bonuses for street cred and they mostly revolve around getting vendors to stock better poo poo. I haven't gone too far into regular crafting, but you can keep finding new stuff to replace your gear. Upgrading is pretty expensive if your are packing legendary gear since you don't find a ton of it to salvage for legendary upgrade components. As far as armor goes, like 2/3rds of my armor comes from a legendary subdermal implant and all of my gear is slotted with crit strike chance. I'm playing on hard difficulty and it gives me enough of a cushion that I can take a few blows and med.

I'm still enjoying it even if it's a wonky mess more often then not. It also does a lot of things very good. I personally think the new dialogue system is a great idea and a good alternative to the cutscene dialogues of every other game. Sound design and music is perfect. They've managed to not do the overused cliché bass (think theres even a term for what I mean) sounds like Battlefield and other did over and over again but gave weapons clear sounds too so there is actually the impression of physical interaction from it without sounding cheap (contrary to most weapons actual behevior though  ) For a lot of bad ideas there also is a good one in the game. I'm hoping that hacking will become more fun later on and doesn't only end in "more damage" or disabling things. This was the single reason why Watch Dogs 2 was fun, because turning gangs against cops was an option.

Giant Bomb's coverage just strikes me as dickheads who don't care about the game fishing for bugs for the lols Like a lot of heavily critical reviews (for a game that's averaging 91 on Metacritic, anyway) were what I consider good reviews because they were clear about what they thought was good or bad about it. My experience has been better than theirs but I see where they were coming from & why. Giant Bomb just seem like some lazy jerkoffs to me.

It's for the most part lawless and free of anything resembling empathy, and compassion. The few story characters that show it get royally hosed, among some other story points that I won't go into. thunderspanks posted:I've noticed most (if not all?) crime in progress locations will have the civilians get executed after x amount of time if you don't kill the enemies first.
