Loving the worldbuilding in this but holy poo poo is the gameplay chunky, especially after playing Destiny 2. Also it's like they played the game with both a controller and a kb/m because neither has a thought-out system and even the menu has both types of streamlining.

Is there a way to access different grenade types during combat without going into the menu?

You’ve already said it’s a mediocre shooter, that’s basically the whole game. What else even is there? The driving is absolutely atrocious and the stealth really isn’t that interesting.

This is a real weird take.

Neat mission detail spoiler:

They got the original Portal sound files for the Coastview rogue AI car quest.

I found it a very nice surprise.

Is something wrong with the update on Steam? Was working this morning.

It says "update paused" and when I "resume" it just immediately goes to "update paused" again after not doing anything. Restarted multiple times.

Are there side activities in this game are is every single mission shooting people based. Can you do side stuff like Yakuza, Witcher, and Red Dead?

There's also a reference to The Office in a mission you pickup from Afterlife. This game likes making references but they aren't subtle.

For some reason I've been having trouble finding "proper" side missions instead of just it always being Regina going "okay these are some bad motherfuckers and you need to kill them all"

I've done a bit of main story missions after the prologue and that's when it really opened up for me, there's a bunch of side characters that are story related but will give you a bunch of side missions after a while. Then there's ones from the fixers such as the old Japanese lady, and some random calls that might be triggered by street cred. There's at least one high profile side mission that I got because of my rep, AFAIK.

Play a bit more of the story and the side missions get meatier is my experience.

Joytoy in Lizzie's seems to be a questgiver or something and just spoke at length about woes with her pimp, but there's not much I can do about it

Joytoys are just generic NPCs, the magnifying glass symbol just means you can talk/scan something for quest or flavor info.

Thank you, this explains a ton. In that case I haven't actually ran into any breaking bugs, just CTD's when I had the game running in true fullscreen and was constantly alt-tabbing

6 hours in, and I will need some more hours to even get accustomed to the graphical quality. The environmental art, the layered design, the incredible quality of lightning, the materials, the good antialiasing, the everything. It's like years later, the devs from the engine team were still hurt of the downgrade accusations from the times of the Witcher 3 E3 trailers, so finally they were able to get their particular redemption. Not only this time it looks as good as the first trailers... it actually looks better.
It's also solid in things like very stable frametimes without no micro stutter, very quick loads, no loading times in the game, and instantaneous (less than 0.1 secs?) save.


A random screenshot I did. Imgur is destroying the quality, though.

Excuse for a second playthrough I guess! Also, is it true that since I hacked Meredith's credit chip for what turned out to be no good reason and blasted Royce in the face that I am cut out of further Meredith side quests? Not complaining, thems the breaks in this kind of game, just curious

Why are there no forced/foreign language only subs?! I thought there must be some sort of universal translator cyberware I was missing but nope, just sat through an entire loving scene in Japanese and had no idea what was being talked about because I don't want subtitles on all the time.

Am I really in such a small minority of people who plays games without subtitles that nobody at CDPR thought of this?

Absolutely drives me nuts too. Movies do the same a lot of the time; no subs on, because why would I, then there's a scene in a foreign language without hardcoded subs so I have to rewind and turn them on. Netflix, amazon, etc, all work like this.
The reasoning is the movie wouldn't know what language you would want the subs hardcoded in. Used to be region based - like if you bought a DVD in the north american region, pretty safe bet the subs could be hardcoded in english and it would be good. That approach doesn't really work nowadays.
What games SHOULD do is trigger english subs for foreign language scenes, unless you've picked a different language for your subs or voices, then they trigger subs in that language.
But I dunno, I'm not a dev.

This game is pretty amazing so far. I am about 8 hours in and I have no major complaints. This is exactly what I wanted this game to be.

Of course there are a few tech issues to fix up but nothing has broken the game for me. The errors I'm mostly annoyed at are the spelling errors. "Denoted the bomb" and stuff like that.

I'm trying to figure out - was the launch day patch 1.02 or 1.03? I'm curious if 1.04 has any of the performance stuff they'd mentioned before, as the official patch notes for 1.04 don't mention any (for PC)

1.03 was launch I believe, and the things they've mentioned are coming later, this seems to be the update to stop causing seizures in people who are prone to them, plus whatever else they had ready at the time.

Please be excited.



So are you actually supposed to be able to play non-lethally? Because it sure doesn't seem like that after some of the early missions. On the other hand, a questgiver just congratulated me for taking out a Cyberpsycho or whatever they're called without killing them - despite me unloading forty shotgun shells into their head.

Also, do we know what the percentage tracker on the main menu is? Am I 10% through the main story, all missions or full completion? :shrug:

How the hell did you manage to get thst much money? After 23 hours Ive earned like 50k more or less, that's enough for maybe 3 or 4 cars. Can't seem to find something really profitable.
