ymgve posted:Note that FEAR was at heart a corridor shooter, so every encounter had a lot less parameters that could vary than an open world game with multiple routes. I don't remember, did enemies in DXHR have AI on that level? I brought up FEAR earlier too. It's of course a corridor shooter but honestly all the fights here are also carefully set up set pieces too. You go to the animal warehouse and shoot it up. You go into that cave and shoot everyone inside. Etc etc., there aren't really any massive rolling hoping battles taking place in the city.

Starks posted:They didn’t. The person who originally reported that even said it could be a coincidence (and her claims were not verified elsewhere afaik). It was a generic sequence of flashing lights, I have a flashlight that does that too. It’s pretty funny how quickly people believe “CDPR was intentionally trying to cause seizures” lol

Any faults I have with this game I can forgive because the aethestic is very on point. The cars in particular I was very excited about, all the interiors are lovely. Love me some 80's retro-futurism.

There’s no reason to believe they “went to a doctor to get the test done” and again the article doesn’t even claim that. the prepatched sequence was painful. you aren't getting paid by CDPR, simmer down

Actually the only reason this game is bad is because CDPR broke down and caved into Big Epilepsy and removed the flashing lights sequence.

AHH F/UGH posted:Contagion is loving awesome and kind of busted. This game is so god drat good. Ok, why? It does so little damage, even if it does hit everyone. Overheat is at least a near guaranteed kill, although now that I have spreading Ultimate Hacks I can just lean on those for a truly guaranteed kill (or 4).

I've also complained about plenty of things in this game, maybe go back to reddit if you're gonna post like this. I've seen plenty of moments in video games where obnoxious lights made me look away from the screen, this was not one of them, personally.

I've had this happen before, no cool downs running, nothing, just a guy who can't be hacked at all has a deck that's blocking those kind of hacks.

The only place that has broken my immersion so far is the dump. The 3D trash floats a few feet above the ground, so be careful not to fall through! I'm the Trash Man!  I know that guy!  Game is so pretty... Missionary Positron posted:The sidequest involving the monk who was mutilated by a bunch of maelstroms got me good. I just felt a sort of visceral disgust at what happened to him I've actually found that a lot of the gigs and even NCPD missions have a lot of story- and world-building. I remember a random one where a Fixer called me about some tech she was trying to buy. If you just follow the quest markers, you go from A to B to C and quest done. But if you dig into the computers and data shards you can learn that she tried to play the gang against the fixer and the gang killed her for it and stole the tech and why. Even some of the Police Scanners I've been able to save the NPC who then has some little spiel about what happened and where they are going. The Vigilante Cop from Kabuki has been mentioned, but most people will never go back and see the ending. I think a lot of people who are complaining that the content is shallow or the writing isn't as deep as they were expecting just aren't finding the right content because the game really doesn't hold your hand and lead you through it (except on the main questline, which may be part of the confusion).

This game is such a 50/50 split of good and bad qualities. For every moment that pulls me in there's something that pulls me out due to poor design or flat/bad writing or the feeling that this incredibly dense location means nothing because my tools as a player (and the ability for the game to notice them) are so limited. I'm not even counting the bugginess because I figure that will be resolved in time. Thankfully almost every valid complaint I've seen in here has been expertly countered by: - "The AI shouldn't be better because this isn't real life" - "I'm playing Cyberpunk, not an imaginary miracle game I came up with in my head" - "Maybe that's a flaw but how much does it matter this game's so big" - "If you thought it would be better it's your fault, not the marketing or """"Game$$$ Journali$t$"""" (see what I did with those quotes because they aren't journalists and they are paid big sacks of cash???)" - "Anyone that doesn't like this probably was probably expecting it to be a very specific thing that I'm making up now, as opposed to the very specific thing that lets me decide all the parts that work are what matter and all the parts that don't work are incidental"

Okay so the game is huge enough I may have just never found a follow up it but (very early spoilers) if you save Brick from the claymore trap in the Maelstrom place during the Flathead mission he says he owes you one and will pay ya back later. Where and when is later?

Loot everything and go to clothing stores. Don't worry about it too much until you start seeing clothing with mod slots. It's basically all cosmetic before then, it seems to me. Grouchio posted:I still haven't gotten an answer regarding 'How Mod Friendly is this Game?' There are already some mods on Nexus, but in general CDPR's mod community tends to be more GUI fixes and gameplay tweaks rather than outright content ala Bethesda.

Those seem to all be those cyan "box" quests - they all lead to a stash somewhere else in the city. The shards organization is really bad, there is no rhyme and reason to what category a shard would go in, and no clear separation between non-quest and quest related shards. One of the categories is just blank too, for some reason.
