I can deal with the bugs etc for various reasons during development - but a couple of things that I find seriously unpleasant: a shit-ton of drinks that pretty much all do the same thing, yet fill up your inventory like crazy - and a shit-ton of shards which I constantly collect but never read.

The shards really baffle me man..why so many!??!?

I don't mind the shards because they are just there to read if you want to get more lore on the world or whatever and if not you can just ignore them.

The drinks though. In 30+ hours I don't think I've drunk one other than to get it out of my inventory. They're just clutter to me.

This game is not GTA and it’s doing a totally different thing. The shooting in every GTA is shit compared to this.

And? The police are basically useless in this game, go around the block and they've lost you, they don't chase

 

[HotPocket69]

Just heads up to everyone, I’ve got possible quest bugs that I hope fix themselves with the coming patches:

I went to City Center way earlier than I should’ve and completed everything aside from all the car purchases. Two gigs from Dino are still active even though I did complete the main objective in each. I’m not sure if they’re broken or continue on later or what, so be wary. The quests are:

An Inconvenient Killer
The Frolics Of Councilwoman Cole

 

[MadYarpen]

there - can you check it out"

I'll divide the side quests, or Gigs, into two.

2) Street Cred Dependent Gigs:

The higher your street cred, the more into the story and met with certain new characters, the more you receive these more well tailored side quests that lead you on some wild sequences in the game.

Some of the best, and exciting, missions are found in these ones.

Simply put it, you need to keep playing and raise your street cred and overtime more and more of these are unlocked.

And even though they're separate stories on their own, they actually do have a role in how your main story plays out.

Hope that helps?

It does help - but do I get those by phone, or do I have to find them?
Because I am starting to get tired by driving around from marker to marker just to find out it is another cyberpsycho to kill.


By the way, this is awesome:

The police are terrible and need to be improved but they're generally irrelevant in Cyberpunk. You can probably play through the whole game without getting their attention without even trying to avoid them. It's not GTA 2077. It's not an important mechanic to the game like it is in GTA, where it's integrated in to the missions and is part of this open world sandbox it wants you to mess around and cause havoc in.

It's just lore, world building. Skyrim has books, 2077 has shards. What's the problem, you don't have to read them and they don't take up inventory.

 

[zwiggelbig]

Oh man I'm just gonna say it.. I loved Death Stranding but.. Eveyln and Judy are both already more amazing characters then any character in death stranding

 

[mitchman]

Oh no I finished River's storyline! He's so cool but now we can't hang out anymore...

You can if you're female and romance him, afaik. At least his place becomes another home for you.

 

[Exentryk]

I’ll just collect them on my second play through

still looking for a decent shotgun in the game

I’ve gotten 1000 badass pistols that I dismantled and not a single decent shotgun

Smart shotguns are even better!

 

[HotPocket69]

Most characters are

It just seems like a lot of effort for something maybe 5% of the players are gonna make use of? I think I would read them if they were much less common. But it's overwhelming the amount you come across in every location.

Also, is there a way to shut up Delamain and his crappy missions. Bastard keeps ringing me and I am not interested.

I don't think so but they're all very short and surprisingly entertaining if you do one of them every now and then.

Unfortunately you can't shut him up until you do all his missions.

He was driving me insane as well so I just did all his missions and got it over with. It's a nice way to see parts of the map you maybe haven't been to, and the missions themselves are easy, short and quite... existential.

 

[SF Kosmo]

Got wrapped up in the story and got ahead of myself, ran into a mission I was way under-level for and holy shit. I did manage to cheese my way through eventually but damn. No cheap fallout level scaling here.

 

[KyoZz]

Am I the only one that think Maiko is Jessica Biel ?? Sorry it's the only screen I have rn, I'll edit later if I have a better one:

Idk maybe I'm crazy

 

[Keihart]

For people who completed the game at the hardest difficulty, is there a point in the game when the difficulty finally ramps up? like arriving in a particular zone in the game or something like that.

i'm pretty early on the game although i have like 40 hours clocked in, 5 stars enemies are almost impossible to take down in groups. I went from doing 1k damage to single digits and they can get out of stealth takedowns. There is obviously some lvl scaling going on to keep some areas gated. I still was able completed some red quests going the complete stealth route tho.

 

[zwiggelbig]

fuck.. just quit playing again because I ran into a bug where the screen just keeps going up up up.. the mouse movement keeps going up but im doing nothing..

 

[Starfield]

No rtx reflections for your character is on purpose because it tanked performance.

And yes the mirror is a bug

Oh NoEz oNlY 70% cOmpLeTe

are you a dev or something? lol

 

[Starfield]

going after Arasaka be like:

 

[killatopak]

A collision between a bike and a car and the car flies into the air lmao. Awesome physics.

 

[Starfield]

A collision between a bike and a car and the car flies into the air lmao. Awesome physics.

So far I never died in this game by crashing into objects. Went straight into a wall with 145mph on a motorbike, nothing. Not a single scratch.

Graphical:
- Jackie gun instead of shard in prologue cutscene

This was my first glitch as well and damn it was unfortunate given the nature of the cutscene and the fact I was giggling cause of the error.

 

[Black Chamber]

The soundtrack to this game is all sorts of awesome

To think that the expansions might add more radio stations is tantalizing

my girlfriend had the same bug on PS4. Was funny as hell.

 

[HotPocket69]

Comin in hot

 

[nightmare-slain]

shit. the in game map is too red and hard to read but looking at the piggyback one is much better.

i don't think i've actually left the top end of the map yet where Watson, Kabuki, Little China, Northside, and Waterfront are.

 

[nkarafo]

I haven't played the game yet but so far i gathered that it doesn't use a huge map like a Ubisoft or Rockstar open world. Instead it uses a denser, more vertical design. That's great IMO but i haven't heard much about how many interiors you can explore. IIRC, at some point the devs mentioned you will be able to explore a lot of them. Or was it unofficial? I don't remember.

Still, how good is this game compared to other open worlds where you can only enter, like, 15 buildings with nothing to do in half of them?

 

[PuppetMaster]

You could have just asked in the OT. Then I would have answered.

 

[Kacho]

There’s a ton of buildings and apartments to enter but it’s not like you can go into every door you see. You’ll see plenty of “door cannot be opened” in this. Still, it’s way better than most open world games.

 

[BigbyTheSheriff]

I'm in love with the photo mode. It's just so damn good.

 

[levyjl1988]

It seems realistic to lock doors to prevent strangers from entering.

 

[nkarafo]

Is it close to, say, Dying Light? I don't know if you have played that game but it also has a lot of verticallity (with a smaller map) and you could enter a lot of apartments (compared to something like GTA).

It seems realistic to lock doors to prevent strangers from entering.

Yeah but it would be fun smashing doors and loot whatever you can find. Or use lock-pics/hacks.

 

[AmateurPong]

Glitches aside, for me this game has delivered on every level so far. Completely in love with how it looks, they really nailed the theme. I can't stop playing.

 

[scalman]

and if you want real cyberpunk movie there is no other then Nirvana 1997

sand storm

I love the shards. LORE! But, yeah, I can see how they would get annoying.

Played around seven hours and just made it to the Afterlife. I'm not even doing any side-quests. The game is such a slow burn...

The two early braindance sections were lights out incredible.

Part 3 is coming soon

 

[RAIDEN1]

I'm waiting till the end of February to find out..

 

[FunkMiller]

Can you explore the mega buildings properly? Or is it very limited? Haven’t had time to do it as yet, if possible.

 

[Kacho]

I have played Dying Light but I don’t remember it well enough to compare the two. There’s a lot more buildings to enter compared to GTAV though.

 

[HotPocket69]

Looks like more of the OST and radio station songs are coming to Spotify in a few days

This shit is my shit. The chorus has been stuck in my head for days.

 

[Shizumapower]

Yes, to the point of getting lost. While doing a side mission at the Ho-Oh club, I got completely turned around and was asking how far does this rabbit hole go?

Plenty of exploration in this game.

Took down a small section of Tyger Claws... fell in the river and then spent 10 minutes exploring the underbelly of the city.

 

[IDKFA]

My dream open world game would be the sort of freedom where you can enter every door in sight. No more locked door bullshit. I want to enter every building I see.

 

[Hendrick's]

My dream open world game would be the sort of freedom where you can enter every door in sight. No more locked door bullshit. I want to enter every building I see.

The problem with that is the content would need to be procedurally generated, so it would not be very interesting.

Nah

There are way more interiors to enter in Dying Light, second map especially

AC Unity is still unmatched in this regard, imo.

Crazy to think how many interiors there are in Dying Light, how early in the gen it was released and how great it still looks.

Please dont fuck up Dying Light 2, Techland.

 

[-Arcadia-]

You could have just asked in the OT. Then I would have answered.

Honestly, it’s become such a big issue in open world games (the illusion of a city, versus ever actually being able to go indoors), that I’m glad to see the question separated out, where I would actually notice it.

 

[hemo memo]

My dream open world game would be the sort of freedom where you can enter every door in sight. No more locked door bullshit. I want to enter every building I see.

Witcher 3 was mostly this. Not every but a lot and the game is not set in an empty post apocalyptic world thankfully.

Agreed, but it would still add realism to the world. Particularly, in a GTA or something, it doesn’t have to be interesting content. You could rob a home, maybe run into an armed occupant, and your police stars would skyrocket.

...The things we do for fun in games, lol.
