"Cyberpunk 2077" (New DLC "Phantom Liberty" | (9/26)

The race questline is hilarious, especially when you realize that even if you're completely dusting the field, they'll sometimes treat them like cops and just teleport a few to your location.

The problem with me for melee is that the feedback felt off. Hits didn't feel weighty or impactful enough. And somehow the countering window feels too generous and too tight at the same time.

Yep you can literally see them teleport in right behind you on the mini map.
There are so many cut corners in this game it's crazy.

Why I don't like melee combat
Way too few animations - pretty much just a single 3 punch combo and a loaded up power punch. They should have added Doom 2016 style finishers (although not as gory obviously) here, it would've made it feel much more satisfying
The feedback on enemy hits is terrible - It's literally just rumble. The visual/audio feedback is complete trash on enemy hits and if it wasn't for the rumble and my health dropping I wouldn't even know I was getting hit half the time I am
Bad hit boxes - enemies hitting from 2 miles away while I'm dashing

The race questline is so garbage it was dope that the tracks were laid out that way and all but everything from the writing to the stupid leaning out the window shooting at nothing was jokes

I beat every gig, every quest, every side-quest, every ncpd scanner hustle, got to level 50, level 50 legendary guns, legendary cyberware. All that is left is to beat the ending the different ways, which I'll do tomorrow.

I like this game a lot. I think it's comparable to Fallout 4. Fallout 4 was a bit of a let down following Fallout 3 and NV, but it was still a good game. Likewise, Cyberpunk 2077 is a bit of a letdown following the Witcher 3, but it is still a good game.

I look forward to the DLC

Agreed. The balance is all over the place.

But to answer your question about going Cold Blood early on, I did it, and you couldn't be more correct about choices altering play experience drastically early on. Depending on the encounter, it didn't really matter if I was under leveled or not, since I was hitting like a mack truck if I could line a headshot up. But if they're not going to include full respec options, they really should consider moving a perk like that further down the tree, and moving some of the other critical ones up just to balance things out.

I've seen respec at a ripperdoc for like 100k eddies. Does it not actually respec?

I noticed that shyt too

The rubberbanding is atrocious.

It seemed obvious that driving and vehicles were supposed to be a big feature and focus in this game and they just didnt have enough time.

As is though it just is a good way to have variety in the gameplay. Same with braindance editing, which I don't hate but I don't particularly like either.

Finally got to the final mission, now I'm doing all the rest of the side shyt. For a game as buggy as this is, I'm really enjoying it.

Some deviant in here did.....

Im a Nomad but Gotdamn even I have limit to the savageness

 

[Adeptus Astartes]

Yeah. I'm gonna start a second playthrough after I wrap up my first, and I seriously don't know how I won't spec into Intelligence and Cool.

Even if you don't plan on using quickhacks, breach protocol is the easiest of money. Just via hacking, I was able to pay Vik back before Act One was over. The only time I've dipped under 300K eddies since maybe the middle of Act Two was when I decided I was going to empty out vendors of epic and legendary item components.......to craft new versions of iconic gear so they were on level. Not to mention the debuffs you can hit enemies with, and automatically flipping turrets to your side and whatnot.

Even if you don't want to do ANY stealth, Cool is still worth it for the increased crit damage and resistances you get with each level of it. Not to mention the tons of benefits that Cold Blood provides. shyt really provides everything from resistances to increased damage, to extra armor, to attack speed......it's too powerful of a skill tree to ignore, regardless of how you play.

I left Cool alone completely. Kept it at 3. Roleplayed as a techy Nomad, kind of like a spellsword. I was disappointed until I got more tech weapons and realized how powerful Engineering was. Next playthrough, I'm going with a stealthy corpro with heavy Intelligence and Cool

After that mission, you see ads for the BD around the city. Good touch.
