Does anyone know how to use throwing knives? I have the perk, and I tried going by the perk description but I just can’t figure it out. Are they consumables that you have to slot in?

3677

A bit yeah, given how complete is all the settings, audio, controls, graphics…

From reading the review, it sounds more like a UI problem than a gating problem. There’s just so much available to the player, and no good way to filter it.

On the bright side, these UI issues sound very fixable, if they’re willing to do it.

Other things, like bad car physics, is probably not fixable though. It was the main reason I couldn’t get into Sleeping Dogs, the motorcycle physics were terrible in a game where you drive a motorcycle a lot. And in the first Watch Dogs, an open world game where you end up driving a lot.

Hopefully I won’t need to actually drive much in Night City.

I’m finding the driving pretty solid, but I am using a controller. I suppose if you’re using a KB then every time you’re trying to move forward you’re just mashing the gas, I could see that being a problem.

3680

Don’t have the game, definitely plan to get it, but looks like after 4 1/2 years, finally got to the point of needing to upgrade. Plan was to upgrade next summer and I’ll probably stick to that - I can just buy Cyberpunk with DLC at a discount then, and I have plenty of games in my backlog that I can play on my PC.

Yes, the training was no problem on very hard but that first mission I needed to reload ~5 times and ended up hacking the environment, NPCs, switching weapons, and pulling back. I don’t like having to head shot everyone 4-5 times honestly but will see how it develops.

The minimap is useless unless you are sunday driving - I would like more than a second of warning before I need to turn. The controls just feel off even with a controller let alone a KB&M.

I love how they tilted the advancement. I am playing on very hard because I want to have to explore most of the game to level up fully - I hate not having the leveling carrot while playing. But I understand players on normal probably do not want that at all.

So far I am completely entranced. Playing through as a street kid but the Nomad was my favorite start. Corpo my least favorite and that’s the one I was initially going to play through as.

Aw, my strategy guide was delayed to like the 23rd through the 2nd of Jan, somewhere in there. I can’t remember the last time I ordered a strategy guide for my collection and it actually arrived within a day or two of launch, seems like for the last few years it’s always a few weeks later, after I’m pretty much done with said game. Ah well, it’s really just for my bookshelf, I suppose. Then again, if I cancelled the order that’s extra money in my pocket…

double tap Y

3684

That… sounds awesome. I was worried this would be clogged with half-assed combat.

3685

I’m using a controller. I think the driving physics are just bad. The cars feel like they’re floating unless they’re actively skidding around a turn where they feel like lumbering tanks.

3686

By the way, as Paul said, I did confirm I was right the first time - double tap ALT on the keyboard, not single. Single only works if you only have one weapon equipped, once you have a few ALT single tap seems to cycle between them.

3687

Hmm, mine still says delivery will be today.

3688

Same here. Ordered it back in August - don’t know if that makes a difference.

Also says ‘out for delivery’, but I’ve been burned by that before.

3689

I plan on playing a stealth hacker. Which is better? 4 in int and 3 in cool, or the other way around?

3690

I think I wish the quick hacks were linked to directional buttons . Holding down the trigger and trying to fumble through a list isn’t quite working right now.

Kind of like assigning them to directional buttons to fire them off on the fly - like Mass Effect?

3691

Are we supposed to wait for the light to change like everyone else? Cause there are a lot of lights.

Short vid I uploaded with RT on…

It’s really super atmospheric…now if only the RT wasn’t so demanding

3693

Purely anecdotal, but almost everyone I know who was excited for the game pre-ordered on GOG (which will still be considerably less than Steam), but it’s no doubt doing extremely well on every platform.

Also, with Steam’s new revenue split policy, once you cross over $50 million rev threshold, Steam’s cut drops down to 20%.

3694

I actually don’t mind the driving at all, but maybe I just haven’t done a ton of it yet? It felt very GTA ish while driving around the city.

I think that the way I would describe this game to someone, is that this is Deus Ex, but in a GTA-esque open world, with the kind of content density that we saw in Witcher 3.
