Yes, I should caveat that I was one of those rabid followers of this game ever since it was announced, so if I sound like I’m jumping on a sword here, its mostly me coming to terms with disappointment.

3837

As I understand it, RAM is a resource and it depletes when you use. I only just invested a point into a passive that allows it to recharge (albeit slowly, 1 point per 15 seconds) during combat, but I have another point in a perk that restores a point of RAM if I drop an enemy while it’s breached.

I think this describes The Witcher 3 as well. If you look behind the curtain too much, you realize you’re just clicking through dialogue options and watching the characters act everything out. It’s better to stay under the spell, but it sounds like you’re too far gone with this one.

My dude is pretty specialized in intelligence and tech, but I disagree with that idea that you should hyper specialize in one stat.

The thing is, aside from the skills, the stats themselves allow you to do tons of stuff. Like, I found that having my body skill up to 6 lets me use light machine guns, and hijack most cars… being able to hijack cars is extremely useful.

Tech lets you unlock doors. Also super useful.

I’m 15 hours in and totally having a blast with the game. I haven’t had any crashes or bugs that required reboot. The most annoying bug I’ve hit is not being able to pick up all the junk on the ground. I hit a couple graphic glitches (looking in the mirror, etc) but nothing game-breaking that wasn’t easily ignored for a game that was just released.

The melee and driving could be tweaked as those feel a little clunky to me. On the plus side, there is a ton of stuff to do and lots of side missions to distract from the main quest line. For me, the immersion is amazing. I feel bad for the folks who are disappointed in the game. I haven’t been following this game closely and only decided to buy it about 6 hours before it was released so maybe my expectations were not as high as others.

3842

Yeah I’m extremely early into the game but I’m skeptical about the need to hyperspecialize. I’ll focus on hacking for now anyway since it seems kind of tacked on at early levels. It’s one of the unique parts of the gameplay so I want to see what it offers.

3843

I played 4 hours yesterday/last night. I think I completed 2 missions and 1 job. I mostly just wandered around taking in the sites, listening to random conversations. It’s almost scary how realized the world is. Nothing seems randomized and yet it has to be right? I went down random “throw away” alleys and they seem to be crafted with as much care as a critical story location. So many little touches. Some random teenager was hiding under stairs in of these alleys on a laptop. I zoomed in on it and he was hacking some global GPS network looking at map coordinates. In another a couple came out of club or bar maybe and she was not looking good. She staggered stopped and bent over. When I looked at her, she looked up and slurred at me “no, no I’m all good” He laughed and said maybe they had too much fun and they stumbled off with her holding him up. Everyone seems to react to you even if it is just a well timed sideways look. No loading screens with this going on everywhere. It is amazing!

God the subreddit is fucking useless. Can’t ask a simple question over there…

Is there any extra digital content in the CE that the regular digital copy didn’t get?

Sorry, this post has been removed by the moderators of r/cyberpunkgame.

I bought the game on XBL and Steam so I’ve been playing since launch but my CE just showed up and I want to sell off the disk to make a few bucks back. I don’t want to break open the seal if I don’t have to, but I don’t want to miss any goodies that are redeemed via code if there is a slip in there too that nabs me stuff I don’t already have…

3845

What does the Slots mean?
Also, the buffer, it is never explained. How does that work?

3846

Hacking/Breaching needs a much better tutorial. The in-game one doesn’t fully explain all the bits.

3847

Its not really explained at all. Terrible job at it, I’m hunting online today for proer guides o nit.

3848

When do you take a break to from the main story? IE In skyrim, after you return the grey beards horn, that is a good time to ignore the main story? I tried doing some side quests when I left my apartment, and but I think they were telling me to wait until the lock down ended.

Also my side quest log keeps getting stuff added to it like crazy.

3849

Ok, here’s how it works.
Slots are how many quickhacks you can have equipped at the same time. Kind of like a number of spells you have memorized.

Buffer size is the number of empty slots that you can put hex codes into, during the hacking minigame. The reason this is important, is that if you have more, it makes it easier to hit all of the codes during the hack, rather than just one or two.

Having higher buffers is important because sometimes, it’s not possible to hit all of those codes in one sequence of 4 moves. Sometimes you can , where the 3 codes are elements of each other. However, sometimes you can’t so you need to have “filler” moves in the middle of the chain. Having a bigger buffer enables this.

Finally, the ram is just the number of ram points, which are essentially the points you use to “cast” quickhacks.

3850

I am guessing I experienced a bug, because it showed the ram as blue, not red. I did pick up that perk though, but after the fact. I have not gotten in a situation yet where I have been able to quick hack something. Its odd you can’t hack vending machines for free snacks.

3851

Ok, so you do not need to get numbers in sequence, you can get them in any order as long as they are in your buffer, right?

As for slots, I guess I have not gotten far enough to be able to pick quick hacks yet. I do not even know where to go to pick quick hacks to ‘equip’.

I am only about 2.5 hours into the game, still following the main quest.

3852

You can absolutely hack snack machines. First thing I did after orgin tutorial was make one spit out a giant burrito. I was hungry…shrug.

3853

What you need to do, is get the numbers in sequence for each individual “hack” in the list, if you want them.

So, for instance, imagine you have the following hacks available:
Hack1: BB E9
Hack2: E9 1C BB
Hack3: FF 1C BB E9

To get 1 in there, it just means that your buffer needs to have “BB E9” in it somewhere, in that order. Same goes for the others. And they can be combined. If you had E9 1C BB E9 in there, it would give you both the first and the second hacks.

3854

Hmm. I can only hack them to distract enemies’. If I use them, It charges me credits and then gives me the food. Are you sure that is what happened? Or maybe its not a quick hack that does it?

3855

Ok, thanks. That clears it up a bit.
