If you run away fast enough cops aren’t too bad.

4018

The fact that walking up to random gang members in full view of civilians and murdering them with your murder claws is not only 100% acceptable but actually gets rewarded by the police with a wireless monetary transfer (even if they aren’t part of an event, just have the WANTED tag) is hilarious to me. But what’s even more hilarious is that if you actually do it in front of a cop, the cop will open fire on you for the same thing that would be financially rewarded if you were around the corner. Hrm.

4019

Whenever that happens to me it’s because a civilian was injured or killed, which spawns cops.

Or just drive away since they don’t know how to drive

Well,I am enjoying my time in the game. The rpg itself is fun, and reminiscent of Witcher 3 in that its a single player, linear adventure game. The open world itself is…well, its no Skyrim ,thats for sure. Every place is just as well to be as any other and there is no real storytelling through the world. Its a big empty world that looks great, but more or less the same no matter where you are. It does have encounters plopped down throughout the game, and I enjoy those, but - There is no reason why there are where they are, no environmental storytelling, other than through the endless datapads, that I long ago stopped reading.

I feel really sad that THIS is what we got. It still a good game, but man - Cyberpunk lends itself to so much more!

Does progressing through the story lock you out of side quests? I had been working my way to the heist, but now my attention for a bit.

4023

I’m not seeing that at all. Just killed a pschokiller in the Badlands that was completely tied into the location and plot.

4024

Yikes.

Sounds like something they can at least address though.

4025

Civil arrest is only legal if theres no cops around. In my head-canon.

4026

This really is the only weakness, other than the glitches. The non quest related npc’s are entirely mindless. When you do talk to them, most of the time they react in ways that is worse than no reaction, like just screaming curse words at you.

However, the actual npc’s related to the missions tend to be extremely well done.

Also, the double jump leg upgrades are probably the best thing in the game.

4027

If the gangers are crimin’ in front of the cops, maybe those cops have been bought already? That would explain them shooting at you immediately for messing with the gang.

4028

I disagree. I came across a scenario where I pieced together what happened based on the bodies lying around. Now could there be more? Sure. But really it’s fairly on par with Skyrim, it’s just that city is so massive the odds of stumbling into those scenarios is smaller, especially if you’re fast travelling or roar past them at 60 mph.

4029

Exactly, I don’t get these complaints at all.

You can sort of see the arguably soulless city as a metaphor for the dystopian future metropolis, as well. The only places that are alive are those that are colonized by gangs or other groups with very strong internal identities. The city itself is a rotting corpse.

My experience with cops is that they will not shoot you for shooting bad guys, but only if they or a civvy gets hit by something. I’ve joined in firefights between cops and gangers and fought side by side with them, no issue. But one shotgun pellet hits Pepe the drink vendor, and oops, it’s Armageddon time.

I love how, in 2077, in a world with super-advanced cybertech, where you can mess with minds at a god-like level, interrogations of suspects (in a certain story moment, you’ll know it if you’ve been there) is still a matter of “who do you work for?” followed by a slap across the face. Well, until they bring in the Soulkiller at least.

I am not a fan of the inventory system/UI. You seem to have to equip a weapon to mod it, rather than modding from the backpack? Also, it is damned hard to manage that backpack, as it all ends up being very visually busy, and so many guns look exactly the same except for small details in the fine print. Minor crap, though. Game is ballin’, chooms.

Um, what the hell does “choom” mean, anyhow? Something like “compadre,” or “homie?”

4031

Sooo… anyone else has this bug?
Every time I reboot the game (which is after every blue screen-crash, which is app. every second or third cutscene), or if I save and quit, all the settings are reset to default.
Every time I start up the game, I have ro turn on HDR, fix camera settings, and so on.

4032

Uh, no… I’ve only had one crash in over 40 hours.

(My other crashes were directly caused by my retarded 3080 and I fortunately got a handle on that.)

4033

I always just read “choom” as a variant of “chum” or friend.

4034

The slang is very similar to the cyberpunk 2020 one it evolves from.

Guess choom is the lazy version of Choomba:

  • Chombatta (Choomba): Neo-Afro-American slang for a friend or a family member.
4035

I helped some cops out in a shootout (one of those blue skull missions) and it went fine, even with the last cop standing thanking me for helping out, right up until I mistakenly looted a cops body, then all hell broke loose…

PSA: Smart weapons are good. That is all.
