The combat encounters (blue bats or NCPD badge) are repetitive with it always being a group of mobs surrounding a hostage or body. I can’t help but feel they could have put more work into these rather than copy pasting them all over the map. There are no repercussions for killing the hostage along with the enemies.
MaxTac in general is an underdeveloped thread for sure. They highlight them in the drive with Jackie after the first mission with him, and you start thinking, cool, I’ll have to avoid these guys or maybe I’ll get into an epic fight with them, or something. But, nope. They pretty much don’t appear in the game as anything you can really interact with, sadly enough.
If they can pull off the revamp that is rumored over the next few months, maybe we’ll see more of them.

3 useless perks I noticed in the trees:
Undetectable in water
Throwing knives
Something that affects taking a hostage which you can’t even do in again outside of old trailer
That teaser didn’t have any “promise” in it. Its entire purpose was just to show the vibe and possible atmosphere of the game.
Now the actual criticism you have in that post is valid, this stuff could have used more work.
But…it is difficult for me to complain too much, knowing how much work there has actually been put into this game in all of its mainjobs and sidejobs and design of the city and gameplay design, knowing it was made in 4 years, by studio that never made first person game with shooting or stealth in it. No game can be perfect and fulfill all of our dreams and desires.
So for me, it was just a fun encounter, because I didn’t actually expect to meet that lady and it happened kinda out of the blue. And I didn’t expect being able to join MaxTac, and have no interest in killing civilians.
The leak supposedly from a CDP dev about future plans mentioned a lot of cut content that included underwater stuff, and the skill probably went with that. Throwing knives, man, what a horrible implementation. Either they had a throwing knife/shuriken ammo type and ditched it, or someone was drinking too much because the idea of tossing your equipped melee weapon–and having to invest skill points to do so–is whack.

PS I wish I had the option to murder everyone to save Branden

Can I get some thoughts on whose voice male V’s voice reminds you all of? This is driving me nuts.

Master Chief from Halo miniseries Forward Unto Dawn.
Be realistic Paul, if the studio’s name was literally anything other than CDPR your posts would have a very different tone.
I enjoyed Valhalla that I played just before C77. I enjoyed C77 significantly more though, regardless of name on the box. It is what it is.
As I said, I am still disappointed with CDP’s leadership for pushing the game too early. I am not disappointed with CDP’s developers for making a great game despite that.
Judging the timing, “gameplay reasons” translates to “it was too buggy and unfixable with our current schedule”. Which given what I’ve heard of the game (waiting to play it till I get a new PC in a year or two) was probably quite something.

Only ever gotten one “CP2077 has flatlined” crash and finally got 1-2 graphical glitches. The first with the car texture appearing low and loading in during the montage and this on PC. Does this happen all the time on consoles?

playing on base ps4, I’ve never seen this happen during my playthrough, and I’m in the final missions of the game. I’ve seen pop-in textures, I’ve had crashes galore – especially in the more crowded areas of the city – I’ve had repeating NPCs walking by, but I’ve never had the no-face bug.
Also, anywhere in the Badlands is absolutely gorgeous for me.

It’s never happened on my XSX.
Yes, happened on my PC a few times. It’s strange, you get these isolated textures that don’t load or are blurry, surrounded by stuff that is crystal-clear. Nothing too extraordinary, but odd.
Yeah, it’s happened once or twice to me on PC. Very quickly, like a couple of seconds. Once during the montage bit and once just as I loaded a save. From what I’ve seen it happens a lot more frequently and can last a lot longer on consoles.
Never had this happen on PC, but what did piss me off were directions billboard textures loading too slowly when driving, so instead of seeing e.g. WATSON I just saw a smudge from time to time.
The streaming system is just too agressive, I hope they tweak it so all textures load properly all the time. And eliminating a bit more of the noticeable LoD changes when driving fast would be nice too.
Overview of some mods. The third person one made me laugh, but the minimap mod…so much better
Yeah, saw that video too. The lizard person TPP mod is more of a tech demo, but has promise. I do like the minimap thing, too.
That “We Didn’t Start the Fire” parody at the end makes it all worth it. ;)
If you put double-jump in your game, people are going to use it to get to places you didn’t want them to go.
