>lots of “mechanics”
i thought so too at the beginning but there are barely any mechanics

game suffered from being an open world
should have instead been several small but highly detailed hub worlds for each of the city districts

>>737101986
I wasnt sure how in depth the crafting system is. But the shooting did not feel satisfying at all vs something like fallout where enemies literally explode, or Doom.

>>737101917
Do you mean the tutorial or the plaza mission?

>>737102338
Very shallow.

its does get better but its just takes a really long time. half the mechanics of the game play that makes it fun is hidden behind perks in the skill tree and upgrades/ gear.

>>737102338
i can recommend power pistols and headshots, it gets bretty satisfying one shotting everything with a headshot

Its an extremly slow story driven start

It honestly takes a while to get "good" where they finally let you off the leash and have activities to do.

Its one of the main reasons i've never gone back for a 2nd playthrough, the first couple hours are shit

>>737102503
>off the leash and have activities to do.
what activities? it's all boring open world filler

>>737102459
Your opinion that Im shallow is very shallow. Im interested in more than just mindless shooting, but for a game that one must assume a significant portion of it will be spent shooting at things, the physics of it should feel fun and powerful (esp given the futuristic setting) not dinky.

>>737102503
Eh I liked the Konpeki plaza job

>>737102539
That would be my real advice to someone looking at starting the game, just do story for a bit even after the open world starts, it gets you invested and then later you can engage with the open world if you feel like it

>>737102636
The crafting system is very shallow. Just to clear that up. And you get much better feeling weapons quite quickly.

I just platted this a week ago. I will say, it took a while for it to click but when it did it gets fun as fuck. The best part is honestly the gameplay/choices. The creative freedom that you have to choose how you go about a mission is amazing.

Want to go in guns blazing? You can. Want to snipe people from afar and clear out the place without getting your hands dirty? You can. Want to run around with a bat or sword and pummel and slash and gash people? You can. Want to play stealth and just slowly take people out one by one? You can. Want to go full Watch Dogs and just hack everything to shit? You can. Want to play pacifist, get in, grab/hack/steal whatever you need, then get out like a fucking ghost without ever alerting someone? You can.

Literally the best part of the game was casing out the place for your gigs/missions, finding an alternate route and getting in and out without even being detected a single time. There was a gig where you need to steal a shard from some funeral home and that shit was fun climbing onto the roof, breaking in and getting the shard from the body without making a peep.

The only tip I'd say is make sure you max out Technical. You can choose whatever else you want but you want to be able to hack/go full netrunner in a game like Cyberpunk.

>>737102972
that's true but why go through the hassle when you can just headshot everything easily without any drawbacks

It literally never gets good. The only truly positive thing you can say about the game is that some of the music on the radio is good.

>>737101917
>Does this game get better?
No.

>>737103186
Because what's the fun in just one shotting everything? At that point you might as well just use cheats.

>>737103347
>Because what's the fun in just one shotting everything?
that's my definition of fun. i like it a lot in combination with gyro aiming

>>737101917
act 1 is great but very limited
act 2 is amazing

Welcome to one of the most overrated games of the 2020s.
I have a theory that deep down normalfags dont actually like video games. They just want interactive movies with minimal braindead gameplay.

>>737103530
Is CP77 overrated? It was received poorly, its reputation might have improved but I wouldn't call it overrated, nobody treats it as a great game. As someone who loved Witcher 3 I thought CP77 was okay but negligible.

Unironically the first mission (minus the lifepath part) is the worst section of the whole game. It's so clunky and has a hundred tutorials. Get past Konpeki Plaza, but explore Watson and do some side gigs and cyberpsychos, and it'll get into a proper flow.

>>737103668
After the tie-in anime released normgroids suddenly decided the game itself is engoodened because they reworked perk trees from "broken OP & broken, not working whatsoever" to numberpumping mediocrity" that never develops because of global level scaling.
But you have hype and aura moments with slow motion implant.

I never see the DLC on sale for like $12-15, it's almost always nearly full price. it's gay

>>737103751
don't do sidegigs and cyberpsychos, they are a huge waste of time
>>737103805
anons kept saying the DLC is better than the mains story and i got goyopped into buying it

>>737103879
>don't do sidegigs and cyberpsychos, they are a huge waste of time
This is probably bait, but why would you play the game but then...not play half of the game? The side stuff gives a lot of context about the world you're in, humanises Johnny a lot more, and can link back to your chosen lifepath.

>>737103982
wait, what sidegigs are we talking about? The storylines of Judy, Panam etc. I agree with but if you mean the small sidemissions (pretty sure they're called sidegigs) then i don't

>>737104071
The romancable character's storylines for sure, but the Lizzy Wizzy one has a connection with the dlc, the Peralez' questline, Rogue's questline and gigs that you get that pertain to the Samurai members and culminates in opening up a certain ending in Arasaka Tower, Nancy's sidequest that sends on a wild goose chase around the city.
Padre's gigs and the ones in Watson each have an overarching, albeit smaller, storyline.
I haven't played in a few months so I am missing others but my point is that just doing the main story is gimping your own enjoyment if you have any interest in the city at all.

>>737104362
i had to look it up to get the terminology right. there are

side jobs (ok and important)
minor jobs (mostly ok but seem like filler more often than not)
gigs (mostly a waste of time)
minor activities (waste of time)

>Didn't read
Wrap it up nigger

>>737104581
I would put the NCPD radio as minor, they really are only if you're hard up for money (which is impossible honestly).
Gigs are alright. No huge commitment for most of them, but good for testing out different playstyles and there being an overall small story for each fixer.
Not sure what you would class as minor jobs. Sinnerman? The shooting range and the shooting challenge in Rancho Colorado?

>>737101917
Imagine Borderlands gameplay but the setting is Bladerunner.
Congrats that's Cyberpunk 2077! A shallow FPS with lite-RPG elements!

>>737102338
>the shooting did not feel satisfying at all vs something like fallout
The fact that nobody called this shit out is fucking insane.
I don't care for 2077, but fallout's guns feel like fucking garbage.

>>737104731
>minor
yeah that's stff like "Assault in Progress", "Reported Crime" etc.
>gigs
missions given to you by the 7 fixers. they seemed pretty boring to me
>minor jobs
those are the yellow exclamation marks on the map. shooting range, monk etc. they can be hit or miss

>>737101917
After completing it I have driven and walked around the city for 30+ hours. Over a year and a half. I just like what the level designers and the art designers and everyone else has done.

Haven't done anything like this with any other game, it is hard to explain why.

>>737105197
the city is really pretty to look at, shame it feels so dead
any town in oblivion feels more alive

>>737105197
The city really is an amazing bit of work. I know you can't go into all the buildings but I love how they've got shitty little alleyways and backlots that you'd probably never see. It shows that they really gave a shit about it.

>>737104842
Maybe cause your opinion is gay as fuck and there is nothing to call out. I really only brought it up because I played NV and FO3 for the first time recently.

>>737104842
I agree. Cyberpunk isn't great, but still much better than that. Gunplay in Fallout always sucked to me, especially when I compared it to Stalker. The abundance of bullet sponges in Fallout is dreadful.

>>737101917
>over bloated slop

>>737102338
>vs something like fallout where enemies literally explode
the enemies explode in Cyberpunk, did any of you faggots even play this game

>>737104581
gigs are where you get sandbox missions you can use all your abilities for, damn an entire thread of shitty opinions, congrats guys, I will wait for the next Cyberpunk thread instead

>>737106798
"""""sandbox missions""""" aka the same enemy camps seen in every copy paste open world game

>>737106798
>sandbox missions you can use all your abilities for
*yawn*
surely you must be underage

>>737101917

this is one of those games where if you dont like it, for one reason or another, its a you problem.

>>737101917
It literally doesn't have enough mechanics, it's disappointingly shallow

>>737101917
the gameplay takes a bit before it gets good and the gunplay is pretty mediocre. the game has really solid melee combat though
also one of the few games in general where throwing knives/weapons arent a complete fucking meme and are borderline overpowered

nope its a game for plebs, its solely praised for its cutscenes and all gameplay elements are trash
they didnt fix anything and even made most things worse with the patches. the sole reason people shill this trash is because of a pedo cartoon character and the cutscenes

actual gameplay was made worse with patches, stamina being your "Ammunition" the hacking skill tree was utterly ruined, and all gameplay got level scaled so you have to have 20 strength to open a door or move a box
