Additionally, have you ever played Driver San Francisco? I doubt there’s a copy available today, but maybe you could source one? Its a really good game.
I have not, but I do believe i watched a YouTuber talk about it years ago. It looks like it’s available for PS3, and I literally just ordered a PS3 yesterday. So maybe I’ll try breaking it in with that if I get a chance
I’m enjoying the game but it suffers from that problem where the world feels so hollow, like a museum piece and all you can do is observe. It all looks great from a distance and I always want to go places I see far away but when you get there it’s just dead. Buildings you can’t go in, shops you can’t buy from, vendors you can’t talk to. You walk down these bustling side streets with loads of activity and all you can do I buy a taco from a vending machine.
I feel the same about several games I love, but really we are asking for additional years of development. I’m not sure anyone but massive successes like GTA can afford those dev cycles in the corpo returns economy.
I actually think this is somewhere that AI could help out, just cranking out loads of mundane little features to give a place depth. I’m looking forward to the possibility of games where you can walk around a whole building because it’s all being generated on the fly by AI.
Which Linux distro are you using? I’m considering switching over somewhere this year, but I’m not sure which distro would be best for gaming + regular user stuff.
Not op but I’m using Fedora. I installed NVIDIA drivers from the “app store” then downloaded protonqtup, Steam, and Heroic. I’ve only had one game not work, and that’s Deathloop. Everything else is fine.
I suggest trying out a few distros using live bootable images, and picking one you find comfortable for regular user stuff. There is no “best” for gaming; all the major desktop distros can do it just fine.
I highly recommend continuing getting sidetracked. I really enjoyed just roaming around the city, exploring, shooting people, just getting lost in the world.
I was going to leave the little section of island I was on but if I can’t until a certain point. I ended up just driving around and then browsing the stores on the street
Yes, they do lock you in Watson for the early game. Going to try to say this without spoiling things, don’t feel like you have to do the main missions right away. You can take all the time you want putting those off.
I LOVE cyberpunk. I just finished my [actual number of times I’ve played redacted] play through and I’m stopping myself from starting another. I don’t know what it is about it, but it’s just exactly up my alley. The choices they have you make, they styles of play it let’s you choose, it’s just preem-tier gaming for me. The DLC adds such a massive cherry on top, because it’s so goddamn good it rivals the best the game has to offer.
Enjoy Night City, my friend. I’ve done about four playthroughs of Cyberpunk and I love it. Nowadays I need to leave the dystopian shit alone though, bit too real.
I’ve never been a big dystopian fan and there’s only like one Dystopian thing I can name that I liked, But Cyber Punk’s world feels really well crafted. I think if it wasn’t for the bugs it might have had a pretty good shot on launch
Wow. I feel like i’m really experiencing California Traffic. It’s just as bad as the real thing.
I hope California drivers aren’t as bad as the NPC drivers in this game. Any minor obstacle has a 50% chance of sending them into panic, ramming other vehicles and wedging their own into positions from which they cannot easily escape, when they could have just steered around it. It gets so laughably bad that I have sat and watched them try for 10-15 minutes at a time, wondering if they’ll ever manage to drive away.
I saw a car hit a divider barrier on one of the interstates while driving around the city, then back up, And hit it again. I’m not really sure why it was doing that but I wish it had kept going just so I could keep watching
I hope you’ll enjoy your time in Night City! I think it’s a great game at this point with some really interesting characters and a good story. It has its flaws, but I had no problem overlooking them though your mileage may vary. If you intend to pick it up on PC when it’s arrived there is also a vast assortment of great mods.
Also, you’ll be blown away when you’re trying it on your new rig, fully path traced Cyberpunk is probably still one of the prettiest games out there.
Any mods that reduce the inventory managment aspect. I don’t care if it is cheating, but it really gets in the way of the gameplay and story for me. (At least on 1.something early I’ve just started a new playthrough.)
It’s been a minute since I played but setting carry capacity to infinite should certainly be trivial (I didn’t use it but I’ve seen it around). Smarter Scrapper was enough for me I think. Also Muted Markers in the same vein, though it’s not strictly inventory. Limited HUD is also a must have. But if you let me keep going you’ll eventually end up with 250+ mods just like me.
I enjoy assassin’s creed type games and I know this isn’t a hot take or anything but man are those games bloated with boring ass time waster side quests. Starts to feel like a job after a bit and I hate it. I really wish they would just focus on a solid core campaign story and leave the billion little errands on the cutting room floor. But I get that some people love just hunting stuff down and checking them off a list so idk. Just feels like they’re focusing more on maximizing the time you’re playing the game rather than just having fun playing it.
Yeah I think the errands add a decent distraction from time to time but the sheer amount of the same god damn thing is just wild. The whole game came across as pretty decent but they really stretched the repetitive content to make a full game around the story.
FC5 didn’t have towers and FC6, as far as I know, has a single tower that makes a joke about it. I don’t beleive AC Odyssey had those towers, either. Can’t remember Origins. The tower mechanic was also only used to visualize parts of the map, sometimes with a unique goody at the top. It’s back to foot-based map discovery. The busy work here is talking about all the bullshit collectibles and similar scavenger mini quests. AC is full of chests and AC4 had some cave clearing missions and deep sea dive puzzles. You have to go to certain locations or complete a certain number of collectibles to unlock some equipment rather than relying on the campaign alone. 20 hours of story, 100 hours of fetch.
I find them fun when they’re implemented in unique locations or the climb can be an experience. But they just kind of slap them in a lot so it becomes much more of a check box for me
Yeah, I tried Black Flag a while back—because I’d heard good things—but just couldn’t be bothered with all the busy work. I did really enjoy Mafia 3, The Witcher 3, RDR2; I’m not anti-side quest by any means. I think I need a more compelling story, and that’s never been AC’s strong point (based on ~3 AC games I’ve picked up and quickly dropped over the years).
Yeah. For me it was tolerable in the old games, because the story ranged from decent to pretty good so it could carry it.
But Valhalla’s story for me just wasn’t interesting so it felt like a Viking themed collectathon rather than Assassin’s creed. It just ended up highlighting my issues with it. All the chests and Animus Fragments are by far the worst ones with how many there are.
The game has become more of a brawler‘s creed, I wish it was more about figuring out how to cleanly assassinate your target instead of leveling up to match the level of and fight a buncha goons…
From what I’ve heard Mirage was a return to form for the franchise and id assume Shadows would keep with that, but the latest game I played was Valhalla and even then I didn’t beat it and I skipped over Odyssey so I’m not sure exactly how true to form Mirage is
The truth was like a green crack through my brain. Weapon statistics floating in the air, glimpsed out of the corner of my eye. The repetitious act of shooting, time slowing down to show off my moves. The paranoid feeling of someone controlling my every step. I was in a computer game. Funny as Hell, it was the most horrible thing I could think of.
