I've watched every second of footage that was released about three or four times, and I am absolutely in love with it. Super hyped for the game, I pre-ordered in May for my birthday, and now I just have to wait.
But I have one nagging concern. Please do not mess up shotguns. EVERY Single game gets shotguns wrong. Every single one. I have yet to play a game with good shotgun ballistics.
After watching the reviewer footage, I noticed a Corpo play through has a shotgun pistol, and he's firing at some SUV's that are in pursuit, and the shotgun looks like it can barely hit the target at what seems to be around 20 yards.
Yes, it looks like it's doing a ton of damage, but the spread is ridiculous. 10 - 12 feet at that distance is not realistic. As someone who owns a collection of firearms, I can assure you that shotguns are quite deadly, even out to 100 yards. Even without a full bore choke on a 12 gauge short action barrel, you can hit a basket ball sized target with buckshot at 100 yards very easily. Which is what I'm assuming you want the guns to fire, considering #6 shot is for birds and small animals like squirrels and snakes.
Please watch this video, and more like it, so that you really nail down shotguns. And maybe go out to some ranges and test them yourself. I really want to tear up night city with a big shotgun and feel like a badass in your game. I hope I can do that.
If you want, you can come by and shoot some of my guns, too.
Thank you for your time.
