Yes, exactly that, that annoying bounce the car does whenever V downshifts, most notably around 40, which is the speed limit in Night City (at least according to the few speed limit signs i've seen) and the speed most of the traffic seems to move, so driving in first person with a gamepad trying to drive as realistically as possible ends up in most vehicles hopping and skipping down the street, which is just horrible. Should've just copied the gearbox system from any other game or simply shouldn't have tried to make it "realistic" or whatever they were going for there. And if they wanted realistic, then they should've just given us manual transmission and wheel support, i'll gladly hook up my G29.
Honestly, if it's because of the driving mechanic, then that driving mechanic needs to be scrapped or fixed. I can literally drive a crappy Yugo from the 80s without it skipping and hopping down the street, meanwhile V can't even drive his own old nomad car without missing the RPM on nearly every downshift.
Someone mentioned steering, it's not great, definitely needs a linearity option though. Manageable on cars, annoyingly bad on motorcyles, which is why i don't use any. Not sure what the devs were going for there, as it's neither fun nor realistic in first person. 3rd person seems a bit better, but i'm literally never in 3rd person in this game.
But give credit where credit is due, vehicles are truly that retro futuristic mix of neon, lights and 80s future vision and i will love them for that forever, also the vehicles sound freakin' awesome and every vehicle sounds exactly as it looks.
