158+ h played.
● After prelogue when i go out of my home building, there was a combat going on between police and gangs near my stairs. As a good citizen of the Night City, i draw my gun and try to help police. My bullets chose to hit policeman and i become criminal. Then i had to defend myself against police. I thought i can put down one officer and run away
I couldn't be more wrong. Police ended up being aliens from outer space who can teleport at my blind spots and i was already killed my only allies Gang members. As i keep killing teleporting aliens they sended me 3 elite alien officers with phasing abilities. They can dodge my bullets and rush into my face just to fire their sniper rifles. I couldn't see their weapon tho i ended up dead.
● 3 people were talking to each other at stairs, i slowly go near to them and tried to talk. I know i am an outsider but talking was never an option or there was no option to talk to them.
● Played as Nomad, farmed alot of credits and paid my debts before meeting de shawn, bought relic from maelstorm with my own credits and ended up getting at combat as shown in trailers and from that point i understand that my choices doesn`t realy matter.
》》》 after 5 hours and i know my actions ingame doesn't matter. There were no talkative NPCs, no arrows to the knees or no " You are under arrest by law of Night City" . "Ok, this is not an open world game" i said and continued to play.
● All i have in my hand was Gigs and NCPD events. I enjoyed them a lot. I complete every single one of them and then i saw the horrible flaw ingame. They were limited, not random and they wont respawn
I didn't expect to do same gigs but blue markers... I was really sad. I couldn't believe it and i said " After i progress in main story new gigs and blue markers will spawn " to myself. And they do spawn after i do some main quests. I was at the "Night City lockdown" point before that
New markers showed up at map but now i keep tracking them after completing. They didn't respawn sadly. All i have in my hands are bunch of gang members which respawn as soon as i turn my back on them, go away 50 meters and come back to them just to snipe them from 300 meters, go to loot them, steal their car to go 30m shop point and sell their collected soul to a mailbox. And yes cars and mailboxes refresh too. 50m is the key or maybe it changes with video options i dont know. I ended up buying everything in game.
● At some point of the game i had to smash a fighter for 20 minutes nonstop to get his car's keys. I didn't wanted to cut my fully working organic hands for mantis blades or gorilla hands. I could use iron hand gloves or some attachments which are removable. If i am going to cut my hands for an tech equipment it won't be for a thiny blade, i want a gathling canon or place a bazooka in my arms ( I was playing on veryhard and if you spam heavy attack with 1 sec delay you can perma stun enemies but you have to do that for 15 min at least) .
● I accepted everything ingame but perks and talents. Level 30 perks were so bad i thought they made them this way so people can mix 4 - 5 talent trees and achieve combos. I was wrong. You can just get "your bombs doesn't damage you" perk with little crafting and go suicide yourself with 500 bombs into the enemy and Gig master will call you 'n say " I heard you did a great job there, here is some extra credits" Dude i blow the place up, i was walking in jhonny's shoes already even before relic. The more i look at perk/talent system the worse it gets. Body had 3 different tree under itself which means you will get more perks if you max them. Same with reflex. As a smart player - i think of myself - i maxed them only to find out you need to jump for 1000 hours to max athletics
Of course you can minimize this time while under stairs, running or dodging to wall while spamming jump if you take max stamina pills and didn't take running perk ( endless run perk doesn't increase your athletics since it doesn't consume your stamina) Lets call it 700 hours since your stamina regen doesn't change even if you instant spend them. There are alot of critical hit perks in handguns while best hand guns have %100 crtc chance base.
I thought level 30 perks gets +1 perk point for each perks spended at that tree. It would make alot of sense if level 30 talent was strong you simply put your perk points in some good talents, some minor usefull talents and maybe some useless talents ... Nah i just crafted 2000 sniper rifles, reseted perk points and put 90+ in Einstein and sell them for double price. Jumping for hours or selling 3 sniper run 50m sell again was not fun.
》》》 I can ignore every bug, every glich or stupid ai and still enjoy the game. The most things i enjoy ingames are talents, min-max and play style. At this point i have an urge to end game and start newgame+ ( It was a sad story too) .
● I bought all cars and the i love most was the best - coyote - so when i was riding for a gig with full sound i just keep driving till the song ends if the next song was good as well i probably end up at wastelands
. WHOSE idea not to put some car race, check point race or whatever someone to drive with ingame. I demand finding people who are responsible for it and give them some time to work while waiting above their heads to be sure they add car races in game! PLEASE
I drifted alot at big square with awesome musics ingame. High speed 90+ with a slip of handbreak can do alot of joyfull memories ( coyote still best )
● I played Main story after 150+ hours from takemura quest till end. It was like a movie and i enjoy it so much it felt too short. I was thinking game was 8.5/10 before main story and i was like 10/10 after i saw credits. It was awesome and after this point i was free and i could go to watch some videos or read forums. Ignorance is a bless. The game is still 10/10 for me but the videos i watch and the game i played was different. I didnt expect a masterpiece , i know so little about game, i watched 48min video only 2 times and so much before game release, with release date delay game come out within my 14 days hollidays plus everything ingame from start to finish was best for me. It worked out prety nice for me and i am just waiting for more patches, dlc and i can preorder again with all my hearth again even with dlc or expansion. Gameplay experience for me was so awesome i remember only good things happened ingame but now i expect a lot from multiplayer version
● From 1st hour to 160+ hours my gameplay experience i shared with you.
