Finally started Cyberpunk.... I can't stop climbing everything.

You would have loved it back at launch. There was a glitch with slowing time that would hella boost your momentum and if you jumped right while exploiting it, you could leap over skyscrapers. I haven't had nearly as much fun in the game as the first few times through before this was patched out.

It's one that was always interesting but I somehow never started. That would be cool, but I've heard there were tons of way less fun bugs too, so I'm ok with starting now.

I'm still trying to figure out the slowing time thing that seems to happen when I press to scan. Sometimes/most times if I do it in a moving car time slows to a crawl and I can get cheap xp off any machines or cops I pass, but sometimes it doesn't slow at all or it does but I can't target anything.

I'm guessing that has something to do with the one icon from the... net hacky main thing... that I don't see explained anywhere. The menu in this game is still horrible. Completely unintuitive where to find information. I very honestly don't know how to see how many HP I have left. Every time I open the character stats page it just shows my total HP. I've just started popping that healing item every few seconds just in case I'm taking fall damage or something.

I tried playing at launch, on a PS4. Only time I've ever really felt a game was unplayable.

Year or so later, tried on a PS4 pro, but still wasn't any good.

Today after a friend bugging me for like week, I'm giving it another go on a PS5, and this time, it looks and plays the way they promised.

First game I've played that makes use of the trigger feed back, going to have to get used to that.

Just finished the tutorial, really hoping it lives up to the hype. Do have to say it's the best looking game I've played.

Just wait until you get more advanced cyberware. There are leg modules for double or charged jump. With that and the air dash ability under Reflex, you can leap like a mighty cyber-gazelle across the city, faster than many cars.

Thw slowdown effect could be a cybernetic part, the hacking program, or a skill you unlocked in the skill tree. Check all those to see which is being activated when.

HP is shown as a bar on the HUD in the upper left corner and shows the Current/Total numbers along with the bar.

Game is insanely good looking, only real gripe with it is spending an hour in character customization then realizing that lighting is nothing like normal so my character only looks good in the customization screen.

I can't be too far in. I got to my apartment, car the first cyberdoc, and talked to Barret in his car.

I'm to busy exploring to do their story. It's funny, I've seen people online say not to pay back what you owe that first cyberdock but I have like twice that much money from just exploring it stealing and murder hoboing.

Would like some advice on how to get invested in the game. Got past the tutorial into a bit more open world and I'm torn between side quests and the main quest. Worried I'll go into some territory that I'm not prepared for.

It's a beautiful game. Just want to find that groove.

After you dice them up, put them in a dumpster for an additional XP bonus.

yeah. double jump is like the first cyberwar to get and the dex tree mid air dash is great. wait till you get the gun that lets you blast the motorcycle into the air.

most of the cyberwware hack type of attacks don't kill. I think suicide might be the only one as it causes them to kill themselves.

Just pick something that looks interesting and go for it. The areas are level scaled now, so you don't have to worry about wandering into a high level zone.

To add to this, don't be afraid to adjust the difficulty to your liking. Scaling is honestly GREAT for the game, but IMO normal-level combat is too easy. Higher difficulties add real threat to combat, which I think makes things much more interesting.

Man, I couldn't even get past the tutorials. It was all so overwhelming. The cyberware and combat I was ready for but the memory stuff was just too much. I can't remember systems within systems and having to remember details from dreams asked too much.

Beautiful game. Cool environment. Just too busy.

Yee this is how I discovered there's an invisible ceiling eventually. But you can also climb high enough to ride on the trains in some areas so I forgive the max height, especially since its real fuckin far up.
