Do I just suck at this game or are the controls on Xbox bad? I feel like I really suck at shooting and have been struggling in the opening area.
Just finished. It's much better on Xbox than PC as it was the buggiest PC game I've ever played. On Xbox it was stable and fun. The difficulty really seemee inconsistent with some missions extremely easy and others brutally difficult. Overall, I enjoyed it. I'm certainly curious to see what the studio does next.
Played the game with my main caracter. Jumped to a new coop game with my main caracter.
Decided to go back to continue the progress on my 1st playthrought. I am stuck at "the beginning" with higher lvl ennemies where I left the coop game (lvl 25-26).
Cant continue. They really hit hard. How can I continue my 1st playthrought?
I was near the end. Why cant I choose the mission I want to continue.

Really enjoyed this,playing solo and with a friend,got to level 30 but had to drop the game to Easy for that last Boss,it was ridiculous and I didnt feel like trying different combinations to beat it...swarm and swarms of ennemies while you had to stand immobile for several second activating something...
Hopefully they make a sequel because the world they build was beautiful and fun.

Hey everyone,
I've been holding off on playing this due to the initial concerns upon release (Steam version).
My main concern was issues with sidequests. From what I remember many sidequests would lead you into area that you were not supposed to be in yet? Has this at all been addressed... or can it even be?

I had the same thoughts and several people said they put aim assist on High. It does feel better and makes combat a bit more manageable. Combat is way easier on PC with a mouse.
I'm level 21 and honestly, this was mostly a non-issue for me. But I didn't even focus on side quests until I was level 17 or so, then I started knocking those out when I had 15-20 minutes at a time to play.
I'm level 21 now and I've only experienced it with a handful of missions (the ones that are in Stimtown and an elevator that is taped off). It's a little annoying, yes, but it's not like there isn't anything to do and Stimtown is close to one of the earliest towns you reach, so it's not like you travel very far before realizing you can't go further.
Good to know, looks like I'll be finally diving in tonight then. Thank you!
How the hell is the "final boss" so freaking hard?
I'm at like my 20th try and I don't have patience for this anymore. I've tried a couple of different combinations but I can't do it. I'm so frustrated right now.

I played it today for the 1st time with 2 of my friends. We all have XsX. The game was so buggy. The screen freezed for 2 of us where we had to be kicked and invited again. Also one of us couldn't join later so we decided we all quit and start again. When we did that no one of us could use the mission direction command (red path on the ground if down on the D-pad is clicked). The game has potential but the experience we had was aweful.
Have you turned the difficulty down? That's what I did just to get it over with.
Nah... I switched my powers to the Mech suit and did it in 2 tries. Thanks to YouTube, I found that it would be easier with that then the healing tower I was using.
Just been getting into this game and I am fucking loving it. I can't help but feel like it was treated a little unfairly by people in terms of reception.
Is it unequivocally a great game? Maybe not, but it's just damn solid, and I wish I could say that about more games. Amazing shooting, a total audiovisual feast, and a really satisfying pace of upgrades and new mechanics. Been having a blast just puttering around this mega-dense hell-city, blowing up and blasting everything that gets in front of me.
I'd encourage anyone who was put off by tech issues earlier on to give it another shot. Been super smooth sailing for me, great PC performance, no stuttering or crashing, no major jankiness. Really impressed with what such a small team achieved, and how sort of honest and no-frills the game itself is.

WOAH! Now that's an update! Was holding off on playing until the side mission stuff was fixed and now it looks like it is. JUMPING IN
How do I hack ICE 2 devices?
I don't under the Cyberdeck upgrades, I had the icepick and now found the Plug but neither can hack ICE 2. Do I need to dump points into something?

The game looks stunning, at least the surrounding. The models of the characters not so much, but they are mostly top-down, so that is fine. Gameplay is generic, but fun. The weapons sound meaty, I like that. The setting and atmosphere are great. I didn't have any problems so far with the Game Pass PC version minus some minor stuttering when entering a new area. Playing everything on Ultra on a 2070S. Turning RTX on/off doesn't seem to make any difference though. Or it's so minimal that I don't recognize it. So I turned it off in case it impacts performance. So far, this is right up my alley with all the shooting and looting. Character building seems a bit basic though and I can already see this becoming a bit stale like Warhammer 40.000: Inquisitor - Martyr. But I played that game for 50 hours, so I will make it through this one as well I guess ;)
There are cyberdeck upgrade loot you need to find. They're in set locations so you can look up a guide to find their locations if you don't mind spoiling that
Got it thank you. Some guides are saying the icepick does ICE 2 incorrectly which is what threw me off.
Well, after somewhat over three hours in I can see why the ratings are so mixed. After the initial positive impression, the game just doesn't add anything more to it. The world looks samey, the battles all feel the same, the enemy AI is braindead, the loot system is trash and character progression doesn't feel good. But the worst part is the abysmal pacing and map design. You are slowly walking from A to B more anything else. The side quests are boring and the main story doesn't seem interesting at all so far. Lots of wasted potential.
Me too :)
Great game, did most of it solo.
Had a bugged side mission until they fixed it and was only waiting for them to fix the comprehensive achievement to move on.
I'm glad there wasn't photo mode day one because I would have never completed the game if so.
Just gorgeous…..took me a bit to understand you have to get rid of the UI to actually use the free POV mode but….'lost' 2 hours just drooling over the city views. Awesome.

I believe since the latest patch it is in-line with the steam version. Someone correct me if I am wrong.
I'm 5 hours in, in the nuclear cooling room, after rescuing the carrier sabotage.
I find the game visually thrilling but the world too big and the shooting a tad boring.
Is there much more to discover ? More crazy weapons or powers ? It lacks the level design of Dead Nation or the frenzy of Ruiner imho.

Seen this recently came out on PS5 and am quite interested. Does anyone have any impressions, about performance, gameplay, co-op experience or anything?
Also what's this about new augmented voice tech?
Edit: My bad, it's out on the 24th of this month. Will keep an eye on it!

The game is great, and the detail/artwork is absolutely INCREDIBLE.
Having said that, I've not played it since these recent patches came out. I highly recommend the game though, I'm sure it wil be fine on PS5.
I only played it single player.
Cheers! Can you describe the action to RPG ratio? Curious about things like character customisation, quest/dialogue options, how open-ended the progression can be, etc. The only clips I've seen have appeared fun but pretty linear, and solely based on shooting. It looks nice, just curious if there's anything more to it.
Finished this last night. I didn't unlock the trophy for doing all side missions. Do they open up after finishing the main story? The game puts you in the Warrens after finishing and I can't see any side mission icons on the mini map. I did every side mission that was available on the map leading up to the last main mission.
Is anyone still playing this game? Has anyone tried out the new Cyber Heist DLC?
I've currently started playing this on Steam. I played it a little on Gamepass a while ago, but decided to buy it on sale on Steam. It's an absolutely beautiful game on PC, but am genuinely surprised at how much it makes my 3080 sweat with RT and DLSS, even at 3440x1440.
