The Gamers Arms

Like we said the other night on the D&D Discord, I loved it already when it first came out, I was fortunate not to experience a lot of the technical issues other people had, but 2.0 and the DLC has taken it to a whole new level, and I have no reservation recommending it to people now. I agree that it's one of the best in the genre, and hopefully CDPR take all the lessons they learned from 2077 into the sequel.

I was lucky on that front too, and this time there were only two bugs that caused me any grief: one where I had to wait a day for a call from Rogue, who hadn’t called after several days (had to go through some rigmarole to trigger it), and the other was annoyingly during the epilogue, where entering a vehicle resulted in instant death for no reason (fixed by opening the map beforehand, for reasons unknown). Overall a very smooth experience, though.

DLSS 3 frame generation held up very well too, as it can cause flickering on text and other items in some games. I think it was causing some advert screens to glitch, but it’s hard to tell because it could have been something intentional in-game. A thematically appropriate bug! Totally worth it though because it allowed me to play with ray tracing at 90+ fps. It looks stunning.

This game is soooo fucking good post the patch. Gone with a combat-heavy pistols and katana build, and just unlocked the ability to deflect bullets with the katana directly at the targeting reticule. I am a very nasty surprise for snipers now

I'm doing much the same thing with my V. The dash ability makes melee combat so much more fluid and satisfying.

I like the mantis-blades, but also like to engage in a little fisticuffs, for example to non-lethal finish off cyberpsychos, which they don't give the option to do. Gorilla arms for me

The whip-cable things, forgot their name, are great fun also, can hit multiple targets at a time.

Anyone tried the new projectile cyberware system yet?

Not yet, but I will have a look for it

I have mono wire but never think to use it. Might replace with gorilla arms as I often find myself unable to open locked doors.

I've (probably foolishly) been going with a jack of all trades build and have points in everything. Need to experiment a bit more.

Another huge update for the game today. Think it allows you to jump straight into Phantom Liberty without playing the main game, auto completes some missions and such like. They're really staying on top of it this time, if only like this from the start.
