I’m like 8 hours in and all I’ve been doing is climbing things, skirting little ledges around buildings to see if I can get higher, and constantly using ping/distract on things on the ground.
I don’t know why. I’ve only found 2 places where I could break a window with a bat and sneak into a building, most floors and buildings seem only for show with no real interior. But… since I know breakable windows and secret entrances and shit exists I can’t stop looking for it.
I’m only level 7, but climbing high and lighting everyone on fire with technomagic is my kind of great combat. I was really surprised to find out that actually lighting people on fire until they run out of health somehow doesn’t count as killing them and they just go “downed”… so I can get the bonus from some quests for not killing, then go back with a katana and dice them up. <3
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.
A lot of them you will know when you die very quickly that you’re not ready. It autosaves a lot so just load a recent save if you need to. I think the quests have recommended levels too?
The way I did it any time I finished a mission I would just look at what was closest to me on the map and do that next… It usually worked out ok.
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.
Let me recommend playing the main story until you see the title screen. You may have done the “tutorial” but until you see the title screen you are still very much in the “intro” of the game.
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.
I find it relaxing to not take seriously. It’s like a mix of GTA and Assassin’s Creed with beautiful graphics and a good soundtrack. The story is good, but not so good that I want to see how it ends right away.
