finally got to play this yesterday (2.0 and phantom liberty, had a minmaxed save from 2 years ago lol)
took me like 3 hours of derping around and random game crashes to figure out that (vhard difficulty obv.):
Gunplay is meh, and all guns i tried were weak AF. I tried/specced into pretty much everything except tech. Gone are the days when you could headshot any single enemy with a silenced pistol
Stealth implementation is even more shit now than i remember from base game, "true" stealth unplayable unfortunately. Sometimes you get instant detection from a kilometer away ignoring your stealth stats. Also i think pretty much everything that does not clean oneshot an enemy gets you detected regardless of your stats, at least sometimes. Combat mode does not end for ages. Thrown knives, the OG stealth ranged weapon still an absolute joke. Etc.
Quickhacks still good/OP but clunky to use. Let me click on a drop down menu instad of combat. true eve online player combat option. Also i already played the base game as a netrunner lol
So for the DLC its katana,optical camo, berserk and grenades. So far my combat gameplay loop is: sprint in with optical camo, pop berserk godmode, mash left click, gtfo when berserk ends, wait in the corner for berserk CD (maybe loba grenade in enemy general direction), repeat. A bit simple, but fun so far, i've also yet to figure out how to properly pop off on enemies with blades dash combos etc. "Finisher" animation gets old fast and takes ages, not doing that anymore.
Just started the dlc story-wise (did first miniboss and entered hideout). Game plot clichees everywhere, but still more than good enough.
you can get the perk that auto activates camo when crouch sprinting, and not put it in a quickslot

Thank you for that, pretty much confirms what I was feeling and saves me the trouble of trying it out for myself.
Investing in tech would fix most of your complaints regarding 1 tapping heads, you can roll up to 3 extra stats like crit damage, headshot damage and damage on full health enemies, which then get further boosted by passives. I still oneshot anything up to maxtac with Rogues Pride pistol (with silencer) and any of the legendary knives (PL throwing axe is bae). Seraph should also work. Not to mention there are new implants, you can get almost 50% crit chance for throwables from Handle Wrap and Stabber before even activating sandy, which gives another 40% with maxed shinobi.
Stealth also highly benefits from tech because of cooldown reduction, implants for even more reduction and a relic perk lets you exit combat state with optical camo.
I'd watch this!

Why is it called earth, when it is mostly water???
I forget where I found it, but the Watson Whore diary shard is a p. funny read.

They unfucked weapon cycling and I hate it.
If you scrolled forward you would only cycle through guns. And backwards would eventually give you fisticuffs.
My build is for quickly swapping Yinglongs and now I get stupid fists, ruins my DPS

As a keyboard nerd I use the 1, 2, 3 keys to access my weapons. Yeah, this option is obviously limited to PC.If you scrolled forward you would only cycle through guns.
The opening mission section of Phantom Liberty is fucking amazing. 10/10 would play again and again and again. Even the annoying escort quest manages to be not horrendous for an escort quest.
technology can’t solve economic and political problems
So much Cyberpunk stuff happening.
Sequel is in early concept AND they announced there will be a Live Action TV series based on the 2077 version of CP.

I mean the anime was pretty damn good!
But then the bad smell from Witcher series 2+ is still lingering...
Not sure how to feel.
Well CD Red doesn't own the rights to the Witcher series, pretty sure they won't be repeating the same mistake again.

yeah i did figure it out, but this shit does take quite a bit of minmaxing to actually one-tap elites.
Compared to netrunner which just goes lol system collapse for guaranteed long-range one hit on every non-boss enemy in the game
thrown weapons are more fun though, for sure
i do use thrown knives where possible (apparently i sold the iconic thrown axe, cant find it anymore), and fall back to berserk + flame katana ezmode every time game decides to insta-detect me for some reason (quest script sequences etc.)

system collapse and two headshots clear up groups of three in a snap, love dat shit
death and taxes felt like literal cheating so i am running a Tamayura instead of even a Nue for style points
i have skipped lots of gameplay stealth-archering so gonna do a sandevistan cyberninja replay in another couple of years
and an observation: most scopes are actually terrible, can't keep track of SO-21 reticle for shit

So I've just installed a Tier3 one of these - thinking I'd go all Ghost in the Shell on everyone.
Seems somewhat anticlimatic. Doesnt last long... doesnt seem very effective.. and has a huge cooldown.
Glanced over the cool and tech trees but cant see much in the way of making it better. What am I missing?
Ahh ok. Think i will revert to my trusty frags then till I level up more and can get a bettererer one.
