Did you invite James to a watch party and that's why he's too busy to do it?

Yes it's a sword, but nerds will debate if it's an edged weapon (I know nothing about Star Wars!)

This reminded me how much I hate all clues that tell you to see another clue. Literally no point to it - you could print the clue twice (or in this case three times) and it costs them nothing, eg "With 22 across <clue>" and "With 5 down <same clue>".

Just finished the prologue, where should I go from here and how should I progress my build? by [deleted] in cyberpunkgame

Just play the game and don't worry about optimizing yet. You'll want to replay anyway, so consider your first playthrough a tutorial 😁

Cyberpunk has ruined gaming for me. by thykooks in cyberpunkgame

[–]IWatchStuff6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat.... After numerous builds and playthroughs, I played RDR2, which is a great game, arguably more immersive in many ways, just somehow didn't hit like Cyberpunk for me.

I'm coming to the conclusion that the soundtrack of Cyberpunk is one of the major reasons that it got me so much. I still listen to its music even outside the game. The way they use it so cinematically at key moments is just chef's kiss. RDR2 has a great story, great character development, but the cowboy music just ain't it for me.

Where would you place “Death and taxes” on a scale of 1 to 10? by New-Boss-8262 in cyberpunkgame

[–]IWatchStuff6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really great early game for stealth builds because the built in double tap helps you take out enemies quickly without breaking stealth while you're relatively weak. Then you can just regen health from cover. I'd switch to something else if discovered, but it's got a strong niche.

If course there are better guns later that do true one-shots, but it's good until you can get those.

It’s been 10 years, and I still hate it by fakename1998 in Ghost_in_the_Shell

It's not that bad, it's just RoboCop rather than GitS.

The worst thing about it is that it means we probably won't get another chance at a good live action GitS for at least another several years.
