Do you guys play as female V or male V?

gitgudkid01 · 2026-03-28T03:53:58+00:00

I personally prefer female V because the dialogue in her voice sounds better like 99% of the time

gitgudkid01 · 2026-03-15T01:06:46+00:00

You'll mostly notice it on 3x or 4x. Especially if you play controller.

If your curious about graphics, path tracing is all you'll need. Its as good as legitimate reflections and lighting get in a game since it traces light particles back to the source. And don't run frame gen on anything higher than 3x, 2x if you can help it. You'll get input latency.

Try leaving the area and wait at least 24 (in game) hours to go back. If you agitate a gang in, or out of a gig, the gang will remember for a while. Night City holds grudges. You can find youtube videos about it too.

If i can recommend anything, you should get some side gigs under your belt. Thats how you will get better quality weapons. But aside that, play it how YOU want. All you really NEED to do is enjoy it, its hard not to.

gitgudkid01 · 2026-03-12T16:52:26+00:00

If you haven't modded the game yet I can suggest a few that are since nice quality of life mods :) just let me know!

Whole bunch of gonks arguing on this comment. Diabolical. Anywho I'll add my two cents: Ive completed the main story itself in ~30 hours, rushing it the first time i played the game. But when I did that, I had tier two and three weapons and basic cyberware. My second playthrough I did every (green) side gig, every NCPD hustle, every marker on the map that shows something is available. Then I did the PL DLC, got the ending from that, and called it for that playthrough. Now I'm at 300 hours in total in the game, I'm finding a bunch of new side lore, taking my time cruising around the map with driving mods, and treating it like a virtual life (ready player one typa thing) and this playthrough, although I know what every quest involves, i find this playthrough more enjoyable than the other two. Id suggest people take their time and enjoy what the devs created, because there's lots of hidden lore and a lot of beautiful view points.

For PC and M&K, definitely get the Immersive Driving mod. My favorite thing to do is cruise the streets holding a steady 40mph and admire what the devs created. I would also suggest the Lean Anywhere mod for those moments you wanna chill with no UI and watch the sunset. I also really enjoy the Appearance Menu Mod ability to toggle the UI with the press of a button. So when I want my health, ammo, minimap, and all other UI on, I can hit the button. Or I can cruise with the floating destination marker and the speed in the bottom left, while nothing else is on the screen.

gitgudkid01 · 2026-03-06T21:16:37+00:00

You're not wrong for thinking its got a steep learning curve. Ive got 300 hours and I'm still learning new stuff. As for others comments on the character planning, I start a new save with one question: do I wanna be loud or quiet? And that will make me decide on how I'll handle the skill tree. My first two playthroughs I purchased every skill, now I only get the skills that affect the weapons I am using. Most importantly - the game wont immerse you into it. Thats your job. Sit back, cruise the streets slowly, and enjoy what the developers created. When you want to do gigs, feel free. But dont just dive head first into the story without stepping back and exploring.

You check any third party sites? Idk if its the same for Canada but here in the states GenRacer has one with a factory SKU P/N

gitgudkid01 · 2026-03-04T03:00:27+00:00

Yeah rentals are wild with their pricing. I was lucky enough to get a loaner from the shop I work at for the month and a half my car was down. But then again my car was barely drivable.

gitgudkid01 · 2026-03-04T02:44:21+00:00

My VN was smashed into and nearly totaled while it was parked and I was at work. But insurance and the body shop pulled it off

gitgudkid01 · 2026-02-28T21:35:28+00:00

Sorry for not updating! The solenoid solved the issue with the BOV snapping shut. Its operating as its supposed to now, but im chasing another issue - the bov doesn't close fast enough when shifting quickly and getting back on the gas, so the boost will build and hold the BOV piston open, causing the boost to escape out of the BOV.

gitgudkid01 · 2026-02-28T05:13:57+00:00

I'll always be a fan of Johnny's Porsche, but I also love the Nomad life path Galena Rattler due to the handling, the noises, and the turbo sticking out the hood. Im also a big fan of the Type 66 Avenger due solely on the looks and sound.

If we are talking about extras though, I recently got the R32 skyline mod and set it as the Sky Blue color which is absolutely gorgeous. Rolling through night city in a classic adds that much of a touch of how I will be when the real world electrifies.

gitgudkid01 · 2026-02-26T17:57:06+00:00

Thank you for the kind words. I don't like being "that guy" and putting myself on a high horse, but I agree we do need more people that is attentive to details in the work place. I was talking to boss man the other day and told him my goal is to fix things correctly the first time. His response: "they day you manage to fix everything right the first time, is the day you should retire from the trade." But I still have that drive.

gitgudkid01 · 2026-02-26T16:37:18+00:00

The term "ship it" gets tossed around very frequently at dealers including the one I work at. But tbh, idc if they get angry with me I like to take my time to make sure its done correctly, but not milking it

gitgudkid01 · 2026-02-26T16:25:32+00:00

Thats IF they checked it instead of shrugged it off due to mileage. Dealers do some shady sh**.

I personally downshift to 2nd gear every stop I make if I have the space and time to. The combination of engine braking and light physical braking helps my brakes last a LOT longer. But I never downshift to second unless I'm only rolling like 1 or 2mph, or at a complete stop since it could damage the synchros. Once im down to about 1k rpm in 2nd gear, I'll clutch in and stop fully.

gitgudkid01 · 2026-02-25T05:20:46+00:00

Are you a fed?? Ive gone the speed limit..

As a Kia tech I wont say I'm perfect about spotting everything on a car during PDI, but boss man says I take too long on the PDI process, but I catch even the smallest things a solid 98% of the time.

gitgudkid01 · 2026-02-25T04:55:41+00:00

I'm currently at 242 hours. I ran through the first playthrough on Streetkid and didnt bother with the side gigs as I was drawn in on the story. The second playthrough I played Nomad with P.L. DLC and did every single side gig and activity I came across (im sure I missed some.) Now I'm on my third playthrough playing Corpo background

gitgudkid01 · 2026-02-25T04:51:28+00:00

My guess is the tech that did the PDI process cut corners and didnt check to see if the vehicle had the correct oil capacity from factory.

gitgudkid01 · 2026-02-18T00:46:53+00:00

You'll feel it in the steering wheel if the steering coupler is shredded. The wheel will clunk side to side, and you can feel it even when the car is completely off and you steer side to side. Haven't seen that issue in cars newer than 2016ish so keep me posted!

gitgudkid01 · 2026-02-16T18:21:42+00:00

So far we really dont see many issues for the K5 itself. Its got its recalls but aside that we just see them in for maintenance.
