Everything til the title card is pretty straightforward. You can venture out and explore and find some neat stuff (I'm sure there's more once you get to the other districts) but so far, I've gotten a pretty good collection of clothing. I miss my katana though. Gonna have to find it again somehow.
For the most part, in my playing, the game is very accessible. I found the car bug that was posted earlier. Got in and it resolved itself. Also the exploding car issue. Went inside somewhere and then called it back. The fighting is a little wonky but it isn't a deal breaker. The shooting is fun. Borderlands is a good description of it I'd say.
I'm on my second start as corpo and I'm at lvl 5 or 6 atm. Should get to 8 before the title card again. But I want to get as much skill points on my stuff as possible (seems almost difficult to get the exp required to lvl quickly, so it's going to be a grind).

This seems crazy that you'd use tech shotguns with their spread and fire rate. Revolvers are forgiving have range and can be fired from the hip.
Even close up I'd rather use an SMG than to charge a shotgun.
I'll check out snipers again but I dont think the game operates at the range they'd be good at.

I play on hard, i'm not entirely certain what you're talking about. Sniper rifles don't have a scope unless you fit one. At least the ones i've found don't have one.
I run it with a red dot and oneshot basically everything. If i hit, requires some aim of course.
And yeah, lol - the tech shotguns hit for around 600 damage. That's a 60dps shotgun. True, you've got to get close, but a lot of scenarios require you to get close either way because there simply isn't another option. You can sit in the back, hit your 120 damage headshots, or move 3 steps forward and blast them out of the water. In fact you don't need to stand right next to them either, they have a surprisingly long range (longer than i'd have thought) - and they stagger/stun/flop enemies over.
Of course: anyone to himself. I play on hard, stealth where i can, shotgun/sniper and last slot whatever i fancy at the moment - could be a pistol, could be a rifle, or an LMG. Depends on what i'm finding in that situation.
There's going to be a sidemission, lets say.. satanic in appearance. You'll see what i mean. Good luck with a revolver.

I think I got to that mission, I needed to take a break in the middle because it was starting to get to me. Yeah its very unsettling in multiple ways.
Yeah but even those 120 headshots for the smg come by the dozen. anything longer then 10 feet or so I just evaporate with the three round bursts of the assault rifles with at least one of them getting the crit.
Theres a tech pistol that shoots two rounds at once. its uh .. nice. I haven't actualy seen a new sniper rifle in a while and I've been looking for one.

Would people recommend waiting before buying?

If you're on an older console, yes. There have been lots of issues. On PC, it runs well, but you need a decent machine. There are bugs/glitches, but nothing really bad. Overall, it's in a far better state than The Witcher 3 at its release.

Don't get Throwing Knives from the Stealth tree. I thought it sounded really cool; turns out you have to find knives out in the open world, they don't stack in your inventory, and they're one time use because you can't pick them up again.

other than having keybind issues (typical of port to PC issues) the game runs fine.

I've also encountered these 'netrunners' that start hacking me through walls and shit, causing overheat.
It doesn't kill me, but it's fairly annoying, what am I meant to do in that situation? Is it just a matter of 'kill him before the hack completes'? Does it have something to do with cameras? I'm just not sure on how to handle that correctly.
Otherwise no complaints from me, runs fine on PC, 0 crashes so far, a couple graphical glitches but nothing that detracts from the play experience for me.

yeah my computer is not good enough to run this game at all.

Aren't these because of working security cameras? I had this too in Mealstrom mission and i thought they did it because of cameras. I ask, because if you take over cameras you also can hack enemies that are visible by these.

The SMG isn't accurate either, at least the ones i tried. I'd argue the one i tried (bullpub style, no idea about name) had the worst accuracy of anything in the game?
I think i've found that pistol just recently, but mine fires quite literally like a shotgun (a single round hits 5-6 times) and absolutely obliterates enemies while at the same time electrocuting them AND setting them on fire. Quite insane.
That said: i've also found an iconic sniper rifle, with 300 dps. Firing two rounds at once. No explanation necessary. :D
Just play, you'll get it eventually, comes from a main story mission (once you meet Panam, you're not far).

only about 4 hours in, but the game runs pretty well on PS5, I've had to reload for a bugged quest once, but that's about it
|
I think I'll keep this latest run through going. Still pissed I can't find my katana though from anywhere in the game so far. I've been running around, putting off on progressing to the title card just so I can find the damn thing. No dice. At this point, I'm thinking my other character will hold onto that katana until the heat death of the universe.

Doing side gigs and I cannot, not, shoot everything. I try to be sneaky about it and hack cameras to cover my tracks. But I'm still being found out. It's pissing the fixer who's assigning me the gigs off every time but I'm like...can't help it. Tech weapon goes brrrrr.

The parts where you sneak around with Jackie reveal severe weakness in the AI. As long as I'm not seen, he can be standing in the middle of the corridor (which in itself is an AI issue) and the enemies will ignore him.

Still haven't managed to figure this one out. Even when I can't see any camera's I'm getting hacked.
Another issue has annoyed me recently though: in quests where there are multiple objectives (usually 1 real objective and 1 optional), the game will constantly swap my minimap objective. Like I'm following the shortest road to the optional objective and the next second the game switches to the other objective and my GPS shows a different road. Keeps swapping back, very annoying
Was getting some graphical glitches as I got further into the game but downloading the NVIDIA driver fixed everything (should've done that before starting really, rookie mistake.)

Yeah. When I made it to the title card (trying not to spoil too much so I keep referring to this point because it's when the "real game" starts and there are big spoils going into it), that was something I noticed about the sneaking AI.
There also seems to be a bug/glitch where the enemies disappear and all of a sudden are directly on top of you. Or I'm getting hacked and am dying slowly lol.

I have yet to see a infiltration/stealth based game where the AI makes much or any sense but yeah I certainly would like to : P
best I've seen is like.. hitman 2?? I mean the first hitman 2. Idk but AI is always pretty stupid in all games, I feel like it will never change lul. Best thing a AI can do is calculate all possibilities given a huge amount of data in a very limited scenario. Or get perfect aim by hacking into the controls etc. There is no intelligence there : p
I mean, is it that hard to program a allied NPC so that it will properly hide from enemy NPCs and etc? Must be doable but still requires entire reprogramming for every single game I suppose. I dont really know what's going on there but maybe should stop calling it "AI" altogether lul.
I've only played about 2hours of the beginning but I'm def eager to play more : o
