Is the new district a fully functioning expansion to the city so I can drive right through it early or is it a separate entity that you have to enter and exit. It's probably been covered in a preview at some point but as usual, I've ignored all the hype. I purchased it earlier. Was it part of the 50gb I downloaded with patch 2.0 or is it another download? It's fully functioning but you can only access it after a certain character level and you have to enter and exit it but there's no loading screens to get in it and put. You have to download it separately. |

So I’m enjoying it this far but it hasn’t solved the issue that even by the midway point of the game proper you’re basically a walking god. The perk system is cool but it’s also unbalanced the game even more. I thought this was supposed to be endgame-ish content but apparently not. Story is great though so can’t complain. Example - I can beat Adam Smasher by literally just standing in front of him and tapping fire with whatever tier 5 weapon I have. He can’t do enough damage to me to counteract my healing or health mods. |

Does V's head still remain upright when she/he goes to bed? That's probably the thing that bugged me the most on my first playthrough. ? What do you mean. In 3rd person? Before this patch when going to sleep on first person she sleeps side ways Last time I played, during the getting in bed animation (in first person) the camera stays horizontal instead of rotating by 90 degrees, as if her neck has snapped and her head is still upright. |

Lol. I think I know what you mean and I have not realised that at all. I would often go to sleep at the end of play session so would start in V's home next time I played and still it didn't trigger for me that there is something weird. youtu.be/0cOj5Az9wGw?si=5Dtk0MmJlNjdiYjMSo I’m enjoying it this far but it hasn’t solved the issue that even by the midway point of the game proper you’re basically a walking god.

He can’t do enough damage to me to counteract my healing or health mods. Try to do that with 3 points in body. By the end of the game a simple mook could still kill me. I could technically kill anyone with short circuit and spam it on adam until he croaks But had more fun with actually dodging and shooting him down with johnny pistol even though I had max out hacking skills. |

This expansion is epic!
Every time I press start on the title screen it hard crashed back to the dash board.
On my 5th attempt.
Oh and as I type it has finally not crashed. Good start.

Yeah I have lots of start menu lock ups on ps5 since the update but exiting and returning seems to fix it.

Sounds like another “give it 6 months before you get stuck in” CDPR release?

Of course YMMV and you may want to wait anyway due to the amount of games being released, the price but no it's a very stable release, of course there are always improvements that can be made, but that's the same for any and every game released. |

@hoyawobmaj - any issue with motion sickness with this game ? I’m not normally too bad with most first person stuff, except for Arkane’s games
Just wondering 👍

I’m not normally too bad with most first person stuff, except for Arkane’s games Just wondering 👍 I think the ray tracing mode may cause some motion sickness in the expansion due to the sheer detail in it so it never feels smooth even with motion blur, for reference I had severe motion sickness with Starfield due to the really odd motion blur implementation and the terrible FOV. Had no issues with performance mode though. |

I’ve had to do a couple of reloads because AI partners just stand there in combat mode instead of heading for a waypoint once everything’s clear.
Idris Elba facing a wall shouting “IT’S ON” to a room full of corpses is his best performance yet.

You now have the option to skip the BD tutorial and jump straight to the Heist planning one.

Oh cool. Been that long since I started a new character, I'm seeing a whole bunch of new and updated stuff.

This has turned into one of the best games ever for me. Planning and then tearing up a room full of people before they even register you are there just wont get old. Playing on a PC with the new Path tracing and you get these odd little moments where it kind of veers into photo realism, just for a second or two before your brain snaps back. Glimpses of the future, it's fucking ace.    |

Finished the Phantom Liberty storyline. Reminds me a lot of Miles Morales in that it’s a far tighter experience than the main game. Storyline is great, the ambiguousness of all the morality is superbly well done, some moments where I legitimately couldn’t decide which choices to make. I ended up siding with Songbird. Might go back and make a different choice, but I suspect it’ll end up the same effectively. Dogtown is awesome, and the side activities are also less filler than the main game. It’s definitely a far better game now, though it’s still not really an RPG. And still buggy as fuck in places. |

Ah, seems I wasn’t quite done. That is a waaaay better ending. Still bittersweet but a far better conclusion than any of the others. |

I'm really going to miss the Red Engine. I understand why they're moving to UE5 but Red Engine really has a great look to it.

It's been a while since I've been hit in the feels revolving around a couple of character arcs.

I’ve not actually played a UE5 game yet (other than The Matrix demo) but I’ve keen memories of this period everyone was using (I’m going to say, UE3?) and every game looked exactly the same. Hopefully the switch does what it says on the box though, and they have much more time to hone content over fiddling with the game engine. |

UE3 was more pronounced with its OTT specular highlights on everything and everything being brown but that wasn't exclusive to UE3. I guess UE4 was a bit more diverse but it was quite recognisable when Devs just used the asset library. Like you say I hope it's diverse, I think it will be though due to how very different late UE4 games have looked these days such as Jedi Survivor and Stray. |

Getting quite into this now. Although you'd have to be a crackhead to think L3 to sprint makes sense. Need to get ekz's keyboard tray thing.

TBF it may be my 8bitdo pad. It doesn't give good feedback when you press the stick whilst pushing it.

So I had this astonishing trouble with the chimera fight and thought I was going to have to restart the whole game from scratch, then just earlier thought to go into setting and set auto-aim back to default, and then defeated it easily.

This is amazing!! Love it so much. I'm a little bit op for this expansion as I loaded a game just before the end and I could up the difficulty to the top one but it's kinda amazing being so bad ass! Xxxxxxx
