German Carmageddon had robots instead of people.

So I just watched that Flash movie. First things first, it's absolutely amazing... how bad the cgi is. Some of the scenes are so rough, it looks like a video game from the time where we still had pre-rendered cutscenes. Especially batman right in the beginning is so terrible, it's almost as if Ben Affleck wasn't even there and they just slapped his face onto some 3d model. That said, I did not fall asleep while watching the movie, which means it isn't the worst super hero movie out there. In comparison, with Wonder Women 1 and 2 I fell asleep quickly and only woke up in like the last 15 or 20 minutes. Anyways, I lol'd because Oh, I forgot something... can we stop with those multiverse storylines? They are annoyingly boring and just feel lazy. I get it, you want to make money with fan-service and trying to slap as many of your franchises into the same movie as possible, but it's just so ugh...

Apparently they changed it because dumping bodies into them was always lethal, since they have no way of tracking unconscious bodies in those containers (my guess is because the character just gets deleted when inside, but dunno).

I didn't even heard about this game until right now.

Almost everything is OP in late game. The only thing still giving me some issues are those boss encounter, everything else is just ez. Pretty much what I noted already in one of my earlier posts. The level scaling makes it so that once you hit a certain threshold, everything is just easy and plays out always the same.

Also not to forget, you can refund perks at any point in the game. So whatever playstyle you want to do, you can pretty much change your perks whenever you like or need.

Crazy how many people say the attack was justified because Israel is bad.

What the **** did I just watch.

Forgot to mention that I made a selfie with the top band Us Crack and music legend Kerry Eurodyne.

tbh, the older I get, the less I hate the sequels.

You are ignoring that they found huge oil/gas fields and whatnot in eastern Ukraine. Russia needed to act and not allow western companies to get their hands on those resources. Why should we buy from russia if we could just buy from ukraine with a much shorter delivery pipeline? War was pretty much inevitable the moment russia realized they couldn't turn ukraine into a puppet state via politics. Clearly NATO was no threat to them, since right now they pulled almost all their soldiers from their northern borders. Why do this if NATO is so scary?

That's some deja vu. i'll just repeat what I wrote 2 years ago: If russia wouldn't be such a huge **** to all its neighbors, maybe they wouldn't feel the need to join NATO.

Car delivery task timers are completely bonkers. The tasks are randomly generated and the timer calculation doesn't understand what's going on, so it gives you those weird limits that you will never be able to make. However, as far as I've learned, it only reduces your money reward a little bit, and at this point in the game it really doesn't matter much anymore.

Laser grids are way too energy intensive. It's cheaper to just build turret towers every x distance along the border. Slap some sensor suit on them and let them waste everything that steps into their kill zone.

I'm still up for shooting people into the sun.

Saw that too, but the ratings are atrocious. Maybe that's why it landed on Steam as well.

Wow, are the sales dropping so hard that they finally put a game out on Steam? Looks like Diablo slow but steadily done for as a franchise.

Probably not going to happen at this point. Personally I'm just happy that stealth got fixed. I remember when playing the first time that saving in an enemy hideout was a bad idea, since on reload you could trigger the detection and your cover is blown. Started another playthrough yesterday. Went with the new "start at level 15"-option but instead of going right into Phantom Liberty, decided to do some more leveling first due to the level scaling with the item drops. Made it to level 26 already now. Goes quite fast, don't even have to do much for it. Just some gigs here and there, some side tasks, etc. and done. What I found out from doing this ... making money is a lot easier now. It took me like 1 or 2 hours until I had my first 100k eddies. Went to a ripper doc to start upgrading my gear. Could pretty much pick whatever I wanted since I had the spare change. Right now I'm hovering at around 100k again ... no need to upgrade cybergear again now, in 5 levels I'll get better stuff anyways. And this brings me to another point ... ... there is no reason to buy any weapon in stores anymore. Unless it's some iconic item, just forget it. You can't upgrade regular items anymore anyways, so in just a few levels later you will find something that does more damage and it costs you nothing. The game throws those weapons at you with every ganger you'll blast to scraps. Better to save the money for buying cars, clothes, and cyberwear, like god intended. Because of the level scaling. I can now pretty much do any task at any point. Before the 2.0 update. I had to carefully evaluate which task to pick and which to skip for now ("check the skulls") ... now I'll just do whatever is closest to me. It's like grinding down a checklist. Not sure if I like that. It also explains why I'm advancing in levels so fast. There's no point in the selection anymore, just do whatever is nearby. Saves lots of driving time through the city. One more thing... Is it just me or is the radio barely noticeable? First it seems the audio is quite low, even though I maxed it out. Second, I rarely manage to listen to a single song, since my travel time is usually super short. Those news announcements etc. feel kinda sparse as well. Even with the new Sasha Grey radio station. Barely ever hear anything out of it. Generally I think the radio is ok, but gotta say even the million years old Vice City did radio channels better. Anyways.. just some thoughts from someone who has sunk a crapton of hours into the game since last week.

I gave up on non-lethal weapons. If I need someone to survive, I'll stealth-strangle them. With the cyberpsychos I track their HP and try to not shoot them too much when they are about to die.

Well, you can always break them down to extra crafting materials. It's pretty much how I was able to get all my important weapons and implants to ++ state.

Yeah, makes no sense to me. Truth told, I wouldn't even care if all my gear resets to tier 1. I just want to keep my clothes and weapons, that's all. Now on a second playthrough I can't really enjoy it, because I feel forced to grind asap to get the cool stuff again. And once I got my cool stuff again, like half the games content is already finished.

Ok, finished the main game as well again. This time I went with Panam. Have to say it feels like this is probably the "best" ending. Or rather, the one with the most happy endings. Really sucks that there is no NG+. Kinda want to play the game from start again, but having to assemble all clothes and gear again ... bleh.

Yeah, noticed that too. Some scenes have surprisingly few frames. It's like "hey, the first thing was very popular, let's make a new thing! ... But with half the money, ok?!"

I recently replayed Mankind Divided and there's always alternative ways of dealing with the boss. In Cyberpunk it always ends in you slugging down on a bullet sponge. At least in the new update it feels a little more dynamic due to the random weak spots that show up, but still.

Damn, playing vanilla gigs after Phantom Liberty now is such a let down. Almost every side-mission is so short and simple, and half the time it's very samey. In comparison, gigs in Dogtown are full blown missions with multiple choices and actual consequences. Thanks to level scaling they aren't even hard. I just steamroll everything. Have to say, generally not that big a fan of the level scaling. Either it's too easy now, or too hard. And depending on your difficulty setting every combat encounter is like that. Played on Hard for a while, which make the sandbox interactions a little more interesting, but as soon as you hit a boss fight, they are just incredible bullet sponges that suck all the fun out of me. You know, thinking of it, I'm really missing some Deus Ex elements in the game. Where's my ventilation duct to walk around in, where's my alternative path to tackle boss fights, etc. etc.
