The longer I play (atm ~12h) the more it becomes clear this is style over substance. It's quite shallow and game time is needlessly padded with INSANE backtracking multiple times and no way to shortcut any of it, apart from the metro system which might as well be non-existent.
It also has super annoying stuff in it for no fucking reason. Hey that level 21 guy you can easily kill, but that level 22 guy one shots you no matter what, since he's 6 level above you instead of 5. WHY? Why implement this utter bullshit?
And why have quest markers for quests YOU CAN'T START/FINISH since you haven't unlocked the area throught the main mission yet? But hey let's mark it as "level 2" despite unlocking it at level 10 or something. You can also partially finish a quest, but to "deliver" it, it ends in a random place with no way of closing it... after googling - yep, you unlock the area later... IT'S MENTIONED NO WHERE.
Urgh...
I also frequently encounter bugs. Like I had to fight 2 spider mechs at once... except they didn't die. When I eventually died and tried again... now it's one and he dies... and during a cutscene 2 other spawn and get taken care off... so I somehow triggered those two to show up?! DMG numbers also show up whenever they feel like it.

I'm really enjoying it so far, it's a wildly different game from anything I've played before. Also this has been a bug free experience for me so far, except with some minor sound glitches. Drones, in particular, are very loud in "Small speakers" settings and their sound will just play in a deafening loop in some sections.
Really starting to get into the swing of this on Series S. I'm really starting to like the combat now I've got a good feel for it.
Really having a good time with this one. Playing with another buddy on PC.ade me think of Too Human.
LMAO. YES!
I wanna say there were at least 5? I dunno, it was over in like two seconds so I'm not even sure. That was the first boss that had me reeavaluating my damage types, because it was so much easier once I switched.
Don't know if you are aware, you but you can use the taxi to fasttravel, T on PC or left on the D-pad!
Is there any way to refund the upgrades youve already made on a weapon set, and get the components back?
It's so hard to find more upgrade components, and I'm really wishing I could reallocate all the parts I wasted on useless weapons into the good stuff, like the EBR.

Now that I've upgraded my targeting and weapon handling, I'm having a lot more fun with the game.
But how do you use overcharge? I'm only at level 10, so I assume this is an augmentation that I'll pick up later on.

Difficulty spikes are very prevalent. I feel the game doesn't prepare you for what's coming next. That mech fight being a prime example. I was around level 10 I think at the time. Constantly kept dying. So in frustration I ran directly at the mech and stayed close to it. A random pillar helped too. The mech had to try and path around it. Still took a ton of bullets to bring it down. I imagine this isn't how the encounter was designed to play out. It felt broken.
Now I'm back in the sink and Im being over run by robots. Robots that never previously posed a threat, now suddenly attack. It's a bit confusing.

I had the same issue, the two things that helped me with this area was burst machine gun with homing missiles ( can't recall the names) and most importantly, any energy weapons! Energy are the best with robots! I had an energy shotgun with 1k damage
I had to go google it because I swear it was giving me vibes from Dying Light (I played it this year with the Xbox boost thing) and omg I was right.
Great work.
Loving the game so far! Any suggestions for how to beat the
that has been absolutely rolling me? I worked my way back to the main hub so that I could buy/upgrade anything I need. Part of the problem is probably that I haven't upgraded a gun yet haha.
Spider Mech
Just finished, has been awhile since I've just sat down and played a game for straight through in 1/2 sittings (about 10-12 hrs or so in total). Doubt I'd have played it if it wasn't for gamepass but was an enjoyable game even with the shortcomings such as menu map and navigation for side quests. Plus one of the better looking games this year (even if it is top down and not 3D). Though do feel it might have been 3D at some point in development as cutscenes are 3D etc.
Yeah some of the boss fights/ new areas def had difficulty spikes when not doing the side missions (such as the first spider boss) but after a couple of attempts I could normally get through them.
I ended up settling on the grenade launcher(R23)/ tracking burst em rifle (forgotten name) as my guns. Shooting felt really good and the music was good and fit the vibe well.

Figured that haha, just the regular one that drops before you reach it?
Just picked up the game off of Greenmangaming, it's currently on sale and I used an extra 5% off coupon.
Downloading it now. ;)

I am less encouraged to play this coop because there are so many NPCs and dialog sequences that I usually don't like to skip for games. I feel kind of pressured to jump into the action ASAP with my coop partner instead of exploring cities and stuff, since I know they don't really care. Is the story shitty enough in this that I should just take it as a brainless action game with RPG stats instead of caring about why we are doing what we are doing for missions/story?
I found an energy shotgun , upgraded it to over 1k damage
you absolutely can, since you're basically a mercenary the story is nothing but a series of jobs for various factions…its not that the overall story is shitty, it's just unremarkable and I don't think you're missing much not paying attention to minutiae of it
also, a lot of the story is told to you outside of cutscenes anyway
Yes! Using components. You need to go to a gun smith, not a gun vendor. IIRC each gun type can be upgraded five times with each upgrade costing increasingly more.
It's smoooooooth on Series X. But then again I have a VRR screen so maybe that has helped. 🤷♂️
Ive only tried on Series X - and am only an hour in - but it's fine so far.
I just can't get around the weapon system. There are way too many weapons and a lot similar. I upgraded a lot some weapons who cannot do shit anymore (I didn't know there was elementary tied damages) and so I give up and it takes forever to kill a mob, either by physical, energy or fire damage.
The later.
I haven't had any problems with it. Ultra setting, DX12, RTX on. Playing on a 2080. Looks amazing. No stutter.
Does the Gamepass version even have working RT or is it just a meaningless toggle that doesn't do anything?
DLSS ofc is straight up not available on Gamepass ver.
Is there any reason for this discrepancy? I know the developers post here but don't know if they've said anything.

I played it for an hour and I've had stutters and explosions drop the frame rate by a lot.
Amd 3900x, 3090.
The game was fun enough to look past it for now.
Oh another question (sorry for all my questions but I really find the UI quite confusing at times)...
So when you look at an item in a shop, what does the number under "Items" mean?
For example I'm looking at a module right now and it says "Items 02" with a little backpack looking icon. At first I thought it was how many of that item I have in my backpack but then pressing Y to sell all duplicates on this does nothing and still shows 2.

What? RTX 3080 here and playing in 4K with DX12 stutters like mad (due to shader loading on every new action), RT tanks FPS to 20-30, there is no DLSS to help with that in MS store version. Are you playing in 1080p or just being being obtuse contrarian? What you are saying is NOT what my experience has been or what vast majority of feedback I've seen here or on Steam forums.
your energy (blue bar) is set to 0 if you change it via menu. At least that's how I understand it
Snefer has said multiple times they're working to get DLSS onto game pass but provided no timeline. As for the reason, it is due to each version being a different build of the game and they have limited resources. I assume the RT not working is just a bug, hopefully fixed in the next patch which I think should add the difficulty selector as well. Also stated fixing the stutters on PC is a top priority. Plus all these other progression and game bugs they're trying to fix at the same time. Team is probably swamped.
Game definitely came in hot. I'm just waiting for a patch or two before diving in any more.
They are different builds of the game and patching process is different but intended that there is no disparity between PC versions eventually.
I don't think the game has been patched on gamepass so RT still doesn't work if that is the case.
Finished the game. I only focused on the main quest. Doing the side quests is probably too much for what this game has to offer. I will wear itself out. The main quest was short and sweet. I played with the Dominator and the RPG23.
Everything but the last boss was possible with those, for the last boss I had to lower the difficulty to easy but it was still challending.
All in all, cool game, 7,5/10 (11/10 graphics).

Sorry to say finding this kind of dull. It looks great, but I can't quite put my finger on why it's so dull. only put an hour into it, I think I'll stop though.
checked opencritic page, to see if I was being too harsh, and nope, and saw that it's not exactly scoring well. The gamespot review (6) pretty much nails how I've been feeling about it.

So my pc is melting when i run this on ultra in 4k and with Rtx on (3090) but holy shit does it look good!
I only got one issue, i am from a country that has German as a native language and am playing this on game pass, for some reason part of the game is in English but most of it is in German. Very distancing. How do I change the game to be fully in English?
