The game is really bugged on certain systems, 5900x 3080Ti and game runs flawlessly then you start combat and the game hard freezes and completely freeze your computer forcing you to hard restart your PC if you can't ctrl+alt+del in time. Looked on reddit, a month old post with 38 replies everyone bugging in there, with people with 9800X3D and 5090 suffering stutter, hard freeze and more. And I was just getting into it starting to have fun.
Game looks good but even on a beast of a computer you will still crash to desktop. Crafting system is pretty much gone, everything just needs to be upgraded now... You just find basic items named tier 1 to 5. Parts of the story where you play as Johnny that are scripted have not been tested properly on very hard 3 years later... Having to turn down the difficulty just for a bugged part is annoying. When you are leaving the building as Johnny and you get in your car with the guy who drives you around, before you can even start moving the 3 cars behind you with enemies inside can kill you before you even have the control back of Johnny. Multiple times I've just told myself: Nope they didn't test this part on very hard and it shows. I tested 2 builds so far. Quickhack build with most of the best implants for it. Sandevistan + Katana. Both are terrible on Very hard and not because of the trash mobs they just die very quickly (2-3 katana hits mostly or Silence + Overheat for quickhacks). The Bosses are the problem. Bullet sponges, all of them. They also decided that players shouldn't have fun anymore and System Collapse doesn't do what system collapse was meant to do. Now it cost even more ram than before (28 or something on legendary, you need to dip into your health pool) but not only that, it doesn't hurt bosses at all! It just stuns them like 3 seconds. Cyberpsychos or bosses are totally unaffected by ultimate quickhacks, why?! Overclocked also barely do anything on very hard, hardly noticeable. I tried killing the Cyberpsycho with the exoskeleton and shield on very hard with my katana and sandevistan at level 41... There's nothing to do man 15+hits later with a tier 5 legendary iconic katana from the beginning and I only had 3% damage done. And he turned around and knocked me on my ass with one punch... I have 16 Body + 14 perks invested in it. Bullet Sponges are so bad There's no git gud here. If your gear or your skills don't matter then why include any it?
