When you get to the standoff with the saloon owner, nothing works. It says to use "LMB" and look down at your gun to unholster and aim it, but nothing works and I cant look at my gun. I tried everything, even limiting FPS to 30. It was fun up until then but I cannot progress. Even then, I struggled with falling through the map in a few cutscenes, and skipping them was the only way to progress. The Billy sections with the whip/sneaking are just awful. I apprecaite GoG for putting this up and their preserving games, and since this was free I can't really complain much. Just be aware its full of frustating mechanics and bugs and not really playable on modern systems.
I had a great time in Dog Town. The story had some great writing, and the environments..they bleed immersion. I do get the hate towards this game, but its just a game. Its a time killer, really. Playing video games is like being on dialysis. Enjoy it or don't! There are a million other things you can do, like go to the gym or get a girlfirend. Anyways, have fun in Night City!
You know the writing is good when you contemplate all the possibilities real life has to offer. Characters in this game are writing encyclopedias, researching ways to become swarms of bugs, learning the secrets of reality in order to break mortal chains and stick it to the pantheon..dang. The most research I've done recently was the guide to getting the secret ending. Great music, voice acting, graphics and gameplay. I just wish there were less loading screens. I feel like there were 5 hours of playtime spent in a loading screen. Get Toybox if you don't want to waste time resting/buffing(Probably 20 hours of playtime). A few rests for progression are required, but everything else is filler.
To me, the story, quests, writing, characters are worth a thorough play through at least once. Took me around 85 hours to do in one go, all vehicles and quests, which is less than a buck an hour for entertainment. Economics aside, I truly wish the fundemental, juicy RPG game elements were left in/expanded upon, and the world made more interactive. It seems a lot of areas in the game world just lead to a dead end or unused, untapped space that could have been used for at the very least, an easter egg. I'd love to delve into night city night life, but you only get to see it through a window pane most of the time. I will say the city looked beautiful. Lots of character in the design, just no gameplay attached to a lot of it. It's just sad. What happened? Its just a video game I guess. I don't want to think too much about it. I had my fun, there is my 2cents. Have a nice day
I'll be honest; I was skeptical from the top reviews. I am thankful I played it to the end, as the music, ambience and intense situations you find yourself in make it worth it. SPOILER ALERT: The final mission was something else. Disabling that many guards, and accomplishing BOTH objectives in the end was demanding but rewarding. I also LOVE the red light district and attention to detail in that area. The art and graphics are a true treat to behold.
