I can’t remember who, but when this game came out 3 years ago someone on Twitter said the shooting and driving felt like they were developed by a team that had never coded shooting or driving before. Yes, it’s been 3 years of massive updates but I don’t care. The shooting in this game rivals the best FPSes and the driving is incredibly satisfying, diverse, and exciting.
Now, the shooting while driving? That’s just the icing on the cake. Way more fun than any FPS shooting and driving I’ve experienced before including GTA V and Far Cry.
This game is a masterpiece within the FPS genre.
Gonna make a spicy meatball and plant it here: I think the combat while driving is atrocious and clunky. Vehicles don’t handle nearly well enough to support it, the button layout for it on controller is terrible, aiming is a pain in the ass and very unintuitive and janky while you are trying to drive and in every single scenario it’s just easier and more enjoyable to simply get out of the car and engage on foot. I never fight while in a car, it’s that terrible.
This is spicy? Look, update 2.0 fixed a lot of the problems from the original release and I think the game is absolutely worthy of high praise now; I drive around Night City just for chill vibes like I used to in GTA 5. But I’m right there with you that vehicle combat is still downright awful. I have no idea what OP is smoking but I want some, theirs is the real hot take here 😂
Honestly I fell in love with the vehicle combat because it’s hard to control. It’s chaotic, slippery, explosive, and wreckless. That’s why it’s fun! :D
My driving experiences (with controller) completely depend on which car I’m driving, with most of the muscle car being rather soapy.
Quartz Bandit that you get from Rogue is the best in the city at high speeds imho.
Muscle cars do drive soapy, though.
Not sure what you mean. I’ve played the game through every update and, while shooting was always pretty enjoyable (minus some nasty bugs pre-1.2), the driving still blows. They did tweak it a bit but it’s still noticeably bad, especially if you switch between another car game and CP.
Can you give an example of how it blows? I think it feels a lot more responsive and consequently more fun than something like Just Cause 3. Drifting is easy to pull off once you learn how, speed is important to manage, and all the cars have unique handling, acceleration, and weight. I love every time I get into a car.
I think motorcycles are a tad more iffy with the way they spin when you try to pull a tight turn at a high speed, but that’s my only complaint
On PC it’s difficult because the driving isn’t analog but expects an analog signal. That means when you press forward it red lines the rpms.
I got in the habit of playing with a controller connected so I could use it for driving, and the M+K for shooting lol
I sometimes do the same.
