Am I missing something or is the gameplay supposed to be so dull?

its not hard

I'm not saying it's hard
I'm saying it's just boring and asking if I'm missing anything. I feel a lack of damage and I don't see any way to increase it
I don't even remember dying from enemies, only from falling from a height because of my stupidity

If you equip two smgs and just switch between them with this you could just keep firing without reloading. Sounds fun

There is absolutely nothing special or interesting about fallout's shooter mechanics, nor farcry's, and cyberpunk is inarguably ahead of fallout's combat mechanics by just about a fucking landslide in complexity. The two aren't even comparable and yet you clearly favor the one that's actually even less engaging but easier to beat as it practically aims and kills shit for you.

And yet, shooting shit in cyberpunk isn't even the focus of the game, it's a side to the main course. I don't understand, if you can slog your way through fallout's "story" and "combat" how the fuck is cyberpunk actually filtering you? Do "you" just make decisions and hold opinions based on herd consensus or something? Did you want everyone to suck your dick and go, "WOW ur SOOOOOO right, cyberpunk is soooooo lame and gay and BORING hehe"

It's a completely unbalanced console walking sim and has been since release. None of the skills worked properly so they deleted them all and filled the game with even more ineffectual but less obviously broken skills

click on enemy head

profit

Not that difficult, you don't need any perks or skills, I'm playing on hard and enemies go down in 1 revolver headshot

how the fuck is cyberpunk actually filtering you?

Who the fuck said cyberpunk is filtering me? I just find it very dull and frustrating

1 revolver headshot

Well I don't use revolvers you fucking retard

Anon, you just have a low iq..

What part of "click on enemy head" don't you understand?

Let me explain it to your retarded brain
I click on enemies heads but they die too slow
Is that really so hard to understand?

Have you tried using grenades, quickhacks or changing weapons? If that doesn't work then lower the difficulty to easy

this

it's a side to the main course

What is the main course?

Linear story
Cyberpunk is closer to Sony movies than Ubisoft or Bethesda games

People do not play cyberpunk 2077 because they love its shooter mechanics. They play it to go through the story and maybe play dressup sex doll simulator judging by the threads and mod discord channel. The game does not have challenging shooter mechanics, a lot of people just set everything to easy and blow through the combat because they don't care about the combat and only go through the motions to get to stuff that's actually relevant and interesting for them.

If you are not interested in the story or setting, nor even playing dressup doll simulator, and you just want really good shooter mechanics, I have to seriously wonder why the fuck you bought cyberpunk 2077 and not halo or another farcry or the new doom or something. You know, games where the central focus and fun is explicitly on shooting things to death.

it's not the shooting and if you think it was or should be, you're a fucking idiot playing the wrong game

Ok, thanks
I absolutely don't give a shit about the story and gameplay is pretty meh so I'll drop the game
We really need more cyberpunk games

I click on enemies head and they die practically instantly and I play the game on the hardest settings.

I actually have modded enemies added to the game who can't simply die from clicking heads forcing me to think about things like using my grenades, quick hacking enemies to make them vulnerable or soften them or groups of them up, and using cover and stealth to not die.

it's no planetside 2 in terms of skill required or fun had, but it's marginally more interesting for me than blowing through all the combat and enemies like they're not there

I only play for the looting and shooting, I don not care about the story or armor/clothing options

Also, this is how many hours I've played. Again, not because I enjoy the story. I just like the gameplay.

I'm not very far in but I agree with OP. The only time the shooting felt good was a small section where I got to play as Johnny in Arasaka tower blowing gooks away with his handcannon

Remember how hyped we all were? What a shitshow

this is further confirming my suspicion that a lot of people think "good shooter" means "click an enemy and he dies instantly". Guys like you would probably piss money into my pocket if I made one of those old arcade on-rails shooters with the player-character quipping one liners after each instakill

I was moderately hyped but that was only because I didn't play the witcher

nah, you don't have any skills and you probably have poor taste in art and guns. It wouldn't be that easy.

No, "good shooter" to me means impactful shooting mechanics with good feedback. Not magdumping brainless idiots while little numbers spill out of their head

Heres the game you actually want: youtu.be/U6bbpPL5vkk?si=s0fBxq7SVN7BLJmY&t=30

Just turn the game to easy then retard

idk im level 12 and oneshotting everyone with stealth headshots with my silenced pistol

I didn't care much but I had this one friend that re-watched the original trailer non-stop

you probably have poor taste in art and guns.

you can't find a way to become a cybergod in the easiest cybergod game there is. you're being filtered.

you can't find a way to become a cybergod in the easiest cybergod game there is

So name it
Give me a way to do more damage with my smg

Seems like a skill issue to me. Last time i was playing the game by the end i was shredding waves of 30+ enemies for the duration of a single sandevistan.

People do not play cyberpunk 2077 because they love its shooter mechanics

what? cyberpunk is one of the most satisfying shooter I've ever played. granted you have to either use a hard-core mod or hold yourself back to make the game engaging but the shooting itself is really really fun

cyberpunk is one of the most satisfying shooter I've ever played

lol
lmao

Yeah, I loved it. It's like a less shitty version of EYE Divine Cybermancy. A game I used to love before Cyberpunk 2077 came along.

i actually think that cyberpunk has really fun shooting. the shooting in this game feels game, way better than any other open world game.

m8 everything you say just sounds like "I want it to look flashy, be funny/awesome, and easy to beat". Nothing you've said yet has implied you have any kind of taste nor care for actual gameplay mechanics in a shooter. You sound exactly like the kind of guy who'd just repeat "Halo sucks" over and over.

How about you try and describe a specific shooter mechanic that you really like, something you feel is very important to the gameplay mechanics of shooters and even better if it's something most shooters don't do but you think they should.

You're not helping your case by suggesting shitty games, bud. You're just confirming what I said.

not going melee

There's your problem.

ok buddy I can't call you a retard without knowing what's your favorite game, so what is it?

it's not the shooting and if you think it was or should be, you're a fucking idiot playing the wrong game

doesn't answer the question

is hostile for no apparent reason

Touch synthgrass, choom

post your favorite shooter.

headshots

He can't, hes a fatlus fan.

I suspected as much, but I want to see how dumb he actually is.

an smg isn't gonna kill enemies in a few headshots because it's not designed for that. but if you wanna do more damage you should pick an iconic you like and unlock the perks with synergy with it. there isn't a straight forward increase damage stat so you're gonna have to figure out a gameplay loop that keeps your buffs going

I don't know what you're doing but I can oneshot most enemies with a headshot from a power revolver

Same. He was constantly texting me updates and trailers about the game. I showed him the leaked docs about the devs hating the game and it being shit, and my friend didn't believe me. The look of devastation on his face when the game crash and burned was priceless. Poor guy never believed in anything ever again kek

leaked docs about the devs hating the game and it being shit

I don't remember that, when was this?

I'm not suggesting any games, I'm asking you to start backing up your shit talking by giving us some idea you have any fucking clue you know what you're even talking about in the first place and aren't just another bobbleheaded retard regurgitating and repeating whatever you think the herd wants to hear.

If you like shooters, then you can name specific gameplay mechanics that make them fun to you, can't you? You actually understand what you like, right? You don't just operate on vague feelings like some emotional woman, and instead you understand what various mechanics and design choices in shooters are doing and aiming for and can explain why you like one over another choice in a rational and intelligent way, surely?

I'm not asking for the name of a game, but of specific mechanics, things that some game or other has done right when maybe the rest of the game even sucked. What is it about certain specific shooter mechanics that you find particularly appealing and describe why you think it's important.

If you can't do this then I'm putting you firmly in the poseur-who-talks-shit-because-he-wants-to-fit-in camp. You don't even know what you want or what you like. Flashy garbage and pithy one-liners with instakills where you don't have to express effort or skill is clearly your thing - its "Awesome and Fun" like your friends and the advertiser said, and that's all you can articulate or understand.

the game is just shit
first people gaslighted themselves by saying "its one the bugs! Game is actually great if they fix it!"
then the same but when anime happened
the game is just extremely mediocre, lot of cut content, bad writing, and extremely poor gameplay. They somewhat fixed progression with the update but thats about it

also, what game FUCKING SCALES ATTRIBUTE REQUIREMENTS WITH YOUR LEVEL FOR FUCKS SAKE
what kind of a fucking assbackwards logic is this? Imagine overleveling a bit and putting few points into strength only to find a basic fucking door that requires 18str to open

This was a few months before the game came out, newfag. Most people didn't think it was real since there were so many scathing comments from the devs in there, but once the leaked gameplay matched up with the real gameplay, everybody lost hope for a good game. Naturally, most of it got buried under the heaps of shazam posting and CP fans killing themselves live on stream like the good ol' days of Anon Babble.

sounds like made up nonsense
your dad works for nintendo too?

I use the highest DPS weapons available to me but enemies still require 1-2 full mags to die

Have you tried aiming for the head?

Well, I made up the live suicide thing(I think). But failure to know anything else on your end is just your newfag showing, like I suspected lmao.

one of the most sold games of the decade.

It do be like that, seethe more anti-cyberpunk fags.

i feel like a lot of people dont understand how to use automatic weapons. you're not gonna kill them in a shot or two. you just have to keeping shooting at them. yes it is going to use more bullets than a pistol but thats the point. auto weapons have their own advantages, such as how they stagger enemies and require less precise aiming. a lot of people seem to use automatic weapons in the same way they use a pistol and get confused why its not working. generally assault rifles are good at longer ranges, SMGs good at shorter ranges.

bro just play the DLC its great

the DLC in question

(these were all taken within 1 hour)
and lets not forget the main mission that requires you to do fucking side missions

Show us the build

Cyberpunk makes Fallout look like amateur hour. don't do that. lol

it sounds like you're still less than 6 hours into the game.

enemies require 1-2 mags to die

this sounds like a you problem, not the game's problem

The actual shooting as in sustained gunfights in this game is pretty bad. I found it pretty fun though when you use a build that doesn't require you to mag dump enemies. I've heard other people liked using crazy hacking builds, my build was a one-shot handgun Sandy build.

Their cope just sounds like insanity at this point. Which is fine, Anon Babble has plenty of insane people so that isn't out of ordinary.

I recommend running it on the highest difficulty but also downloading a damage mod (either a straight multiplier, or just one of the ones that overhauls locational damage entirely).

But also try to keep in mind: dropping dudes in 1-2 shots like they were today's squishy meatbags shouldn't be how it goes in this setting, when everyone's as borged the fuck up as they often are (remember the dude in the E3 trailer deflecting a couple off his dome?). I don't recommend going for anything that dials the damage up too much... just enough to make "mag dumping" unnecessary (but I guess it's your game, mod it how you want).

But also try to keep in mind: dropping dudes in 1-2 shots like they were today's squishy meatbags shouldn't be how it goes in this setting

Yeah, I think they even say it in the game. Something about pain editors and shit. Warning people that by using the mods they could be if dying when severely injured but not even realize it. Never thought 1-2 taps made sense when that type of tech is out there.

You're missing something lol

as a stealth chad idk what you're talking about

But enough about Dark Souls vs Elden Ring

lol westacuck felt attacked

I played with a revolver on very hard and everything died from 1-2 hits to the head

you didnt play the game

Am I right Netrunner/Smartgun chud?

Shut up, weeb.

you played the game even less bro you just click the same combos in a menu

What are you talking about, I did a solo run and obliterated everyone with one or two point blank shotgun shots.
The perk tree bonuses are insane in fact.

Neither of those missions are part of the DLC. Top is the dating sidequest and bottom is Kerry's storyline.
PL only has one mission where Reed tells you to wait one day.

The aldecaldos mission you just snipe everything from 100 yards away, the npcs dont even shoot back. Game is ez af

Did you get sniper perks right?
Whenever I tried to sniper, the whole map always point me out

I dunno, I use LMGs and enemies get shredded almost instantly for me.

malorian 3516 chads where we at

I remember. I then remember wondering why eveyrone was upset about the bugs when the game itself was designed to be shit. Fucking borderlands in a city bullshit.

I'm oneshotting everyone with pistols and shotguns. You're doing something wrong

doest go for crits

doesnt hack enemies to weaken them

doesnt use guns based on their weakness

It took me several days to complete and nothing stuck with me, my only memories are a few "funny" lines from keanu reeves, I remember fuck all else about the game
3/10 overrated slop with way, WAY too many niggers

Came here to say this. Shotguns blast people over and randomly (often) insta-kill and pistols get insane headcrit damage. The rest of the guns are a bit stinky, though late game maxxing strength and wading into fights to beat people with each other is also a good time.

the problem is that damage increases for SMGs/Assault Rifles don't come until very late in the skill tree. You need at least 15 reflexes to get any damage increase, in the form of sharpshooter perk and the other perks that provide armor penetration and higher crit chance. The other gun types, like pistols, get their damage bonuses much earlier.
