When do I actually get to PLAY this game? - Lemmy.world

Or is the whole game traveling from one spot to another to talk to someone and then a thousand phone calls in-between? I have 12 hours in this game and I’ve only had 3 actual gameplay moments where I got to shoot or fight people. Is this a visual novel pretending to be a shooter? Wtf

I’d recommend delaying quest competition and just go wandering around town and find some fights to get into, get some leveling done, and upgrade your equipment. I find the open world to be more interesting than most quest plots.

See, I was going to do that. I heard act 1 was narrative heavy and to just get through it for the game to open up. Immediately after finishing it, I get in my car and the a.i. taxi service wrecks my car and gives me another quest to do to get it back. Find out after finishing the quest I have to wait for the car to be repaired, so I find online about the quest to get Jackie’s motorcycle, but that leads to the funeral quest with even more talking! Maybe that’s the break point and after I could finally go off and do my own thing but I just got frustrated and quit.

WTF are you saying? That I confused this game for another game? Did all the advertisements for this game not show a ton of action and then just feed me tons of story instead? I understand that there is going to be dialogue and story in this game but right now the ratio of talking to action is like 90/10. I didn’t expect to be playing a football game instead of a shooter or something like your flawed comment leads on.

The story quests are called that for a reason, if you want a break from story, do other quests or other objectives. Story quests will indeed mostly be story, tackle them at a pace you want to do them at, just keep in mind if you do all the story quests, the game will be over at that point.

That’s crazy. Del wrecking my car normally was in the first hour or two of the 3 playthroughs I’ve done. I’m not sure I could find 20 hours of content before that part, let alone 100

I like to take my time and enjoy games. Not just a flavour of the week that I try and rush through. Exploring and finding all the interesting stuff. I started my first game as nomad, so I didn’t even make it into the city until 4 or 5 hours in.
