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.

        Lmao the thing with the car is a pain in the ass but I find it funny you’re complaining about talking at a funeral for what was a main character for the first hour or so. If you want more pew pew, do gigs and the ncpd icons.
