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 😂
