I've been revisiting anno 2205, infamously the ugly duckling of the Anno series of RTS games. I don't mind so much the fact that it's different, lacks customisation and random map generation - I'm bothered because the game is so slow to progress through on challenge settings, and it feels like a game designed just to artificially waste your time; in other anno games, you can always pull tricks to dig yourself out of economic crisis - selling off assets and surplus goods, completing quests for other parties, or taking loans. 2205 is very very confined in terms of what you can do to financially recover in the early game and forces you into a lot of military events.
Cyberpunk 2077. The game seems so perfect for me, but after 4 hours, dropping it, trying again for 4 hours, it just wouldn't stick.
I do wonder if it was 3rd person if I'd enjoy it more. I tend to love visual environments, and I think the first-person perspective hurts the game (for me).
I think it would make an awesome MMO.
I might have camera modded it to 3rd person. I really had a blast beating it and they keep making it better
I've only seen a VR mod. What 3rd person mod did you use?
Not the OP, but I've dabbled around with this one: https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/669
As far as I know it's the most (only?) developed third person mod for Cyberpunk.
My opinion is it's definitely a mod alright... Not that I think it's the author's fault. It's very clear that your character is using animations built for a first person rig, so you'll be missing a lot of movement from the shoulders to the hips. They tried to make a standard over the shoulder view, but it's locked to the first person camera position without any easing/acceleration, which is super jaring for me.
There do seem to be some related QoL/improvement mods around that might be worth exploring, but I haven't looked into them.
TL; DR: Overall the camera experience was too stiff for it to become my default, but I do occasionally toggle it on while walking from point A to B.
I had a really hard time with the interface. Kept accidentally hitting attack buttons (particularly, that grenade trigger) when I was trying to socially interact. Failing missions because you tickled the wrong button and got the entire screen filled with angry cops really was not my style.
I just rebound the grenade button from middle mouse to a side mouse button. Middle mouse is a dumb default bind for anything.
How dare you, middle mouse is the only acceptable keybind for grenades. Side is for melee.
I have a Logitech g502, so I have 2 extra buttons next to m1 and 3 on the side. Quick melee is always on a side button as well lol. Holding middle mouse to aim grenades always feels awkward to me because of the roll, and that’s always been my first switch to fail on pretty much every mouse I’ve ever owned. I honestly think it’s the single worst physical key to bind an action to in a video game from a tactile perspective.
In super fast paced fps shooters I usually use G, but that’s just because of muscle memory going back to like Half-Life 1/CS1.6. I tried swapping to a side button for my grenades in the finals and it was not viable for me at all lol.
