Too Many Side Jobs

[SendU2Jesus]

Love the game actually (at least a lot more than most people). Been playing CD Projekt games since the start. And every other game since the 80s. I like the phone call system, but there are simply too many Side Jobs coming in at once to even remember or do in time to remember the ones stacking up. On the way to one job I get 2 calls coming in. I literally am going as fast as I can and I have like 20 side jobs and 2 main jobs. These should have been streamed in a little more spaced out. 5 side jobs doesn't make one's head spin, 20, you start to get lost and a bit detached.

Now Rachael from the Messiah Suicide side quest is calling me *not 5 minutes* after she just told me to very seriously get lost at the sit down lunch. Guess the phone system sped her recovery time up a bit. Now she loves me and I'm doing more new side quests, split off from the other 20 side quests that I wasn't able to deny or not hear at the time either. It's not that it's too much content... just don't shove it down peoples throats.

don't have to do em "as fast as you can", none of them are timed.

My Mom would say something like this when I was a kid, about Brussels sprouts. I will convert it into gaming terms. "Please don't complain when a video game gives you more content. There are kids in Ethiopia who have never even seen a video game."

The only fans that complain about getting more of the product they are fans of. Movies Fans and Game fans. SMH

Nothing is ever good enough. Its either too much content, not enough content, or not enough of the content that the player wanted to play, vs. the content the player doesn't care about playing. And game designers are supposed to know exactly what content each hard core player will care enough about to want to play NG +++++, without pissing off all the casual players who want to finish a game in 25 hours.

Such entitled A$$hats we've become.

Wish I could send all you basement dwelling whiners back to the 80's and 90's and hand you a Nintendo controller with two F'ing buttons and tell you enjoy this game where all you do is play a plumber who jumps on top of Turtles and Mushrooms, and another game where you are a Ninja who constantly falls to your death when a Pigeon from hell knocks your Ninja Gaiden'd A$$ right out of the damn sky. Or maybe take you back in time to the feeling of wonder and absolute freedom the first time you experienced a true 3D game, where you could go in more directions than just side ways.

You know what was awesome about the dawn of gaming. You were thankful that the game existed at all. That someone created something so awesome for you to enjoy, and sometimes hate, but in the end you were still thankful to have it, because until that point you only had movies, and books, and poking your friends with sticks and pretending it was a rifle bayonet.

Please for the love of all that was once pure and good in this world. Don't complain about too much content.

took me 140 hours to do all the side jobs up to the beginning of ACT 2. Now I am 20 hours into the main quest line there are still side quests popping up here and there lol.

In another thread folks are complaining that the game is too short and there's not enough content.

Make your mind, people.

Or you can pick and choose what to do, and take your time instead of rushing it. To to be fair, there should be a way to disable them and you re-enable them as you choose to. So even tho they stack on, your not looking at that waypoint all the time when you do not want to do anything at that moment. Includes main story line too. this way you can look into other things on your own pace instead of looking at the yellow doted line, then the white dotted line, getting confused.

I think my main complaint would be the spacing of the phone calls after you reach a state in the game that unlocks new content. It's easy to complete a main quest mission and then get 5 phone calls in a row. Or you get phone calls in the middle of combat, most of the time V hangs up but I've had a couple of fights where the conversation kept going.

That said I really enjoyed some of the side quests, in particular the Raymond Chandler Evening quest had me laughing at Johnny's commentary. There are also a few quest chains, although sometimes you have to pay attention to emails and shards to see the connections (e.g. the conflict between the Valentinos and 6SG because of a Romeo and Juliet romance has about 6 missions). The reactivity could be better, e.g. if you complete a job by killing everyone instead of being stealthy like the client wanted, it would be nice to see the Fixer cancel additional contracts with you etc. As it is, you probably get more loot and XP by killing everyone in a mission as opposed to sneaking around to get the extra reward.

I love that there is alot of side quests. I hope that they add repaetable random spawning quests also just so the fun never has to end

Read what you quoted. They are not saying there is too much content or that the game is too long. They are saying the way that content is delivered is too chaotic, which is definitely true with all the phone call spam from just walking a couple blocks down the street.

Side jobs don't expire anyway, just keep an eye on the journal.

There is at least 1 side mission that will expire if you don't meet with the giver after they give you a call.

There is also at least 1 other side gig that will disappear if you don't do it prior to another mission.

[sling_shot]

blu jobs don't expire. yellow stuff does, yeah

[Markus Reese]

I wouldnt have minded trading off some side missions for more main missions, or more significant chained side mission.
