Is it me or the driving in this game its really bad?

[Gonsnakex]

I am trying to drive different cars and it's so difficult to control them properly. I am playing with a controller btw

Each car/truck/bike will all feel diff. Higher end ones will feel much more smooth in terms of control. You won't be able to just gab anything and drive away like a indy car. (this is not GTA)

Depends on the car really, but I play with KBM so I wouldn't know with a controller. Some are really nice, heavy and immersive to drive, while some are so sensitive and slidy.

I get used to controlling them fairly quickly though, as long as I treat them like real life cars. Start slowing down before a turn comes up and no full speed driving in the city or when trying to turn. As long speed is controlled, the cars control nicely. I only go full speed on straights.

People expect cars to behave like in GTA 5 while their handling is actually like in GTA 4.
Thats it really.

But like the others said, it depends on the car. Some cars drive like wet bricks on soap.
There are handful of cars that do handle pretty well though.
The problem is that the cars you get early on are pretty awful.

If you have problems, try some of the offroad cars you get in the badlands. Their handling is fantastic, even on the road.
They are also relatively cheap

It's bad, I don't know why people said the driving redo improved things, the old driving was far more functional. Now, everything that isn't 'heavy' oversteers and grip is merely a suggestion. Only the bikes behave remotely nice.

[Nope]

Probably just me but every car with high power and aren't too heavy have pretty good handling

You are not wrong. Cars especially are difficult since they are bigger and thus more easily collide with things.

Personally I somewhat enjoy driving the Yaiba Kusanagi motorcycle, although I don't like its scripted behaviour when I try to do hard brake turn. The bike will slide but it will always arrive at exactly 90 degree turn from its original heading.

Yes it's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ awful, which is why you should do the following:

Download Vortex Mod Manager and install the following two mods:
https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/1153
https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/210

Make it so that Cyberdrive loads first and handling second, there, you're welcome driving fixed.

Neither is it a good example of driving well done. IRL not even the worst ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ handles like most cars in cyberpunk.

GTA5 driving on keyboard beats cp2077 hundred to one, but of course its an old game series that has been about cars its entire lifespan.

What I particularly don't like about cp2077 is how it "cheats" giving an illusion of something rather than creating an actually functioning game system. Kusanagi's brake turn behaviour is a good example. As is creating lights in the distance to make it appear like there are cars there, even though there arent.

NOPE. It's not you. The cars have awful handling. The motorcycles are the best/easiest to drive. Oh never drive in 3rd person, it's a train wreck. I hope the really fix this in future updates.

[Truth_X_ile]

I bought a motorcycle for like 77K then realized, it wasn't up to standards, so I reloaded a previous save, later I figured out I am being given vehicles for gigs/missions anyways, so I just use those, I used one which had great handling and even got a performance vehicle I use the most and has decent handling as well

All of which my driving is with mouse/keyboard, so it just pertains to your style and control and which vehicle you are using to do your tasks/missions with, of course scripted missions, good luck with that, driving a van on dirt had me whipping all over the place, most common issues when starting to drive, is the delayed input on keyboard, tapping could help stabilize the vehicle better in situations rather than holding

Good Luck & Have Fun

THe cars are actually horrible to control in this game. The Quest The Beast in me is insanely bad. It's mentally draining to use cars in this game.

[wb3jma]

I tend to use motorcycles for exactly this reason they seem to be easier to conrrol.

[ShadowSplit]

Buy Outlaw GTS and have fun. Absolutely the best car there is.

Use the brakes occasionally and don;t try to turn at 120 mph and you will be fine.
