CDPR Managed to destroy the game with 2.1!

[Wyntflex]

Rant incoming, I have been getting more and more frustrated with the game since 2.0 and here are some of my problems with 2.1 as well:
- After 2.1 patch I Crashed 2 times while opening the game. I never crashed like this during my 400+ hrs of playtime. Gives us a downgrade version option, cause I wanna downgrade to 2.02, I hate this patch.
- Video Settings were shuffled around yet again for no reason.
- Still no FSR 3 of course. I mean why would they add something useful, when they can add useless things like changing then Cursor in the Menu.
- Worse performance.
- Sandevistan was nerfed while Adam Smasher was given a Sandevistan. CDPR really hates the Sandevistan... Before 2.0 it was a game changer, when you finally got it and added cooldown mods to it you felt undefeatable. It was unbalanced yes, but you didn't have to use it, and you really felt like you were the legend of Night City. Then 2.0 came and they nerfed all of them, but they were still usable. But now the Militech Apogee Sandevistan which was pretty much the best one, was nerfed to a laughable 6 seconds of slow down time. So sandevistan is pretty much just a gimmick now...
- Which leads me to my next point, 2.0 completely destroyed Perks. Before 2.0 Perks were simple to understand and use, CDPR remade perks in such a way that they are useless 80% of the time and useful 20% of the time. For example I liked Shotguns, and before 2.0 I had points on increased shotgun damage and crit, now if I want increased shotgun damage I need to melee and then shotgun which is stupid. Or the hilarious 2.0 nonsense perks like "After entering combat you get an (X) percent boost to (Y) for (Z) seconds"... That makes no sense, and nobody asked for that, we want constant stat boosts not some very rare occasion boost which makes no difference in combat.
- Weapon mods are mostly useless now, there are only a few that make a real difference.
- Clothing mods were destroyed completely, there is absolutely no difference between Common and Legendary clothes. Back then legendary clothes had a lot of slots that's why you wanted them, or they gave you a lot of armor. But now there is no difference. Only a few clothes give stat boost, and even those are laughable. For example I found a Bulletproof Helmet, and I thought to myself maybe this gives me bullet resistance, and it turns out it gives melee damage resistance, and I just had to facepalm on that. At this point I'm pretty sure CDPR is trolling us.
- With 2.1 NCART doesn't even work properly. I walk to the entrance and I can't enter it, there is no other option other than fast travel. Even if I wait 5 minutes for the train nothing happens.
- Jump sound changed... Like why would you do that? The new sounds are horrible. Same with the Porsche 911 after 2.0. Before 2.0 the 911 sounded similar to a 911 but also futuristic, now it sounds like a turbocharged vacuum cleaner. There was no need for changing the sounds.
- None of my mods work anymore, I have to wait for them to be updated again.
- And of course the Casino is still unfinished, and probably will never be finished.

Stop changing the game where it doesn't need any change!!!
I don't want to relearn everything with each patch or completely change my build to make it work again because something was nerfed yet again for then 77th time. This is not Fortnite where you have to balance everything to make it competitive. The game just needs to be fun, and if fun means making a build which is pretty much unbeatable then let it be. Let us decide how we want to play the game. Stop taking the fun away form us CDPR!

It doesn't work... It's glitched out. Even after reloading, even if I go back to earlier saves, it just doesn't work.

Did you read the text message and got the card?

No, that's the problem I don't get the NCART text, nor the card. I played for like 2 hours and nothing happened. I watched videos where the guy gets the text after like 5 minutes of play, then V takes out the card and looks at it and then NCART is usable...

I don't get the text, nor the card no matter what I do or how long I play, no matter how many times I reload or what save I go back to. Not only that but I realized that the on foot radio doesn't work either...

Mostly agreeable. I like shotguns, but don't use any perks for them. They are just plain useless.

Tech weapon perks? That timing bolt thing is a bad joke.

Smart weapons? They are a joke in general. Anyone from dev team actually tried used Skippy in pacicist mode? I damn bet no. The thing is, people have 2 legs. And Skip always trying to lock on a closest leg. So when target moves, it constantly switches a leg to lock on, so it never actually gets a lock on. Also, enemies definitely know how long it takes for you to lock on, so when they peek from cover they hide back juuuust before you get a lock on. As a result, they only work when target stands still on open. Also, on lower level (until 30 or so) theit accuracy is abyssmal, so they miss 80% even when target actually is on open and not moving. And on top of that, it for some reason depends on stamina.

AR/SMG perks are only ones wich actually do some useful and cool stuff.

Sandevistan is a cool idea, but they are nerfed to oblivion. But enemies can use it at will.

Weapon mods? I never use them. Non-iconic weapons due to tier system always feel temporary, and only a very few iconic ones have mod slots.

And yes, new sounds are awful.

Agree with everything you wrote!

Shotguns were my favorite before the nerfs, I activated Sandevistan with the Sovereign or the Igla, dashed in front of enemies and then one shot them. But shotguns are just too weak now, at least on Very Hard difficulty they are. Anything under very hard they are still usable. But the nerfs made it so that a Tier 5+ Igla with dismemberment chance mods, and almost every shotgun perk I can get struggles to one shot enemies with headshots.

Agreed. Pop youtubers and CDPR forum whiners crying about "muh balance" when chasing perfect balance is boring. They brought the nerfs, in a futuristic, augmented human, powerporn, singleplayer game.

Combat is starting to feel bland like other games. :/

Good, as I see it, one rants, but clearly there is more information not given.

- Playing on VERY HARD
- Did not get the Card for metro, possibly by bug not getting text message on phone (or did not see it)

What else is missing here 'justifying the rant'?

I fully support you chumba, they destroyed all the good implants and finishing moves with this patch (they stopped working)
