Cyberpunk 2077 Grieving Thread

I would have much rather seen Jackie survive in the game. The camaraderie felt a little forced at first but he would have been a more interesting romantic option than the other choices, if I'm supposed to give a shit about that. Going to visit Jackie's mom would have been a lot funnier if there was a "MY SON IS WHAT??" moment in there instead of the forced sads, IMO.
After he died, I spent a couple days roaming around the city looking for something to do. Two days of unfinished locations later, I got bored and haven't fired up the game since. I think the Panam arc starts where I stopped at, so at some point I'll pick it back up and finish the game. But it just feels so empty.
 
Especially when in the first week it was revealed that the only mission with branching paths is the one where you get the robot with jackie.
Ah, but you forget, many more missions have branching paths! Such as this one mission, where if you kill an NPC you can’t continue the mission or do the subsequent ones. Or another mission, where if you kill an NPC you can’t continue the mission or do the subsequent ones. Or another mission...
 
Tl;dr: Basically everything we already thought/knew. Announced too early, release date was way too fucking early, game had a lot less development time than was needed, spent way more fucking money on marketing than actual development, executives scrapping original plans, and adding more and more things despite not enough time, poor management, experienced developers left, blatant false advertising, and crunch time out the fucking ass.
Honestly all that boils down to one simple problem that killed the game; bad management.
 
Nah, Montreal has a toxic culture that poisons fun and would fuck over game development of honest Polacks who do not care for political extremes.

Any and all Canadians must be gulag'd.
Having been to Montreal, it's exactly what I expected.
Filthy city, rude stuck up their own ass people, ffs they toppled and decapitated the statue of Canada's first prime minister because he was white.

It's the eastern most West Coast city in North America.
 
After reading that patch, this game is dead. They don't plan on fixing it or doing anything major to it. They're clear that they want to move as far away from it as possible. That's not a fucking patch, that's a small bunch of hotfixes. They worked on it for two fucking minutes and then pushed that out. Do they seriously expect people to swallow that garbage?
It’s Daikatana but worse imo. At least Romero had good reason to have an ego at that point, and has never not been endearing.

They should have kept the "rags to riches through crime" storyline with Jackie. Johnny Silverhand was both boring and obnoxious.
keanu's inability to emote doesn't help either.

the whole plebbit sucking jackie's dead cock is because of the VA which does a really good jooj, however romancing jackie is retarded, dude is supposedly to be your super best fren till the death and shit. during the retarded prologue you can see the animations are the same and jackie/V's relationship is basically of two people helping eachother to get out of whatever condition they are in, buying their first guns, v going buying it's apartment... you know, the prologue bits THAT COULD BE PLAYABLE but aren't and move like some fast-forward shit...

this:

the whole padre relationship goes fucking nowhere, when you meet him both characters act like they hardly knew eachother... my fucking sides!

ayy BAFTA decided not to embarass itself and pretend they should be taken cereausly by not giving cyberjank an award

but they still nominated cyberjank though which breakes their silly pretentious mask.

I agree that part felt very...forced. THIS WILL BE YOUR BEST FRIEND IN THE GAME. THIS IS WHY.
I just felt like he was the only one I would bang IRL. :sighduck:

They also nominated cyberpunk for best narrative. Maybe I’m of the minority opinion but I honestly didn’t think the story was good even with the prologue. The dialogue was fantastic and characterization between Jackie, that goth chick, and panam was pretty enjoyable, but the whole story was pretty rushed and underwritten with lots of details that either made no sense or were poorly communicated.

What's written is actually pretty high quality but it's pretty clear it's about a third of what was originally planned and hastily given an ending.
 
I think if they were going to kill him regardless, Jackie should have died in the second act, his death comes way too early.
if anything they could also use jackie as a carrier for the chip, but noo Fallout 3 gayass sacrifice narrative had to be forced by the riters, we couldn't even backstab dex with the hooker chick even though it was implied we could, warning dex gives you some extra cash and not warning him does FUCK ALL.

you're lucky i'm not a true and honest fan because the farms can only be supported by cryptos because i would deviant your horny ass so hard you'd ask for me to do it harder, what pisses me off is that section could be playable and it would be more lore filler for the players to feel attached to V.

eh they just recycled the witcher 3 riters if anything, it has a ton of filler though, just like in the witcher 3 ironically...
the VA was decent enough.

i'm with you, the story is not that good at all for a Original Character Donut Steel™ narrative. they added jhonny and the whole cucking of the character arc is just goddamn shitty if you read the whole background of the cyberpunk world, V could be easily cured of his condition because tech AND keep his soul instead of becoming a veggie with a AI in the driving wheel.
