Cyberpunk 2077 Grieving Thread

  • The drops/shops inventory is based on level now not Street Cred. Street Cred is mainly for vendor discounts and events/ certain gigs to trigger, like the Quadra? in Nashes cave needs 40 Street Cred and Saul saved. At level 35 ( maybe sooner) you start getting Tier 5 drops infrequently and goes up as you level and at 40 all shops should have Tier 5 items in them. I never did check to see if at 50 the stores would carry Tier 5+ after PL dropped. Max upgrade with PL is Tier 5++.
I guess the EXP reward from gigs got also a change. Drops can be T5+, stores only got normal T5's. A heads up: You can mark text in a post and a pop-up should appear. There you can reply to the text passage you marked.
I've always felt like CDPR is overrated, that they lucked into success with a good IP in the form of The Witcher, and nothing about Cyberpunk has changed my mind. Fucking pollacks can't do anything right.
Don't worry, they'll fuck up this too. But at least people now know to look for red flags, if they're not retarded to preorder shit in a heartbeat. But in the current absolute state of gaming that's wishful thinking. Always remember:

Speaking of, I guess it now makes sense you can kill Adam smasher p easily considering what you get post-DLC and how comparable those iconics are to your current ones.

An angry pseudo-construct piloting his corpse like some sort of mech isn't really a match for the literal blackwall or it's fuckoff gun.
Also yeah DLC keanu reeves is a lot better, I guess it was a script issue and not a chungus issue.

Yea the rewards for gigs also had level scaling, I never got 6k money as a reward from Watson gigs.

Yea they ended the Witcher series really well so if they thought the hype for CP2077 was bad imagine how bad it will be if you ruin all your work from 3 when you make 4. But people are stupid, after Andromeda people are still hyped for the new ME game.....

PS: Yea I tried replying to your post, wasn't highlighted/wouldn't let me. So I improvised.

It was worse in 1.0, that one quick hack I can't remember the name of which killed enemies instantly used to affect Smasher so you could literally kill him in less than a second while he was still doing a monologue if you had the stats.

That was stupid but funny.

I dread The Witcher 4. It's going to look like W3 and the Netflix slop had a baby I guarantee it, they want that ESG money and hired a million Americans so I fully anticipate random niggers and Asians in fantasy Poland.

A sequel is possible but you'd have to take the brave step of staying away from Geralt, maybe let us make our own Witcher and double down on monster hunting and politicking. They won't do this though I assume we will be stuck playing as Ciri, especially since CD has dropped male V from marketing entirely.

It was the Suicide quickhack before it was fixed IIRC. The Blackwall Gateway quickhack more or less replaced it in PL (because it ignores the health pool if the target is not a boss, otherwise it's a stun with a decent damage buff), but it's pretty disappointing that you can't use it to instantly kill bosses or at least use it as a finishing move for them. Most people playing PL completed this game anyway and I doubt that a ton of people will pay full price for the base game + DLC/Expansion.
Which is 90 bucks now. Check the Steam store page.

That's pretty realistic, I'm afraid. If the catastrophic launch of CP2077 wasn't a reason enough to drop CDPR entirely, this definitely will. I loved the Witcher series.

To be fair, female V is superior in every aspect. And that fucking sucks. Male V's voice is still one of my biggest pet peeves in this game. It was trying to sound too gruff for a young person and it's unnatural, can't blame the VA here and it's probably the fuck-up of the people who did the script/story-boarding. I've rather had a more cocky, clear-sounding male V without the put-on "Solid Snake" voice. The most "natural" sounding conversations were mostly in the side quests.

I completely disagree. This happens every single time one of these games comes out and troons / fags want to justify playing dress up with a female PC. Fem V sounds like she is going to burst into tears or just smoked a bowl in every conversation. Male V isn't perfect but he sounds far more believable for an inner city mercenary who makes his living shooting people. Male V I can imagine making threats and being taken halfway seriously, the only thing I can imagine Fem V doing is whining on Twitter about microagressions. I don't want a 'cocky' male voice like some shit out of the MCU. I want a Merc.

People said this about Shepard too and it was bullshit. Mark Meer is iconic and Jen Hale is phoning it in the whole time.

Fucking true.
Same shit i got with FO4's Male/Fem Voice. Nate is objectively better.

Thanks for the info. I didn't play female V and watched clips of the playthrough with her and it did sound better from a first look. That was my mistake, since I usually stick to playing male characters. Did you a playthrough with female V?

CDPR should've got a different VA then. I don't mean the MCU kind, I got sick of it pretty quickly. "quips" are fucking annoying and reddit-tier shit.

Wholly agree here though I play with a muted PC mod, Nate screaming at Kellogg is full of so much delicious fatherly fury it almost made me regret it.

Female V sounds 'more emotional' is what I always hear and I guess if your definition of good voice acting is 'sad all the time' then yeah I guess so. But in a game where you're going to be cutting back alley deals or violently murdering motherfuckers do you want your PC to sound like a (literal) pussy?

Men and women are naturally different especially in how they act. Female VAs tend to be more depressive and overly emotional but men tend to be gruffer and more in line with what you'd expect of an action videogame protagonist. Especially since 2077 was clearly written with Male V in mind.

He does an excellent job at sounding beaten down and exhausted throughout much of the main story but maintaining enough composure to see the journey through to the end, which is the whole point. Fem V would have given up and stuck an iron in her mouth the day she got diagnosed with Terminal Keanu.

The voice of your POV character does a lot to set the atmosphere. But it's all over the place. The cyberpunk setting is usually more depressing, gritty and cynical, but in this game it's sometimes too up-beat. Whatever, this whole project was and still is a complete mess. Should've got someone else for voicing male V.
 
How do people let Mike Pondsmith get away with it, he is a thieving nigger.
If you read the source books there’s also a lot of we wuz n shit. The more I read into the lore (via the pdf sourcebooks) the more retarded it sounds

Both male and female V voice actors suck but for different reasons. Male V comes across as more shitweasel than cool merc or tough guy. It sounds like he's going to try and sell me a stolen Motorola flip phone from 2001 or some bootleg DVDs of a Chinese knockoff of Marvel movies. With female V it's very obvious she's trying to sound cool but can't pull it off. She has this weird tone that makes it sound like she's doing a bad impression of someone else.

>Wales seperates from England as the rise of The Awakening brings genetic alterations in the populace, the ancient strain of Elf and Dwarf mutation that has long been suppressed in the human race becoming physically manifested for the first time since the Dark Ages. The newly independant nation is named Tir Na Nog.
did the author mix up shadowrun with cyberpunk

The author critiques both cyberpunk and shadow run as noted on top of the webpage.

I swear, this is a problem with most women "created character" protagonists in video games. I've felt this way about Fem Shep and most of the Saints Row female voices too.

They just sound like they're trying too hard to be boss bitches and shit but I guess I get it cause the dialogue is obviously written for men most of the time.

While I normally enjoy a good takedown this felt a bit nitpicky of comparing it all to reality.

'the us engaged in wars after the Soviet Union fell but not against the correct realistic targets'
'the European Union was formed but it acted differently to how it did in the real world'
'the US had riots but for the wrong reasons'

Feels a bit 'hindsight is 20/20'.

The site still looks nice but the links are dead :/
