Cyberpunk 2077 Grieving Thread

Can we talk about how Fingers is genuinely one of the best characters in the game? The more I think about it the more I realize that weirdly he’s one of the few characters actually helping in Night City.

Judy, Jackie, Judy’s Whore Friend Who Slept With Arasaka, and even V are all terrible people. Fingers on the other hand is helping the community, sex workers and addicts predominantly but it’s also hinted that he kits out the Mox gang.
 
Wanna talk about strange bullshit?

I booted up Cyberpunk 2077, with the phantom Liberty dlc on it

Turns out the game uninstalled phantom Liberty. Talk about Polack junk

This shit pisses me off.
DRM - except the fine print says "you will own nothing, and be happy"

TL;DR
Netflix blocking 4k content - unless you conform to their hardware standards.
Sony just announced an incoming yeet of all stored Discovery content off users machines.

Yo. Ho. Ho.

Pondsmith has stated that there are no heroes in Night City. Sometimes the most unexpected people you receive as evil are actually just normal people who’re trying to get by. I personally hated fingers though.

Cyberpunk 2077 is very ironic. Ironic in the sense that corporate greed (CDPR aka greedy Polacks) produced a half assed product at launch. And now new glitches keep popping up where suddenly the DLC I paid money for is now wiped from the map.

It’s all so tiresome

He molests his clients while they're under anaesthesia, sells people into snuff films and buys cyberware from scavs who tortured people to death for snuff films. A corporate ripper is probably more morally just than him. Parker was shit but he isn't somehow moral.
 
Cyberpunk was in development for the better part if a decade. Saying it didn't have enough development time is pure cope.
Apparently it got scrapped and restarted on multiple occasions, with a complete change in its overall direction from RPG to open world on at least one of those, which is why it was a huge fucking mess. Not that that in any way excuses their incompetence; the fact that those direction-changes occurred in the middle of development speak to complete mismanagement of the project. But what hit the shelves was not something that had baked for ten years, it was more like two-ish thanks to managers fucking up so badly.

Gonna add to that
I remembered that he deliberately sold faulty cyberwares to the prostitute to make sure they kept coming back for treatment.

Pretty much.
Of the two GNC characters we have Fingers and Claire. Claire put V's life at risk over a multi month plan to get revenge for their husband accidentally dying in a deathrace.
Fingers is just a socially awkward medical aidgiver.
sells people into snuff films
That was Wakako, Fingers just asked her for help as he couldn't deal with it
Because this is a stone cold classic game now.
Yes, if only they called late 2020 early access, CDPR's reputation would still stand.

He sold a whore who got you, the main character killed, to scavs who happened to used her to record snuff BD’s. Even then he only did that after trying everything in his power to fix her, which worked by the way as we find out, despite her continuing to feign being unresponsive which is what got her sold to the scavs to begin with because he thought she was scrap.

Let’s not forget that he is apparently the only ripper in all of Night City willing to sell cheap enough that hookers, an apparently oppressed group within the city who otherwise wouldn’t be able to defend themselves, are able to afford his services. By all means Judy, who despite claiming she cares about whores only ever makes lives for the whores in Night City worse through her actions, should love Fingers. The rest of the whores love fingers.

From the positive feedback I've heard on the expansion and the additions that are coming in the next update, it sounds like this might be a hell of a lot better compared to the dumpster fire I played on launch for three hours and then gave up. I might actually pick up the Ultimate edition if it's true that the Xbox version has all content on disc.

He didn't seem to object to it.

His database entry mentions he sells them junk cyberware so they end up back in his office sooner rather than later so he can molest them.

There's no altruism in his actions. He helps them because they're like sex dolls for him to use like their customers.

That’s all based on rumors which are unsubstantiated, and if I recall, mostly spread by Judy, who I’ll remind you is a horrible person.

What we can see of his actions in game and more importantly his actual inventory speaks volumes more. Remember, the game is not above outright lying to you or using misinformation to obscure the truth. Why would it be any different in this situation?

Now I’m not saying Fingers isn’t a fucking weirdo. He absolutely is, and arguably a bit sexist to boot depending on how you interpret the scene where he leaves the hooker bot on the table without her jaw to go get yelled at by Judy. Personally I think it’s kind of based. However, in a place like Night City such eccentricities are to be expected and quite frankly seem pretty mundane compared to what other citizens tend to get up to.
 
The only ending to the questline should have you shooting Fingers so more prostitutes die on the street from Johns while you try to dick the dyke out of Judy.
I disagree. I think that questline should have ended with Fingers becoming the mayor while V has an extended scene of beating Judy unconscious after she fucks up the Clouds takeover then selling her to the Tiger Claws.

I played 2077 on launch during a plandemic fit of boredom. I made it through Act I but a fellow oldfag FPS tard I trust said the game ends really fast so do the side missions or the game will fly by and you'll miss most of it. Started doing that, got IRL side tracked and never returned to play the rest. It was kind of ok but not really... not compared to the hype. Too demanding for the ancient rig I had but now I have a GPU that can max out settings at my preferred shitty resolution.

Cyberbros, should I continue my v1.03 save where I recall nothing about the game or character on v1.03, patch it up to 1.63 or just start a new character under 2.xx alltogether and then play phantom liberty? The list of changes is quite big. I try not to watch the youtube opinions since they are so heavily polarized going both ways and still steeped in absolute butthurt over the game's launch. But another major 2.xx update is coming and I think the game is quietly selling well, especially at the usual half-price otherwise they'd abandon it like any other publisher. More stuff is probably coming.

1.63 will have new things added to it like new weapons, mods and cars and things like perks reworked and Iconics tweaked. You'll never get back the original game. Stuff even like advertisement frequency was changed heavily for some reason. The controversial tranny ad for the soda machines was pretty much everywhere at launch and patches reduced its density. 1.06 is the last of the stability patches in the short span after launch, I believe. If you care enough to feel how it changed, just beat it on 1.03 and do a character on the newest patch and enjoy all the post release content in one play through. The game rolled crafting schematics at character creation (so you'll never find any crafting schematics for the new stuff in the updates without the console) and loot drops for some things so playing on an older save to 2.0 will just make enemies still drop clothes (they don't in 2.0) and things having a bunch of dupes. It's not broken but weird.

Thank-you. I figured given most games will omit or be unable to handle new content on older saves or have same sort of problem and the glitches in early builds its best to quickly finish it it as is and start again or start over entirely. I have also forgotten nearly everything about the plot and how to play the game so its kind of like new. You see the new gameplay clips and it looks a lot closer to what was promised way back when. The metro fast-travel system was apparently in pre-launch marketing materials for the game but wasn't even added until now. Wild. I guess I could also wait for a super-ultra-end definitive edition when CDRP officially announces no more updates.
