Honestly I think male V is better for Streetkid/Nomad, while female V is better for Corpo.

honestly i think all of the paths should have been playable instead of being a shitty cinematic, it would translate to writers having to make it work for both male/female V.
but they copped out and cut the content excusing themselves with "people complained shit took to long in witcher 3".
 
Yeah, if I could change one thing about the game it would’ve been expanding the prologue. Jackie is such a good character, I wish we had the opportunity to run a couple more gigs with him before the Konpeki heist. I imagine this is what they would have done if they had managed to cobble together a functional companion AI, but as we can see from the handful of missions that feature an NPC tagging along, their pathing alone is complete dogshit. Companions in general would have been a nice addition. I do like how the game ends up with your character basically being a solo, but it would have been interesting to be able to head into different bars to recruit different runners with different skillsets, à la something like the Genesis version of Shadowrun.
 
Yeah, when I got to Jackie's death scene I joked to myself "nooo not the character that didn't have enoughbscreen time for me to care about his death" and then stsrted complaining to myself about how badly CDPR pulled it off. Yes I'm lonely and most likely mentally ill.

A good example of what CDPR wanted to do are Yakuza 0 and Yakuza 3. If yoi know you know. The time we have to know about Jackie is the initial meeting in the prologue, then the time skip cutscene, a handful of the "1.5 years later" interactions, then the Konpeki Plaza. Less than 1/4th of the game. And his death scene was set up to be emotionally hitting but it didn't do it for me. But what did was the Temperance ending. Why? Because you're with Johnny for the majority of the game so the ending hits hard. Not as hard as Yakuza 3, but still.

CDPR fucked up Jackie as a character hard.

...cast George Clooney as Blackhand as Pondsmith has stated that he modeled Blackhand after Clooney in many interviews and Q&As.

I personally don't care about Blackhand being a thing, and I hope they do eventually just reveal that Mr. Blue Eyes was Blackhand, since that's the pervasive theory. That, or give him more of a role since they seemed to be setting up to that with various different jobs and ends, being like the Cyberpunk GMan or some shit.

But if they make Blackhand a character, I wouldn't mind someone without star power. I'm kinda tired of all the celeb worship. Though, Keanu and Idris Elba were inspired choices, I feel like they don't need to use celebs as a crutch.

They could crib the main gimmick from Watchdogs: Legion and have no defined protagonist. Instead you have a stable of mercs which you can switch between and develop individually. When one of them dies, they're gone, and another will have to fill their place. Of course, this plain doesn't work with a character-focused story.

They kind of went with that in another game, Shadowrun: Returns. But you kinda get the Bethesda Radiant Effect where you kinda don't care about any of these people unless the game is designed around it.

I think some more hand crafted companions would be nice for the next game imo. Wouldn't hurt the characterization. I don't think they can get away with another Johnny Silverhand.
 
If anything, the biggest letdown I have with the game beyond how un-intereactive the open world is, is that I wish I could play someone that isn't V, and modify the hell out of your character. I don't mind V story itself except the dissonance of 'you're going to die soon but let do the side quests' design of the game. But the appeal of Cyberpunk game to me is getting to upgrade your character in the way that affects the gameplay. It's a bit of 'build your own cyborg' fantasy that doesn't necessarily fit with V's story nor the game available cyberwares. I want to chrome until I look like an abomination

Speaking of the bastard, why won't that piece of shit go out with femV? It's 2077, you'd think everyone would be passed this transphobic shit smh 😒

Even if Fem V has a penis Kerry won't bang xir.

Gotta respect this man's dedication to keeping his faggotry pure, no foids allowed.
 
I'm sure I'm not saying anything new, but I only just got around to trying Cyberpunk. The global hype and hundreds of millions of dollars that went into this are almost inconceivable when the presentation is on par with a middling localization of a Playstation 1 game.

Every damn line in the game is so awkwardly written and spoken by somebody who sounds bored out of their mind and like they were given no context for how to deliver it. I assume the writing and direction team must've been a bunch of ESL Poles who never had a native English speaker check their work.

I think I'm done playing only a few hours in. Every line of dialogue is like sandpaper on the ears.

I honestly do not get why Kerry isn't an option for fem V when he is obviously bisexual.

I get that straight relationships are more off-putting if the MC is female, but Kerry is an obvious less worse option than the fucking cop.
 
I'm tempted to play the game, but I feel like it's rewarding studios releasing half finished games and patching them to completion.

I think Lerry only fucks male V because Johnny is inside him.

As to why not female V, he just can't imagine Johnny with bobs & vagene.
 
Can we change the title of this thread from 'Grieving' to 'Discussion'? 2077 is a fun good game that got the treatment it needed. Unfortunate if you bought it day one but a fantastic game now with a fun DLC.
 
Even with over 220 hours in the game at this point, I still wouldn't call it particularly good. The only remarkable thing about 2077 is the universe it inherited. While I don't hate it, I'd probably be a lot less charitable if I was one of the people who kept up with the development news for years.

Gameplay is fun at least.
Just bonking everything with a police baton is pretty as fuck.
