Comparing this game to Neuromancer is an insult to Neuromancer
Second Jensen Deus Ex already skullfucks Cyberpunk, so it's fine.third jensen deus ex would have skullfucked cyberpunk, absolutely shameful that was canned
I like Mankind Divided a lot, but that's just wrongSecond Jensen Deus Ex already skullfucks Cyberpunk, so it's fine.third jensen deus ex would have skullfucked cyberpunk, absolutely shameful that was canned
lol, three playthroughs and I never once thought to check Yorinobu's computer on the wall during the Heist (the one that Evelyn goes to to change the mood music in the penthouse investigative BD, and spends a bit of time fiddling with). Turns out it has Saburo Arasaka's diary on an encrypted shard, and there's some nice flavour insight into his thoughts, and a bit more detail about how Hellman squealed about Yorinobu nicking the Relic. But the computer also reveals, in an email exchange between Yorinobu and Netwatch, that Netwatch had already been in contact with Yorinobu, so that must have been where Evelyn got the idea to make a deal with Netwatch.
There really is a hell of a lot of little detail squirreled away in the game, including many cross-connections between characters. The Youtuber Sam Bram is big on joining up the dots. I think a lot of it was unfinished, but there's enough to show they had some quite intricate plans for the game at one time.
this would be impressive if any of that extra info V gets, get acknowledged by the game/V going forward(?)lol, three playthroughs and I never once thought to check Yorinobu's computer on the wall during the Heist (the one that Evelyn goes to to change the mood music in the penthouse investigative BD, and spends a bit of time fiddling with).

Mike Pondsmith notes Walter Jon Williams's Hardwired as his primary source of inspiration.As I understand it Cyberpunk is a pen and paper RPG from the 1980s so it's obviously inspired by Neuromancer, Blade Runner and lots of Japanese anime/manga from the time.

That's what I meant by saying it's unfinished. There's just so much detail left dangling in so many areas that it seems to evidence a monumental construction task having been suddenly dropped, kind of like a Marie Celeste type of vibe.
You think they'll keep the city map more or less unchanged, just keep adding playable areas?I suspect that some of the stuff left dangling will be continued on in Orion.
Maybe they'll move the story out of Night City? There are so many interesting locations in CP2077 we only hear or read about.You think they'll keep the city map more or less unchanged, just keep adding playable areas?I suspect that some of the stuff left dangling will be continued on in Orion.
That will be a hell of a port job to UE5.

Wrote a fairly big review/analysis
It's big enough that it exceeds the Steam character limit. Read it on my Substack -

That was fun to read. Quite a few things I disagree with regarding Silverhand and the story, but after God knows how many hours it took to beat the game, I don't know if it's me not being able to recall everything.Wrote a fairly big review/analysis
