I forgot to say this before, but the idea that anyone can just disable your implants with a snap of their fingers, because apparently network security does not exist in this world, is just so incredulously inane. If this is something that would pose such vulnerability, the chip(s) that are responsible for control of implants would just become completely isolated from any wireless communication.
It is something that Todd Howard would come up with. "How can we put magic into this sci-fi setting?"

I don’t care what some enlightened centre right pundit has to say. Vávra can suck a cock. Bitterspunk 2069 is still a buggy mess and being released on 9 consoles is not an excuse. Hey geniuses, how about.... you know.... NOT RELEASING YOUR SHIT ON 9 CONSOLES?!
Bro you should love Cyberpunk its all about edgerunners :lol:

Must be tough to be from a pseudo culture that only has one noteworthy production, The Witcher (a rip off of Elric of Melniboné in the first place) and a single noteworthy company, CDPR, that already has a 50/50 good to popamole ratio.

Are all your 183 posts over the last eight years as retarded as this? If so, thank God you've at least got the good sense to keep your posting to a minimum.

What the fuck, she banned a user from her chat for saying "I love your ass :)" ??

1. She used to be a pornstar.

2. That's not even a bad comment, like what the fuck. That's so fucking mild.

And she spends like 4 more minutes going over how "he should know why's banned", jesus get a fucking sense of humor. You're rich because of your body and now because you're a female who plays games (same thing in both cases, I suppose). The fuck...

He's a retarded fucking nazi shit you hungarian cock mongler.

I see we have gone from snorting lines of crystal copium to the usual mods will fix it cope. Spoiler alert, they never fix games.
I am spelling this out for the terminally retarded people here, who apparently have problems reading written text: saying something is technically feasible for modders does not equal "the game is broken but mods will fix it".

Does anyone know what that "rent overdue" message, coupled to an eviction threat, on your apartment computer means? Some conversation I missed? Phishing? Leftover stuff from unrealized content?

Given how evictions work in this game - my V processed a few - they are rather terminal.

Probably unfinished quest or something. I fully expected to go pay up rent but i couldn't find where or how much.
I see, thanks.
Speaking of how much. It annoys me that i never see how much gig is worth and when characters talk they never talk about specifics of how much money you can earn.

The only time i knew what i will be getting was when i decrypted chip from militech and pocketed it killing those fuckheads.
Even afterwards, you have to really pay attention to look at the little counter at exactly the right moment. In the end, it's not really that important.


One other question: I have this first iconic weapon you usually get, "Dying Night", stuck in my inventory. I guess I could disassemble it, but is there a way to get rid of that quest(?) marker in order to be able to just put it into the stash?

Isn’t Techland kinda notable?

Jesus Christ some of these side-quest gigs are about as dark as you can get (Dirty Biz) - coupled with the excellent "doomy" synth pad stuff, the immersive effect is quite remarkable (analogous to the "Vertigo effect" in cinematography).

As for that fucking monk - ungrateful little shit :)

Nice that I'm still discovering stuff on my third char. Even though I'd done a ton of exploring with the other 2, there are still huge areas I haven't even touched.

Network security exist, you are treating net-runners as grass it seems but in lore they are elite and they are main defense against other net-runners. Moreover we are talking about world in which you can be born without legs and get fairly cheap leg replacement.
There are basically no one that is not modified in some way. Personal link also is kind of security which V often stresses out about.

And 99.999% people out there will never get hacked. So your argument is like that of car safety or knifes in kitchen being used to murder someone so no one would have knives in kitchen.

That's nonsense though. Across 40+ hours and from release through 1.04, I've only ever looted one dildo - and that's a quest reward. But you look in any drawer in even a motel and it's not gideon bibles overflowing onto the floor. The only other display object in buildings as common is that stupid maneki-neko.

Vavra has spoken:




I can understand this. He is speaking from not only enjoying the game but also from the experience that he too created a Huge Game and pulled it off.

I still see where this game was torn apart then put back together to the best of their ability because the Music Directing is all over the damn Place.

Night City has no Theme of it's own that creates any emotion, going to a ripper doc has no theme of it's own. There is a lot that could have been done. It's not the composers it's the Director and the Director of Music.

Your room has no Music.

To many story elements and sequences have horrible music directing that do nothing. There lost opportunities and it's rather sad. I would never agree to it.


It will interesting to see where this game is in a year. This is a Brand and I highly doubt it will be over with one go. It's a Brand that will grow in time.

I got sort of a Alter Carbon vibe but I think there is so much that can be improved. I am sure they will in the coming years improve everything.

Their Reputation hangs on this! I only saw 10 hours of Game play from MKiceandfire youtube and my observation is from that.

I laughed my ass of checking out Twitter Cyberpunk2077 bugs. PS4 and Xbox looks like PS1!

There's some grade A shilling in this thread. It's actually quite remarkable.
What do you mean? Going by this thread, it merely has the best writing ever, is a better Deus Ex than Deus Ex, the best graphics ever by unfathomable amounts, gameplay beyond perfection, bugs that are only visibile to 'haters', suddenly amazing 'nigger rap' and so on. It's the best at too many things to list. Simply the perfect game.

Pandering to trannies and SJWs was also just a big ol' joke by the based pink-haired Americans that now work at CDPR. They catered an entire game to their Twitter 'friends' and themselves as a joke. Obviously.

We're witnessing the magic of a tiny amount of consumer-friendliness a decade ago and Poles desperately falling over themselves to prop this up as the greatest thing ever. Quite the sight, but it's merely consoomers consooming their flavor of trash food.

One thing you should realize is there are a lot of companies in the world that wished they could create something like this.

Give you an example one of the biggest companies in China is trying to create a game like this. China really has no creativity unless it's Traditional China.

Think of this game as Lord of the Rings. When LOR came out everyone in the Film business wished they could have thought of directing a film like that.

Lot of people Used LOR has a template for trailer music. Most of them forgot about Legend.

It's sight to behold to see Codex is being more possitive about this game than subreddit about it. :lol:

It's because pessimists only have pleasant surprises. The more you get into it, the more pleasantly surprising it is. Still a mess in some aspects obviously, but you can definitely get some fun out of it if you have a high tolerance level for AAA games, and if they sort it out it'll be very good in about a year, though probably never stellar. (But chances are they'll just tidy up the worst bugs and move on to this multiplayer shit they're talking about - how they think they're going to manage to squeeze lots of players into it when it's already struggling with all the NPCs, etc., is a mystery to me. But maybe in a couple of years? I dunno, it's rickety enough as it is without having lots of live players in it too.)

I'll tell you what it is actually. All games have some balance between two kinds of immersion, or between two kinds of trance state. The gameplay trance state and the virtual world trance state; the engagement with systems and challenges and the engagement with a sense of "being there" in another time, place, etc.

No game is completely without either of these two forms of immersion (or whatever one might want to call them), and no gamer is totally without some feeling for both, but developers weight their games one way or the other, and gamers' preference are weighted one way or the other.

CDPR have always been better at the "being there" sense of immersion than the gameplay sense of immersion. And while most Codexers probably weight more towards gameplay, those of us who weight more towards "being there" immersion probably find this more congenial than those of us who weight more towards gameplay, so with a game like this we're prepared to cut it some slack if it's good at the thing we weight towards, even if we know that objectively it could be much, much better in all ares.

It's as simple as that really.
