Only played up to where you "meet" Johnny Silverhands so far. Really enjoying the story and like stuff like the Braindance system. Graphics, atmosphere, music and sound are nice too.

Gameplay is "meh" though (although Witcher 3 was also pretty average in that respect). I'm on PC but this was definitely designed with consoles in mind first and foremost with stuff like the main interaction key being unmappable without a hack. Had a few glitches but nothing gamebreaking so far.

Its all downhill from there, all the good stuff is front loaded. STOP! now while you still have good impressions.

The 3 lifepaths actually making no meaningful difference means that your first 5 hours are essentially the same: lots and lots and lots of talking. Sure, it's fine the first time through, but even having just done it a second time for a reroll, I found it a bit much.

They shot themselves in the foot anyway because the game is built in such a way that replaying it is incredibly tedious.

I'm planning to do a new character in a year or so when all DLC and important patches are out, but yeah it does sound rather tedious because the actual gameplay missions are mostly a grind lacking much narrative motivation. .

Doing a second re-run now, the main issue is the static story cutscenes they put into the game. You are on point saying that the gameplay missions are just a grind with no actual motivation to continue. Even just getting past the prologue for the irrelevant 'life-paths' and the main plot points which are impossible to avoid. If I could just get to the free-roam a lot faster it would be better, but it is such a slog to get to ACT 2.

The speedrun is literally three hours of 90% holding C to skip conversations, 5% running in town, 5% shooting. You really have to wonder about the development conversations where they decided the main quest would be almost entirely story and the side content would be almost entirely gameplay.

Some of the cuts in the content must have happened pretty late in the development, as even some screenshots in the official game guide does not seem to match the locations found in game (not to mention that the cover depicts V sitting in a subway wagon). The game also contains some artwork and graphics I don't recall seeing in the game, like a billboard with a four titties woman:



Who cares about gameplay, I want to play as a trans with four tits! FOUR tits!!! :bounce::bounce::bounce:

That ad was in there on release day version. I've not seen it, it's a strip of four or five different breast enhancements available, since they threw in a load of ads for car insurance. One place it was at was the porn shop Rivers takes you to but I've not checked to see if it still is. There's still the titty ad with lips for nipples but it's much rarer than it was.

Other than the player character weirdly wearing boxers in one shower scene, I can't say the game feels censored for content at all. I mean part of the main quest is a lengthy cutscene where a girl has her pussy out for like 2 minutes. So if four titty woman is gone it's likely for other reasons.

By the way, Alt's landing strip is lame-o. Judy is shaved but has a cat tattoo down there because of course. Not sure if they show Panam's grooming choices or not.

Maybe they played like me effectively never killing civilians ?

I don't believe you unless you modded the driving to not suck some how or just fast traveled and walked everywhere. So much accidental road kill at least with mouse and keyboard.

So finally finished the game

Game was okay. Some of the quests I enjoyed were fine and there wasn't any part of the game I'd say was particularly unfun. Just no moments that really shined out as being really great or memorable. In retrospec I should have just stuck with my current BG1 playthrough. Only had one bug that really annoyed the hell out of me where every time I walked off a ledge which would have been just a small step to the next bit of ground below kept "falling to my death." Got to the point I just started jumping around rather than walking.

Also from finishing the game I suspect we're not going to get any expansions that could fit as a post main game story like Witcher 3. Endings have V in a lot of different states unlike Geralt. For Geralt it was more everybody around him who changed while he got to kept on witcherin' away after Ciri. So I feel like any expansions/dlc that add story content are going to be set to take place during the main story for Cyberpunk.

In investor call after release they said openly that they don't care for now about Multiplayer version of game and they now focus on "rebuilding trust". This was to their investors not to fans or media so has kind of credibility.
Re-earning trust as seen by CD Projekt RED is: patch the most obvious technical issues by rewritting last gen code and worse some geometry to make it easy on AMD Jaguar, add some scenes with this sidecut el latino mutt/that creole mutt/Meredith to fill the gaps, gift some skins, irrelevant side gigs, maybe a sixth missing skill tree and call it mission accomplished. They fucked over the very investors who gave them money in the first place, they have no desire to not fuck over those who already bought their game.
The studio is creatively stuck in 2015.

I now feel ashamed for saying bad things about Kingdom Come: Deliverance over the internet. Turns out, you can fall lower and lower endlessly. And have a game less sophisticated than KCD.

full nomad bush
running around the desert all day killing wraiths and chinese people
and on the end of the day you get a taste of that sweat drenched pus in even hotter tank
sex scene should be V cumming as soon as he touched her pussy and took a whiff

They censored a bunch of ads and possibly other stuff in the game shortly after release. There was discussion on official forum about it. No idea why, maybe the release was such a cluster fuck they didnt want to have anything else that a hate mob could attack them over.

The release version didn't have those boxers. This got all shoved in with one of the first patches.
At some point, my V was even riding his bike stark naked.


Just did this Oda fight. Glitched out on the last 10% or so.

"Keanu Reeves kun, we polish people love you so much, we are cutting most level design from the main quest so all players dont waste time and can bask on your splendor all the time. We are also cutting all story from the side missions so players cant be distracted by other characters and pay attention to your brillant snarky, ironic remarks all the time. We love you so much!"

The tranny "mix it up" is on full display near V's apartment.

I haven't seen any tits in ads as far as I can recall.
There were static Milfguard ads with tits visible. After 1.05 they were changed so that the Milguard logo covers the tits. Some tits still flash in the animated version of the same ad. There is also another ad with the woman on her back as seen from the perspective of a man who is holding her legs up. There the tits are visible. I think you can see more adult ads within Megabuilding 8 where the Clouds brothel is located. Look around the megabuilding itself.
