CD Projekt's Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.0 + Phantom Liberty Expansion Thread

[Gerrard]

Even without the bugs the game is just a solid 7/10. Face it, it can't be fixed. I doubt they will fix the idiotic AI and stealth.

Mafia from 2001 had a better police system than this. What a joke.

But hey, I guess "LOOK AT DEM GRAFEEX, OOOH TITTIES AND ASS 10/10 GOTY"

Considering all the shitty systems, and ignoring all the technical issues and bugs, this game is a 5/10 at most. Literally mediocre at everything. Or even less then mediocre at times.

https://www.powerpyx.com/cyberpunk-2077-story-choices-guide/

Before we start, it’s important to know what type of choices there are and how they work:

• Most dialogues (98%) have no impact on the story whatsoever. The vast majority of dialogue only changes the next line of dialogue and that’s it.
• Only a very small subset of dialogues (around 2% of all dialogues) actually have any impact whatsoever. These are the choices pointed out in this guide.
• You will always end up on the same linear story path with the same objectives and missions no matter what. Even if you go for the choices in this guide or not won’t change what missions you get. The game is much more linear than it seems.

This guide missed way too many stuffs. For example

Spoiler

you can still leave Jackie in the cab and still get Heroes side job. Another one is when confronting Woodman, if you finished a particular gig before, you can threaten him and walk away in peace if you don't have enough intelligence or corpo background.

The more I play this game, the more similarities I find between it and Red Dead Redemption 2. Both deal with mortality and one's self value in a world that no longer needs them or deems them an empty vessel for something else. Everything about Evelyn, the conversation with the meat puppet/doll, the fact that Johnny is a fucking virus overwriting your brain, how Jackie's funeral was literally the first side mission you received before any world establishment (reminded me of how Bran Tuirseach's funeral was the first event you ran into in Skellige). Beneath the edgy outlook and glamorous tech advancement, it spins the focus back to human nature, not in an overly bleak and cruel way, but compassionating and surprisingly tender. Had the game incorporated a "humanity" meter based on how much you change body and affects your personality, it would have sent an even stronger message.

Spoiler

While I enjoyed RDR2's last third the most; it went against that game's DNA, you don't give a shit about half of the content in the game while the character's at that stage; like "I'm fucking dying who cares about hunting legendary animals anymore". But it paid off to be completionist in a game for once since I've already done most of the shit before TB, spent the rest of the game throwing money away to my heart's content

Its more fitting here tho its not as dark as RDR2.

and what about og codex classic Deus ex 2001? Double standards much ? You pick the ending with one dialogue line
You guys are cracking me up you cant complain that endings are decided by one dialogue when og deus ex is number 8 top rpg of all time on this site or you can but I will call you hypocritical bitches.

Deus Ex is actually from 2000. I remember how stricken I was that they had put the beheaded Lady Liberty in a game one year before 9/11.

The only thing that actually bothered me so far is in that Panam quest

Spoiler

where you save Mitch. When you shoot the pilot the game doesn't acknowledge it, instead the dialogue implies that Panam is the one who shot him.

 

[Removal]

Can you name one, by the way?

combat works fine, hacking works fine, driving works fine
most of the game's systems aren't broken, they're just fine to okay but not outstanding, so a solid 7/10 game when you factor in visuals/side quest quality

 

[S.H.O.D.A.N.]

Not quite. Each ending has different objectives in the final mission.

Still standard pick A,B,C at the end like in Cyberpunk.

Didn't the OG Deus Ex always give you the same choices, regardless of anything you did in the game before that point, or am I misremembering?

 

[Perkel]

WTF

Spoiler

JUDY QUESTLINE SPOILERS
i've been doing sidequests once i reloaded game (since i decided for quicker ending) and i am finishing the one with judy. In my previous posts i talked how this game perfectly present theme that City is chewing you and and spitting you out and bam, Judy outright says that like and she has enough.

Perkel you are so full of shit.

And you are nice toilet, i think we fit each other rather well.

Wasn't Deus Ex: Human Revolution the same?

Yes, but Deus Ex was a good game. And it didn't present you with 3 literal buttons to press, one for each ending.

 

[Molzey75]

What a half baked game...
One must admit CDPR - they wonderfully showed how heartless, cold and greedy corporations are. Their LARP is maybe even a bit to perfect.

 

[TheHeroOfTime]

please explain to me, why does the reddit echo chamber and all the dangerhair game journalism hate CD Projekt so much?

Their hate is not about the game itself, but rather against CD Projekt for not bending the knee in terms of SJW politics. These journos and NPCs do find things like the game's sexualiced art and inclusion of trannies as an issue because isn't made the way they wanted. The last time I entered twitter there was people complaining and circlejerking themselves around one poster inside the game where there's a guy with a pistol on his mouth suggesting suicide. They were worried because those things aren't safe, because of course a product aimed for adults must be educational 100% of the time.







Don't get fooled. Only a few do actually care about how is the game as a game. The rest are just clowns using it as a throwing weapon for their shitty takes.

You should specify which one you mean, considering there is case of 4 buttons.

 

[Naraya]

The more I play, the more I'm loving this game.

The company can still go F itself though.

 

[oddech_wymarlych_swiatow]

For those who have already finished Cyberpunk - after eight years of development, will it be remembered, at least much moar than some random Ubisoft AAA open world thing?

 

[Tyranicon]

Did the game get fixed yet?

HR was 3 buttons + 1 extra button to the side.

did they just straight up lie here or is it more cut content? in the end she just appeared in the tutorial as a hologram and on 2 missions on the phone. i don't think you even have one real conversation with her. i wanted her to be my nubian hacker queen

How can you romance a corpse? She got fried in the heist mission you can hear her dying on the comms.

that's what i'm saying. her just dying off screen is so lazy. especially because they showed her in that one cinematic trailer being in the same hotel room with dex when he betrayed you and i remember people speculating that you're going to be able to persuade her to not betray you and take out dex right then and there. turns out she dies off screen, there is no way to save her and dex just shoots you without you having a choice or a way to prevent that from happening.

 

[Cpt. Dallas]

I got forced into combat with Woodman, perhaps because I had explored the back offices, locker room, security terminal (except his) before talking with Tom. He (and all the surviving guards) was immediately hostile upon opening his office door (after Talking to Tom and getting quest tab to negotiate with him).

It's incredibly frustrating when people yank things out of context to try and dunk on someone/something. Personally, I don't think some of the darker themes are handled particularly well at times in the game but complaining about that poster misses out that it's a direct contrast to one for women with a pistol shaped sex toy they point against their heads, and a game where there are four minor story lines with suicide as a theme /result that I can think of. It's just so low effort to focus on one thing like that. There's plenty of critique to be made of cyberpunk as a genre if you're willing to put the work in.

They spent more money on making the cinematic trailers than Q&A.

Like, we all know trailers are giant fucking lies, but holy shit, their story trailer was just 60% of the fucking intro montage.

GOTY.

 

[Derringer]

that's actually good news

Nah, it's a product that made profit off false promises and the scammiest marketing campaign since the PS3 announcement

Like a majority of western AAA releases for over the past decade? People don't remember the Witcher 3 Microsoft deal 360 downgrade?

Dday + 5. Mood: Stable. Game is still shite.
