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

[just]

Turns out the game has a suicidal AI subsystem. Or something.

Thrice now, a scream followed by a body splatting on the ground happened. The first time, I thought it was an NPC that glitched off a higher level, but no, it seems to be a coded thing.

That glitch should be made canon, especially in corporate skyscrapers.

On a side note, did anyone actually buy any of the cars, you get messages from fixers about? In my playthrough on Hard even getting 30k was a huge grind, plus Jackie's Arch motorcycle was hilariously OP for a free vehicle.

Nah. The two free bikes were more than plenty and found them better for getting about the city. The free Caliban was fine for a sports car too - although did manage to blow it (and V) up a couple of times by walking into it too hard after wrapping it around one too many fixed pieces of scenery on the way somewhere.

You know, there's no good reason Panam couldn't have been a qt jgirl mechanic. But nope, had ta be a stronk mulatto. Had to be.

Is this your understanding of "qt"? If yes, my condolences.

Name a different female japanese mechanic.

Spoiler

this is how you design a proper female mechanic in a video game. cdpr take note.

Here's my weeb version based on Kaylee from Firefly.

I could admire your dedication to some specific fleshy bits, but I expect most of humanity will take a more pragmatic approach, given time.

Peel of the skin and rend this flesh, we must begin - start over fresh.

Got me there.

It's nice to see a developer see taking the source the game is based on that seriously.

Right? Anyway name me a good noir movie that has a happy ending.

So now Cyberpunk 2077 is noir?

the Blade Runners are both Noir.

Blade Runner is neither "cyber" nor "punk", only retarded Millennials seem to attach that label to it, probably due to its artistic style which clearly influenced the cyberpunk genre.

The codex won't support 9gag. It's cyberpunk in Indonesia: https://9gag.com/gag/aD4pQO9

Academics began analyzing the film almost as soon as it was released. One of the first books on the film was Paul M. Sammon's Future Noir: The Making of Blade Runner (1996),[111] which dissects all the details concerning the film making. He was followed by Scott Bukatman's Blade Runner[112] and other books and academic articles.[113] In Postmodern Metanarratives: Blade Runner and Literature in the Age of Image, Décio Torres Cruz analyzes the philosophical and psychological issues and the literary influences in Blade Runner. He examines the film's cyberpunk and dystopic elements by establishing a link between the Biblical, classical and modern traditions and the postmodern aspects in the film's collage of several literary texts.[114]

The most retarded thing is that CDPR trademarked the word Cyberpunk so nobody else can reasonably use the word again.

I know this because I was going to use it. CDPR has a handy dandy "email us if you want to use it" button.

No thanks, I know how honeytraps work.

 

[Stavrophore]

Blade Runner has almost nothing cyberpunk compared to even the Cyberpunk game. Cyber = implants, transhumanism, punk = anarchy, revolt against establishment. It's ironic[or not] that a rockerboy tried to defeat arasaka, punk after all is a genre of rock, so Johnny Silverhand is literally an avatar of cyberpunk genre, cyberpunk guy. As Pondsmith said, style is everything, Johnny definitely has a lot of his own style.

 

[Jackpot]

Ugh, I can't believe they made the ONLY attractive female romance companion in the game a raging HOMO.
Judy is just so-

Oh god, run. RUN!

 

[moon knight]

I think CDPR should start with something simpler - https://www.rpgmakerweb.com/

Btw this thread is so full of retarded fanboys it feels like gamefaqs.

If this is a bug, like a missed check for the status of the NPC guard, it's ok, it's fixable.

If it's by design, tho...it's a bit shit

Who do you think write those articles at Wikipedia? Retarded Millennials. You are a fool if you think that's a reliable source of information.

The novel Blade Runner was based on featured "androids", didn't have anything to do with anything "cyber" (e.g. cybernetics, cyberspace etc).

But it has computers in it lol.

Realistically though, it's generally agreed that artificial intelligence is in the cyber wheelhouse, and Bladerunner deals almost exclusively with AI.

Is it punk? Ehhhhh.

How does that even work? I was under the impression that CDPR only owns the license to their particular adaptation of the Cyberpunk franchise into their agreed upon video games, but doesn't otherwise have the rights to it as to be able to trademark it.

Because some lawyers somewhere got them the trademark.

It works because they sue smaller developers into the ground when they try to use the word. The most notorious case of this is Prey for the Gods, a Shadow of the Colossus-type game who got in trouble with ZeniMax, who owns the Prey IP. They had to change it to a derpy Praey for the Gods.

Pathetic corpos.

But they don't own the IP as far as I know, Pondsmith (or whoever he sold his TTRPG title to) does.

Passing by CDPR headquarters after the Sony announcement.

Blade Runner wasn't the first film that dealt with AI though, so when you place AI into "cyber" you'd have to take the early influences of cyberpunk decades back, to 2001:SO, even to Metropolis perhaps.Are those cyberpunk too?

 

[Tyranicon]

Honestly, I'm not too sure how that works since CDPR has the word trademarked. I would assume they talked with whoever owns the actual TTRPG IP (if they don't flat own it themselves), and reached some kind of agreement. Or... they might have just asserted dominance over the IP owner. T-pose squad represent.

Yeah, I'm not arguing that fact. Read my comment again, you said it wasn't cyber, I say it is. It's probably not punk though.

Bladerunner was being retroactively called part of the cyberpunk genre 20 odd years ago when I was writing long essays on the subject at university. It certainly set the visual standard which was already cliche by then too. Wouldn't place too much weight on the individual elements of a portmanteau word which even those writing within the genre bridled against because it allowed mainstream SF writing to sideline them rather than engaging with the ideas they felt needed to be discussed. So far as film noir goes, there's obvious borrowings in the game (and much of cyberpunk generally). There's an extended quest line interpreting a femme fatale within the game's themes and the world's boundaries.
