Wonder if Mike Pondsmith is angry at the whole situation with the console release and all the shit that comes with it? Worried that it hurt the Cyberpunk brand name?

I don't believe it is a Theseus ship situation. The final stage seems pretty abrupt.

It is, as it shown in Arasaka ending, where you are in kosmos, at orbital Arasaka station.

It got the brand recognition but people's idea behind who is responsible for the mess remains with CDPR.

What brand name.

I'm even not sure game has noire elements. Not that I expert on noire genre - for me game's plot seems like typical revenge kid of plotline, with all the Arasaka and all. Is it typical for nore at all? Visuals of course, but it's secondary, and mostly for films, I'm not sure these are used in literature original source.

P.S. Been wanting to read Dashiell Hammett's The Maltese Falcon for long time, but couldn't find it in net on Russian sadly.

Yeah, know what you mean as there's a fair few side quests on that theme. Not saying the whole game is film noir, just that there are nods to it there. I'm thinking of two of the extended side quest lines in particular. Can't remember names of the quests so on spoiler.

Spoiler

Lizzy Wizzy as ingame 'nightclub singer' (Grimes sings as Lizzy in game, and fair amount of fluff scattered in game about 'Lizzy Wizzy and the Metadwarves' on tour) and femme fatale fearing her husband will 'kill' her, and there's a police quest line where you're asked to be the detective from outside the NCPD to find out what happened to the Mayor - being found dead in a BDSM club is very strong echo of 'A Long Tomorrow' even as much as it's now a cliche.

Red Harvest is an interesting read by Hammett too as something you can see has been quite influential on various worlds later on.

I don't understand how BDs work but couldn't V just take Jackie's memories and just release it in BD or something? He was there hiding and saw the whole thing.

Also that heist thing felt kinda off, Jackie didn't do anything reckless but suddenly everyone acting like we went gung ho guns blazing. Bitch no one saw me except for the plane that forced me to slide off the building.

Edit:
Man, I am dumb, Eveline made a BD when she was safe and sound even so V probably could have made one on hos own or something, unless you needed to prepare or something but then again in the first BD, I doubt the gangster prepeared to shoot a show or something.

Evelyn has a BD cyberware installed on her. V and Jackie don't, simple as that.

I believe you have to have a special device (called a "BD roller") installed in your cyberware that records your experience.

The principle is that it records everything you experience through your senses, as well as your emotions, and (so the story goes) your senses take in much more than you're consciously aware of, hence the possibility of BD analysis. But because it only records what your senses are receiving in your vicinity, it has that limited range when you're in analysis mode.

It's a cool idea, but I don't think the senses actually work like that. For example with vision, the eyes only actually see a tiny area, but the brain builds up an impression of a visual field from lots of tiny samples taken in quick succession and compared with expectations. (There are some deep debates about this, whether the brain "fills in" the missing stuff or it's just left as a "seems like" impression, but the general idea is that the impression we have of a visual field laid out in front of us is something of an illusion - not that it's wrong, actually hopefully it's an illusion that's actually representative of reality. But it's not something fully experienced in the way we think it is - and it's therefore not recordable by anything.)

Panam large emote plz.

Wouldn't it make more sense to use a pic of her ass instead?

 

[Fenix]

Lmao someone on Steam is complaining that Keanu ruined the game because they spent most of the game's budget on him. Wtf is wrong with people?

He's probably right.

How he could be rigth lol, if that clearly is case of mismanaged - if wenot touching my thoiry about it being intentional?
Do you really thik that additional couple of millios of dollareedoos would change the game drastically?
Management is shit.

They axed a lot of content just to squeeze Keanu in.

Exactly, they, not he.

I think the GOG post said for those who used duplication crafting or something so hopefully it doesn't effect everyone. I am gonna be pissed if I lost my playthrough since I am already getting burned out.

I had thousands of crafting components and dozens of weapons on me (no carry weight trainer) and my endgame save was only 4mb at nearly 50 hours. THere's no way these people with corrupt saves didnt have inordinate amounts of items on them.

It's the most beautiful and detailed sci-fi world since CoD: Infinite Warfare and IW is a corridor shooter while this is a go where you want to go freeroam ffs

It's pretty, and it knows it.

Is it my eyes or has 1.05 changed the graphics on PC too a bit? Seems different, less eye-strainy for me at times. But not sure if it's just own perception and/or other factors outside of game. Performance is marginally better for my 1600x but even a bit smoother is nice as wouldn't expect too much else being GPU bound at 1440p.

I requested a refund with Steam after having played 25 hours. I like the game enough that I'll definitely buy it and play it, say, a year from now, but I'm not fucking with it now.

Requesting a refund to my steam wallet with 25 hours of playtime is a ballsy gambit. Will it pay off? I doubt it. I don't need the money or anything, I just decided I'm going to wait to play the game until it's in a better state so I thought I might as well try to get a refund to send a message.

You can finish the game in 25 hours... I'd be amazed if they let you refund it. Neither would I blame them for refusing.

This is not a hero power fantasy self-insert as in 99% of rpgs. Can anyone give me another example where an RPG made you feel so powerless against your own inevitable demise no matter how much you thrash against your fate?

Not RPG, but better example of this.

Hey guys, I created a very basic savegame monitor for CP2077 on PC. It will display a messagebox whenever a savegame file exceeds specified threshold (8 MB in this case).

Did they just downgrade the game with the new patch ? Lod got fucked hard even on the highest settings (and there is no easy ini edits like in the twitcher cause everything is hidden) Im done with this game see guys you when goty edition comes out with tons of mods (if they dont ban them). I had almost 0 pop in on 1.04 now shit is materializing before my eyes they are adding more trash to the fire

 

[Pegultagol]

Hmm...I was doing some stealth in one of the missions in a warehouse, got caught, flatlined. Reloading to previous quicksave made during non-aggro state loads me directly into combat situation. It hearkened to some RNG baked situation in turn based games that prevents save-scumming. Well, I could go guns blazing but it could be a bit too difficult or too much to bother or both, and would really break the immersion...this game really knows how to drag a player's esteem and expectations in shit-caked mud.

Yeah, after experimenting with some stuff I reached the conclusion that the netrunner build (20 int, a few perks in breach and all perks in quickhacking, 20 technical ability which is basically lockpicking) is the stealth build of this game. Taking out enemies with quickhacks while being undetected gives points to stealth as well. So this was their vision with this game. Full combat with guns or melee weapons, or hacking that also includes stealth but you don't need to put a single point into cool or any of its perks. They wanted to recreate the Watch Dogs hacking playstyle. Or any combination of the above.
But the netrunner build is something else and is enjoyable. Stay outside the restricted areas and kill enemies with various quickhacks.
Somehow though overheat which is just spontaneous combustion is considered non lethal even though enemies clearly don't move afterwards, like at all. Short circuit also non lethal even though you fry their brains out. Contagion which is poison, also non lethal. Sticking a cyberware mod in your eye makes all your guns non lethal. I'm not sure if it applies to melee weapons as well. Would be weird having a non lethal katana.
Using the netrunner build you can easily kill bosses and play the entire game without using any weapon at all. You don't even need one in your inventory. Using the correct quickhacks against the various weaknesses of enemies deals extra damage combined with all the other perks in breach and quickhack skills.
Even though short circuit seems to do highest damage, it's actually overheat that spreads and actually takes out enemies, including the ones that have a higher resistance to fire than electricity.

I might do one more run as a nomad
