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

[Perkel]

well exploring kind of gives you stuf. Found those on one of netrunners fried doing their work. She was behind some doors i had to open with body. Considering i go with Body/tech specifically with LMG/Shotguns and crafting i can see those boots serving me up until endgame with stat like this, though it would be better for some sniper not for lmg dude.

Speaking of finding stuff. There is absolute shitload of non quest gonks to shot. And things to explore. Found plenty of body blocked doors without any quest (or i don't remember being there in first place in my previous playtrough).

Crit chance and crit damage is way, way too overturned. Hacking is straight up broken. Resistances and everything else are essentially useless.

Yea game balance is a fucking disaster. Desperately needs an overhaul mod to change everything. Much like Witcher 3 needs EE mod to be playable. I guess CDPR have now achieved Bethesda level, pretty game world that needs mods to be a half decent game.

It's almost as if giving the player access to everything wasn't the intended design. Almost as if the PnP uses classes instead of total free form design.

Moving away from classes is decline.

Is "Gun Fu" bugged or does it mean melee attacks with a pistol? I've definitely shot three people in quick succession dozens of times with my revolver now that I can one hit kill everything and yet no cheevo.

Anyway, all yellow gigs/side jobs cleared. Skipping Panam and Rogue questlines for future male playthroughs. Heading into the end game tonight by meeting whatshername.

Some useless information: the chick is called Marzzzzy or Marzy or whatever and she is the stereotypical THOT.

She had a shitty job and a boyfriend. She started doing bullshit videos on utube, her simps brigade started to grow and she got a taste of easy money.

Suddenly she started doing "hardcore" gaming where she somehow managed to get only perfect builds in Dark Souls while doing blind runs

She ditched the boyfriend and the shitty job. And now she started growing her "community" on twitch.

Basically she is a despicable bitch who would do anything for money. Honestly that's normal in current year but that's not the point.

The point is that everything about her is fake. Including the outrage from the video above

Now I'm genuinely curious: How do you know that?

he's the ex bf

Doesn't matter what gender you are with Rogue, btw.

I had actually forgotten how the combat could be decent early on, started a level 1 guy and with no equipment took a bit of work to take out a group of goombas, using cover, grenades, healing etc, compared to my level 30+ dude that turns everyone into a red paste as soon as they get within eye sight.

Its actually a goddamn disgrace in a CyberPunk game that we dont see some wacky shit at higher levels, mechs, tanky exosuit guys, way more netrunners using all the hacks (why dont they do stuff like weapon malfunction, blinding etc?) maybe even experimental weapons, I am kind of disappointed that the weapons are almost all very conventional 20th century stuff.

Yeah, I need to actively gimp myself to have a resemblance of a challenge. Good thing I'm not playing this game for a challenge then, I guess.

lvl 20 is more than enough to make a broken build. should probably go even lower if you want reasonably fun 2nd playthrough.
also not using retarded clothing mods.

There are quite a few tasty sets of orange gear that would see you through to the end (with suitable mods) scattered around that you can find by exploring, there are a few people who've done YT videos about it. e.g. there's a full Corpo set (very smart looking), a full Nomad set, a full Fixer set (tres chic for your female V), a full Netrunner set (dorky pants unfortunately), etc., with parts scattered all over in odd places. No set bonuses though, unfortunately.

As always, if you see an orange dot, save before "looking", because the number of slots is RNG, so it's worth trying a few times till you get full slottage.

Yeah bro, gotta make that non existant challenge even less challenging by cheesing the game! Cos the JooTubers I watch told me to!

Fuck, I was on my way to write this. I swear, I leave this thread alone for one day...

Take a look at these hands
The hand speaks
The hand of a government man

Speaking of AI. I found chick which had Kereznikov but unlike other mobs she run away from me and never let me get close to her. She packed SMG that kind of fucked me quicklu so i had to do some cover mumbo jumbo. Every time i did that she just noped the fuck out of there and went toward further cover.

In same place i found dude with Tech sniper rifle who was covering her from afar and he did not allow me to safely get in cover as he would shoot through my cover.

Aside from that i also noticed that penetration is on all weapons, but on tech weapons it is a lot higher. I was firing SMG and dude got cover via some plastic shit. It did not do full damage but it went through

Anything that comes from social media is complete garbage, youtube gaming is infected with youtuber "reviewers" with their 01 hour essays that say fucking nothing or have average opinions that any regular retard can spew, grown men pretending they are 12 years old, drama harvesting "news" channels , thots wanting their simp corral. Nothing of good comes from there. Unfortunately, the very few people with useful content there, namely, the educational channels, as expected, have zero views.

I've been ranting about the same thing recently.

It's just one more example of the tendency that technology and services that common wisdom (and marketing) says are improving our lives are actually wasting our time and adding stress. It used to be the internet was inhabited by mostly mature and sane people. It used to be that useful content was uploaded and was getting recommended on youtube. Once it all became a business, all these shit eaters settled in, and now those mature and sane people get recommendations based on the mass viewership of immature and insane people. It became just like TV - you are showered with content, and you have to pay (in one way or another) for the shit to be filtered so you can get to meaningful stuff. Real life cyberpunk is already here in some respects.

People need to put them in spoilers. I'm assuming that stops it from autoplaying.

No, you're assuming wrong. If the codex was coded a bit more intelligently, maybe. As it is everything loads before the script that applies the hiding of spoilered things is initialized. If someone spoilers a big sized image you can even see it loading before the spoiler hides it.

Ok I just checked Mr blue eyes is wearing the same ring.

Level scaling in this game is implemented in the worst possible way

As the official guide also implies, different areas have different min-max stat for goons and loot. If you go too early to ceratain areas (i.e. corpo plaza) you'll get slaughtered. At the same time, if you delay certain quests in low level areas, they'll become extra easy, so this kind of defeats the purpose of level scaling which is to offer a challenge that if matched to the player capabilities. There's also another aspect. If you're able, early in the game, to defeat a goon in a high difficulty area (like the already mentioned corpo plaza) the dropped weapons will have a minimum level far above yours and won't be usable. This, of course, because the whole character progression is shit relying mostly on insane increase of the weapons stats.

Exactly, and I would like to add is: why a regular ganger on Santo Domingo is of higher level than a ganger on Watson? It was the same retardation on Witcher 3 with the water zombies, they are push overs then you turn a corner and they become one hit kill murder machines. Is it too hard to have threat levels not based on popamole general area level but based on enemy type? It doesnt make any sense to have downtown and Heywood blocked because the gangers in there are murder machines. I guess they made areas with a determined level so you can level scale guns to get that Swen's item fever nonsense, only that explain it.

I dont think the concept that what defines if a guy is though should be his firepower and armor and not much his level is that hard for a normie to grasp. I mean, even if you are a disfunctional retarded human being, if you see a Robocop guy with a cyber bazooka, it is way more intuitive for you to know that you are going to have your ass kicked than some retardred area level.Man, they copy pasted the worst popamole common denominator possible.

I hope they expand custmization. I would love legs like on that chick on right.

that attention to detail. Females version of zipper XD

Also doll conversion:

If the shoe fits THOT... (w/ her clever santa hat, tats, and bright red lipstick, she surely is just a hardcore gamer not selling her ass on her channel right?)

Adam Smasher is my personal hero for giving THOTs immediate feedback on what they are based on how they present themselves. Evelyn was literally there as a paid whore. Smasher should have 'smashed' on the way out. #MakeMisogynyGreatAgain

At some point I was looking for Dark Souls videos on utube, more specifically blind runs, because I wanted to see noobs doing the same retarded shit like I did.

Her videos were recommended and she had 400K+ subscribers. She is not ugly (despite the sociopath stare) and I was curious what's the fuss about.

I've noticed that her blind run was fake (perfect build, fake surprises and so on) and she was also complaining about some off-utube drama with her boyfriend.

Later she moved to twitch and she also provided some private information about her boyfriend. The reason is clear in hind-sight: single TOTHs are more successful with simps

To get back to your question: her videos are some of the first videos which made me realize that streamers's outrage and surprises are often scripted. There are very few authentic streamers which are successful.

That's why I know about her despite the fact that I didn't watch her for long. Like I've posted before, I watch twitch on background at work but I never subscribed and I will never pay for a subscription.

To be completely honest, I almost did it for Sinatar but then I'm a cheap motherfucker and he will survive without one subscription.

Don't hate the players, hate the game. You'd put on some kneepads too if it meant easy money.

God fucking damn it stop posting Reddit embeds here. Almost blew my eardrums out.

Use a script blocker nigger, I've never had autoplay issues in the thread.

Script blockers, why not, but the only way to be sure is both them and a plugin that mutes all tabs by default. In case you need a script enabled but don't wish tabs to play sound.

Wasn't there supposed to be some option to overwrite the chip with an engram of yourself? Or was that just BS?

In both the Arasaka and Alt endings, there are explanations that engage in hand-waving as to how supposedly V's body has been so damaged and altered as a consequence of the Johnny Silverhand engram/virus, combined with consumption of drugs, that V's death is inevitable, except that V's body will somehow survive if Johnny Silverhand is allowed to complete the process of transforming V's brain into one matching his engram. Just a bit of nonsense from CDPR to justify including an ending they wanted (Johnny Silverhand is resurrected in V's body) but excluding an ending they didn't want as an option (V survives in V's own body rather than being doomed to die in a few months).

The whole point of chip was to release nanomaschines and "convert" subject brain to engram version of it. Moreover depending on how you play you die about 2-3 times in story each time being effectively revived by chip.

I don't see how it is "hand waved" where whole thing is about it from start.

My V is level 39 at the moment, and I have the feeling that the level of those gangsters in Downtown got upped again. Armor is mostly meaningless, and I had to build my own sniper rifle to be able to try and one-shoot anything. Which you can do once or twice in a fight, before it gets ugly (handguns may work better, but my level in those is too low).

I also have the feeling that some perks are bugged in other ways than simply not working. I wish I would remember which perk made my rifles worse.
