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

[Perkel]

The most deaths I ever had was that retarded mandatory combat sequence where you had to kill a bunch of guys in a cave with Panam and the auto save was at the start of the encounter. My build was highly specialized at the time for stealth so that was particularly miserable.

It is not mandatory.

Similar how detective killing that dude isn't. You can just say you won't do it and Reeves will acknowledge that. Once he invites you to dinner you get his version of what happened later that he in the end didn't kill him despite having chance to do so.

This doesn't hold because besides the male voice, when V stands up from the bed, the legs are definetly male. So both male voice and male body.

Ofc the body is male, you can see it from the hands right away, clearly they modded the game so the male romance VOs would play for a straight male V which doesn't disprove if the VO was recorded for female body - male VO V.

I just want the facts dammit! :D

Ah, you mean whoever recorded the video may have switched V's model? Could have been done I guess, but if it's a hoax people will disprove it easily.

 

[Quillon]

Ah, you mean whoever recorded the video may have switched V's model?

I was thinking of forcing the scene to play with the male V, model & VO but yeah, switched models essentially, I guess.

 

[Parsimonious cook]

By the way, notice that Carol says "Leave you girls to it" at 17:22. I think this makes it even more likely that Judy wasnt meant as a partner for heterosexual male V and the male VO was meant to accomodate the tranny lobby.

 

[Fedora Master]

Even with Judy as a hetero option the possible choices are still bad, so...

 

[gurugeorge]

I still maintain that the underwater scene with Judy is charming (and original), and I warmed to her with that.

 

[Pegultagol]

I found Judy's character to be rather dissonant and off-base. The last side-quest involving her was touching, to be sure, but I couldn't really be convinced that the circumstances warranted that kind of frolicking after the massive undertaking

Spoiler

that would be tantamount of declaring war on the entire Tyger Claws. If there was another mission or aftermath at Lizzie's Bar where the Mox and Tyger Claws duke it out resulting in the survival or death of the conspirators, then I would be more receptive to the wind-down of her place in the story.

best thing is actually her behaviour after the coup ends in a trainwreck. "i du not what to think about that a couple of people died because of my dumbass plan". yeah, sounds like a woman. but who wants to see that in a person the audience is supposed to sympathize with?

 

[DeepOcean]

it feels like when writing those flirty characters someone mistook "bitchy" for "strong character".

Women do this sort of shit all the time, they love you, then they bitch about you for whatever reason that comes to their mind. What the game does wrong isnt this part of her characterization exactly but that CDPR are a bunch of cucks, you did the chad thing and just walked away but instead of acting like a real woman, (doing a 180, crying and guilt tripping you into helping her then fucking your bone for not buying her bs), Panam must be "strong and independent womyn" TM, so CDPR rewards you with pussy for being a sycophant. What is even stranger because she is a nomad, she steals shit and do dangerous shit for a living and that kind of girl likes the "Give a slap on the hottie." kind of treatment people are meming here on Brazil about Cyberbug.

 

[gurugeorge]

Dayum, "Family Matters" (from El Capitan, to do with a couple of sisters, Rosa and Julie Harrington) has to be one of the saddest gigs in the whole game. There are lots more awful and horrible quests, but this one really gets to you. The tragic realism of the email from Vik is a particularly good touch, brings it home (since you know Vik). Even El Capitan was moved.

Anybody who accepts anything below 60 fps deserves to be shot in the head.

I've been playing at 60 fps for 20 years and i've recently moved up to 144hz where even 60 fps look like shit to me now

I genuinely don't get this tune, is it an acquired taste, some sort of "you had to be there" moment? For decades, my target has been "above 40" and I can't really tell much of a difference beyond that, I'm just as comfortable at 50FPS as I am at 100. In fact, that's Cyberpunk right here, I was running Medium raytracing and realised I could spare the headroom for Ultra and still sit solidly in the 40-50 range even in busy scenes, so I did it. Is it something that I just can't see on my 10 year-old screen, or does it only come into play in competitive online twitch-shooters?

manifactures

Manufacturers.

You need better eyes then as the jump from 60 to 144 was quite evident to me, big enough to make me not want go back if i can help it.

Meanwhile anything approaching sub-40 fps is shiiiiiiiiit.

If the choice is between 1080p@144 and 2160p@60 then 60 it is.

The fantasy video game romance: "You're a great guy, you're very supportive, you respect me. Make love to me."

The reality romance: "$400 and I don't kiss."

 

[Semiurge]

At this point, the romance with Judy is, for all intents and purposes, something "semi-official" - no doubt modders will enable this in the game. Even if the CDPR tries to get the files out of the game in the next updates, at this point anyone with the initial/original version has them. The only question here is whether they will give in and officially activate it, or it will remain a MOD / cut content.

Can't watch that Judy video right now but are we sure it's real? You can do that whole questline as a dude, you just don't fuck her at the end. I watched just the sex scene part and there's obvious clipping issues all over the place, so it wasn't "done." Wondering if it might be fake news but if there's actual unique romance dialog for a dude , then okay, that's lame. I'm sure modders will sort it out anyway though.

Thing that annoyed me most with Judy honestly is the "tattooed hooker chick is actually the very moral, sweet and sensitive type" trope.

When aren't they. Chaotic Good on the streets vs. Lawful Evil high up in the towers is an old trope.

ain't we all?

Yes, you are.

So sad we gone from this in Witcher 1:

Spoiler

to just 1 per playthrough in Cyberpunk.

LOL'ling at the funny details. The angle and shape of that tree trunk in the dryad card, the strategically placed catfish and black cat, the rotting plague victims in the background...

Now those would be called toxic and sexist.

 

[TT1]

Why would y'all want your V to romance a tumblrista anyway?

Judy grew increasingly annoying for me as we went through her part of the main quest.

Yes. At some point I was expecting V to just have rough anal sex with her, then cum on her face and say "this is what whores like you deserve. Are you satisfied now?". Then he would throw her clothes out of the window and demand her to leave.

This would be perfect ending for her.

Any Judy straight conversion mods yet? If not, blasphemy.

Depends on the games, but it seems here the only choice is 1080p 30 fps lmao

Two pages about romances, RPGCodex showing the biggest priorities.

Apparently, R in RPG stands for romance.

PG is for target audience.

Spoiler

C is for cuck.

 

[Fedora Master]

I've never considered myself a "chauvinist pig", but it feels like when writing those flirty characters someone mistook "bitchy" for "strong character".

In other words they really understand women.

 

[Lyric Suite]

It's not about romances it's about them jettisoning 20 minutes of complete content to please a few woke retards who still hate them anyway.

 

[Yosharian]

I don't even like Judy as a character

 

[Turjan]

The Judy case isn't as simple as the one with Claire, where the whole "trans" aspect is completely superfluous. With Judy, it's implied that her relationship with Evelyn was a bit more than just friends (at least from her side), and her quest lives from the dynamics that her antagonist, Maiko, is her ex-lover who dumped her. The quest is even called "Ex-Factor". By the way, Maiko delivers a few choice words about Judy's character. There isn't really any big surprise involved when she friendzones a male V. I think she works well as a character, whether you like her or not.
