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

[Mefi]

Yes she says that V construct was affected by Johnny construct even after she separetes V and Johnny so V is not he same person he was at the start of the game.

The haiku about cuckoos from the station has a similar message to that. Do wonder whether Arasaka has fully removed Johnny if you take up their offer to become an engram and wait for a potential body in the future. The whole station sequence is a bit weird and open to reading as a 'dream' or whatever.

 

[Gargaune]

Sorry, I deleted cos I realised I'd misunderstood the question. I think that question is explained by the Alt endings, isn't it? You need an AI to disentangle the two. So V becoming an engram is in fact the V/Johnny mix (and more Johnny than V at that point) becoming an engram.

Yes she says that V construct was affected by Johnny construct even after she separetes V and Johnny so V is not he same person he was at the start of the game.

This is also heavily implied in the Arasaka ending, wherein the construct is "successfully" removed but the damage can't be repaired and V still hears Johnny in their nightmares. Prior to that, Johnny outright says that "he" had become part of V's consciousness, so Arasaka removing the construct is akin to removing part of V's person.

But none of this explains why V can't simply get an engram copy as a potential backup for the future and then head back to NC to live out their remaining six months. The game tells us that Arasaka developed the tech to the point it's possible, as seen on Saburo and their other clients, but the offer facing V is operating on Soulkiller parameters, with the copy procedure being fatal.

Unless the entire thing on the space station is some sort of hallucination and V's already dead and being manipulated in Arasaka's data cloud, with the real choices presented meaning either archival or deletion. But that seems like an excessively grim interpretation, with the possible clues being this technical inconsistency, that "Mikoshi" is written on the space station and that the prompt on that last elevator ride after apprehending Yorinobu said "take one last trip." On the flipside, you can at one point call friends back on Earth from the orbital station and it seems illogical that Arasaka would betray V like that only to then turn around and give them a choice between archival and deletion, it seems more like they'd do whatever they wanted. If that were the intended reading of this particular epilogue, CDPR would've gone to counterproductive lengths to obscure it.

 

[Mefi]

The whole space station ending is a mess of contradictions and begins with "You've lost all your memories on how you got here" and ends with (on the engram ending) Misty telling you that her tarot reading is "The fool, the moon, and the high priestess" (or start of a journey, reality isn't what it seems, and mystery). Feels like writing done to try and force the binary decision point with things which have slipped through the editing (eg Takemuro saying Hanako has forgotten about V before the very next line saying he's been personally sent by Hanako...) or done just to seed doubt in the reality of the ending, such as the weirdness of the haiku quoting guard who also offers life advice which echoes Johnny's last spoken words to V in that ending.

I'm honestly surprised ShillUp hasn't deleted this video after release, because I've never heard so much shit come out of someone's mouth in 50 minutes. Having played the game and watching this now, it's like hearing a Jehovah's witness promoting their beliefs. Yeah, they believe in it, but you and everybody else knows it's bullshit.

I unsubbed from Shill Up the moment he said WD Legion was an open world immersive sim. Before that he was tolerable but that thing was the last straw for me. I didn't watch him since. But it's not surprising, like all YouTubers he wants views and money so of course he's gonna shill. And there are masses of retards who actually believe what these influencers are feeding them.

Anybody who listens to this motherfucker after he praised outer worlds as being "immersive and fun rpg" deserve what they get.

Why the fuck do you listen to any jewtuber nigger? It's a waste of life all of them are shills you could spend your time more productive banging your head on the wall.

You watched a 50 minute video reviewing Cybercuck 2077?

There are even people here who actually bought the game.

 

[Rinslin Merwind]

Leave it to codexers to be an angry losers with brain rotten enough to think that main mass of people, who buys AAA drivel, even watch any review, let alone accustom their buying habits around it.

And there are masses of retards who actually believe what these influencers are feeding them.

If it was the case - sports games would be destroyed long ago, because majority of popular review channels shit on them 24/7. No, the main problem is not youtubers without any understanding of "immersive sim" term, but faceless mass of people who don't look at games as intricate hobby, but just as chewing millennia old bubble gum (chewed whole millennia before by other people) to pass time during their daily routine. They don't care about terminology/reviews/yada-yada - they buy shit, just for sake of buying. These people can't even tell what exactly was special in the game they bought, because they did not paid attention.

Except he wasn't praising the game that much? At least, when I watched his review, I was under impression that ShillUp is trying to protect his ass from angry CDPR fanatics, who refused to believe that their devotion is misplaced and CyberPunk is trash. If he would to go on full crusade against the game - it would result in many people unsubscribe in their butthurt, because CDPR cult was THAT strong. Hell, I tried to warn people around me about Cyberpunk being shit some time before release, yet after heated discussion people refused to talk with me about this game during month or so and only repeated "in CDPR we trust".

Also, I don't understand why people complain that ShillUP's shitty review is still up, because deleting it would be a bit more scummy and cowardly move imho.
But yeah, you people can continue to be pissed at randoms on youtube, instead of realizing that real problem is more complex and deeply rooted.

Also, what's up with people and their butthurt about long reviews? Your brain incapable to process more than 10 min of video information or something?

Reminder that skillup spent his entire time playing Dark Alliance spamming weak attack because he had no stamina to use strong attacks because he never bothered to try a combo and therefore never discovered the mechanic to regen stamina. He might be below game journalist tier and that's terrifying

Someone's about to release a gameplay mod. Prepare your TL; DR ratings.

I tried to rework as little as possible and focus mostly on bug fixing and numbers balancing to keep it feeling as close as possible to the vanilla game mechanically.

It's gonna be shit - the vanilla mechanics are atrocious. The game doesn't need "balancing", it needs a complete overhaul.

 

[Justicar]

Playing the flawless materpiece Wlitcher 3 in 2021 so much better than Cyberpunk you have to wonder if those games were made by the same people .

 

[Child of Malkav]

They clearly weren't. Not to mention the various people that left CDPR over the years.

Yeah? Is the whole game filled with those? Cherry picking ain't a skill, bitch.

He isn't even trans, just someone who cross-dresses in his free time. You also don't get all that Beamdog or Bioware bs, where a person tells you his life story of "being female, but born in a male body" the first time you meet.
But elves are gay anyways, so who cares.

[Twiglard]

In Cyberpunk you can beat the tranny to death as C&C. I'd say it's incline.

Uhhh, I said that the 2 games weren't made by the same devs, considering the drop in the level of quality between the 2 and the fact that many left since W3 was finished. In the next post you agreed with me. What the fuck? And what's your obsession with trannies? Trying to tell us something?

Forget patch 1.3. Megamod coming Friday, 8/20 5pm PST

For those of you who don't know, Megamod is just me releasing a mod that fixes many aspects of Cyberpunk's gameplay. I don't mean just giving the enemies more hp or nerfing short circuit. The description I currently have is ~6500 words. It's ~50% bug fixes, 35% balancing, and 15% drugs. I tried to rework as little as possible to keep the gameplay as close to what the vanilla game was intended to be.
I know I've pushed it back before, but now I'm in the final stages, just got to tweak some numbers. I'm really definitely probably going to release it next Friday, 5pm PST

For those of you interested in reading it, here's the whole description. There's going to be a bit more added to it related to xp and levels, but this is a mostly complete description:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1S4JcdLJMJ45efG-LwpKXiUmHsUiRYaCaWKJUgXgxjcc/edit?usp=sharing

Yes release all your hard work so 1.3 can come out faster to break it all. You are the hero we need, but don't deserve.

I've thought this might happen, but I believe.
