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

[fizzelopeguss]

Has there been a new patch or something? or is it just the Anime?

Latest patch added some neat token stuff like being able to save outfits (i.e. transmogs). Don't recall how long ago it released tho, so dunno if you're already familiar with that one.

It's just the a1nme. It's very good.

 

[fizzelopeguss]

I haven't played it since launch, and didn't get too far into it really. Was hoping for some new quests. Might give the Auntmay a watch though.

There have been some new quests (& freebie DLCs) added since release. Also, among other things, a few more apartments for V.

On an unrelated note, seeing how the anime deals with cyberpsychosis, question for other 'dexers: would you guys risk that shit by getting cybered up if we had that sort of tech irl?

the older I get the less willing I am, if you had asked me 20 years ago I would have gone with full cyberization close to the edge of a cyberzombie

No thanks. I couldn't mentally deal with a simple bone marrow transplant. I sure as fuck ain't dealing with cyber implants going into my body.

Shouldn't it be the other way around with seeing the slow decay of your physical condition due to age?

 

[NecroLord]

Bringing that shit in real life is going to cause some MAJOR problems.
See Deus Ex,where the divide between the augmented and non-augmented humans will cause civil unrest and violence.
Finally,with all the new technological advancements rolling in,the governments of our world will have every incentive to become more dictatorial and oppresive towards its citizens(a major theme in the first Deus Ex game).
Technology will not fix human nature nor the problems plaguing the human soul.

I'm not talking about the broader implications, just about how you'd personally tackle the question (and lets say that there is no economic downside to it, both the implants and the meds to keep your body from rejecting them coming for free).

The word filter is really hitting up this thread hard.

Oh hell yeah. That augmentation would be welcome,as any other which can fix or treat major illnesses for example.
However,there will be many problems when rolling that new tech on the market. Presumably only the really rich will be able to afford it at first,while the poor get the shaft. There will be protests,violence,and so on. Again,Deus Ex had the Gray Death,the rich rarely(if ever) got the disease and if they did,they had access to the vaccine,while the underclasses were screwed.

 

[KVVRR]

Personally I wouldn't mind getting some cyber implants here and there and fuck me if gorilla arms/jumper legs wouldn't be cool to have but, and this is going to sound ridiculous, I'd be scared shitless of a solar flare happening and basically rendering me a cripple.
Didn't the lunatic just right to Misty's shop rambling about something like that in the game?

It would seem so, but the older you get the more you realize cyborg implants would be a crutch, a futile attempt to stave off death. And most cyborg implants from cyberpunk literature/games have a very low utility for normal people living a normal life. You're better off living a healthy lifestyle of proper sleeping/doing some sport/good eating habits than becoming a machine with a brain in a soup glass at the core.

 

[Gargaune]

It's funny how the devs have tried to address some gripes that can't really be addressed anymore. People wanted more apartments but apartments are functionally pointless? Let's add some pointless buffs from making tea or taking a dump! People weren't happy with the limited interaction between V and the supporting cast? Let's make Panam annoy you over SMS!

No, the anime is really hitting this thread hard. And not just this thread, CBP's Nexus page has been overrun too. It's like a swarm of locusts, but instead of locusts it's anime.

In Deus Ex,mechanical augmentations also completely wrecks the social life of its possessor. See Gunther Hermann and Agent Navarre,who are so fucked up that they even compete against each other to see who has killed more NSF targets. It destroys a person's humanity,ironically enough,it doesn't elevate it.
Aaand,we have now turned a Cyberpunk 2077 thread into a Deus Ex one,which goes to show how much better the original Deus Ex is at building a dystopian and cyberpunk setting,while also delving into the morality and even tragic ramifications of enhancing the human body,but not its soul or aspirations.

Went with STR this time and with some implants you become waling tank.

Life is around 600
Biomonitor - at 15% of life it recovers 100% of life with 2minutes cooldown
Second Heart - at 0% it recoveres 100% of life with 60 sec cooldown.

Bretty good. I mostly played previously stealth/netrunning/techie but this time i went for dumb brute and so far it is pretty good. It is funny to watch people reactions when they say stuff like "you need to sneak into.... wait wait wait why are you shooting ? with V answering more or less: Anyways i started blastin'"

 

[Heroic Liberator]

That's one of the things I do like about the game. There are plenty of viable playstyles, although some do go bonkers in how overpowered they are in late game. Personally I prefer the classic commando style with a focus on tech weapons.

 

[Justicar]

Whan now codextards game died and flopped hard?

 

[DJOGamer PT]

Well, having a surge in popularity isn’t going to save it from sucking pretty hard.

The game is fine

Not really.

From what little I played back in 2021, despite all the flaws the game was more fun than my time with any R* games since GTA4 - plus the city was far more interesting to explore, given it's genuinely good level design and artstyle

Again fine
Not great, not terrible

Once the expansion and all it's updates drop, I'll give the game another try...

 

[DJOGamer PT]

Impressive comeback

 

[CthuluIsSpy]

Impressive comeback

So this is the power of having God and アニメ on your side.
(Mostly アニメ though)

STR and CON got merged into single stat so it obviously proves to be good. Are you hobo with a shotgun?
