I suppose if they called it the "Complete Edition" or somesuch, it would've been a tacit admission that the game didn't score any significant GotY awards.
It would have also been a tacit admission that the game was "incomplete" before the "complete" edition shipped :lol:

Mods can fix the size. Unfortunately there's no difference between playing as a futa character and a regular one. There's no pepe related mechanics. It's literally decoration... for a First person game. A game that puts underwear to your character when running around naked. You can literally only see your vault dweller in the items menu. It's hidden behind all these clown clothes that provide 948604986 armor points.

I like the irony of the first two sentences that Johnny says being perfectly applicable to the Cyberpunk players' relationship with CDPR :lol:

Another celeb game? Has CDPR hired Kojima or Chris Roberts?
I bet the new Witcher games will also have some actors in it.

Crashed plane, president Myers in shabby clothing, a bunch of cyber rabble in "dog town"... What you just watched is a trailer for Escape from New York Pacifica.

They're once again wasting money on a Hollywood actor instead of investing into introducing as much content as possible.
I fear we'll be seeing more and more of that going forward. The industry seems incapable of long term planning, they're just busy trying to one up one another on a quarterly basis.

LOL! The trailer starts with "How many times are you willing to get burn before you start stopping trusting someone?"
I wish they were mocking their costumers but i know they don't have that kinda wit, if any at all.

https://cyberpunk.fandom.com/wiki/New_United_States

The original United States of America – divided by bitter internal conflicts and stretched apart by dissident forces – finally collapsed into a potpourri of warring states and sprawling, abandoned territories. But when the dust finally settled and disaster became the new normal, the old dreams of unity and national pride were once more united under a new-and-improved star-spangled banner, behind which stands the New United States of America (NUSA). Rosalind Myers, the Union's incumbent president, is hell-bent on bringing the rest of the country in line, no matter the cost. Myers's government is supported militarily by Militech, so much so, in fact, that it's hard to tell where the state ends and the corporation begins. In that respect, not much has changed.

-

The Unification War, sometimes referred to as the Metal War(s), was an armed conflict between the New United States of America (NUSA) and an alliance of seceded states known as the Free States. The war started in January 2069 and ended in June 2070. At the end of 2069, the newly elected NUSA President, Rosalind Myers, presented a unification program to extend federal rule over the rogue Free States under the pretense of strengthening the nation. Most of the independent states opposed unification. Councilman Lucius Rhyne was worried the conflict would soon reach Night City, and through his contacts and connections pleaded for the Arasaka Corporation to return and protect them from the invasion. At the dawn of an impending invasion of Night City, Arasaka arrived in time with a supercarrier in Coronado Bay forcing the NUSA and Militech troops to retreat.

Following Arasaka's intervention, the NUSA and the Free States signed a treaty known as the Treaty of Unification in Arvin, South California, ending the Unification War. The treaty ensured the Free States would remain autonomous but would have to participate in the new federal government and hostilities among themselves would have to cease. President Myers agreed to this treaty because she feared Arasaka's increasing involvement could escalate the conflict into one the New United States could not afford. Both sides claimed victory; the Free States preserved their independence and the NUSA believed they were closer than ever to the reunification of America.

Although the Unification War was officially ended, leading AI analytics software predicts another "hot war" will likely to break out by 2080 with a 74% confidence rate.

The Gang of Four was an American political cabal comprised of the NSA, CIA, FBI, and DEA, formed at some unspecified time in the mid-20th century. During its existence, the Gang of Four amassed boundless political and military influence, operating in an extrajudicial manner and with no congressional oversight.

It was largely responsible for the collapse of the original United States, causing a crescendo of political, social and economic instability due to its dubious involvement in both local and foreign affairs.

tl;dr Reed (Elba) is an agent from "FIA" (federal intelligence agency?) who are probably the remnants of the disbanded CIA and apparently loyal to the president (or maybe it's just him), who is on the run after what looks like an assassination attempt by some corporation. Probably Militech, who decided they'd rather run the country themselves.

If that's the plot, the biggest difficulty with this DLC will be to not fall asleep midgame.

Why I'm a pessimist. The PR keeps pratting on about "a spy thriller expansion" but if this is realized through the mechanics they currently have, it's going to be an on-rails snoozefest worse than the original game's main questlilne.

Hacking minigame - wow, great spy thriller success. But what's worse, they will likely lean even heavier on the Braindance investigations, which are proven to be already pretty boring, and having zero replay value, because everything is staged for that one single go-through.

You speak as you are going to get this expansion. I mean, How many times are you willing to get burn before you start stopping trusting someone?
This to-be-franchise has barely any redeeming qualities, why not just play something else instead?
