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

[AwesomeButton]

The relevant framework mods were finally updated.
Now I can play the game with huge honkers and a fat ass (that I never really see) again.

Insert a joke about women playing RPGs.

BTW you can always ride a motor bike, and play in third person (with another mod).

There's almost a criminal lack of motor bikes in the game now that you mention it. At least ones you can buy and keep.

I recently found a free car equipped with guns so I've been using that, I'm not good with names but I was doing the Delemain quests chasing the last car down and Johnny brought my attention to it just parked there.
It had a mini quest to find the key and it was mine.

It’s not really a probably. It’s a definitely, without question, if CDPR wanted to give you the kind of depth of dialogue options as Fallout and Arcanum (especially Fallout, since there’s less) they could do it and keep the same kind of cinematic presentation they’re doing in Cyberpunk 2077. They probably recorded more lines of dialogue for Cyberpunk 2077 than Fallout has lines spoken and unspoken.

Cyberpunk 2077 undoubtedly has a vast quantity of dialogue relative to Fallout, but that is in relation to both the larger quantity of content (a much longer game, with many, many gigs) and to the padding necessitated by its style of presentation which has a much lower signal-to-noise ratio. Although it would have been comparatively trivial for extra dialogue to be added to accommodate Choice & Consequences within a single gig, encompassing the entire content in this manner would have required a multiplication of the already-immense number of recorded lines. Also, when I referred to "cinematic presentation", this was not merely the expense of recording voice-acted dialogue, though that must have been considerable, but also arranging scenes differently depending on C&C, a separate considerable expense that would also be multiplied.

Millions of eddies in netrunner tech and they're literal gorillas living in rubble with some weird Wakandian attitude that they're better than everyone else.

Yeah and 2 of their best hackers get soloed easily by a single netwatch agent who also cuts Placide off as you approach him and plants a virus that kills all the hackers including Brigitte.
Then after you make the deal with the agent (as you should) Placide finally reconnects with you in a moment of solitude with an incredibly profound, rare seen in gaming, exquisitely put question:

The question touches on philosophical concepts pondering the very existence itself. Truly deep.

WAT DI FOK?

Bad writing in, bad writing out.

That's why I kept him alive. Man knows his job.

Also his bodyguard was pretty tough.

negro free media, by white men for white men, is urgently needed before we all drown in a pool of brown shit

The Bible is already written, you have your guide for being a wholesome member of society. Figuratively speaking.

You can watch the best of the 20th century cinema, but every work carries the "pandering" of its own time to some degree. The truly timeless works are few, and even then are you looking for entertainment or enlightenment? If you turn your white identity into a cult, and start deliberately seeking out works, especially those of low-brow entertainment, which reinforce or "teach" you this identity, you turn into something like FNV's Ceaser who is practically larping a Roman emperor going by books he read. Why larp the thing you already are, namely a white man? Are you unsure of how you should carry yourself as one?

It's not that big of a stretch - after all, most art that Europeans would have experienced up to the times of pandering was made by Whites for the appreciation of fellow Whites, and that's very quality level we're hankering for.

I got into Cyberpunk somewhere halfway through, bored by the repetitive gameplay and shallow side quests. Yes, the main plot was effective, but that's the only thing I can say about it. In addition, the longer I played, the more it became apparent how much had been abandoned, how much was unfinished, how many things could have been better. Does the Phantom Liberty improve on these flaws a little? Or at least some?

If this expansion is again just about shooting in the hallway during main missions and reading boring notifications during side missions, then I'm not interested.

If you don't like the base game, you won't like the DLC either.

both characters are mentioned in dlc and how you delt with them

I think so, but I would like to finish it, and if I finish it, I'd like to finish it with DLC. That's why I'm collecting opinions.

Not talking about story content because I haven't finished the PL questline and because I'm not overly drawn by story stuff in general, I think the DLC adds some interesting areas and stuff to the base game and is a good addition. As Rhobar121 said though, if you don't like the base game, the DLC likely won't change your mind. I think it's a great DLC and improved the base game, but I loved CP77 since day 1.

Imo if you don't think it's fun to do a gig or NCPD crime fighter spot using your abilities, or even just roll around the city looking at the skyline at night, the DLC isn't going to change your mind.

So I'll wait for a good discount. Then I'll play. In about five or ten years.

I grinded for like 5+ hours to complete most of Regina's gigs, so that I could get hold of Hypercritical. Sometimes this game feels like a second job. There's just so much filler content.

thats specific gig reward. From regina you get cyberware after you complete all the gigs.
Thing is if you get dlc installed, you can get same piece for money.
In general rewards were not revisited/are meh. Wakako got this katana, which effect now exists as perk. Also other iconic katans got it too

Like I said 'most' not all, you have to do 20 gigs for her before she offers the Hypercritical gig to you.

And I want to leave PL to last

Also I am talking about the quality of the gigs, not the quality of the reward

 

[AwesomeButton]

After I did his first round of gigs in Dogtown, Mr. Hands showed me his face. Now I'm afraid what he will show if I complete the second round.

And I want to leave PL to last

Make sure you don't get too far in the levels, if that progression factors into your fun.

I didn't know they changed it.

Some discussion of the engine change:

 

[Child of Malkav]

Been doing a bunch of gigs and they're like outposts from Far Cry. Very good. Completely forgot about them.

That doesn't happen.
Netwatch agents puts a virus into you, which gives Netwatch a backdoor into VDB's network. When Netwatch invades during your meeting with Alt, Alt blows up the entire Agwe subnet and kills all the VDBs to cut off the Netwatch's attempt at attacking her.
