Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty

[runic mango]

my car is still broken I got jackies moto

but it has a stash as well nevermind

[drowsy thunder]

buy the nomad car

orange one

[normal quarry]

Guys

[drowsy thunder]

it's a very good early game car

[normal quarry]

we need a cyberpunk prequal

[runic mango]

what o you think im made out of eddies

[normal quarry]

it would be cool to play a cyberpunk game set in jonny silverhands time

[runic mango]

im trying to get chromed out and thats expensive lol

[drowsy thunder]

there was

i think

the 2020 and RED versions

[wet plank]

Big bada boom

Huh? Just sell it faster

[runic mango]

priorities double jump lol

[normal quarry]

I meant like in video game format

[wet plank]

I’m not trying to go through my stash every few minutes

[normal quarry]

stuff like this

like hacking requires an actual computer

would make for a great cyberpunk 2077 prequal with everything being different

[tribal mortar]

RED made it VR

[wet plank]

So….Watch Dogs? Lol

[tribal mortar]

AR"

[normal quarry]

AR? TIL

[normal quarry]

kinda

[wet plank]

I’m gonna go play watch dogs after I finish this

It’s making me want to play more hacking games

[tribal mortar]

It's in the same gamespace so netrunners aren't playing a different game

[normal quarry]

also why are people still using gas in 2077?

[wet plank]

Because the sound of the engine

[tribal mortar]

They'd be past those by after 2050

[wet plank]

Cool factor

And oil companies

[tribal mortar]

It's CHOO2

[normal quarry]

CHOO2?

[wet plank]

Choo choo

[normal quarry]

ohh

https://cyberpunk.fandom.com/wiki/CHOOH2

[wet plank]

Choo 2

Oh it’s grain based alcohol fuel

Interesting

Alcohol does not burn very hot at all

[normal quarry]

it's so weird but I love it

[wet plank]

But it would make a small explosion

So I guess it works

[tribal mortar]

It's genetically modified

[wet plank]

They should have a electric car in this game called the Edison lol

[drowsy thunder]

if only it was possible :(

[normal quarry]

you know what we need from cyberpunk 2077 to real life?

[drowsy thunder]

imagine a tasty wheat while also being a clean fuel component

[wet plank]

(I know Tesla was way better irl but Elon ruined it)

[normal quarry]

reliable renewable energy sources

and nuclear power

[wet plank]

Pretty sure we have them

Problem is getting them implemented in place of gasoline

Or other power plant types

[normal quarry]

I mean we have them but unfortunately people seem to care more about renewable energy

[wet plank]

The infrastructure is there, oil companies own the world, etc

[normal quarry]

than nuclear when it should be both imo

[normal quarry]

I'm kinda worried about electric cars

Since it's gonna massively increase the energy needs when it becomes a common thing

[wet plank]

Sounds like an easy problem to fix

[runic mango]

can we just appreciate how cool we can be

[wet plank]

Energy is all around us

Oil is not

[normal quarry]

true stuff like nuclear power, the most reliable source of energy in the world

[wet plank]

I’m more talking about Solar and wind power and harnessing magnetic fields

[normal quarry]

even though nuclear energy isn't renewable by the time we ran out of nuclear energy it's gonna be a long time before we are gona ran out

[wet plank]

Lol if I saw that in real life I would just laugh. Looks like some ninja anime wannabe

But in the context of the game? Yes ok it looks kinda badass

How would you even use a katana on a motorcycle

How would you hit the gas or clutch

[normal quarry]

yeah

[runic mango]

true but yes we are talking about cyberpunk lol I cant drive a bike im not even licensed irl

[normal quarry]

Corpo v is best v

[wet plank]

Never done corpo but somehow I doubt that

The entire game is based on fucking over corpos lol

And how they’re sucking out the soul of the city

[runic mango]

this is my first corpo v playthrough an dialogue choices are very contrasting to the other two playthroughs

[wet plank]

Does Johnny just hate you?

He fucking loathes corps

[normal quarry]

hmm I kinda don't remember

been a couple of years since i last played cp77

[runic mango]

wont tell you so you get to see first hand

[wet plank]

Fine I’ll have to do a female corpo playthrough I guess

I really don’t like playing through the story missions over and over

I just love skill and gear progression

[runic mango]

eventually youll want to try a dif build though no?

[wet plank]

Was planning on loading a save from post Heist and going from there

Or making a save and using the respec

[runic mango]

thats smart

[wet plank]

Lol I kinda love finding the best combat areas and making a save then going at it a number of different ways until I’m satisfied

[runic mango]

i cant stash the body if it wont let me close the bathroom door

nvmd i found the spot lol

[wet plank]

Lol

I got stuck inside a vendor building yesterday because I could only speak to the vendor and not open the damn door

[runic mango]

I think this si the first time I havnt demolished clouds

[wet plank]

God dammit. I finally did a run at this boss I was happy with and the stupid game crashes

Holy hell synapse burnout does SO much damage if you exhaust your ram first then activate overclocked and proc it

Literally half of this bosses health on Hard

[runic mango]

i kill fingers everytime but this time im gonna see what he has for sale

[wet plank]

Wait hold up

I can throw axes!?

[wet plank]

Lmao bruh. 2.0 made every vendor have the same gear

Only pre-2.0 did fingers have exclusives

[runic mango]

damnit

[wet plank]

Now it makes sense to kill him

[runic mango]

welp

[wet plank]

It didn’t before

Awww shiet, we have an electric throwing axe from this boss bish

[runic mango]

I wanna throw axes

[wet plank]

Holy hell it does like double the damage of a throwing knife

Iconic you get off a voodoo boys boss in Dogtown

I didn’t realize you could throw axes

[runic mango]

drops common loot

[wet plank]

Return time is very high tho

[wet plank]

Because all loot scales now

[runic mango]

[wet plank]

You get bigger chances at higher tier shit the higher level you are

[shadow sparrow]

that guy sucks

[wet plank]

I still see some white drops

But mostly all purple and orange now

[wet plank]

Yea I’ve always killed him in the past

[shadow sparrow]

I hate his little hip pump

[runic mango]

grosses me out

[wet plank]

He looks like V could sneeze on him and his bones would break

I’m surprised punching him didn’t kill him

I had to pull out the explosive rounds

Lol this axe looks pulled directly from Dying Light

Electric mod axe

Gonna be amazing for stealth kills but shitty for mid combat since the return time is so damn high

[runic mango]

I always pick up his iconic though

[wet plank]

Same but I never really end up using it

Iconics are SUPPOSED to display on your wall at home

But nothing is displaying on my walls

Dude there’s so many areas of the map that you can fully explore yet have nothing whatsoever in them

Just massive empty buildings

[runic mango]

I keep unaliving people by mistake my right mouse button is to sensitive lol

just gonna stand further away

[wet plank]

Lmao yea if you’re holding a melee weapon and talking to someone sometimes I accidentally kill them

Side objective kept failing because of that yesterday

Or I’ll hit a weak point on an enemy and it kills the friendlies in the area with explosion

2000dmg on crit with this axe lol

Can one shot skull enemies on Hard

[runic mango]

contagion with crit and boost duration is awesome

[wet plank]

Except it makes tracing happen instantly lol

Every upload adds to the trace

Including the spread ones

[runic mango]

just 33 percent

[wet plank]

For every single time it spreads lol

So yea, 100% fast

[runic mango]

u sure?

[wet plank]

Yup

You can use memory wipe before contagion so it can’t be traced but the second it spreads, it traces

[tribal mortar]

There's risk of trace for hacks now

[wet plank]

Oh it’s SO easy to get around

But not early on

Must have tier 3-4 hacks to start ignoring tracing and doing what you want

[tribal mortar]

It's so netrunning doesn't break the game immediately anymore

[wet plank]

Memory wipe says “any hack followed by memory wipe is untraceable”

[tribal mortar]

It makes it more useful tbh

[wet plank]

And tier 5 mem wipe is like 32 ram vs tier 4 is 10

So I continue to use tier 4 so I can stack and stealth combat hack

I have optical camo and relic perk for exiting combat it I need it

Don’t need 32RAM mem wipe for that

[wet plank]

I like it. Early on I was pissed but now I get it. It’s more involved now and you have to stack hacks or think abo it what to use when instead of spamming contagion

[tribal mortar]

I spammed contagion 💀😭

[wet plank]

I did my first playthrough

I never killed the voodoo boys in the main mission so I’m wiping them out in the DLc every chance I get lol

[wet plank]

Probably doesn’t have very good aim

Ah. I didn’t realize i should be keeping every single tier of weapon mod

Upgrading weapon mods takes lower tier of the same type of mod and combines them

[pearl walrus]

Yo wtf why is this suddenly a horror game lol

[wet plank]

This axe might be my favorite weapon in the game lol

My V trying to be all sneaky and sneaking down the stairs makes 25x glass bottles explode somehow

[wet plank]

100% crit chance Jesus lol

-8 ram tho

And a whopping 50 cyberware points for one thing

Goddamn. The Bd merchants in the black market area sell like 10x permanent progression shards

dolphin jerky is a consumable

Oh what. We can upgrade OS

[drowsy thunder]

everything lol

[wet plank]

Dammit why can there not be a stealth iconic OS

The iconic has 25 base ram

And my araska stealth one has 14

So of course I want more ram but upgrading the stealth one makes traceability 60% less then 80% less

They’ll never know where I am lol

But the netdiver one cuts vehicle hacks in half as far as cost which def comes in handy

[pearl walrus]

Just finished the dlc

[wet plank]

I’m milking it for as long as I can lol

I just went back and spent 400,000 at the black market area

[pearl walrus]

Haven’t finished dlc content but I’ve finished the main story of the dlc I mean

[wet plank]

The air drops apparently regen?

This is the second time I’ve done this one

[pearl walrus]

Ye

[wet plank]

Weird

I guess it’s a small part of the map

They do have a shitload of map they could’ve done more with down south here

Dogtown isn’t very big

[wet plank]

Dude I dunno what I’m doing wrong but El Capitan keeps saying “you tucked up” and the mission fails. I didn’t hit a single thing and had a Full 2:00m left on the clock

Makes no damn sense

[shadow sparrow]

are you sure theres nobody near you still in battle when you pull into the spot?

[wet plank]

I’m nowhere near it

I have 2km left and 2:00m left on the clock

And I’ve tried this like 5x now

He always says “sorry, you fucked up” and it fails halfway to the drop off point

Every time you reload it’s a different style too so I’ve tried it as timed, as combat, etc

Always fails

I was doing these missions fine for a long time now every single one just fails

Super lame

[drowsy thunder]

maybe they're meant to fail?

idk

haven't been able to play 😭

[wet plank]

No I was doing them fine for a long time

I got a handful of his discount tokens

Now any time I try to do one it fails

Wow V is a terrible dancer and why isn’t dancing in 3rd person

[runic mango]

Lmao its bad

little bit of hand moving a dysnchro two step

[wet plank]

How does Mr.Hands leave his apartment in dogtown looking like that.

He’d get mobbed so fast

[pearl walrus]

Ending spoilers: || shiiit so the only way to save v’s life is to condemn songbird to a fate worse than death and to kill Johnny once and for all ||

[wet plank]

Oh son of a birch I locked myself out of I’ll Fly Away apparently. I wish it was way more obvious which missions should be done before others.

Yea no one here has done the dlc ending yet lol

[drowsy thunder]

son of a birch

[wet plank]

Sure, a sapling

Yea every single car mission now fails

Guess I can’t do any more of those until a patch

[pearl walrus]

more ending spoilers: || and even then V still loses everything anyway. Starting to think the best ending really is fucking off with panam ||

[pearl walrus]

continuing ending spoilers but only for base game: || yeah, V almost certainly still dies but at least he gets to spend his remaining time among those he can call family ||

[drowsy thunder]

i'm glad you spoilered it

i might delist this channel because clicking those is very tempting

[pearl walrus]

|| just about the only ending that doesn’t leave me feeling hollow. Don’t fear the reaper is cool and all but staying in NC afterwards as a merc is kinda lame. He has money and cred galore but once again he loses what’s most important. Plus there’s no telling the Mr. Blue eyes and whatever he’s after in the crystal palace will actually be able to help him or not. If Arasaka, the people who made the relic couldn’t, and if the neural matrix could only do it at great personal cost, then what the fuck could they possibly do for him? ||

[wet plank]

This air drop was already unlocked and shit taken out of it

Apparently they can steal stuff if you’re not fast enough

[wet plank]

Yea no one in this channel has finished the DLC story missions

I’m taking my time and there’s a lot of side shit to do

Definitely not clicking those

[pearl walrus]

That’s why I marked them as spoilers

[drowsy thunder]

must. resist. click.

[wet plank]

There’s so many damn side missions and gifs holy crap

I finished a main story mission for the dlc and allll these phone calls rolled in

[drowsy thunder]

i'll take that as a good thing

upside to not playing is that i'll have all the do's and dont's neatly lined up for me to watch as videos/read as text from people who've finished it

[runic mango]

this psycho took me down 4 times

the one that did all this thing jeez that was tough and exilirating

[wet plank]

Sasquatch was a tough as shit fight for me

[runic mango]

as that the meched up vet one?

[pearl walrus]

|| why can I not destroy this pre-data krash robot but I can turn Adam smasher into a scrap pile using a dildo? ||

[runic mango]

adam smasher vulnerable to dildo crits

[drowsy thunder]

What does this contain

[pearl walrus]

It’s not really major story spoilers especially without context. Basically, there’s an enemy that you can’t kill or damage in any way and instead have to run and hide from in a large but enclosed space

And I’m wondering why the fuck I can’t damage it at all

[wet plank]

Lol i found a non-lethal chainsaw sword

[wet plank]

Not sure any of us are there yet

I have a billion side missions to do before I can continue the story stuff

[pearl walrus]

It’s not really a spoiler if that’s what you’re worried about

[wet plank]

Well yea but I have no idea what a pre-data crash robot is either

There’s a room full of bots on one of the gigs in dogtown

[runic mango]

did you attach a non lethal mod to the chainsaw sword or is it just sawless

[wet plank]

It dropped with a non lethal mod on it

Kinda funny for a literal chainsaw

[runic mango]

would be kind of funny ngl

[drowsy thunder]

Oh shit that actually is a spoiler

This means that ||legacy AI has actually found a way back into the real world where V lives in||

[runic mango]

[drowsy thunder]

Welp..time to delist his channel

This*

[runic mango]

yep

[drowsy thunder]

It's been fun knowing y'all

[pearl walrus]

Wtf are you talking about

I meant that it’s an old fucking robot

I like how the guy who isn’t playing this dlc just decided that what I was saying was a spoiler when I know in fact it isn’t

[runic mango]

I still have no idea whats going on

[pearl walrus]

Kinda pissed me off just now ngl

[drowsy thunder]

I care very little lol

[runic mango]

this is on the spoiler forum though meh

[drowsy thunder]

Well yeah talking in off-topic about the game gets you redirected here by both the staff and minimods

[runic mango]

oh shit didnt know.

im just thoroughly enjoying roning and blades

combo finish

[wet plank]

What. This drop point is broke lol

[wet plank]

I mean. Not a single person in this server that’s paying attention to this channel is as far ahead as you.

I’ve been playing this game nonstop for a week and I am nowhere near getting to even halfway through the DLc story because there’s a ton of side shit to do and I’m not trying to rush the story.

[runic mango]

not even close apparently lol

im built safe from spoilers though cause i forget half the shit i do in game anyway

[wet plank]

Yea there’s a lot of gigs, badass enemy areas with good loot, side missions etc

It’s hard to ignore all that and end the game as fast as possible to see the ending

[runic mango]

I try to finish out my starting sector first but even then its taking awhile

[wet plank]

I did some grinding before the heist yea but not every little thing

Stuff scales now so you can save some for later

[runic mango]

meh i want to find free cars and stuff lol

[wet plank]

Cars are now purchased at a vending machine

[runic mango]

I also just enjoy running around the map looking into ally ways

[wet plank]

And the vending machines all have the same stock

There’s one or two missions that give a free car but that’s it

Not like before

[wet plank]

Lol everything is dead in seconds

[runic mango]

foreal im a straight menace just looking for a yellow icon to pop up and instigating fights

[drowsy thunder]

Have you gotten the hoon?

[drowsy thunder]

^

[runic mango]

I have not

[drowsy thunder]

It's a tribute to Ken Block

It's in a shed

Hold up I'll send an image

[runic mango]

i havnt started the dlc

[wet plank]

It’s a mission

No it’s base game

In Watson

[runic mango]

see im spoiler proof

[wet plank]

Finding the key is the hardest part

It’s a badass car in a warehouse just sitting there and Johnny says to get in but it’s locked

Key is in a box under a fallen shelf

[drowsy thunder]

[wet plank]

I searched that place for like 15 minutes

Couldn’t find it then looked it up lol

[runic mango]

[drowsy thunder]

It took me 10 seconds

It looks so good

Are there any orange or matte black cars in the expansion

[wet plank]

Dude I went there looking for your car vendor and I couldn’t find shit up there lmao

Then later I was doing a race and came across it

Couldn’t figure out how to get in

[drowsy thunder]

Huh wym my car vendor

[wet plank]

Then realized oh. That’s the car you were talking about lol

[drowsy thunder]

Those images are from my friend

Who doesn't crash on launch

[wet plank]

I was expecting the old car system still

I hadn’t played 2.0 yet

[drowsy thunder]

He hasn't researched print screen yet

[drowsy thunder]

OH

[wet plank]

Yea I was looking for a pip on the map

[drowsy thunder]

Silly

[wet plank]

Or icon lol

[drowsy thunder]

Nope it was completely stelfh

[wet plank]

Oh hey a mission for cyberpunk bell Delphine lol

[runic mango]

time to get my free car

[wet plank]

Aw what I can’t buy any of her merch

Not even the baseball bat

Lmao. This is def not who I thought it was hahaha

[runic mango]

do i wanna know?

[wet plank]

It’s funny, you’ll see

[runic mango]

going on foot but i heard its that way

[drowsy thunder]

https://youtu.be/FPrpx00f4ZU?si=bzWmPrRD5isg-tFh

Certainly not for everyone (screamo) but this is amazing

[wet plank]

Oh. I wonder if El Capitan is upset because I haven’t done his “priority” mission yet?

I’m gonna try that then do another car thing

[runic mango]

spiderman webslinging would be such a good mod

[wet plank]

Probably get sued lol

But that would be fun as hell

[runic mango]

almost there

it wont let me do it sus

[drowsy thunder]

Probably tied to a gig or scanner hustle

[runic mango]

why yall lying to me

[wet plank]

The actual mission didn’t show for me until later in the game

[runic mango]

fucking waste of time lol

[wet plank]

But I figured you could go there and find the key because I drove past the car pretty early and Johnny said to get in but I couldn’t figure out how and was chasing people

[wet plank]

I think it’s only after Act 1 or somethin I dunno

It’s an amazing car tho

[runic mango]

meh ill look into it

I have only myself to blame for going on foot

[wet plank]

Steal a car or soemthing damn

[runic mango]

I like the rush of hoppign and skipping

ive grown extremely attached to this thing

[wet plank]

Oh yea the knives get better too

[runic mango]

this is legit an act one knife and its my favey

[wet plank]

I’m getting better at aiming then but it’s tough

Pretty sure aim assist does not work with melee throws lol

Only guns

[runic mango]

easier on mouse and keyboard

[wet plank]

Yea

A face hit is very satisfying

Also a great way to maintain stealth

[runic mango]

Extrememly rewarding damage pop

obligatory sharp thing throw highlight

[wet plank]

Yea somehow more fun to me than guns or pure melee I dunno lol

You are going to love this axe

On crit it explodes with EMP blast

[runic mango]

it is for me it the thrill of if you miss you have to play fetch with yourself

[wet plank]

Or wait yea

I have two throwables equipped in case I miss or for bigger enemies

[runic mango]

wait? oh no

[wet plank]

Knife then axe

[runic mango]

I sprint until i die

[wet plank]

It returns to you automatically lol

Some knives take like 1 second others take 4-9sec

[runic mango]

trying to up my dps with a throwable knife come on

[wet plank]

Fair

[drowsy thunder]

Wait huh there's no return on Crit perk?

[wet plank]

There are perks for that

[wet plank]

There is but it’s on crit not head shot

I have it

[drowsy thunder]

In the base game if you got a Crit it would return to yoh instantly

Ah

[wet plank]

With the perk it’s on crit yea

[drowsy thunder]

Fuck I forgot the name there was this neurotoxin knife

[wet plank]

wait it’s only if you kill with a crit, headshot, or poison

[drowsy thunder]

Named one that has 100% Crit chance

[wet plank]

Has to be a kill or down of the enemy from those then it returns instantly

[drowsy thunder]

Blue Fang

[wet plank]

That’s not what that has

[runic mango]

I think im gonna be blades and small throwable item build

[wet plank]

Blue Fang stuns enemies

[drowsy thunder]

Hmm, then it's a different knife

[wet plank]

150 headshot like normal, 20 bleed, 50 poison chance and then it stuns

[runic mango]

I have some points in body for mitigation and health regen and on medium with a shit teir knife it has gone well

[drowsy thunder]

Or I might be thinking about wakako's katana before 2.0

[wet plank]

Stuns after 1 sec with headshot whcih is amazing

It locks even big bads in stun animation

But I’ve been using headhunter knife with this new axe

[wet plank]

Headhunter marks the enemy and if you hit their head after it deals double damage

[wet plank]

Juggler

It’s above at 15 cool

Instant cooldown reset on kill with those theee

[runic mango]

I just saw it ye im excited to have fun with this and then change my mind two hours later

[wet plank]

I didn’t even grab those side perks

Didn’t seem worth it reslly

But I’m not running at them and meleeing them either

Mostly stealth knife or axe shots

Or mid combat too but I always throw

[drowsy thunder]

I wanted to go for a blunt build as my first PL playthrough

I think I'm gonna have to change my mind

[shadow sparrow]

they added a fuck ton of camera mode poses

or I never saw some of these before

[wet plank]

I’ve only opened photomode on accident lol

[shadow sparrow]

swore I checked them all out but dont remember these weird ones

[drowsy thunder]

"like one of your french girls" if my favorite

[wet plank]

This throwing axe causes EMP explosions on head hits lol

[shadow sparrow]

only spoiler cause its an outfit you cant get

[drowsy thunder]

Mods?

[shadow sparrow]

nah its a quest outfit

[drowsy thunder]

Oh

[wet plank]

Why can’t you get t it

[shadow sparrow]

I dont think it really reveals anything about the quest but

[wet plank]

Oh for jova

[wet plank]

I haven’t looked at all the new clothes I’ve been picking up lol

I hardly ever see myself so what’s the point of changing all the time

[shadow sparrow]

I love photomode so I like having an outfit set up

[runic mango]

same

[wet plank]

There should be more times where it goes 3rd person

Like when you’re dancing at clubs and stuff

Just more opportunities to see the whole outfit

Basically just on motorcycles

[shadow sparrow]

this one does have some quest spoilerish in the background so dont click if you're not playin or still early

[runic mango]

schnazzy

[shadow sparrow]

I hope I can keep this outfit lol

[pearl walrus]

You can and will

[shadow sparrow]

nice

[pearl walrus]

Did you finish the dlc yet?

[shadow sparrow]

no

[pearl walrus]

That was a stupid question in retrospect

[runic mango]

im gonna purchase property

[wet plank]

Why lol

You’re early game enough that it makes no sense

[runic mango]

because i never do

[wet plank]

I haven’t bought a single apartment still

Seems like a waste of money

My pet kitty and pet iguana are only at one apartment

[runic mango]

Im buying this one cause it looks semi close to where the dlc content is

[wet plank]

That’s a whole nice car lol

[runic mango]

ive been running everywhere

[wet plank]

So buy a car lol

[runic mango]

no

[wet plank]

Fine

The dash mechanic is pretty awesome

And I don’t even have it spec’d out fully

[shadow sparrow]

[wet plank]

Mostly for when combat breaks out I can get around faster

[runic mango]

dah mechanic with double jump timesd is so fun

pretty nice apartment

comes with a nespresso

said coffee gives you stamina buff for a whole damn hour

sleeping in apartment give you hour xp buff

bethedaissh I like

[normal quarry]

uh oh

[wet plank]

Slow down time while in the air?

Is there a perk for that

[runic mango]

no you can time your dash in sprint initiate jump and double jump for what feels like flying

dont know about the perk but its been a mechanic since base game

[normal quarry]

I also love how hackign in 2023 compared to 2077 requires a portable PC

[wet plank]

Lol yea some of these missions I’m definitely doing “out of order” johnnys all pissy but I just did all his missions where he’s super nice to us

There should be like a small hint for missions as to which should kind of come before others

So you could still do whatever you want but it wouldn’t be so confusing

[wet plank]

Oh. I never knew that

[runic mango]

tough to recreate with early on character

[wet plank]

I only just recently got dash

I’ve mostly been stealth but when it does go combat I was too slow so grabbed dash

[runic mango]

been telling you about a mechanic with out having it unlocked..its really HaarrRD to ReecKreatte

[normal quarry]

yeah that would have been nice

cyberpunk 2023 when?

[wet plank]

Lmao you don’t have dash ha

[runic mango]

literally just used dodge momentum to recreate

[wet plank]

Dodge kinda sucks

Dash is amazing

I should’ve gotten it much earlier

[runic mango]

atleast you can see its doable without dash but its a PITA

[wet plank]

I was going for hacking heavy early on but it gets a little boring after awhile so it’s a mix now

[runic mango]

nothing better than being an edge/netrunner

[normal quarry]

Adam smasher looks a little different

[runic mango]

younger less 1s and 0s lol

[normal quarry]

lol

[pearl walrus]

That’s 2023 Adam Smasher

[runic mango]

honestly great halloween idea given the year and content

[runic mango]

forever freindzone

thanks lol

[shadow sparrow]

Judy ❤️

[wet plank]

Too bad she leaves. I’ll have to try and smooch her as a lady

She’s so pretty and cool

[pearl walrus]

I like panam. She’s the definition ride or die

[runic mango]

she is so much cooler but I like Panama shes got more spunk

[wet plank]

Panam makes the most sense as nomad V and she’s always the one I’ve gone for before

But Judy is my favorite

She just not into dudes so we besties

[runic mango]

panam can weild a rocket launch and sniper rifle so theres that

[wet plank]

Panam sent me a steamy photo lol

This game soemtimes

She texts you constantly too, so many conversations

[normal quarry]

you know what sucks?

[runic mango]

our love story begins again for the 4th time lol

[wet plank]

Kinda weird that you do her missions and she becomes bae then I have to go and do all this other stuff lol

Just like yea I’m dying but I’ll be back eventually

[normal quarry]

Cyberpunk 2077 doesn't tell you what calibre the guns unlike in starfield 😦

[wet plank]

Pretty sure it does though

[runic mango]

judy is like yo oregons dope

[normal quarry]

wait really? I can't see it anywhere

[pearl walrus]

And I kinda agree with Johnny on his take on Judy. “Refuses to take the door, jumps out the window, and is surprised when she gets hurt”. What did she think the tyger claws would do after we stormed the place and killed their bosses?

[wet plank]

I saw a Reddit post showing the caliber of one gun is the same as the turrets

[normal quarry]

oh that's pretty cool

[wet plank]

I mean fair but we should’ve just killed every last tiger claw in NC then lol

Her heart was in the right place but she doesn’t run Ops like that

Did end up a shitstorm but half the missions do lol

[wet plank]

It showed a photo of the side of a turret and it has the caliber on the side

[runic mango]

ok i think im going to buy a car

[wet plank]

Course now I can’t find the post

[wet plank]

I always buy the coyote first but it’s pricy and they’re all locked behind street cred now

[runic mango]

im a fan of the quartz

[wet plank]

Nice

[runic mango]

but been running around so much I have enough eddies to get a nice car

[wet plank]

If you have the street cred lol

The new cars have missile launchers but they’re all locked behind the new vehicle missions

And it’s like street cred, the more you do the more unlock

Oh yea dash + double jump is fun. I have a good idea of my melee build now

[normal quarry]

oh TIL

[runic mango]

of course when I want to buy a car there i no damn vendor thing lol

[wet plank]

Lol they are spread out far and wide

There’s one out by where you stay the night with Panam the first time

The motel on the highway out east

[runic mango]

[shadow sparrow]

[wet plank]

Lol

I never read any of these shards unless I have to

It’s take me a year to read all these

[shadow sparrow]

Ive been reading all the ones I see now

[runic mango]

I only read the one in strange place

[wet plank]

Most of them are completely random and have nothing to do with the story but some are funny

[wet plank]

I like the sign on the side of the garbage cans in dogtown it says “please do not dump weaponized cyberware here” lol

It’s on all of them

Just noticed it on one down there

The type you can sometimes climb in or push out of the way

[runic mango]

ive found catfood

this is an odd place

[normal quarry]

I bet most of you didn't chose the first option

I never did woud be very awkawrd

[runic mango]

last playthrough i did caue she is honestly a lovely npc

[normal quarry]

it sounds a bit flirty

then again I was a bit paranoid

[wet plank]

Her dude just died

Yea I didn’t choose that lol

[runic mango]

meh she seems down I sent it as a compliment lol

Dialogue doesnt go with flirty route

[wet plank]

I like how if you call in a car and let it sit, all these cars just stop behind it

The whole road is empty and there a line of cars behind mine lol

[normal quarry]

pretty funny

[shadow sparrow]

I always say she’s lovely

[runic mango]

stay tuned the container has stairs

[normal quarry]

dang he told me to kys

[wet plank]

Wow this car that El Capitan just gave me might be the best handling road vehicle I’ve driven in this game

“Outlaw Weiler”

[runic mango]

what in the 4 stories underground abondoned club is this shit

[wet plank]

I see you have a knife upgrade

You can buy the iconic throwing knife as soon as you get to Pacifica

One of them is just at a melee vendor down there

Not inside the dlc area

[runic mango]

im really intrigued by this place

[pearl walrus]

Alright time for adam smasher to get smashed

[runic mango]

if anyone wants to check this place out its here

[wet plank]

What’s so special about it

Looks like most of the clubs in this city

If there’s not a mission or gig there they’re usually empty

[runic mango]

its 4 stories underground locked by biohazard and completely deserted

like ransaked but there is lootables

and daemon slots along with shards

It probably is a gig spot

[pearl walrus]

Ok guys what do you think should I save Johnny’s life or around 6 months of V’s life you decide

[wet plank]

Ok so I just did a vehicle mission and completed it

It SEEMS like any of those that I start on dogtown always fail

But any of them that I start in NC are fine

Probably a bug

[wet plank]

Do one, reload save, do the other lol

[pearl walrus]

I’ve seen both of them at this point so I’m not gonna bother with all that lol

[wet plank]

I think I only ever finished the game once

Started another playthrough and the uograded to PS5 digital only so didn’t have the game to continue

https://youtu.be/wHzyARXWftk?si=oaekNhYfBJSTSwxb

Axe go boom

(Just showing this axe in action)

[runic mango]

amazingness

[wet plank]

Dude exploded lol

[runic mango]

ok ive gone back to sstory mission enough wonderign around lol

time to replace myh keyboard

[wet plank]

This is not what audio cables look like lol

[runic mango]

kerry is petty i like him

[wet plank]

Ok but why is his car such a piece of shit

He has loads of money

Where’s his nice car lol

[runic mango]

oh thats right you have to getaway in that thing lol

also new knoife

[wet plank]

Death & Taxes is a great stealth pistol. It’s iconic and can take a silencer mod and it doubles tape with bullets

I have no idea where I missed it from but had to buy it from the “missed iconics vendor”

[wet plank]

That’s my favorite model of knife in this game

The iconic one is pretty great but the return time is kinda high

[runic mango]

the additive damage is where its at

[wet plank]

It will stun lock even the badass enemies

Just 7 second return time for that kind of knife seems wack

[runic mango]

just have to chase it down !

[wet plank]

Yea I guess so

I don’t have the melee finisher perks tho

For throwing weapons

[runic mango]

main issue for me is staying alive long enough to retrieve

[pearl walrus]

And so ends the run

[wet plank]

Apparently second heart doesn’t help when you die from falling lol

And this dash plus double jump is amazing

[runic mango]

bet youre not using a car as often

[wet plank]

-7% incoming damage or +12% armor?

I can’t decide which is better

[runic mango]

-7

-7 covera all damage type

[wet plank]

Lol I’m not but only because I’m finally back in dogtown and it’s such a small area

But this is a decent way to get around

Be better with some more reflex perks but I really just wanted dash

Ooh. I just got an iconic from an air drop

[runic mango]

finally got to a save point i go sleep now

[wet plank]

This lyin bish doesn’t even have a bathtub

Only a shower

Lol

[wet plank]

I hate that I can’t dash or sprint in safe areas

Oh lame. The only iconic smart shotgun is after the ending

Son of a bitch. One of the iconic throwing knives is locked behind a mission that I can’t complete anymore

[wet plank]

Comrades Hammer pistol is good fun

[wet plank]

I love how you can put your kitty Nibbles in your photos

[runic mango]

thats a dope pic

[wet plank]

Thanks

[runic mango]

I got dash and its greatness

[pearl walrus]

Wish someone here would finish the game, but only cuz I want someone to discuss spoilers with

[normal quarry]

good news everyone! I'm a winner

[wet plank]

I made a comment on the CB77 Reddit last night and this morning is has 800 upvotes and so many comments I don’t even wanna read them all lol.

[wet plank]

I’m getting closer

I finished every damn side mission last night

[shadow sparrow]

cyber bunk

[wet plank]

So I can finally get back to the moth and continue the story

[wet plank]

I told them NO I don’t want it but that didn’t work lol

Got the car anyway

[normal quarry]

oh lol

I hate saving in this game

for some reason quick saving multiple times makes multiple copies

[wet plank]

I like having the ability to make lots of saves but at some point I’m gonna have to go back and delete a handful

[runic mango]

still love the san andreas reference

[wet plank]

Never played it but I live in it every day lol

Oh wait that’s Los Santos

San Andreas was the old one

Or i guess Los santos is the name of the city and Andreas was the name of the game lol. Never was into them that much

[runic mango]

we were in the ballpark lol

[wet plank]

Oh what. There’s a BD of the anime in the game next to H4 Megabuilding

The little text at the end is pretty good

[runic mango]

they added some easter eggs from the anime..loved that anime super fucking sad but good nonetheless

[tribal mortar]

Andreas is the state

[wet plank]

Yea there’s even texts about David with Muamar

I didn’t realize it happened before this, while V was apparently in Atlanta

[wet plank]

Actually, it’s a fault line underneath me lol

[runic mango]

right before V returned to night city

[tribal mortar]

There's probably a Rebecca shaped smear on the street somewhere still tbh

[wet plank]

[shadow sparrow]

ok I just finished the dlc story

[pearl walrus]

Nice

Did you get the new ending

[shadow sparrow]

is the ending of the dlc the new story ending?

[pearl walrus]

Depending on choices it adds a new ending to the base game

[wet plank]

Oh nice David’s crew is giving me a gift

[shadow sparrow]

nice

[wet plank]

Lol yea I’m sure people are mostly taking their time

I just finished my last side mission I can find so back to the moth finally

[shadow sparrow]

ohhh ok I see the quest to get that ending I suppose but I havent done it yet

[pearl walrus]

Ah ok

[shadow sparrow]

when I said I finished I mean I literally was watching the dlc credits lol

[wet plank]

I’ve been putting my last few points into body for adrenaline but honestly now I want air dash lol

[pearl walrus]

|| what did you decide to do with songbird ||

[wet plank]

Lol. Kerry named his boat Seamurai

Ah. Not his boat. Don’t think I did this mission last time I played

[shadow sparrow]

|| let her live ||

[pearl walrus]

|| then yeah you’ll have unlocked the new ending ||

[wet plank]

I’m supposed to talk to misty about the new tarot cards but she’s just stuck in meditation mode

[shadow sparrow]

maybe you're putting off harsh auras

[wet plank]

I just did all the monks meditation missions tho, I’m zen AF

I swear every time I try to focus on the dlc, more side missions pop up

Jesus Christ. Like 80hrs this playthrough and I just realized if you TAP the button it calls the previous vehicle you just had

[shadow sparrow]

You didn’t realize it’s always done that???

[wet plank]

Nah I never knew lol

I’ve been holding and calling in the car every time

Maiko is here! But she just ignored me when I twerk on her. I wish I could ask her “hey you remember that time I knocked you out?” Lol

[runic mango]

@wet plank By chance was this the non lethal chainsword you were referring to the other day?

[wet plank]

No mine is tier 5 and has two mod slots but yea that’s the style of it lol

This light show at Hanson’s party is dope

[runic mango]

I just got to pacifica lol

[wet plank]

Nice you’re close

||spoiler||

[runic mango]

toxic tendencies lol

[wet plank]

Wait how does it work for images on mobile

Ok I figured it out

That’s def a spoiler

[runic mango]

looked away quickly lol

[wet plank]

Not huge or anything

[runic mango]

youre fine I have it set to display spoilers regardless

this mf was espensiv

[wet plank]

Lol ok so I’m not supposed to kill all these guys apparently

[wet plank]

Yea but makes an excellent combo with the axe for big enemies

[runic mango]

is that DLC land

[wet plank]

I have that then the axe for main weapons and a gun for when shit hits the fan

[wet plank]

Whatever you do, don’t drive straight through the gate the first time

They don’t like that

[runic mango]

ok ill drive right through that mf

[wet plank]

There’s so many enemies here it’s so tempting to go batshit

But I think I’m supposed to not do that because I died very fast after reinforcements came

[runic mango]

im gonna get out of pacifica before I make a wrong turn

[wet plank]

Dude walk of shame.

Want. To. Murder. Must hold back

[runic mango]

must put knife in holster and not play with it

what i use to run around looking like before outfits were a thing

[wet plank]

Amazing

Look like you belong at Clouds

[runic mango]

thats what I was going for

nailed it

[wet plank]

The level cap is weird dude

[runic mango]

I think i just found the anime jacket lol

[wet plank]

Oh nice is that David’s jacket

Or just the one you find early on

[runic mango]

probs early on lol

[wet plank]

There’s a similar one you get kinda early

It’s blue rarity

[runic mango]

its blue yeah

[wet plank]

I’m level 59

And I’m about to have 2x atribute points that don’t matter

Like it’s not enough to bump any category to the next level

Odd

[runic mango]

Im half of that lol

[normal quarry]

best girl appeared!

[wet plank]

This annoys me so much

If I’m locked out of a mission, remove it from the queue then

[runic mango]

im going solo this this play through true ronin lol

[wet plank]

It’s just stuck there now

Make sure you do that one before the final Panama mission

I’ll fly away comes before the sexy time in the tank

I was rushing some stuff to get back to DLc

[runic mango]

oh ok so hold off on basilisexk

wtf this hands guy is trying to get me to go into this fucking dlc area lol

ok im retreating someone just yelled im gonna fuck you a new asshole

[normal quarry]

hell yeah

[wet plank]

I like how air drops and hacking access points is now starting to give iconic cyberware and hacks

The hacks aren’t really much different

The cyberware is insane but also expansive as far as cyberware slots

[runic mango]

i feel like I have to much OS right now

current progression

[wet plank]

I wish you could just hop onto other peoples cars and ride them

But I always fall off

[runic mango]

you can! just match momentum!

[wet plank]

It’s difficult lol

I can pass them easier than hold on

I really should have put points into reflex wayyy earlier just for getting around

[runic mango]

quick hacks now are getting me a ridiculous amount of crafting components which I wasnt expecting..it use to be the opposite gave you more eddies than components

[wet plank]

Oh I was always out honestly

I had to buy the crafting recipe for those when I hit tier 4

They were plentiful earlier tho it seemed

[runic mango]

cant trace you if they die first

thats enough cyber punk for today though yall have a nice night!

[wet plank]

Night

Goddamn this new sniper

[shadow sparrow]

Did you get it from the shop in dog town

[wet plank]

I pulled it off a turret lol

It’s pretty insane

Slow though

[shadow sparrow]

Ohhh yeah the one from the tower mission?

[wet plank]

Yup

Ok that was badass. I actually look forward to when enemy netrunners hack me now lol.

They tried hacking me and I sent cyberpsychosis back down the line to half their allies and watched the chaos ensue

|| hmmmm accept the deal and let Fiona keep cutting up children to chrome them out to be better athletes or destroy it all. On one hand a lot of these kids probably wouldn’t have nearly the same amount of opportunity as before, but on the other chroming kids is messed up ||

This is a tough choice

[pearl walrus]

|| I didn’t do anything about it, but i at least had the director lady arrange for that kid to get a position on some european team ||

[wet plank]

I did the same thing actually

Dude what!? A silenced SMART weapon?

Awesome

[tribal mortar]

Selling out || kids to corps is setting them up for essentially indentured servitude ||

[shadow sparrow]

Yall wack I shut that shit down lol

[tribal mortar]

Corps = shoot immediately

9/10 times it'll be morally correct

[wet plank]

|| I dunno, those kids either get to live poor in dogtown or make some money to provide for their families. Not exactly a black and white decision. ||

[tribal mortar]

Most of it goes to the corp

Atleast in dogtown autonomy exists

[wet plank]

You’re kinda assuming a lot

[tribal mortar]

Sinnerman is about a corp monetising a man's suicide

[wet plank]

They weren’t making snuff BDs, they were helping under privileged kids

Big damn difference

[tribal mortar]

They're not helping anyone

A benevolent corp doesn't exist

[wet plank]

Ok I guess that’s you’re opinion then

[tribal mortar]

No

[wet plank]

Agree to disagree

[tribal mortar]

So you're ignoring all established corps

[wet plank]

No, I’m ignoring you lol

[tribal mortar]

Biotechnica who push farmers off their land

Militech and Arasaka who have wars that render parts of the world uninhabitable

Trauma Team who charge exorbitant rates for healthcare

Cyberware companies that have obsolescence built into the tech you have to rent

[tribal mortar]

Because you missed the criticism against corporations in a warning for the future

If you think a corporation cares for the individual in that universe, you've missed a significant amount of lore

Corporations actively encourage betrayal and murder on the condition you're not caught

Arasaka murders a dozen people to get permits to built on the moon

Child stars today get routinely abused by agents and parents and drugged up until the Hollywood system kicks them out when they're too old. Cyberpunk would be that a hundred times worse.

The notion they're "helping" is corporation propaganda. No corporation in that universe helps people

The main plot is about a rich psycho trying to steal the body of his child to claim immortality

[drowsy thunder]

tho tbh xpheolix, you did say you don't pay attention to any shards

and they expand a LOT on the lore

[tribal mortar]

Or dialogue

[tribal mortar]

All the examples I said are just from talking to NPCs

[drowsy thunder]

only saw him mention not reading shards

[tribal mortar]

The nomads are basically composed of cheap labourers

[drowsy thunder]

https://youtu.be/1XzjjSRWWKs?si=RfE9UNPx1HJEVXac

must watch ^^

[tribal mortar]

They're all levels of evil

[drowsy thunder]

kang tao is also really fucked up, they have asian standards, and if american standards and contracts are already this fucked up (60h work weeks if im not mistaken) kang tao is gonna be worse

shame we don't have a lot of info about them

[tribal mortar]

American ones are you essentially renting everything

[drowsy thunder]

what i remember from that vid

your contract says you have to have 25y loyalty

[tribal mortar]

Corpo V has everything they own repossessed by Arasaka after getting fired

[drowsy thunder]

so if you get fired/quit work, you can't work anywhere else for 25 years

[tribal mortar]

Ye they'll basically kill you if you try anyway

[drowsy thunder]

if they think you're gonna tell on them

[tribal mortar]

Not even. They'll do it as a precaution

[drowsy thunder]

events of || kang tao related gig||

[tribal mortar]

If they think you could do something against them in the future. They'll kill you

And it's essentially legal

[drowsy thunder]

not sure what the name was, but it involves ||a former high ranking kang tao member that lost an important datashard and you need to retrieve it, when you give it to him you get ambushed by kang tao||

this is exactly how shit works in the universe at a greater scale as well

[tribal mortar]

Ye because human life is utterly meaningless to corps

[drowsy thunder]

if you were high ranking, yes

[tribal mortar]

Corpo V being alive is entirely due to Jackie, they weren't high ranking

[drowsy thunder]

if you didn't have any intel on them (a lot of low ranking people don't) they'd just do a lot of paperwork to legally fuck you over for life without having to dirty their hands

[tribal mortar]

Basically

It's utterly baffling how they guy said the kids would have a better life

They wouldn't

[drowsy thunder]

corpo V was however in a very very secretive branch though

[tribal mortar]

All money goes to the corps

[drowsy thunder]

counterintel is no joke, even in todays world

[tribal mortar]

V would've been tortured for information and given cement shoes

Being directly in a mox bar was their saving grace

[drowsy thunder]

arasaka would fuck up the mox though, and they know it

if those guards hadn't been scared of dying for their corporation (loyalty that isn't unheard of in this universe), things would have turned out VERY differently

[tribal mortar]

It's more the media backlash

[drowsy thunder]

i can't imagine they care that much about that

[tribal mortar]

Nah there's a level of care

The relic sparks massive issues in the devil ending

Saburo wants total destruction of the US though

So he's fine basically inflating consumerism

[drowsy thunder]

i think they rather have a bad spot in the media than they have some former counterintel arasaka agent on the loose potentially spreading secret info

and if that means murdering an entire night club, i don't imagine they'd back down. since saburo is already playing with the idea of nuking NC

[tribal mortar]

Surprised they didn't kill V for knowing about the moon thing

[drowsy thunder]

the what?

[tribal mortar]

Corpo beginning, it's revealed that Arasaka assassinated people to get building permits on the moon

Meyers was Militech CEO so she's been blocking their expansion in the NUSA

[drowsy thunder]

oh right i vaguely remember

so anyway, the image that corps want to transmit to people in this fictional universe is exactly what Xpheolix is seeing

[tribal mortar]

The idea a corporation is out for your best interests is laughable in this world

Let alone in Cyberpunks tbh

If they could find a way to make you pay for oxygen. They would.

[wet plank]

Yea because this is the 3rd time I’ve played through the game. I read them at launch. I might not remember them all but I’m not reading for 70+ hours in a game that already feels like too much story and dialogue vs combat opportunities. I’ve been reading all of the shards inside the DLC. Doesn’t change the fact that my opinion is that the situation we were talking about is not so black and white like Johnny is always blowing up your ass.

Corps suck, but maybe some of those kids dream in life is to be an athlete, we don’t know. You’re assuming a lot no matter what choice you make.

There are plenty of other situations in the game where it’s definitely “ok this is fucked up, you’re going down” but this was far more of a moral grey area

[tribal mortar]

You can do that without selling out to corps

Jackie and Vik were both boxers lmao

[tribal mortar]

Yknow there's a reason everyone is in perpetual poverty though right

Like 60+yrs of NC being like this by 2077

The corps aren't going to let little Timmy out of the slums

Corpos don't want people who came from the slums in city centre

They'll exploit them and ditch them when they're injured

Corps made the wealth divide insurmountable

[runic mango]

looking like a straight menace just got to dogtown

[tribal mortar]

You're either rich enough to buy a solid gold car

Or you can't afford anything close to real food

There's no black or white with the corps

Pondsmith frames them as the overall antagonists

[wet plank]

Yea I’m kinda over being told how I should play my game

I asked last night, no one responded then. The mission is over, I already did it.

[tribal mortar]

You're not being told how to play anything

I'm just saying you missed the point of the IP if you think the corps are anything but the horrible result of growing more powerful than the government

[tribal mortar]

For future reference, unless I specifically state "you should play like this" I don't mean that

We were discussing the corps at large and their antagonist status

[tribal mortar]

"too much story"

My brother in Christ it's based off a TTRPG

It's mostly story

It's why it's densely packed with interpersonal relationships and dynamics

[wet plank]

Nah. I didn’t. But thanks anyway.

We can just like, move on

[tribal mortar]

You're disproportionately irate tbh

[tribal mortar]

From?

It's one sided on your end

[wet plank]

Whatever the hell this is

[tribal mortar]

A discussion?

I was talking to Jova

[wet plank]

With you somehow it doesn’t seem like that

[tribal mortar]

Because I have autism lmao

The way I communicate is more direct

It intimidates people without a similar neurological structure

[runic mango]

well doesnt that make sense

[tribal mortar]

Naturally, it's a common misinterpretation

[runic mango]

its my preferred method of communication

[tribal mortar]

W

[runic mango]

and ive had issues being to direct but prospered in the military

[drowsy thunder]

you know what discussions with xpheolix tend to go a certain way

and it doesn't differ too much from how discussions with Basket go

[tribal mortar]

Makes sense

[drowsy thunder]

just a thing i've started noticing really

[runic mango]

shrug

[tribal mortar]

Because people grow defensive rather than accept different viewpoints

[drowsy thunder]

peak maturity

[tribal mortar]

Unfortunately their strategy doesn't work on people like me. We lack that social fear factor

Fr tho idk how they misconstrue me stating corps are objective antagonists as me telling them how to play the game

[drowsy thunder]

as a fellow autist and someone with ADHD, 🤘

[tribal mortar]

💀

[drowsy thunder]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/818649971917062145.gif?size=44&quality=lossless

ik it was cliche but idc

[tribal mortar]

Nah but fr selling the kids to the corps is a bad decision

You're dying from a piece of Saburos pet project lodged in your head

[runic mango]

im critting for a lot with this headhunter knife

[tribal mortar]

And you don't get to Dogtown without handling Evelyn's quest which shows a lot of horrible corporate people

[drowsy thunder]

i've played it 4 times and i've completed all the endings on every character, some more than once, and i still read the shards? what do you mean? you bought this game for the story combination with gunplay, not because you only want the gunplay, if you did, then i'm sorry but you haven't read anything about the game and you've forgotten what it was at launch (which i doubt because you're saying that it was already story heavy at launch)

[tribal mortar]

Too much story is confusing though

It's based on a TTRPG

That's really the main meat of those games

[drowsy thunder]

CDPR gives plenty of story in the game without having to know shit from the previous games

[tribal mortar]

Ye but it's like complaining fifa is about sports

[drowsy thunder]

exactly ^

[tribal mortar]

You're paying for the highly detailed universe

Otherwise you'd just use GURPS

[runic mango]

only thing that trips me up is the heavy story with timeline jumps

[drowsy thunder]

your vision of the game lore is just wrong and whatever he preaches is totally right

again, not so different from Basket

[runic mango]

we can move on

[tribal mortar]

Tbh they can just Search Pondsmiths words

He's not a rich white guy so he's obviously not a corporate shill anyway

[tribal mortar]

That's why I prefer corpo route V

Makes Jackie flow better narratively

[runic mango]

im doing the first corpo playthrough hes snarky but dialogue seems in line with predicament

[tribal mortar]

That's how corpos are taught to talk with each other

[runic mango]

exactly it fits the duality of characters

like the odd couple

I think the most disconnected playthrough was nomad but im sure thats intended

and my personal irl preferred lol

gives bane vibes..they really hook you up with a lot of new apparel from the get

[drowsy thunder]

they actually added a new cutscene with 2.0

now it feels less like "just met him, stealing arasaka owned relic"

[runic mango]

yeah just finished pacifica and songbird triggered. Im trying to follow story from here forth should I be in dogtown or go back to panam and takemura

true min max melee buff

[tribal mortar]

Devildick 💀

[drowsy thunder]

johhny silverhand the one and only

[runic mango]

PSA if you are using throwables if an enemy is down but still crying in pain you can headshot to finish kill and it still counts towards progression so always remember to double tap

[tribal mortar]

I shoot them for fun

[runic mango]

I dont like that they crowd my audio feed

like where dafak is that groaning coming from lol

[runic mango]

[runic mango]

oh yay first person platforming
