Your welcome, muamar

runic mango
#

fuck this place

#

im out lmao

wet plank
#

Lmao.
V: there anybody worthy of your trust?
Johnny: course, sound technicians

runic mango
#

well this thing is a beast

wet plank
# runic mango well this thing is a beast

Lol, I did the same thing actually. I bought it, drove down the road out in the badlands and had a bunch of cars shooting each other so I launched missiles at them and they all died

#

I’m at the point on the game now where I only have 2x missions left.

#

Meet with hanako and wait for songbird to contact me.

#

I dunno what to do

#

I skipped 3 days and still no word

runic mango
#

I had to take a break dog town was such a large area I was not ready to take all that in at once so started doing gigs again lol

wet plank
#

I’m not a fan of those “wait for days” missions

wet plank
#

It’s such a super small part of the map

#

I never use cars when I’m there, just dash double jump

runic mango
#

I use the wait a day or two missions to just get gigs and wander and skip around town

#

I found Davids BD

wet plank
#

Nothing from her

wet plank
#

Kinda boring just waiting for the end to come

#

Feel like starting over

runic mango
#

I hate when I get to that point in a good game when I know the ending is coming so i put it off or just not complete the game

wet plank
#

That’s what I did with this game every single time lol

#

I didn’t want it to end

#

But now, now I’m ready. I want the ending so I can stop being worried about spoilers

tribal mortar
wet plank
#

I’ve waited 72 hours in my bed, then I went around and did 5x gigs

#

Then I waited another 8hrs

#

Nothing

tribal mortar
#

Time skipping via the bed doesn't trigger it reliably

wet plank
#

Lame

#

She ghosted me lol

runic mango
#

reequip mission load last save

wet plank
#

I’ve done a ton of stuff since then though because I’ve been waiting

#

I’ll try skipping 3x days in my car instead of bed

tribal mortar
#

Just do other side missions and gigs

#

Force skipping time messes the triggers up

wet plank
#

I don’t have 3 full days worth of shit to do

#

So I either have to skip time or just afk

#

Money is no longer useful, every hack equipped is iconic, etc

tribal mortar
#

The boxing one has a few timeskips you can use

wet plank
#

Lol. The CB77 discord has the auto bot yeeting literally any swear/curse word at all. You cannot even quote lines from the game. I mean, discords TOS and all it kinda makes sense but I was quoting Muamar and got yeeted momentarily.

wet plank
#

Dunno what that is

#

But it is the official server so probably just easier to not allow it at all even though the game is riddled with it

wet plank
#

Ok songbird finally contacted me

wet plank
#

Damn ok. I just finished it and I have questions wtf lol

wet plank
#

@runic mango

runic mango
#

we loyal to a fault lol

wet plank
#

Dude everyone is afraid of this Cuban

#

“When someone lights a cigar in Havana, Aguilar takes a life”

tribal mortar
#

Cause cuban

runic mango
#

Patria y Vida !

#

low key didnt know there was cuban character gonna hop on right now lol

wet plank
#

Do enough gigs for Mr.Hands that’s all I’ll say

tribal mortar
#

There's a lot of immigrant dudes in NC

wet plank
#

Although I’m pretty sure it’s tied to the DLC story too so

runic mango
#

lot of Caribbeans with the voodoo boys

wet plank
#

Haitians

#

They talk about Haiti a lot

runic mango
#

yeah haiti is in the carribean right next to cuba

tribal mortar
#

They killed the original VDBs iirc

runic mango
#

we are like neighbors

wet plank
#

Oh yea I didn’t know that but that makes perfect sense

tribal mortar
#

Used to just be a random gimmick they had rather than their religion

runic mango
#

doing mr hands gigs lol

wet plank
#

Pretty sure every one of the Mr Hands gigs results in you getting a new iconic too

#

Oh wait maybe I’m thinking of the triple skull side gig things

#

Either way, both are worth doing

runic mango
#

its like he knew I logged in

wet plank
#

Suppose we should finally head to Embers

#

Don’t see much else I can finish

#

I really dunno how I feel about the choices I made in the DLC so I might reload a save

#

Pro tip: make a separate save before doing Firestarter

#

I didn’t but i have one kinda close to it

wet plank
#

Damn these endings are so goddamn long lol

wet plank
#

Ok one ending down

drowsy thunder
#

okay, so should i start from 0 or should i experience it on a new character?

tribal mortar
#

You can begin the dlc directly

drowsy thunder
runic mango
#

skill tree and progression calls for it lol

#

fav smg by far

wet plank
runic mango
#

sandevistan is fun but net running is far more enjoyable imo

runic mango
#

I take it all back

wet plank
#

Omg that ending was my favorite

#

I can’t believe I’ve never done the Panam/Aldecados one

#

There’s so many damn endings lol

#

And they all take literal hours to do fully

runic mango
#

they really do take forever lol

#

last one I did solo merc ending and that was dope

#

I went edge runner/ net runner but I can decide to keep my sandi or go back to hacking

shadow sparrow
#

hahahahha I just randomly tposed on top of a motorcycle

runic mango
#

+10 style points lmao

shadow sparrow
runic mango
#

linx paws lol

#

I have no idea seems to be something with the vocal implant lol

shadow sparrow
#

doing the new ending

shadow sparrow
#

dayummmm || misty is different ||

wet plank
#

I did two endings so far but not the new one. I have to go way way back for that

runic mango
shadow sparrow
#

so many cool outfits

#

I did the new ending and then just reverted back to right before so I can do other stuff lol

#

I never got a romance person or anything yet so the ending will probably be different if I do it again later

#

some shots from the new ending

runic mango
shadow sparrow
#

yee its slick

wet plank
#

Ok now I’ve done 3 of them and yes that one sucked

tribal mortar
tribal mortar
shadow sparrow
#

Like worse sadder

runic mango
#

this is my corpo fit havnt found a nicer hat though lol

wet plank
#

Ok, I’ve done Star, Sun, Devil, and Temperance now

#

I guess I should either start a new playthrough or roll back to the DLC choices

#

Probably take a break though that was a lot lol

#

Definitely a better game than it was at launch that’s for sure

runic mango
#

yo she was hard

wet plank
#

Yea she is a tough fight

#

I realoaded several times to try her fight many ways because it was a good one lol

runic mango
#

yeah sandi didnt do shit but make me get my ass kicked in slow mo

wet plank
#

Lol yea I hacked her a lot and used smart weapons

drowsy thunder
#

Does the decision at all foods have an impact later on in the game?

#

Who you're siding with

wet plank
#

All foods only matters for the iconics

#

As far as I know

#

There’s a handful of them but they all have requirements

#

I just started a corpo V and talked to a guy at Lizzie’s and he just says “why don’t you lick my ass!” then that’s it lol

#

Wait so I start with money then it gets taken wtf

tribal mortar
#

Otherwise no

drowsy thunder
#

Once you're fired they're taking everything you own

#

They would have killed V if they weren't in a Mox bar

shadow sparrow
#

you know I never considered it since I almost only played female v in game

#

had to go look up what male V full name was

tribal mortar
wet plank
drowsy thunder
#

because she/he does, and then it gets taken away

wet plank
#

You literally have no option to use it for anything lol

#

Even the cash for the gig isn’t there when you gain control again

runic mango
#

Steam got a fairly large update today it seems

wet plank
#

2.01

#

Patch notes are out, mostly fixes for PL and stuff

runic mango
#

nice im going to test AC Mirage be disappointed and come back to CP

wet plank
#

Console corrupted saves got fixed but I never had an issue

runic mango
#

i feel like the helmet is to over the top

tribal mortar
runic mango
#

i mean yeah its intended but this helmet is a bit much

tribal mortar
#

it is cyberpunk tbf

runic mango
#

true

#

it gives cervical spine workers comp lmao

wet plank
tribal mortar
#

shitty megabuilding apartments are relatively cheap

#

especially in watson

#

and the car v has is about 20yrs old

#

they were designed well enough you could keep them way past usual planned obsolescence

#

and its america so V couldve bought a gun cheap at any local corner store

#

V's starting outfit is also out of fashion heavily

#

dudes wearing converse in fall '77

runic mango
#

i mean chuck taylors are forever

wet plank
#

Always seem to know exactly “how things should be” or “how it is”

tribal mortar
#

Someone told me you do this a lot

#

I would recommend introspection

#

Because someone I've never interacted with informed me this was your modus operandi

tribal mortar
runic mango
#

my arm cyberware mods reverted back to tier 1 and I had to go to ripperdoc to fix them wtf lol

tribal mortar
runic mango
#

well yeah but eddies dont grow on trees

#

DLSS is performing better though

runic mango
#

sailor moon ref love it

#

finally you show yourself

pearl walrus
#

Have most people here finished the dlc yet? Gotten the new ending?

drowsy thunder
#

i haven't even started it

wet plank
#

Well, I got kind of a new ending but not THE new ending

#

Damn. I’m trying to go full melee weapons this time and not use hacking but I just get stomped every damn time

pearl walrus
#

Why are you posting that in a cyberpunk phantom liberty spoiler forum

runic mango
#

I hope you forgive my incorrecting posting as I thought I was still in off topic CryingBoy

wet plank
#

It’s a specific path

pearl walrus
wet plank
#

Oh lol

#

I never saw it

#

New playthrough to try blades and Sandy

#

Early game is rough when you just bum rush everything

runic mango
#

Dazed and Confused is funny

#

im dead lmao

wet plank
#

This damn bartender won’t stop calling me “baby” and I can’t do shit about it

#

There was a corpo line for it but he doesn’t stop and I can’t actually hurt him

#

If we weren’t on mission undercover right now I would slice his head off

wet plank
#

That mission is hilarious

runic mango
#

dropped this gem convinced him he was a clone made by the FIA

wet plank
#

She loves the sister one

#

The mission continues if you do they’re sisters

#

I did FIA first and she wasn’t amused and didn’t want to keep working with them so I reloaded

runic mango
#

I thoroughly enjoyed the dialogue for clone though

wet plank
#

She gives you another gift later if they keep working together

runic mango
#

im egcited

wet plank
#

The bat you get either way

#

But the bike, pretty sure only if they make it big

runic mango
#

they will make it big you just watch

wet plank
#

Not if that was her only gig with them lol

runic mango
#

we will see about that

wet plank
#

Ok let me know if you get her motorcycle or not then

#

Might get it anyway

#

Seemed like it was soemthing that came way way later when they kept going

runic mango
#

we shall see !

wet plank
#

Lol

wet plank
#

80% of posts on Reddit are of people that loaded a 2.0 PL save in 2.01 and their cyberware downgraded to 1++ from max

#

I started a new playthrough recently so I guess I dodged that bullet but I’m not opening my main character save until they fix that

wet plank
#

Just found a sign that says “aliens abducted my wife and kids help me celebrate”

drowsy thunder
shadow sparrow
#

alright time to get the other 3 endings

shadow sparrow
#

oh nice you can watch a braindance of the concert from the party

wet plank
#

Xbox got hit the hardest with most people saying the game won’t even boot up and that they rolled out the wrong update for Xbox lol

drowsy thunder
#

yeah, but load the save, then quick save in a different slot, leave the game without saving to keep that old save in its old state and play on the one u just copied. it's not hard..

wet plank
#

There’s manual save or autosave only

drowsy thunder
#

manual*

runic mango
#

ok im gonna finish it today ive been prolonging

runic mango
#

We went with the blue skin snake suit evening wear VomitingBoy

wet plank
#

Why is it so hard to find a car I like that handles well lol

#

Uhhh

#

I’m not sure kabuki market should be having sandstorms…

runic mango
#

I was doing so good on the way out and all it took was yeah thats what I though

wet plank
#

Yea the entire city is stuck in a sandstorm now apparently and won’t go away

#

Had to reload an old save

#

Aaand, still stuck like that everywhere lol wow

drowsy thunder
runic mango
#

im to much of a loot goblin havnt finished

shadow sparrow
#

alright did all 4 new endings

wet plank
#

There’s 4 new ones!? Jesus. Yea I dunno if I’ll get around to doing them all

#

I met || Mr Blue Eyes || which is one I’m assuming

#

And then all my other options were base game endings

shadow sparrow
#

There’s 2 for each direction you go || either going with song or reed at the tower with the twins ||

wet plank
#

Oh interesting

#

I wanted to try out Sandy and blades so I’m all the way back at act 2 again lol

#

But my main has done 4x various endings

wet plank
#

Pleasure to make your acquaintance, dirtbag

#

I let him live last time but I know what he did

wet plank
#

Lol. There’s a glitch right now if you sell soemthing to any vendor then fast travel and return, the vendor uogrades it for you

#

Noticed it on accident then tested it

#

Seems like it doesn’t work on crafted items

shadow sparrow
#

I want somma that

tribal mortar
#

It's the stuff from the health boosters

runic mango
runic mango
#

took forever to get all my cyberware up to tier 5 IHateThisBoy

runic mango
#

wtf is going on

#

nvmd lol

wet plank
#

Lol Johnny when you take the oath

runic mango
#

the funniest thing ever

wet plank
#

So basically, with Sandy, combat becomes easy mode but everything else in the game is a pain in the ass

#

I definitely prefer an OS for sure

#

Can’t do shit about vehicles, cameras, etc

#

If i throw a knife at a camera every enemy starts acting like someone died

wet plank
#

Weird. When wakkako gave me byakko in my stash it was tier 1 then I took it out and it became tier 5

drowsy thunder
#

should i side with or against the VDB's?

#

does it have major implications for PL?

shadow sparrow
#

I killed them all and didn’t notice too much in pl

drowsy thunder
#

great

wet plank
#

Yea I sided with netwatch

#

Well, street kid sided with VDB but corpo sided with netwatch

#

Placide can kicks rocks

drowsy thunder
#

god fucking damn this game looks epic

runic mango
#

robots are scary

runic mango
#

tried to catch a peak

#

damn CDPR Really killed it with this..beyond impressed..my heart hurts but damn what a ride

drowsy thunder
#

no spoilers, just want to know what you think

pearl walrus
#

Ending spoilers: || does anyone else think that the new base-game ending kind of sours a lot of things? All your friends abandon you in your time of need. Makes it kinda feel like they only cared about you when you were helping them. What’s the point of even doing their quests? Kerry, Judy, Panam seem like fair weather friends now ||

runic mango
#

loved it captivating all the way through

#

fave handgun by far

drowsy thunder
#

i heard about a silenced smart weapon, when can i get it?

#

is it early on or later

pearl walrus
#

I wish this game had ng+

runic mango
wet plank
#

Inside dogtown

#

Do the air drop little encounters and they can drop a few various iconic weapons

#

That’s one of them, smart smg that’s silenced

drowsy thunder
#

What's the others?

tribal mortar
#

They can go around cover

wet plank
drowsy thunder
#

Yeah I've never really used them until now because they synergize well with hacking

wet plank
#

I only used them when shit hit the fan

#

But that silenced one is nice

drowsy thunder
#

The gun I was talking about is the Pizdets btw, which doesn't drop from airdrops, but is from a gig

wet plank
#

You can sneak up, then dash back and fire from cover

drowsy thunder
#

The wiki isn't updated

drowsy thunder
#

Pizdets?

wet plank
#

I remember exactly where I got it

#

There’s only one silenced smart smg

drowsy thunder
#

There's at least two silenced smart weapons maybe you're mistaking one for the other

wet plank
#

Either an enemy drops it or it’s from the air drop container

drowsy thunder
#

The Crimestopper is also silenced

wet plank
#

No it’s not

runic mango
#

its not unfortunately

tribal mortar
wet plank
#

I’ve used both lol

#

Crime stopper is not silenced

tribal mortar
#

I wouldn't recommend it tbh

wet plank
#

Pizzdet is the smg

tribal mortar
#

You might as well buy the relevant stuff

wet plank
#

And I got it from either a big badass enemy at the air drop or from the air drop

#

But there was red smoke and I took out enemies in the area and had it

drowsy thunder
#

Why google lying to me lol

wet plank
#

Not the first that was a typo

#

It was like the 6th or 7th one I did

tribal mortar
#

Might be confusing it

runic mango
wet plank
#

Yup that one

drowsy thunder
wet plank
#

That’s wrong

#

Dude most information online is wrong lol

tribal mortar
#

Pizdets is silenced ye

wet plank
#

The game changed a lot so most info I find is outdated

#

But no clue why it says that there PL is new

runic mango
#

not silenced but switched my build briefly to try this out and it was so much fun

wet plank
#

It does target more enemies and disable cyberware

tribal mortar
#

The PL iconics are pretty good

wet plank
#

I tried that pistol and I didn’t like the 2-shot burst

tribal mortar
#

The CDPR reward gun is also good

wet plank
#

But it does some major damage

tribal mortar
#

It's a burst fire pistol

drowsy thunder
wet plank
#

And the delay between the bursts is too high

runic mango
wet plank
#

I could use another smart weapon and be more effective at that point

runic mango
#

pizdets!

drowsy thunder
#

I got into the black market, bought a Warden and damn it's good for a non iconic

drowsy thunder
wet plank
#

That’s basically the pizdete without silencer

#

It’s the same gun

drowsy thunder
#

It means like 5 things lol

#

Damn it, shit, fucked up, fuck and vagina LULBoy

wet plank
#

I hate that I found a iconic blueprint too early now it’s stuck at tier 2

#

Can’t craft t5 version

#

Have to upgrade

runic mango
#

had to find the blue print for this one if you like sniper rifles this one is insane

tribal mortar
drowsy thunder
wet plank
#

I hate having to look them up constantly and making sure I don’t miss them

drowsy thunder
#

Breakthrough was in the base game fyi

runic mango
#

shoots through walls and ricochets thats insane

wet plank
#

I usually do that but it gets exhausting in this game

drowsy thunder
#

It's from an organised crime

tribal mortar
#

Xpheo

runic mango
drowsy thunder
#

You hadn't seen it before?

tribal mortar
#

I only used Panams tbh

runic mango
#

trash

wet plank
#

I never said anything about the meaning of pizdet

#

I have no clue

#

I just know where I got the gun

tribal mortar
#

You needed to spec into crafting a bit to make it

#

I think they removed most of the perks for it now though

drowsy thunder
#

A bit? You needed level 18 to craft any legendary weapons

wet plank
#

No, I’ve not seen that sniper unless I got it at launch

#

I didn’t see it last playthrough anyway

runic mango
#

I didnt see it until recently

wet plank
#

Huh? Crafting changed

runic mango
#

big time

wet plank
#

No one needs any perks to craft

drowsy thunder
#

Getting tech was absolutely mandatory for every build

tribal mortar
#

Idk I spammed scanner hustles so I hit level 20 by act 2

wet plank
#

Everyone can craft tier 5 anything if they find the blueprint when they’re high enough level

#

The blueprint is locked to whatever tier you find it tho

drowsy thunder
#

You can just upgrade it to a higher tier, no?

tribal mortar
#

Tbh having to constantly upgrade weapons was annoying

tribal mortar
wet plank
#

Good thing there’s a bug right now to do that lol

#

For free

tribal mortar
#

Beforehand it was like 5+ stat upgrades

#

I think it lets you immediately tier it up now

runic mango
#

yeah it was a pain

wet plank
#

Sell iconics to a vendor, fast travel away, come back, they’re upgraded

tribal mortar
#

Made iconics obsolete if you levelled too fast

wet plank
#

If the vendor has higher tier stuff than you anyway

runic mango
#

had to dedicate so much sides to level up..thats probably why I still play so much of the side missions now out of habit

drowsy thunder
#

I never got to use the malorian

#

You get it so early in the game

tribal mortar
#

Idk it's a chunk through Johnny's side quests

drowsy thunder
#

My old save was at like....300 epic components to level it up

wet plank
#

I dunno, chippin in is not very early in the game at all

#

Unless you bum rush the story missions

tribal mortar
#

I remember his clothes being the best in the game near enough though

drowsy thunder
#

Not early in the game but you get it before you reach 30 if you don't focus on the scanner hustles

runic mango
#

I remember my tier 5 legendary bra that shit was OP

wet plank
#

I’m level 50 and haven’t done a single Johnny quest lol

tribal mortar
#

Spamming armour mods was broken

wet plank
#

I’m only just now meeting Judy at clouds

drowsy thunder
wet plank
#

Leveling is way faster now

tribal mortar
#

Makes more sense armour is subdermal now though

drowsy thunder
#

Grinding Eddies also is

runic mango
drowsy thunder
#

Depots have 70k instead of 20k cash now

runic mango
wet plank
#

Have you not made any outfits at wardrobe?

runic mango
#

aesthetics

wet plank
#

I have all outfits now

runic mango
#

and chem resistance

wet plank
drowsy thunder
#

Why does it matter lol

runic mango
#

no thanks im a non conformist

drowsy thunder
#

Let them play how they want

tribal mortar
#

Gorilla arms make beat on the brat ridiculously easy now

wet plank
#

Because T5 clothes and headwear give stats

tribal mortar
#

I remember release beat

#

It was horrible

drowsy thunder
wet plank
#

And you can wear T1 with an outfit and then actually wear T5

tribal mortar
#

Max body and gorilla arms and it was like dark souls

drowsy thunder
#

Idk what game you played

#

But that has never been my experience

tribal mortar
#

Day 1 beat on the brat

drowsy thunder
#

With gorilla arms you can down them in like 7 hits LULBoy

tribal mortar
#

Gorilla arms give you like +5 body points

runic mango
#

I know but meh old habbits die hard I guess also the amount of articles of clothing is a bit overwhelming so I stuck to figuring out the tiered cyberware since that is also abundant my small brain can only intake so much info at one time

wet plank
#

I made outfits

#

And I wear whatever has best stats

#

And cover it with an outfit

#

Best of both worlds

runic mango
#

sensible player using system as intended

drowsy thunder
#

Those stats are negligible most of the time

tribal mortar
#

The CDPR biker vest is probably one of the best items tbf

wet plank
#

Not really

drowsy thunder
#

Early game, yes

wet plank
#

Ok but we are clearly talking T5 lol

#

Which is not early game

tribal mortar
#

Tbf tho stats are irrelevant. The ttrpg itself kinda tells you

runic mango
#

for netrunner some of those things do hlep

drowsy thunder
#

Ok but I wasn't

tribal mortar
#

Style over substance ngl

runic mango
#

i like to look good while getting my ass kicked

tribal mortar
#

💀

wet plank
#

Yea you can do that with the new mechanic lol

runic mango
#

im def going back to netrunner build now that phantom is done though

tribal mortar
#

Tbf they adjusted the system so all you need is an occasional implant and you'll level up fine

runic mango
#

I need to hack and steal shit

wet plank
#

I still haven’t found a T5 version of one of my favorite pieces of clothing so my outfits still have lower tier stuff in them that looks cool

drowsy thunder
#

I like how they made cyber decks tiered

runic mango
#

yeah it clarified a lot

drowsy thunder
#

You can't just slap epic rarity hacks into a common one either

runic mango
#

I use to look at all of them and be like ok I need the most expensive right?>

drowsy thunder
#

The threadripper (CPU joke) used to be the best

tribal mortar
#

Technically yes

drowsy thunder
#

Now it's just....ehhh

tribal mortar
#

I just pick the most expensive implants

drowsy thunder
#

Tetratronic rippler, rite

#

I always called it the threadripper because it's easier to remember

#

That and the netwatch driver were the best

#

Now it's the militech paraline

runic mango
#

we always called it threadripper as well

drowsy thunder
#

Amazing

wet plank
#

Netdiver still has more ram than any other deck

#

And some damn useful bonuses

drowsy thunder
#

Yeah but that doesn't mean as much as some of the others' passives

wet plank
#

I used arasaka deck up until Netdiver

drowsy thunder
#

The arasaka one is also very good

wet plank
#

Meh, I prefer when hacks don’t spread tbh

#

Spreading means I get noticed

drowsy thunder
#

Not if you use sonic shock

wet plank
#

Nah they still do

drowsy thunder
#

no

runic mango
#

those are the ones I used sold my arasaka one because impulsivness

drowsy thunder
#

Needa make sure you put it on every enemy

wet plank
#

Lol whatever. I know how it was for my playthrough.

drowsy thunder
#

That and memory wipe

runic mango
#

probs fav suit

drowsy thunder
#

4:41

#

Damn, almost like I know what I'm talking about @wet plank

runic mango

best car in the game dont @ me

drowsy thunder
#

Looks like a goddamn Tetris piece

runic mango
#

tetris piece to my heart

drowsy thunder
#

That chevillion centurion truck

#

Looks badass too

runic mango
#

quartz spectre does it for me idk why

#

militech canto mk6 hmmm

tribal mortar
#

I just noticed patch 2.0 made V younger

#

Their canonical birthday got moved up a few years

runic mango
#

trying to run from the popo and hopped in this puddle to find some preem shit dont slip

#

I take it back

#

Time to go cuban is probably the best line for me

#

Ending spoilers: || I really think the new ending is just developer spite- a middle finger to everyone who criticized the original endings. I think the people who say this is a good thing have their head pretty far up their own asses ||

tribal mortar
#

It's tonally and thematically consistent

#

It's also the NUSA, and you directly see what they did to Songbird

#

They heavily imply that you're not getting out 100% as you entered

#

@pearl walrus words not emojis, it's actually a decent discussion topic

pearl walrus
#

My issue isn’t V getting out essentially crippled

#

My issue is that I feel like it sours a large portion of the rest of the game

tribal mortar
#

Howso

pearl walrus
#

|| It makes the other characters- River, Judy, Kerry, and Panam seem like fair weather friends who only give a shit about V because he was helping them. Now that he has nothing, they in turn want nothing to do with him. Why should I do their questlines now? Why care? I understand that Cyberpunk should stay true to a certain tone but there’s that and then there’s just masochistic misery porn ||

tribal mortar
#

|| Kerry is just in europe and river is in deep shit he doesn't want to drag V into ||

#

|| Judy was always like that though ||

pearl walrus
#

|| well kerry is actually in space iirc. The crystal palace ||

tribal mortar
#

|| and Panam thought you straight died so she's traumatised ||

tribal mortar
#

|| you only knew them for a few months 2yrs ago though so it's not the most nonsensical ||

pearl walrus
#

|| I just think it was a contrived way to bite the player in the ass again. It felt shoehorned in. Insult to injury is fine if done right and I just don’t think this was it ||

pearl walrus
tribal mortar
#

She's extremely combative if you don't follow her questline

#

She also always leaves NC before Vs business is done if you don't romance

#

She utterly lacks any independence. Her actions in that ending were to be expected

pearl walrus
#

Fair. I’m not really on the Judy bandwagon either but more for the reasons Johnny says. She has no foresight- she’s impulsive as hell and acts without considering or caring about the consequences of her actions, especially when they’ll affect other people. When she rounded up those joytoys at clouds she should’ve figured that doing so would obviously invite the tyger claws to retaliate in a really bad way. And she already knew Maiko and what kind of persona she was, and she was still surprised pikachu face when she went off the rails

#

And even then all that happened was that she was sad for an afternoon and then she went scuba diving

#

So yeah not a big fan personally

#

I like her questline just cuz I like killing scavs and tyger claws but outside of that following her lead may even be more harmful than not

shadow sparrow
pearl walrus
#

Cool!

tribal mortar
#

Like codependent alt girls are the kinda woman he'd spend most of his career around anyway

#

She goes to the worst city in the states, works for a gang pimping people out and acts surprised when one of them gets disappeared

#

Then she further acts surprised when Tyger Claws murders the People she got to fight them for their turf

#

It's just multiple levels of successively poorer ideas that make her immediate flight post pyramid song incredibly grating

#

Like panam risks her entire family to help V if they so choose

#

Judy moreso acts out of this mourning induced self interest

pearl walrus
tribal mortar
#

She runs as soon as she can

#

And she tells you to essentially get fucked in the new ending

#

|| "dont ruin it for me" ||

#

Like bruh

#

I full on took a job pro bono and didn't point out it's list of flaws and I get told to go fuck myself

#

Like atleast panam avoids you because she highkey had a mental breakdown over it

pearl walrus
#

She lost the plot there for sure. She made a better life for herself and now she doesn’t want any of her old pals around dirtying the good silver

tribal mortar
#

Basically

#

She gives off that vibe

#

Like if she got a contract from a legit BD company. She'd disappear

#

She tries acting like she's a street kid but she's a corpo rat at heart

pearl walrus
#

Tbf, actual BD studios do contact her and try to recruit her if you read her email and she turns them down

tribal mortar
#

Cause she wants to innovate iirc

#

But she's making porn

#

So idk what she wants

pearl walrus
#

Neither does she. I don’t think she’s a good person but I will say she’s a really well written character for all the same reasons that I don’t like her personally lol

tribal mortar
#

She's representative of the kinda person who'd use mercs tbh

runic mango
shadow sparrow
#

just some crappy one off amazon

runic mango
#

hmmm dont have a halloween idea yet might go cyber punk

wet plank
#

Wowwww. This other path is rough

wet plank
#

I’m so frustrated with his stupid container in Black Sapphire

#

It’s the only damn place in the entire game to find this one specific mod for throwing knives

#

And as soon as the mission ends, it doesn’t matter if you picked it up or not, it’s just gone

#

Along with all the other items you picked up

#

So I’m trying to make a quick video showing that….but my menu won’t open at all even after the mission ends

#

I have to either fast travel or die to get my menu back

wet plank
#

Fml

#

I reloaded and tried the other PL path but apparently I made the wrong decision and now I still don’t have the new ending as an option

drowsy thunder
#

Time to make another save

wet plank
#

Honestly pretty burnt on the game at this point

#

It’s not fun to have to look up every single encounter just so I “do things right” for a scene

#

I was happier with my original choice but it didn’t give the new scenes

drowsy thunder
#

You weren't gonna get all 6 in one playthrough anyway

wet plank
#

Damn…even the good endings are sad

wet plank
#

Huh, never noticed before but Johnny’s silver hand was in part made by arasaka

wet plank
#

Well that’s all of them, done every ending now. Now I can go back and just do combat and ignore dialogue lol

wet plank
wet plank
#

New build lol. Lots of EMPs and explosions plus a katana

wet plank
#

Lol. Post-Cyberware-Shard glitch

drowsy thunder
#

Cyberpsycho roleplay

wet plank
#

I mean I’ve ran through a handful of times totally legit this time it’s just pure chaos and fun

drowsy thunder
#

❤️

shadow sparrow
#

you can go back and rewatch it later if you havent gotten that far yet

shadow sparrow
#

yeah there will be a BD of it at your apartment

drowsy thunder
#

i read that if you complete violence before this happens she'll send you a BD of the- yeah

shadow sparrow
#

it was a really cool show so I'm glad you can watch it again

runic mango
#

that was pretty neat and a bop had me awkward V dancing irl

drowsy thunder
#

ok i did one of the endings and i feel so dead inside rn

wet plank
#

I’ve done them all now

drowsy thunder
wet plank
#

But the other one has a bunch of iconics

drowsy thunder
#

is there a way to get all of those iconics on the same character?

#

silenced tech pistol sounds really nice

#

haven't used it yet, since i felt like taking a break

wet plank
#

Well, reloading saves yea there is

#

You need to have a save before Firestarter

#

I did every single ending on my netrunner but there was a lot of reloading old saves

#

Like one of them I lost 50hrs of playtime to go back to try another PL path

wet plank
#

I wish it had better one shot potential

wet plank
#

No I won’t do your silly game this time lol

pearl walrus
runic mango
#

Stabby mcstabby

wet plank
drowsy thunder
#

turn off depth of field

#

or at least massively change the focal point

wet plank
#

I wanted depth of field

#

That was the point lol

#

I almost always turn it off but I didn’t for that shot because I wanted focus on V

#

Those power lines have collision with the player unlike the ones in NC

drowsy thunder
#

focus on v

v is blurry
thonk

#

Hey for Dream On, do you guys tell Jeff about the brainwashing or not

drowsy thunder
#

he's gonna fight it, gonna lose and it's gonna fuck up his life

#

he's entirely powerless against it, better to have him enjoy his life

#

i'd want someone to keep it a secret if it was the case for me as well

#

i wouldn't be able to live with the idea that some ideas aren't my own

pearl walrus
#

My thing is that one of the logs you pick up from the dead secret agent guys if you hunt them down to the maelstrom compound says that the project is suspended indefinitely anyway

#

Since we showed up and found them out

#

That aside though, there’s more than his happiness at stake here. Whoever is behind it wants him as mayor, and we can’t trust that’s for altruistic reasons. In fact it’s likely the work of AIs from beyond the blackwall. It’s unclear what their plans are, but from Jeff’s anti-corporate stance and the ending where you invade the crystal palace for Mr. blue eyes, it’s certain that controlling night city is important toward their goals

drowsy thunder
#

istg blue eyes was once a human but he got taken over by a sentient AI

pearl walrus
#

Yes. And it’s heavily implied that he’s connected to what’s happening to the Peralez’es. At the final stage of the mission when you talk to Jeff for the last time, he’s there watching you from an adjacent balcony

drowsy thunder
#

yeah

drowsy thunder
#

oh shit this is DOPE

runic mango
#

I thought I was hot shit last night but max tac whoopded my ass lol still managed to get reward which is nice but damn

runic mango
#

Also anybody here about Cyberpunk Project Orion in Development

drowsy thunder
runic mango
#

weird never noticed it

drowsy thunder
runic mango
#

im a granny driver

#

like the delamain cab that tells you not to speed

#

by far my favorite car mostly due to engine sounds and suspension tbh this thing sounds like a forza dev built

runic mango
#

finally found the gig tied to that weird abandoned club i found early on through the playthrough

wet plank
runic mango
#

what in the death stranding

runic mango
#

uff this one is tough its hard to get through even

runic mango
#

records most of the retreat instead of intended content but whatevs

wet plank
#

I haven’t tried that thing yet

#

I should try it out

#

So the gig with the training kids plot, this time I rampaged the whole place and shut it down

#

But now the kid is at the market and his dad and him are not happy

drowsy thunder
#

Yeah he insults you for taking away the only chance they had of leaving dtown

#

I shot the woman during that gig

#

Objectifying and selling children as if they were stocks is just a no no

runic mango
#

I think thats what I would have ended up with but I was trying to be sherlock and also missed some time dialogue ques lol

runic mango
wet plank
runic mango
#

yeah for sure but does it just end there and you cant investigate further then?

wet plank
#

You steal the data from the PC

#

After the smoke clears from your rampage

#

Mr. hands is happy and we give him shit about the kids but then the kid and his dad are pissed

runic mango
#

but what about the farm and expirements

#

with the reemergance of childhood trauma for the psycho

wet plank
#

Huh? I’m talking about the one mission in dogtown lol

#

What farm and experiments

#

Rivers mission in base game?

runic mango
#

yeah

#

i never did it

#

and if i did I forgot

wet plank
#

It’s basically a sports academy that are installing chrome and training young kids to be star athletes

#

You have a few choices to make

#

First time I went in with tact and tried to think hard about what I would actually do

#

Second time, rampage

runic mango
#

no i did that one

#

im talking about the base rivers mission

runic mango
wet plank
#

Oh gotcha

#

Rivers mission never gives us a chance to actually do anything to the guy

#

But at least we save as many kids as we can

drowsy thunder
#

i wish the redhead twins were romanceable

wet plank
#

Yea, gotta say, she was my favorite for sure

#

Too bad she doesn’t even have that many scenes

drowsy thunder
#

She made me feel things I didn't know were possible

#

Christ Almighty

wet plank
wet plank
#

Staring contest

wet plank
#

Traffic be damned

runic mango
wet plank
#

I still need to try that cattle prod lol

drowsy thunder
runic mango
#

I think I will apogee is fun but damn it lasts a long time now and overlaps with other time buff triggers which confuzzle me

runic mango
wet plank
#

Damn that looks so good

#

My screen is my limiting factor

#

Need an HDR projector but they’re even more

#

Probably end up getting a nice TV eventually

#

My current projector isn’t HD

runic mango
#

my monitor isnt hd lol

wet plank
#

How does it look so good

#

I guess monitor doesn’t matter there

#

Since it’s a video file

#

My PS5 can do HD but my screen can’t so actually playing the game isn’t as good looking as the videos

runic mango
#

idk how it works but all screen grabs for me are downloaded at 1080 60fps

#

I have a 2560 1440 w rtx but I just managed to make this shit work properly i think

#

all i have to say is MSI Afterburner OC Scan and Intel Xtreme Utility for the win

runic mango
wet plank
#

Lame I thought that was a feature

drowsy thunder
#

yeah very realistic

#

shoot up some civillians, donate to some poor homeless person, poof, police no longer wants your ass

runic mango
#

im like a sour patch kid alright

wet plank
runic mango
drowsy thunder
#

I love skippy

drowsy thunder
runic mango
#

damn I did stone cold killer

drowsy thunder
runic mango
#

Grenade nose mod when

wet plank
#

It’s a blueprint only

runic mango
#

Im tired of doing side gigs but refuse to meet hanako at embers

wet plank
#

I wish there were more side gigs

runic mango
#

yeah ive gotten to the point in the game where I know I should complete but I am reluctant to say its over

wet plank
#

Yea that’s why I started another run and mostly ignored story stuff just to play through combat and gigs for fun

#

But I did start to get bored with it

#

Problem with heavily story oriented solo games is they just don’t have the replay ability of open world games

#

It’s a great game but I’ve seen every ending now

runic mango
#

the combat is still something that keeps me coming back for random encounters or to just test graphical settings as a benchmark lol

runic mango
#

would yall say that its to late for Game of the Year for CyberPunk

drowsy thunder
#

Legend of Zelda is also pretty high up the list of likeliness

#

But 2077?, nah, doubt it, they lost the chance on that nomination during launch

runic mango
#

damn it really feels like it was suppose to...rarely does a single player hold my attention for this long..starfield sure as shit couldnt

#

but ive been following this CDPR shit show for awhile so it makes sense

drowsy thunder
#

Plague tale

#

That game just

Hhhhhhh

runic mango
#

Plague tale made me feel things to a point where I uninstalled

#

specially the second part which I should come back to

drowsy thunder
runic mango
#

Requiem

drowsy thunder
#

What part did you get to?

runic mango
#

right after the castle

#

with the boy

drowsy thunder
#

Oh man

#

You need to finish it

#

It's by far one of the best story games I've played ever

#

You played innocence before right?

runic mango
#

yeah i didnt like where it was headed it felt like it was only going to get worst like a book I read that was recommended but was agonizing

#

briefly

tribal mortar
#

The second games ending is high key mid

drowsy thunder
drowsy thunder
runic mango
#

I need to circle back and finish after this playthrough of cyberpunk

drowsy thunder
#

The music too...fucking hell

runic mango
#

innocence is a must?

drowsy thunder
#

Yeah

runic mango
#

cause it aint on sale lol

drowsy thunder
#

Imo it is

#

You bond so much with Hugo

#

From a gameplay perspective no not at all

#

From a story perspective? Yeah absolutely so

#

You could alternatively watch a playthrough on yt

runic mango
#

so stupid and unintuitive to have the sequel available and not the first part

drowsy thunder
#

The game is only 14hr long

drowsy thunder
#

They expect you to have played it

tribal mortar
runic mango
#

well they can expect me to watch a playthrough

tribal mortar
#

Why not just play both tf

runic mango
#

but i am reinstalling requiem i need something hefty emotionally

tribal mortar
#

Be like starting at Mass Effect 3

runic mango
#

im not spending 40 dollars for a title thats x years old

drowsy thunder
#

I played innocence on release, waited, then played it again a month before requiem released

tribal mortar
#

Age doesn't diminish quality g

drowsy thunder
#

And yeah ouch it sucks

runic mango
#

it doesnt

#

I didnt say it did

drowsy thunder
#

I wouldn't pay $40 for it tbh

tribal mortar
#

It was implied

drowsy thunder
#

Game is really well done but the runtime isn't worth it

tribal mortar
runic mango
#

no it wasnt at all actually

drowsy thunder
#

Ehh*

runic mango
#

legit not paying 40 dollars for x old game when I have subscriptions

tribal mortar
#

AAA is priced at $70

runic mango
#

I agree it might be great

#

thats awesome dont pay that either

tribal mortar
#

AA is priced at $50

runic mango
#

awesome still dont pay that

tribal mortar
drowsy thunder
#

Yeah but I'm with derp

tribal mortar
runic mango
#

ahh get it

drowsy thunder
#

Im not paying that much for a game when you're basically paying $2 per hour of gameplay

#

Well. I did end up buying it because I loved the prequel

runic mango
#

yeah linear story however good the plot maybe ill just buy a fucking book lol

drowsy thunder
#

And to me it's worth it, but I'm not gonna recommend someone to get it full price

tribal mortar
#

Most plots are linear though

drowsy thunder
tribal mortar
#

Unless you mean worldspace

drowsy thunder
#

Amicia's VA did an amazing job

runic mango
#

ok lol well ill check gog and steam and keep my eye out

tribal mortar
runic mango
#

cause tbh aint nobody sitting through a playthrough

drowsy thunder
runic mango
#

ya start wanting to check corners and shit

#

and yeah i cant

tribal mortar
# drowsy thunder Huh wym

If you buy a console you can probably afford games every couple months. I don't think the cost to time ratio is effective

#

Cause a ubisoft game can range 120 hours but the enjoyment factor is gonna be lower than a better made game

drowsy thunder
#

Yes, but that still doesn't take away that the average person isn't gonna be willing to spend $30 on a game that has half the run time

#

If you know the game and the studio, then you will without thinking twice

tribal mortar
#

Average person spends the same on skins though

drowsy thunder
#

But those are somehow worth it

#

Because they spend it on a game they know they like

runic mango
#

they do be gratifying lol

tribal mortar
#

Albeit they keep putting shovelware on it

#

Like redfall

runic mango
#

sure do

#

I downloaded it tried to replay it

drowsy thunder
#

Why buy anything at full price if you can wait a bit until a sale

runic mango
#

its pretty

#

but its arse

drowsy thunder
#

Wasn't atomic heart also on gp

tribal mortar
#

I just moved over to playstation cause the monthly games are decent

drowsy thunder
#

I should try ah

runic mango
#

I have a PS5 that sits just due to PS Plus content being shit

tribal mortar
runic mango
#

and its expensive

tribal mortar
#

The game service yes but the monthly no

#

You get 3 actual games

#

Games for Gold gave you shovelware before they canned it for being terrible

runic mango
#

I know ive had for a long time but i havnt seen the value of it in a year or so

#

been actually almost a year since my last PS+

#

but cant deny its hard to go back to console once youve dedicated time and money into a rig

tribal mortar
#

Halo Infinite sufficiently pissed me off I just stopped playing xbox tbh

drowsy thunder
tribal mortar
#

Like AAA, Microsoft financed. And it released like that

runic mango
#

you know what game performs amazing on gamepass doom eternal

#

chefs kiss

tribal mortar
#

My only issue is it takes much longer to get into streaming for xbox than PS

drowsy thunder
#

Doom just has a special place in everyone's heart

runic mango
#

it really does the run and gun so well

#

like set the standard

#

i could see influences in cyberpunk tbh

drowsy thunder
#

Yeah but weird take but I prefer bl3 over stuff like doom because of the gun customisation and actually getting your own gear

runic mango
#

Ive spent more time in BL3 but Enjoy Dooms performance and speed

drowsy thunder
#

Mindless shooting can be really fun but I feel like it doesn't really have a purpose if you're not leveling or grinding something

runic mango
#

it takes reaction speed and skill though

#

but i agree i do prefer the option of builds and rpg

#

doom in a sense has always filled that lets see how much you can take and how fast you can take it..Benchmarking fps skills if you will

#

this thang is luxurious though
