From what I gather this isn't a new campaign, it's content added to the middle of a game I already finished. So my choices are: load up a save of my indestructible killing machine to see the cutscenes, start a new character and waste hours reaching the thing purchased, or skip it.

Will probably be the latter.

Hot take: 20% of all characters in the Cyberpunk 2077 setting looked like trans pornstars so this drama is confusing.

This takes place after VOODOO BOIZ quest. So essentially at the end of the game.
If you load a save before the "Point of no Return" part of the story you are at the appropriate spot to do this DLC.

Bit of a weird decision given that they went into this DLC knowing it was their last one.. why not extend the game / make the base campaign good.

If anything it's more immersive. In a world where people are just swapping out body parts nilly willy.. I fully expect our world to become a dystopia like this.
Frankly many people in {current_year} already suffer from cyberpsychosis just browsing twitter.

No one in this thread has given me a straight answer yet. Can I put a bullet in the flesh demon and remove it from the mortal coil?

I'm not sure if they can be killed in the story.. but you can't walk up and shoot any of the main NPC's.

Seems like regular ray-tracing is broken at the moment.

CDPR puts zero developer foresight into their design, they create semi-linear moviegames.

Hi, I don't want to sound too mean, but please use punctuation in your posts. It was very hard to tell if you're a spam bot, or not. Like... if someone didn't approve your first post, I would've not approved this one, just to be safe.

In any case, welcome to the HQ and have fun! :bounce:

"I only play mature games for mature gamers such as myself" is certainly the CD Projekt brand.

You could probably make a dozen, completely new games with that kind of money back in the day. I think it cost less to make the first Red Dead Redemption from what I remember.

Yeah, but the one edge CDPR have over other developers is their (bullshit) reputation as "one of the good developers". It's part of their brand, and all the lies and false advertising they got into before the launch of 2077 cost them that reputation. The disastrous release of 2077 was likely the biggest fuckup of the past ten years, especially since it was hyped to high heaven.

Not that I think CDPR will do much better going forward. The Californian expats have crawled their way into the company, most of the Polish talent has fled, they've opened a new studio in the US, which means more Western dangerhairs. I fully expect Witcher 4 to offer the option of playing as a female protagonist, to offer the choice of pronouns and to feature as many swarthoids as they can cram into the game.

Witcher 4 will open with Geralt fighting a monster in his later years.. and stumbling.. making mistakes.. he's old and his sword is so heavy.. and just as the monster rears it's head to end him, a black goddess will step out, grinning at the beast "Sheeeit Gerry.. step back ya ol' white boi.. leave dis beastie to me forreal" ..

Then xer will launch into the air doing 500 flips and slice it into a billion pieces.. Laquisha is one of the most powerful witchers in the world and also descendent of elder blood (ciri's unknown sister actually) and also the queen of the southern kingdom of Wakangarrd.

How does the quality compare to the quality of the original game ?

<aweigh> lol i'm playing phantom liberty right now and i just did the first car combat "mission", and it is so bad
<aweigh> the car combat is fucking awful
<aweigh> the car combat is exactly what one might expect, something they tacked on and it's janky as hell

<aweigh> what i ended up doing was just getting out of my car and blasting everyone on foot
<aweigh> much easier

<aweigh> yeah and had basically a full time team on the dlc. i mean, production/quality wise the dlc looks the part, it looks better than the main game, all that stuff.

<aweigh> i will say though i do like how they rebalanced perks and weapons

<aweigh> they completely removed the tedious loot/upgrade treadmill, instead now you can ONLY upgrade iconic/uniques
<aweigh> regular weapons cannot be upgraded anymore, so there's no longer any reason to tediously loot everything to craft/upgrade your junk
<aweigh> instead you're incentivized to find uniques (or find their crafting schematic) and upgrade those
<aweigh> i like that

<aweigh> i also like how they streamlined the perk systems, now everything is spread out between the different attributes in a much better way. no longer are body and reflexes the only things worth putting points in
<aweigh> the perks are also gated behind amount of attribute points, so you're incentivized to specialize

<aweigh> also, they turned your grenades and healing items into a cooldown-consumable; instead of carrying around 150 MaxDocs, you instead have 1 MaxDoc which you upgrade via perks or cyberware, increasing amount it heals, its cooldown efficiency, etc. same with grenades, you slowly upgrade how many you can fire off at a time before needing to recharge, etc

<aweigh> tbh, it's way better than carrying around 200 grenades. plus it's tied to perks, plus you no longer need to tediously loot every single maxdoc you see, or every 'nade you see lying around. it does cut down on the amount of tedious looting.

also, they completely changed how you get armor and defense now. Clothing now no longer provides you the majority of your armor, instead most clothing items are cosmetic while a few have traits or bonuses associated to them, like a hat that increases stealth, or a special shirt that gives a small armor bonus.

instead, now the majority of your armor comes from your cyberware, and you can't just install the best cyberware right off the bat, now you have to put points into the associated attributes that cyberneeds AND unlock perks that let you use some of the better stuff.

I love how clothing is cosmetic.. glad I can customize my character in a game that is forced first person and I can never see what the fuck I'm wearing.
Pollacks can't stop winning bros.


They replaced it with a way better system.. now cyberware gives armor.... almost randomly.. with zero visual effect either.. and you just equip more pieces for more armor.. completely new system.. totally better. game is fixed.

((TL;DR - just run around naked and disassemble all your clothing into rare components so you can upgrade the shitty weapons they give you)

Just beat 2077 for the first time. The DLC was easily the worst part of the game by far. Mission after mission of learning the life story of girlbosses, glowie niggers, and glowie nigger girlbosses via agonizingly long Half-Life 2 cutscenes. I wanted to kill them all. Instead, my character actually fucking broke down crying when one died at the end. The final mission was literally just sitting down while a black guy told me how horrible I was and all I could do was apologize. Never did run into the troon from the OP though.

What was wrong with Cyberpunk at launch? What is this narrative? It was a high budget GTA with Keanu. Exactly as advertised.

Is this zeitgeist because it ran poorly on the PS2? :D
