350 hours and just finished my first playthrough over the weekend.  chose  because I'm a  . Of course I went back in for another and decided to try Rogue. Arasaka assault was fun but man not a huge fan of the epilogue. Steve wasn't a great voice actor.I do look forward to more patches coming out to do a second playthrough since I had Berserk installed most of my run and frying people with net wizardy would be fun. This game rules.

I hope they use the city again and make like a detective story. Like a grizzled old private detective trying to solve a Jig-Jig Street murder. A lot of synthy slow horn music and DLC fedoras.

How will it be a mystery when you automatically teleport in behind the murderer as soon as they kill their victim?

Plus that kind of situation could be used to pull in some of the tabletop roles that don't really work with V. You got your solo with a tiny bit of netrunner and that's pretty much all V has going on, even though there's ten drat classes. Having a different sort of plot could mean having a different kind of player. But that'd mean way different gameplay mechanics and the ones out now aren't really working.

It'd be neat to fit an entire story into one neighborhood, there's enough locked doors and unimplemented floors to fit whatever amount of story you want into even one building.

Now I'm picturing your average NCPD officer just getting ready to punch out, or get a cup of coffee, or writing a report, or sitting down on the can getting ready to drop a deuce, only to be instantly teleported somewhere because someone just beat a pervert ripperdoc to death in his private office a few seconds before.

History Comes Inside! posted:How? Mainly a normal days playing would be setting a waypoint to a mission, bumping into a wall or roof that wasn't solid then exploring out of bounds for the rest of the day.  Also partially poking and platforming around the map, partially photo mode until it stopped working.Well also the first week or so of playing there were still enough bugs that forced reloading/softlocking and setting back progress. The game has issues but good God the parts that work are incredible. I unabashedly love this game. 350 hours I will be the first to admit is absurd though. _____! fucked around with this message at 15:34 on Feb 16, 2021 |

A rendering and streaming engine like Cyberpunk's is worth tens of millions of dollars and I can definitely see a real game company with state protection from IP suits buying it. Absolutely not, an engine by a different developer without support is worth absolutely nothing. And there are tons of better engines available to anyone. Unreal Engine and Unity both exist, no one wants Cd Project's terrible engine, and stolen source code of a game isn't worth "tens of millions of dollars", lmao. It's worthless. The idea that Russia or China stole the Cyberpunk source to release an asset flip is even more absurd. Fame Douglas fucked around with this message at 16:55 on Feb 16, 2021 |

also if this was about a nation stealing the code in order to copy it for one of their own companies to make poo poo, why would they bother writing a ransom note and attracting all this attention? yes there are plenty of cases of china stealing ip from other countries, i've worked at a company where it happened. there were certainly no announcements or notes about it beforehand. i dont think there almost ever are?

I get having the ability to talk to Hanako ASAP and scoop Johnny out for a truly horrible ending if that's how you want to roleplay, but now I'm level 50 and being drip-fed a bunch of really good quests with all the side jobs cleared save racing. I can't seem to get Skippy to prompt me for a return either, and I'd really like to complete the stash wall for a hot second. Oh well, game still good.

Plus that kind of situation could be used to pull in some of the tabletop roles that don't really work with V. Definitely. One of my biggest problems with 2077's plot is how insanely powerful V becomes without really any in game explanation as to why. Like, why the gently caress aren't there other solos who get Sandevistan implants as good as V's (hell, just giving some top enemies a thing that makes it so they Sandevistan whenever you do so everything stays full speed), or netrunners who hack you into suicide or death or...whatever. In a lower stakes game the answer is cost and of course some top-tier Corp is going to have someone as borged out as V can get, or as good at netrunning, or whatever, but you just won't see them because you're in a low-stakes game. But when you're regularly storming some of the most powerful places in the world and you're somehow a one-person army and nobody else can challenge you it stretches my imagination when a month before you were some gutter trash with a pair of loaned Kiroshi eyes and a washed up fixer with a gig. The Witcher gives you that out because it flat out tells you why Geralt is special. V explicitly isn't, and they also somehow avoid making the Relic a reason for that specialness. I like having the narrative match the game and a lower-stakes game would do that better, imo.

I mean, they do mention that you and Johnny's personalities are slowly merging over the course of the game, and he's shown to be an absolute juggernaut when you play as him. It's not specifically spelled out that the Relic is making you more powerful, but they do suggest the possibility.

Game good.

I like having the narrative match the game and a lower-stakes game would do that better, imo. The game definitely feels like it should have capped at 30 instead of 50. Once you hit 30 (or really once you hit 20 in any stat and start equipping legendaries) the power level dramatically tips in V's favor. On my first playthrough I had 2 stats at 15 and spread the rest of my points around and it felt sufficiently difficult until the end. On my second playthrough when I actually knew what I was doing I went straight for 20 in hacking and I was oneshotting the game by the time I finished the prologue. If CDPR fixes it so the endgame is balanced, or releases DLC that actually needs over level 30, it will probably make sense.

They'd need to do more than a little number tweaking to reset the power curve. One little love tap from my katana does like 20 million damage in a game where the endboss has maybe twice that much HP.

Tenzarin posted:I'm pretty sure fixing hacker man from destroying the entire game is completely out of scope for this game or DLC. It's not just hackerman. The AI has absolutely no answer to Sandevistan either. And the scaling in no way keeps up with stacking crit (and headshot if you want) modifiers for damage, so every attack basically turns into a single shot kill anyway. Hackerman just breaks it a bit faster and sooner. E: and the Relic/Johnny as a reason for V's power is maybe reasonable except Johnny 's deal is pistols as well as having tons of connections. Yeah he's a powerhouse, but he knows Rogue and a ton of other kickass people to help out, and is enough of a name to kickstart riots whenever he wants. V's got none of that, except maybe pistols if you specc'd that way. That said it could be cool to steal Apex's Wraith's Voices from the Void ability and have him yell warnings to you.

There's a certain amount of power implied by the additional endings a low level solo wouldn't waltz through the front door of arasaka and go to murdertown but yeah this is definitely one of those Issues that CDPR would need to address if they want the game to be "complete." I've been out of the loop - has there been any word on whether or not they are fixing the larger design games problems or are they still in "oh poo poo we need to get it running on PS4" mode?

The arasaka mikoshi ending is still stuck in my head. The tests and the calls to friends back on Earth who are too busy for you and then the transition to third-person and then your character staring into the camera as the lights go out. And then the voicemails in the credits. I knew it wasn't going to be happy but drat, that's some existential sadness.

Yeah I guess the easiest thing is that V shouldn't be a nobody at the start of the game. Not a legend, no, but not a nobody either. It'd make the catapulting to the levels that they do make a bit more sense to me.

I can accept that it's not V or Johnny but rather the combination of the engram with a person that might supercharge things. I was also level 50 when I took the final plunge so I kind of expected to murderize everything in my path with my 2.6k DPS katana, 200% crit, and +100 movement speed and poo poo. I think I took out Adam in like five hits. Also, is Yorinobou's long, trailing robe a reference to something? I feel like that style/aesthetic seems really familiar for some reason.

The other endings make more sense from where V started - the Arasaka ending V just gives up and lets Arasaka do their thing and in the alternate endings needs either Aldecado's army or Rogues army to get inside. Only the Johnny really matches the Level 30+ power level that you can achieve.
