Shoehead posted:I remember a few months ago when the character creations options were hinted at and some people were upset about 2 peniseses vs 1 vagina option and it was really obvious it was to include circumcision and not some sort of penis bias (at least in that case). Cyberpunk confirmed to be highly misogynistic by including male genital mutilation options but not including female genital mutilation options.

Finally beat the game. I did enjoy it all the way through but I gotta say, it really doesn't quite reach the level of quality of Witcher 3, which had me disappointed somewhat. The game overall is shorter and smaller and doesn't compensate for it in any meaningful way. You'd think that if you were making a 20 hour AAA game (I spent a lot more time on my playthrough but that's how long I estimate the main story would take) you'd give it a higher degree of replayability but this game really doesn't, the game doesn't offer any meaningfully varied ways to complete quests depending on your build, nor does it make the storyline meaningfully branch depending on your choices. The whole experience is pretty close to the level of linearity of Witcher 3 but there's just...less of it. The origin choice amounts to basically 30 minutes of unique content and some random lines throughout the game, and all of the 5 different endings (kind of 3 different endings + 2 small variations ones) branch out starting from the last hour of the game. As for the gameplay it was...fine. The thing that bothered me about it was how much the gameplay was railroaded. Any creative solutions to quests/encounters I wanted to try were thwarted in favor of tightly scripted quest narrative, so it's definitely no immersive sim. Enemies were getting spawned in front of the cameras I hacked or behind my back when the quest demanded it so there's really no meaningful variety in the playstyles there. Just different ways of eliminating same dudes. The game didn't even give me ANY unique choices of interacting with Voodoo Boys' quest despite me being a high level netrunner, THAT was so incredibly disappointing. I still enjoyed myself but I don't think I'd recommend buying this game for more than 30 maybe 40 bux, even after they patch all the bugs.

Sab669 posted:That said I totally disagree about No Replayability: I virtually haven't dabbled in Hacking at all on my first character, so I'm looking forward to Corpo Hackerman playthrough #2 this weekend. You're in for a surprise. Surprise being that hacking is not much different from shooting someone with a gun but with extra steps. Also I haven't found any quests that I could solve in an alternative way by using hacking.

Reminder that if you bought the game at launch on GOG then you're still eligible for a refund. I did just that because a buggy (albeit still good) aand linear 30 hour campaign with mediocre gameplay for 60 bux feels like a total scam.

ColdIronsBound posted:Does the game do the thing where you only get a good ending if you have completed some relatively obtuse sidequests? If so I'd like some vague hints please! There is no "good" ending as per genre tradition. There are 3 full endings that you get to pick between during the last hour of the game and the two of them are locked behind certain optional quest chains.

That reminds me. In my playthrough I did The Pickup by screwing the corpo woman but also saving the old gang leader at the same time and did that result in anything interesting? No, the game never acknowledged me doing that. The more I think about the game the worse is the "aftertaste" gets. I don't even see it being possible to fix it with an enhanced edition. They'd need to double the amount of content in the main campaign to give it any kind of meaningful replayability.

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:lmao but also the game acknowledges your decisions in later chapters.  If you save Brick but also work with Royce, Brick doesn't show up again. Also can't help but notice that your char only has 2 unique outcomes for Militech and two unique outcomes for Maelstrom. The latter affects like 5 minutes of one quest and the former affects literally nothing.

Speaking of even the most branching quest being actually not very good at all, here's another part of that quest that totally ignores your actions. If you ally with Maelstrom then Gilchrist ends up killing Stout but if during the mission you find out that Gilchrist is actually a mole you won't be able to bring that up. Would've been nice to blackmail him or something. But no, you can't even mention that you know that. Xarbala posted:If you work with Royce then of course Brick isn't going to show up again since his return is predicated on him being the boss of his gang why is this even a complaint. Because in a game where supposedly  I was expecting the choices I make to actually affect anything. Instead I got what barely amounts to Telltale level of story branching where nothing you do makes any meaningful difference. double negative posted:i haven’t done this permutation but im not sure how you expect brick to survive, even if you saved him, if you also helped royce He mentions that a lot of gang members are still on his side and were helping him even while he was imprisoned. The chaos Militech was causing was a perfect cover for a getaway with the help of some chooms.

Bust Rodd posted:That’s crazy because my V has 70 hours played and I’ve only done 2/3 of the map icons and 90% of the main storyline. I can’t imagine what kind of brutal efficiency you’ve been employing to clear the entire game in 40 hours. By not doing most of the "enter building, kill dude/grab thing, exit building missions" after I noticed that they are all loving same and are just pointless filler content with no value. I've done all the Panam, Johhny, Judy and Kerry questlines at a leisurely pace. 40 hours isn't even that weird of a number. HowLongToBeat.Com mentions roughly the same numbers.

Bust Rodd posted:I fundamentally disagree that those are filler missions. The only stuff I would consider filler are the NCPD baseball bat icons, some of the best vignettes in the game are these little side missions, and it’s certainly where I think the most Cyberpunk stories are being told. Maybe I was unlucky or something but I've done like, a dozen random sidequests throughout my playthrough and none of them were anywhere near the level of Witcher 3's sidequests, so eventually I stopped bothering.

Basic Chunnel posted:Yeah the choice options, even cosmetic ones, are night and day (city) compared to Witcher 3. Just about every side quest in TW3 has some wrinkle that Geralt has to deal with, a duplicitous questgiver or something else that complicates an otherwise simple “complete and turn in” loop, forcing Geralt to make some kind of decision. Completely agree with you. It makes me think though, has anyone compared the credits of Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk? Did they have a bunch of good writers leave the studio after Witcher 3 or something?

exquisite tea posted:I did like CP2077 a bit more than the Witcher because I always found Geralt to be a pretty dull protagonist, whereas Keanu was exactly what I needed. I always liked Keanu Reeves as an actor and I do like the character of Johnny Silverhand but IMO Keanu really doesn't fit his role there. He's good at being the stoic hero like in The Maxtrix or John Wick, but not the charismatic anarchist. Hell, every time he swears it feels incredibly unnatural, and Johhny swears a lot.

Also, the most infuriating part of the game, to me personally, was all the goddamn calls you get from random fixers you never talked to, with the button prompt to Answer, implying that you have a choice to not answer them. Except you don't have that choice. It's a great representation of the whole game, now that I think about it.

Even if I were to be supremely optimistic, I don't think any amount of patching can make Cyberpunk into a great game. There's just so much poo poo that got cut from the original plan. Like, how the gently caress do you turn a linear 20 hour storyline that ends in an Endingtron 2000 and make it be on par with a proper AAA game like Witcher 3 without making a whole another game worth of content? EDIT: And before someone jumps down my throat again, fine, if you are to be generous it takes about 40 hours to see all the endings.
