exquisite tea posted:I'm sympathetic to NV's bugginess because the game really did have to account for players who literally killed everyone they met and still be able to advance. I sniped Aurelian of Phoenix from like a mile away and didn't realize he was like an important Legion mucky-muck with a questline and everything until I wiki'd him. 15/10 would have spurs that jingle jangle again

so this game is fun but man you can just feel where they cut stuff more acutely than any other game I've played like every interaction you have with Meredith Stout screams "this character was gonna be way more important/a romance option but we ran out of time"

Xachariah posted:You never played KOTOR 2 or VtMB? There were even massive player led projects to restore unused content in those games. The missing content is blatantly obvious (and restorable) too since IIRC they essentially commented out stuff to get the game out the door faster. I started VtMB but bounced off it, I might try it again with the full mod experience And I dunno, it does feel a little weird that like, she's apparently the only character in the whole game who V can have a fling with but nothing more outside of like, unnamed joytoys. Why go through the trouble with just that one character if it wasn't a remnant of something else? Although if she's at the bottom of the ocean that would make it difficult to write a larger story for her.

Basic Chunnel posted:Further from my previous effortpost re: how this game compares to TW3, what's really sticking in my craw as I play through the third act (beyond CTDs I keep hitting in Chippin' In) is how often sidequests seem to present up-or-down choices not on how to approach a task, but whether the task is accepted at all. Say what you will about TW3, the game was really successful in presenting quest approach as a function of how Geralt moves within the world. That is, when Geralt is presented with a sketchy request, the game implicitly asks the player to consider whether it is a smart, wise or worthwhile decision to entertain. It was really effective not only in making those decisions feel weighty (often weighing mercy and good intentions against the responsibilities and credo of Witchering) but made saying no to people feel like a valid choice. Geralt could call bullshit, and consequences would follow. yeah it's very much "the character would not be stupid enough to do these things except for the fact that they're the most dangerous person in the gameworld and can handle any betrayal by spamming heals and the gun they found that's twice as good as anyone else's gun"

River was gonna give me a boost over a wall in the mission where you have dinner with his family and I was like “nah I have the double jump legs” and he had dialogue when I just jumped over the gate, that was pretty cool Then I was like “absolutely no way am I gonna sleep with you, cop”

So is Kerry’s whole quest chain only post-Takemura-Hanako mission? If so that seems like a weird time to introduce it as V’s death seems to be rapidly approaching by that point

I forgot the exact phrasing, but it really sounds like a "I'm going to have a ton of work to do" more than "this is going to be even worse on my own".

they do something really interesting with Rogue's face to make it clear that she's like a 90-year-old woman using expensive tech to make herself look younger. like it works but it doesn't QUITE work for her

A thing I really like about this game after thinking about it for a bit post-ending is that the stakes are surprisingly personal. Really, if you’re an average citizen in Night City, V’s whole quest has very little chance of affecting you at all. Maybe they’re dimly aware of you as Kerry Eurodyne’s friend who showed up in an interview and played a the Samurai reunion concert but everything else you do just kind of blends into the overall wildness of Night City. Where V really makes an effect is in the lives of individuals, mostly her friends and family. Witcher 3 kinda did that but it also gave you an enormous amount of control over world-shaking events — assassinations and the like. Cyberpunk keeps the stakes surprisingly low —- in my ending I ignored the whole Arasaka succession thing in favor of going off with V’s friends and girlfriend and I think it really benefits from that.

Dapper_Swindler posted:its absolutely that. i like kerry, i wish he was in the game more/had more quests, same with river and judy. Kerry’s quests are all really cool and I like how none of them require you to murder anything. It’s just hanging out with your obscenely wealthy not-quite washed-up rockerboy buddy. The concert quest was my fave but I also really liked the boat one. Listening to him work out a new song while chilling on the boat was awesome and I didn’t skip the ride at all

Khanstant posted:Do you play in a completionist way where you do everything you can until you have to progress the main plot? I did and every single Kerry mission happened after I had did most other content in the game, one after another. I even had a side quest for like 50 hours that was like "do missions until wait for so and so to be available to contact." Turns out that person is tied to the Kerry stuff. there's just no way to meet him without progressing one of the later main quests. I went to his home and killed his robots before I knew he existed lol. Yeah the weird thing about Kerry’s missions is they become accessible immediately after V’s condition becomes obviously really horrible, so there’s more of the ol’ ludonarrative dissonance than usual
