You can pinpoint EXACTLY when this game goes to shit

Oh i felt something when he died alright.

Dissapointment, your bro just died and you couldnt have changed it in fucking RPG

this

The game was advertised with having a non-linear story where your choices and your LARPing actually mattered. Turns out they don't.

Even more ridiculous is that afterwards you’ll get a call from his mom and all his friends and everone acts like they know you and you have a history together when all you have done so far was 3 prologue missions and some random encounterz because Watson was under lockdown.
It feels like CDRed cut 10hours eorth of prologue missions and encounters from the game and condensed it into a tiny 30seconds montage after you finished your 5minutes lifepath intro.

>Dissapointment, your bro just died and you couldnt have changed it in fucking RPG
I feel the same way. The problem is that the game ISN'T an RPG. The devs flat.out say so.
But WHY did they develop this game as an RPG for almost a decade, only to rollback and claim that it's an "open-world, action-adventure story".

This.

You can perhaps do that shit in a movie or a comic, but in a game it's pure cringe. All fun missions you could have done are in a silly montage.
You don't even get to actually drive TO the city your first time and slowly see the civilization around you. No. They fucking teleport you there

>do we want the players to ply through the the rise of Jackie and V as they start fresh in night city and work their way up through the underground slumming it until they finally hit the big score?
>or do we want the players to feel like a side character as we railroad them into sucking Johnny’s cock all day long making the whole game one being Johnny Silverhand suck fest?
The more I think about it the more disappointed I get.

this game is a complete disaster, even if you somehow manage to remove everybug, you're left with a mediocre openworld FPS shooter against sponges, the RPG element is non-existant

Sleeping Dog Jackie felt more impactful.

After act 1, most game journos wont finish anything after act 1 and will give it rave reviews.

that's because you actually go out on mssions with Jackie and he's the only real character that links wei shen to his other criminal buddies

For me it was around the time I spoke to the sheriff as a nomad and the game showed me the railroad I was stuck on by having all of my dialogue choices lead to him giving me same shit. Things only got worse from there, though I think the real crowning glory is the asshole that keeps sending me his spiel on why capitalism is bad.

That's because that Jackie was a cool guy. The one little bro you wanna protect. Your one only friend. That buddy who's always there for you even when you forget about him.

Cyberpunk Jackie is a giant white buff Mexican who already has a goth gf while you don't

He was way too forced. I just wanted this mf to get the fuck outta my way, senpai

Not a disaster, when you compare it to the absolute shitshow we got this year

>RPG
It's an action adventure game

>do the mission where I talk to the ex cop
>get him to agree to talk again
>fucker blows his brains out after I wait a few hours
>savescum and try several different ways all with the exact same results
>mfw
Why give me the fucking dialogues if he's gonna kill himself anyway? What the hell is the point of giving players a billion branching paths if they all lead to the same shit pile in the end? With every railroad I feel a stronger desire to find the guys that made this shit and slap them right in the heads of their dicks with the edge of a yard stick.

The cop neighbor that lives below you?

I saved em and got the cops to talk to him after. Never blew his brains out in my game.

>start game as superior corpo
>literally first thing you hear street rat jackie in your ear
>literally start corpo life as a traitor
>15 minutes later lose all money and status, become street rat
i love video games that really let you choose your destiny. 100/100 masterpiece game of the century

Yeah that was gay af but hardly the tipping point

Nani the fuck? I did that as well and after telling the cops to talk to him I wait for like two hours to find out he's Jackson pollock'd his walls with his brains.

Nope. They knock on the door, the guy tells him a story of a girl who got killed and covered up, that he remembers the green shit with yellow cat on it, etc.

Henley's em in and they hash it out helping him.

Went back, never blew his brains out. That's was just the end.

Lmao

Something similar happened to me as a Corpo. These dudes show up to question you and there’s literally no agency in how it played out, just on the fucking rails to montage land

Choices in nv dont matter

attackofthefanboy.com/guides/cyberpunk-2077-happy-together-quest-guide-find-andrews-niche-save-barry/

Someone wrote a whole guide on it apparently.

But I did it without any issue first time. Didn't know he could even die, figured it was opposite and I couldn't fail.

Also this

Try calling Jackies phone

Either I fucked up or I ran into that bug where shit plays out the same regardless of what you do. With the literal trash fire that is this game it's a 50/50 shot.

It's a shame about the hilarious level of bugs and fucking awful RPG elements (stealth killing with pistols being useless because you essentially just have to cross your fingers and hope the first shot is the kill thanks to random health pool and weapon damage) because I find the stories and missions really compelling.
I actually got super pissed when in Pacifica the fucking Voodoos tried to use you as a sacrifice TWICE. Just the thought of how many times they killed random outsiders who thought they were doing normal business for the sin of not being a Voodoo Boy made me mad. Then, after you force them to try to hold up their end, they chuck you past the Blackwall. Fucking cunts. Only reason I didn't slaughter them was because I don't want to lock myself out of any future content.

Nailed it

They stopped calling it an RPG for a reason you idiots.

i kinda hate v. doesn't feel like i'm playing "my character" desu. this shit is railroaded as fuck why did they include such an insane character creator and hype it up just to make it completely irrelevant?

Jesus fuck this is what I kept trying to resolve? I have to find a niche for a fucking tortoise?

>stealth killing with pistols being useless

You must be joking. The "stealth" build is broken to the point of being dumb and unfun.

Jackie died bro. I saw his bloody corpse hanging, then some Triads fuckers knocked me out, took off my shirt and I'm suddenly in a building being tortured on a chair

For me, It was when I tried out all 3 starting stories and saw that they ALL go through the exact same intro, no matter what, outside of the first literal 5 minutes.

You also can't slaughter them. The game doesn't let you.

As soon as I came out of the black wall and finished I was pissed and pulled out my mantis blades, couldn't hurt any of them.

That's when I fully realized I wasn't playing a real open world RPG and learned this wasn't one, it was kinda just pretending to be one.

After that I was fine with playing first person future gta with stats and perks.

>HEY V
>I KNOW YOU DIDN'T ASK, BUT HERE'S MORE REALLY EXCITING OPEN-WORLD CONTENT

>They stopped

They shouldn't have started to begin with

worst part about the lifepaths are the montages you can pretty much tell that they just bowed out trying to make it work

it doesn't need to keeps its promises to still be a good game

why does it feel like everybody in night city has my number

Seriously, you just knew it was cut content.

>HEY V IT'S DELAMAIN COMIN ATCHA WITH SOME HOT EMERGENT GAMEPLAY NOW GO FIND MY CAR BUT I CAN'T MARK IT FOR REASONS

At least you can spite them in the mission.

>HEY V
>I KNOW YOU DIDN'T ASK, BUT
>I never asked for this

Man, fucking Severance: Blade of Darkness managed to marry having four completely different starts by just giving them a unique first level.
And a AAA game in production for half a decade couldn't match that.

the montage in the intro should've been Act 1, with the heist shit being Act 2. Jackie's death would've been much more impactful if we actually to bond with him beyond 3 missions.

Wait until talking taxi starts calling you and overriding currently tracked quest.

Because you probably picked a female character and every Cybernigga is trying to hit on you by creating side quests

Speaking of the delamain shit, are the actually supposed to be 7 cars? Because the mission was completed after BEEP BEEP MOTHERFUCKER and the depressed AI. Are the other 5 just random events?

When you get out of the sim and Brigitte confronts you, you can choose to get your revenge and all the VDBs go hostile. Even has a Placide minibusses.
Is it possible this option isn't there if you side with the Netwatch guy? Could also be a bug, when I did the infiltration mission with Takemura the game just didn't make any of the guards hostile in the warehouse, all green.

>do the mission where you have to chase down the rogue taxis
>obviously I tried to cut the taxi off by driving in front of it
>since the driving AI in this game is nonexistent, the enemy AI bugs out and just stops in place, turning the wheel back and forth but never moving while I just shoot it to death

christ how did this game come out like this

this is off-putting, is v some kind of whore so everybody in this fucking town has his phone number lmao
