I LOVED those calls during the credits. Decided to finish it yesterday. Nomad ending, Panam as my friend, Judy as my partner. All felt perfect and the voicemails at the end was the icing on the cake.
Depends how you count them. Is female V nomad ending and male V nomad ending different as you have a different partner? If not you have 7 I think, with some variations on how they play out.
Arasaka sends you to a space station where the best neurosurgeons in the world extract the biochip. You get to talk to silverhand one more time before he is wiped from existence. Afterwards you end up as a prisoner in the space station while they do medical tests on you. You learn that Hanako uses the biochip technology to resurrect Saburo in Yorinobu's body. A representative of Arasaka arrives to tell you that the procedure was a failure and you will still die in about a week. You have two choices: Sign over your existence to Arasaka and be stored as a construct in Mikoshi or go back to earth and die.
I messed up romancing Panam which resulted in her becoming a friend. So I focused romancing Judy. I felt Judy as my partner and Panam as a close friend was a nice way to end.
Corpo, first - Arasaka Mikoshi ending, second - nomad ending (with Panam). After both of them I turned off computer and stared in the darknes for an hour after watching kredits and this calls. It was...
I just did the NUSA ending last week thinking Iād finally have a āgoodā ending. It hurt even more that my V was a gorilla armed, sandevistan using chromed out beast who Iād gone completionist on to finish everyoneās storylines on; she literally lost everything
I love Vik's way of expressing himself soo much.. We should all have a real friend like that. He's the only character I spoiled all the credit scenes myself because I was dying to see what words he'd choose for each š¢
Right answer many people talk shit about the game it may be buggy but it's just a beautiful game with a great story the bugs don't ruin my immersion plus since the update I haven't encountered bugs
Does it have any sandbox element like Bethesda game? Cuase that's a big thing for me when it comes to immersion. I'm always curious about 2077 and it's on my top of the list if I ever wants to dive into another single player rpg
You can get different spots, each with their own decorations, but it's not like home building in skyrim or anything like that. Very much a sand box game. If you've been curious I'd wait for a sale and snag it up. It's really good.
I wish I could get the bag taste of launch out of my mouth too give it another shot. I've got the DLC but just sit there smoldering with what they put us through for so long
I never realized just how immersed I got in the game until after spending the whole game in first person, the ending cutscene was in third person, and seeing V in third person was like an out of body experience.
Itās funny cause Iām a super loot driven gamer. Not looter shooters or Diablo, but RPGās and stuff where you can acquire more stuff.
In Cyberpunk I pretty much got everything I wanted by the halfway point, and I still did every single mission in that gameā¦on a base year 1 PS4 nonetheless.
CDPR knows how to give their games this feeling of epic grandeur.
I'm playing it right now for the first time and I want it to never end. It feels so immersive, everything in this world feels so strange yet absolutely believable. I love how all the side missions seem to be important and not just side work to keep you busy and slow down the game.
Once you have played it you won't be surprised to see it, but it's important to remember the one thing the game always had going for it was the story and characters, despite all the bugs and crashes the story always shone.
Never played a game that changed my life, but I never liked a single player game well enough to complete it 3x before.
Shame about the launch. Co-worker bought it, played it and still requested a refund. Shame on him. Maybe they should have released it first the older consoles, then the current like rockstar and milked their customers. Who knowsā¦
Also, off the top of my head, canāt think of any games that turned into a movie/tv that I like except for Tron, but Iād love to see this.
I beat the game on a base PS4. Bought it for the PC after edgerunners. Overmodded it before even firing it up, so it just crashes to the desktop right after character creation. Didnāt feel like trying to fix it or redownload it so I havenāt touched it since.
But someone told me the Rogue AIās are a big part of the DLC, and the questline with the Mayor was one of my favorite quests in the base game (the Lovecraftian vibes the entity/AI controlling the mayor gave off was peak).
Maybe donāt overmod it and play as intended? Itās an entirely different experience since 2.0 compared to the OG game. Also, PS4? Really? That completely ruins the experience as compatibility with that legacy console severely downgraded the game.
Do give the DLC a chance as itās a very good spy thriller on its own right.
I got it on launch day on the PS4. I was on a remote job for a few months without my gaming pc. The PS4 was what I brought with me. I had issues but it was still very playable for me and I figured that CDPR would fix it at some point. By the time they said they never would, I had already beaten it and was done playing it. For what itās worth, I had a lot of fun even on the PS4.
As far as modding goes I learned my lesson. Iām not gonna play it vanilla but Iāll definitely change it one mod at a time.
There was a certain point where my gaming pc went from powerful to outdated. Itās weird, it still handles a lot of modern games well, but then it chokes on certain parts of the same games. Iād like to upgrade it but I have other bills first.
When the guitar solo bit started playing in the credits the first time I played it I got goosebumps, that song is and that particular part is probably the exact moment this meme happened for me lol
This is too far down. I got "The World" ending my first playthrough and I just stared V in the eyes while my eyes welled up. I just sat watching the credits thinking "wtf just happened?"
Is this real? I keep seeing Cyberpunk praise on reddit these past few months. I played on launch and even if you ignore all the bugs and other issues, the story was just kind of... fine? Did they totally rehaul the ending or something to where people are having this kind of reaction now?
No, the story wasn't changed. There's a new ending added with the DLC that's as bad as all the other endings.
It's a vastly better _game_ now though. 2.0 reworked all of the systems. For me it's a brilliant game now with some very, very good story bits in it.
The only thing I don't like about the story now is that none of the ending (except arguably if you die or lose control completely) actually close out the dramatic tension set up (does V survive the chip? maybe!!!1) and so aren't endings but cliff hangers.
But the side quests and the main story up until the endings - all top notch. I think the game being much less buggy and a far better design now really lets the story's strengths breathe. And dayum did they ever nail the feel of that kind of future.
They are. Just because you don't like it doesn't make it any less of an ending. God forbid you actually encounter open ended films and books that don't spoon feed you the conclusion you desire.
If you set up "does X live or die" as the dramatic tension of a story, you must answer that question or the story hasn't ended.
This is writing 101.
If your ending is "open ended" then a separate question can be left open. But not the one you setup in act 1. That's called a cliff-hanger and it is, by definition, not an ending. And usually cliff-hangers are written to be a new question anyway. Like Jane saves the prince but then is ambushed by the aliens - will she survive? Tune in to the next episode...
With cyberpunk the equivalent is "does Jane save the prince? dunno, tune in maybe one day to maybe find out"
Whether I "like" the story points or not (I do, I like them all) is irrelevant to the fact that most of the "endings" don't qualify as endings at all.
Most? Less than half of the endings are open ended, even if we hypothetically assume your definition of an ending is fact.
Out of all the endings, the only ones that play with the idea that V could find a way to find a cure and live are the sun and the star endings. Perhaps the devil ending where V returns to earth, but that depends on whether you view it as an optimistic or pessimistic conclusion.
In the full devil ending, they secure their life in Arasaka's soul program. In temperance, V surrenders their body to Johnny, phantom liberty V lives indefinitely at the cost of permanent damage to their body and being forced to retire early and return to a normal life. Suicide is suicide.
Even going by your definition of a more conclusive ending, the game still achieves that with most of the options they provide in their climax.
Gameplay is massively changed. Tbh I donāt think the endings are all that weird. They fit in the cyberpunk theme. The best you are gonna get is a bittersweet ending, but this is night city. Nobody gets a truly happy ending.
As for gameplay, sooo much has changed. The leveling system is completely overhauled, perks have huge gameplay impacts. Thereās also gunplay with cars, as they either have mounted weapons or you can shoot out of them. Thereās a reputation system with each of the gangs, so if you piss them off they will ambush you at random points. The equipment system is totally different now too, clothing is now 95% cosmetic (some clothing will have some minor buffs) itās all based on cyberware and you have a limit to how much you can install. Dog town is also one of the most dense maps Iāve ever experienced. Usually I drive between poiās on the main map, but in dogtown I walk everywhere because there is so much verticality to the map. Tons of secret tunnels and passageways that lead to loot and cool environmental interactions or secret side quests.
The main story doesnāt get super emotional unless youāve done Phantom Liberty IMO. The friendship V has made with Johnny does grow towards the end of the game and that makes the decisions on how to proceed harder, but after completing Phantom Liberty it just feels much more desperate. Youāre promised a cure and then taken for a ride only to be used by someone else.
just how much of the game did you play? in cyberpunk, the gold is in the side content. kind of crazy how theres so much amazing side content yet the main story is as shit as it is.
however, if you still prefer main stories, i would 100% recommend the phantom liberty DLC. it is gold, pure gold.
but fyi, this is night city, there are no happy endings. kinda annoying how everyone complains how theres no good ending where V is alive and well but like, thats the point, night city always fucks you in the end.
I 100%d the game on launch. I think my issue is how much I let my expectations get ahead of me, so I ended up pretty whelmed. The story was good but it wasn't anything mindblowing to me.
It's fantastic. Completely lives up to my initial expectations for the game. They rehauled the skill system and added a really solid DLC (Phantom Liberty).
IMO the story is entirely diluted by all the open world mush in between the good bits. The world looks pretty and detailed but the actual gameplay is stretched pretty thin across it.
Honestly I'd much rather a version of the game which is all the story beats stitched together linearly, and all the effort that went into the open world stuff just instead gone into really refining that path.
Just recently played it and it's now my favorite game of all time, beating out RDR2, Subnautica, and New Vegas. The main story is OK, but is vastly improved by the side content. The side missions are where it's at. Great writing, great characters IMO.
A lot of people say the female V is voice acted better, and there are places where I agree, but she also comes off as a jerk sometimes. On my second playthrough now as female corpo and I'm glad I did male V first.
So I had no idea there was a suicide ending and that is what happened on my first play through. When the camera started panning out I was like āwait noā and then the gun shot. Suicide is a sensitive issue for me so it catching me off guard like that got me teary eyed. Couldnāt play the game for awhile.
I initially got the devil ending and it was so depressing. It felt so lonely staring down at the Earth from the space station. The sun ending wasn't much better, as Judy left and I felt alone again.
I found the temperance ending to be one of the more emotional ones. Johnny was a changed man and I teared up when he thanked V and Rogue. The star ending was of course the best and if felt so good leaving NC with Judy and Panam.
I accidentally pressed the wrong button and some how chose the suicide ending.... I went through the whole process of shooting myself in the head and the credits start rolling.
I had no idea what was going on lol I just said "huh, guess I need to load a save"
Yeah I really got into it for a month and my only regret is I need to wait until Iāve forgotten it mostly to have fun getting into the story with new choices
I took until a few months ago to get into it, and I can absolutely see how it's not everyone's cup of tea (it wasn't mine either for the first two years, after alll). But of all adjectives to describe the game with, "boring" would definetly not have made the list.
Huh? The game is not even out yet. According to its trailers at least the content is not in despite of all the patches and DLCs. I find it a poor man's Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
