where you can forcibly transition keanu reeves into being a hot bimbo if you play as fem v.
best ending ever. was even a bit of a tear jerker.
I thought the game did a pretty good job of showing cops as a gang just like any other in Night City. Of the two cops you work with, one has a questline about the cops being shitty and negligent, and the other is a just fixer who sends you off to do illegal shit like all the other fixers, independent of the police.
Also the cyberpsycho missions were fun, what with the trying to nonlethally arrest super-powered mentally ill criminals to get them help before the NCPD comes in to straight up murder them.
the other is a just fixer who sends you off to do illegal shit like all the other fixers
Was she even a cop? I thought she was a journalist turned fixer.
Damn your probably right and idk where I even got cop from.
River is pretty cool though.
there was a cop from the southeastern region that was a fixer for sure, some guy idr name
Punk is when you assist the police and the more you assist the police, the more punk it is.
Thats kind of the point, they're so (deliberately) underfunded they have to farm out jobs to subcontractors which boil down to "vigilante goes to place, murders a bunch of people".
Interestingly in that ending if you're femV he says something like "I won't be a woman for much longer," so I assume he's going to get gender affirming surgery. I wonder if he'd make himself look like his original body or just genderswaped V?
Lots of valid criticism of 2077, especially it's total lack of commitment to any anticapitalist punk ethos, but I liked it anyway.
I couldn't get through the game. Story seemed interesting, but the combat and gameplay was super boring to me.
I rarely like open world games though, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Did waste all the money I spent on it though 🏴☠️ 🏴☠️
idk i found running around being a bimbo in time dilation with a katana to be fun as hell
i spent a good 60 hours on it. did all the little side missions. main quest is definitely very short feeling though
Cyberpunk 2077 is, imo, a really good open world shooter with a great world and atmosphere if you view it on its own merits. Too bad CDPR spent all that time and money hyping it up as the next coming of RPGs as well.
My main critique of it is
spoiler
that while it criticizes capitalism as brutal and cruel, it ultimately offers and shows no alternatives whatsoever. Infact, the act of opposing capitalism is depicted as futile and suicidal, which I feel is its own kind of "both sides" - capitalism sucks, but so does opposing it, so why bother?
That's the whole cyberpunk genre though, it's political messaging is meant to function as a cautionary tale rather than revolutionary optimism.
as a cautionary tale
Judging by the bazinga billionaires out there right now and what they're financing and what they claim was the inspiration for it all, that intention has by and large been a failure.
The Soylent douche also comes to mind. He's a full blown PUA creep and has had grand side projects like trying to make drinking water and SLEEPING obsolete.
yeah they chucked in some anti-soviet brainworms in some quests too. one guy was derided as a nutjob for wanting to go to the soviet union (which is capitalist apparently) to get a full body replacement in cybernetics for MLS so he wont be immobile for the rest of his life. reason was apparently they just put your brain into a killdozer or some shit and youre forced to work in a mine to pay off your own equipment
installed it just today. It got a new patch today so lets check out how FSR 2.1 works
I was pretty disappointed to come back to it from launch and it have lots of the same issues. Stealth takedowns into containers still fucks with drops, I got stuck in this one building I couldn't get out of, audio and scripting issues, etc. I couldn't even get into the combat on hard due to bullet sponginess while anything lower was too easy, and ended up getting a locational damage mod to make it more rewarding. That said, it's an ok game that I reached 60 hours in between my first attempt to get into it and this one, and I'll probably complete it. I just don't see myself returning.
