"Cyberpunk 2077" (New DLC "Phantom Liberty" | (9/26)

[SilverSamurai]

I knew they weren't gonna do NG+ so I got the mod months ago

New Game Plus - Native

Play through Cyberpunk 2077 again with top-tier gear. Start a new game from the beginning of V's story or fast-track to your first meeting with Johnny Silverhand.

Everything in these updates is just bonus shyt to me.

Thats really the only other update i need to make this game perfect.
Give jackie another quest chain before he dies.

But when you think about it, his quest chain with the arasaka tower mission is as long as all the other main character quest chains. You do a parade mission quest chain with Takemura, that's similar length

The aldecado quest chain is around the same length too.

Judys doll quest chain is actually shorter.

It seems like you spend more time with them because they all also have a followup romance/friend quest afterwards

But technically he has one too, its just his funeral.

Its the fact that his came first and its very long game that makes you want an extra mission or two.

Should be much more of the starting process after the origin story, showing V going from the bottom to where they were at the start of the game. It is already established (especially with the montage) that V and Jackie are experienced mercenaries, but even after all of that V has no real cyberware until Viktor hooks them up? That should of been something that happened when they were first starting out, not where we start.

Oh, i get what you mean now. Yeah and make that process unique to your character class, (nomad, street kid or corpo) would also be cool.

Also in one of the OG trailers it actually shows the Dexter Deshawn stuff play out and V has mantis blades in the cutscene. At that point they are a fairly established merc with their own apartment and car, which feels like a lvl 25-30 or so character with a basic build but in the game you're more around level 10-15 with no advanced cyberware. I think they wanted to get Johnny into the game sooner so they fast forwarded that part of V's story



on another note, I also think that the V we play as for the majority of the game is actually

Spoiler

a rogue AI, or at the very least, a construct.

Human V died when Dex shot him. The biochip then used his corpse to activate and the boot up sequence we see is very similar to that of a machine loading memory. V can also navigate deep cyberspace and go beyond the blackwall with relative ease, regardless of whether they are a netrunner or not, whereas even the Voodoo Boyz considered this a tremendous undertaking. V also cannot develop cyberpsychosis despite the fact that a maxed out V is literally Adam Smasher/Songbird tier and godlike in that universe, capable of soloing arasaka tower.

Songbird is able to contact V via backdooring the chip itself and even upgrade its capabilities, and if you meet her before Anders Hellman, you can tell him this and V theorizes what if a rogue AI could somehow hack the chip? I think V will play in Act 2-3 could actually be a rouge AI that doesn't even know it's an AI.

The most ominous clue to this is that In Phantom Liberty when you're running from the AI bot on the scary shyt, the terminals where it talks to you also says "You don't even know what you are"

Also Mr. Blue Eyes being tied to rogue AI's in space (also seen in songbirds killing moon ending and Peralez questline) and also at the end of the Sun ending implying that V could have more than he could ever imagine if he pulls off the impossible job

They finally added FSR4? I was using the mod that forces FSR4 into the game. I was literally at the last mission then stopped playing for a few months.

I just bought on PC and started my first modded playthrough.

Random patch bout to brick my save

I used to want NG+ but having just replayed this, it would totally break the game. A lot of the encounters/missions are clearly designed for a more basic character and would be stupid easy with advanced stealth or combat options at your disposal, even with enemy scaling. You can't even get legit cyberwear until after the heist so NG+ with a maxed out V would make the whole first half of the game a cakewalk. If you make a halfway decent build, you're already smacking the shyt out of everybody that isn't MaxTac by the time you're level 30

I just beat Don't Fear the Reaper on hard with a silenced tech pistol and sword...Brick and those maelstrom would get wiped out with a single Legendary Contagion + Overheat combo let alone if I pulled out a single weapon

Yeah, I get where brehs are coming from, but by the time you reach the end of the game, V is a walking nuke. Rebalancing the game to account for having that level of power from the start of a NG+ run would require work that I'd rather be spent on getting the sequel up and running before sometime in 2035 or some shyt.

Either way, VRR on the Pro is all the reason I needed to start yet another run.

They keep adding more weirdos to these update videos.

They gotta do something about that cokehead host. Cac tweaking like he cliqued up with Maelstrom.

Did they add anything this time worth breaking the established mods for?

 

[YakSpiller]

I FINALLY beat this game today. Took me 4.5 years. Started my playthrough in 2021.
I think I would have enjoyed it way more if there was an option for 3rd person. I just can't get into 1st person games outside of COD idk why.

I tried to play this but I really can’t do 1st person.

I’m planning on revisiting it and finishing it before GOY comes out.

That's what makes NG+ so much fun. The 2nd playthrough with all your abilities & money is always more enjoyable. The Mass Effect series wouldn't have been nearly as great if it didn't have NG+.

The original plan actually had you doing plenty of missions with Jackie. When covid hit and all that development fukkery happened they scrapped parts of the beginning.

Each Lifepath was supposed to have a more immersive intro. They also had way different game play mechanics with the mantis blades and spider bot. All that got scrapped when they kept pushing the release date back and couldn't get everything in.

Ive been doing NCPD Missions to gather EDs and I love the Stories The Readables tell when you're Done Choppin em up

This is a good point and I never thought about this. The stories are good

Yeah I'm reading these posts like wtf are these dudes talking about rebalance? I just want to dog walk shyt from start to finish. How hard is it to just carry over stats and equipment? Who plays New Game+ expecting some kind of challenge?

 

[Voice of Reason]

Thinking about getting this on Mac

 

[The Fukin Prophecy]

I heard they finally added Delamain taxi service...

Wild it took this long for that but glad they did it...Hopefully next they add that flying vehicle from one of the end games...
