CD Projekt's Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.0 + Phantom Liberty Expansion Thread

[Crispy]

Claiming that V is canon to Cyberpunk is like claiming that Jaheira is canon to Dungeons & Dragons. The franchises were around a LOT longer than those characters were and to bring them into the argument is rather specious at best.

There aren't many CRPGs whose main characters really can be considered 'canon' if they're based on previous IP. Geralt is one, for example.

Now, their gender? Why is this even being discussed again?

Because of a misunderstanding. The original point wasn't about V's gender being canon. That was a mistake made by another. The point is that one gender is now basically unpersoned by cdpr.

I don't know if Potato is being naive or disingenuous. Fem V was ALWAYS in promos and advertisements, even at the beginning. It was less than Male V obviously, but she did get her spotlight.

Now we have the opposite, but at such an extreme I find it a bit disturbing.

Reddit already rewrote the past to say female V is getting her time in the limelight after male V hogged it for so long, and that it's not happening, but it's good that it's happening because male V is a generic white guy. It's over.

You're seeing things where there simply aren't any. Neither V is canon.

...for now. With these industry trends & CDPR's behavior on the topic at hand there is a good chance for them to make fem V canon in the sequel.

I play AC games to waste time and don't care about the story much but it was still annoying seeing Kassandra show up in a questline as the canon Eagle Bearer instead of Alexios who was my PC. Not that V would show up in a sequel but when it comes up in a convo or something they might refer to V as she/her...oh fuck they could just refer to V as "them" lmao

Bioware tried the same with female Shepard. Pushing her while most players preferred the male one.
So this is just another step of CDPR following Bioware. And we all know where that path leads.

Soon we will get the CDPR's ME:A.

I can't stand Male V's accent.

Male V <3

And spending his last 6 months of life with Panam and the Aldecaldos is the true canon <3

Also, his voice actor is a true gamer who played the game from beginning to end.
Female V voice actress is too busy breastfeeding.

Male V wins xoxo

Yes! I got this ending first and although I tried most other ones, I think this one is without a doubt the best one. V gets to live the rest of his life with a woman he loves and surrounded by friends.

The Afterlife ending is second, it also has a bit of poetry in it, but V dumps Panam/Judy and teams up with this asshole Mr. Blue Eyes, which spoils it for me.

Also, his voice actor is a true gamer who played the game from beginning to end.

In Polish male V voice actor is also very good. Didn't spend much time with female V though (yet).

Wow so he's a real gamer™, just like us?
I don't give a shit what a voice actor does in his spare time in real life and neither should you.

Counterpoint female V's voice actress is hot.

I don't have much of an opinion on female V VO other than on videos hearing her deliver every line so presumptuously... I don't know how anyone can endure listening to her for more than 15 secs

Most people here would describe me as furthest from the blind chauvinist polish patriot stereotype, but i have to say that cyberpunk and its DLC which i've recently played is still more enjoyable than western slop like ubigames, the last of us, and other western big action games. You could say that it's due to using established already made lore, instead of innovating something new, but we all know how many games based on some books or other piece of fiction came out as mediocre or downright shit. Despite absolutely annoying and atrocious characters like Reed and Alex, the silly "presidentwoman", the Songbird character actually made sense, her actions and morality. I enjoyed the story and the ending was actually quite surprising. Even though the DLC added some new feats, the combat stay the same boring number munching on bullet sponges, or just use revolver with high crit and pistolero build and headshot everyone[which i did]. Don't get discouraged due to shitty beginning, the president slop part will end and you will get rewarded with nice fight at the end. It actually shows how uneven this game is, where some parts were really well designed not only graphically but gameplay wise, while some others were pretty sloppy, which shows with models and textures not being on par. What im really missing, is the high corporate culture quests and scenarios, where you actually don't use as much as your muscles, but that's maybe a chance for an arasaka oriented spinoff, maybe some corporate detective game in cyberpunk setting? Or a specops soldier team doing some nice missions in second chinese civil war? Or cyberpunk soviet edition and cold war 2.0 against or with sovoil in LATAM?

wait no longer, this spinoff is already here:

It's got quality cutscenes:

It's got action:

It's got infiltrating:

It's got jumping!

And most importantly, hacking!

Finally, judging from the title, it also has plotting!

Available on you cellphone with Java!

Our most dedicated netrunners have gained access to the infamous Night City Archives Check out the first file, which uncovers the expansive history of Night City and recaps its most crucial events!

Very interesting they are making this campaign of videos now.

This is the kind of videos you make during early development to get to know your project.

 

[Perkel]

played a bit with various builds and yeah... build diversity is killed in 2.0. You are mega railoaded into specific build dev wanted and going outside of it barely works.

What is left uses retarded "+something on tuesday night and sunday morning" type of buffs most of the time for those which matter.

Yeah, she's cute They both sound really similar to me though, I wouldn't call either of the VA's better or worse.

 

[Konjad]

I watched this anime and I thought it's mediocre at best, and has retarded ending.

Music was great though.

Come to think of it, that's exactly like Cyberpunk 2077!

I wouldn't recommend watching it, unless you're bored, I just watched it sick with flu, feeling too bad to play anything.
