Cyberpunk 2077 (No Spoilers) Discussion Thread

Thankfully I have the Series X, so it still runs and looks beautifully even without these extra bells and whistles.

CDPR have also made the ground a lot more reflective at night (between 10PM and 2AM) and in the rain with version 1.62.

It is very noticeable with ray-traced reflections enabled.

Phantom Liberty is a new spy-thriller adventure for Cyberpunk 2077. When the orbital shuttle of the President of the New United States of America is shot down over the deadliest district of Night City, there’s only one person who can save her — you. Become V, a cyberpunk for hire, and dive deep into a tangled web of espionage and political intrigue, unraveling a story that connects the highest echelons of power with the brutal world of black-market mercenaries.

Infiltrate Dogtown, a city-within-a-city run by a trigger-happy militia and ruled by a leader with an iron fist. With the help of NUSA sleeper agent Solomon Reed (Idris Elba) and the support of Johnny Silverhand (Keanu Reeves), unravel a web of shattered loyalties and use your every skill to survive in a fractured world of desperate hustlers, shadowy netrunners, and ruthless mercenaries. Built with the power of next-gen hardware in mind, Phantom Liberty offers brand-new gameplay mechanics, nail-biting courier jobs, gigs, and missions — and a thrilling main quest where freedom and loyalty always come at a price.

I’m very curious to see how the attribute and perk tree reworks will be. And what the new cyberware will be and how that’ll impact us (read somewhere if we equip too much we might experience cyberpsychosis). Basically everything in the game is being changed, the expansion and 1.7 making it Cyberpunk 2077 2.0!

Also glad to hear them confirm there can be a new ending for the game depending on how we complete Phantom Liberty.

I was hoping for an overhaul of the base game and that's what we're getting. Pretty damn excited.

A new ending huh.
Given the awful current selection that is definitely a draw.
Still would need proof that it is not more of the same trash before reinvesting.

Everything
Particularly galling is the lazy simplistic inappropriate mechanics which lead to railroaded forced character presentation.

This makes no sense. Please explain what you are talking about.

You are right in that the epilogue doesn’t assume things since it’s obvious when you choose that one. The Star ending for me really didn’t fit the tone of the rest of the game or the cyberpunk genre. It has things I like, like V getting to talk to Alt alone, but overall it’s my least favorite.
Plus on a personal note it (and really the entire Nomad quest line) was not friendly towards my pacifist/non-lethal V.
