Cyberpunk DLC (hexbear.net)
submitted 1 year ago by Parsani@hexbear.net to c/games@hexbear.net

Did they fire the original writing staff and hire some dudes from reddit to write this? Not that the base game had the best writing, but after an hour of playing the DLC there have been multiple instances of lines that seem to be terminally infected by the Gamer Mind Virus. Hearing V say "amazeballs" made me want to die.

Also, fuck having to save the president. Lame mission tbh.

I had fun with the gameplay of the base game, but it is boggling they have a cyberpunk game called Cyberpunk and there's almost no cyberpunk in any of the narrative.

a youtuber i watched occasionally put it pretty well, "some cyber, no punk"

i thought the punk in cpunk2077 was when johnny silverhand tried to raid arasaka (but failed of course)

The most leftist thing in the entire plot is shortsighted adventurism by the embodiment of a boomer's idea of an anarchist, and that's the most scathing condemnation I can make of the game utterly missing the point of the genre.

The original game introduces the Keanu Reaves cameo by having the player go le epic john wick right after a cutscene where he put a feeemale in her place.

This game was always written by redditors. At least amazeballs is so harmless it's almost cute.

watched the new ending they added on youtube and gotta say, it's honestly pretty funny:

spoileryou do a job for the cyber cia and they remove the relic, you're in a coma for 2 years, lose everyone and you can't use cool implants anymore. you go back to night city and everyone has both literally and figuratively moved on. in the end you become a face in the crowd, a literal npc, and the cia-man phones you up and asks if you wanna join the feds to do some pencil pushing in the credits
i'll keep saying that raiding the tower with Johnny is the best ending emilie-shrug

anyway the ukrainian localisation apparentely pokes fun at russians and praises ukraine which seems to be par for the course for poland-cool.

edit: lmao "CD Projekt apologise for Cyberpunk 2077 Ukrainian script's potentially "offensive" references to Russians " pathetic atleast stand by your shit, you polish fucks

"Juxtaposed are the Ukrainian coat of arms and taraq tamga (the symbol of Crimean Tatars)." The suggestion is that in Cyberpunk 2077’s world, Crimea is part of Ukraine.

In the world of Cyberpunk, the USSR still exists. Good fact-checking, whoever wrote this.

I'm not gonna look up the ending just yet, so thanks for the spoiler tag.

i'll keep saying that raiding the tower with Johnny is the best ending

I did this but then

spoilerI gave my body to Johnny and had to do the stupid quest giving that kid a guitar. I wanted to see behind the Blackwall or whatever, but no, time for the most boring quest possible. I've always meant to re do it and choose the other option, but just couldn't be bothered.

[-] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

concerning your spoilerif you excise johnny you get the "Sun" ending, you have all the money, you own Afterlife now and the game ends with you starting a heist on the space station casino. you do only have 6 months to live, and i think all your romances end because you're too focused on trying to fix the relic issue, but eh.

The anime was good, at least.

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

Edgerunners was so good it gaslit people into thinking 2077 was a good game.

Yeah I enjoyed it but I'm not a big anime fan

[-] Discopanda@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

Is there something more cyberpunk than being a cop? What a pile of dogshit.

[-] Yurt_Owl@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

I refunded after about half an hour. Game still buggy as shit jankfest that just feels bad to play. Performance sucks along with muddy blurred visuals with constant artifacts in motion.

So much marketing around this and its the same exact crap i played at release.

Hey at least they fixed the cops i guess.

[-] Aryuproudomenowdaddy@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago

I stand firm in my conviction that I was completely justified never thinking about this game again after finishing the main story.

[-] Alunyanners@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 1 year ago

Hearing V say “amazeballs” made me want to die.

I get that "amazeballs" might come off as cringy, but doesn't CPunk77 take place in the far future? I feel like memey words like that would be normal in the English Lexicon of that time. I mean, words like Yeet, S-mp, Rizz, Based and other zoomer words (hell even the word "Zoomer" itself) started off as memes but because they're so widely used they're becoming part of the dictionary.

[-] Parsani@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago

Seeing as it's basically a word from like 2005, that would be like using slang from 1951 today

[-] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago

That's pretty fuckin swell

[-] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

this cool cat is achin’ for a breakin’, see. giving me a big tickle somethin' fierce.

[-] Alunyanners@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 1 year ago

Oh. Nevermind then.

You're surprised that this game has poor writing?
