Cyberpunk - CD Project Red

I'm fairly sure i tried to look around but the camera would only go to the side. Then when i could spin it around, he was gone.

Straight after though, i headed into the basketball court and was beaming to find that not only could i interact with the ball, i could skill check to make a shot 😁

With this patch you’ll be able to express yourself like never before — it includes over 100 new customization options for V, adds CrystalCoat™ compatibility for select vehicle brands, introduces a brand-new TWINTONE™ color scheme feature for CrystalCoat™-compatible vehicles, and more! Photo Mode also received a major overhaul with new camera options, aspect ratios, light sources and posable NPCs, just to name a few things!

Did it ever become good on the PS4? I know that version got particularly bad criticism when it first came off due to its performance so never bothered picking it up as don’t have a PS5

Top to bottom, You Know My Name mission was class. That Lizzie performance was unreal, had to get front row and watch the whole thing.

The new custom paint jobs are a nice touch, got an Edge Runners theme going on..

Finished Phantom Liberty, Jesus, just incredible. I got the King of Cups ending and absolute emotional gut punch. I looked up other endings and there's only 1 other one I'd like to experience but i really like the fact how they are all flawed yet really impactful, shows the strength of the writing for an the new characters.

Now, back to Embers to go for the ending with Johnny as I have 85% sync with him so should get that secret ending option.

About 10 hours in at this point, further than where I would have gotten previously. Enjoying it a good bit more, I think because I'm trying to be less computer hacky and more body hacky, though computer hacking is still a vital part of the game with regards cameras, turrets etc, so I'll probably have to start throwing a few points into it soon.

Still some parts I'm not really liking; a lot of things still poorly explained and I think I've gotten to where I am through my previous failed attempts at getting into the game. Plus the car combat is just annoying, especially when you're just driving and a gang starts attacking you. I either just try to lose them or get out of the car. Also not a fan of how often people text/ring you. I spent what felt like a minute waiting on some dude's 7 or 8 texts to come through because there was so much superfluous writing and details in it. I get it's world and character building, but just a bit overdone.

Still though, going to see this playthrough through, and have downloaded the DLC too so will check out when's best to do it.

Yeah i relied on hacking purely to disable cameras. Sandevistan (sp) is the cyberware that makes you invisible, might suit you instead if you want to keep an eye out for it.

I was tempted on full hacking build on next playthrough but I'm finding hard moving on to other games so i made the right decision to uninstall and come back to it another time.

Also, personal preference, but i find the the missions much more enjoyable when i agree (mostly) with Johnny. Becomes much less annoying in quests and comes out with good ideas about the current mission. Also, when you get a chance to give him full control of your body for a mission, do it, it's mental 😂

Edit: sandy actually makes you slow time so you can dash around slicing up a group of enemies before they know what's even happening but you can't use any hacking tools with it. The invisibility cloak is an item you can equip like a grenade.

I hope whoever came up with idea of creating a gig based on this story got all the eddies.

Just bought this now with the intention to start once I've finished up GT7. Haven't played it before, so any advice to a total newbie before I dive in?

Don't get caught up on ncpd scanner jobs. Complete gigs as you come across them (when you get near them on the map, you'll get a call about a job), you can come back to them later and even leave them for end game but they are quick fun missions, help level up and unlock rewards for clearing a set belonging to a specific fixer.

Other than that, just let yourself soak into the game and the city. The prologue will take you through the basics. Enjoy!

Don't worry too much about what origin or attributes to pick at the start. The origin mostly just throws up different dialogue options during the game with different characters. As for the attributes, after the short prologue you can do training exercises for both hacking and combat, so you'll have a better idea what you want to specialise in after that. You can do a full respec later if you want. Generally though, if you want to do cool hacking stuff (to the point of being able to hack enemies to shoot themselves, have cars run them over etc), spec into Intelligence and Technical. If you want to do cool ninja stuff (slow down time, throw knives, move like a ninja), spec into Reflexes and the aptly-named Cool.

Only big advice I'd give after that that others haven't mentioned, is just to sell all looted weapons. Loot enemies after killing them and sell their weapons (unless they're a lot better than your own, obviously). By far the easiest and quickest way to make money, especially when doing side missions etc like other said above. Similar to most RPGs really, being a loot-goblin really pays off.

Re a complete hacker build - I know all builds become very powerful eventually but hacker is just so powerful it gets a bit boring. You can take out an entire building without setting foot in it. I did a full hacker/Corpo female V build, it was very cool until as I said, I got to the stage that I was so strong.

Also thinking of starting a new playthrough, my fourth I think! Never did Nomad/Gun build so probably go that route but I find it very hard to stray from a Katana/Street Female V build

At what point do the main game is the best time to segway into phantom liberty?

It does feel really cool to use alright. And after all, isn't that the point of Cyberpunk? Being really f*cking cool.

Where on Earth was she going? Haha!
