Oh, right. I seem to remember it’s because they got flak for too many “male gaze” shots of female V’s butt or something.
When will the males stop gazing??
When our testosterone starts dropping.
I don’t know, man. My dad definitely had his preferred hospice nurse.
That was the reason, right? I mean, were they as shameless as the cutscenes at the beginning of ME 2, with Miranda in a catsuit? I think I only saw them once (the Cyberpunk ones, that is).
There may have been complaints, but I think they were just normal Twitter noise. I believe the real reason was they just realized it was going to be too hard to do and would result in goofy camera angles and broken player animations considering how small some of the environments are where scenes take place.

I honestly think it was for immersion.
Because it’s not the case that the cutscenes are all first person. There’s one (and I think only one) circumstance where it switches to third person: all the endings, and the switch happens the moment you make the last input and no longer have control of the character. It seems very intentional, and being pulled out like that after 50 hours of immersion made for a pretty striking effect.
Meh. Give me a Blood and Wine level DLC for free and we can start talking about me ever giving these people another cent of my money. I didn’t even find Cyberpunk to be an egregiously bad game, what was egregious was how much they lied about what it was going to be.
Who even cares about bug patches at this point? Didn’t we all uninstall this ages ago? I’ve only got 2 tb of SSD space and I know I’m in the minority to even have that, and even I can’t be bothered to clog it up with mediocrity.
Eh, I might be interested to give this game a second playthrough once it becomes a game instead of a gallery of fascinating bugs.
Do people still call you during important story conversations forcing you to have two conversations at the same time? Do cars still have no pathfinding? Does a quarter of all skills still don’t work? Is it still balanced in such a way that my pure melee-focused dude is most effective when weilding a common sniper rifle? If I’ll go to that taxi mission will I be able to tell which “AI glitch” behavior is a glitch and which is your usual honest bug? Does animation still break during fully controlled isolated cutscenes where nothing interferes with characters? If all of this isn’t fixed they can add the greatest content on Earth and it would still be bad.
Both of these are specifically addressed in the patch notes. The others, doesn’t seem like it, but they do claim to have made balancing changes.
I put over 160 hours in the game on release, so there’s not much luring me back for another go-round. I liked the basic shooter stuff and the environments, but story wise, and progression wise, I’m not sure there’s much variety left after rolling through with one hack focused and one gun focused character. But if they continue to add stuff and fix stuff, might be worth it by the one-year anniversary maybe.

Seems unlikely since you can undress her down to her birthday suit and ogle her all you want in the inventory screen.
Started the game up post-patch. Got a text message from someone informing me of the new free clothing in my home closet. Okay. So far, so good.
Went into a side mission to kill some executive in an apartment building. Entered through a window to sneak in. Saw the target and a conversation with her started up. I was crouched. Trying to un-crouch skipped dialogue, so I remained crouched like an idiot for the rest of the dialogue. Shot her. Left the building.
Looked at my minimap and big map. The last five vehicles I had used were now icons on my map. Called a new vehicle. Now there were six vehicle icons on the map. Why?
This was always there. Lots of important conversations I had in this game put my vis-a-vis in a domineering position because I couldn’t stand up.
Oh, I know. Believe me. I spent many a conversation crouched too. I was just hoping they’d done something about it.
They’ve done the impossible with patching zoomed-out mini-map after 9 months of development, and it’s not enough for you. You want them to do what gods are unable to do.

Hmmm, it seems 1.3 bugged mantis blades too. Or at least the hit box is broken. Prepatch, you could hit at a (seeming) arm’s length distance, but now you have to so close that V is trying to look at the seams in their clothing.

what are you talking about? I do that all the time in the office IRL.
Something else, why is it called NightCity when all random CP2077 videos on YT that I watch are always in bright daylight? Is the whole game that way?
I am looking into buying the game, for some cyberpunk fix.
I went ahead and bit on the Xbone version since I have a Series X because it was on sale at Best Buy for $10 US, so I can see what the fuss is about.
