New player, being somewhat confused about the NC overall situation

  • I am at the very beginning of the game, just spend my first night in V's apartment, and very much would like to know the setting a bit better
  • From what I gather on the way into the apt, I'm implied to be low on funds and the neighbourhood is supposed to be not quite thriving? I mean, my neighbours depicted as kinda marginal, they're poorly dressed and all, substance usage, cockroaches, rent overdue, poor sanitary conditions, etc. Yet, inside my apartment is nigh luxorious! I mean, it's like 40+ sqare meters, I do not yet know how Watson stands in a district structure of NC, but not entirely slum, I guess? Huge parking lot with tons of free space, my car is literally the only one on the floor. In 2025 it's well above average for sure. Is it that the future is actually BRIGHT in this game? Or should I suppose the demographic is in a long decline?
  • As I woke up, I went for a walk and first thing I saw was two police officers knocking on some poor soul's door. I didn't see any options that game was pushing me towards to, so naturally I just took both cops out, and then killed another couple civilians with a machete. People closest to me showed some indication of concern, but I probably expected a little more agitation. Whatever, I was short on time, so I just reloaded and went on to see a ripper doc. When I was on my way, I noticed some guy having a conversation who had a tiny skull icon upon his head. As I walked by, I took an effort to casually break his neck from behind and then continue my walk unbothered, I'm not sure anyone gave a damn including the person he was having a conversation with. Is that kind of thing common in NC? I mean, I saw a kill count 30 in the intro, and a quick googling told me that in today's, NY it's more like 1 murder a day, so I'd assume the answer is 'yes'. But then, was it someone important? If he was important, why would he just stand at the middle of an alley waiting to be killed? If not, why would he have a skull mark above him?

One of the greatest games I've ever played.

So I just completed idk my 12th playthrough? Honestly I've lost count. I've got Cyberpunk day one. Suffered through all the glitches and crashes with that first playthrough and somehow ended with arguably the best ending... leaving with Panam and Judy. I put it down and didn't really come back to it till Phantom Liberty dropped and since then I keep coming back again and again.

I've done everything you can possibly do in the game. I know everything inside and out and yet I cannot put this game down.

I'm writing this trying to think why this one game has impacted me so much. Cause frankly the only other games that have ever hit me on such a deep personal level like this have been, Max Payne, Resident Evil 4 OG, and The Last of Us.

First and foremost, the game is fun. Loads of fun. Second and third the characters and story draw you in. Personally I fell Corpo V is canon to me mostly cause I've worked a Corpo job in real life. Finally left it last summer and holy fuck as Jackie said, I got my life back. Lastly the music. The music in this game is phenomenal. Everything from the radio hits of Samurai to the haunting melancholy of HEALTH Major Crimes, to the original score that reminds me so much of 90s Anime.

The fact Phantom Liberty as a DLC could stand alone as it's own game is a testament to the writing. Even if I personally think the Tower Ending is the most depressing and worst ending in the game. I felt crushed. But hey thats good writing.

I'm going to end this rant but I think it's going to be a very very long time till another game comes around that is as special to me as Cyberpunk 2077.

Corpo V was probably raised to hate Johnny only for him to be the one they call out for when they’re scared

One must imagine a little Valerie or Vincent sitting in class scowling over the disgusting rockerboy, rolling their eyes over whatever fluff pieces Kerry pushed out to soften his image. Scoffing at the Samurai posters plastered to the walls all over the city, the gonks wearing faded or handmade Samurai shirts decades after the band dissolved. Girl V mortified that Silverhand is in her head calling her a JoyToy, thinking about whatever stories she’d been told about him. Boy V being mortified that Silverhand is in his head and called a JoyToy because he’s still being objectified by this asshole. That first night is hell, only for the next day Johnny calling a truce and vowing to help. V is everything he hated as an adult. To him, V is a spoiled brat.

All this only for V being willing to let Johnny borrow their body every now and then. V has to see Johnny relive the love and loss of Alt only for the dude to bitch when (fem)V gets with River. Johnny can’t even stand to be close by when she eats dinner with River’s family. She tells them that she wanted a family once. She’s only 27. There’s a chance that V probably believed she’d settle down at 30 and start her family then. She’s falling in love on borrowed time with this 40 year old ex-cop, but Johnny knows that v is stuck with him. The closest thing to a boys night out Johnny and (male) v will ever have is when Johnny takes the body to the strip club. Johnny has to watch V fall in love with Panam, who isn’t too different from Rogue, and see what it’s like to treat a woman well and how simple it can be, knowing that V is stuck with him anyway. V never would’ve imagined loving someone like Panam but by the time he has her, it’s too late.

In the same way that Johnny wonders if things would’ve been better had he been with Kerry, he’d probably do the same to keep V if they had their own bodies. Johnny is in Rogue’s past, Alt is code, and I just don’t think he’d actually commit to Kerry. But (any gender) V? Johnny would fight tooth and nail to keep them close. Johnny is a selfish, greedy man. After all of that, I do not think he’d let his V go. That’s his best friend. Just about everyone loves V and thanks to V, Johnny becomes a bit of a better person. V can live without Johnny, but Johnny can’t live without V because she is real and he is not. He will always haunt V.

If V gives Johnny the body, he still doesn’t get what he wants. He’s just in the body of the person he cared for and wanted to save. He can try and give V a family and a life they deserved, but he’s doing so without V. It’d be easier for him if it were Vincent, but I don’t think Johnny would do anything but be a rockstar in Valerie’s body.

I was diagnosed with brain cancer 2 years ago. Cyberpunk is all i've done since.

I was diagnosed with brain cancer. After that i decided to play games that were on my "bucket list". Cyber punk was the first on the list.

So here I am... 300 hours later, strangely relating to a thing in my head that is killing me and I'm on my 4th playthrough. I don't believe I'll finish the rest of my list but my time in Night City has been one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had.

No real point to to this post other than saying I love Night City so much, and I'm looking forward to entering the major leagues one day =P

Should I give him another chance?

Hi everyone, I hope you're all doing well.

I recently bought Cyberpunk again, but this would be the first time I've actually played it. I know it sounds weird, but let me explain.

I bought it in pre-release for the PS4 around Christmas and I was really excited at the time, but when I tried it, it was like a punch in the gut. The same old story: bugs, terrible performance, and all that.

Then I bought it for my first PC, and even though by then the bugs and most of the other issues had been fixed and patched, it still wasn't the best experience since my PC wasn't very powerful back then. And honestly, I think that contributed to me having quite a few bugs.

Now that I have Cyberpunk on my current PC, which is a decent build, I don't know if I should install and play it because I have a kind of distrust or a strong sense of disappointment because of what happened before. So I don't know if it's worth it.

So I'm asking you all: Should I? And has anyone else had the same experience?

The Police Dispatcher of Night City

There's a cop in the game who, whenever he can, flirts with and hits on the head of organized crime missions in Night City. I went to check out what this woman looks like... WOW... Now I understand him.

Fan of cyberpunk and recent player of MTG here, wanted to make my own fan made expansion and maybe some decks

(I don't own any of the images except the No-Tell Motel, that one I made on photo mode)

So yeah, created this fixer mechanic, still needs some tweaks. I plan on making a deck with fixers and mercs as a theme, and making a Voltron deck with David Martinez as a commander. Then a netrunning one maybe with Alt Cunningham as a commander and a corpo one with maybe Hanako, Saburo, or Adam Smasher as a commander idk yet but yeah.

PS: I'm really proud of my food tokens :3

The Suicide Ending’s Impact

I just finished my first playthrough with this ending because it felt so out of left field that my curiosity took hold immediately. That being said, out of all the games I’ve played, I’ve never felt the way I did hearing those voicemails. It surprised me overwhelmingly almost. It hits home because I’ve battled those kind of thoughts before and got better from it but hearing the pain in everyone’s reactions put it in a perspective I never had even when I was going through it. Judy specifically actually made me feel horrible for even choosing it and this has seriously been the most I’ve been immersed in the entire game. I never would’ve imagined feeling this way from playing this game the way it’s been going up to this point and I just have to say, this genuinely has been an eye opening experience for me. If you’ve gotten this ending, what impact did it have on you?

Ra-Ta-Ta-Ta Rebecca #edgerunners

Made a little song using cyberpunk2077 slang from the game and RPG. Edit is focused on Rebecca from Edgerunners TV program

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
when the sky turns red up above
I feel the beat in my veins, code red
I'm searching for love
Bring me free from the dead
Scroll a gonk and his chips don't lie,
Leave'em lying on the street like a corp bred samurai
Klep from the edge, Edge Runner scapin' from the A.I.

[Chorus]
When it goes (Ra-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta), my body is a weapon
(Ra-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta) Gato, we're chippin' in.
(Ra-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta) We're gonna make it happen
(Ra-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta) Be my joytoy put it in, in.

[verse 2]
I will push it like a solo
Gettin' verses, culture vulture
Nobody, body, stops my choombah
Like a millennial Roomba, we crash da serva
타가가르 Ta-ta-ga, moving
ta-ta-ga-ga (타가,타가)
Hun-hun-dul, 흔들리는
Hun-hun-dul, 흔들리는
ta-ta-ga-ga (타가,타가)
Hun-hun-dul, 흔들리는

[Verse 3]
(아게)
(아게) 미안해.
(아게) 두근 두근
(아게) 작은 악마를 버리지만 괜찮습니까?
눈동자에 비친
미소의 마법으로
함정에 유인

[Chorus]
When it goes (Ra-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta), my body is a weapon
(Ra-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta) Gato, we're chippin' in.
(Ra-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta) We're gonna make it happen
(Ra-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta) Be my joytoy put it in, in.

[Verse 4]
I will push it like a solo
Gettin' verses, culture vulture
Nobody, body, stops my choombah
Like a millennial Roomba, we crash da serva
I will push it like a solo
Gettin' verses, culture vulture

[drop]

[verse 5]
I got you sis, I got your flack
When the sky turns red up above
I wanna blow my stack
I stay for you, for our love

[drop]

[bridge]
I will push it like a solo
Gettin' verses, culture vulture
Nobody, body, stops my choombah
Like a millennial Roomba, we crash da serva

Build help

Is this a good build:

15 Body, 15 Reflexes, 20 tech ability, 16 intelligence and 15 cool?

My previous builds I never had Cool or reflexes really, wanted to try them out this time whilst still getting the other stuff.

I don’t really quick hack much, but on my previous build I went 20 intelligence, and didn’t really need it. Is 16 enough for skill checks and access ports?

Cyberpunk VR (Lukeross)

Does anyone know any good performance mods for Cyberpunk 2077 VR? I’m trying to optimize my playthrough as much as possible. Right now it’s pretty smooth. I’m playing in mono unfortunately, but it is what it is. I’m getting around 120 FPS with 30–60 ms.

My biggest problem, honestly, is the camera shake when I shoot. If anyone knows how to reduce camera shake, let me know. I already messed with the accessibility settings, added the Countermass mod, and installed a camera shake removal mod, but it’s still not fully reducing the shake when I shoot. Some mods only reduce certain effects and don’t remove everything, which might be what I’m dealing with.

If anyone knows how to fix this, let me know. Also, if you have any other advice on optimizing performance or mods that enhance the experience, I’d appreciate it.
