Cyberpunk 2077 is finished, I got the "Things Done Changed" for my V. He was a star which shone too bright and was due to be snuffed out because the only way to fix what was killing him would end his career as an Edgerunner. Totally fine in my opinion because becoming a face in the crowd isn't a curse which he is burdened with, he has a second chance to find happiness. Sure, V is not as strong as he was; now he will have to run away from gunfire instead of towards like before. He can start fresh at least and find purpose out there in Night City somewhere.

Despite that, I still wondered what would happen if V ever did get a chance to become an Edgerunner again; Get himself tangled up in dangerous biz which only a clever person could hope to extricate themselves from. The ending of this game got me thinking about how that could happen, almost interested in writing a brief or long adventure about it using the Cyberpunk TTRPG source material and Cyberpunk 2077 as inspiration. I thought of a brief scenario and shared it on Mastodon but...I don't think I will bore anyone on here with my ideas.

PC seems to have gotten a better deal in that regard it seems! I do wish they would address the console issue of occasional crashes though, but I am happy you are having an smooth game experience.

If they would have released this current version instead of the shitty release that we got at first...That would've been better in my opinion and I could've easily lived with a stable, fun game. We never were going to get a 1 to 1 trailer version of Cyberpunk 2077; I made peace with that after learning the misleading nature of trailers in general long ago (personally find trailers should be honest). It's close but not 100% there.

As for my enjoyment being taken away, you couldn't have if you tried! It was just a strongly worded response to my own post. You didn't do what most people would do and devolve into slurs or other demeaning statements used on those who have contrasting opinions.

You certainly live up to your username. ROFL Shilling for a corporation is a move which is never in one's best interest! We should always speak honestly about games and the corpos who made said games. Cyberpunk 2077 will never be the release trailer, as game trailers have a history of being dishonest. It certainly wasn't at launch because Cyberpunk 2077 was a broken fucking mess. The dev team did try their best to make good on some of the promises, but not all of them. I do speak honestly that I do enjoy Cyberpunk 2077 in its current state, but I also acknowledge that it wasn't the game we were originally promised.

Overall, I find the full version of Cyberpunk 2077 a hell of a lot more satisfying than when it initially released in a broken state! If you are playing on Xbox Series S or X, there are occasional crashes but autosaving mostly makes it so only a few seconds to minutes is lost. As for the PC version, I cannot say what state Cyberpunk 2077 is on Steam/GOG. I agree that it's better to work on the games you have ahead in your to be played queue!

Personally, I am having fun with the game in its current state. The release version was so shitty, and I posted some spicy responses about Cyberpunk 2077 on release day. Shilling for corporations isn't my vibe, plus fanboys will shill for free because they have rose-tinted glasses on. They hope that all the positive press will give them more of a thing they like. I would prefer a game which is in a stable state and is content rich. Cyberpunk 2077 got there in the end, despite the stupid executives over the dev team almost sunk this game with their poor decision to release in a broken fucking state!

 

I've gotten back into Cyberpunk 2077; This game went from a disaster to becoming the version which should have been released! So many systems reworked, being able to ride the Metro in cinematic style, and the new story of Phantom Liberty makes this game great. It's still disappointing that the pool of romanceable characters is so small, with only one gay man in the entire line up. At least the other parts of Cyberpunk 2077 are so much stronger, like the lore about the Cyberpunk universe; talking about the game makes me want to continue my Phantom Liberty play session!

ROFL The Onion saves the day with hilarious satire, as the news is fucking grim with a mix of hope. https://www.theonion.com/crying-man-refuses-to-take-boner-pills-unless-they-stra-1851454962 #TheOnion #Satire

 

A dark, but delightful The Onion satire post! It's giving Midwestern vibes and gross, absolutely perfect to me! https://www.theonion.com/mall-still-hasn-t-removed-rotting-santa-claus-1851423144

 

Ah, The Onion is wonderfully on the mark with this satire post once again! The smell of piping hot satire in the morning wakes me up. https://www.theonion.com/walmart-baby-registry-questionnaire-includes-checkbox-f-1851416496

 

I honestly feel that Life by You is going to be a banger...Yeah, it's experienced several early access delays. However, I think the approach Rod Humble is taking with this game is a mature and intriguing one. I am absolutely stoked about this game! https://www.gamesradar.com/unlike-the-sims-life-by-you-is-absolutely-pro-nudity/

Ah, telling on themselves in a way which is easily made viral, nice!

Currently, the only way you can play V Rising Offline is by putting the Steam Client in Offline mode.

sigh Well, it shows they learned absolutely nothing about their misstep with Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League game. J.B. Perrette and the executives meddled with this game and soiled it due to their rampant greed; if only they'd left the developers who were passionate about this project just work their magic. There are so many games in the mobile and free-to-play markets it's not likely any of WB's trash will get much traction there either.

An offline mode is the only way I'd consider buying and playing Nightingale; I do love survival games, but I need them to be offline adventures balanced for single-player experiences! As an introvert the last thing I want to do is encounter another person in a game.

This will make any corpo stooge wet themselves with joy, however, as a consumer I'm repulsed by the idea! I don't want an entertainment universe, just awesome games to play; Preferably games that's single player, no microtransactions, and zero live service elements (that is becoming a gradual impossibility). As a consumer, I now know the companies to avoid buying products from.

@mike591 I'm excited for this game because they've built up a lot of sensible gameplay elements so early on in development. The social system seems more interesting than The Sims 4, where you could become best friends and marry someone on the same day you met them (I've done this so often, even with conflicting personality traits). It takes both time and effort to befriend the other Paras! That is what I desire from a social sim, investing time into creating the story for my character and having that time feel meaningful.

 

I've been enjoying Nexomon- Extinction so far, it's a sassy game that's quite fun to play! The game mechanics work as intended and there were only a few things which I questioned before an NPC provided an answer. Leveling up my Nexomon seems like a potential slog though, I've gotten used to experience sharing in Pokémon games; I must unlearn this behavior. There are cores which can act like an Exp Share, which is nice because there are two party members that don't need to hog a large chunk of experience! I've been juggling those cores around to passively level up Nexomon which were behind in levels while using stronger creatures to tank damage.

I appreciate the game's aesthetics because it reminds me of older Pokémon games, while remaining unique. The setting matches up with the desperate situation this world is currently in as there are settlements and camps throughout the land outside of their one big city. Humanity seems to be close to potential extinction. Nexomon Tamers are responsible for desperately keeping the wild Nexomon at bay so others can labor on in safer surroundings. I'm going to keep playing today and get further in! As the need to know what happens next is strong, I felt that similarly with Coromon too.
