I wish this game didn't have aiming down sights and guns had attachments or special abilities instead, which could include a scope for stuff like sniper or Precision rifles, I guess. Also enemy variety is dogshit for a game that generally has pretty good run and gun gameplay. Stealth is pretty boring unless you make yourself do it as fast as possible without getting caught.

>>733584597
For V? I'd argue the Sun and getting whatever deal you've made with Mr Blue Eyes.
In terms of narrative? I have a soft spot for the Devil ending, though only if Takemura is the one to visit and try to convince V to sign away his life to Arasaka. It hurts in such a great way that you really feel doomed.

Dies. Using Mikoshi has Johnny's engram stripped from V and his own engram placed back in, but the neural damage is already done.
I guess you could argue that whatever is on V's engram is already partly Johnny due to the overwriting.

is it ever explained if Johnny is literally the same soul as the original bilogical Johnny?
or is his awakening as part of your conscience only a copy of his original soul, that essentially just reacts the way he would but is an independant "clone"?
(thinking along the lines of that kind of teleportation that disintegrates you and puts your body back together at the place you're being teleported to, and whether that retains your original conscience or if you just died and let a clone take over that acts and feels precisely like you)

I mean, is it the actual Johnny, or did Arasaka just copy whatever they saw was there physically before killing him? Is it the actual same conscience, or just a copy?

I avoided ever playing this game after the shitstorm on release. Was really disappointing that CDPR fucked it up so bad after I had been playing their games since TW1EE but I finally played it this month. Damn, what an amazing game, kinda glad I waited until now to play it. If you're in this thread and for some reason never played it, give it a shot.
>>
>>733614691
It's a copy
Soulkiller is so-named because it kills you while it's copying you (like brain uploading believers do so they can pretend the copy is the same)
It is a complete copy though, because that Johnny does remember things from before the tower raid like his time in the war
>>
>>733614691
>>733615507
I remember a conversation in the game where Johnny talks through the whole Transporter Paradox shit, reaches the conclusion that the actual Johnny Silverhand is very dead and he's just a machine programmed to think like him, and then reaches the further conclusion past that of "But fuck it" which proves that he's a very accurate Johnny Silverhand emulator
>>
>>733615507
>>733615759
that's kind of scary in-universe - even with the technology to copy your being authentically there is no way to keep on living.

Judging by Rogue, Kerry and Hanako, lifespans seem at least doubled

160 year old Saburo might be the oldest person in the world and looks and acts the part, but his ass was probably pushing 100 before life extension treatments even started

Hanako in particular, her ass seems like it could just live a millennium, there's absolutely zero sign interacting with her of how fucking old she is

hes clearly different, the dogtags are the best hint at this
he says they're from a friend who took a bullet for him but if you look at the name they say "robert john linder" which was silverhands actual birth name
so either he doesn't know that meaning the engram is a slightly altered version, or he considers robert a former life who "died" and was reborn as silverhand, and still a different person from the johnny we know

Before Phantom Liberty, it seems like a foolish grasping at straws false hope
After Phantom Liberty, apparently cures to the Relic exist, and they're just littered around forgotten basements like fuckin' Draugr swords, so there is in fact a decent chance that there's another one to be found in Arizona

It's the vaguest midpoint of your two options.

>>733584738
not really
Tower Ending (Reed & from Phantom Liberty) can theoretically be combined with Star Ending (nomads & Panam), even though not in the game: after finishing with Panam, take the Reed ending from Phantom Liberty (ally with So Mi & call Reed on monorail), therefore getting healed and returning to a "normal" Nomad life alongside Panam... and, cherry on top, you can also take Victor (so he'll be a nomad ripper instead of selling out), the fortune teller girl, and Takemura (who also said he thought about going nomad, otherwise killing himself) on the road for you... while also still being friends with Reed and working undercover for NetWatch

Can someone explain what the Sandevistan does to those who use it? I know it increases the reaction speeds of people, but I don't really understand how it makes people run so fast if it doesn't affect your muscles/actuators.

probably hire some urbanists/architects to make the city realistic, where people actually have a reason to live

at least the interiors are decent, surprisingly so

there's 2 options
safest option
>start with a new roster of characters entirely, make V a legend/npc who is either possessed by johnny or retired (DTFR ending)
works the best since the MCs of the cyberpunk universe are johnny, alt, and yorinobu
risky option

Technically it was a shotgun, but yes, Johnny got blasted into bits by Smasher in the 2023 raid, and Spider Murphy soul-killed Johnny to "save" his life. Up until the videogame it was always left open whether Johnny's soul survived the destruction of the tower or not.

maybe play Johnny Silverhand (with Garret style "making comments to himself" instead of a silent protagonist)
an anarchist / terrorist rock star is a good line and he probably did a lot of interesting low / medium stakes shit until Alt got captured and he decided tho nuke Arasaka (which was basically just the last week of his life or smth)
>>
>>733616402
>hes clearly different
Alt tells us that Artifact-Johnny is a fragmented version of the Real-Johnny, which is why his memories are all messed up. He's had 50 years to spin in his own conscious soup and as a result he's deified aspects of his story and entirely forgotten others. It's actually a great unreliable narrator convention, as we're seeing exactly what Johnny believes himself to be at his deepest inner self. It's like how when you replay at argument you had with your girlfriend you're the one who is rational and calm and considered, when in reality you were also probably being a dick and not listening.

What other cities or major locations are there in the cyberpunk universe?

Quite a lot, but none as fleshed out as Night City. Cyberpunk is a very specifically American setting/story. They honestly dont need to have another city, although my understanding is that they're going to have both NC and Chicago in the sequel.

>>
>>733618665
Anime was badly researched. Reflex enhancing ware does just that. Enhance your reaction times. On tabletop it means people who have it will win initiative and get to act multiple times. You are still bound by your physical limitations like movement speed and the like. To overcome those you would need more ware.
Also its a common option, anyone that plans to fight typically gets it, they wanted david to be special so only he and smasher had it. But if youre accurate to the setting those bikers would have had it too, and so would the maelstrom guy. Maybe they would have a lower tier of it, but they would still have it too.

Also on top of that there's two types. One that you activate - what david has, which needs conscious effort to activate. And one that's permanently activated as soon as you wake up from the table. The one that stays on forever is like that justice league/cyborg 009 episode where the flash/009 get stuck in super speed. Thats why its so costly to your humanity. But if you really want to be the best, then you dont want to be in a situation where youre taken by surprise and *then* need to turn it on.

This is why top level street samurai are so disconnected from humanity. You borg up and it makes you better but always being better, hearing further, seeing more, being faster but forced to move at the same pace as normals. It takes a toll. Sure you can watch youtube shorts at 16x speed while your team is negotiating with the client. But every single 'normal' activity fucks you up because its beneath you. Shit like waiting for the car to get to the blacksite would feel like an eternity. Sitting down to eat while your unagmented family shovels down one spoonful after the other in ultra slow motion? After a while it will grate at you.
Cyber psychosis isnt just multiple robot parts glued to you = you go crazy somehow. Its all the stresses of superhumanity wearing down on your sanity until you just snap.
>>
>>733620013
>anon we are talking about Tokyo, not LA
Yeah but I'm not making that up, there have been multiple insane plans to just fill in Tokyo Bay and leave only canals for shipping and passenger terminals, for the same reasons as that retarded pyramid plan. (They've also actually been doing it since the 1800s, burning garbage to ash and then using it to fill in the bay to make more land)
>>
>>733620254
but it wouldn't be a wasteland

anyway Tokyo is a bit overused at the moment, probably some Hong Kong stuff (like that other anon said) would be more fitting... even without the Kowloon block it's very high density... and also a real location so no more headaches when it comes to "what are people doing there?!"
Sleeping Dogs presented the excellent possibilities of the city, even though it wasn't sci-fi or cyberponk
btw two of the three major Blade Runner financiers were also from Hong Kong (Sir Run Run Shaw, & Tandem Productions)

i wasn't specifically talking about david, it's just the fact that most "groups" are fairly balanced when it comes to the tabletop

essentially, the entire team can magdump Adam and it just works, you don't even need to be his level, you just need mid-tier gear to get past the armor rating or whatever and that's not mentioning the special stuff that each class can do

i find the unfortunate problem is that these "cyberpunk" games are typically too quick, like people die fucking instantly if you play the rules properly, to the point of whoever gets the drop on the other is the victor 99% of the time

so having fixers, netrunners, and other classes are what really fucks him up, like batman preparation, most people who are doing crazy enough shit to attract smasher typically have the means to deal with him or other heavily armored platforms
>>
Why do you people want to go to another city so badly? I wish they even abandoned the Chicago idea and fleshed out Night City more instead. So much work has been already put into it and many players won't even see half of it. Entire areas designed where's there is nothing for the player to do because of cut content. The city just need to be touched up and the development time saved can be used for example for actually making it an RPG this time or having dynamic city systems that actually work etc.
>>
>>733620171
>and so would the maelstrom guy.
He absolutely did
When David tries to uppercut him, he activates his and nearly hits David with the hammer, giving him a real split second scare
>>
>>733622837
He also does that thing where he snaps his head fast enough to look at David like Superman spotting The Flash

>>
>>733620061
>he thinks he's some Cain like being who has no stats
Not what I'm saying. I know he has stats - point is he would absolutely wipe most if not all mid-range crews, which is exactly his threat level in 2020.
I can't speak to 2077 cause we only have the anime and the game to go off of. Smasher is dangerous, but he's not at the level of the 12 for example, any one of which would flatline him.
>>
>>733621985
I would prefer it because it would give them a skeleton (both W3 & CP2077 are fictional...)
Moving to a new city, especially a mammoth of the pinball industry --where Polish people for whatever reason flocked-- like Chicago would give them the resources and perspective to return to Night City after that and "flesh it out."

>Entire areas designed where's there is nothing for the player to do because of cut content.
The area should have been the content. It never had the pull, for me, to explore; and I am not alone, that's why even you are complaining. When I looked up interesting quests I should do, the road there felt like a chore. And this was the only open world game I finished in which I ever felt like this.
>>
>>733621985
>The city just need to be touched up and the development time saved can be used for example for actually making it an RPG this time or having dynamic city systems that actually work etc.
100% the shift to UE5 is also a dick-kick. NC was beautifully (if flawed in places) realized in REDEngine. For the sequel all they needed was to put another 2-3 years into making it this absolutely gorgeously living city chock full of secrets and hideaways and stories. One of the whole reasons you do a sequel is to re-use assets to save on development costs which can be re-allocated to other or new features.

>>
>>733621540
Yeah, but outside of David and Lucy none of them had anything to deal with him or coordinate against him
It also wasnt just Adam but Arasaka squads too (this was a direct Saka contract for him so he would get backup and runners to support him)
Maxtac was regrouping and not far off
They werent prepared at all to deal with Smasher either
They were unprepared, outleveled and outnumbered
>>
>>733620171
Isnt David's Sandevistan a advanced Militech prototype and thats why hes much faster than most people alongside him being able to spam it nonstop?
Im pretty sure thats why Saka wanted him in the first place to run tests on stolen Militech ware
Smasher just happens to also have top shelf Sandy ware but like he said its not that big a deal everyone has it and David is delusional to think himself special just because hes got a extra beefy one

Investor demands. The whole kerfuffle surrounding CP2077 release was essentially blamed on the engine itself (scapegoated). This allowed the developer to shift blame off themselves whilst also presenting a solution. Same reason Witcher 4 will be in UE5.
>"So you see, board of investors. RedEngine simply wasnt up to the task. However, Unreal 5 is more than suited for future development, and comes with a wealth of documentation. Not to mention we can outsource a lot of busywork to India for only $2 an hour."

>>
>>733626216
>How does the sandevistan make him faster?
Increased reaction time. He can react faster. However, it's an incredible strain on his muscles and skeleton and tendons etc. You could chrome up and reinforce a lot of that to make the strain more bearable (which he does), but it still takes its toll on your nervous system.
>>
>>733626183
Yeah, but not special enough to completely borg whitin a year without losing his shit
Not to mention without the Grav Gun Exoskeleton he really didnt have much to write home about that the top tier crews couldnt trivialize
He was indeed special, but that isnt enough to make it

Those things arent part of your body. A hacker pwning your gadgets are way better than say, your cybereyes or your cyberarms. And before we go any further. Only an idiot would run their smartlink gun on wireless. A cable is cheap and ubiqutous, theres no shortage of ports in your body to connect to it if the handle itself doesnt already form a direct connection.
>but the police!!!
Youre already a criminal walking around with milspec gear.

>>733626029
Thats just bad anime writing. The guys who wrote the story didnt know any better and wanted an enjoyable show for the audience which it accomplices.
They should have spent a few minutes showing David's level of fitness, instead they do the opposite by showing him gas out while he's running with Lucy. If you think about it, all he can do with the sandevistan is perceive time differently. His ability to drive, pickpocket and keep himself from being pick pocketed kind of makes sense. But running from one side of a train to the other to catch a chip in midair would leave him just as exhausted as running in real time.
Again, its forgivable given the subject.

People are financing burritos and cars that are worth 1/2 their house. Meanwhile they endlessly complain about government and corporate powers while both refusing to wear or use anything that doesn't have a giant corporate brand on it and believing democracy is somehow real.

Just really take in the world around you and the behavior of the people in it the next time you go outside, you are already living in a dying cyberpunk-esque civilization where the president is shilling crypto and the government is nothing more than arena for corporate power struggles.

This applies to everyone. Lefty troons will complain about muh corporate power while defending any company that puts up a pride flag, and are active proponents of the pharmalogical cash cow that is "transgenderism". While rightoids will act as if capitalism still is or even ever was real, and that we are still citizens of some country with rights rather than the unmoored inhabitants of some special economic zone where the dollar and what it can buy is God for 95% of the population. We defacto slaves, we are ruled just as peasants 500, 1000, 5000, etc years ago were ruled
