Holy fuck I've been falling asleep with the amount of dialogue and no gameplay in this shitty DLC
>>734210136>expecting gameplay from cinematic normiebait slop
>>734210136wow anon there's a lot of dialogue in an RPG? That's crazy.
>>734210721Cyberpunk isn't an RPG retard, it's a linear action shooter with side quests
>>734210491it's normalfag and slop is only said by brown peopleyou will never be white and you will never fit in
>>734210939you're supposed to call it a looter shooter, retard
>>734211058Call it whatever you want faggot, it's not an RPG and it's fucking a snooze fest
>>734210136Then fucking skip it stupid faggot. Or grow an attention span and enjoy it. Fuck you.
>>734211417How do you fuck a snooze fest?
>>734211417It's at least as much of an RPG as VTMB
>>734210136here anon, hope this helps
>>734210136The driving and shooting is in the base game, why would you even get the dlc?
i am convinced that anyone who likes the amount of tedious onboarding bullshit in phantom liberty is a subhuman who needs to die ASAP
>>734211716
>>734211716nigga it's a video game not a workplace tf you talkin bout "onboarding" get off the internet gramps
they should stop hiring hollywood actors to voice characters. i thought keanu reeves was bad but idris elba was a fucking sin against voice acting
>>734211867he's a decrepit old grandpa complaining that it has an intro, he'd prefer a morrowind expansion where you just click through a loading screen to get to the expansion playpen
>>734211501So just skip the content? Maybe make more engaging characters, trim down the talking segments and expand the gameplay elements in your shitty DLC
>>734211918Not really "voice acting" when they're fully face-scanned characters
>>734211953It has tons of gameplay elements. The entire first 3 hours of the mission is you in a firefight with hundreds of gunmen trying to abduct the president.
Lmfao I played for like 2 minutes killing some voodoos and back to boring conversation and gotta hold Y. Great game>>734212036I beat that in 7 minutes, it's not 3 hours of gameplay. Then it's back to talking about garbage no one likely even remembers
>>734210136I stop doing the main quest as soon as I open the entire map up. Sometimes I just play for hours in Watson without talking to Jackie about the bullshit heist. I just run around after seeing the ripperdoc behind Misty's doing all the fixer and NCPD shit( currently doing this now, lvl 11 23 street cred and I still haven't done ``The Ride''.This game has the worst story I have ever played, but I enjoy the combat and hacking, so I just do that.
>>734212085Yeah when you actually get to play its alright, best weird tech melee ninja build. But then the talking starts for 50 fucking minutes
>>734211950>here's an immersive, open-world RPG shooter>but before you get enjoy that, you must sit through centuries of embarrassing dialogue and slog through terrible railroaded interiorsi suppose only geriatrics want gameplay in their fucking gamessame deal with the base game, actually>finally get to enjoy the world>just getting immersed>now get molested by keanu fucking reeves for ages>even skipping every piece of dialogue involves waiting, and waiting, and more waitingjust fuck offffff
>>734212036lol
>>734210136/v/ being illiterate as usual>OH NO IS THAT A STORY? NOOOOO
>>734211918He's the main reason I always side with Songbird. Sure, she's a manipulative bitch, but it means I get to shoot this faggot in the face. Fucking over the NUSA is a bonus.
>>734212645You could fit an excellent film into the time that terrible intro occupied.
>>734212573>i suppose only geriatrics want gameplay in their fucking gamesOpposite actually. Only ADHD-brained zoomers want fast action every single moment the software is running. People have enjoyed games with mixed pacing, with alternating sections of action, exploration, and story, since forever. The obsession with everything with everything having to be a punishingly difficult exercise in skill mastery at all times is a modern phenomenon, born around the 7th gen era and coincides with competitive online multiplayer becoming the default mode of play for many. There are plenty of games where the narrative genuinely does intrude on the gameplay, but this isn't one of them. Some main story sections are narrative heavy but you can play for hours upon hours without encountering a cut scene if you want to, and they're never overwhelmingly long. There's still usually exploration and control going on when you are in dialogue. If you want a true example of this issue look at Metaphor. That game can deadlock you behind cut scenes for an entire hour, sometimes more, before you regain any control of your character.
>>734212645How does being illiterate have anything to do with listening to dialogue? You dumb fucking nigger. Do you know what the definition of illiterate is, you fucking ESL mongoloid?
>>734210136Honestly why do people hype this dlc so much? It was by far the worst part of the game imo and all the iconic guns are shit too the new skill sets only has 1 barely useful skill that is the weak spot
I myself wish I could enjoy the main game but I've been trying and trying again and it just won't stick.I have it as some form of deus ex game, I loved those, but it is just sleep inducing and the characters aren't interesting. A lot of shit seems meaningless. I'm helping some cops down the street get rid of a few thugs and what do they do? They shoot me afterwards. I'm looting everything and there's not a care in the world. Too much shit that looks almost procedurally generated. By no means are dew sex games good regarding combat either, but the combat in this seems to have no impact at all. I would expect at least a little bit less jank and more physics. And what's with the dialogue? A lot of it seems to have zero choice on it. I finished a mission involving a boss I could just skip by walking out the door. What are the consequences of that? I went, reloaded, killed him and all I got was nice items. It'd be nice if the people I interacted with afterwards went back in there, found this fucker was still alive and they all got wrecked. Does that even happen? Game feels a little "dead".
>>734213036People want GOOD story mixed with their gameplay. No one gives a shit about Cyberpunk's dialogue.>V he's flatlining! >OH COME ON COME ON PLEASE! FUCK!>Johnny: No offense V, but he deserved to die, the corp cocksucker>DAMN IT!Wow real riveting dialogue as you take away control to have V have a mental breakdown. As well as characters talking about shit I bet you don't even remember. When they force you to go talk to someone, it's just techno mumbled garble to make it sound high tech of a conversation. It's dogshit
>>734210136Guess you've found yourself in quite a sitch.
>>734213319I like to cope that its because the game was rushed so much the prologue and specially the mission of preparation to the raid is almost kino and you can solve it in various ways and after that after you start chapter 1 it just drops immensely in quality
the cyberpunk thread on /vg/ is even more infested with dollhouse faggotry than the elder scrolls one, which is really saying something
>>734211557He isn't wrong. I'm starting RE9 but how many fuckin cut scenes are in this shit?? I'm just after Grace wakes up after being kidnapped, and its been mostly cuts!I haven't played any RE games at all since the OG 4, is this just how modern gaming is now?? Jesus. You fags want a movie or to PLAY games?! Seeing Leon again was exciting though briefly w that Requiem gun I guess.
>>734213319They silently stopped marketing it as an RPG before release. There's a severe lack of consequences. The only real choices the game has is choosing to romance one of 4 characters, of which 2 are sex locked of our of the many you interact with.There's a bunch of shit like you mentioned cops coming at you for helping cops, though it's probably some accidental hits from you the game should give you some leeway, a stray bullet hitting a car while helping the police shouldn't make them turn on you.>>734213516Cyberpunk is higher fidelity and is a modern setting compared to Elder Scrolls.AGPgooners pick what they can relate to the most and that's a city over a frozen medieval wasteland.
>>734213795What's even more annoying is the parts where they give you control to just walk straight and interact with something to start another cutscene. Just make it all one fucking cutscene and get it over with
>>734210136I tried playing this shit but the sheer amount of bullshit side missions put me to sleep. And the story is just meh. I really don't get why people suck this shit off. Maybe if the open world aspect was more interesting and felt alive I'd enjoy it more.
>>734210136>Subhuman Zoomer getting filteredMany such cases. Better open subway surfer YouTube on the other screen, lil bro.
>>734213818>There's a bunch of shit like you mentioned cops coming at you for helping cops, though it's probably some accidental hits from you the game should give you some leeway, a stray bullet hitting a car while helping the police shouldn't make them turn on you.Nah I actually tested this a good number of times myself because I was also using the game as a benchmark to find out why I was having a hardware problem.Everytime I would run around this specific area and find some cops fighting some group of thugs and sometimes just because I was bored I would just try to kill the guys. I don't think it is possible to do anything in that situation other than ignoring the conflict unless I want to escape from cops.To me the RPG thing seems weird, it seems to have more "classic RPG bullshit" when it comes to building a character. In my opinion a stat system shouldn't even be there in the first place.
>>734214238lmfao again the retards here conflate boring uninteresting storytelling with attention span. I enjoy many games with decent amount of unskippable cutscenes, many older games. But they often allow you to play the game once its done. Sorry I don't enjoy Sony games, you fag, I play VIDEO GAMES.
>>734213818There's a lot of short-term decisions that you can fuck up at least. Sidequests you can lock yourself out of, characters who can live or die. Also one ending that's missible if you fuck up one conversation earlier.
>>734211531with your peanus weanus of course :)
>>734210136I have this a chance, maybe 20 hours. The talking head clicking dialogue sections are fucking awful and this 'storytelling' method needs to die. I could not give a fuck what any of these ugly moron characters have to say. The whole game is ugly in fact, every object and person. The gameplay is a shit fps and a shit driving game.
>>734214584Man, the driving. I don't know how they fucked it up so bad. The cars have zero weight to them.
>>734214043Yeah, I'm not a fan of any of it so far. It just takes me out of it completely.Like I said, I'm old so maybe I'm just not hip to how things are now. But 4 was perfect because their cuts were appropriately placed & was enough to know what was going on.I picked up 7/8 as well w the bundle. I have a feeling they're all gonna be like this.
>>734214814Honestly the worst thing about modern gaming in regard to these is non-skippable cutscene segments. I think they are the worst thing to come out of all of this. Pointless padding in games where the story isn't specially the thing worth actually playing the game for. Segments where you have to just slowly walk forward for what feels like a fucking eternity doing nothing and you have to listen, not because you're given a hint to progress, not because it's really interesting, it's just because the developer knows you're going to return or rent this shit so they went from 6 to 8 hour long campaigns to 15 or 20 with this stupid fucking bullshit. That idiocy needs to be stopped.
>>734214376>I enjoy many games>doubtyou're a soulless faggot drone attempting to troll
>>734215560Wtf I love watching twitch and not playing video games now
>>734210136are you only playing story missions like a retarded streamer?if so, stop being linear brained and do some side content where no one says a word. there is easily 50+ hours of content clear gigs and ncpd missions.
>>734215560Pointing out flaws in modern games is being soulless troll? Maybe take the nigger dick our of your eyes and accept that it's a problem with games to lazily extend "game times". If you want a more narrative experience, the game better have some really good voice acting, story telling and characters. No one in cyberpunk is any of those.
>>734215881I've done that, the intro is fucking boring but I've done that all. It wasn't great, but far better than the DLC so far. DLC is simply cutscene heaven to hide the fact the DLC is void of gameplay
>>734215881>ncpd missionsshoot five guys and loot a box, wow such content
what does /v/ think of my casting?
>>734213319ive noticed the same opinion from other people that say they love Deus Ex and Fallout New Vegas. i think your problem is you fell in love with bad games with bad characters, writing, and gameplay, developed a shield of nostalgia around it and a standard that even the games you love wouldnt survive. You are playing a game with great combat, character writing, deep world building found in even the smallest missions in one of the best cities in gaming to date, and you cant bear any of it. You might have psychological issues or are easily manipulated by public opinion.
>>734210721"RPG">one romance option
>>734216468Nah man, it's not working today. Sorry.
>>734216181V is austin butler
>>734210136nice bait
>>734216679What's the bait? It's boring. A game can be shit and boring you know
>>734216181
>>734215025>non-skippable cutscene segmentsI fucking hate that shit. Even worse is when they won't even let you skip the cutscenes on replay. I just finished Spider Man 2 last week and I literally spent majority of the time just skipping like 90% of the cut scenes. I think I only watched cutscenes in the first act so I could get the gist of the story but by Act 2, I was just skipping literally everything.
>>734211784i will never forgive them
>>734214729No actual traction or turning simulation, cars have a momentum vector that slowly catches up to the rotation of the vehicle based on a stat while decreasing proportionally based on how far off from the forward direction it is. Basically mario kart 64 or GTA 3 level physics. That's why it's impossible to roll a car and there's no difference between dry streets, soaking wet streets, dirt, grass, mud, or driving through the fucking landfill. There's no actual physics simulation involved.
did you not realize that during the base game?
>>734216162who were the 5 guys, what were they doing?Oh you were hired to kill 8 maelstrom, big woop. But there is a cop car parked there with 2 dead cops. You look through their stuff and find a message from the police commissioner that sent them to deal with the locals. You look through the maelstroms pockets and find another message from the commissioner telling the maelstrom to kill his cops. Taking place in the Industrial District of Watson where that same Commissioner hired Scav to kill the homeless population to clear a lot for developers. The NCPD then hires V to kill the Scavs.
>>734216162it's even worse in witcher 3loot the box on the map for a few items
>>734210136these games are for faggot boomers who cant watch woke slop netflix anymore, so they get their movies slop fix from fake games
>>734217052I know they have short story snippets to them.The problem is that those story snippets are totally inconsequential. Functionally, you shoot five guys and take their shit, then move on.
>>734217256Normalfag lives are inconsequential. You see headlines about someone getting casually fragged by niggers every day, the whole world moves on as if nothing happened because to the wider society indeed - nothing happened.
Most beloved games on /v/:>Pokemon Firered and Leafgreen (Switch re-release only)>Mewgenics>Onirism>PragmataMost hated games on /v/:>Cyberpunk 2077>Elden Ring>Skyrim>Zelda TOTKReally tells you something, doesn’t it?
All of the talking would be more tolerable if it wasn't so incredibly linear and on-rails for every mission. It always feels pointless, and you cannot get V to take a hard stance on a anything. Then the norm normgroids call it a good game because you can miss some shit if you choose the obviously retarded dialogue options all the time.
>>734216904And then there's fucking Captain whatshisname and his demands to get a car in two minutes when you're three miles away in a car with a top speed of 60
I'm too bored of FPS to even try this game
>>734217853Its worth a try since the dialogue sounds like its coming from human for a change but if you hate any of the characters your kinda fucked
>>734217256>inconsequentiali play skyrim, enter a dungeon and smack 6 nords to deaths with hammer and leave. inconsequentiala hundred similar dungeons with no narrative link to each other or the storymost popular game in existence. inconsequentiali play a multiplayer game and kill the enemies 30 times and win. inconsequential, nothing was advanced. Wow my rank went up and i got a new gun to do the same mission again. inconsequential.I made a friend during the game, inconsequential. we will all die anyway, what good are friends, gameplay variety, or story elements to add flavor to gameplay. inconsequential
>>734218210Yeah, turns out random ass dungeons are not what makes skyrim great.> i play a multiplayer game and kill the enemies 30 times and win. inconsequential, nothing was advanced.The point here is the challenge. NCPD scanner missions have none of that. They're done in seconds with no chance of failure.
>>734218210its just another door, another painting, another level. inconsequential
>>734210136can you at least skip it with an ESC press?
>>734215025Yeah, not being able to skip them is mind numbingly fucked beyond belief. They're wanting me to care about this woman's trials & tribulations, who I just met, and I just don't give a shit.Honestly I think all this started when games became massive giga hog beats in size, so dumb developers didn't reign themselves in. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
>>734218370ncpd missions give you a place to use your kit, earn money, and often get free upgrades while adding background information to Gigs, NCPD criminal activity gigs, and Story missions.No game is "hard", even fighting real people isnt "hard". Its to enjoy the gameplay and hopefully do what cdpr did and pair it with small story elements for the player to find and flesh out the world.
>>734218939The problem is that they're not good at that either. Because they're too easy. The rare organized crime ones work for that, but the normal ones don't.
>>734211918mfw japanese dub
>>734218463you can fast-forward every conversation easily.
>>734218463You hold Y if there is dialogue, some dialogue can't be skipped though. There are sections with elevators that can't be skipped and that happens often
>>734214729>He’s still driving instead of using leg augments + dash to bunnyhop around the cityYou will never become a Night City Legend
