he was right about everything. almost
>objectively a terrible person>game forces you to like himi still wonder what the game would have been like if they didnt add keanu chungus
>>741943081Why Keanu Reeves out of all the fucking actors. The nicest actor to play the punkest punk who ever punked. It should have been Sid Vicious... but he is dead. But fuck it, this game would have been better if it never was made. Some other indie developer should have a made Cyberpunk based game.
>>741943424>should have a madeshould have made*Cyberpunk 2077 is a good game right now though, if you can ignore EVERYTHING but the combat. The netrunner build is satisfying to play as. >t. playing the latest version of the game
>>741943424>Why Keanu ReevesBecause matrix is cyberpunk.
>>741943192I wouldn't say the game forces you to like him, there are plenty of times you can call him a piece of shit or a loser, you're just stuck with him
>>741943081
>>741943081"He" is a data corrupted AIslop USB tumor that couldn't even remember how he died let alone give you a straight answer as to why we should seethe at Arasaka in particular as opposed to other corporations. It's like having a bugged ChatGPT spamming your gmail telling you to kill Jeff Bezos specifically.Shit concept. Shit "character". Shit execution. Shit acting. Keanu Chungus ruined the game. Both the plot and world building. Instead of having your very own character in an open world RPG you are stuck with V who has his own personality and story railroaded for you and then on top of that you get stuck with a brain AIslop tumor that kills V in 2 weeks but also hijacks the story and makes it all about its beef with Japanese Jeff Bezos. 2-3 weeks to live? I wouldn't even bother with new relationships let alone trying to kill a company that falls apart in 2 years because of Yorinobu anyway.
>>741943515Keanu Reeves was a bad decision. Someone else should have vc'ed Johnny Sharthand, someone who had a menacing punkish voice unlike the pussy whipped tough guy act voice of Reeves. >>741943616It is so tiresome. The game is just 99% glazing him all the time. I get it everyone at CDPR wanted to give him a blowjob, but it would have been better to keep him as a comedy relief like Joker from Arkham Knight.
>>741943081he was right about the things that matter
>>741943424Because Keanu is old school cyberpunk>>741943515And Johnny Mnemonic
keanu chungus made me not buy the game
>>741943081When we get advertisements on the moon I'll become his strongest soldier.
>>741943515I'm not sure why they didn't make him a different character. I mean, I think they basically let Silverhand be more Keanu'd than the other way around. If someone would have done a Sid Vicious ripoff for Silverhand and then had Keanu be Blackhand (aesthetically keanu-ified a bit) or something maybe htat would have been more legendary. However that one of the thousands of mistakes made with CP2077. I'm still more annoyed that Phantom Liberty ended with nothing (no new romances, old romances fucked over, one new shitty ending, no alternate paths to either end up working for NiteCorp or NUSA as their JC Denton etc...just nothing) , there was no Edgerunners real content, they fucked up Panam in the shitty PL "ending". The worst part is that modders could fix some of this but the lack of in depth mod tools means we don't have a Mass Effect 3 / LE level of mods much less a proper Fallout/ElderScrolls approach.
>set the game 57 years into the future of the setting >recycle all the characters and status quo from Cyberpunk 2020 >remove stuff like bioware and other weird shit Castrated. Made the world feel tiny and static.
>>741944026Le no happy endings choomba so deep xD
>objectively terrible person>also the only sane character>only character positing actual solutions that disrupt the status quo>game wants me to think he's an annoyance
>>741943743>The game is just 99% glazing him all the time.No that's just you. There is a separate negative dialogue tree for every single interaction with him.
what games does this board even like
>>741944121>remove stuff like bioware and other weird shitThird edition was retconned after it killed the entire IP. Literally no one wants bioware. Go play shadowcringers if you want magical punching.
>>741944324horse gacha
>>741944197>sane>his solution is to kill a bunch of employees doing their 9-5>still gets btfo by the cunt smasher>his gun shoots gay flames when reloading for some reasonyea im thinking he sucks
>>741944903Arasaka is a cult and no one that ever worked for them deserves to live. Corpo V included.
>>741944903>kill a bunch of employees doing their 9-5wasn't it actually blackhand who planted the bomb?
>>741944183its crazy how they basically plowed that shit completely into the ground because people didn't understand the difference between >you can't change the structures of the world permanently, but with luck and skill you can carve yourself a niche>fuck you either die 'gloriously' or live as a wretch hurrdurr
>>741943081the only thing I disagreed with Johnny on throughout the entire game was the extra dimensional space vampires, because AJ pre-cancelation from youtube, and after when he was ALLOWED to speakyou don't think human beings needed an Engram database, do you?? or that humans need to kill "ranting lunatics" with cardboard signs living in the street outside of a fortune tellers store.nuke arasaka twice? no problem, literally take my body to do one last gig, why not, tattoo, lmao, "its not actually aliens" i disagree but its demons.
>>741945261>i disagree but its demons.That's one of the conspiracy theories in the radio t h o. Some of them are real like the mushroom AI and werewolves.
>>741944903>>his solution is to kill a bunch of employees doing their 9-5if you killed my girlfriend i'd nuke your corporate headquarters aswell bro, you're innocent? then stop working there
>>741943192Obviously he was only a cliffhanger in cp2077. They shoehorned him into the game. Arasaka heist wasn't the first, but the last mission initially. Then Johnny mnemonic wanted a bigger role. He's in cp2077 2, too.
>>741943424>fucking actors.Cp2077 is Johnny mnemonic, basically.
>>741943424bro has been in the most "cyberpunk" movies, literally Johnny in johnny menemonic, the matrix, plus hes bill and ted and john fucking wickits not a 1:1 if you read the pen and paper rpg but he fits the role insanely well
>>741943424>Sid ViciousWhy would a corporate musician play a anti-corporate anarchist?
>>741943424Because David Bowie is dead
>>741945554>He's in cp2077 2, too.Already confirmed he isn't.
>>741945554David's engram will be in Orion choomjohnny is logically left undetermined due to player choice but lets be honest he's with Alt now and thats the canon ending
>>741945810Vgh, would be SOVL. >>741946535We need a happy ending in Cyberpunk this time around. All endings in 77 were horrid.
>>741943192>>741943424>>741943743>>741943829>>741944903
>>741943081He was a useful idiot for Militech in their corpo war agaijst Arasaka. Johnny was a complete retard doing their bidding for FREE.
>>741947230>We need a happy ending in Cyberpunkbro, the "happy end" for cyberpunk would be ending the world and waking up after being force time traveled back 100 years to discover it was all a dream*
Does CP still get updates? I tried it on release and it didn't work on my PC. I've seen the show when it came out but that's all I know about the setting
>>741946535Who?>altWell, I'd like that, too. Keanu will ruin co2, too. >>741945974Show
>>741944197Why bomb arasaka tower instead of just killing every arasaka member?
>>741949272They recruit faster than you can kill them.
>>741949272Any arasaka worth killing is usually in japan or the moon, good luck getting either place as a dipshit mercenary with rep for killing sakas
>game has hard choices
>>741943192
This might be the stupidest change this game has seen. There is NO way Corpo V should be getting snappy with a dude that owns a fucking Rayfield Aerondight "Guinevere". Keep in mind that only 150 of those were ever produced, and only the wealthiest can afford them. Realistically he should be a powerful enough figure to have had V chopped into pieces if they even gave him a dirty look. I could believe that someone like Takemura or Oda, or maybe even Hellman can afford to do that, but V at that point is just some nobody working for Arasaka.
>>741943081It is NOT okay to nuke cities.
>>741943192>objectively a terrible personI hate what retards did to media literacy, because you can't point out fucking braindead takes like this one without sounding obnoxious
>>741950417He didn't actually though
>>741950467Not for lack of trying.
>>741944026Cyberpunk is an unfortunate example of a bad video game with a really good setting and background. Everything from the tabletop in the game is good, and everything CDPR original, with some exceptions, just doesn't measure up.
>>741950046game has no choices actually
>>741950553Well if his plan went off the way he wanted he would have just leveled the Arasaka building which is morally neutral.
>>741950417depends on the city
>>741943424you should like a total fag, manget help
>>741950607that's what she gets for flirting with V with no intention to fuck
>>741943424He played the role really well, so I'm not sure what your complaint is
>>741947870Post cyberpunk exists
>>741950437
>>741951556I really appreciate the extra layer of irony of needing a meme saved in your pocket to hand out for posts that make you mad but you can't actually articulate why let alone a satisfying response.
>>741943743>The game is just 99% glazing him all the timeWhat are you talking about? Everyone thinks he's a piece of shit. Even at the very end of the main quest where Johnny is going on about how he'd screwed up everything but at least he never screwed V you can still call him a piece of shit and say he fucked V just like he fucked everyone else. In fact, unless they've changed things, you have to do so to get best ending.
>>741943192>game forces you to like himYou didn't play the game. And no, Phantom Liberty doesn't count.
>>741952164Best ending is which one? Please don't say the Johnny ending, lol.Johnny is a punk rocker, sure thing he fucked everyone. Not like he would ever work. It's just weird that a random garage band from 50 years ago has any significance 50 years later. Pretty much nothing happened anyway, weird time skip. Cdpr is only that big because they capitalize on eu and national funding.
>>741950221>but V at that point is just some nobody working for ArasakaHe's the right hand man for the head of counterintelligence for Arasaka. It's been a while since I played corpo but I'm pretty sure it's heavily implied everyone is scared shitless of V only because he's tight with a guy that assassinates entire boards just to buy a few weeks of time.
>>741952501>Best ending is which one?Don't Fear the Reaper.
>>741950221its just a shitty car dude you think the actual big fishes care about that nonsense
>>741944197Johnny has no "solutions" and his entire anti-corporate rhetoric is just a marketing tool he used to sell albums, and then later drank his own kool-aid. If you pay attention to the events of his life, Johnny at the end of the day is part of the system he claims to hate, even going so far as to fight in a corporate war on behalf of Militech. Johnny isn't a rebel; he's a sellout & a narcissist with anger issues obsessed with delusions of grandeur, and it's why he doesn't have an issue with the direction Kerry took the band after Johnny left. Samurai is controlled opposition the corporations allowed to draw up gangers into fighting in their corporate wars.
>>741953018Wasn't Samurai founded only after the war?
>>741953152No. Johnny started Samurai with Kerry, Alt, and a few others. Then he signed on to be part of Morgan Blackhand's op for militech in the 4th corporate war, left the band, and got flat-lined by Smasher in the op.
>>741943081He has the common affliction of correctly diagnosing the problem while proposing the most bombastic and short sighted "solution" which didnt get near as much thought as was put towards the diagnosis. The fact that youre gonna die anyway does a lot of the work of making that kind of solution attractive.>>741943665The reason it's arasaka ends up being about a girl, which i think is a tired copout trope even though I like the game. Same thing that fucked up Severance season 2 in my opinion
>>741943424The best actors can flip thier persona on a dime. Bill Skarsgard plays a terrifying Pennywise but would be totally chill with the kid actors in between takes. It's quite literally the entire point of acting, you get paid to play pretend versions of yourself
>>741943081>keanu chungusthis shit was so fucking silly, they couldn’t possibly have gone with a worse choice
>>741952686It's rather a way to an ending of your choosing. The only cyberpunk route imo. Healing asthma sprays are unfun.
>>741953404Alt dies because of Johnny's anger problems getting the best of him & unplugging Alt without knowing what the hell he's doing. Alt's death is entirely his own and he uses Arasaka as a scapegoat for his own problems. If he stormed mikoshi & calmed down a bit to release her properly then Alt would still be alive.
>>741953723He fell into the Harry DuBois trap, which is pretty on brand
>>741953924Just very common for humans in general. Fuck something up and blame someone else
>>741953723Technically Alt was already dead. What he did was prevent her engram from getting Alt's body.
>>741953486you should watch his new film barbarian
LIFE IS MOVEMENT
Having a companion in a game is more fun when you can enable their bullshit and bad decisions
>>741953970A story about the human condition? Derivative cdpr hacks
>>741953486Is this babie's first deep thought? Obviously most horror movies are fun behind the curtains. Often enough you see a smirk at the end of a cut when a zombie or whatever monster screams and yells. I love to watch out for them. Despite the advent of horror it's still a silly genre. Not talking a24, that's just propaganda.
>>741953723>Alt's death is entirely his ownhow's he supposed to know plugging her out would kill her? its not the matrix, plugging people out of the net doesn't kill them
>didn't really want to fuck River>Went theough it anyway to force Johnny to take pig dickHow do you like them apples, Hoss?
>>741955861I fucked kerry, it was awkward
>>741955443Yes it does. There's multiple side quests with net runners trapped in the net, and they always include someone explicitly telling you not to just yank it till after some procedure is done or theyll be fried
>>741956004I didn't follow up on most of Kerry's quests after getting the band back together.I found his character kind of annoying.
>>741944421No, it doesn't jannies ban umamusume posters and purge all threads, and people complain about them all the time. It's all on /vm/ and /vg/ now.
>>741943081No he wasn't, Arasaka is the best chance humanity has against the rogue AIs past the blackwall
>>741956030From what I heard that is something the game made up and in the tabletop and according to lore it doesn't kill netrunners to unplug them though it can do some damage.
>>741956495Arasaka killed global shipping. If this shit was better written Cyberpunk world would look more like Fallout New Vegas. Arasaka shouldn't even exist because they would've committed multiple genocides with that epic gamer move which would unite the world to nuke Japan into nonexistence.
>>741956935Arasaka and NUSA control low and high orbit with a weapon that intercepts ICBM and MIRVs. Besides they already nuked themselves two times in the previous corporate wars. At this point no one cares.
>>741956495The same people that put self replicating AI mines in the ocean? Those guys?
>>741956495Arasaka uses the AI for their own benefit, though, and it's why they have programs like soul killer to begin with. The corpos keep it "controlled" only so they can use it for their own control over humanity. You break the black wall, the corpo's lose their control, at the cost of releasing rogue AI demons everywhere.
fuck arasaka
>>741957407Would if 300lbs
>>741943424https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuquoZjhTS8
>>741957407it's a shame this pic is the only good pic of this bitch, even the rest of its set is trash
>>741943743nah reeves is perfect because silverhand is talented but egotisiical wanker high on his own supply. the catch is that living in a world of shit made him that way and his commentary on the world being shit is accurate
>>741958065Reeves is a charisma void though
>>741956935>which would unite the worldyou're naive, if the same thing happened to us tomorrow nobody would do a thing
>>741958286You don't know enough about shipping.
>>741958376maybe, but you overestimate the goyim
>>741957906>set That's fugtrup, he only made 3 shit bj Hanako pics.All of his images are bait trash desu. Probably because he's actually gay.
>>741958107if you haven't noticed, nobody actually likes johnny silverhand outside of the people that wanted to fuck him
