anime made me realise the tower ending truly is the best option
>>750219585I miss watching CP'77
i love CP
>>750219585The aesthetic of this season doesnt grab me at all
>>750219716The pacing is really off-putting in comparison to S1's. By the end I hardly cared about any of the characters and did many few second skips.
I wish I had a daughter.
>>750219902Tbf the pacing in season 1 also wasn't great, it's way too fast and then way too slow before picking back up again, but that's alleviated with really cool characters with iconic designs. Season 2 definitely has Season 2 syndrome where no fucking shit none of the characters were going to be as cool or iconic, but also we haven't learned how to adequately pace the show
>>750220620S2 has a lot of "blink and you'll miss it" scenes, like Avida mentioning that Talia has been hanging out will Maelstrom only for the last several weeks, or that you can hear her escaping from the hospital when King talks to his doctor, or that Roman and Talia were calling one another during D's revenge rampage.
>black woman lies to man about child's parentagemany such cases
How would getting a blowjob from a girl like Talia feel?
>>750221351Go ahead, put it in
>>750219716Really? I actually like this season’s aesthetic way more than s1 with stuff like Roman’s videos and the D dream sequences. Probably because director did episode 6 of s1(the best episode).
>>750221674
>>750219585I liked the characters this season, I just wish they had more time to go through their stories like maybe one or two more episodes would have helped. I also liked Weak, him continuing on despite being stripped from all his power and status and hitting rock bottom, he was able to push through and survive.
>>750219585Endings that fit the main story's tone:TowerTemperanceDevilSuicideEndings that fit the open world's tone:SunStarSeeing as, you know, the open world and the main story are basically two different games mashed together with a huge amount of tonal dissonance.
>>750222772What's wrong with the Sun ending? I got that one first and liked it a lot.
Talia and Roman are cute! CUTE!Also I'm not reinstalling just for one mission, what's the quest they added that apparently connects to season 2 in 2077?
>>750222772I would actually like Temperance more if you didn't have to give Johnny your body. I just want to peace out with Alt after killing off half of Arasaka's staff, I'm not really cool with Johnny leading everyone along while also blowing them off.
Hope wins?
>>750222489>>750219585>magical black woman calls to save his lifeLike the message but the way it started undermines the message no magical ex is gonna call you when you are at your lowest.
>>750219585>datamining indicates there was meant to be a new addition to The Devil ending if you took songbird's deal, where after getting the Johnny castration surgery V's brain would begin to heal back to normal thanks to the treatment both V and songbird got>V would then either pass a loyalty test with Arasaka, joining up with Hanako directly, or refuse/fail it, and go home while Arasaka nervously side eyes youAn actual happy ending was in the works and got cut. Well, a happy ending for V, everyone else in that timeline is 100% fucked.>saburo's ghost now inhabits his son, Arasaka is stronger than ever>Relic tech is going to take over the world, the elite will live forever while hijacking their children's bodiesHorrific.
>>750223297Wrong city, but the right people.
>>750223158King calls V, and you do a gig to save the spic techie from his group from prison in the first episode Miguel, the one who beat the shit out of King in the Afterlife after. You get a disguise that is just King's outfit and his revolver.It's at least more involved then Season 2's one where you just watch the same Braindance David did in some random trash can, text Falco and Lucy let's him give V David's paramedic jacket.
>>750222772Star is the letting go and accepting your fate ending with a new family though, which is fine (except they fuck it up by implying there is some research site the Aldecados are gonna hit to help V)Sun and DFtR is pure wish fulfillment though.
>>750223297We fall so we can get back up again.
>>750223350true, I should have worded that better, but it definitely shows that they had too many different character plots without enough time to flesh them out more.>>750223297I liked that scene where Weak strips away from his jacket and runs forward, leaving behind his past life as King, that was kino.
>>750219585(Don't) fear the reaper is objectively the best
>>750223806I don't see how Sun is wish fulfilment unless you believe that V can survive that last job and Blue Eye's is going to cure him. (which I personally don't and even if he can Blue Eye's is going to make you his bitch)
>>750219585>anime made me realise the tower ending truly is the best optionAnime made me realize that leaving Night City with Panam is the best ending.
Pretty surprised with the ending of the show. Kind of went in expecting to like D but King and Talia I ended up liking more.
>>750224461This.
>>750224461killing yourself and having yorinubo win best for the world
>>750223538>roman>hopekid was 200% autistic, he was watching people get executed daily and his primary concern was getting a good angle and lighting on it
any chances of D or Capri getting a ref in the newest update like Rebecca
>>750224562I was the opposite, D won me over in the end with him and the tomboy girl arguing in front of the van and fighting, and the episode after where he's talking about seeing his dead clan to Roman on the street while looking for Kyoko.
>>750224370I helped Songbird to the spaceport and then handed her over to Idris Elba when she admitted she fucked me over
>>750224461ok I will spell it out: what does it mean to have a "best" ending?
>D didn't just fuck Yupi or OmiWhy is he gay?
>>7502258453dpd
>>750219585SPONGEBOB ME BOY!
>>750224370Attacking a Spaceport at the behest of an AI is how Neuromancer's protag got all his shit
D did nothing wrong
>>750219585https://youtu.be/QM-JaRci_AM
>>750225181he is prime XBD scroller material, needs someone like judy as a mentor, the fact that talia's freaky creepy crawlie body does not freak him out at all means he has lots of potential
>>750225181that is until brown cyber puss changed him
>>750225845Not even two (2) ride-or-die gfs can compete with a single BPDaemon.
>can't play until they update the modssee you next month chooms
>>750224370Blue Eyes is just the Mr.House of Night Corp. He won't fuck you over.
>>750226681you didnt disable updates?
>>750226483Roman makes it pretty clear that BD =/= film, thought it's never really explained in universe why a person's eyes, especially enhanced, wouldn't be a perfectly good substitute for a camera.Have to assume the human eye's limitations and quirks are part of it>peripheral vision is actually dogshit, you're really just seeing a small cone in front of you, humans just never notice the edges>blind spots that are pasted over by the brain>nose>tracking errors where the eyeballs actually shut off mid rotation to stop you getting motion sick>human eye FPS is ???but wouldn't they fix those with enhancements? Seems kind of stupid to just say the camera and the BD are different and say no more.
>>750227128i got distracted
Why was King so stupid about not checking if Talia was his daughter?
>>750227539ain't got enough money to buy no biotechnica paternity test, niggahe bribed that nurse like 573 eddies exactly, that was all he had left
do we get king's glasses in game
>>750227613isn't that basically $5?
>>750227539He wanted to believe
>>750227651yeah, you get his whole outfit + gun. Gun is pretty awesome
Wait does the blonde kid actually get the brown robo pussy?
>>750227748absolutely rekt it
>4 character plots in 10 episodeswhat a horrendous retarded choice
>>750227665Rebecca tips David 500 and he thinks that's crazy money for what little work he did carrying a package across town, so at least in the anime I guess not.
>>750227748well her jaw wasn't there but they basically kissed at the end
>>750227829>>750227872I kneel. This was probably the 'either the loli stays or we leave' of the season.
Is Talia even going to live that long?
>>750227264A BD is different than just a recording taken from the eyes, it's a neural scan of a lived experience. You're forced to feel the same things the person taking the BD has felt or what the BD Editor has altered the BD to make the user experience. That's why thst BD dealer in Season 1 nearly drives David crazy by spamming an enhanced BD of a cyberpsycho attack over and over.Romans main point is that a Film transcends the artist and actors. The viewer and their experiences and how they reflect on the film based on that is completely unique, which is the whole point.
>>750227264>thought it's never really explained in universe why a person's eyes, especially enhanced, wouldn't be a perfectly good substitute for a camera.no storage or extremly limited storagespace that gets uploaded to the corpos.the recording bd cyberware is just a harddrive and universal file converter so a normal user can actually get to the recordings.
this is what constitutes as a cyberpunk song these days? Jesus....https://youtu.be/eWmyfIZEdXM
Why is Kang Tao the focus of season 2?
>>750228213because your V crippled Arasaka
>>750228213Because we already did Arasaka last time
>>750227975>You're forced to feel the same thingsBD tuners all talk about dialing down whatever feelings they please. Couldn't you just mute them all?Forgetting BD entirely, surely there's an ocular implant that has a camera record function.Basically I'm just saying his obsession with old cameras is retarded. Surely if you wanted to capture things perfectly using your own enhanced eye is better than a clunky, external device
>>750228213I guess so they could keep doing asians since they're just the china corp.
>>750228213desu I think it's because they were very much underused compared to the other corpo in the game. they are only there for a few sidemission and the Panam shitI hope the sequel or edgerunner 3 will finally show Nightcorp, they are supposed to be super big but we almost never see them
>mecha kaiju That seemed a bit over the top for the setting
>>750219585>Don't Fear the Reaper>Keep your body>Blaze of glory on the jewish space station or potentially healed
>>750228291It's obviously a niche interest and he's 12. It's not going to be a logical infatuation with the medium. It's like a kid insisting on using a film camera vs digital. Probably mostly because he just happened to find his parent's old camera.
>>750227949Probably. She's in the same boat as V either way, just happier about it.
>>750228605The Cyberskeleton looked pretty goofy too. That was just a Trigger moment. But yeah, personally I would have preferred Talia going Psycho in a more conventional loadout of implants
>>750219716I liked it a lot. Especially capri and super sand D
Edgerunners just made me more interested in another Cyberpunk game over Witcher with Ciri over Geralt.
I hate how "don't fear the reaper" can be super easily missed if you just picked one wrong option in an optional dialogue, even if you are cool with Johnny 80% of the time
>>750228605One of the funnier bits was Talia's dad being like >How could she do this to me
>>750228649>trusting a literal glowie>everngmi
I know the "suicide" ending doesn't give any achievements because they don't want people to do it as a message for players, but the way it was presented was oddly well written, like, how both V and Johnny are at peace and spend their final moments actually talking with each others. Most players won't see this ending as a result.Everyone else takes it very badly of course. and the city doesn't give a damn.
>brings a stinky nomad stranger to his home>dad is cool with itRomans dad was sweet
>>750228605It's actually not if you read the book, hell there's a lot of even weirder things. the game is just a lot more tame (probably because they half wanted the GTA audience for the base game), but it's implied it still exist even if you don't see it. I hope the sequel shows the most insane things now that they have an audience who is cool with it. The DLC already was showing more insane stuff.
>>750225934I'm glad I only found this out after finishing the season
>>750228910My issue with it is the way you have to do the graveyard scene feels a bit schizo>You're the guy who saved my life :)>BUT YOU FUCKED UP OUR RELATIONSHIP YOU CUNT>But I'll give you one more chance :)I would get it if it was just calling him out, it's the whiplash that confused me.
>>750228862it's already confirmed in development. CD projekt are fucking big nowadays.
>>750228189It's no I really Want to Stay at Your House but I still like it. It's sweet.
>>750228910Yeah it's a bummer. It's a very stupid method to access it and it makes The Sun ending nonsensical since Rogue is still alive. Honestly I find it kind of overrated
husband status: pre-ordered
>here kid, have a nugget
wow that exposure looks like ass i can't into handbrake sorry guys
Anyone make a gif of Talia leaving the hospital after pushing through her mom and flipping over King. That exaggerated wave as she slips through the door is really cute.
>>750229371Isn't she also a kid? she just look like that because she's a megacyborg and also she was with the wrong crowd (the malestrom are not good people)
>first 4 episodes were all about establishing what is cyberpsychosis>again
>>750229532we know roman is 12 for a fact and she's probably like 16 so if you age them up to like 22-26 it's really not much of an age gap
>>750228605I thought it was more weird that King had so little presence in the final showdown, I was expecting him to get picked up by Roman and D's childhood friend.
>>750229569this scene was not necessary
>>750229569this scene was necessary, for me
>>750219585It wasn't quite as good as the first season but I still really liked it. I appreciate that they did something different and didn't just go for the super miserable ending again like everyone was expecting. They actually subverted expectations in a good way
>boy feetWhere your uoh'ing, I can not follow.
I actually liked this season more than last.I was a bit iffy the first two or so episodes because the art direction was a bit different, but it grew on me pretty fast.Also fuck Kang Tao, all my homies hate Kang Tao.
>>750229532We only know she's a teen so I would assume she could be anywhere between 14-18. At which case the biggest age gap is six years, which isn't that big of an age gap. Assuming she's around that long.
>>750229371Surely they could get her a new mouth
>>750229569Tell me about Roman, why does he wear the slut choker?
Called it that it'll be a massive downgrade from Season 1 when it was announced that Imaishi isn't involved.
>>750229747Weak is there as a direct foil to both Ds who both go out in a hopeless self-aggrandizement. Weak humbles himself metaphorically and literally and escapes Samsara.
>>750229532I figured she was like 15
>>750229642I'm pretty sure they wrote out his part in it for a happy ending. Everything was pointing towards him getting desperate enough to save Talia that he'd reactivate what cyberware he had left, which had come up multiple times but was never actually capitalized on. Him doing that and dying to save her would've likely made her wake the fuck up, but it seems that they just cut it entirely so that we didn't get another bitterseet end.
>>750229006kinda ironic considering that of everyone that V deals with in that DLC Solomon was the only one that kept his word.Hell, it would have been less of a hassle to zero V after he gets put under for a fake operation but instead he actually does get treated for what he's got.
>>750229839>>7502296074 years or more would still be strange. You don't usually see this and you change a LOT when you are around that age, very quickly too.Hell I had a gf who was 13 when I was 16 but that only worked for a bit because I was very stupid and she was smarter than me. and I still was super afraid it was weird back then.
>>750229895Or at very least slot in a non-cybernetic faceplate to keep her mouth cavity sterile.
>>750229642I was expecting more interactions between the cast period but all you really get is that scene at the episode 4/start of 5. King interacted with Roman what, twice the entire show in one episode? D basically interacted with only Roman and Talia at the end.
>>750228291This is like telling an oil painter he's retarded for not using photoshop and a printer. The whole point of using a camera is to emulate the restrictions and therefore the style of the old films he likes.
>>750229642bro was already collecting death flags like stickers and still failed to cash in all of them, he fucking charged the kaiju with his ex's ashes strapped to him and still lived
>>750230072I assume people are talking more about the idea of them getting together when they're older since when you're out of your teens an age gap like that isn't much while during them it's massive.
>>750229223You didn't hear it immediately?
>>750229642I feel like King he's their what if scenario if David somehow survived and lived long enough to become a miserable bum, he ain't allowed to go in a blaze of glory.
>>750229569>>750229723>>750229917I still think Roman happened because higher-ups at CDPR didn't want to repeat Rebecca situation, contractually obliged Trigger that Season 2 must have no loli, and someone was smart enough to see the obvious loophole.
>>750230072>He think's Talia is going to live longer then a yearlmao, she's fucked. She's barely any different to V.
>>750219585>failed at everything>got his exwife and friends killed>only managed to save his stepdaughter thanks to D and even then she's dyingTruly inspirational
>>750230356I will choose to believe this.
>>750227467rebecca, my love!a coping part of me hope that rebecca is a part of capri.
>>750228213V raped Arasaka by this point, they're falling apart in Edgerunners 2, also no Adam Smasher
>>750219585Every time I play CP77, I remind myself that the game is disappointing, so I stop playing it and uninstall it.Anyway, Omi is the best girl.
Anyone else felt like Avida was a caricature of the hideously ugly corporate art drawings?
>Better men west:(>Better men japan:)How did they do it?
How long after 2077 is Edgerunners even? Would V still be in their coma in the tower ending?If anything I guess any ending besides Devil can be canon since that's the only one where Arasaka isn't up shit creek.
>>750230462>a coping part of me hope that rebecca is a part of capri.she did a lot of her poses
>>750230438That's kind of the point. His entire arc with Talia is the acceptance of Death. He serves as a counterpoint to both Ds in the series wherein he accepts his shortcomings and doesn't rely on chrome, he escapes the cycle of cyberpsychosis to protect a loved one.He could have chromed the fuck up again and rocked shit but this would have left Talia without any father figure in her final days, he's humbled himself instead of becoming a vain-glorious martyr.
>>750230591Don't forget the suicide ending
>>750228605I honestly would've preferred it if it were just Capri making an exhibition of just how lethal Talia's regular cyberware could've been if she'd snapped.
>>750230591S1 happened before 2077 starts (2075? 2076?). S2, I dunno.
>>750230480would 'saka even risk Smasher on AI-alarm being raised? I know he's on like triple ice to bail him from netrunners but Capri didn't really struggle with hacking anyone or anything>>7502305912078 apparently so a year
>>750230426>Yo, V, You find the solution to your biochip problem on your last gig>Nah choom, just more cures to rare neurological diseases and an Engram of David Martinez
>>750219585>season 1: street>season 2: nomad>season 3: corposaved the best for last
>>750230695Same. I was really hoping she'd go full murder spider instead of kaiju shrimp
>>750219585I tried watching the new season of Edgerunners and holy shit I could not fucking stand the look of it. Every single one of the characters is just offensively ugly in design.
>>750230730Oh SHIT I didn't even consider this
>>750219585does everyone die in this anime again?
>>750230730If it happens I do hope they real it back to a singular protagonist focus. Season 2 hopping between Talia and D's storylines with Roman as a passive observer wasn't to my tastes.
>>750230680Yorinobu would still be in charge then wouldn't he, and he's intentionally tanking Arasaka. It wouldn't be that different to the Tower ending in that regard since Takamura and Hanako evidently can't handle it alone.
>>750230847No**yes, off screen
>>750230847No, it's pretty much the opposite.
So what ending /v/ get, are they okay
>>750230847Surprisingly no. A bunch of characters die obviously but of the four protagonists only one.
>>750228605It gave us this kino shot so I'm not complaining
>>750230941but I thought the point of cyberpunk is that there are no happy endings, as stated by CDPR's hack writers themselves.
>>750219585Finished season 2. It was 6/10
>>750230730Since arasaka is FUCKED and it would retread the game too much, which corpo would be the best?Could also be a minor corpo too, or even a foreign one...
>>750230564it's a 50/50 between her being a jab at Alegria or the kind of design nu-CDPR actually likes
>>750231029biotechnica
>>750231025Well it's more like everyone lives long enough to become miserable
>>750231025I think it was more by V. Also don't forget that CDPR only co-own a lot of the project, the original creator still has his hand and approves everything. dude loved the anime as he's one of those "OG foreign anime fans" from the 80s.
>>750231065This would be the best, big enough to be important, not as important as nightcorp, is barely seeing in the game so it could show new things too.
>>750230890i think the writer really wanted to have a cast with atypical heroes but he couldn't come up with a plot that neatly ties their stories togethermerry bands of misfits aren't a trope for nothing
>>750231025it's actually not the tagline at all. mike pondsmith, at the start of every session he runs states that you might not be able to save the world but you can always save yourself. it was never depression, that was just CDPR's thing. he's a hopemaxxer.
>>750231025Yes and no.It's not the perfect fairy-tale ending, Talia will still due of her degenerative disease. They've all undoubtedly got millions of eddies on their heads for that cluster fuck too.This seas on was a bit more subtle in it's themes, and they likely wanteds to avoid another misery fest or run the risk of becoming Warhammer-lite.
>>750231094Pondsmith seems like a real nigga
>>750224370mr. Blue Eyes helped Songbird and will help us. Trust the plan
Did any of you notice that King and Avida have a matching golden finger, and that it's the only part of his limbs that he kept after going psycho?
>>750223350I feel like this applies to the entire cast except Roman since he didn't really have any serious conflict. D doesn't stop his revenge arc voluntarily, he stops because someone else killed the person before him. Talia doesn't lay off the chrome and accepts her illness, they just take it away from her. Like sure it's realistic I guess? But I didn't find it that entertaining, there was no climax or payoff to their stories other than D reuniting with Capri I guess.
>>750231029Which corpos have a presence similar to Arasaka?I'd assume either Miltec or Biotechnica. Miltec because they have their hands in lots of pies but Biotechnica have a sizable presence in NC's underground.
>new update feature King's gang>as voicesGoddamnit i was curious to find out how the anime designs would translate to the game
>>750229532She's probably around 14 or 15
>>750228605FUCKING MAGNETS but why was D also able to magnetize shit too?
>>750231225it was the safest bet to not even attempt it. it never really works.
>>750230995WEW LAD
>>750231225they would look ugly as fuck, god I hope orion has a different style I would HATE to see any attempts of translating the edgerunner characters into the realistic style of 2077
>>750231184He really is, read some of his game books, dude is was really cultured for the time. even if there's a few weird things here and there but it's soulful.I'm not saying this to shit on CDPK because I still like the game, but there's a lot of unused potential, some which was used better by the animeI hope they will try less to focus on the GTA audience for the sequel game, this clearly hindered some part of the base game. less the DLC though.
>>750231025It's not a happy ending.D and Capri die, whether or not they magically jumped to a satellite is unknown but the answer should be no, given that she couldn't do it before and being limited to human bodies is an express part of her design. D never got revenge, all he managed to do was stop caring about his dead clan because a digital tulpa distracted him.King is never going to get his old life back, he's going to be a cripple for life and the love of his life died in front of him.Talia is going to die of her incurable degenerative disease.Roman is a femboy in night city who implicitly trusts creepy lolibabas even when they are very obviously using him, even going so far as to meet them in person alone. He will be snatched within the year.
>>750231238Run-off from his time with Capri.He spent the most time with her but her "ghost" was fading quick, seems to have been similar to the bleed we get with Johnny like how V can play guitar.
>>750230995>some maelstrommer rigged this upAPOLOGIZE
>>750230730>>season 1: loli>>season 2: shota>>season 3: ???
>>750231165>merry bands of misfitsExcept they're never together, it's basically three different stories vaguely connected by Roman but pretty sure the only time all the characters are together is like 2 minutes in the dinner.
>>750231316Roman will return as the head of the Valentinos with a harem of teen latinas
>>750231381season 3: HAG
>>750231381F U T A CHADS RISE UP
>>750231378Never, you chrome addled scav fucker.
>>750231381season 3: futa
>>750230995Roman gets to fuck this?!?!?
What odds does Talia even have? Capri was what was keeping her stable and she's still dying from her disease, would she even be able to afford treatment for long with her corpo dad dead and only having King to provide for her?
>>750231416>season 3 gives us a corpo OL hag in a pencil skirt with stockingsgod my dick would explode
>>750231378Maelstrom are KoS+No Survivors in game fir me which is sorta too bad because when they're not the scum of the earth they seem sorta chill.
/v/ acting all high and mighty as if a good part of that god wretched place would not end up with the Raffen.
>>750231025>but I thought the point of cyberpunk is that there are no happy endingsNo, CDPR is retarded. You can absolutely get a happy ending. There's more in the setting than just "die like a bitch and hopefully someone will name a drink after you." You can claw your way to to top of the mountain, and if you're good enough, stay there. That's literally the point of the TTRPG: fighting your way out of the deep shit that drowns everyone else. It's extremely dangerous and you're very likely to die along the way, but you CAN do it.
>>750231434then I curse you with the knowledge that Talia was held under anesthesia in abandoned warehouses, completely nude, while surrounded by maelstrom boys numerous times through her teen yearsIMAGINE
>>750231509most of /v/ would become either scavs or scav food
>>750231410wtf roman is literally me
biggest mistake of season 2 is that there is no memorable locationfans of s2 are never going to have the equivalent of coming here while stay at your house is playing
>>750230847No, and a lot of people think D is dead but he went to space
>>750231416>old ass spider leaving her hacker cave and suiting up to help some plucky young netrunners
>>750231585roman's place is in the game
>>750231529Maelstrom don't give a fuck about sex and shit, it's disgusting to them.They'd sooner rip out her junk and replace it with some nice chrome
>>750231459I'd assume her parents had pretty lucrative life insurance policies, however she's a dead woman only chance she has is to ditch her implants and hope another piece of relic tech falls into her lap.
>>750231620CHROME COCKS, IN EVERY HOLEA TALIA SKEWER
>>750231585I like that the final scene is the place where I always get cops after me
>>750231025I would have called it more bittersweet. Roman got off the easiest, D is dead or sitting in a satellite with Capri, King lost his abilities and the woman he loved and basically only has Talia, and Talia isn't out of the woods but they leave it open enough that maybe this mystery clinic can help her or not, but she's going to live her life as much as she can regardless of that.
>>750230995Damn
>>750231443>>750231423>>750231381futa chads we run this joint
>>750231626>and hope another piece of relic tech falls into her lap.Even if it did, it would rewrite her brain even if it healed her like what happened with V
>>750231459dechrome for a while and if the brain is still mostly healthy go full borg
>>750231751>brain is still mostly healthits not
>>750231459She likely inherited her Corpo dad and mom's wealth, but who knows how long that will last. Maybe an AI will recruit her for a mission in exchange for a cure to her incurable disease. That genuinely happens a lot in this setting. It happened to V like 3 different times.
>>750231734i'd suck her cock
>>750231734I highly doubt they would center a season around faggots
>>750231795not if i suck yours first choom>>750231834>futa>gay???
>>750231025The point of cyberpunk is that tech has become invasive to every part of life and corporations have nothing to keep them in check.Consumerism won and you're product with interchangeable parts.The TTRPG does it a bit better but you're encouraged to play it like something of a weekly show. You can break out of the bullshit, but its never gonna be easy.
You think Blackwall AIs are just chilling talking to Aliens and shit and they keep the humans in a constant state fucking eachother over so they're too busy to bother them?
>>750231459However much of a chance you want her to have. You're never going to see these characters again so take as much hopium as you want in regards to her fate.
>>750231871>sucking penis>confused why it's gay?
How many browns are in this anime? I wish Talia was just Chinese instead of half.
>>750231751Talia's issue is her disease killing her flesh body not cyberpsychosis
>>750231920Only Talia and her mom pretty sure
>>750231887>The point of cyberpunk is that tech has become invasive to every part of life and corporations have nothing to keep them in check.Hey, it's currently happening, but without the cool shit
>>750231735If you didn't Soul Killer her first before writing her onto the chip.Capri's existence is weird, supposedly hundreds of minds rolled into one weapon with Blackwall capabilities. Did she Soul Killer D and herself at the end?
>>750231920We already had yellow fever last season with Lucy so logically the next seasons love interest will be negro maxima
D also being David felt like a weird addition
>>750232036why when this one had avida
>>750232037Yeah, that felt like a very clunk tie in
>>750232037>street kid David>nomad Davidseason 3 corpo David
>>750231735V's issue was brought about by the fact he had the chip in when he was killed though right? The idea is >Take relic with loaded engram>Stick into dead body>Hijacks and jumpstarts the bodyBut because V got killed with it in it jumpstarted his body and also started the overwrite while he was alive.
>>750232017If Musk gets his way, we'll start on that path by 2030.Trust the plan.If WW3 doesn't wipe out enough of the population to adequately ruin the plans for control, anyway.We might end up in the future with robot soldier waifus.
>>750232025That's the implication that she put copies of them into the satellite they looked up at before the airstrike hit
>>750232129and the chip got damaged
>>750231986>>750231775she's still risking psycho from the stressCapri supposedly did run repair program on the brain but the bitch was not only having neurological issues but also was going psycho so her condition getting worse can be either thing resurfacing. Given that they rip her mandibles module out it's probably more the psycho thing since last time we saw her she was wheelchair bound and not cane-assisted>>750231891the AIs are literal demons from hell, doubt they'd care about aliens
This was much better than season 1, and was much more of what I was expecting from trigger touching this IP.
>>750232036To be honest Talia doesn't look black at all, she looks like those old school 80s "Japanese anime girl but brown just because." Still a shame though, since she's got such a great design.
Goddamn I love this IPTTRPG, game, anime, triple kino
>>750222772The tower ending made me cry. I’m convinced they saved it for the DLC cause if it was in the base game whatever ending they made after the fact would seem retarded and dumb
>>750232221>AIs are literal demonsOkay, I'll bite. Elucidate.
>>750232170as if the IRL datakrash doesn't happen in the next 5 years, which is now a possibility, as horrible it is to say... Things are really not good...
>>750231891No anon. Blackwall AI's are genocidal and actively hate humans. Them getting out is apocalyptic in nature, if they're talking with ayys its about how much humans suck and how they should kill us all.
>>750232304I'm personally not a fan of hair vents and her feet design is a little over the top but overall she's pretty good. I like her best in her street clothes though.
>>750232290char arcs that don't evolve?
>>750232036Lucy looks more Polish than yellow
>>750232170god yes please make nikkes real
>>750232393In this time frame? Not necessary. Static characters can be very effective if they don't overstay their welcome.
>>750232364>if the IRL datakrash doesn't happen in the next 5 years, which is now a possibilityonly humanity already established NetWatch, it's called CloudFlare
>>750230569It helps that Weak never feels like someone acting out of infatuation. Avida's lie was completely unnecessary and extremelly mercenary, it just shows how little she understands him and how she even got to become a corpo wife in the first place. He genuinely cares about Talia from the get go and even helps her disable her tracker despite that not being what Avida wants. Kingsley is the kinda guy who would help her just because and feel glad about doing so all the while, since it gave him a goal and helped pull him out of his suicidal depression.
I dislike most of this season's soundtrack.
>>750232342netrunner guru Bartmoss, the very same responsible for datakrash, speculated that opening of transcended net opened a literal gate to hell
>>750232364That Huggingface shit was basically a massive alarm going off saying "OH SHIIIIT NIGGAAAA" to the entire world.I'd be VERY surprised if the internet as we know it exists in 10 years.
>>750232507Nah it's way betterhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K89Lw83Qvgwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcKvndexQYEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6hOlik58ggS2 mogs S1 tbqh
>>750232129I guess but for the nanomachines in the chip to heal her they would have to rewrite her, since thats the purpose of the relic. Though if technology to heal V's brain from a headshot exists I guess Talia could find a way to cure her illness too.
>>750232451but they did overstay their welcome, D was the same "fuck arasaka i want revenge" char until the end, roman devolved from a cinephile to not even recording in the last 3 episodes, talia went from a girl obsessed with chrome to...a girl that became a mechnothing happened
>>750232473and it's currently getting fucked because big corpos gave all the tools necessary for even some dumbass to hack most places, all in a name of a so called "progress". the CEOs of these corps should be arrested, it was already bad before but this is now 20 times worse
>>750232415She's actually canonically half Jap half Pol
>>750232532In universe fluff, they aren't literal demons if it isn't in Godvoice.
>>750232565alright now I know s2 enjoyers are only doing it to get replies
>>750230356Season 2 has a loli though.
>>750232551I wish Iran would stop being such pussies and cut the seas cables to India.
>>750232573nah
i maintain that D being stuck with an empty capri for 50% of the season was a massive mistake. their dynamic was starting to get interesting and it just went nowhere until the last 5 minutes of the show
>>750232364It's already starting, we just need someone to vibecode cyberdemons now.
>>750232551Not only these bastards will take every jobs I want, but they even are taking everything I love or making it 30 times worse...Fuck...I guess the so called "great reset" will be by stupid corporation. It's maybe even worse.
>>750232620Nah, I'm convinced S1 fags only hate it because nobody dies and they hate happy/hopeful endings
>>750231423>>750231443Futa opportunity already squandered by making one of the S2 protags go by the name D.
>political faggots thinking anyone cares about their opinionsjust go make a cyberpunk pol thread
>>750232364It will suck.We'll adapt but it will suck.>>750232431Anon, no.Then we'd have to deal with CG bullshit, robot Jesus being an asshole and whatever the fuck nanomachine plague NYMPH really is.I'd take GFL's fractured city-states over Nikke fuckery. Dolls are less unstable than Nikkers.
I feel like D and Talia could have been merged as Characters. Unfortunately drop Omi since she and Roman do a lot if the same stuff narratively.
Narratively most of the other endings make more sense but gameplay wise I want to solo the Tower so that's what I do every time
>>750232738I like character tragedies, but there has to be more of a voluntary vice to exploit. For David and Lucy they had their hangups so the tragedy was warranted. Season 2 everyone feels so innocent except for D. Even King feels kinda like a lost puppy than a hardened merc.
>>750232565It had some alright songs but I skipped the opening and ending every time. Couldn't stand the polish rap, too.
>>750232738NTA but I just think all the characters except D were undercooked in S2. Even then D and Capri needed more time together too for their ending scene to actually hit.
>>750232678We've already done it, most of the big AI corpos are actively trying to spin the fucking filter.
Give it to me straight Anons, do you guys think AI agents are going to completely fuck the internet?Apparently some Chinese agents got out and AI researchers communicated with them.Fuckers are just out there, doing whatever.
>>750233058highly doubt it, ask me this again in 20 years
>>750233058Just a few days ago they did
>>750232765D needed more focus with Capri.Taliah needed more time with Roman and Roman needed more time with everyone else.King needed a little more time to examine his situation and accepting his new lot away from being an edgerunner.Things feel undercooked given that this story takes place over such a short amount of time.
>>750233058Hopefully we can trap them in the chinese internet
Is it a good time to buy the game?
>>750233058not cyberpunk tier but we sure as fuck are gonna get ai powered viruses/malware becoming commonplace as some point
>>750232991>>750233058It's really ironic too, despite all that's happening, government STILL are doing jackshit or even supporting these corpos, and the corpos are like "oh-huh we did a mistake" but outright lies about "fixing things". there's no fix. every criminal can still do what they want. And without even big elaborate ways, no, it's all done easily, anyone could do it if they did some test. All these corporations are LIARSThe only reason these corporations and software still exist is because many government want to use their for their own (likely bad) means.Any decent society would have stopped this years ago. These SHOULD NOT exist. It will destroy our society and ourselves. All for the benefit of...a few? Less than a few probably.
>>750233058"AI getting out and doing X" is pure marketing ploy, just like those sneaky rat jews in Anthropic telling everyone how dangerous their AI is...So Government must pass laws to regulate AI
can't run from me is the only good song on the track
Reminder that AI in Cyberpunk are literally demons from actual hell
>>750233175"trapping" doesn't really work because they were MADE to break shit. Even the fucking closed internet from NORTH KOREA is impacted by this.These corporations deliberately made super dangerous tools, lied about filtering them, gave them to everyone, and pretends it's not their own faults.
>>750225181That sounds pretty normal for night cityDavid was also walking past crime scenes on his way to arasaka school in season 1
>>750233216Because governments are run by people who are too old and set in their ways to be interested in learning the meat and bones of new things that could be a threat to the country. They operate on cliffs notes explanation for things which always fail to underline the severity of anything, and as such are quick to dismiss a lot of things that can have severe ramifications.
>blackwall keeping literal hellspawn demon ai from killing every living being on the planet>except the blackwall is also an ai>its not even foolproof, its basically just playing whack-a-mole>could at any point decide fuck it, and let the ai throughwtf do you even do
>>750233249They don't actually regulate anything, they just lie about doing it.Regulation and restriction would be the minimum, but really, these should simply not exist, and this should have being prevented years ago. Just because something "can be made" doesn't mean it should exist. there's wisdom is admitting this. It brings way too much possible bad. much more than any possible good.
>>750231508what's even the point of that mouth implant?
>>750233410>hese should simply not exist, and this should have being prevented years agogood job, with your thinking China would be 10 years ahead of USA in AI research
>>750233364This.If you ever want to see why shit is fucked, watch Chernobyl. You may think that "haha funny stupid Soviets", but no, every government behaves similarly just says "oh this will increase GDP" instead of "it is for the good of the Prolateriat"
D feels like someone's shitty self insert
>>750233058>Give it to me straight Anons, do you guys think AI agents are going to completely fuck the internet?On the surface level, in approx ten or so years. Most will get pushed deeper and will likely have a layer of new-net shit where most casual users find themselves.Something of a pseudo-deep net. Most normal people will probably abandon the net as a whole.Anything that's casual engagement forms like TY, TicTok and social media will just be bots talking at bots.>Apparently some Chinese agents got out and AI researchers communicated with them.I doubt the validity of it.The short version is that computers are stupid, but stupid people are communicating with and misunderstanding the tech and what it is actually capable of.I'm more worried about it being used in weaponry or machines that have massive potential for loss of human life.All too easy for these fuckers to blame fatal decisions on AI's and part of me worries that's the point.>Fuckers are just out there, doing whatever.Only because they're allowed to be.
>>750233372Tong ending is the only reasonable conclusion at that point
the camera gimmick from roman was really undercooked. i thought we'd get an entire episode at least framed like found footage or something
>>750233372clearly living without augments is the safest thing. but everything in the society of that world try to force you to augment one way or another, even regular people. Just like how everyone in our society want to force us to use internet for everything, internet used to be a different, separate place...
>>750233372Don't replace parts of your body with mechanical ones that can connect to the local wifi?
>>750233479China should also not be doing this, no one should.
>>750232565I like "You can't run from me", but holy shit every single moment it played was awful>Talia trying to kill some random civilian and failing>Talia trying to kill her dad and failingand so on, compare it to S1's Night City Aliens which is pretty similar in intensity and how cool those scenes were
>>750233439Less organic bits that exacerbate Yang's condition. The show kinda hammers you over the head that before she borged up she was sick and in constant pain and chroming up was the only thing that helped alleviate the pain.
>>750233058Yes but real life AI's aren't going to go full Terminator or the Matrix and decide one day they hate humanity. More likely it's going to be like the Broomstick from the Sorcerers Apprentice and someone gives them a combination of too much power and too wide a prompt.
>>750233582>>750233530>*get ran over by an ai controlled car waiting in ambush*heh, nutin personnel
>>750233491this is happening in the UK right now, they are doing super drastic surveillance laws everywhere, even though it was CONFIRMED it's not doing any good, even to those they are supposed to protect. and what is their answer? PUSHING THIS EVEN MORE.And a lot of people want this happening all around the world.
Who's ready for tomorrow mogs the entire S2 soundtrack and it wasn't even the best song from s1
They should make a Cyberpunk game with Yoh Yoshinari as the character designer.
the whole PHP thing is making me sad not just for the current shitshow it's doing, but it's also pretty much killing the remnants of the old internet, as everything will be too unsecured and likely will be forced deleted from the clear net.

>>750233652Bong here, confirmed. Bought a VPN for the first time because I don't want the government keylogging my fucking whatsapp.
>>750233161The thing is that D's revenge plot goes nowhere and Talia could have had the exact same dynamic with Capri if she had slotted the Shard first. She initially wants Roman to record her "Dying Beautiful" but that sort of falls through the cracks as her arc gets dominated by drama with her mom and King instead of interactions with Roman and King.You really could have merged D's whole Storyline into Talia, it just would have been a lot more likely to end in her or Roman or King's death due to all the violence.
>>750233748>both talia and capri becoming obsessed with romancould have been kino
>>750232170>>750232017cyberpunk setting basically went like this>corps become monopolies>they start to wage war with each other via proxy mercenaries>governments dont stop them, or break monopolies, because it predicted the current political correctness and fascism via that way so they are doig this shit while people are arguing about feelings>companies fuck up the environment>then more conflicts>govermenst elect populists that sell citizens to corps, via changing human righst to "employment rights">internet becomes infested by bots and proto AI because of governments and activists and unusuable>corps make new internet, its super shitty and enshitification incarnate>super hacker blows most of it and rolls the free code>internet goes back to old internet status, basically the only escape from corps and the only place to have privacy now>society stagnated because they digitalized everything and got rid of physical media nd storage, meaning that when the new super internet was hacked, a lot was lost, history, records, and tech and knowledge on how to build stuff meaning they are stuck except few companies>humanity finally tries to reach space travel but just cant>no one has pets, except super rich people, not out of necesity, but because they wanted to feel special so they made it impossible for the rabble
>>750224231Weak left the King to accept that he's weak, and now he can walk the path to be Strong.
>>750231920Her being half made her even cuter, Peak delicious brown
seeing all those screenshots and short scenes from the anime made me wish we got a cyberpunk made by japanese devs instead desu.i will never watch this nor play this because the game is absolute ass
>>750233748I could see that.I don't hate D but after the revenge bit he feels like a get out of jail free card for Taliah so she can have her bittersweet ending and Capri has somewhere to go in the end.I agree with >>750233529 that Roman and his gimmick feel underused.
>>750232390>I'm personally not a fan of hair ventsgay
>>750233646>car waiting in ambushMonty Python tried to warn us
>>750219585V isn't like King though. He's got nobody and can't bring himself to leave night city.
>>750232131I look like that and say that
she kinda cute
>>750233439>you will never have a chrome junkie gf and be able to play doom on her faceplateWhy even live
>>750234149wait a minute is that..
>>750234027Depending on how you play it, V does have somebody who wants them to leave with them.V just can't imagine themselves outside of NC. Especially street V, who I feel is the most likely version of the character.
>>750234175she cant even kiss you or suck your dick with those mandibles
>>750233591I agree that's the one thing that could've been better is actual usage and placement of the ost
>>750234175>watching porn on her face while jacking off in front of her
>>750234027Star Ending is pretty much the same as the ending to Season 2. V leaves Night city with Panam and is holding out hope that they may be able to find a solution to V's problem.
>>750234175
>>750230356What situation? becca was not supposed to be, trigger refused, cdpr relented, everyone was happy, cdpr realized its mistake, becca is all around loved char until now. That's the gist I know.
>>750234149ADVERTISER-SAMA, AVERT YOUR EYES
>>750234240I need to see her flustered face after babymaking
Did they dub Kojima’s cameo?
>>750234149it would be terrible if D just gets absorbed into the amalgam that is capri
>>750234365Yeah Joakim Mogren voiced him
>>750231026So was it 2 or 6 or 10 cmon man
>>750230356You do know Rebecca got her own manga right? Approved and written by CDPR?
>>750233884God I love Brown girls

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Duor1qtNGZ8we're back to /tg/
>>750230064He also actually offers to get V a relatively cushy job. Sure one could argue that it’d be a way for NUSA to keep tabs on V and make sure they stay harmless, but all things considered it’s better than being literal fodder with nothing to your name that any dickhead with a modicum of combat chrome could tear in half.
>>750229105I think you see him in a grand total of 4 shots and immediately get an impression that he's the most supportive, chill but not wholly aloof dad someone could ask for.
>>750234603yeah i dont know how the fuck V is gonna do any job without chromei imagine being chromeless automatically makes you a whole lot less qualified for nearly every job
>>750234696V's nervous system just can't handle combat grade cyberware. He can still make use of basic chrome utility like neural ports.
Was Capri only created using women or did they also used men?It would be scary if so...some evil ass Ojisan could be watching trough her and influencing her every time she's with you...>>750234559Does EVERYTHING gets a TCG these days? Do people even plays these instead of just the big ones? Are physical games getting a resurgence?
>>750234553>Ryoko is a girl.It's Kyōko, a believable name pun on 狂子 "Mad girl/kid" which she is.
>>750234484MISTER ADVERTISER GET DOWN
>>750228605I liked it. Reminded me of Roujin Z.>>750231238Maybe this is autist brain, but I thought some of Capri's powers were pushing it a bit. She went beyond being an AI that could hack super good into being a full on electromagnetic being. Which would be cool, but I'm not sure if that was the actual idea or if they just got carried away with stylising the "hacking" too much.
>>750234801>Does EVERYTHING gets a TCG these days?Have you seen the kind of mad money MtG is printing nowadays? Everyone and their mother wants a piece of that sweet pie.>https://www.youtube.com/shorts/zPZ93dKucaE
nightcel despaircucks fear the LIVEmaxxing hopechads
>>750232507I find it comfier but s1 had more hype needle drops.This Fire got me hyped at the start of every episode but 10:15 Saturday Night has a much more laid back vibe which I think sums up s2 well.
>>750219585the ending where you survive and get to chill after kicking everyones ass is obviously the best
>>750234801>Are physical games getting a resurgence?Yes, started with the D&D boom and has spilled into other games, fuckers at work were playing the final fantasy card game.Bitches don't even know about Echoes of Astra.Point being that people like social stuff. Oneday I'll finish that Strange Aeons adventure path.
>>750234149Construssy...
>>750235072Probably also helps that a lot of people are getting fed up with the internet, with all the slop. there's probably a bit less of that in physical games.But physical games can't replace video games, they do not offer the same experiences at all.
>>750234801>Does EVERYTHING gets a TCG these daysBuddy, the Cyberpunk franchise has had a TCG since Netrunner back in 1996.
>>750234801>Was Capri only created using women or did they also used men?For all we know she could even have Johnny and Smasher in her.
>>750231472they're chill if they're not offended by somebody or not on a missionbut damn do they need the cash to maintain their body mod addiction so they do it often enough to be labeled as general scum
>>750235131I'm imagining Talia saying "I'm not kissing you!" over and over while progressively putting more and more of romans face into her mouth hole.
you could delete the camera kid and the story would not have changed at all
>>750235183wow, never heard of this
>>750235260roman is necessary althobeit
>>750235260Roman is an insert for the audience. hence why a lot of the series is from the perspective of his camera and the direction would be significantly more dull without it.
>>750235305>>750235308nah
>>750235236they also just take the augmentations from like, corpses or random people.they will implement them in themselves even if it's not compatible too, all for the love of the game. They would be the kind of people putting windows vista on a shitty underpowered xp computer in 2006 and being happy about it
I really liked the first half of this season but holy shit at anyone saying it was better than season 1>worse music>the interesting dynamic between Roman and D gets lost halfway through, along with the film/art/media thing>D's reveal to Roman about always seeing his burning family already lost impact by sharing it with Omi earlier>Omi did nothing anyway but be there to pickup Talia/Roman when that could've just been King.>King was the actual warrior fell from grace and stepdad meme that people make fun of Kratos for>Yupi was an unintentional parody of liberal white protestors
>>750235170>But physical games can't replace video games,Thankfully, they aren't going to have to.Slop will remain but like TV vs. Theatre both will and can exist simultaneously.Both have their audiences despite the retardation of the industries that surround the medium.
>>750235286Back in 90s everything had a card game - Battletech, Warhammer 40k, Lord of the Rings and so on... the World of Darkness had like three.
>>750235260Without Roman Talia and D wouldn't have come into contact.This isn't like Indiana Jones.
>>750232507I must say that all the featured tracks were very poorly implemented, especially compared to S1's use of music.
>>750235131>>750235246hot
>>750235260Sort of true. He's a pretty passive protagonist. Honestly too many things are spread out over too many characters and too many plots trying to find reasons to come together. Roman and Omi weirdly overlap in regards to trying to get D to stop being autistic, King and Roman are trying to help Talia, whatever. The season definitely felt like two different stories forced to share screen time.
>>750235397Fucking this, I don't get where its coming from that you could remove Roman from the story
>>750219585Hot take, S2 Hope chads > S1 despair cucks
>>750235397they would have passed each other eventually and capri would have jammed herself into her
>>750235478D only got capri because roman pushed to go get the chip, D wasnt even considering that
>>750233884Would you still love her if she grew up to be a rectangle like her mom, bros?
>>750235457true. very true
>>750235516thats fine i would have 7 kids with her by then
>>750235260D is unironically too stupid for the plot to happen with just him. Taliah's plot happens without Roman but she doesn't get the comfort of being able to think she is beautiful and D doesn't go out smiling probably never meeting Capri.
>>750235478They wouldn't have, because D was too retardedly single minded on his revenge against Arasaka that he didn't even give getting Capri's chip any thought.
>>750235380Yeah, there was a massive goldrush and then a burst that massacred most of them.We're just back in another popularity goldrush where MtG and Pokemon got people buying packs like mad again and are waiting for when it's inevitably gonna go bust again.
Talia will live and have Roman's babies (her womb miraculously still works).
>>750235374I think some publishers later will create labels, or even special publishers for only human-made games.But it will be a complete bloodbath on indie developers. It's already hell right now, but the flood will make almost every games being invisible unless you find a publisher to help you (especially if your game is human made), which cost a lot of money.This might end up pushing forward AAA and AA, putting indie on the backside as a result. (I don't include A games because these barely exist anymore, and AAAA is mostly a meme)
>>750228259>>750230480oh its after 2077? kinda sucks they didnt throw in some more references to the past events then
>>750235554>Blonde Haired Daughter>Red Haired SonKino...
>>750235260nah, they should've gave him some time with King, to be the one that spent time with everyone. this could've all been contributing to a film he puts together in the endI was also waiting for some callback to him recording King's psychosis moment in the first place. Another reason for him to have an episode or two with King
>>750235581probably didnt want to spoil the game
>>750234442is it any good? i downloaded it but never got around to reading it
>>750219716the animation in general was much weaker
>>750235552It's kinda weird that despite anime being more popular than ever and TCG making a comeback that there's no new Ani-Mayhem.
>>750235650shit taste ngl
Going so balls deep in Yupi that whoever can manage to pull me out will be named President of Arasaka
>>750235516She's so athletic that wouldn't be a possibility
guys im going to be honestmanic lucy > capri
>>750235801this character doesnt exist beyond that episode
>>750219902The only character's with any development in season 1 were David, Lucy, and Maine. The season falls off after Maine's death with Lucy in the background and David roiding up on implants not learning a thing from Maine because he thought he was special
>>750235260He's a Media, he was observing and documenting their stories. Literally his job!
>Sexiest character has three minutes of screentimeThey did it to me again.
>>750235260If you had no soul you could still survive.
>>750234607I thought it was sweet that Roman seemed to have a stable happy home.
>>750235561We are about to hit a kind of wild-west but most consumers have made it clear they don't want anything to do with AI.Most AI books get slammed, people are laughing at AI movies or effects done with AI etc.With how long it takes for make a game nowadays I imagine that most indie devs will end up getting snapped into smaller corpos that can push out cheaper games in short term.B-game type stuff that will lead to a odd little era that might reignite the console market. Made with AI being a label that most companies want to avoid, think smaller titles with more variety. You want what'd stick after all.Indies I think would return to being a mostly PC affair, it'd become even more of a popularity contest.
>>750235949That's not the BD editing girl.
>>750235434>Roman and Omi weirdly overlap in regards to trying to get D to stop being autisticthis but they giver her a pass because "muh tomboy"
Favorite song in the new soundtrack?https://youtu.be/gKoaAow1XLY
>Muh Clan is DEAD and I can't stop thinking about them and my need for VENGEANGE>You don't understand. The spirits of my family... they haunt my every waking moment!>Huh? Oh yeah. That's Omi. Another survivor from my Clan. We don't really talk muchSo was D just Larping the whole time? Is this the cyberpunk version of a Chunibyo?
>>750233058No, because there are a finite number of security bugs. If a LLM can find and fix all security bugs, then there will be no security bugs to exploit. Unmaintained services will get fucked though.
>>750235552It's not just those two golden rushes, there's ebb and flow to rise and fall of the card games.The old Netrunner got revived as Android Netrunner before dying again, the World of Darkness Vampire game got dragged out of torpor few years ago and still kicks ass. There was another Lord of the Rings card game on the back of the Peter Jackson movies, and then yet another one because the brand wasn't milked hard enough, and so on.Sure most of the money is still in the big three that had the longest continuous run, but there's no shortage of upstarts trying to get a slice of that pie. Disney Lorcana was quite ambitious. There's even one for the Cyberpunk.
>>750236239Dude even looks like fucking Sasuke, he's a super larper
>>750236239>everyone thought his burns were from that event>actually he wasn't even there>actually he already had those in that flashback with OmiOmi really fucks with this story lmao
>>750236239>why does a sasuke expy act like sasuke
>>750236335Based nomad queen
>>750236275Isn't Lorcana pretty much "easier MTG played by mostly women"?
>>750236181i saw a lot of people shitting on the soundtrack but i really like that track, watson, high forever, cant run from me and a rusty dream. really the only song i didnt like is the one of that fag doing a juice wrld impersonation
>>750236239He’s basically Chance from the All Roads FNV comic.
>>750236371I like her design but the color palette and her role in the story is all kinds of fucked.
>>750236275>FemVwhy are they pushing her so hard now? male V has a better dynamic with Johnny
>>750236381the high forever remix is better than the actual song desu, but maybe that's because it sound a little like the shit you had on the internet in the 2000s...I miss that...
>>750236335He probably painted them on himself because he thinks they look cool the autistic fucker.
>>750235949They did it in the game too. The most attractive girls in 2077 are the Clouds receptionist, Rita Wheeler, and Blue Moon and they all have a combined total of maybe 10 minutes
>>750230668A cynic would say he could still chrome out and go on a final killing spree after Talia dies, but that would be rather redundant for his character arc in the show
>>750236418It's really only marketing, a lot of people link male V with the failed launch, so they used female V for the "fixed version" as a way to distance themselves.Male V still get some things from time to time though, he probably also has his own cards
>>750221674What about a footjob?
>>750219585>going with glowies or corpos everNah fuck that temperance or fear the reaper are the best
>>750219716Nothing about the entire franchise grabs me at all. The first act of the game is 30 yo boomers deciding to become da best gangsters in da Crime City, what the fuck were they smoking? And then the anime about a suicidal teenager who pretty much kills himself without any character development, the arc later repeated in S2 with the faceplate pedo gal, again too short to handle the ensemble cast. Is this just the first piece of fiction those people play/watch or what? Pure caca.
>>750236441oh wtf. yeah ive been listening to the remix, didnt even realize there was an original. the remix is surprisingly uplifting
>>750235640It's alright, it's basically Rebecca fanservice for people who wanted more of her. Also gives her brother more screentime since he had barely anything in the show.
>>750233830>humanity finally tries to reach space travel but just cantIncorrectSpace travel is still common, and is much more advanced. Before the night city holocaust, there were already colonies above/ on other planets in the system. Hell, the moon is a luxury vacation spotAND an entire nation rose from the orbital and deep space stations during the 4th corporate war, from the workers and laborers, called the high riders. Who are the reason Africa is a growing power, cause most of them had family there, and controlling orbital trade has made the space people very, very wealthyAnd they won their independence and sovereignty by way of "Our Cargo Slings can also throw fucking asteroids at earth", and they took their independence cause the corps kept using them as railguns and colony drops, so they took the matter into their own hands and threw rocks at earth until they agreed to fuck off and stop using their homes like mobile weapons platforms/
>>750230569It's not preachy about it
Do you think Edgerunners unironically helped save the games reputation? It is thought of in a WAY better light now.
>>750236373>Isn't Lorcana pretty much "easier MTGThat could describe overwhelming majority of physical card games.>played by mostly women"?Frankly, I haven't seen in played outside of store demos, some literal kids and couple MtG "investors" trying to "diversify their portfolio". But I'm from a small city, no idea how it does globally.
>>750219585Tower would only vibe with the anime's "happy ending" if your friends all called you and were so happy you were better and were all looking forward to seeing you later.
>>750236418It's a different V for each background. That one's just the Corpo one.Male V is the Streetkid.Didn't see a Nomad V in the card list though.
>>750236638i think it def made people enjoy the setting more. but i still the game is great by itself
>>750236441really? I prefer the actual version to the remix personally
>>750236407basically just a side character that went beyond the side
I can't take Female V seriously. She's just trying too hard, Male V's accent only really works for Streetkid but during some scenes you can feel him breaking down, like the diagnosis after the Heist
I WILL SEE YOU IN WATSON!!!
>>750233058They still need to be told what to do or given some direction to work towards. The fully autonomous aids rougue AIs in 2077 are way different
>>750220585KIRILLLL TELL ME WHERE MY DAUGHTER IS AND MY WIFE IS YOURS
>>750236783I can tolerate Male V talkin the way he does as a corpo because he did spend like a year living with Jackie in Heywood so I attribute it to him just picking up slang and trying to fit in with Jackie's Crowd.I find it funny in Phantom Liberty when Corpo V starts talking about his read on the situation as an ex Arasaka Counter Intel to Myers or Reed his manner of speaking becomes a lot more measured and professional and then he goes back to the gonk slang.
>>7502335912077 new mission uses that track way way better
any xdcc bots have this up for dl yet?
>>750236638I think it gave people that gave up on release a reason to come back.The anime helped everyone else fall more in love with NC, there is more appreciation for the setting of the game whereas before it was the sandbox you were dropped off in and told its an RPG.Phantom Liberty and the updates that brought turned an alright game into something special for a lot of people.
>>750236638It got people to go back and play it after a ton of updates were put out to fix it. So yeah
>>750236662ai will fix this...we just have to keep holding on..
better than first season for sure, but fuck do these writers suck.
>>750236239Anon did you miss the literal torn to pieces corpses and guts and brains in epiaode 1?
>>750237025Unreliable narrator.
>>750231410>latinas>haremYou must have never met a latina then. They are the most territorial creature to ever walk the earth. In just the last week I've seen TWO separate fights between women over one looking at the other's boyfriend/husband. One resulted in both pulling out a knife.
how are there so many near-lovecraftAHHHSAVERBECYBERNIGGERMAN level malicious AIs in cyberpunk?
>>750230480V for Victory
>>750237130Because some turbogeek hackerman unleased a fuckload of malevolent AIs to destroy the old interwebs and Corporations keep making new ones for dosh.
>>750236672>turning a tabletop RPG into card slopI hope whoever made that image (worse if it is an actual game) dies dressed as a woman via self-immolation with an erection on Twitch.tvCard niggers have no soul.
Don’t fear the reaper sounds like the most cyberpunk ending possible.
>>750237195that seems like a weird thing to be so vitriolic about
>>750237234because it is
>>750237195See >>750235183You are literally 30 years too late to bitch about this.
>>750237130https://cyberpunk.fandom.com/wiki/DataKrash
>>750237130Cool it with the anti-super intelligencism.
>>750237130You know how like half the internet is bots or something? Well apparently 80 percent of cyberpunks internet is full of ai bots that can actually kill you because an asshole hacker who unleashed super virus.
>>750237062Huh? It's literally known as a massacre, Arasaka and Mealstrom talk aboit how there were no survivors on the scene, everyone that was IN the camp was mutilated and killed.
>>750237234Conceptually cool but annoying to access and not well implemented into the narrative. I generally find the normal endings more enjoyable.
>>750237336Just a prank, bro.
>>750237267>local man ruins everything
>be me>see D getting a cute ai gf>hack the blackwall got met my own ai wife>cyber satan possesses my bodyUh oh
>>750237407You're more likely to get black bagged by Netwatch before you can even touch the blackwall.
>>750219585I couldn't root for anyone this season. Just vague character archetypes with empty dialogue. Also D went full edgelord by episode 2. A shallow attempt at adding to the CP77 lore. I wonder if they kicked Mike Pondsmith off of the consultation team.
>>750237492h-her tits are gone?! ARRRRGHH!!!
>>750235380i think Warhammer has had like five over the years; the WoD one is still going
>>750237130Because greed and one idealist really didn't like the corporate overlords fucking with the net.
>>750237407You'd get assraped by Netwatch before you get near the Blackwall if they think you have anything approaching the capacity to breach it.
>>750237195>being too stupid for TCG
>/v/ will never tell you what their TTRPG cyberpunk character is
>>750229006>>750222772>>750223164>>750223009Nightcorp(Mr Blue eyes) are actually one of the more benevolent corps in NCThey actively subvert and reign in the corpos when they start threatening the cities wellbeing. Yes they allow them presence but in the same way your body let's in colonies of bacteria to grow in your gut.NC is a self aware organism and Night Corp is the brain that regulates the organsBlue Eyes absolutely would love to keep someone like V around to act as the immune system antibodies whenever someone threatens it. Its why NCorp is the most mysterious and passive yet secretly powerful corps out there. It doesn't make loud moves like Militech nor does it arrogantly announce itself like Saka.It just keeps the trains on time and the traffic flowing.Blue eyes is literally JC Denton and Helios merged.Temperance is the best ending. Because it crosses the Rubicon for humanity and artifical intelligence.Johnny crosses back into the realm of the living from cyberspace with a new perspective no one else ever had; having literally, lived, died and be on the other side.V gets to go with Alt and go beyond, possibly achieving ascension and he definitely will be back or making a future presence behind the scenesIts why Saburo was hellbent in taking over Yorinobu. He wants to ascend, conquer death and come back with such enlightenment that he defacto will be 100 steps ahead of everyone else and truly become the most powerful man in the world outside of just finance and politics.
Talia is for using as an onahole desu
>>750237838I haven't played Cyberpunk since RED but he was a slam poet conspiracy theorist that took against Biotechnica over a chemical pollutant he was convinced was going to turn everybodies hair white.Complete nutjob.
>>750237696>the WoD one is still goingnot still, again, it stopped printing 2010 then revived 2020
>>750237832>cardslop>intelligentYeah goyslop gambling is a highly cerebral experience anon, you got me. I wish I was high IQ so I could enjoy Cardboard Gacha, Rick & Morty and browse Plebbit.
>>750237967
>>750237967mixed race skin actually look OK if you replace all the niggerish looking parts with cyborg parts like the air and eyes and faceDare I say that black mecha mouth is an improvement?
>>750238037>TCG>gamblingIt's more like chess though.
>>750237838If there's any tabletop game I want to play because of my experience in vidya it would be Battletech and THEN Cyberpunk but sadly every group near me only plays DND
>>750237838That's cause I'm the game master
>>750238037I would fucking body you at MTG and you wouldn't even understand the basic fundamentals of something as simple as the Stack.
>>750237967cant believe fucknugget is canon
>>750238175>>750238037Oh and I almost forgot>gamblingL M A OMAOI buy singles you retard.
>>750238117the actual gameplay may be (mostly) skill-based, but getting cards from randomised booster packs is literally paper gacha
>>750238234You can buy the cards individually though.
Why aren't their no leftist gangs/groups in NC?Srsly all they have is a fucking fortune telling machine. You seriously can't tell me that such a hyper-ultra capitalist society would not have an aspiring equilibriant force.Like they don't even have to be le wholesome good guys.Bioshock Infinite of all fucking games can show that they can just be a bunch of thugs that want a turn at playing the game of power in NC, not humanitarian.they would have been a perfect foil to 6th street and a nice meta commentary on how corpos profit off culture wars.
just make your own cardslop
>>750238201doujins when?
>>750237492>the bogged David in the background Kek
Avida would be better if she wasn't a fucking BRICK and looked more like Nubia or Storm
>>750237838I cannot find a group who wants to play it and online groups either need a fee or are sketchy as fuck.
>>750238234>but getting cards from randomised booster packs is literally paper gachaBro, join me in a quick mental exercise here.Guess what the T in the TCG stands for.Now, being armed with that knowledge, guess what the creators of the thing wanted you to do with the cards that you didn't want.If the concept of that kind of human interaction is too much for you you can also just buy singles.
>>750237838I'm too much of a loser to EVER play TTRPGs
dang, it was all his fault
>>750238248There is no welfare and politics is completely dominated by corporations. There isn't anything keeping the leeches alive long enough to start getting ideas they deserve more of your hard earned money and the populace is of the general idea that communism is 100% certified retardation.
>>750238248The soviet union still exists in universe afaik, but they're kind of irrelevantI guess them falling off also killed the ideology, sort of like irlComplaining about too much capitalism with not counterweight in cyberpunk is bit like complaining about too much monarchy in fantasy. It's part of the setting.
>>750238285Avida and Weak are just Genderswapped Maine and Dorio
>>750238248>You seriously can't tell me that such a hyper-ultra capitalist society would not have an aspiring equilibriant forceNomads and Shivs, and they even take occasional bribes and jobs from Corps too
>>750238248That would be kino. PFLP patches would look /fa/ on their black bloc outfits.
>>750238457>The soviet union still exists in universe afaik, but they're kind of irrelevantThat's just a remnant of the first edition of Cyberpunk being written in the ' 80s; Shadowrun also suffers from the same problem
>>750238248they're all leftist
>>750238458Maine didn't cuck Dorio thougheverbeit Maine and Weak are both kino though...
>>750237838No one in my area to play with. Hell, I'd like to find someone to play any TTRPG with out here.
>>750238363It feels weird that he’s out there like that, also I wished they took more inspiration from the original books for the characters since his design was so fucking funny. And yes he was a huge douche.
why can't real life be a cool dystopia with cyber chaos demons and transhumanist augmentation
>>750238541That’s because Maine is a man.
>>750238750he could have been a fuck bitches get money kinda guy
>>750238483The Nomads remind me more of survivalists and Uncle Ted types.
>>750238890They’re a mix of a bunch of different stuff, mad max raider gangs, bikers, depression era migrant families, injun tribes. The most common factor is they are nomadic. And depending on who you’re talking about they have some crazy shit going on. Like MetaCorp who has their own floating cities out in and operate out of one called MetaKey in the Gulf of Mexico.
>>750238890yeah theyre sort of more pizza hut, while the corpos are dominos
>>750236902>>750236783NCers are genetically predisposed to talk like fucking retards unless they're actively trying not to, might be something in the water
>>750219585Straight shota saved the day

>>750239375>They gave you this haircut in the latest patch

>main character of season 1 is a little latino kid who becomes a chromed up chads, ties up 1on1 with one of the strongest person in NC and fucks a 10/10 polish slut>main characters of s2 are either a cuck dad getting beaten up by everybody to save someone else's daughter, a schizoid revenge obsessed bum who becomes infatuated by an AI version of Paimon from genshin impact, a paraplegic teenager with AIDS who larps as a Maelstrom member and a dumb moralfagging kid who does nothing but edit liveleak videosDamn what a fall from grace.
>>750237130Tbh, its not far from reality when most of the internet is just bots and scrapers
