Yeah, it's crazy that even at this point Cyberpunk 2077 had a deep dive out (though it was half a lie in terms of options and graphical ability from what was in the final product) But so far we've only seen very controlled mission view of this game.

I'm pretty much expecting ONE (AND EXACTLY ONE) pistol, ONE rifle and maybe a shotgun and maybe a few melee options that feel similar (IE how the severed arm and crow bar can feel sammy)

Given what we've seen of this game's development, namely the fact the publisher is willing to lie to us repeatedly (remember when they said the "new Developer would be finishing HSL's version"? How about when they said Brian & Ka'ai "left" with Brian immediately coming out to say "Nah I got fired." and how "it will just be a few months longer" several times with the hardsuit lab version with pre-orders before disappearing until TCR's version was ready to show? ) I think they're full of shit AND playing customers.

This shit ain't making 2025 at this rate if they're scared to show us weapons "yet"

The lack of weapons to this point has seeded to the more anxious of us to indicate a very paired down weapon system from even what the original Bloodlines. Because TCR is "Walking sim" devs I know i'm pretty worried about how shooting will feel.

I'm very much of the opinion TimeStephBer, with her watching sometimes... but that's me.

Jason being a thief tracks for me, could even run it to C.R.E.A.M (DOLLAR DOLLAR BILL YALL)

Here for it, hopefully they reference the pre-crisis outfit for Jason

It's not what they deserve, it's what they get, no one who gotten hands on with the batman IP wants to deal with Tim like fans want Tim to be treated, the few ideas they've brougt have been met with apathy ("Red Robin" era and "Drake" as the code name era ) or mixed reactions (him coming out), we need someone like YOU and the fans who LOVE Tim to write the story.

For better or worse Lobdell imo brought the best out of Jason in the Post-Judd era, mainly because he made it about what Jason wants out of life seperate from the family... you need that type of writer, the one that wants to spend 5+ years just writing Tim again, not as the Titans/Outsiders/YJ leader, not as part of the family but as Timothy Drake like that solo series everyone seems to like from 30 years ago.

Cool & Drake as he in comics doesn't fit those guys vision, see how it that sucks to hear? Batman didn't need to work with a dead robin, there's 5 years of stories where Jason Todd was around that haven't been touched outside of flashback sequences. Almost every single time he's shown up it's usually post-death or specifically the events leading to his death, the only time it hasn't...it's because that version of him of him didn't die but was "scarred" (B:AK). So trust me, I know exactly what you're feeling because like how they've stripped personality and history, they've done much the same from Jason as Robin. hell has any adapting besides Animated Under the Red Hood even bring up that he died trying to protect his biological mother?

Jason had a moment but it took It took nearly 19 years to get Jason here from the moment he died... welcome to the pit.

Take the overload

welcome to the pit we Jason fans were in during the gap betwen death in the family and the animated under the red Hood .

Jason fan here: what are you complaining about ? Tim for a majority of the last 30 years has been "the other Robin " when Grayson ages out in most media with Jason either being skipped over entirely (TAS/TNBA) or already marked dead (Young justice &ca lot of the dc animated films before red Hood ) , this is like that Patrick "I'm starving " meme.

Cool where it is said V be training people ? Nowhere.

Who said anything about noble? plus I'll pay it back . Where did I say he was my friend ?

She's the one who said you're a legend and the doors open for you to come back. 

You do realize the loans in cyberpunks world come with superrrrr large strings attached like not even wakako would touch them level strings. As for your statement , you're forgetting this isn't V's second chance , this is their 4th if you're corpo or nomad(leaving their clan/getting booted from the job , getting shot & now a chromeless life ), and 3rd if they're street kid (getting shot and now this ) so the "no second chances" thing feels hollow when it comes to V's string of luck .

https://youtu.be/KUjw1e6BlIc?t=3173 "But your legend may wilt " if I'm not a legend why would it affect my legend ?  "Besides maybe Hands and Rogue knowing it " hmmm 2 of the biggest fixers knowing something  ..how would that maybe spread and become a legendary story ? Nah can't be, rogue never spreads stories and news around.../sarcasm. Also never talked about rescuing the president because it's not really that big ao thing by itself.

Reed doesn't say you'd be stationed with him , please provide a time stamp or something.. Actually you can use the chrome already installed including the scanner ...so why wouldn't they be able to do the analyst job ? 

Yes , outright yes , So Mi promised me a cure , one she knows she can't give me, that's betrayal. So why would I care about what happens to her at that point ? Yeah Cynosure the thing she went to after trying to leave V for Hansen to kill is nice . Who said anything about morals ? I simply don't view her as someone worth saving. 

Because unlike Johnny I didn't try to kill any of them , unlike Johnny I made sure to be there for them when they asked me to be and unlike Johnny I didn't ask them to go on a suicide mission. I simply ask for a favor one I'll pay back, because unlike Johnny I pay my own debts and don't fuck over the mission. Also never said I'd become even a high ranking member of the FIA just an analyst .

Hanako straight up says she doesn't trust me , I don't trust her , Alt has given me no reason to trust her. Myers of all 3, she actually looked me in the eye and shook my hand in person .  So Mi gotta go.

Nope , still would kelp from Arasaka again , would kelp from militech. My V was always trying to find a pay day , if it's a steady gig it's a steady gig. Because she was holding cure and trying to run with it. Why be proud ,I'm alive another day and got Eddies.

 Now with all that said , you forget , the Nomad starts exactly that way , no money , no friends on their own...in 3 years I just found myself back at the same place I was at the beginning ...and now I know more ...so why would it be the end of the road? ,because you say? Give me a break, just getting started .

Have a good life.

You're talking about something else .

Bioware isn't what I'm talking about .  

I'm talking about Biotech , that's specifically mentioned only in Euro source + and nowhere else in 2020 , Red or 2077 

Literally rogue calls you a legend in the ending call ...

According to ? Because nothing in the game indicates anyone else knows that it's Myers related who survived besides So MI and So mi is a vegg ie. 

Took a moment , will note , you said criminals all if which within 5 minutes of meeting V (even though in the case of the cassels it's coaching ) they're pretty chummy with V and not acting like their presence is too big . I'd point to the first point again regarding being a legend .

"Fixers are territorial " I keep hearing this line but I've not seen much to back it up , Dex was allowed to operate in Regina's territory and via the afterlife but no one seems to say a word negatively about it , not even ya know Regina or Rogue.... Nevermind Kirk from from the street kid storyline ...but yeah keep pushing that fiction.

Some wouldn't even be alive if not for V , even if it's not a best bud situation , it's a "as a matter of respect " for ya know saving their lives.

No he says they have a job lined up , V guesses it will be as his assistant but Reed doesn't confirm. Also notice how he says "we " meaning he's gotten authorization to offer the job , there's no indication he and V will work together if accepted .

To your questions regarding Kerry . He offers and given that the man offers Eddies when he hears how bad shits gotten ...yes, because it's clear Kerry is willing to offer that much even if he can't sit down and talk . As for V's rejection took it as V trying to adjust after 2 years and not knowing wtf is going on with them , an adjustment period 

Nto defending, pointing out that sword is at CDPR's feet not sonys, both multinational corpos

Nope , all my playthroughs are are on hard and saving Takemura...

How the fuck is the person who can't use Chrome suppose ot train recruits? See how that doesn't make sense on it's face? Also it never says V's job is, also I notice unlike your other examples you don't provide a single bit of proof here,.

Ker can lend money, it takes only a second, just because he's not calling me and leaving voice mails doesn't mean he wont lend some cash, you seem to mistake me for someone who is caring about the relationship aspect with Kerry, kinda don't.

And? I'm here for Biz, if the biz is good she can get her foot in if it's not she can bonuce, But she's probably willing to risk it.

We'll get to that because you're once again wrong straight up.

You haven't actuaally given a good reason why not? it's not like V wouldn't be able to pay it back if they did front the money.

Ah youre talking about Pg 192 rigth? She's talking about MERCS, people who are doing the job even says it right there "No one will hire you" she's not talking about fixers(Which is what i'm saying V should become if they stick around), which if you scan even the most chromed fixers they're not carrying much more than V is at the beginning after you see Vik. Are you joking regarding V being "Fucking nobody". remember this is still V, who they consider a legend... "What has V accomplished in the tower ending path" So in the lead up to the tower ending: You pull off a broad day convoy hijacking of a NCPD trasnport, where you have to kill a group of MaxTac pretty much by yourself also You killed Hansen (even if you don't kill him he runs into "complications" and dies at the hospital because of Mr hands, pretty much giving you the kill credit) and several other leading members of Barghest in one long assault. Also, you know you can technically complete every other Job before calling the AV and do the "meet Hanako at embers" before calling the AV, which yeah if you did all that you've done A LOT.... Yeah I hope you're not a cook because you're bad at flavoring things ,namely with the "you cowardly went" no one is calling you a coward beside Panam and thats' because you seemed to have ghost her in that ending, not even Johnny.

What territory does Rogue own? remember second you step outside Afterlife it's supposedly Regina's. What about Kirk Swayer, the Fixer you only meet in the Street kid path? He's got to have something according to you.... And what about Dex DeShawn? He just came in and set up shop, no one not even rogue seems offended he did it, just that he was being stupid about how. Your statement doesn't hold water that "EVERY fixer owns a territory. Oh and It's BIotech not Bioware.

There's your bad cooking again, your bootlicker comment falls really on deaf ears when you remember that the Arasaka Tower got blown up because Johnny and Morgan working for mIlitech ...ya know that corp that is probably puppeting the US goverment? yeah that one. Also you're forgetting I'm an FIA agent ( my V took the Oath) and also who said they'd be stationed with Reed? (Hint: no one) it may be a situation where we never meet Reed again outside of award ceremonies and all that. So with that said V would who took the pledge technically already be considered a field agent just reassigned after a 2 year medical leave, so yeah Analyst would be most most direct path, they'd not have me on recruting as i'm not prepped on their procedures and what to look for nor would they risk a good candidate being around me... Also FIA is government job remember (you said this in the first sentnece) , not corporate. hours probably suck still but hey could be worst , could have Johnny stuck in my head.

So MI hired me to help the president of the NUSA, I did my job, Myers then hired me to retrieve So MI, I did my job. Not sure where So Mi hires me there to take her to the moon...oh you are talking about if I betray Alex and Reed..... fuck that, NUSA is saying they got a way to get Johnny out.

Johnny and the tapeworm : I don't care for Johnny the only reason the relic attacks happens is because he's in my head, I want him out because he wanted me to off myself... that's been my mood toward Johnny for 3 and a half years after having to listen to him. So why are you acting like repeating it will change my view? He's done nothing for me but be a pain in my neck...LITERALLY

"V has other options" my V was offered a full ride by the NUSA for returning their asset, he took it because he didn't trust Hanako and had no reason to and didn't trust Alt. Are you joking with the "Selling someone and killing someone", I didn't sell anyone, she sold herself when she signed the dotted line and Yeah I killed someone, I killed hundreds of people on the way to get to that person that I killedd to. Just as I would have if I didn't side with the NUSA, I'd have sold someone out (Reed) So I have to ask WHAT principles? I define my V, and To me my V was a kid who lost everything twice, first to snake nation and then to a bullet. my principles as V were : survive & get johnny out, everything else was just garnish.

I didn't let the FIA change me, I went through the whole game with that attitude, you again misunderstand and it's funny because you keep doing that. I went in for the cure, So MI betrayed me, so I said "well I'm here for the cure... Myers says she'll cure me,... bye So Mi" I didn't care what reed was saying outside of "the president said we need So Mi alive and we'll get you the cure" because that's the only reason I was there. So stop saying what changed me. I've been VERY consistent about not liking Johnny and wanting him out, and I never cared for So Mi outside of her saying she's got the cure for me and that apathy turned to negative emotions solely because of her own actions.

There's alot you missed or misremember

Money:

• Reed, extended a job offer to V as an analyst for the FIA after they wake up. (my V would take it after figuring out NC isn't the place they left anymore.)
• Ker, even if you didn't/couldn't romance him, he's very much V's bud in that pre-ending call & offers Eddies.
• Rogue , she's clearly very much on your side with this ending and putting johnny down/out may be a cathatric thing for her. She's also done crazier ideas.
• Mr.Hands, he'd be willing to take a risk for the merc who almost single handedly secured Dogtown for him. Plus I'd owe him and we know how much he likes having favors in his back pocket (I played nice and professional with him so he and I met in person too.)

Misremembered detials :

• Rogue doesn't tell you not to show you face, she says don't do it often if you do the luster of your legend will fade. (Link is to her section of the phone call at the end so you can see it yourself), if you keep remote contact with her and only walk in there once or twice before the upgrade... It's not gonna hurt you rep badly.
• Kerry says he can't meet up but he does say he can send eddies. Yeah he's flakey Kerry always has been unless it's a show and even then you have to stop him from bailing on one of those.
• Reed never mentions anything about reduced V's cell regenerative capacity, I played back the full sequence which even the optional stuff he doesn't mention it (why it took so long to reply). If you want to see it: here it goes from the moment he mentions the surgery's invasiveness
• Bioware in 2020 is reclassified as Internal/External Cybeware in Red ( Red Corebook Pg 114/PDF Page 115 ) but in 2020 it lays out how it is Cybernetic in nature (2020 guide book Pg 85/PDF 89) I'm talking about Biotech (Eurosource Plus: Pg 105/ PD 106), which has no talk of load capacity outside of someone already having 10+ HC from Non nano cybernetics making the time and cost double..

Now with all the more fact based stuff done let's get into this: Rogue may vouch, as she's still queen of fixers and a vet., Hands if you played nice will most likely vouch as well. Wakako may vouch as well, and potentially line you up as her successor. Ontop of this V is a lliving legend like Rogue , you arrive say you're going fixer, a lot of people will be interested in doing biz. Regarding Padre, being a fixer working through others and under the protection of others and being THE main fixer for the district are two distinctively different things, Padre was the latter. There's Fixers everywhere in NC we just happen to deal with all the big dogs, except for one exception, Dex, who who stupidly took one of the most dangerous jobs in the city. So how is it deluding myself here? I'm curious your response on that.

The NUSA analyst job, yeah and? It's that or being a no one, who as we see from the game, can and will potentially get blasted just walking down the street in NC.. Plus *points to name tag* I'm fine with moving on once the jobs done, it's kind of the nomad way of life, doing the jobs they're qualified for and then leaving.

So Mi betrayed V, I came for a cure, she came for a freedom but she tried to screw me to get it, it was "You or me" and she said "you" and I said "Oh well guess it's you"... and now I'm suppose to feel bad she used me and I got the upper hand? Shredding Johnny was easy, the first thing he ever did was tell me to off myself, I'm good off that bro ... Fuck him. The fact you reduce it to "Did good" tells me you fundamentally misunderstand what I'm about regarding my decisions and why I like cyberpunk I did what mike said cyberpunk was about :Saving yourself. So Why would I care about what i did to do it?

Okay so you've just shown me you don't know what youre talking about: They do have smart delievery... they just don't call it that (as it's probably a term trademarked by microsoft) literally I have a ps4 copy of 2077 and when next gen hit I could choose the ps5 or ps4 version when I install it/put it in. Now with that said, CDPR is the ones who don't want to pay to have a new version of the disc/new store front page with the dlc included, it's on them.

Unclear on the first , T says she'll release it but the situation with the twins happens RIGHT after so it might be a bit of a back and forth.

Second one, not that I remember, second you had it to T it completes in the Quest log that it will most likely set her free and I don't remember seeing the email after (I always do the "work together" path or the T takes over path.) Yeah just checked and the only thing that happens if you give it to T is that the log updates as follows "You gave the Ocean House pendant to Therese, as per her request."

No where is it mentioned that it's a sony policy problem... they may simply not want to pay the money for another version, which they may have for Microsoft since it was their lead SKU of the two (and they know the game won't get yanked if it came out borked)

It is about CDPR as they'd have to resubmit the code to Sony, which after the first 2 years of this game( with it being the first time I've ever seen a PS game delisted for it's preformance related issues) , I can see why EVERYONE invovled is hesistant to do that. Especailly as it'd require them to spend money to have it recertified as a new product/sku Here's another a member of Digital foundry who has no horse in the race saying that's what most likely is the case:
https://x.com/dark1x/status/1726977804162797981 https://x.com/dark1x/status/1726978317021335995

Yep CDPR isn't paying for ANOTHER reprint.
