    I get wanting more braindances, I'm down for that, but ummm...you guys realize we're asking for straight up porn here, right? Like, as a concept, I've got no problem with porn in my video games, I'm an adult, but I'm not going to fault CDPR for not catering to my deviant tastes. The game has plenty of faults to point to, this one feels like piling on.

    Yeah, like The Heist, or trying to track down the Voodoo Boys, or that thing Judy asks you to do. Every time the game makes you log in to pornhub to do a mission, it just highlights the missing porn more.

    But on the market, it's like 99.999999999% porn. The ones we interact with in-game are like... Weird, not mass market, the equivalent of surveillance cam feeds vs a movie.

    Now don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed the sequences we have, but they're not what's for sale. So you buy one, say, pop it in, and in game you'll just be watching a first-person cutscene.

    (Of probably porn.)

    There would absolutely be a market for a braindance of a person having a nice relaxing time on a clean, empty beach.

    We interact with the fucked up stuff because that's the world V lives in.

    I finally finished this thing last night.

    I was taking it slow early on, putting it down for 5 days at a time. This was the first game that finally bested my old 970, and I was still harboring hope that I might score a new graphics card and really get to turn up the visuals before finishing it.

    Like one of the earlier posts, I also (unintentionally) managed to avoid gameplay trailers, setting details, hype, and broken promises, so I had basically no expectations going in. Even somehow forget everything about the Keanu trailer other than vaguely remembering that he was involved.

    Put about 90 hours into my playthrough stretched out over the last month and a half, finished almost all the gigs and side quests, ended up pretty invested in the characters and V's relationship with them and I wish there was more of that.

    But god damn was I not expecting how hard it would hit me with the post-book depression.

    Yeah I was pretty upset about this game making me care about a bunch of characters despite all of the issues,

    Ok so for as how fun the non-cyberdeck mods are (and so far they are) I think they really need a balance pass.

    There's just no way they that a temporary time slow can compete with even a basic skill like Ping or camera hacks.

    Maybe allow them to slot a small gruop of hacking routines that are only very basic and require they take up a mod slot or something?

    I dunno but getting a legendary Sandevistan feels like a giant downgrade from an even a basic deck that allows hacking of cameras and using Ping even if it's shitty Ping.

    I went through most of the game with a Sandevistan (and mantis blades) and it was hilariously awesome. I never found myself lacking for not being able to ping or hack cams or anything.

    I just swooped into an area, activated time dilation, and I was generally looting the dead before the first body even finished hitting the floor. And single-enemy encounters were especially loltastic, including a certain endgame boss.

    However, there is a text error with Sandevistans, as I recall (it's been a while since I finished the game with that character so I might be misremembering). If it says, for instance, "slows time by 25%" it really means "slows time *TO* 25%"... >.>

    As a person sure but I enjoy characters that have major flaws ,in this case narcissism . Makes them more believable to me .Also Johnny’s definitely chaotic neutral , he is going to fly off the handle and do insane shit from time to time.

    No, he failed the mission then died and in the epilogue double failed because Arasaka just used the event as PR to gain more sympathy and money and rebuilt everything. Almost a million people died pointlessly.

    So playing Blades V I'm increasingly puzzled by gangers letting me within 50 yards of them.

    I mean at a certain point when all of your friends get buried with their heads and limbs piled on top of their torso you'd think they'd look into what keeps happening. Especially since this V can't do shit about cameras.

    Also I think I've probably murdered at least 1000 people who did nothing wrong but happen to be affiliated with a gang. Seriously I'll just be walking down the street and it's like "Oh, hey! I can cut your heads of for a little bit of xp!" and then that happens. The NCPD are clearly not taking their shit seriously at all.

    The NCPD are not there for the citizens. They are there to provide cover for the corps. That some of its members do not realize this and try to do good is even more sad.

    Some of the larger trucks have four out of six of destructible tires. Why not all of them? Eh.

    Braindances. I just want to play around with braindances. That they're everywhere and I can't participate beyond the few story-based ones bums me out.

    I'm kind of in the same boat with Sex in the game; Night city is so slathered in sex and allusions thereof that it's frankly shocking how little of it there is for the player to engage in; there's a male and female prostitute and then you might wind up banging one or two other people as "romance" options. This isn't to say that I expected this game to be AO/XXX or such (nor would I want it to be), but this feels kind of like hearing a guy brag about how he works down town as a crane and then turns out to be incredibly average.

    Like, GTAV had more content then this in it and at the same time managed to come across as more mature about it (not by a lot mind you, but there weren't sexually explicit posters and adds plastered all over the place in it either).

    There's something to be said about cultures being more awash in sex actually having less of it. Night City takes it to the extreme, nobody's getting any unless they're paying for it and judging by what you could see through the doors in Clouds even then it's 50/50 on a good day.
