Gaming Cyberpunk 2077 (PC, PS4/5, Xbox One)

What build did you go for?

So I couldn’t put it off any longer and have finally started my fourth play though - this time with 2.1 update of course. It’s interesting how in general I’ve become someone who can’t play too much of a single game in a sitting. After an hour or two I like to switch to either doing something else or an hour of another game. But with Cyberpunk I can just lose myself in it completely - doing one more gig, one more NCPD thing or just messing about with my character / the built.

I’ve started this play through in a way that will allow me to pick any build I want to go in, even after 5-7 hours. But I’m genuinely not sure what to go for as I don’t think I’ll come back for another play though - I’m leaning towards shotguns and blades - so body, reflex and tech, dropping hacking all together.

Body and Technical (I mainly use shotgun and quickhacks in combat... and that mega powerful sniper rifle you get when you defeat one of blokes in a fist fight) with a bit of Cool and Intelligence on the side... basically ignored Reflex completely.

So I’ve gone for a Body, Reflexes and Technical. Essentially going for a Sandevistan build focused on blades / melee / shotguns. I’m thinking at about level 40 I’ll respect into a net runner so essentially be able to get the absolute most out of the 2.0 update in one play through.

Coming back to the game, it’s just so damn good. The dialogue, atmosphere, world sound design sheer variety of builds makes it an addictive loop for me. The new skill updates are excellent too. So far, the new movement abilities are the real game changer for me - it makes melee combat so satisfying, not to mention being able to deflect gullets or use a blunt weapon to charge into multiple foes. Car combat is also good fun - in-line how they’ve integrated random chase sequences / those linked to existing gigs.

Also, I’ve realised that female V is for me V. Her voice acting is phenomenal.
 
@amolbhatia50k et al.

Sequel is now in development.
Yeasss!

I’m having such a blast with 2.0 switching between play styles whenever I want
Solo - ramming into hapless baddies and doing the Quake slam
Shinobi - Using katanas and mantis to leap at enemies and performing a finisher
Tech guns - Using bolt with the Satara. For anyone who enjoys shotguns use this one - it’s wonderful.

All using Sandevistan of course.
 
I would fully recommend hitting people with a phallic object.

In Cyberpunk of course.
 
Started PL towards the latter stages of my 2.0 play through (got a lot of side content left) and the first 3-4 hours are absurdly good. I didn’t think the Hiest could be topped but this possibly does it.
 
The book that heavily inspired this genre, William Gibson's cult science fiction novel Neuromancer, looks to be (finally) coming to streaming with Apple+TV.

Can we share the love a bit for this game now? Been playing through it on PC and honestly it could be in my top 10 games ever now. Some of the quests they've added, including one really dark one, really took me back to TW3 in terms of curve balls. The main story has me absolutely hooked also.

Which?

@amolbhatia50k you heard of this one?
 
I replayed it recently after picking up the dlc. Its much, much, much better than at launch. Still not a some genre redefining masterpiece or anything just a good open world game.

Not genre defining, but its a solid 8/9 out of 10 for me now. Hasn't been a game I've played on a while that's had me thinking of it during work and wanting to get home to continue the story. Combat is genuinely addictive too.

Yeah sounds about right. The story was always very strong but mechanically it was threadbare and undercooked at launch. I woulnd't say they're that strong at this point but at least there's something there now, it doesn't feel like playing an alpha.

Phantom Liberty is absolutely fantastic. The base game was still really lacking for me in comparison.

I'm not even on to PL yet so this is fantastic news! Actually I did one or two quests, then returned to the main story. I do find the gameplay in general is more addictive though which makes even the base game vastly more enjoyable.
