PL is very very good and if you liked '77 I would call it a must-have. I think opinions are unanimous that it's as good as the best parts of the base game or better pretty much the whole way through. Speaking purely personally, it also really completed the game's thematics! But more on that later once FFD's ran through it, lmao

Male or female? Which has the better voice acting? --- It's Reyn Time. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I picked female. It's usually pretty good, but occasionally the lines are read with a tone that doesn't fit the scene. (They probably gave her her lines in isolation, which means the male voice would be the same.)

You weren't kidding. Went with female VA, and I've been playing for ten minutes and already noticed a good number of line readings that were clearly done in isolation, lol. Not a big deal though.

Currently in character creation. Both have extremely good voice acting but in very different ways. Gavin Drea manages to pull off an extremely convincing 'street punk' and I think he's a slam-dunk choice if you go Streetkid. He also did an incredible job in the DLC if you get that far, using the years since the base game to sound wearier, weather-beaten, and wiser, which perfectly fits the context of where V is at in the story. Cherami Leigh does a better Corpo, IMO, which is probably because it's the path that is least close to her usual typecasting. Nomad I think both are about equally good. EDIT: Also, I wouldn't be sure Female and Male V have the same voiceread quality, because IIRC Leigh was cast a solid year sooner than Drea and they didn't record in the same studio. Very different context, AFAIK. --- Shine on, you crazy diamond. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Very fun game so far. Already had my soul crushed twice by the ending to a side quest! The brain dance investigation was also super neat.
Question - should I be focusing on the main story for now? Done like 12 gigs and haven't met Keanu yet. --- It's Reyn Time. ... Copied to Clipboard!

KanzarisKelshen 05/04/24 7:50:55 PM #109: |
My personal take for progression is something like this:
-Prologue/earlygame (locked to one district): Do every gig and side mission you can. This is to help you get set up with a proper chunk of perks and also used to the combat. -Advance the story. -Once the map is open to you, start picking at sidequests and gigs as you please. -Simultaneously, advance the two paths that don't start from the Afterlife as you see fit (I suggest intermixing MSQ and open world gaming). -Once shit starts getting real dark and/or climactic, go do the Afterlife critical path for a while. Once it hits a point that seems like shit is really about to go down, return to the other two critical paths. -Knock out all three critical path major segments in a row. -Go sidequest more. Advance story as opportunity allows. -If something is gonna send you to the Voodoo Boys, do this absolutely last. It leads to the DLC and that one is best experienced as one of the last few things before endgame. There's so much side content you can add in more as you like, so don't feel pressured to do it all in one go. I suggest using the main story as a sort of palate cleanser between sidequest batches, since its setpiece heavy style contrasts well with the more gameplay-focused sidequests. --- Shine on, you crazy diamond. ...

That is the intro to Edgerunners, yup. It's a fun show. Aesthetically an absolute masterpiece.

Edgerunners is such a good show that it made the internet reconsider Cyberpunk (the game) when it was knee-deep in controversy and gamer rage. The game may have recovered anyway after years of patches, but the show certainly made the rehabilitation process much easier.

Yeah, multiple times this game made me stop and think about what I was seeing. Without any spoilers, They Won't Go When I Go was an absolutely brutal thing to play through, in a way I can't really recall any other game pulling off save maybe Disco Elysium. It commits to the bit really hard, and I appreciate that a lot.

In a lot of ways, V is the superior successor to David Martinez. Where he couldn't go, you still might. But it takes a lot to become a legend...
Also, fun detail: Johnny Silverhand had to deal with Cyberpsychosis too. Not only is the Relic itself mitigating Cyberpsychosis, but two other things are helping out a lot here. First, Johnny himself knows how to handle the burden more or less decently -- him being so erratic and violent in the flashbacks is partly from the chrome, but he was still functional. Second, and this is maybe even more important...V has a support network who can hold him/her up, which (Bonus fun detail: you know why the OST for Edgerunners slaps so hard?
