otherwise i suppose the character is fine. they just goofed up by hiring a major hollywood celebrity.
Again, I think its just you
. All movies have actors and they are evaluated on how well they fit their role. You mean to tell me that you cant watch any movies because you know the actor played some other character? We are not getting Keanu at the start of his career when Johnny Mnemonic came out...we are gettting a seasoned veteran, who, if you watch the trailer on the game page (for consle users) you can see him really getting into the character and taking this role seriously. There really wasnt any other better actor for this, real or imagined. The real "Keanu the actor" even played in a band for much of his career on the side, and he was always a rebel getting kicked out of school etc! I am not all too certain that the cart came before the horse and they helped design the story around Keanu a bit....it would make sense as how many rockers are also terrorists? LOL I personally think it adds to the quality of the game to have quality acting...at times the V actors let me down, they arent top actors and it shows. Usually game budgets cant afford good acting. I hope this is a trend in gaming. Of course the caveat is that just throwing a big name in there for publicity and having the actor still suck as their heart is not it is a possibility, but in this case it was certainly not. I have never seen Keanu in a role where he was so pissed off and crude, he had to adapt to a slightly harsher role as terroist and he did very well IMO.
comments on your second playthough
Did you try hacking in either of the playthroughs? Stealth? These two can go together and make the game a whle new game!
I'm having a lot of fun (way past the 100-hour mark at this point). Aside from the occasional bugs being ironed out, there are definitely a few things I'd like to see implemented in terms of QoL improvements.
Im almost there at around 80-90 hours but Im still level 24 street cred 30 and of the three main act two lines I have only done Judy/Voodoo. I have a very small wish list:
- I cant help but feel that although its a dystopian post war world where corps have taken over and the environemnt has gone to shit, that ICE vehicles STILL simply dont make sense. At very least there should be electric options and the noise could be modded in. I realize this is even a bigger asl than customizatio of colour etc, but hat an opportunity wasted. THe whole idea of trying to make electric cars sound and feel like old ICE ones definitely fits the Cyberpunk Universe. You have AV's and slow moving aircraft hovering over you even and not one electric car or bike? Adding a 2nd set of wheels to the gangster boats wasnt enough. At least they thre ELon a bone and inlcluded Robotaxis...albeit ICE ones lol...se thats the problem right there....robotaxis with that level AI wont run on gas, they just wont. LOL
I'm sad by the game's length
I clocked 25h so far, mainly doing gigs and side jobs (waiting for morr PS4 patches to go deep in main story), but from what I looked online, I'm already at 50% in the main story
To those who have finished the game, am I really at 50%?
NO! You are only as far in as you want to be. You choose your own length. I am level 24, street cred 30 and something lke 50-10-15% on the three meters for story but have played 80-90 hours!!!! I have been exploring and breakin into the posh mansions on the east hillside with no related quest at all the last few days. I saw Kerry's house on the map and decided to go there and "drop in" even though I have no idea if he is gonna show up as charcater;
actaully someone spoiled that for me but oh well. I noticed two other posh mansions inthe area one of which I could actually get inside (i.e. not jsut the property) and it was heavily guarded! This is the sandbox that Betheda games never are with their carbon copy LINERALY ramdomized loot BS. Each mansion had different security schemes, two you could not actual break into but one you could. Each layout was totally different even though they did use similar assets for the materials (often subdivisions use a theme regardless). THere was a tonne of shards for story and looot for my time!
WHat is randomized better IMO as far as loot goes in this game is the level of items in shops and even high level containers (so you can save scum if you want to )...but I dont...I just rotate around the city driving my motorcycle to the different clothes and nethack shops and rippers...eventually stoppign to get money to buy the stuff form solving crimes. the loot fits the area better than Bethesda, but the level you get is off the charts random, Tha is a better mix IMO. THe odd main gig keeps it iteresting, but Im savouring every minute of the 90 hours so far and will likley end up with 150 hours total play time for this character. She is also a netrunning stealth build so takes her time scoping each joint from the roof and basement before entry. THe verticality of the game can be missed if one doesnt choose to seek it. I have even got on top of buildings only by jumpipng off bridges and using double jump to break my fall. Unlike in Bethesda, again, this strategy paid off where usually if you try some wacky shit you still have to go the way they wanted you to go.
Man, i loved the Pyramid Song Side Quest with Judy.
A nice change of pace - underwater, quiet and peaceful.
And i gotta say...the romance scene is beautifully done, although it could have been a bit longer.
At least it was longer than the 30 second job I got on Jig jig street for a hundred E$! You may have missed it a few pages back but
I did a Judy tribute video, We took many simiar shots although I was paranoid about nudity on my channel so I focused on the sunrise. It really was magical and Judy deserved her own musical theme which I wrote myself...I cant seem to find any theme for Judy associated with the soundtrack but she needed one....geez I have a good looking (and nice personality) wife already but its fun to role play regardless, there were sparks flying for sure and CDPR are the best at it LOL.
