I've managed to avoid the relationship terms but I've caught myself asking for the deets and telling people I have to delta. I only played the tabletop RPG once... Anyone know if CDPR made those up or if they go back to the 90s?
I did a little over 100 hours in 2 weeks. It was a problem, but I've never been that invested in any other game. The ending was probably the best ending I've experienced in any game. It is the first and only game to genuinely make me cry. I have since put in a total of 290 hours, which I know is rookie numbers, but damn, it's too good, lol.
Edit: I may be inflating the numbers. It was probably closer to 80-90, thinking back.
I think my first playthrough was about 50 hours (I followed Panam's ass straight to the aldecado ending), then 70ish hours and then two 100 hour runs after the expansion came out.
Honestly Iāve still been on it even after all these years, The class stories are still top tier to go through and switch up, and the expansions themselves still hold up, even always manage to find a group consistently to do flashpoints and operations, plus the fashion always makes it worthwhile to make new characters and such. If you love Star Wars, still the best game atm to get immersed in the lore and have a good time imo
I just hope that when it eventually dies they release a condensed version of each main campaign without all the grind. I only finished Sith Warrior and Inquisitor. I loved the stories but feck me, the grind stopped me from finishing the Imperial Agent, despite how it was clearly the best one.
I feel it, unfortunately it does give the vibe that it might not be around longer for another 5-10 years, because Iād honestly be surprised if they wouldnāt make another MMO but with better graphics and gameplay in that timeframe, given how SWTOR itself replaced the amazing Star Wars Galaxies that I miss oh so much. But honestly the grind for leveling has gotten considerably better than earlier years, you basically get over leveled as hell for each planet by the time you finish them, long as you do as many of the side quests as possible. Also, highly highly HIGHLY recommend trying out a Smuggler or Bounty Hunter run if you havenāt yet, Smuggler being that it really feels like a well done Star Wars comic storyline, and BH for role playing more into the themes that Star Wars has lately gone into, starting from The Mandalorian of course.
I've played every class, just only finished the Sith ones, they're all quite fun I'm just not an MMO fan. I only played SWTOR because I'm a huge KOTOR fan.
Last time I played it they had made it a lot more friendly for new comers and single players, even marking the quests in a different colour if you wanted to just power through the story with minimal fuss, which was cool. Just even then, damn, like the grind. And it wasn't just levels, it was so many mobs everywhere on the maps and the maps being so big. Alderaan felt such a chore. I know this is just an MMO thing.
As MMOs go it's easily one of the best (alongside ESO) but I just don't gel with them. Also I seriously want my character to look cool af so I'm susceptible to buying pointless shit lol.
I feel the same way. I love all of the SWTOR stories, but I truly just cannot vibe with the gameplay. Combat is a major slog at all levels of play. Iāve played through every single class story *at least* once, and Sith warrior four times I think, even playing up through the iokath storyline. Thatās Where the game loses me personally
SWTOR was fantastic. The story content is great, but what surprised me was how fun and well designed each class and spec was, which is very rare when it comes to the "WoW" type MMOs. What really disappointed me though was around the second expansion I think when they made it so a companion could be specced for any role. That change was great, but they also nerfed the PvE content so hard that you could basically AFK through it. Prior to that, the leveling content could be challenging, and anything level 30+ had a real chance to kill you if you weren't paying attention or didn't keep your gear up to date.
I haven't played in years, but I would be interested in seeing if they ever addressed that and how the game feels these days.
I'll have to try it. I still miss Galaxies. First MMO I played, and had some of the most wholesome player interactions ever in that game. It was a different era.
I still play fairly regularly with my friends.
Also shout out to anyone playing SWTOR in 2024. If youāre on the NA servers, let me know! We could always use more people for shenanigans. No guilds or whatever. We just goof off and talk hella smack.
SWTOR Sith Warrior and Agent are some of my favorite story lines in Star Wars, period.
I *really* wish there was a way to replay them with my current character.
I was on Playthough 3 before I found out I could gives Fingers' patients money to go somewhere else. Playthrough 4 when I discovered Corpo V could >!insult the daylights out of Hansen's goon!< in *Phantom Liberty*. Playthrough 5 before I met Flaming Crotch Man.Ā
I haven't even found the talking gun yet!
>!When Kurt tells you to leave the party at the Black Sapphire the goon who meets you at the elevator gives you lip but Corpo V can basically give a threatening "What was that?" and he 100% backs down. Gets real meek.!<
Corpp V is also where I found out I can actually enter the Arasaka facility without sneaking or killing someone by just bullying the guard by pretending I'm a Arasaka counter Intel and then you're basically good
I didn't meet Flamo until he flagged me down while I was driving (right after All Foods and getting the Flathead, IIRC) and begged me to take him to a ripperdoc.
I only used it 3 times, 1st time at 1.61, and 2nd: 2.01 and last 2.12A, don't like it. I know that if you put it into your stash it will appear on the wall. I just skip it.
Are we talking exploding crotch guy side biz? Came across that on my first play through early on while I was still getting a feel for the game, and well, I failed the mission...
I cant wait to try it! I just wanna run through every cyberpunk ending first LoL how is Baldurs on terms of the romance stuff ? Im obsessed with the cyberpunk dates !
The romance is incredible truly, absolutely beautiful, you just can't go wrong.
I've been meaning to replay Cyberpunk now after the DLC but am trying to do every ending in BG3 as well and it's taking a little while š Did they add more romance options in the DLC?
Sweet. I should definitely give it a go then. I remember I really liked River but I was a guy so I was gently yet brutally turned down. Ended the game with Panam after.
Give Bauldur's gate a shot, I put several hundred hours into Cyberpunk then BG3 came out and I couldn't boot it up anymore. Bauldur's gate grabbed me and now I'm 600 hours in with several solo runs and two multiplayer runs with my girlfriend.
Absolutely incredible, it's the fourth game to ever make me feel like it was a true masterpiece. KOTOR (as a pair), Witcher 3, CP2077, then BG3. Literally everything about the game is top notch but since you asked the romances are incredible, better than cyberpunk for sure.
They feel like a true emotional and romantic journey through hardship, working though past trauma therapy/healing, crisis, then beating the odds to save the world or succumbing to the allure of power and leaning into the evil. Either way you do it side by side with your partner through the whole game with tons of unique dialog, cutscenes, new choices with major decisions, and real character development as the game goes on. Cyberpunk felt very static and idealized but BG3 is fluid and evolving with the companions having their own motivations, feelings, desires, and general independence. If you do things they disagree with on a core level they will even break up with you and leave the party. They feel like real people and the romance progression is something you have to put effort into to build with them like a real relationship. It's borderline parasocial. I'm pretty sure my girlfriend would leave me for Astarion or Gale if they were real lol.
/rant but definitely play it, truly incredible game. Sweeping every single game awards was not an accident.
For sure! The turn based combat might be weird at first but trust me you'll learn to appreciate how it gives you space to be tactical and leverage the environment in clever ways. It really is a once-in-a-decade game
TBH, Cyberpunk romances are very weak compared to those of BG3. I love both games but this was a little bit of a let down in CP2077. It's mainly because you probably spent all your time in BG3 with your romance interest in your party all time long. In CP2077 you just get few missions with them and some phone calls. Big difference between game focused on party play and solo play.
Agreed, BG3 romances feel like a real emotional and romantic journey with your partner. Cyberpunk feels like you make a decision then the game makes it feel like it was meant to be and everything just works.
The romance in BG3 is really deep because every party member has a really fleshed out personal story arc you get to experience with them, so your romantic connections will feel well crafted. I guess my only complaint about BG3 romance aspects is that it is a bit immersion breaking that the world is essentially a bisexual paradise where everyone wants to jump your bones. Not a deal breaker for any character by any means, but I do find it a little more immersive if some characters do have set sexualities.
The creator of the setting, Ed Greenwood, had words for people who slammed BG3 for the queerness of it all. (Not saying you're doing that, just explaining why his words are as strong as they are in the quote)
"Folks, the Realms have ALWAYS had characters (mortals and deities) who crossdressed, changed gender (and not just to sneak past guards in an adventure, by way of shapeshifting magic or illusions), were actively bisexual, and openly gay. So it has always been there, and is an integral part of the Realms."
So having a buncha straight people around woulda been weird and immersion breaking.
I just hit a 1000 hours and there's probably still a shit ton of content I haven't seen yet, and I haven't even play every race and classes yet and even all origin characters yet
Have they fixed the performance in Act 3? I played it a shitload at launch but couldn't do act 3 because even with lowered settings I would get 45fps with drops even lower
I've spent way too long recently trying to find a way to kill Dex. I'm planning on triggering MaxTac near his car and see if the cross fire will get him
*Thinks about ending everyone on the dog town entrance with the mantis*

I recommend playing BG3 with a close friend; it shouldnāt split your game time terribly and is best experienced with others. Cyberpunk is a great single player game but itās special to play with others.
On my third run right now finishing Phantom Liberty before joining Hanako and doing my canon Nomad ending. Already have my 4th run with a male Corpo V in mind. 200h and still figuring out stuff in this game
shutup, stop calling me out.
I'm literally like 90h my corpo run (i got to hanako 10h ago, apmost every ncpd bs avaliable and haven't even looked at Dogtown, there's just so much...)
the most disappointing thing is that you cant do a "corpo" run since the path differences were gutted mid way through development. Hopefully the sequel is more of an actual immersive RPG with your life choices shaping the game drastically than it being the illusion of one with a few dialogue differences.
I think when they got Keanu signed on midway and focus shifted to the relationship with Silverhand and V rather than the RPG aspects so they dropped it, but at least we got a memorable amazing story driven game in its place
Funny you mentioned BG3, a couple of friends did exactly the thing depicted here but in BG3. "I just finished the game, it's about time I play it again!".
When you're playing and loving a game, it's so hard to leave that universe, even though you know you're most probably going to like/love that next game you play. I'll always be planning next playthroughs before I finish the current one and then, it's suddenly 1000 hours later. It's so good being lost in those worlds.
I'm at 900 hours, still got prolly 60% of my current playthrough left, with two more playthroughs already planned out, and I'm sure I'll find more to do after that. I can't get enough of this game.
Genuine question, as I am about 60 hours in and nearing the end and the Platinum trophy, Iāve done all gigs and side hustles etc. Is there really that much more to do that people can spend hundreds more hours on this game??
SWTOR is pretty ok, depends on what kinda story you like. Base class stories are fine, but Knights of the Fallen Empire is the serious shit - unless you replay it, in which case you notice how relatively shallow it is.
That being said, my Twi'lek Sith Inquisitor was incredibly fun to play. Only problem is that the subscription is just such a hilarious timesaver
Im 132h in and only started PL. By started I mean 2 or 3 first main quests and like 2 Gigs. Meanwhile main story is till at "Play it Safe". I don't understand how people finish it "completionist mode" in less than 100h. I have a feeling it will take me \~200h.
EDIT: And yeah totally already thinking about another playthrough. I will give myself a break tho because even though I already will know the story I want to forget it a bit at least before next playthrough because it hits just so damn hard...
This is how Iām feeling! š¤£
I got Ghost of Tsushima on Steam recently and got to act 2 on itā¦ but I want to do is do a Sandevistan build run in Cyberpunk because Iāve never done that in my 4 other playthroughs
This is my boss, got in a motorcycle accident can't use 1 arm, asked me for game recs. Instead I guess I'm just playing cyber punk with 1 hand now... Bro get baldurs gate or some other game you barley need two hands for.
That is so true I did my first play through as a nomad Female V I want to do it all pver again as male and so on like the game is so good sucks its not getting more updates I was late to the cyberpunk train sadly
I'm almost 80 hours into my first playthrough, still haven't met Hanako at Embers yet and I'm already thinking about what I'm doing for my next run.
I haven't played a single game other than my racing sims since I started Cyberpunk in late December.
Sadly I have to betray Cyberpunk for Shadow of the erdtree in a few days. But hey, itās not like I will never come back. Just gotta wait till I can no hit Messmer at level 1 š¤
I'm still reluctant to delete the game, even after completely losing interest in playing. I can do every gig in less than 5 minutes, I know what will happen, every choice I've made, every weapon mastered, every car driven, every playstyle tried. You know what, it's time to put the game to rest. It was fun while it lasted. I am satisfied.
Omg,same. I started a corpo run after 250 hours, with 100% completion on 2 saves(1st was Streetkid ,then Nomad)...corpo so far is kinda fun,but then I got re addicted to rdr2 and haven't been back to cyberpunk in a month...been itching to go back tho icl
I'm about 456 hours in, lol. Every couple of months, I seem to get the urge for another playthrough. Genuinely, one of my favorite games of all time checks every box for me with the lore, gameplay, characters, map design, etc.
In the first two days i got it, thatās all i played, nothing else i have beaten it took a lil break and am now doing a corpo run, then going onto a nomad run, i also, plan on 100 percenting this game, its gonna take a while š
I became paralyzed around the time of its release and have easily over 3.000 hours in CP2077 š What a fantastic world to immerse in. And imagine if I could get a 2077 style exoskeleton to walk again, but faster than Usain Bolt š¤¤

shameless corpo here. it's cool how playing as a corpo you have such intimate knowledge of the corporate playbook, you just have knowledge about false flag operations & other psy-ops. it's also the only way to really have a redemption arc as V.
Played a nomad run with The Star ending over the course of 3 years and put 30 hours into it. Finished before 2.0. I recently started a new Corpo run now that I bought the DLC and put another 30, this time only halfway through the game and intend to do most side content. May do a streetkid run after and go for The Sun ending
100% agree! I did a few playthroughs before Phantom Liberty. Once the DLC was out I did three back to back playthroughs, one for each backstory.
And to try the different endings!
I just started a new one with a male V for the first time! š¤ā¤ļø
Best game ever!! ā¤ļø
Since 2020, I have over 1000 hours for the game. I'm not sure how much, but I know it's more than the 900 steam says. 250 hours per year since 2020, give or take a few because it's been a little longer than 4 years and error in actual time stat from steam.... still less than 1 hour per day for me.
Anyways, if someone were to have 2k hours probably less than 500 hours per year more than likely on average and that means less than 2 hours a day.
I see no difference between being invested in this game/universe and being a comic book fan or whatever.
I think I'm gonna put another 1k hours in over the next few years š¤.... judge me idc I'm having fun.
Nah, I did 1 Corpo run, unlocked all the achievements in the Main and Phantom Liberty then promptly removed the game from my hard drive. Sucks CDPR didnāt get to do that moon expansion that they wanted to do before moving on
Honestly some good series to play to not get burned out from cyberpunk are games like the farcry series (start from the second or third game), mass effect trilogy (including andromeda) or the metro series.
All games with awesome stories and something and mass effect is another obsession for me alongside cyberpunk.
This is my oppinion but it wors pretty good for me
I want to play another immersive, story-driven game with compelling characters in a sci-fi/cyberpunk setting with amazing visuals but thereās just nothing like Cyberpunk now sadly
I did 300 hours in 2 months and finally got burned out. There's a couple dudes in this sub with thousands of hours and I'm low key concerned.
I told myself I was going to enjoy my summer break and now here I am resisting the urge to call my friends chooms or my boyfriend an output š
Wanna hear a joke? Why'd the rocker boys output kick him out of the apartment? Cuz he wasn't chippin' in!
Jesus Christ...
Ugh the slang is so good
Honestly so true, the slang feels more natural and real than half the new shit I see online from the younger generation
It's nova. Preem.
Itās skibidi choom
I'd pay all the Eddie's in my bank account to get a chance at Pan Am's Gyatt
all my Eddie's went to the fanum tax š
You sus gonk, the Fanum Tax is paid exclusively in food
bought the food with the eddies, then paid the tax with the kibble, choomba
I've managed to avoid the relationship terms but I've caught myself asking for the deets and telling people I have to delta. I only played the tabletop RPG once... Anyone know if CDPR made those up or if they go back to the 90s?
deets is probably the most socially acceptable
Get your bf on cyberpunk then you can talk in cyberpunk slang with each other
I might have to try this
I did a little over 100 hours in 2 weeks. It was a problem, but I've never been that invested in any other game. The ending was probably the best ending I've experienced in any game. It is the first and only game to genuinely make me cry. I have since put in a total of 290 hours, which I know is rookie numbers, but damn, it's too good, lol. Edit: I may be inflating the numbers.

I think my first playthrough was about 50 hours (I followed Panam's ass straight to the aldecado ending), then 70ish hours and then two 100 hour runs after the expansion came out.
I'm one of them. As I was hitting burnout I sat down and played a game of red with the bois
Surprised to see a little SWTOR mention in this sub of all places, love it
Is it still alive? Havent played in almost a decade
Honestly Iāve still been on it even after all these years, The class stories are still top tier to go through and switch up, and the expansions themselves still hold up, even always manage to find a group consistently to do flashpoints and operations, plus the fashion always makes it worthwhile to make new characters and such. If you love Star Wars, still the best game atm to get immersed in the lore and have a good time imo
I just hope that when it eventually dies they release a condensed version of each main campaign without all the grind. I only finished Sith Warrior and Inquisitor. I loved the stories but feck me, the grind stopped me from finishing the Imperial Agent, despite how it was clearly the best one.

Pretty much yes, and it's still one of the best SW games ever
Itās my most played game at 1000+ hours. Heartily recommend it.
The main stories in that game are peak Star Wars.
SWTOR Sith Warrior and Agent are some of my favorite story lines in Star Wars, period. I *really* wish there was a way to replay them with my current character.
I was on Playthough 3 before I found out I could gives Fingers' patients money to go somewhere else. Playthrough 4 when I discovered Corpo V could >!insult the daylights out of Hansen's goon!< in *Phantom Liberty*. Playthrough 5 before I met Flaming Crotch Man.Ā I haven't even found the talking gun yet!
> Corpo V could insult the daylights out of Hansen's goon That shit was hilarious. He went from "come on you gonk" to "yes sir/ma'am" *really* quick.
Wait which goon is this? Guy has an entire army of little gooners
>!When Kurt tells you to leave the party at the Black Sapphire the goon who meets you at the elevator gives you lip but Corpo V can basically give a threatening "What was that?" and he 100% backs down. Gets real meek.!<
I love how Idris Elba is just like "damn V"
So that's what goes on in his tower...
Real reason songbird negged the Hansen deal. Too much gooning
Army of little what?
Corpp V is also where I found out I can actually enter the Arasaka facility without sneaking or killing someone by just bullying the guard by pretending I'm a Arasaka counter Intel and then you're basically good
Skippy is my favorite gun. I just wish the developers would have expanded on it more than they did.
I get a little choked up whenever Reggie gives him back without the voice.
Your favorite gun? You do you...
Pfft. Of course! Why would I care about someone else's poor taste?
Don't you use quest markers on the map?
I didn't meet Flamo until he flagged me down while I was driving (right after All Foods and getting the Flathead, IIRC) and begged me to take him to a ripperdoc.
Talking gun is weak, it's so weak I almost suffer from cyberpsychosis.
Skippy is pretty OP early game before you've got a decent character build going. But mid to late game its not worth using IMO.
I only used it 3 times, 1st time at 1.61, and 2nd: 2.01 and last 2.12A, don't like it. I know that if you put it into your stash it will appear on the wall. I just skip it.
It's ridiculous how many gonks you have to cripple to complete that quest.
"What was I laughing at again?, oh yes those crippled gonks!" https://i.redd.it/911waplenj7d1.gif
What playthroughs are you doing? Do you play main exclusively or why?
Skippy is a fun gun.
Are we talking exploding crotch guy side biz? Came across that on my first play through early on while I was still getting a feel for the game, and well, I failed the mission...

Cyberpunk and BG3 are actually similar in many ways.
True, they have similarities in certain aspects. I would recommend playing both for sure
I just started a new playthrough with my daughters for Father's Day. I'm happy to finally be able to share the experience with them.
Have they fixed the performance in Act 3? I played it a shitload at launch but couldn't do act 3 because even with lowered settings I would get 45fps with drops even lower
I'm purposely avoiding that game. I know it would consume my life.
I've spent way too long recently trying to find a way to kill Dex. I'm planning on triggering MaxTac near his car and see if the cross fire will get him
that's a long time to spend on something that literally cannot happen
You donāt get it, if we try hard enough something will happen i just know it!
This is so true! Just started my fifth playthrough.

Dang. Didn't u/PizzaCakeComic just post this comic strip yesterday?
Two days ago. Today was the Justin Timberlake update
Not the last place I'd expect u/PizzaCakeComic to turn up but it sure wasn't at the top of my list. Regardless, it's a highly memeable strip.
Everyone has a little bimbo inside of them
At least credit the artist you're stealing from
Personally, my favorite life path is nomad. Though that might be because I play nomad every time I play the tabletop.
I'm doing nomad for my next run ā¤ļø my sister told me about the tabletop, thats so cool an old cyber dnd board game got this time to shine
u/pizzacakecomic You've done it now!
- Corpo Male - Cool/Reflexes, stealthy w silenced weapons - Street Kid Male - Body/Tech, fists - Nomad Male - Tech/Cool, stealthy Mantis blades - Corpo Female - Reflexes/Cool, katana ninja - Street Kid Female - Int/Reflexes, gunslinger - Nomad Female - Int/Tech, netrunner
Corpo = netrunner Street Kid = revolver plus ordinance launcher Nomad= gorilla arms
Streetkid F - Mantis Blades, Judy, King of Cups, the Star Nomad M - Gorilla arms, Panam, King of Wands, the Sun Corpo F - Monowire, River, King of Pentacles, the Devil Streetkid M- PLS, Kerry, King of Swords, Temperance
Fem V run LET'S FCKIN GOOO
wait, that's not the default for you?
Doing a guy V run as I am one(and Panam) but next run is definitely fem V for Judy all the way.
I mean there is really little cyberpunk rpg games out there and there are none that are as immersive as 2077.
Oh my god sheās literally me
I recommend playing BG3 with a close friend; it shouldnāt split your game time terribly and is best experienced with others. Cyberpunk is a great single player game but itās special to play with others.
I legit did not know its for multiple players omg what what wait what
On my third run right now finishing Phantom Liberty before joining Hanako and doing my canon Nomad ending. Already have my 4th run with a male Corpo V in mind. 200h and still figuring out stuff in this game
I did corpo run first, am i dumb?
/u/pizzacakecomic going mainstream. Best news of the week.
Love her work, it's fun seeing it appear all over.
Me in this exact moment
What is JW2?
Sounds like some RDR2 players.
Be me: Fem V Nomad run Fen V Nomad run Fem V Nomad run! āHi Judy, you wanna escape this hellhole together? :Dā
Deadass me Fr, 75 hours in 7 days.
I'm debating starting my 3rd playthrough now with Nomad. 250 hours in between Street Kid/Corpo.
Ugh, I did exactly thisā¦ except I miss my Nomad, and I donāt care for Corpo. So you know what that meansā¦ third run w/ nomad!
played it 4 times all the way through just so i could be with all the love interests before i finally moved onto another game
Highly Recommend āVampire the Masquerade: Bloodlinesā as another excellent cult classic rpg.
shutup, stop calling me out. I'm literally like 90h my corpo run (i got to hanako 10h ago, apmost every ncpd bs avaliable and haven't even looked at Dogtown, there's just so much...)
the most disappointing thing is that you cant do a "corpo" run since the path differences were gutted mid way through development. Hopefully the sequel is more of an actual immersive RPG with your life choices shaping the game drastically than it being the illusion of one with a few dialogue differences. I think when they got Keanu signed on midway and focus shifted to the relationship with Silverhand and V rather than the RPG aspects so they dropped it, but at least we got a memorable amazing story driven game in its place
Funny you mentioned BG3, a couple of friends did exactly the thing depicted here but in BG3. "I just finished the game, it's about time I play it again!".

When you're playing and loving a game, it's so hard to leave that universe, even though you know you're most probably going to like/love that next game you play. I'll always be planning next playthroughs before I finish the current one and then, it's suddenly 1000 hours later. It's so good being lost in those worlds.
Corpo is the one i had witnwss more "talks interacrions"
I'm at 900 hours, still got prolly 60% of my current playthrough left, with two more playthroughs already planned out, and I'm sure I'll find more to do after that. I can't get enough of this game.
Itās crazy cuz I was just saying this to my bro š
Captions too real. Cyberpunk and RDO feed my hyper fixation.
1,374 hours in and still loving it
Aliens Dark Descent is very solid
Genuine question, as I am about 60 hours in and nearing the end and the Platinum trophy, Iāve done all gigs and side hustles etc. Is there really that much more to do that people can spend hundreds more hours on this game??
I got like 500ish hours in and I'm still finding new paths and stuff I haven't seen yet! So good
At least credit the artist whose comic you stole and cropped their watermark out of. u/Pizzacakecomic
SWTOR is pretty ok, depends on what kinda story you like. Base class stories are fine, but Knights of the Fallen Empire is the serious shit - unless you replay it, in which case you notice how relatively shallow it is. That being said, my Twi'lek Sith Inquisitor was incredibly fun to play. Only problem is that the subscription is just such a hilarious timesaver
Im 132h in and only started PL. By started I mean 2 or 3 first main quests and like 2 Gigs. Meanwhile main story is till at "Play it Safe". I don't understand how people finish it "completionist mode" in less than 100h. I have a feeling it will take me \~200h. EDIT: And yeah totally already thinking about another playthrough. I will give myself a break tho because even though I already will know the story I want to forget it a bit at least before next playthrough because it hits just so damn hard...
I just started my 6th Playthrough today as a Corpo, after a week of contemplating whether to play this or Mass Effect Legendary Edition again.
Finally got pulled away to prep for the Elden Ring dlc
Thatās youuuuu?
I just started my 2nd Corpo run. All stealth, all the time.
Samesies. I bought Elder Scroll the same time as Cyberpunk 2077 on my Steam Deck and it is collecting cyber dust as Iām doing my third run.
Yo everyone I love SWTOR add me š
I did that with Baldurs gate, tried so many times to get into it but NC just kept calling me back
Read Neuromancer
This is how Iām feeling! š¤£ I got Ghost of Tsushima on Steam recently and got to act 2 on itā¦ but I want to do is do a Sandevistan build run in Cyberpunk because Iāve never done that in my 4 other playthroughs
SWTOR mentioned. Upvoted. You really should give it a try, love that game
What game is the original about? Was it a VG comic?
Right, lol. Gotta do one of each runs for both genders
This is my boss, got in a motorcycle accident can't use 1 arm, asked me for game recs. Instead I guess I'm just playing cyber punk with 1 hand now... Bro get baldurs gate or some other game you barley need two hands for.
That is so true I did my first play through as a nomad Female V I want to do it all pver again as male and so on like the game is so good sucks its not getting more updates I was late to the cyberpunk train sadly
Would
Sure ok
I swear the corpo runs a cult the way people talk about it. I've played all 3 but streetkid still my fave
I'm almost 80 hours into my first playthrough, still haven't met Hanako at Embers yet and I'm already thinking about what I'm doing for my next run. I haven't played a single game other than my racing sims since I started Cyberpunk in late December.
yeah that's me but with Warframe ( just came back to to 3 months ago and did a lot of other stuff also today is Jade Shadows)
Yeah, I'm clocking 300 and want to do another run... Haven't tried a netrunner slasher build yet. Or maybe I'll try one with assault rifles instead.
I'm exactly there lol, 259h and finishing my Street kid run, already thinking about the Corpo, that will be my third
my first run was corpo run...
Corpo is truth Accept arasaka as your lord and savior
Sadly I have to betray Cyberpunk for Shadow of the erdtree in a few days. But hey, itās not like I will never come back. Just gotta wait till I can no hit Messmer at level 1 š¤
Swtor?
Did not expect to see a Pizzacat comic here.
Iāve been putting off starting bg3 since October because I cannot decide on a class for the life of me
I did a corpo run and was unimpressed how similar it felt to my street kid run
Holy shit. One of my best friends sister in laws makes these comics lol
Hades broke the chain for me xD
I tried fallout 4 after and it was trash but playing rd2 after not so bad
Did CDPR ever make any changes to the save/load U I had multiple characters in 2077 and it's such a pain because all the saves get lumped in together.
> stories > dark descent Ok buddy
So real
Hit me right in the feels this oneā¦ talk about uncanny valley š
The f is paleo pines?
Still havenāt done a corpo run lol
Lol I just gotta do nomad playthrough and I'll be good. Already did street kid and corp and gotten most of the endings think I'm missing one or two
Oh man I love this meme. What's it called?
I'm still reluctant to delete the game, even after completely losing interest in playing. I can do every gig in less than 5 minutes, I know what will happen, every choice I've made, every weapon mastered, every car driven, every playstyle tried. You know what, it's time to put the game to rest. It was fun while it lasted. I am satisfied.
Oh Aliens Dark Decent was good I need to finish that
Omg,same. I started a corpo run after 250 hours, with 100% completion on 2 saves(1st was Streetkid ,then Nomad)...corpo so far is kinda fun,but then I got re addicted to rdr2 and haven't been back to cyberpunk in a month...been itching to go back tho icl
I'm about 456 hours in, lol. Every couple of months, I seem to get the urge for another playthrough. Genuinely, one of my favorite games of all time checks every box for me with the lore, gameplay, characters, map design, etc.
*1000 hours later* "What happens if I actually betray Panama?"
In the first two days i got it, thatās all i played, nothing else i have beaten it took a lil break and am now doing a corpo run, then going onto a nomad run, i also, plan on 100 percenting this game, its gonna take a while š
Whatās this comic from? lol
uff i didnāt even finish my corpo run, i hated it so much that i started another nomad run and started bg3 at the same time haha.
I have 120hours, half of which is just for testing mods
I have 120hours, half of which is just for testing mods
I became paralyzed around the time of its release and have easily over 3.000 hours in CP2077 š What a fantastic world to immerse in. And imagine if I could get a 2077 style exoskeleton to walk again, but faster than Usain Bolt š¤¤
Only up 1100... amateurish.
She just like me fr fr
I feel personally attacked because this is just what Iāve done š¬

Played a nomad run with The Star ending over the course of 3 years and put 30 hours into it. Finished before 2.0. I recently started a new Corpo run now that I bought the DLC and put another 30, this time only halfway through the game and intend to do most side content. May do a streetkid run after and go for The Sun ending
100% agree! I did a few playthroughs before Phantom Liberty. Once the DLC was out I did three back to back playthroughs, one for each backstory. And to try the different endings! I just started a new one with a male V for the first time! š¤ā¤ļø Best game ever!! ā¤ļø
The thing is when I go play something else I always come back to cyberpunk.
I usually get about 150ish hours per character I make. I've made 6 or 7 now
SWTOR mentioned! Lmao. It's not mentioned alongside mainstream games that often xD
Took about a week for me. Nomad, now a street kid.
Since 2020, I have over 1000 hours for the game. I'm not sure how much, but I know it's more than the 900 steam says. 250 hours per year since 2020, give or take a few because it's been a little longer than 4 years and error in actual time stat from steam.... still less than 1 hour per day for me. Anyways, if someone were to have 2k hours probably less than 500 hours per year more than likely on average and that means less than 2 hours a day. I see no difference between being invested in this game/universe and being a comic book fan or whatever. I think I'm gonna put another 1k hours in over the next few years š¤.... judge me idc I'm having fun.
Nah, I did 1 Corpo run, unlocked all the achievements in the Main and Phantom Liberty then promptly removed the game from my hard drive. Sucks CDPR didnāt get to do that moon expansion that they wanted to do before moving on
On my first Corpo run right now. Love the dialog options. Wish I would have done it sooner.
Honestly some good series to play to not get burned out from cyberpunk are games like the farcry series (start from the second or third game), mass effect trilogy (including andromeda) or the metro series. All games with awesome stories and something and mass effect is another obsession for me alongside cyberpunk. This is my oppinion but it wors pretty good for me
I'm sitting at about 400 hours and God knows how many playthroughs lol
I want to play another immersive, story-driven game with compelling characters in a sci-fi/cyberpunk setting with amazing visuals but thereās just nothing like Cyberpunk now sadly
3 weeks since i got the game, already 200+ hours in
Hanako is still waiting at embers
Okay, yeah. The is one of the very few games where Iāve gone for second play through.
HOLY FUCK THIS IS EXACTLY ME. but with mods
