Disjunction Review - Cyberflunk
[pullquote]The ethical implications of a program that could more or less erase a person's consciousness from their body are vast. You would think that it would be a much bigger topic of debate. Instead, Cyberpunk 2077 only tells you this is unethical without ever effectively diving deeper into it.[/pullqu
One thing CDPR could’ve done to keep the sixth attribute trait is perhaps turn it into a cyberware attribute. There is a cyberware section already, but having a dedicated attribute for special cyberware such as mantis blades , gorilla arms, and monowire could’ve allowed for developers to keep the cut features involving special cyberware, such as wall climbing with the mantis blades or hacking enemies using the monowire. This would not only make getting the cyberware more worth it, but also make them more uni
After meeting Johnny Silverhand, when players go to the Character section there will be 6 slots instead of 5. The normal 5 attributes: Body, Reflexes, Technical Ability, Intelligence, and Cool will be displayed with an empty sixth display between Intelligence and Cool. If players hover over it, the display will begin to fizzle out. This empty display isn’t a mysterious sixth attribute stat, but rather an oversight on CDPR’s part. There were originally six attributes in Cyberpunk 2077 DLC 2077, with Constitution being the final attribute alongside the five attributes that are already there. The Constitution attribute was removed, possibly late in the process, which could be why there are still six blocks in the Character section for attribu
Masahiro Sakurai: "When your game pushes boundaries the way Cyberpunk 2077 does, be it during development or at release, it won't reach the expected performance level. Because optimization never ends. Needless to say, performance estimates are made during development, but it's like walking on an never-ending tightro
As I said previously, this wouldn't be as much of an issue if the narrative chose a direction to stick with. You can have your big fun bombastic cyberpunk adventure and still explore the philosophical aspects. But these philosophical themes would have been better left on the cutting room floor as opposed to being teased and not explored more clos
Based on the 1981 William Gibson vignette, the point-and-click game drew a 1/5 rating from Mac User , 2/5 from AllGame and CGW , and 3/10 from Edge . The game was panned for its poor gameplay and a lack of imagination, with Hardcore Gamer calling it one of Sony Imagesoft's worst tit
The company has its hands in nearly every industry imaginable. Weapons manufacturing, banking, as well as financing its own division of Night City's own police department. All of these coupled together are constant obstacles and causes for concern for V, and most of the people of Night City. The implications of a mega-corporation with its hands in law enforcement alone should arise its own slew of ethical questions. But in the game's world and story, it's more of an afterthou
Like many other pieces of Cyberpunk media, Disjunction is about the actions of a corporation with the power of a nation and the people it affects. In this case, there are three main characters with a bone to pick; Frank, a disgraced cop turned P.I, Joe, a former boxer turned vengeful father, and Spider, a hacker. The trio starts their stories separately, but soon enough come together, linked by the actions of the previously mentioned corporat
When it's all said and done, Cyberpunk 2077 proved to be a fun sci-fi romp. But it could have been more. At times it even tried to be. Unfortunately, it just could not stick the landing when it came to those themes. Instead, it opted to be a kind of mindless action thriller which isn't necessarily a bad thing. The story is marred by what could have been and the potential that it sadly squanders. It's in no way a bad story but it is not as imaginative or as deep as it could have b
Disjunction tries to balance the odds with upgrades and abilities for each character. These range from stopping time when an ability is used to simply speeding up a character. However, the end result of combat is almost always the same, regardless of what you've unloc
The character background section of the initial Cyberpunk 2077 character creation stage also provided some information about V, such as their birthday and gender. Other information, such as their real name, was classified as missing data, and the name V would’ve been an alias. In the released game, V is a nickname for the main character, with V’s real name being Vincent for male V and Valerie for female V. While the initial character background section made for inspiration behind the Lifepath system, keeping the character background customization could’ve added more of a roleplaying element to Cyberpunk and allow players to create their own unique characters no matter how many times they play through the g
During the " I Walk the Line " main quest, V will be approached by a Netwatch agent who wants V to betray the Voodoo Boys in order to keep the net safer. If V agrees, during the following quest (" Transmission "), Netwatch will appear in the subnet the Voodoo Boys create for V, and all of the Voodoo Boys will die. V can still achieve their goals, either way, and the Voodoo Boys aren’t exactly good guys, so it’s up to players to decide who to supp
