All of this amounts to what has been an extremely successful marketing campaign. It did everything it was supposed to: it got players excited, it made them think about the game, it bolstered pre-orders. It did everything right. But in this case, that’s the worst thing that could have happe
Once players arrive at North Oak with Johnny Silverhand after the Blistering Love side mission, all players will need to do is enter Kerry’s mansion. It doesn’t matter if players kill the robot guards here or not, as they simply need to head inside and give Johnny control of V’s body so that the two can reconnect. The dialogue in this quest does not matter, as the quest is simply to introduce V to Kerry and bring the path forward by agreeing to reform Samurai, Johnny, and Kerry’s band for just one night, which is achieved with the following dialogue:
Deciding which side gigs to complete can be a fairly tough decision for players because each one prioritizes different skills sets. Depending on if the player goes for more a guns blazing kind of style or a more subtle sneaky approach will determine which kinds of gigs they will be more proficient
Video game marketing is already tricky for consumers to navigate. They, and even I, sometimes have to parse out what is true and what is too good to be true. There are very few AAA games that keep all their promises and live up to their marketing materials. Figuring out where the scripted trailer ends and the real gameplay begins is key to being an informed consumer in the gaming indus
Access Points – Players should also just make it a habit to be on the lookout for Access Points whenever they are roaming the city. Every time the player taps into an Access Point and hack it they will be able to earn a little bit of money for their trouble. Look for them while completing side gigs to maximize the amount of money that can be ear
Despite V becoming the new owner of the Afterlife and living it large, if the player chooses to romance an NPC, they’ll leave V for various reasons. Piling on, the tone is even more doubtful that V can find a cure before their 6 months are up because, instead of searching for a solution, V destroys Arasaka’s headquarters in space. During the credits, messages will be along the lines of “I hope you have a good li
This will trigger the A Cool Metal Fire quest, which is needed for players to interact with Rogue Amendiares . After which, the Chippin’ In quest will unlock, and once Johnny and V arrive at the Oil Fields in this mission, it’s important that players select the following dialogue options to further their bond with Johnny and give him a second chance so that he can make amends for his behaviour in the past and meet old friends:
Yorinobu Arasaka and Corpo V actually aren’t that different. Both had corporate backgrounds. Both left the corporate world, and both can find themselves back doing Arasaka’s bidding. Yorinobu also isn’t too different from Johnny Silverhand – both of them want to destroy Arasaka. Had Yorinobu Arasaka been a romance option, perhaps players could’ve had the opportunity to destroy Arasaka from the inside out once and for
Of course, there’s so, so much more. And it’s a shame because if you read my review of Cyberpunk 2077 , you’ll find that I actually liked the game quite a bit. Past the bugs, it’s a downright fun experience set in an open world unlike any other. And I think that if those bugs and glitches didn’t exist, and this game released without being in what felt like early access quality, it would have been one of my favorite games this year.

One other contingency factor that Cyberpunk 2077 throws out of the left field is V or Johnny Silverhand’s decision to return to V’s body. What the community believes to be the good and best endings can only surface if V returns to their own body rather than Johnny when Alt Cunningham tells the pair to make a decision. If the player chooses to let Johnny live in V’s body no matter which mission route was chosen, they’ll be given a somber scene where the Samurai guitarist leaves Night City behind . It’s bittersweet, depending on how the player looks at it, so it’s more middle of the road rather than fully “bad” or “go
Now, CD Projekt Red has to deal with the repercussions of its morbid marketing campaign. Besides a landslide of refunds of the game being doled out by Sony, Microsoft , and GameStop , CD Projekt Red may have some legal trouble on its hands as well. A Manhattan-based law firm filed a suit last week against CD Projekt Red on behalf of anyone that bought stock in the company. Part of the press release regarding the lawsuit explicitly cites the “defendants’ (CD Projekt Red) statements about its business, operations, and prospects,” calling them “materially fal
There are a lot of side gigs throughout Cyberpunk 2077 and each type of mission will require different skills to complete, and will in turn give players differing rewards for their trouble. These missions are entirely optional and players will find them in every single region. Side gigs are marked by a question mark on the map, and the Fixer associated with the mission will call the player when they are approached. This will give players the details of said mission before allowing them to choose whether or not to take it. There are 69 side gigs spread throughout Night City and each one fits into six different categor
