I was really happy that I didn’t read any spoilers for Phantom Liberty so when that concert occurred I was just transfixed.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 from the makers of The Witcher
This game makes me want to play it. i see it on YT and in streams a lot now for some reason. Seems when one person does something the rest follow...even if its KISS in their disco era.
I only own the normal game though. Tried it twice but stopped after first mission each time.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 from the makers of The Witcher
I've had the exact same thought. You are being hunted by a large group of soldiers, you hole up in an abandoned building where the walls are mostly open to the night, and you set up a beacon for everyone to find you.

Way late to the party, but it is on sale for $29.99. Been playing BG3 for about the last 4 years. Need something to tide me over for the next 4. Hope this lives up to the hype.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 from the makers of The Witcher
It's one of the best games I've ever played. I think I finished complete plays of the OG game twice, and did a third run through the entire game plus DLC. And then another one to see an alternate outcome to the DLC story line.

D'oh. I completely forgot that BG3 was an early access game (and I did buy it right at the start of EA, too, on 6 Oct 2020 according to Steam).
Sometimes, the joke is me!

I was going to say something similar to this, but to actually see the date kinda puts things in perspective. Had no idea it really HAS been 4 years!!

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 from the makers of The Witcher
I'm very close to the end. My next main mission is the 'point of no return' for the main story, and I'm one mission away from the Big Decision in Phantom Liberty. I do appreciate the freedom to choose what to finish and what to ignore (NCPD dispatches, etc) and be able to simply finish when I'm ready.
And I'm nearly ready. I'm loving the game, but it's been front-and-center for months, and I've got a few others that I really want to give some time to.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 from the makers of The Witcher
I have gotten past the tutorial and into the first main mission. I am going with a stealth build on normal, mostly because I suck at combat. Met my first major decision, but research says it really has no future impact either way. Now I want to jump off the rail and start doing side missions before progressing.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 from the makers of The Witcher
Stealth, I have found, is so, so powerful. I also like that they didn't implement it with a straight stealth tree, but with just a couple of skills that build off on another stat.

If you're interested in making sure you don't miss legendaries, my son pointed me to this guide. It's as spoiler-free as it can be, and simply tells you which items are available in which missions.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 from the makers of The Witcher
I have reached the spot where it says: POINT OF NO RETURN.
Of course I backed off to do other things but it appears I am nearing the end. Some people say the real game starts with the DLC. I will probably take a break before going that route.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 from the makers of The Witcher
Well, I'm done. It took me long enough - I'm pretty sure this was a preorder for me, and I had multiple false starts that never got further than the prologue. This time though, everything clicked. It is probably one of the best RPGs I've played in many years.
I went with a female corpo V (tip: if you want corpo, go male - the voice is a much better fit, as female V sounds street regardless), focused on pistols, sniper rifles, and some katanas for combat, with a strong focus in stealth and maxed out cyberware. Quickhacks were there as well, but they were more of a secondary support function than anything. My Phantom Liberty relic was maxed out. Even with the difficulty cranked up to max it was easy by the end (save for the final boss - he was kind of a pain, and took four tries.) Judy was my chosen amor. By the end, I had 144 hours on this save (which is actual playtime - it doesn't record paused time.) I completed a bunch of the NCPD hussles, many jobs and gigs, and all but one sidequest (I deliberately chose not to finish that one.)
My ending for Phantom Liberty:
My ending for the main story:
Some images.
The me (my weapons aren't correct - I equipped different stuff to get a revolver in my main hand for the screenshot, as it's held out of the way):
My stat distribution:
My skills:
I almost - almost got my weapon walls finished. If I wanted to run another 15 jobs I could have finished it, but I am ready to move on. Weapon walls:

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 from the makers of The Witcher
I took the he plunge here with the November PS5 sale. I really haven’t read much about this game and haven’t played much yet. I did create my character which was an eye opener.
I’m looking forward to digging into this some time next week.
