Why did they make the actual sexual content so scarce?

Yea, no, not really... they are telling aus about it... that's what PSA's do too. This is not 8mm, it's a videogame with edgy marketing pretending to be "mature".

No, they're really showing you; Literally the ads plastered all over the city are the definition of showing you. I dont want to go into spoiler territory, but there's plenty of quest (hint: Act 2's main questline with Judy) that are showing you the consequences of consumer side sex and sex trafficking.
 
Started a replay today and turned of after 20 Minutes. Since when in character customization there are boxers with nudity filter off. (so nudity on)

I literally had to say again that my character should please have genitals xD so in future you are maybe male, female, trans or Ken/barbie?
 
Are we still on CP2077 topic here or just random thoughts on other games? This kind of discussion is welcome, either in PMs or in Community section.

I was actually stating that CDPR might also be under contract to not discuss what console companies have asked in a similar fashion, specifically in regards to this. I simply needed to get to that point. Also, the clear difference in production values, distribution methods, and that in business people sign contracts during transactions which can include things like this with those three companies. Merely, to answer continued similar questions.

No, they don't... you see the aftermath of it, if anything, and games like Vampire t M Bloodlines did that quest better 16 years ago.

That was a great game. By the way with the community bug fixes. And yes 16 years.. Feels like yesterday. Was so immersive. Far more than nowadays.
 
scared of us rating system is my guess. its fine to have exploding heads, but to many nipples and it gets slapped with the restricted rating and baned from advertising.
very annoying to have it tailored for nutjob us moral around globe. after all, games got their special eu nutjob versions with green blood and all that for decades. why not have a family friendly sfw version of the game with splodin heads but no nipples for the usa, and a version that is not selfcensored for the rest of the world?
It is 18+ already. How old should you be to see some dick?

You're still literally seeing the aftermath - dead bodies, traumatized characters, etc. Those are seeing the consequences on screen, the actual shock horror of that is offscreen and left to the imagination, I guess you're wanting to see the literal shock smut/XBDs scenes play out? That's even more heavy handed that just leaving it to the imagination, imo.

I will repeat, console ratings worldwide are limited by the U.S. rating system, for one, and two, then they can have ADDITIONAL censorship UNDER CONTRACT by Sony, Microsoft AND Nintendo, to allow the game on their platforms. Also limited by national law for three. We clear?

I can't find any issues with V and D in the description of pegi 18+, for example. We can see guts and can't see some butt? Most of the sex scenes are covered with black underwear now. You can slice ppl with katana and see their blood pumping out but some butt is no-no. No we are not clear.
 
When I say "go back to Clouds" I mean as a customer.

But now I'm going back to see what it looks like with the "happy" ending that I currently have. I can also check the "unhappy" version of the ending of the Clouds storyline (which is what yours sounds like).
Yeah, mine went sideways. Was happy Clouds different than unhappy Clouds?

Cool, fund your own studio, build your own game and go learn then, have fun.

Translation: The bottom line of international corporations is dictating what we are able to handle in our media these days, not national laws... hey cyberpunk, the real world says: Hold my beer. ;)

Oh, in a few nations it is in fact insane national laws, like Australia's madness, we have dealt with some of it but, my gawd what a fight it's been..

Saudi Arabia, another example of government insanity, but, I would be more scared of anything else government related than video games out there..

However, yeah. I still just hope we can get everything as uncut as possible at some later date on PC, because they've done it before. I just have patience because there's a lot of other things they are dealing with right now regarding basic patching.

Depends on the dick... some of em you shouldn't see at any age, really.

But yeah, something something age ratings, something something retailers won't carry an AO rated game. I'm actually surprised they got away with showing genitals for more than a nanosecond.

Although... I don't feel like the game shied away from sexual content, personally - it was there when it made sense, imo, and the world is filled with sexual advertisements, shops etc. Sure, you can't always interact with it, just like you can't always interact with other ads/shops that don't serve gameplay purposes, but it seemed enough to me to convey the idea of the state of oversexualization in the game's world.

Sure, but only an international market can result in wide spread censorship like that... of course there are even more cut versions for specific countries, especially with such a high profile title.

Ah well, we'll see...
 
It is people replying to a post about sexual content in the game, so it would be weird if no one mentioned it in a thread like this :)

But to me, it's more that CDPR have clearly developed a system for doing BDs, with different layers, reverse, forward, scanning etc. And again it was clearly possible in the first trailer they made. So BDs as a functionality and concept within CP is clearly there because they intended it to be used by the players.

I think most people that have tried how they work now, would probably agree that these might as well have been cutscenes and you being given the information instead, without having to scan anything. It's not like you as player have to think about anything when doing it, all the informations that are relevant to the BD or mission are already highlighted for you anyway.

I started my second playthrough, and not sure ill get through it, because the replayability doesn't really seem to be there as they said it was, at least not in regards to the story. But the BD section are not interesting the second time, they are simply time consuming and nothing more.

The whole concept of BDs are highlighted throughout the game, both with random people doing it, characters talking about how it is used, missions and so forth, yet it plays are very little role in regards to the player. It could have been made a lot more interesting and explored in a much better way or simply used as a side activity or a collection reward system. You could find random information on these that could lead to missions etc. Could these BDs contain sex, sure, because that would fit the lore, but that doesn't mean that it should be their only purpose and even if a BD contained that, doesn't mean that it couldn't also at the same time lead to a mission.

Oh I fully agree that BDs are under-used and much more could be done with them. The concept in and of itself is very interesting and works very well. In fact, if all the clues weren't highlighted I could see some really intense investigative missions happening with it.

There could also be sex BDs, sure, as long as it remains really tame. I see people actually angry that BDs do not include porn. Actual animated porn.

With the right tools modders can do it and, hey, if that's your cup o' tea go ahead and download that mod. I ain't judging. To expect it in a triple A game, which would earn it an AO rating, is ludicrous.
 
So, related to the topic, did they tone down some of the in-game ads in one of the patches? I just made a concerted effort to find the one pictured near the bottom of this article: https://techraptor.net/gaming/features/cyberpunk-2077-uncanny-tone

I couldn't find one example of it.

Outfits apparently used to include nudity much more often in the nightlife from 1.0 on. Even pole dancers, both I admit noticing differentials shrinking, but they still exist with plastic see through clothing, simply more rarely. However, the random spawning nature of the game could explain it.

The only direct thing I've found cut was because I modded my game to give me in game nudity. When I am in the world. In 1.04 my genitalia was removed in first person.

The Joytoy I found, showed an R rated sex scene with some nudity, which was what I expected, though as I didn't find her until after patching past 1.04.
