Free DLC Ideas/Quality of Life changes that I think can improve the game.

[chrisghrobot]

• Romance- This is my most requested thing that can be improved and it romances, IMO the best part of Cyberpunk is the characters. It sucks how after the last side mission with the character the most you get from them is a text. And when you go to where they live they literally do the same routine(do they even sleep) and it's the same dialogue options unless it's the main mission. It would honestly be cool to know more about these characters. Like, imagine if you could take your romance on a date or go to a bar and have a nice chat, or even invite them over to your house, or even activities, or more side quests/gigs (this whole paragraph can apply to companions as well besides the dating part).
• Customization- In the future, I hope we get to have full customization over our guns and cars. Idk why we couldn't apply skins on stock guns at launch that makes no sense but I hope that gets implemented later. Also, I hope the clothing system gets a big overhaul(stats wise), the game talks about style and substance but my V looks like a hobo sometimes because I have to prioritize stats, instead have mods or a special type of armor some certain clothing gives you(like bulletproof vest gives you bulletproof in that certain area). And also add a ton more clothing, there's a lot of cool clothes NPCs have that I cant wear, I wished the Mox store had clothing because I liked their style but we didn't get it. Also barbershops and tattoo parlors, I hope they add those and more styles to choose from whenever it gets implemented. And also a plastic surgeon.
• Activities- I hope we can get more everyday activities to take a break from average merc work. Like bowling, movies, casino, shooting range, etc. Also, be cool to bring companions there(like you and Kerry go to a Casino).
• Replay Missions/NG+-Replaying Missions would be a nice addition because I don't wanna make a whole new playthrough just to replay one mission that I missed details on. NG+ would also be nice as well even though I will not personally use it.

Hate to break this to you but 30-45 days to make a patch isn't going to even touch those systems. None of them. It will be things like texture optimizations, HDR and Volumetric fixes, animations optimization et cetera so that they can get it running acceptably on consoles. We'll be lucky to get anything more than a few items and weapons, maybe a few more features for character customization that we wont even be able to see outside of menus or scripted mirrors so it wont matter anyway. We'll be lucky to ever see anything on the scale you are describing wont happen for close to year if we ever see any of that upgraded.
Simple fact is the game is already down 80% of it's player base in under a month. Is it monetarily wise for CDPR to even pursue it at this point is a question left to investors that are currently suing them.

I blame that on the story.

Not because it's bad, but because of how it's implemented. Because it "feels" like it was once a side quest that they broke apart, sprinkled all over the game in bite sized Johnny chunks, stapling them into everything that looked like it might hold a morsel, and called it the main story quest. It makes the story feel "infectious". I complained about this a week after the game launched. Bad idea. Stupid me. But lo-and-behold, here we are a month out, more players are finishing up their first playthrough, and what's one of the big complaints on this forum these days?

Yep. Johnny freakin' Silverhand.

And that really sucks. Because it really is a great story that deserved it's own spotlight within the game. A side quest that you could start and finish in a few hours, would have served it far better in implementation than what they did with it. What they did with it just made it..... annoying. And something a lot of players can't bring themselves to go through more than once.

But to bring this on topic, I'd like to see them use the first DLC as their opportunity to leave that story behind and tell a new one. A better one. V's story. I don't care how they make sense of it. But it needs to be done to re-rail this train wreck. I suggested the "point of no return" as a launch point, since it's the one point that every player has in common.

Gimme some techno-cyberfied excuse for letting me re-create my character since my original body is in a dumpster somewhere because it was useless after Johnny wrecked it. Whatever. Just make it happen. And for cripes sake, STOP locking everything behind quest stage triggers! This is supposed to be an open world game. So open it up. If I want to be stupid and attack a mob with a skull over it's head. Let me. Stop holding my hand. I don't want or need to be "protected".

Never expected this in 30-45 days anyways.. All. I know is we're getting a patch this month and next month and free dlc. But I wouldn't be surprised if barber shops are implemented. Also it was 70% and it's also a single player game that is huge, that is very much normal.

What I was trying to say and must have conveyed incorrectly is that Poland’s own Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (abbreviated UOKIK) is now taking an interest in CD Projekt Red and is monitoring the situation with Cyberpunk 2077 quite a bit. They have threatened to fine them and are monitoring the console progress very closely, a class action lawsuit was filed by their investors under US Law 10-B for securities fraud, and in order to do anything that adds or improves the game is going to cost money. Money they don't have do to the 6.6 billion dollar loss, stock crashes and now private investors that backed them are suing them for misrepresentation. I'd bet dollars to cents we see them getting it running at least acceptably on console and wrap the project all together after this because that is the smart business choice.

Sadly, this is my expectation as well.

Too many of the game's systems are broken to the point that fixing them all would likely be a significantly more daunting task than just rebuilding them all from scratch. Which is not realistically likely to happen either.

They will probably just abandon the game (after years of bug correction) and devote themeselves to other games

They won't....

 

[xCRAZYxPACKx]

It would be very useful to add the attribute reset, it gives more play to others builds
