Braindance porn genuinely curious how people view this

[Bulletproff]

A thread discussing this got deleted for delving into politics. This is not that! I genuinely wish to know if people who have played the game or is playing the game can tell me how or if they wish it implemented?

If yes: How should the approach be?

If no: explain why.

ALSO PLEASE STAY ON TOPIC MODERATORS ARE GOING SCORCHED EARTH IF THERE IS POLITICS INVOLVED. So no speculations on why it was cut. Thank you

No.

There's porn on the internet if you need it. This is a Cyberpunk game, not a hentai game.

 

[Gillian_Seed]

Personally I would welcome it but I don't expect it. I do however expect something, some kind of experience that equates to the so called mature themed, dark future Night City world I was sold.

Strippers in strip clubs is the floor. Right now, there is no floor.

EDIT: I didn't vote because its not a yes or no either way for me.

Yeah the developers are going to sit there develop p**n in their game when there is other badass sh*t they can do

Eh...there are porn brain dances in the cyberpunk game world you're talking about we just cant experience them so I can't agree that your comment is valid.

Well, since I was too 'off topic' in my last post, let me try to fix that.

As far as implementation, the BD headsets should have a slot on them just like all other slotted equipment, that BD chips can go into, and when you're wearing it you can slot it into your hotbar where your grenades or any other usable item would go. If you use it (and you're not in combat) it would activate the BD that was on the chip you slotted.

That would make the most sense to me.

Like cutting stuff out

there's a lot of things in the cyberpunk world that don't appear in the game, if that's your argument, then why aren't you making the case for the 100's of weapons and pieces cyberware that isn't in the game? there's like 50+ corps in the game world, why aren't you also arguing for them to be represented? hell there's even vampires in cyberpunk game world...why aren't you asking for them?

Because its not the same debate therefore not the same argument. My argument is in response to a statement which essentially said "what is in the game is not in the game and shouldn't be in the game because it's the kind of game that it is" which is a contradiction.

The stated reasoning as to why is the issue. It would be like saying there should be no fish in the ocean because its the ocean. There is already fish in the ocean thus fish belong in the ocean.

ok, but "adult" brain dances are but a tiny part of the cyberpunk lore, it's not everything about cyberpunk, there's also the issue of sales, if you and others got their way, this game would only be available from "adult" stores/websites due to it's graphic nudity, it was cut/censored for a reason, there's been like 12 threads on this and all get merged or locked, best thing to do is wait for modding tools whenever they come out and let the modders make your porn for you.

 

[ToyboxK]

I get both sides of this argument here.

On the one hand, if it's available in the world and it's able to be put in the game I can understand wanting it included.

On the other hand, there are TV shows and products shown to us in Cyberpunk that we can never watch and never buy, which is honestly fine. I can't expect them to go through that much trouble. I think the major point of contention here is that they promised that BD would be a big part of the experience, sort of like how the Witcher series had that really popular card game. BD was supposed to be sort of like that.

So imagine if the Witcher series talked about this really cool card game everybody plays and is a huge part of the world and the story, but in game all you got was an item that said 'deck of cards' with no interactivity.

That is kind of what's irritating people most, I believe. Honestly, I have no personal interest in the BD or the sex scenes in this game. For me, it's just about the immersion itself, and the fact that there are so many breaks in it, some of which include the nudity or sexual parts of this game, is what is killing my enthusiasm to keep playing it. I'm not looking for porn. I can find porn. What I'm looking for is to not be ripped out of my immersive experience by hitting an invisible wall that shouldn't be there, literally or metaphorically. In this case, BD's having no functionality at all is one such invisible wall. Even if I had no interest in using it, knowing that it's no different than any other junk item in the game is kind of a downer because it shows where all the cracks in the scenery actually are.

I had a similar experience when I found a jar of hair dye on a character I looted. For a brief moment I was like, "Wait, can I use this to change the color of my hair?" no. It's just a junk item worth 3 bucks. Because of course it is.

I would love to see BD in the game. Some porn sure, because yeah we all know that if BD was real, porn would be the most popular kind. But I'd like to see more other stuff, really. When you read about BDs in game, there are so many different experiences that you can buy. Could be all kinds of stuff. Things that show more of the world and lore of Cyberpunk. Some beautiful experiences, like a child being born or visiting a beautiful place. And also some of the fucked up stuff...violence, suicides, drug trips, whatever. It would be a good chance to increase immersion and dive deeper into the lore. But probably too work intense to be feasable. Maybe as part of an expansion pack at some point?

 

[EngryEngineer]

I'd love to have a few recreational brain dances, I'd like if they weren't all sex/strippers, but I'd like a couple of those too

 

[MojoBreaker]

idk maybe softcore erotic dances that be nice, but hardcore porn definitely not.

 

[Bulletproff]

I would have loved to see BDs that are like documentaries about night city.

 

[Dydric]

yes! this game was marketed for adult game but it is not. its all lies.. this game is more like PG13

 

[MM0Junkie]

I would have loved to see BDs that are like documentaries about night city.

and they'd have to all be narrated by Sir David Attenborough or Morgan Freeman

You asked why I disagreed with a contradiction and then layed an accusation at my feet which is a perception of your own imagination as to what my desires are according to your own inability to perceive them even though I've stated them plainly. I've also stated that I expect drug dealers to sell drugs instead of medicine. Since you arrived at this conclusion of imagining I expect a porn game though I've never said as much but rather in the very thread expressed that I didn't, what is that you imagine I expect regarding drugs? GTA has topless strippers and you can have plenty of your own drug factories to sell drugs yourself and do you call GTA adults only?

You made many assumptions and incorrect correlations through projecting your own mind onto me.

V doesn't even have a TV in his apparment...

Should it be in the game? Yes, but should it REALLY? It's complicated.

If the aim was to simulate Night City to be our playground, it should definitely be in but the realities of it simply don't add up. What does it add? Nothing, go watch porn on the internet instead. Sex scenes with characters in the world are an important part of relationships but, again, they don't add anything, not really, unless there is something happening that impacts the overall narrative.

I know it's exciting and cool when you're younger, but sex in video games simply do not add anything of value UNLESS something happens during sex that's important to the narrative, and even then it could just be handled with pillow talk. Is seeing animated sex worth it, when you know it's gonna get banned in certain countries? Or, like in this case, censored anyway because Sony says so?

Like, you have to take the big picture into consideration.
