Cyberpunk 2077 Wish List

+
This will be very long

This is probably too much to ask but I just want the city to be more believable. After spending 120 hours in it stuff starts to wear on me. I've put suggested fixes in parantheses

If a giant video game city gets created supposedly sporting 6 million residents, even in the future, it should sport realistic features that would be required by more a city simulator:

1. More than one high school and more than one baseball field [ perhaps these things exist within some of the giant buildings, would be cool to see. Could show what happens in these huge structures other than corridors with apartments]

2. They have pro sports, where do they play? The stadium appears derelict (is it possible just to have the existing stadium get finished?)

3. A working airport/ spaceport . (There's plenty of room in north of map)

4. Univerities and colleges (Again could be inside buildings, could be outside of city)

5. There's a bus depot with buses and bus stops but no buses on the street. ( is it so much to ask to see a bus driving once in a while?)

6. Trains and traffic in the distant that don't disappear awkwardly and ruin immersion (worst visual thing in game)

7. They reduced the number of dildos how about reducing the number of trash bags. It's too much and distracting. I get they want to make a statement but Night city has something of a functioning government with somewhat functioning services. Are you telling me there's no trash collection? If that's the case how does the trash get to the dump? And in a world with no environmental concerns why not have incenrators?

8. Show garbage trucks, and tow trucks and fire trucks and non flying ambulances (there has to be bargain versions of trauma team...right?)

9. There's a bunch of low density single family homes for poor people in the south of the city yet Nort Oak has like 6 mansions. You are telling me more poor people have yards than rich ones? (Plenty of inaccessible area north of North Oak)

10. Night City is a legal free for all but there are still underground casinos? Why? Why no normal casinos?[ again plenty of buildings for this]

11. Could they provide some/ better explanation as to why when we have smart phones in our brains we have to sit down at desktops, which are EVERYWHERE, to read emails? Maybe during a loading screen or something? (Maybe it has something to do with the largely absent Netwatch)

12.This is an arasaka controlled city shouldn't they make them the ones guarding the border wall? Not millitech. There's little evidence of Arisaka military presence at all in the game world. This would seem easy to change

This and improved AI would fix my biggest beef with CP 2077, namely the claim that thisceould he the most immersive realistic video game city ever and that they only got 75 percent of the way there.
 
Tattoo shops, Chrome skin mod's like Lizzy Wizzy, color selection when crafting clothing/weapons would be cool. Like to see barbershops/salons for characters for nails, hair, makeup stuff. More interaction with the NPC's..I want Purple Forces eyes. The map needs some artifacts to help make jumps possible, other than stairs there's not much to catch some air on. Motorcycles need more lean in turns, a few other bug fixes like the locked throttle on the ARCH when you land hard. More story missions and interaction with Us Cracks and Purple Force, Blue Moon and Red Menace. More, more, more.
 
I'd like to see CDPR hire a few driving simulation coders, perhaps from Codemasters or such, to help with the driving in CP. Expand out the driving and reimagine the driving AI. Right now, the driving quests are terrible with a mouse/keyboard.

Using horse analogy, Maybe forward key for walk {for parking) , shift forward for trot (city driving) , double tap hold shift for speeding.

And have the driving quest route visuals displayed on the roads, not just the minimap.
 
It's true that the north sections of the map deserve some fluffing-up! I'm all for more clothing options too, I just love customisable characters.
I mean, customisation is that relaxing middle step I like to have between the intense concentration from working on something like a report for the activity of this commercial real estate in Munich and the intense concentration from actually playing the game.

I actually think the OP wanted a thread where we list smaller easier to implement features, not "game changing" ones, to build on what's been made. So in my eyes this isn't a thread that's already been made.
That is exactly the point of this thread.
 
-Characters like Takemura ,Mama welles ,Viktor ,Misty ,Jackie ,TBug and Rogue should have their own side quests ,i think the games greatest strength are its characters and the side quests that are connected to them ,its just sad that this makes up a very small portion of the game especially since the story is short ,they should have had focused in these types of side quests instead of filling the map with ubisoft tier Gigs then calling it a day.

-A much longer first act and when i say longer i say atleast 10 hour+ it should explore Vs character ,where V started and how he and jackie managed to reach where they are ,not some 6 month time skip BS thats just plain bad story telling.

-Each life path should have its own unique side quest that tackles Vs past

-More Romance options for straight Male/Female V and just more romance related content/side quests games like Persona series and Mass effect series nails this

-More interactable world ,the world in its current state is shallow AF they really need to add a lot of content and intractability to bring the world to life not just shooting some gangs

I thought of another possible driving tweak.

Getting in a car, hold W to go forward, like normal, but it only gets 1st gear. Still holding forward, press/release the Shift Key to shift into second, again for 3rd, and so on. This way you can drive a steady pace regardless of how fast you want. And if you only go Forward, and don't steer L or R, it automatically keeps you centered in your lane. You can switch lane or turn off, but whenever you release the turn keys, it automatically centers you back into the current lane. Unsure how difficult this would be to code, but I'm fairly sure it's possible.

Or maybe simply hold W to maintain current traffic speed, and Shift will allow you to bypass the limit and speed.

Dunno. But Mouse/ Keyboard driving really needs an overhaul.

idk if you played saint row 2 but cruise control was a major feature that all open world games with driving need. It was a toggle key that maintained the speed you were currently going within 2 to 3 mph. Miss that feature so much.
 
Another little wish - a flashlight. I am just in a dark, abandoned building and I can hardly see anything ...
 
1) Fancy cloths for female V. I thought it was possible to have a Mox-styled look. But there are nearly no sexy cloth
 
Ok FIRST THINGS FIRST fixed AI systems.. jeeezz so bad..
SECOND - a lot of people dont say this but 80% of the meaningful clubs and joints are closed after quests and it bugs me a lot.. WHY?? i wanna go to CLOUDS.. have to climb.. WHY??? Srsly its soo bad and linear...

Ok so like everyone we need RPG elements..
- Barber shops and tatoo aritsts
- Bars with darts and pools
- Sitting in bars and casinos and well drink, eat..
- MAKE CYBERGWENT - they can easily do it.. same rules..
- More relationship for everyone.. maybe joytoys if you are people like that..
- stripclubs..
- Make two types of races after you fix the AI.. death races and regular races... and actually make it an event..
- Make fist fight meaningful.. being recognized as a champion hell in the last fight is like HEEEYY YOU WON ..ok bye..
- Make us go and buy the cars from people.. actual people and if we race them and win we get 25% off the cars.. atleast make it look like a mission...
- Let us transform our clothes like in AC Odyssey.. where we can wear what we want and still get the armor..
- Make the hat disappears from our clothes..
- Get a sky taxi tour.. make it like the Peralez mission where you get into a sky taxi and just takes across the whole city and you just enjoy it..
- Get a gang heat system implemented.. where if we piss them off a lot they send gang members against us.. that means the same for the corps.. they send an assassin after us...
- Make the STREET CRED system means something... if we get to 30 we can buy another apartment and new cars ... other missioins open up... when we get 40 we get the same ... a house or another apartment for sale.. for 50 the same..
- i think that we need a 75 street cred system cause we get to level 50 when we are level 23 of personal level...
- Make lifepaths have more missions before we are the street kid V.. cause we always end up that guy... it doesnt matter lol
- Make an internet pages where we can trade stocks.. make somethings to be bought online.. like mr stud or something... or a parachute or something.. a jetpack xD
 
One of those threads that needs to be checked and posted in :)
I'd like to dedicate a thread to that which we would all like to see in the game--the niceties, not anything that would bring the game up to an acceptable state, but rather those that would improve upon it. Here's my list:
- Ability to sell vehicles I no longer need/want
- Selection to change the minimap scopesize (I find the radius that is shown a bit small)
- Different icons for cars on sale and group the missions into one (and add picture in the mission, I always have to look back in the messages which car is which)
- Color change options for clothing and vehicles (can be presets)
4. Having shops, bars, cyberpsychos, and really everything else appropriately labeled on the map. How many times have we tried going to a specific location like Lizzy's or Jinguji only to have to look it up online? In addition, every location that we visit as part of a side job or mission should even be marked on the map for easier identification.
This! (Mark the Afterlife already :p )
- Ability to select next track on a radio station (I believe isn't there now)
- Either post-ending story content or altered ending
- Expanded story with additional acts and stretch the pacing (see this topic as an example: Topic: SPOILERS: About the endings
- More romancible characters
- More sidemissions with the (romancible) characters as well as added activities to keep updating/refreshing the romance state.
- More races (such as those with Claire)
- Random gang wars and/or heavy duty police responces.
- Ability to team up with a romancible character during freeplay jobs, as in a companion. (I could accept if this was temporary)
- Siding with factions, and thus making enemies or "on edge" with other factions. ie: Maelstrom, VDB, Animals etc.
- A button to select "all" items of a type if I want to sell them, or the checkbox system for example

Some stuff in here is big, but I've also looked at several quality of life aspects I could think off.
 
1) Bring back cutscenes. Give us the reason to care how our V looks like.

2) More fashion choices, more clothing in general. Mike Pondsmith told me fashion is a big deal in Night City. Why do I always look like a member of really bad Nu Metal band from the early 2000's ?

3) Interaction with the world. I want to eat at restaurant, even if it does absolutely nothing. Also, where are barbers ?

4) Now this is basicaly a rant. Why I can turn off nudity but horrible and disturbing violence is not optional ?

I have something specific to share - That BD scene with man tortured on the chair will stick with me for many years. I am serious, my stomach hurt so bad I had to stop playing the game to calm down. That horryfing ambient music didn't made it easier for me. As far I am concerned, game forced me into watching snuff film from my own perspective. But hey, I can put pixels over my nipples. Thank God for that...

I am actualy really angry about this^.

5) More interactions with love interests. Some scenes are very romantic but it wasn't enough of them. CDPR doesn't have to write new Romeo and Juliet. Just give me more love stories, and some sort of continuation outside of main quests.





 
Okay, time to add my two eddies' worth:

First off, while many have generally complained about tweaking the AI, let me give some specifics. When stealth attacking, fix the AI so whoever we're attacking doesn't AUTOMATICALLY run in our direction when they have no way of knowing where we are! It's annoying as hell when I'm stealth zapping some gonks with Contagion and ducking back behind a wall only for them to all look/charge in my direction when they have no way of knowing my position, as opposed to spreading out in a search pattern or even running the wrong way or shooting wild in a panic.

Second, clothing customization/tailoring, even if we have to have a shop do it. Give us colors, patterns, textures, and materials (silk, synth leather, velour, denim, etc.).

Third, weapon skin customization. Not that I don't appreciate different styles, but it shouldn't be too much to customize a paintjob.

Fourth, either give us flashlights or cybereye mods for enhanced (low light/nightvision/spotlight) capabilities. I don't mind dark places, but something THIS simple should have been a given.

Fifth, more ACTUAL "adult" stuff. CDPR kept saying this game had an "adult" atmosphere, but I'm seriously wondering what they consider "adult" to mean because most of what's in the game is unimpressive on that score. I should be able to walk into a strip club and see actual naked people on stage or buy a lap dance if I want. Half the pole dancers I see in shop windows are wearing what looks like WINTER GEAR (puffy coats, thick pants, large boots, knit hats).

There should be be more than just ONE of each kind of joytoy on the streets. In fact, there should be a 'net site where you can order a joytoy to come to your apartment for some private service. There could even be some side missions where you act as a bodyguard for a Mox on a job, or even get hired for a bouncer's position at a club because some notorious troublemaker is due to roll in.

Most of what has been described as "adult" frankly rates somewhere between "tame" and "lame." This game wasn't intended for little kids. Give us some REAL adult content, not just some randomly placed bare tits.

Sixth, STREET CRED, make it MEAN something. Okay, the bonuses are nice, but if we're supposed to be so well-known, have people actually RECOGNIZE us. Maybe we walk into a ripperdoc's shop and they greet us by name and tell us about new stock they've got in that they think we might want. Or we get into a fight and the gonks suddenly realize who they're facing and either run away, surrender, or maybe even go overboard fighting us at the thought of how their OWN rep would go up from defeating us.

Seventh, also about street cred, RANDOM CHALLENGES. As your street cred goes up, your notoriety should cause you to face competition determined to take you down a peg. Maybe a street ganger thinks taking you down will raise their status in the gang. Maybe a Corp goon comes after you because your actions are costing the corp unacceptable losses in profit.

Eighth, humanize V a bit more. Make V actually NEED to eat and sleep. Sure, you can throw drugs in to let V go longer between rest periods (maybe with a slowly building penalty for exhaustion), but if humanity is supposed to be such a big deal, put more of V's skin in the game.

Okay choombas, Skippy's starting to whine about needing a cleaning. Later!
