Is it me, or does everyone have a raging hardon for romancing Judy?

+
I married a punk girl with a heart of gold in real life.

But the thirst for Judy is kind of unsettling.

This is like the old pre-ME2 Tali days of Bioware.

But there was a LOT of build-up in people's heads that went into fanfiction areas. Take the Meredith Stout fans, "I WANTED MY CORPO TO MARRY HER! WE WERE GOING TO HAVE CORPO BABIES!"

I'm like, "No one said she was going to be a major character, dude."
1. Tali? For real?? She is a fucking mask with weird legs. much more a liara fan here
2.corpo babies? :D LOL
3. Fuck judy
 
Considering GoG says 36% of players finish Panam's story and 25% finish Judy's story, I'd say there is more interest in Panam.

I wouldn't put too much faith in those reported numbers. For the first week I was playing the game via the executable so Steam could report I was playing it (to get all my Steam friends to stop asking if I was playing the game yet) and I discovered later on that GoG wasn't tracking playtime or achievements for that period. Though in my case, it was the opposite, I'd done Judy's quest while it was reporting and Panam's while it wasn't. I've had to redo a lot of them to get "credit" for them and it seems there are a few I may never get now even on another playthrough played entirely through Galaxy.

The noisiest people are not necessarily giving you a good indication of what is actually happening (with this game or any of a number of fandoms).
You need also to consider that Panam storyline was required for having nomad ending. So everyone who spoiled themselves endings or just wanted to do them all needed to go complete it.

But yes, if you choose Maiko and take the Eddies you can't finish Judy. Male V would also possibly not finish Judy if the players realized there is no romance.
 
I'm by no means an expert, but here's why that is, IMHO, and why it doesn't surprise me in the slightest. Lets consider some general assumptions:
- Most gamers are male
- Most people are straight, therefore most gamers are straight
- Most gamers will probably pick their own sex when making a character, therefore most gamers will first create a male character

No percentages here - I don't have any statistical charts, but I'd be willing to make a good bet that the above statements are true.

Now lets add one more fact:
- The romance "options" (plural) in the game don't exist. There's ONE romance option. Unless you're bisexual, then you get two, but (see point two) most gamers aren't bi.

Thus you get a lot of posts from a) people somewhat disappointed with the general lack of choice and b) just being disappointed with the lack of THIS particular choice.
So you are arguing that the artists/developers should compromise their vision to cater to a portion of the player base?
 
Sorry but if you're a dude and want to bone Judy, you don't like her, you like the person that you want her to be. Her sexuality is ingrained into her character from her style to her mannerisms. She's very pretty don't get me wrong, but it's kind of gross to disregard a fundamental aspect of her character.

It's just pixels I know, but it's important imo, and if she was real and knew all her male chooms were secretly wishing she wasn't who she was so they could try and bone her, she'd be pretty devastated considering you're like, the last genuine connection she has with someone in NC.

If you empathise with her character, storyline and care about her, zip up your pants.
 
Kinda eh?

So there are two romances in this game that are worth a damn, one is Panam and one is Judy. The others are just shoe horned romances there to cater to the rest of the sexual identifiers, but as romances go they are horrible.

Panam and Judy though play parts in both the main story and side stories and you get to know them pretty well. I'm not sure if the romance is there because she's hot (okay we're talking about gamers here, anything that revolves around a cute anything with boobs anything will get a vocal minority of gamers off at their keyboards) but really its because she's one of two fleshed out, identifiable romance options that you actually get to spend more time with then a couple of car rides and a mission or so.

I find it interesting that people will turn to mods or cries for the developer to change the game rather than you know ... just creating a femm V. Like are my friends and I the only people who create a bunch of different Vs? I got Vs for every occasion baby! ... It's also why I despretely need a profile system for this game.

Yeah forsure, playing as Valerie is a pretty different experience too, some lines and situations just hit different, especially the entire Takemura arc.

On the topic of Judy though, one thing they got wrong is her ending for male V, you really should be able to bring her along with the Aldecaldo's regardless of gender, she's really set up to be a BFF, she'd want to be around V in his final months.
 
Well as said just above me judys clearly written and you want romance her just make a female v its easy, indo think judy and panam are well developed characters compared to other romance options just pushed in near the end. Hopefully a dlc can fill there storys out better as well.
My first toon was a fem v based on a look judge anderson cybrrpunkish and to have a romance with judy .
Second toon i madeanother female toon but doubt will go judy this time as shes my character was a planned trans and might romance river but will hold back on that toon until i see future plans
 
I consider girls with a smoking addiction, too many tattoos to count, and shaved heads to be unattractive so I personally don't get the appeal. Plus she came off as self-destructive during her search and revenge endeavors which was disgraceful to see. I liked her better behind a monitor (AKA when I knew less about her).
 
I get shes hot as heck for a lesbian, I get Kerry is too, and Panam...River is....kinda eh.

Its just the weirdest obession right now in the Cyberpunk community and its kinda scary
i kinda liked her...
then she left me in one of the endings, because she still whants to leave NC...
now i kinda dislike her

Well then
you will either be lucky next time to get the right ending with right romance, or you wont like anyone. Every single romance character leaves you in one ending and stays with you in another, so it's matter of luck.

I agree with the first sentence, but her style/mannerisms don't telegraph lesbian to me. Legit I know a ton of lesbians, they vary significantly in aesthetics and such. If I had to assume through generalizations I'd say I know more bi and even straight women that are like Judy than I do lesbians, but that said, if that's her orientation that's her orientation regardless of presentation.
