Revenge in this game is shit [Spoilers]

[CTPhipps]

Seriously, revenge is one of the most basic of all cyberpunk and noir motivations.

If not gaming.

Revenge in Cyberpunk 2077? Nope.

THE GOOD.

* You can kill Woodman and the Voodoo Boys for killing Evelyn so this is the one exception.

THE BAD

* Jackie is killed by a random Arasaka drone and not, say, Adam Smasher.

* Dex is killed by Goro.

* Yorinobu tries to kill you once but actually killed Saburo Arasaka, which is like killing Hitler

* You can't kill River's serial killer and even he backs down from doing it if you encourage him to.

* If you do kill Adam Smasher for killing Johnny/Rogue/Saul, you don't get any unique animations. He just sort of falls over.

* Oddly, very little revenge on YOU as Oda never shows up again despite you humiliating him. Sparing him means nothing.

Yea i killed those i could too. But reloaded the save before killing voodo boys since i thought they migh thave a role to play. All i got was a threatening text from Placide.

In one ending, there is this great moment where your V brutally starts beating the snot out of someone when you're not in control of him.


..and that is exactly the kind of thing I would love to see come about from a dialogue choice from some of the scum you encounter.

Fingers was a pleasure to beat alittle. Way to few options like that ingame. its mostly just threatening a little with [Body]

 

[CyberScorpyKiky]

game is good

I'm confused why we leave him with just a beating. The guy sold Evelyn to snuff dealing sex slaves.

That is pretty death worthy.

Not to mention there is no evil ending.

Someone said that they shot him in the head after Judy left, so if you want to kill him you can. No idea if the cops start teleporting in if you do...

Araska ending needed more "And then Arasaka ruled the world for 1000 years of horror."

Killling Woodman was pretty disappointing experience to be honest. It should have been more dialogue driven event.

He just acts all cocky when a merc is coming to murder him, combat starts, then he’s just dead. No pleading, no fear, no final words, nothing.

I guess “revenge is disappointing” was kind of the thesis anyway, based on Judy’s dialogue afterwards, but it was disappointing in unrealistic way.

Oda shows up in the Arasaka ending if you spare him and manage to save Takemura

I got to do an extra killing shot on him after he fell to the ground. I smashed his head in with Denny's baseball bat. Felt good.

 

[CitizenMigraine]

How humiliating would it be to beat Woodman to death with a giant dildo? Has anyone done this?

 

[CTPhipps]

I kind of felt the hookers at Clouds were a bit ungrateful if you read their e-mail to Judy at her apartment. "Everything is just the same! Maiko won't give us a raise or paid sick leave! Yes, the Tyger Claw guards are gone but it's so unfair!"

Yes, I'm so sorry the rape and murder being stopped isn't enough for you.

I did!!! I also used it to stun Maiko without killing her.

 

[keghi11]

I mostly let them go. I only massacre VDB and shot Woodman nuts until I emptied my clips. I don't bother with Fingers since he's already miserable. As for Adam Smasher, I turn back and killed him after he start talking "This is not the end! We'll meet again!" when I'm about to leave.

 

[MAXXVOLTAGE]

yea i really wanted to kill dex myself

 

[CitizenMigraine]

yea i really wanted to kill dex myself

I honestly thought that would be an option in the room at the No-Tell Motel. Dex is a moron

It's like 90% certain that Dex is the one who called Goro and told them you killed Saburo, thus starting Goro's entire quest.
