[SPOILERS] End-Game And Suspicions About The First DLC

+
Tbh on PC it's nothing big, I wonder how the optimalisation changed on consoles(patch weights around 20gb there)
Im pretty disappointed :/
Edit: i just checked the ps4 1.1 video and still game barely works. You can notice difference but it's still far from good :/
 
Yeah...probably don't want to dilly dally after beefing with Militech, Nightcorp, AND Arasaka. The time frame for the Sun ending is like, 3 months after Mikoshi? And the time frame for the Devil is a few weeks at most... I'm basing this on him informing V they have 6 months and will be dead by winter.

Seems like they can just bring the Star and Devil endings up 2 - 3 months to line up with the Sun ending when you jettison into space.
With the Star ending, During the interactive dialogue with Alt in Mikoshi, IIRC Alt informs V that due to the genetic alterations the biochip has done to the body if V returns then they will have 6 months remaining to live (due to the body fighting off the psyche as an infection now)
I believe this timeframe is the best/ longest one taking into account it's Alt whose doing the work. As a former Netrunner turned "sentient" Ai construct, her ability to actually "see" code is on a level I compare to Neo "seeing" the Matrix. Hellman may have created the biochip, but Alt has been living in the Blackwall for 50 years. The only reason why her plan to save V fails is that as an AI construct, her main logical processing is digital-based. Hence why she says, "The one factor I forgot about is the human body". That's my opinion anyhow. But back to the point, Star End credits, I'd vote for a week at most has passed. Cant see any longer.
 
Also the Casino is definitely going to be making an appearance in DLC. We got the concept art. We got assets for some things like casino chips and cards. I think this is definitely going to happen, whether its apart of an expansion or a free update I can't be certain. I think making an expansion for this can only include so much. Unless its one of a few large things being added in one expansion.

Feels like this would be part of any MP content.

They just drop this today or something?

The MP from what little info has came out has alluded to the MP being a separate game. Also if the MP follows the left over coding found in the game, it will likely just be a Deathmatch sort of game. Assuming its not canceled, which probably wouldn't be a huge blow. Unless they want some casual online PvP gambling, it will likely just be a single player area used for one or two missions in an expansion or free side questline. Also for replayability for those into playing card games or what ever casino games they add.

Nah, its been available for a while. I'm not sure exactly when it was released the public. Its concept art, so its existed for a while.

Hm, could very well be.
But, oh it would be so damn hilarious (translate: sad) if a DLC would have more replayability than the original game.
 
So I replayed the ending a couple times and was thinking. What If the crystal palace heist isn't going to have anything to do with the next DLC and what if Mr. B.E (just the proxy) have nothing to do with the expansion or atleast in the way we think it will. I think its possible regardless the ending you choose (except the suicide ending and Johnny ending) that they skip a year ahead (or however much time they feel is necessary) and explain that you found a cure to reverse the effects of what the biochip did to you or that your body is taken out of the save your soul program (be it from Arsaka or someone else). The introductions to this will be unique based on the ending (to continue the immersion of player choice) and ontop of that they could say an event took place which overthrew Arasaka leadership or ended Arasaka as a whole (could be a war with Militech). This could account for different ending effects on what happens to Arasaka and also allows for things in the city to be changed drastically. Regardless what happens it brings you back to NC (I just cant see them adding any expansions outside of NC). This to me makes the most sense. It ties together the endings and allows for a smooth transition into a new story. As long as the introductions make sense and are well written (because they can play a very similar role to life paths) this I think would make all of us happy. It can lead to a new story and closes up the old one, it can allow for an updated map, easiest way to mitigate plot holes, allows for all endings (except the two mentioned) to tie together, and allows for us to keep our progress and inventory. Sorry if this has been said already but I really believe that if we are going to see Post story DLC, its the best to skip ahead and not tie it together with Mr. B.E and the heist. More so the heist. Though if Mr. B.E is to be included I think all intros start with the person behind the Mr. B.E proxy. They could either become the protagonist or antagonist of the main story. Once again I still believe militech is going to play a major role. This I could write about another day.
 
Then this wouldnt be cyberpunk 2077 but cyberpunk 2078 or something.

But thats what deus ex mankind divided did, in fact thats what the entire deus ex series did. It made all possible endings true and canon. Even if all the endings are divergent (arguably so are all of deus ex endings), they can all be true at once.

Meaning arasaka had the meeting, Saburo was put into yorunobus body, at the same time rogue, as well as the aldecados raided arasaka tower. Rogue, saul, and a couple of other aldecados were killed. V could have been a part of any of this.

V then left the city with the aldecados, then returned a month later and became a legend. He then goes to the crystal palace for the heist, and either this could be where the new dlc picks up, or something.

I guess that multiplayer will contain many modes from races to deathmatches. But gambling will not be a thing, in many games like GTA V online(that will be a big inspiration for this mode i think) the whole casino is blocked in europe due to gambling law(im not a lawyer, dont ask me why i only know that it is blocked) or something like that. Even though the game have 18+ Pegi rating. You can enter the casino and even buy a penthouse there but u can't use any kind of slot machine and other gambling stuff. I guess that the same thing would happen if this kind of thing would come to cp2077 online.

Bit anticlimatic to have the cure/new body issue solved off screen (would prefer it in a sort of prologue within the expansion) but it's better than making survival the focus of the story again.
