Why was braindance removed, especially since we can buy braindances?

+
It's extremely disappointing that braindancing is so limited in this game, as it's one of the absolute coolest features about it.
 
The cut content is crazy there were supposed to be combat drugs and others consumables with different and recreational effects but theres what 4 maybe 5 Pharma consumable....its just the take from the immersion out of the world. Then all the clubs in the city that look done and we seen in trailers with dancing and stuff but only 2 or 3 are accessible outside of jobs. It takes a amazing game that could have been the (RPG) game of the decade and made it a little more immersive the GTA. I just truly hope CDPR fix the soft points. I think they will, so crossing my fingers. I guess if it come down to it we can try to fix it with mods, but hope it wont come to that.
 
In some of the prerelease footage, we see that one of the features in V's apartment is Braindance. I could forgive the exclusion of the feature if BDs weren't available to buy in the red light district and if Judy didn't give us the Braindance wreath to keep. What are we supposed to do with them? They're useless. Why buy them? Just to say you have them? It's especially disappointing since there are only two hookers--a male and a female--compared with the huge variety of choices in Witcher 3. The lack of choice could have been made up for with erotic BDs. Can we expect more hookers or the BD feature to return? Maybe as some of that planned free DLC? I get the strong feeling that CDPR had to make cuts to get this game out on schedule. Would be nice to have some of the planned features back.

When looking at the completeness of the current game, it seems that it was all a lie.
 
Activities and things to do.

They are already looking at AI and NPC behaviour which I hope is a lead in to getting all the activities they said were going to be in the game to make night city feel alive added back into the game.

Because at the moment, you can literally only do five things:

1) Go shopping for weapons (which is bad because there arent really that many weapons).
2) Go shopping for clothes (which is also bad because again there arent really that many choices)
3) Play whack-a-mole with 'reported crimes' which tend to be the same 4-5 things repeated instead of each being unique.
4) Do side missions (gigs)
5) Do the main missions.

Thats it. There is literally nothing else to do.

They also need to completely add in extensive customisation for vehicles and V's apartment. Also, barbers alongside a massively expanded customisation pool for character looks is needed, as is better customisation in the Ripperdocs with regards to cybernetics and the visual looks of our cybernetics.

yup i absolutely agree, i'm 120 hrs into the game, although i enjoy the missions and the game in general, there really is not much to do other than side quests and main story, we get a handful of races, a handful boxing matches, a few braindances tied into the missions, 2 joytoys (2 more at later stage).
Too all the responses saying that we are emphasizing on the wrong things instead of bugs, we understand bug fixing is important but we also need to know are they going to implement more stuff to do in general? just take yakuza for example, you have so many stuff to do other than main missions and side activities and that really adds to the fun factor of the game.
so what if we wan more sex in the game? so what if we wan to watch erotic braindances in the game? we just wan more stuff to do , the game so hyper sexualized on the surface but ends up feeling so shallow.

Totally your opinion, and what angers me the most is that I can't find a statement from them regarding the cut content.
 
the main issue right now is that last gen consoles has problems and they cloud deeper problems with game itself, i hope devs can see through that. Console problems may look overwhelming and take the spotlight, but game itself needs adjustment too.
 
In V's apartment there is a chip that describes current new hot braindance releases and it talks about genres like horror, action etc. A lot of people argue against braindances with the excuse that people just want porno in their game.

And while I personally don't see what's wrong with wanting erotic content in a game like this that is suppose to be mature themed, there are clearly other options, genres and themes to explore with braindances.

I think, since braindance is meant to be a first person experince for the consumer, it could open up possible future DLCs in a form of replayable quests.

As I understood, the BDs we see ingame are raw material, that is why we can investigate it with the different layers. If we are talking about edited commercial BDs, then it makes sense to have them as just a simple sidequest that you play through as someone else. Temporarily.

So my suggetion is I guess. Make the buyable commercial BDs into replayable sidequest. That way we have BDs, and it doesn't have to be just porn.
 
I honestly think this is what happened. They where gonna put the sex stuff in. And got slapped with AO rating. That's probably why all the sex got messed up. You can't do full on raw sex stuff in games, without going into AO rating. That could have also been why they went the whole first person route. It blocks most of the actual sex from view. River's sex scene is mostly blocked. You get one 4 second glimpse of V from a mirror. Mostly kissing. And River does her from behind. So you're leaning on a window away from him. V never looks down, behind, or say anything erotic.
 
i honestly have no idea, why there is so few joytoy compare to Witcher 3. And braindance was either unfinished or scrapped all together. Sad though
 
Yeah I thought the BD was something big in this game, bought the npc ones in hopes to be able to have a private strip show or something crazy! Like watching murders or something for fun.
 
i was really wondering if i missed something in the game since i saw those in shopn until i saw this post. Thanks. Its sad cauz when the braindance was explained in game , i though it would be an important part of the game.
 
A sex shop that sells braindance chips that does nothing, and only 2 joytoys.. what people dont understand is these stuff matters, it breaks immersion, it makes game element feel superficial, same like how all the bars, cafes, restaurants food stands feel superficial, everything is only surface level, and i thought they want to give us the most immersive experience ever
 
V do not go full nude outside of the inventory screen.As far of BD I have faith that CDPR team will surprise us who is loyal to a treat so sweet we all will have cavities....
Post automatically merged:
 
Same reason they excised third person, same reason there's no nudity outside inventory:

Walmart will never carry an AO game, and they wanted console sales.

Which sure did turn out to pay off!
 
basically the game is mostly just clearing side missions, gigs and story mission, all the other stuff is just build for photomode.
i guess this is what they feel is immersive....
 
I really hope they add Wet Dream and other BD's in the future, but yes. Anyone who thinks this game isn't unfinished in a lot of aspects are kidding themselves. It's such a shame.

I haven't finished the game yet, but I'm sad that
we never meet Sasha from 3 mouths 1 desire or get to experience that BD either
 
I say that they wait until they have gotten all of their sales in, and then release AO content as DLC. Maybe make it PC only if that would affect its status on consoles.
