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

[wolfmanrip]

It's one of the 20 other cut features that were butchered out the game so the shareholders and the CDPR bosses could get their money this year. They failed or didn't bother to remove placeholder assets all over the map and in certain quests. As soon as the main linear story was done they rushed it to release cutting all the open world features they been discussing in videos over this year and previous years. There's signs they started the features and cut em off like raw nerves.

The only thing groundbreaking about this game is the amount of placeholder assets left in like raw pieces of code to be discovered.

This game was advertised to people like it would be a open world RPG in a living city with plenty to do outside of missions. All of it was cut. The police wanted level system, Vehicle and NPC AI are still in Alpha state. This game was released while still in Alpha and there's no excuse for it.

If they wanted to release a linear story without a open world than it should have been advertised as such and built to accommodate that. The story doesn't even ask any thought provoking questions like many sci-fi games/films that deal with human augmentation, cyborgs, AI and robots.


This should have been CD-PR's Red Dead Redemption 2, GTA 5 or Fallout 4. Instead we got Mass Effect Andromeda.

I'd also like to be able to do more brain dances. They were a cool thing to do the few times you do.

The game, in a lot of moments, looks very strange. Exploiting the theme of sexuality, the protagonist is restricted in sex. This is the first game in history where you can choose the length and type of penis, but it can not be seen even in the mirror.
Why did you do this, for what? I don't have any answer to that.

Lol yep, i thought the same. Can't even see my character get head and why are mirrors not just mirrors, why do you specifically need to look. Defeats the point of the RTX

2021, cyberpunk turns into hardcore porn simulator because of dodgy BD vendor in game, some of the titles are obvious you wouldn't be able to watch them and even be banned in some countries, so they are just props for thee world clearly. Did you really think you could watch something as dark as the titles on the BD's in the game?

It'd be cool if my romance, who is a BD specialist, created one for me to watch as I'm on the road.

Also, I'm having a lot of fu

Also, I'm having a lot of fun in the game!

That's actually not true. You have way more penis customization in conan in terms of size and shape.
There is even physics on the balls, people made videos about it.

I think he means it makes non sense at all to add sex customization and it has zero uses nor funcionnality in the game. It's completely useless, idiot and contradictory.

Char customization in general is the same. Unless you specifically go look and activate a mirror, or drive in 3rd person.

There are lot of content CDRprojekt was not able to add for intern reasons we are not aware. It can be legal issues for countries, logistical issues, ressources human issues, or contracts issues with investors or partners etc...
It's not that CDRprojekt doesn't want to add contents and all features they showed us nor they are evil. It' s more complex with partners discussion, right, and some logistical plannnig.

i think the story was good without being too cringey or pretentious. it might be derivative of do androids dream, but it's a different spin. instead of replicants, it's ai singularity and deep learning being able to replicate a human mind to a degree that is indistinguishable from the real thing.

and to be frank, what other sci fi game has actual thought provoking stories? i don't know of any. rockstar games are equivalent to mindless pop corn flicks.

 

[Shuriuken]

With the amount of whining going on in this thread, just go watch some porn if that's what you want to see. What you're asking for would have got the game refused classification, then we'd still be sitting here waiting for the game to be released while they censor everything to appease the fuddy duddies in charge of classification

There was supposed to be cyberware for that too, but it's now one of the many features stripped away from the game https://www.criticalhit.net/gaming/...nt-augmentations-thats-it-thats-the-headline/

 

[bullistics]

If they had to cut BD functionality out due to not being able to complete it, or implement the game mechanic/feature into the final product, I feel they absolutely have to bring them back! It's such a large part of the cyberpunk culture as well as the tabletop game itself.

Kinda blows me away this actually isn't a game mechanic/feature.

 

[HugsOptional]

I hate BDs. They need to go away for good. I've better times with self mutilation then getting thru them.

 

[hulkman2456]

Sorry, Saints Row 3 beat 2077 by 10 years. I was hoping the Brain dance feature was gonna be used more. I really liked it more than Detective mode in Batman Arkham games. They could still do something. Like River could act kind of like Batman. Where you do some missions that require the BD to be used. In order to solve them. At least figure out what happend to the old mayor.

Yeah now that you mention that I can see this getting REAL tricky. I mean I was about to post about how this BD things will be a great opportunity for mod makers because mod authors could make very short "skits" in a reasonable time using existing animations and new voice overs the same way we did cut scenes in Oblivion and Skyrim mods.

I was thinking about making one for the roller coaster ride for example!

BUT... can you imagine the horrible things armatures/hobbyists (with no repercussions) could end up putting on theses BD mods and be "artistically" protected/excused (what ever) because this is the kind of stuff that is suppose to be on these black market BD?

YIKES!!!!

Yes. It be a thing for serial killers. And probably even form cults. BD's would probably become a drug on itself.

 

[Marco_Zampano]

The BD's are a great multiplayer feature!

You can record your game play and release it for your friends or whatever!

The problem is, you can't feel the BD, the emotions and feelings are missing.

So it's only a video player...but OK, at least something

And not nothing... A vinyl player hit in the same wound.

You know only its there, like sex, drugs and rockn roll.

But at least you can't interact with the world you know it's there.

No eating, no drinking... No option to sit down.

Except the mission has a script for.

This world is yours but sorry it's locked, keys to unlock still missing

 

[heskyttberg]

To me the BDs are awkard and strange thing and just a pain to go through.

How can you make like a 30 min tutorial for something that is only used 4 times in the game ?
I have never before experienced anyhting even close to this stupid in any game from 1995 until present day.

And Judy is telling you about everything and how to use it to find clues and even telling there is a clue here or there.
So why can't we just let her do it in the background and skip all the boring BD stuff.

 

[Moxy3]

From the gameplay demo back then.. a lot more was removed it seems.

 

[GVArcian]

In one side quest you hunt down the BD of a serial-killer, but instead of "watching" it to gather clues to the killer's identity/location, you just send it off to a fixer who then does the detective work off-screen.

Yeah well duh, that's the job V was hired to do. The gig detes never said they should find the killer by watching the BD.
