Malcador Posted December 23, 2020 Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) Eh, he has an opinion on something. Definitely worth barking over. Hm, recall he had a less than enthusiastic response to this game - I should go check to see if he's said anything post release. There may be something he's wound people up with.

Raithe Posted December 24, 2020 Posted December 24, 2020 Ran through the drive-in date with Rogue, then meeting the rest of the band in the aftermath. I guess it's kind of quirky that my V is wearing Silverhand's boots, pants, jacket, and shades and none of his old "friends" comment on it. Rogue does comment if you're driving around in his Porsche, so half thought there might be other dialogue, but alas, no. 2 "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

Although ... has anyone else been getting a little more graphic pop-in since these last two patches? I feel like the graphics became slightly worse (same settings). Maybe it's my imagination but ... I recall how the more they "optimized" FFXV the worse some graphics looked regardless of settings. Sigh. I hope that doesn't happen here, at least by much. *pick,pick,pick* 1 “Things are as they are.

Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

Raithe Posted December 25, 2020 Posted December 25, 2020 Well after 96 hours of play, I completed my first game with a Path of Glory ending. I'm like, dang it, that's pretty much a setup for a continuing future DLC. Still, the route there has some nice emotional moments, the making decisions on the rooftop with Silverhand before deciding just what you're going to do was smoothly done. 3 1 "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

Wonder which they will pick one as canon, maybe they'll decide the ending riding out with Panam is too optimistic.

Raithe Posted December 25, 2020 Posted December 25, 2020 Interesting the way they handle it with messages left from various characters you met in the game as part of the end credits. Not sure if it was because of dialogue options I'd made, but even though I'd had the Judy romance option and she was with me at the start of Path of Glory, her message was a bittersweet kind of "Dear John" one. Was amused when Goro Takemura started waxing poetical, referring to death poems by samurai before commiting seppuku and then going with the "but I have simple words for you... Go to Hell!" "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
Malcador Posted December 26, 2020 Posted December 26, 2020 Well, Kerry's ending was suitable. The escort mission you get later on from Us Cracks is nice, can have a really funny ending if you screw it up - but shame you can't jump the stalker early, or so it seems, as she spawns on a level but can't interact with her like the photo guy. I probably was not too thorough there. Why has elegance found so little following?

Raithe Posted December 28, 2020 Posted December 28, 2020 After that whole lengthy Cyberpsychosis string from Regina, I was kind of expecting there to be more of an outcome. I'd managed to KO them all and not kill a one, and all I basically got was a pat on the back and an "atta-boy" from Regina. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

majestic Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 I think Night City is getting to me.
