There are some bright spots in Cyberpunk's gang system. Some gangs will remember actions taken against them recent post by Earnshortener the player. For example, in a gig that involves V assisting the Aldecaldos in a deal with the Scavengers, the Scav gang members will remember V killed several members of the gang with Jackie in the Sandra Dorsett rescue gig. Players then have the option to use this past event to their advantage and intimidate the Scavs into doing the deal with the Aldecaldos peacefully. Another side gig involving the Scavs sees V robbed and taken to the very same apartment from " The Rescue "

Aloy has been praised for being a strong female protagonist, and the game has won several awards due to its unique narrative. Its sequel, Horizon Zero Dawn: Forbidden West , is sure to uncover yet more devious details. One of them fans are dying to know: what is Sylens up to?

Bioshock is a gaming classic due to its dark underwater setting. In the game, you dive into Rapture, a once-bustling metropolis that has now fallen apart. You play as Jack, a man who thinks he is visiting Rapture for the first time, which is later revealed to be a false truth.

As competitive as EA are, after the massive success of Destiny , the developers set out to develop their answer to the creative first-person shooter. Though Destiny has had some issues of its own, which have inspired some hilarious memes , it was nothing compared to the rollout of Anth

No Man’s Sky was a victim of hype, as it was possibly the most talked-about indie title in gaming history. Being a case of not following through with their promises, which is a problem that happens way too often in the video game industry, Hello Games promised the world, or more specifically, the infinite unive

Though it might not be one of the worst games in the cyberpunk genre , Cyberpunk 2077 had arguably the worst video game launch in history, but it isn’t the only one that has faced scrutiny upon release. Games developers tend to have really tight deadlines and employees can work 80 hour weeks when it comes to crunch time, but that’s still not necessarily enough to treat all of the b

This item is perhaps the lewdest of them all, and if players are using a controller, then it will constantly vibrate. Whilst Sir John Phallustiff offers great stats for a non-lethal weapon, players will surely be more interested in its design as a one-handed club, rather than its effects on those that are unfortunately and invasively hit with an item that maybe should stay in the bedroom that they found it

The multiplayer aspects of the game, which is one of the biggest reasons why the series was so popular, were glitchy, and it was almost impossible to play online, as the game’s servers couldn’t find matches. 343 Industries even had to issue an apolo

Pick up the Iguana egg in Yorinobu’s Penthouse during The Heist, place the egg in a bowl in V’s Apartment, and wait 90 in-game days.

Players might be able to get themselves a rare hairless cat in Cyberpunk 2077 , but this collectible pet is not missable. The Pet Iguana is. Players only have one chance to get themselves a pet lizard, and once they finish The Heist mission in Act 1, that opportunity is squandered, as there is no vendor that will sell an iguana egg, nor is there a way to break into Yorinobu’s Penthouse ag

The remake of the original Sim City was set to be one of the most revitalized versions of a series ever, and now, after so many updates, that is the case, but it wasn’t without one of the worst launches in history. Firstly, fans couldn’t play the game without having a network connection at all times, which led to many problems when there were network outa

The world of RPGs is incredibly varied -- especially when it comes to the ones made by western developers. Many western titles are a breath of fresh air for players who want a break from grindy JRPGs as Western RPGs often focus on unique settings.

Outrage is pretty common in gaming, and it feels wrong to be encouraging it, especially around a game as toxic as Cyberpunk 2077. For the record, I don’t care for the game. While it would have been fascinating to see how the game itself and the discourse around it would have been different if it came out bug free, it still would have had its issues. Bugs or no, Cyberpunk 2077 is a game with a very binary perspective on gender that trades on a mostly superficial view of trans people , a horribly misogynistic view of women and sex workers , fridges one of its strongest female characters, and contained a (now patched out) racist m

Cyberpunk 2077 holds many secrets, and some are still being discovered to this day. As players journey through Cyberpunk 2077 , they may realize that they have missed a collectible or two, or that certain dialogue choices or actions have locked them out of obtaining unique rewards. This makes each playthrough unique, and for players to note their mistakes going forward as they realize that they might have squandered the chance to get some of the rarest items in Cyberpunk 20
