WHY is CDPR "sanitizing" cyberpunk?

[IronGoat]

ok so far ive noticed...
the little girl at the final fight in pacifica for beat on the brat who WAS hustling adults for bet money NOW just plays with an RC drone
when you go to fingers and find the junkies on the first floor. the dead prostitute is now missing its just the one guy tweaking out.. though johnny still sits on the couch like she is there.
plus the lack of some nudity during some sex scenes. now personally i dont care if the game even has sex scenes at all, but if youre going to have them, WHY are nipples covered?

there are more i just didnt bother to write them all down as i found them..

PLEASE STOP TRYING TO MAKE AN ADULT GAME FAMILY FRIENDLY! ITS RUINING THE VIBE!

Can anybody actually confirm that these aren't just bugs?

The woman on the couch was still there for me this morning underneath Finger's surgery.
(Missing NPCs can be caused by the game reducing what gets loaded in to keep up performance at the settings you've chosen. edit: I can get her to spawn in lying in weird positions on or from the sofa if I load up on mods and load up a save close to Fingers but she's still there.)

Full nudity was in sex scenes for a few days after launch, you've needed mods to remove underwear ever since.

Hmm.. perhaps they are bugs?
I started a new game recently and for some reason the spot where Nibbles is supposed to show up is now empty. No bowl and no shard anymore.

The freaking sex scenes in this game are a joke anyway. Why the hell can I configure private parts during character creation when they literally don't matter during the playthrough?

The city is plastered with ads for sexual content. You can see BDs at a vendor in Jig Jig street but they are all "incompatible". I've seen 1 actual usable female prostitute in the city and she doesn't look appealing. Also the scene with her is just plain boring.

Cyberpunk 2077 teases you with all that naughty stuff and in the end delivers nothing juicy.

which actally sucks really this was suppoused to push us gamer into more a dark reality we got scavs who hunt for body parts and organs but sex is to much lol

It's rated M, not AO. Adding explicit sex scenes would basically make this a porn game.

CDPR never advertised this as any kind of hardcore porn simulator. I don't know how you guys decided that "dark" = hardcore porn, but it's not true. lol

I always think of that level in Quake 4 where your marine gets captured and "strogg-ified". Was a disturbingly epic scene.

The problem I have is that the game handles the whole thing in a very immature way. On one hand you have the character creation where you can display everything and can select the size of your d*** while it is visible on screen.

Then while you play you see advertising literally every 2 meters with stuff like "three mouths and all there to pleasure you" or the "bottoms up" ad. How about the advertisement related to milfs? These are just three that immediately come to mind.

So the game teases you with this kind of stuff that there is full sexual content in the game. But then throughout the whole game it literally pulls out and doesn't go with what the game itself teases.

It's like that girl that constantly makes sexual references and jokes and when you bite and actually try to get her she just laughs at you and calls you a loser for even considering it.

The 15 year old game Mass Effect handled it in a much better and more sensible and tasteful way. You don't have to show everything but if you do sexual content then do it right.

Aren't the joytoys in jig jig street always fully nude during sex. But the upmarket joy toy (female) in Dark Matter club is always wearing a bra during sex. I had initially thought it was because she was seen as more "upmarket" but truthfully it was probably an oversight when adding her and the dev team forgot to undress her

The option to adopt Nibbles only becomes available after you talked to Takemura in Tom's diner, iirc. Make sure you've done this first.

I still found the dead woman in my current playthrough. In my first playthrough, which occurred at release, I wasn't approached by the kid at all.

^ pretty much this.

i dont get where people think explicit scenes = porn. if explicit scenes makes something porn i guess Game of Thrones is porn, The witcher series is porn game, Sparticus is porn. >.>

She Will Punish Them is a game that is rated AO. it has 0 sex in it.

Right, because nudity isn't inherently sexual. It's OK to see a non-contextualized nude body if it's just to customize your character for immersion's sake.

But I didn't see that as a "tease" at all. That's just world-building. Sexuality in advertising is just the norm in Night City. It certainly doesn't imply that you, the player, can engage in all matter of perverted exploits.
