What-If: Cyberpunk was developed by Ubisoft instead

[Idlemind]

What would be the biggest changes?

[reptiliane]

Forced to use their garbage Uplay

[Chaosolous]

The game would be garbage mixed with micro transactions.

Unfunny fact: Cyberpunk is almost like Watchdog (which is from UbiSoft)

[valium]

You would be playing through Uplay, and the world would be filled with nothing but NCPD hustles instead of gigs and side missions.

Most likely, a lot of premium editions with cut content that cost 100e or more, ofc in game skins locked behind paywall, then same gameplay crap as all Ubi game like parkour and constant climbing. But i know Ubi dont care about this type of games so this type of game made by Ubi would never exist.

I never played Starfield, but for the most part this sounds like complaints I've heard about Starfield lol

I would have never considered buying it. Some studios are just automatic "No." It doesn't matter what hype, or critics, or reviewers say. Just no chance I will set my money on fire to buy anything from them.

Not as bored as you to reply to a convo that doesn't even interest me.

Tbh I was looking at Watch Dogs 2 and how "sanitary" it is compared to Cyberpunk so here we are.

You'd probably have to pay real money for clothes i suspect

Take that BG3 energy and put it towards a cyberpunk / neuromancer title.. would be great.

If it was developed by Ubisoft:
* the story and all quests would've been: go there and bring 10 tigerclaw pelts, kill 100 cyberpsychos and discover the network of 20 arasaka corpos.
* no interesting characters
* badly drawn and boring Nightcity
* XP boosters, crafting materials and ingame money shards for real money
* Whole state of California, maybe with Nevada and Washington, however would've been totally empty with some points of interest
* 200+ hour of boring campaign

This is a fun thought experiment, though. Other scenarios:

Hideo Kojima - Both the game and the DLC are preceded by a 140 minute, unskippable, cutscene and the endings give you a headache.

Bioware - all endings are the same except for the color tint of the screen. Also, you can dance (awkwardly). The multiplayer is great, but nobody plays it.

Square Enix - The ODA battle takes 4 real time days.

Bethesda. You can persuade-check Johnny to leave permanently along with all other terminal side-effects of the relic at the very last moment of Act 1 by asking him to just leave you alone. Johnny says something like "Ok I will leave now" and this part of the story never gets mentioned again.

The name of the Tyger Claws has now been simplified to the Green Raiders, because they are green and because they raid.

Basic heals are the only consumables that you use because selecting any other takes twice as long as the fight.

Every street and building interior has its own loading screen. You also must reload your surroundings every time you enter and exit a vehicle. You control where your vehicle teleports to by pointing to a location on your map.

The updates and fixes to the game were only mediocre at best, forcing you to rely on mods to fix the game so Bethesda can do the bare minimum to say, "We tried."

Bethesda had a good rep after releasing Fallout 3, and Skyrim, but lately they are on the wrong path. Hope Elder Scrolls 6 will be good again.

But I am glad EA did not do Cyberpunk, else we needed to buy weapons and everything else with real money. And loot would be even more RNG, if not.......

No thanks, I've already played Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

The game will have way too many bloat to the story. Right now cyberpunk is extremely short but sweet. It leaves you craving for more. Ubisoft game don't give that feeling because you're already bloated with the padding they add.
