Corpo V is the best V: Prove me wrong

[Jivebot]

Corpo has the best story arc. Street Kid and Nomad both have NO relationship with Jackie before the game. When Jackie dies they were only friends for six months. Boohoo. It takes away from the gravity from that moment.

Corpo V and Jackie have HISTORY. It's kept vague and that's a smart decision. But C-V and Jackie were already tight. Already trusted each other enough so that Jackie was always nagging C-V to get out of that Corpo-rat lifestyle. And when that lifestyle kicked C-V in the gut and stole everything from him...when that lifestyle left him with nothing to live for...Jackie was there to pick him up, dust him off, and put him back on the path.

That's TRUE friendship and it makes Jackie's fate all the more tragic. It makes the way V chokes up at the funeral that much more poignant. The one person in the city who was there for him when he was being the worst version of himself, and STILL there for him when he had nothing to offer is now gone. Now V has that much more to live up to.

C-V's background also makes the overall motivations of the character make more sense. C-V had it all, then lost it all in the blink of an eye. Unjustly stolen out from under him. So now he's gonna get it all back and this time he's going it on HIS terms and nobody elses. He's gonna do it in a way he'll be proud of and a way Jackie would have been proud of.

C-V has the best relationship with Jackie, the best story arc, and the best character motivations. C-V is the best way to play Cyberpunk.

All your counter arguments are invalid.

Ah yes, there's an organised agenda geared towards the downfall of CDPR

It's probably related to the 5G too, let me get grab some red string, wee gonna need a lot

[Edonkulation]

Really? Are people trying to squeeze out any meaning they possibly could still? all arcs are bad. Wheres the arc where im not friends with jackie and he becomes an adversary. I feel like everyone is a payed actor.

No need to prove you wrong, because it's unimportant. Nomad will always be my favorite path.

[EddystoneM17]

I like Nomad,I played that first run. But would rather Corpo. Might do a Nomad 4th after the patch. I didn't even get past the first meeting during the Street Kid run because that entire scene gave me the willies. I can't stand that turd fixer with his fat hustle. Padre? Don't get me started. If he was anymore sleazy I could scrape it off for a sandwich,but would make certain I slipped.

Guy a page back gets a blanky!

I like Nomad the most if I'm gonna try and romance Panam, but corpo for any other runs. Not that fond of streetkid, dunno why.

Street V is the dumbest. "Oh hey we both grew up on the same block and I drink at your mom's bar all the time but somehow we never met also now let's be best friends for no reason."

Every single intro (because lifepath is too generous of a word) has the same problem, the fast forward should have been a playable chapter on its own

It's a tall order and obviously a massive amount of additional work, but as it is now it's just a gigantic ♥♥♥♥ you teaser that lets you blue balled and sets the tone for the rest of what you'll experience in the game

Everything concerning V's origin and Jacky is just way too light, and then you're supposed to feel a connection with both V and Jackie, and get feelings on command

V has the rest of the game for you to recover but then she has to compete with the Johnny genXer self insert

For Jackie it just falls flat, although i guess that's enough for many players

The entire game has a massive case of "show, don't tell"
The lifepaths
V's origin and early relations
The entire first part of the story
The absolute lore vomit contained in hundreds of inane shards
The complete absence of interactivity which you can only imagine from exposition and never from first hand experience

Cardboard City

I'll still defend the overarching story and staging, but the gigantic waste still manages to drag it down with it

I hope sometime down the line lifepaths get a rework into actually having more meaning. DLC/FDLC or whatever I just hope it happens.

Agree with that wholeheartedly.

At least Nomad V gets some interesting interactions with the various Nomad NPCs. Street Kid felt like so much wasted potential which makes it hilarious that it's somehow the most popular. I guess alot of middle class brats like to fantasize about themselves living that thug life lol

I dont know if it's true but supposedly somebody tallied them up and Street Kids also have the least amount of contextual dialogues unique to them. And they dont really impact any major quests. So yeah, definitely the weakest of the three but it wins all the polls because the thug life or some such nonsense.

I think Nomad and Corpo are pretty much on par with each other. I can't really decide which one I like better. They're both good to me. Street kid seems kind of cliche. I was shocked when I saw that street kid was the most popular life path because it's the worst one imo.
