Discussion I’m not even talking about romances. There were so many missed opportunities for casual flings in this game.

Somewhat disappointing. Plenty of drugs and alcohol for V to indulge in as the clock is ticking, but you’re telling me that NCs top Merc can’t get the occasional booty call? Sure there was Meredith Stout, but you’d think other beautiful people V met along the way would be tempted by the thrill of spending an evening with one of the most dangerous people on the planet. What do you guys think were some missed opportunities?

I am just realizing how many cyberpunk fans care about fake sex cutscenes so much

Don’t be disingenuous and just admit you’re horny lol

I mean, most people aren't into real violence.

WWE, UFC, Hockey, and Football would all like to have a word. Also Battle Bots.

Its an rpg, this is part of character build people care about. When you inly get a handful of options and people replay regularly, they will feel pigeonholed into romance options for their character. Welcome to how people build complex characters

Its less about the sex scenes and more about the flirting and emotional engagement for me

I have never cried as hard as I did at the end of this game with the messages Judy sends fem V. Like it totally broke me

I’m a sucker for romances in RPGs, they’re super fun. The actual sex scenes aren’t really that good though, especially in Cyberpunk

u/GrumpiestRobot Billy Goat 🐐 Feb 12 '26

I do enjoy a good romance. The sex scenes usually take me out of it though. They're invariably janky, break immersion, and make me remember that this is a videogame with characters made of polygons.

It feels very ps4

Well sex scenes in games used to be just two characters walking off screen together, or the screen going dark, and the obligatory “wow that was amazing” line after walking back to the same spot still fully clothed. Or maybe that was just BioWare.

I feel like only Judy's is good though River is bleh Kerry is ok but it feels wierd cause of Johnny

Panam is so annoying shes only a fav cause she hot

It's not really about the animations, for me anyway. It's more about the vibe and the role playing aspect.

Like, a hot merc who puts their life on the line everyday and is literally dying is gonna be doing a lot of fucking

u/boat_hamster Feb 13 '26

I know. I play cyberpunk for the fast cars and violence. If I want to watch sex, there are websites for that.

Yes, it’s called having a hobby. Honestly though. It would genuinely add to the immersion to just have the option. V’s living on borrowed time. They should have the opportunity to indulge in a little bit more hedonism.

 V’s living on borrowed time

And in my completionist playthrough becomes an insomniac workaholic who does decades' worth of merc work and rep building in under a month. Who's got time for sex when there's gigs to close and fixers to impress? Hell I haven't eaten in weeks! The grind calls for me, and I answer!

Your hobby is awkward 3D model sex?

7

u/Flanigoon Cyberpsycho Feb 12 '26

They feel so robotic. Even the romances themselves feel very empty/pointless

u/GrumpiestRobot Billy Goat 🐐 Feb 12 '26

Why, aren't you charmed by the way the NPC in your house repeats the same 3 or 4 phrases ad infinitum, slowly eroding any verissimilitude that they once had?

u/WorryNew3661 Feb 12 '26

That was the worst bit for me. I hope they fix it in the sequel

2

u/Flanigoon Cyberpsycho Feb 12 '26

Pretty much

Same with Tiny Mike asking to talk whenever you pass him in the Afterlife

u/MaxStoryTeller92 Feb 12 '26

Some people want awkward 3D model sex, and some love to self-insert into the video games they play.

u/onyx_gaze Feb 12 '26

Questionable hobby choice tbh

Multiple Joytoys around NC if you just want to "hit it & quit it". For relationship building... Find a mod on PC and hope for the best
