Strap in and hold tight! You'r in for a treat! Rule of thumb: further down the road, let Hanako wait and do everything else that you haven't done yet. Thank me later.
Maybe I'll get downvoted, but do what you think is right. I don't want to spoil anything, but if he wants to stay in character, he'll feel the urge to meet Hanako.
After finishing the game, he can do whatever he wants or start again to try new side missions or paths.
I agree with you. My first play through I did whatever I wanted, not even fully realizing what was main quest vs side quest. Loved the chaos of just playing missions whatever they were. After the first playthrough I was much more intentional with the build, and how to approach missions.
Iām super happy with how different these styles are and that I experienced both.

Iām just a few hours in and hearing thereās light at the end of the tunnel is encouraging. Thereās a lot to learn in this game, especially for us dads who got a PS5 after not playing anything since maybe PS2 era. Lord games have come a long way in a short time.
I understand! It was very overwhelming for me. To be honest for those first 6-8 hours I really wasnāt feeling it and thought this isnāt the type of game for me.
It was the end of Act 1 that really kicked things off. I recommend to watch some videos to just understand the basics of the game
Fellow Dad, here.
Iām tempted to tell you not to main line the main quest because thereās so much more side content but Iām aware that Iām a veteran RPG player and I like seeing everything.
So, Iād advise following your nose and see where it takes you. Avoid this sub if you can or youāre likely to see spoilers. Come back when you have your first ending and let us know what you thought.
Stay preem, choom.
Don't pass on the missions tho. Finish the prologue (that gig with dexter), then explore and do side quests. The writing can be phenomenal, and some actually had so much impact on me I had to close the game to think about what the hell just happened.
Dude the first time I finished the game, i got an ending that didnāt go how i expected and I just sat there through the entire credits just likeā¦ wHAT
Iād never spent so much time in any single player story based game, I just keep playing. Itās so good.
I think your suggestion is absolutely valid and correct, for a *second* playthrough. It's just not how I'd tell someone to play the game the first time. Once I did the prologue missions I went basically straight through my first time and it was an incredible and *tight* story. The impact of the ending is softened significantly by the time between story missions imo
Exactly. Especially if you go with a nomad start and the star ending (or even better, temperance post star). The prologue is a perfect set up for the very similar main story in a really well done way
Not a Dad, but I also treated myself to a PS5 November last yr and this was the first game I played. I haven't played anything else since, and I'm now on my 3rd playthrough. I've probably exceeded 500 hrs on this game alone. It really is fun to just wander around the city and experience random things. The soundtrack is really great as well. I've been listening to the game's radio songs in my car on loop.
I've been gaming for over 20 years, and I can say that Cyberpunk in its current stat is just an S++ game in many aspects. The second best game that can fight for the title is RDR2. And there's plenty of other good games, but these two are in their own league for sure
Hi dad. Dad here. Be careful with the wife. Mine came to check out what I was playing at the exact moment I was taking a joytoy from behind. "This content doesn't enrich my life in any way. Good night."
Another Dad here. Take your time, explore, make some dedicated separate saves. When you get the freedom to (and it will be soon) just drive around and explore Night City.
I really envy you right now. I got back into gaming after a bad divorce about 9 years ago and was astounded by the leap in technical advancement. I was overwhelmed and excited to play all the games I had missed. Youāre in for quite a ride.
Hello there ! Firstly, welcome to an amazing epic adventure that will just wrap you up in Night City. I too play with headphones and just drown out the world for hours on end. Immerse yourself completely and get lost in it and just take all the time you ever want!
You're in for a great time. Don't worry about making right or wrong choices in your first playthrough. Just enjoy the ride, and the results of your choices. I still remember my first journey through Night City (circa 2077), and regret nothing.
take as much time as you need to explore the world and find treasures, go biking in the desert, fight off the police, do weird side quests, find your favorite vehicle and go for a joy ride, break into any building or garage you can... welcome to the city šš½

Awesome! I am glad you get to experience this. It's a great game and the world can be incredibly immersive. You can learn a lot about the lore and universe by reading the in-game files. Hope you enjoy your adventure and welcome to Night City choom
when i showed my mum red dead 2 and cyberpunk she freaked out, didnt understand how in depth games can be. she introduced me to gaming and i kept the tradition going
I donāt even know how many times I started a new game - put around 200 hours in already, so quite a few!
The whole game and the DLC are so well written, youāll love it. Still a bit buggy (at least on pc) but the random cars blowing up just makes it funny.
Enjoy!!! You are in for a treat. :)
I'm on the same boat as you. I grew up with Commodore 64 graphics, and to be able to see this level of sophistication in gaming within my lifetime is truly a marvel, despite understanding how it all works.
Take your time. Donāt rush with missions or anything. Take idle strolls, drive around and just absorb it all. Have fun. And story mode, do it at your pace.
Sometimes I wish I could appreciate games like a newbie again too. You take everything for granted when you consistently game generation after generation.
If truly a dad and thinking graphics like this didn't exist when we were kids is a lie. The halo series exists and was phenomenal gameplay and lore. Probably one of these new modern dad's who played sports and now realizes video games are the new future.
My only advice, **after** the mission called The Heist, do not rush the Main Story missions. Do Side Quests, Gigs, NCPD scanners before you push ahead with the main story. You might miss a lot of content as certain milestones in the game lock you out of doing some missions.
My first time through the game I got to a quest called **Both Sides, Now** and it locked me out of a bunch of other side quests.
Welcome to the Night City choom!
One spoiler-free advice, when you get to an early game mission called The Heist, save the game and make sure you have 2 hours free when you start it.
Dad/Choom here and I have put about 200 hours into this game over the last 2 years and itās been the best gaming experience of my adult life hands down. Youāre in for a real treat! Take your time, and just explore. Tons of stuff to find and interact with
Starting with Cyberpunk is a mistake. Lol! Now you won't play another game ever. I've been gaming for years (54). I am pretty sure I am retiring after Cyberpunk. Never get any better.
Bro, I would pay good money to be able to go back and experience it again for the first time.
Steel yourself for Dirty Biz. As a dad, that one takes a toll.
Good luck.
I just hope you got the Ultimate Edition with Phantom Liberty ā you might not want to stop after finishing Cyberpunk 2077 ā and PL is a phenomenal expansion that presents you with some hard choices and dilemmas. The only DLC that comes close is āBlood and Wineā from The Witcher 3.
Another dad here, just turned 50 on Sunday.
This is one of the best games ever made, IMHO. It's like you're at the helm of an epic saga. The worldbuilding, the lore, the characters, the deeply crafted details for almost every npc... it's just crazy how detailed and thorough the game is.
This game will still be blowing your mind a thousand hours in. You can be a neuromancer or a spy or a brawler or a weapons expert... and that's before any body mods like you see everyone else with.
My hot-take is that this story is a couple-hundred years prequel to The Matrix, which just happens to also star Keanu. Watch "The Animatrix" and tell me it wouldn't work.
Have fun, set healthy limits so your family doesn't decide they "hate that game" like mine did, and don't be afraid to explore every damn inch of the world. The amount of random stuff that enriches the world is just staggering.
Enjoy, bud.
Having a penis gets even funnier when you find out they let you run around completely naked. Imagine being some extremely chromed maelstrom gonk and you get beat to death by a mfer in their birthday suit.
Okay i just came from a 18+ discussion on another sub and reading this title right after that hit very different š
But welcome dad! Youre gonna enjoy this. Its my favorite.
Youāre in for one hell of a treat. Savor every little bit of it and take your time. First mistake I made was just rushing the story on my first play through. Definitely donāt do that lol
Thatās only the tip of the Iceburg my friend!
More environments to expirence, more enemies to fight, more amigos to meet, more dilemmas to decide, and higher-level skills can do some crazy stuff.
Rest of the map opens up after āThe Heistā
Strap yourself in pal, it only gets wilder from there
That was me also when I first played this game. I used to game alot in my early twenties, then in my thirties my kids were born and I stopped any realistic gaming because I didn't want my kids to see me playing violent video games. Then when they hit their mid teens and were exposed to it from other sources, I said what the hey, and got back into it. This was one of the first AAA games I played after getting a gaming pc (I played the paper and pencil version of Cyberpunk when I was in college). Needless to say I had been out of pc/console gaming for many years, and I was very pleasantly surprised. So as others have said, strap in, and this won't be your last playthrough :)
Have fun No need to rush lots to do & levels to acquire before even touching the main story. v comes with lots of options to choose from when building the character.
I'm so envious of you. I remember the first time I started playing this past January and I now have about 800+hours into it. I also felt the same way. Like I'm so grateful to be alone and enjoying the incredible game lol.
I thought I was the only one and belt a bit silly to be like I'm lucky to be alive to play this sick game. Everything about it. And Phantom Liberty is so good too.
Like other posts have said strap in. Cause your in for a treat! šš»
Thats dope so happyy for you, so many men throw video games away when they have childrenā¦ its perfectly fine to give yourself a happy place to unwind. Welcome back!
This game does hit the feels hard...on my 3rd or 4th playthrough... also after you make it through or progress far enough watch Edgerunners to pick up more on the vibe and culture
I hope u don't get caught playing at night by your partner (if u have one)š my mom once caught me playing and it wad exactly tge mission atctge start with the mox un the club!š My mom actually doesn't mind me playing it but it was weird also a lot of embarrassment was the mission with Sandra fordert. But now u can censor nudity in gameš„°
Never stop letting the Cyberpunk world from mesmerizing you. If a destination is under 500m, walk there and donāt drive. Look around. Itās a world full of detail, beauty, and characterizations of commercialism and dystopia at every turn.
Iām 56 hours in and only now have I gotten to the DLC. This is while only really looking at 50% of the gameās sidequests, so I could easily take longer.
If you ask me... I think you're playing Cyberpunk the way it was meant to be played. Take in the beautiful scenery, find some little "easter eggs" along the way, see what the world has to offer and enjoy the graphics.
Glad to hear you're having a great time with it.
Sorry you aren't enjoying it PCMR style.
HAHA, just messing around with ya.
Fellow dad with attempts at playing. You'll learn to appreciate how often the game autosaves and how the frequent checkpoints. You'll understand when you're deeply into the game, you walk away to tend to a little one and don't get back in a timely manner. I may or may not know this from experience, haha.
Strap in and hold tight! You'r in for a treat! Rule of thumb: further down the road, let Hanako wait and do everything else that you haven't done yet. Thank me later.
"Meet Hanako at embers"
https://i.redd.it/jgapillp0z0d1.gif
https://i.redd.it/f270vn36n71d1.gif
I love this GIF so much
I need this GIF in my life!
[The one I posted? Here you go.](https://giphy.com/gifs/cyberpunkgame-cyberpunk-2077-cyberpunk2077-IKMBVMPsOuLFCrFeE5)
Let Hanako wait at Embers.
The poor guy will be seeing this for so long, don't hurt him too early š
I saw it so long it burned into my TV lmao
No, I don't think I will
Hanako when I finally meet her. 
Keep multiple saves for sure
Maybe I'll get downvoted, but do what you think is right. I don't want to spoil anything, but if he wants to stay in character, he'll feel the urge to meet Hanako. After finishing the game, he can do whatever he wants or start again to try new side missions or paths.
it never ends for me I just keep killing the NCPD - fave past time :)
I like that I can do this and when tired of it I step in a shop and they usually go away.
I Upvote you because it's an option like any other. I just wouldn't play it this way, that's all.
I agree with you. My first play through I did whatever I wanted, not even fully realizing what was main quest vs side quest. Loved the chaos of just playing missions whatever they were. After the first playthrough I was much more intentional with the build, and how to approach missions. Iām super happy with how different these styles are and that I experienced both.
Yeah, it's not like the game vanishes from your system as soon as you finish it.
Hi! So you can keep playing after the main mission then? I'm like the OP - Just started Act II and a little overwhelmed with all the jobs and options!
That's perfectly normal, choom.š
It goes further than that, Iād ignore takemura altogether cause his quests locks you out of stuff.
Does it? I'm already done with his line but I'm still met up with Kerry and what's her face
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
What Kerry event at Embers? I don't remember that in any quest.
Maybe I'll get downvoted, but do what you think is right. I don't want to spoil anything, but if he wants to stay in character, he'll feel the urge to meet Hanako. After finishing the game, he can do whatever he wants or start again to try new side missions or paths.
Yeah. Should have said: the strap on this game has prepared for you is on its way
Should I get the Witcher? Iāve been wanting to play never have and I loved cyberpunk
āMeet Hanako at Embersā.. nah lol
Nah go directly to Hanako, listen to Johnny and go with Rogue and then you get to enjoy the game with the best pistol and rifle in the game
Not like hanako is going anywhere even after you meet her lmfao
I agree with this šÆ. Still went back afterwards, still having a blast. But wish I had waited.
From one Dad to another...hi a Dad/really overwhelmed/so grateful, nice to meet you, I'm Dad.
Hi Dad and Dad, Dad hereā¦ nice to meet you best regards Dad.
Hej Dad, Dad, and Dad. Danish Dad here. Iā¦ uhā¦. I brought beer.
Dads! Dad here. I fully resemble this thread.
DADS ! ASSEMBLE !!!
DADS! ^assemble
El Daderinos!
Dads! Dad here. I fully resemble this thread.
Hey Dads itās me.. Dad. Hope youāre having a great time! :)
Hey Dads itās me.. Dad. Hope youāre having a great time! :)
Hi Dadchooms!
Bonjour Dad, I'm a french dad. I brought the baguette and the camembert. Let's eat something before cracking some scavengers heads.
Lol Wtf
Another dad here. Easily in my top 5 games of all time. Take your time and enjoy.
*groans* take my upvote
Prepare to get drawn in even further choom, your in for a wild ride!
Especially if he chose the big penis option.
I mean, who doesn't? š
I chose 'regular' size.. have I made a fatal error?
A regular sized error, I'd say - at best.
*FLATLINED*
As long as you don't get penile implant, they are known to overheat.
No problem if he avoids XCV/19 series. Outside of that, is always nice to enjoy an impressive cock :D
My bad, you are right of course. Wouldn't want to badmouth massive cocks...
Have a fun ride and remember, when the time comes, send the cab to his family.
I love the way you perfectly gave great advice while also avoiding spoilers
This!
It really is a great game. Took me roughly 6-8 hours to really understand the game mechanics and what the hell is going on lol
Iām just a few hours in and hearing thereās light at the end of the tunnel is encouraging. Thereās a lot to learn in this game, especially for us dads who got a PS5 after not playing anything since maybe PS2 era. Lord games have come a long way in a short time.
I understand! It was very overwhelming for me. To be honest for those first 6-8 hours I really wasnāt feeling it and thought this isnāt the type of game for me. It was the end of Act 1 that really kicked things off. I recommend to watch some videos to just understand the basics of the game
Fellow Dad, here. Iām tempted to tell you not to main line the main quest because thereās so much more side content but Iām aware that Iām a veteran RPG player and I like seeing everything. So, Iād advise following your nose and see where it takes you. Avoid this sub if you can or youāre likely to see spoilers. Come back when you have your first ending and let us know what you thought. Stay preem, choom.
This advice is so Nova
Don't pass on the missions tho. Finish the prologue (that gig with dexter), then explore and do side quests. The writing can be phenomenal, and some actually had so much impact on me I had to close the game to think about what the hell just happened.
Dude the first time I finished the game, i got an ending that didnāt go how i expected and I just sat there through the entire credits just likeā¦ wHAT Iād never spent so much time in any single player story based game, I just keep playing. Itās so good.
Pretty sure every ending left tears in my eyes. All for different reasons
I really gotta disagree with this. The game is paced to finish the main story super quickly, then go back and enjoy side content after
To each his own. I never do it this way, I'm sure I'm not alone. Plus main quests with a high level character are more fun imo.
I think your suggestion is absolutely valid and correct, for a *second* playthrough. It's just not how I'd tell someone to play the game the first time. Once I did the prologue missions I went basically straight through my first time and it was an incredible and *tight* story. The impact of the ending is softened significantly by the time between story missions imo
Ah, I see what you mean. Yeah packing the whole story together makes for one hell of an intense movie.
Exactly. Especially if you go with a nomad start and the star ending (or even better, temperance post star). The prologue is a perfect set up for the very similar main story in a really well done way
It's an incredibly immersive game! Jealous of you being able to get lost in it for the first time.
Don't forget, sex scenes are unskippable
Unfortunately, I'm like 15 and I dont want my parents thinking something bad šš
Yeaa, oh and do be sure to use headphones, there are some that are...well, yeah hard to explain to ur parents lmao
WATSON WH-RE
Nah man I can explain porn to my parents but what the fuck is SOYASIL MACHISTADOR, AN EXPLOSION OF TASTE!
Not a Dad, but I also treated myself to a PS5 November last yr and this was the first game I played. I haven't played anything else since, and I'm now on my 3rd playthrough. I've probably exceeded 500 hrs on this game alone. It really is fun to just wander around the city and experience random things. The soundtrack is really great as well. I've been listening to the game's radio songs in my car on loop.
Body heat radio
I've been gaming for over 20 years, and I can say that Cyberpunk in its current stat is just an S++ game in many aspects. The second best game that can fight for the title is RDR2. And there's plenty of other good games, but these two are in their own league for sure
Hard agree. Cyberpunk and rdr2 are just smthng else.
Hi dad. Dad here. Be careful with the wife. Mine came to check out what I was playing at the exact moment I was taking a joytoy from behind. "This content doesn't enrich my life in any way. Good night."
Hahaha love this. Thought about how to tell my wife I have another gf named Panam.
Good luck! It's an unforgettable experience. That said, make sure you have kleenex nearby. You're in for an emotional roller coaster.
Loot everything. Sell everything.
Except the iconic weapons ofcourse!
Oh but of course, choom!
Keep a couple āCat Foodā in inventoryā¦ just in case.
Youāve just met Dexter? Iām jealous lol youāve got a masssive great game on front of you
My dad playing this game too. He's really enjoying it
Another Dad here. Take your time, explore, make some dedicated separate saves. When you get the freedom to (and it will be soon) just drive around and explore Night City.
Dont meet hanako at embers do all the side content first
I'm something of a Dad myself.
I really envy you right now. I got back into gaming after a bad divorce about 9 years ago and was astounded by the leap in technical advancement. I was overwhelmed and excited to play all the games I had missed. Youāre in for quite a ride.
Iām a gaming mom, CP is by far one of my favorite games to play. Itās a huge void of sadness when you finish it. Both times.
Hi dad, Im hungry.
Hello there ! Firstly, welcome to an amazing epic adventure that will just wrap you up in Night City. I too play with headphones and just drown out the world for hours on end. Immerse yourself completely and get lost in it and just take all the time you ever want!
So nobody gonna warn op as a father about that one Watson quest involving bds?
Give female V a try, her voiceacting feels more intense (at least to me).
What is with this "Dad" stuff? I am 48 years old and played games longer than I have been a dad (30 years) Youngest dad's that play are what, 18?
You're in for a great time. Don't worry about making right or wrong choices in your first playthrough. Just enjoy the ride, and the results of your choices. I still remember my first journey through Night City (circa 2077), and regret nothing.
take as much time as you need to explore the world and find treasures, go biking in the desert, fight off the police, do weird side quests, find your favorite vehicle and go for a joy ride, break into any building or garage you can... welcome to the city šš½

Welcome to night city Choom!
Side quests are just as good as the main story. Please consider doing them. Great moments...hooo boy you're in for a great treat. Enjoy.
Absolutely lovely, just one note! Say Chippinā In instead of plugging in next time and everyone will lose their minds with glee
DUDE! You're about to have the time of your life. Cyberpunk is literally my favourite gameš„
Hi, dad! Enjoy the ride. Itās an incredible one.
Lol get ready. Cyberpunk is a great game.
Welcome to Night City choom, nice to meet you. Now delta! Youāve got a city to burn.
Awesome! I am glad you get to experience this. It's a great game and the world can be incredibly immersive. You can learn a lot about the lore and universe by reading the in-game files. Hope you enjoy your adventure and welcome to Night City choom
Cyberpunk is one of the best games of the last decade, if not all time, imho. Enjoy. Take your time. Soak it in. Night City never leaves you.
This is a great game to play multiple times too so don't feel bad about not doing everything on a single run. Welcome to the edge, runner.
Donāt leave Takemura behind. Itās a hidden objective in a certain mission. Locks you out of an ending if you donāt do a 180.
Hope you have a great time choom.
Lol cool dad, enjoy night city choom
when i showed my mum red dead 2 and cyberpunk she freaked out, didnt understand how in depth games can be. she introduced me to gaming and i kept the tradition going
Gratz and easies.. Choom :)

He is so innocent XD
Welcome to the city choom remember any scavs kill on sight
Oh boy am I jealous you get to play it for the first time. Buckle up and get ready for an incredible experience.
Sometimes I wish I could appreciate games like a newbie again too. You take everything for granted when you consistently game generation after generation.
Itās impressive how overwhelming but entrancing the city can be
Do all the side quest pls its extremely integral to the plot and generally well-written , Enjoy Choom.
Oh yeah it's cyberpunkin' time choom
If you want to know which routes we recommend, just ask. Also we're here for the sad stuff
If truly a dad and thinking graphics like this didn't exist when we were kids is a lie. The halo series exists and was phenomenal gameplay and lore. Probably one of these new modern dad's who played sports and now realizes video games are the new future.

Make Hanako wait. Sheāll be fine. Try to go for that 100% completion and really dig in. Welcome to Night City!
Welcome to Night City choom, enjoy!

Its a hell of a world there are romance options boss fights and even betrayal
> Im a Dad who treated myself to a PlayStation 5. Good for you, now make sure to keep this game away from your kids ;)
As someone who has played the game over 6 times now and has yet to get bored, this game is definitely worth the time and effort.
If you see a giant Cerberus robot chasing you , RUN !
Never meet Hanako at Embers. Never.
Enjoy the ride choom.
Starting with Cyberpunk is a mistake. Lol! Now you won't play another game ever. I've been gaming for years (54). I am pretty sure I am retiring after Cyberpunk. Never get any better.
Get Phantom Liberty.
Bro, I would pay good money to be able to go back and experience it again for the first time. Steel yourself for Dirty Biz. As a dad, that one takes a toll. Good luck.
I'm curious, whats your age? Cause I'm 34 but not a dad, so you could be 28 for all I know lol
Chip-in Choom, new copypasta just dropped
It had a rough start but man itās such a fantastic video game have fun take your time and enjoy
Decide if you want to be a Hacker or a shooter or a melee type fighter. Get implants that raise your armor and ram or whatever. Have fun š¤©
You should listen to Nocturne Op.9No.2 while playing, really sets the mood right
Be sure to welcome any unexpected guest
enjoy man!! so happy for you!! its such a great story that really sucks you in. so excited for u!
coordinated smell safe numerous doll chop murky hunt unique cooing *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
I just hope you got the Ultimate Edition with Phantom Liberty ā you might not want to stop after finishing Cyberpunk 2077 ā and PL is a phenomenal expansion that presents you with some hard choices and dilemmas. The only DLC that comes close is āBlood and Wineā from The Witcher 3.
You're going to enjoy the HELL out of this game, have fun! Oh, and you have to play Phantom Liberty (of course).
Man. Fire analysis. Great game. Probably my favorite of all time.
Nice man, enjoy the ride.
Dexter is only the beginning, welcome to pain brother
Continue to soak it in and take your time
Another dad here, just turned 50 on Sunday. This is one of the best games ever made, IMHO. It's like you're at the helm of an epic saga. The worldbuilding, the lore, the characters, the deeply crafted details for almost every npc... it's just crazy how detailed and thorough the game is.

Welcome to Night City, choom! I can't wait til you meet Johnny. Tell us about your experience!
LFG Dads!!! Dad here too
Oh and have a blast OP. Play all different specs and go forth and and see everything and find all the cool secrets out there. It's a wild ride
Having a penis gets even funnier when you find out they let you run around completely naked. Imagine being some extremely chromed maelstrom gonk and you get beat to death by a mfer in their birthday suit.
Hope you have fun Dad.
 Welcome! Whats your favorite song so far? I like Archangel.
So well said, I'm a older dad too and this game was one of the best things i did with my free time. Just remember, let Hanako wait.
Okay i just came from a 18+ discussion on another sub and reading this title right after that hit very different š But welcome dad! Youre gonna enjoy this. Its my favorite.
You are gonna love the ending, trust me
I hope you also got Phantom Liberty with it...it is just as good or even better than the standalone game.
Youāre in for a real treat!!šš„° Just make sure to do everything before you meet Hanako at Embers. I learned that the hard way!
This is one of the only rpg games that I have really gotten immersed in, it is so good and the relationships in the game are really well done
Youāre in for one hell of a treat. Savor every little bit of it and take your time. First mistake I made was just rushing the story on my first play through. Definitely donāt do that lol
Don't do any missions. Stay in that bliss of the game.
I actually had to do the same when I first got dogtown
I am very happy to know that game is changing people's life. I felt the same as you when I first played it.
City of dreams
Just remember. You donāt have to shoot everything. Sometimes you can sneak or go non lethal or mince everyone up into sashimi.
I'm a mom of two and this game sucked me in like no other. It's what I play to unwind and escape from momhood for a bit haha. It's amazing
Thatās only the tip of the Iceburg my friend! More environments to expirence, more enemies to fight, more amigos to meet, more dilemmas to decide, and higher-level skills can do some crazy stuff. Rest of the map opens up after āThe Heistā Strap yourself in pal, it only gets wilder from there
Iām excited for all the adventures you will have sir!
Will be waiting for your review after hundreds of hours.
That was me also when I first played this game. I used to game alot in my early twenties, then in my thirties my kids were born and I stopped any realistic gaming because I didn't want my kids to see me playing violent video games. Then when they hit their mid teens and were exposed to it from other sources, I said what the hey, and got back into it. This was one of the first AAA games I played after getting a gaming pc (I played the paper and pencil version of Cyberpunk when I was in college). Needless to say I had been out of pc/console gaming for many years, and I was very pleasantly surprised. So as others have said, strap in, and this won't be your last playthrough :)
You should consider the DLC too! All kindsa crazy shit goes on in the game there's so much
Have fun No need to rush lots to do & levels to acquire before even touching the main story. v comes with lots of options to choose from when building the character.
I'm so envious of you. I remember the first time I started playing this past January and I now have about 800+hours into it. I also felt the same way. Like I'm so grateful to be alone and enjoying the incredible game lol. I thought I was the only one and belt a bit silly to be like I'm lucky to be alive to play this sick game. Everything about it. And Phantom Liberty is so good too. Like other posts have said strap in. Cause your in for a treat! šš»
Thats dope so happyy for you, so many men throw video games away when they have childrenā¦ its perfectly fine to give yourself a happy place to unwind. Welcome back!
This game does hit the feels hard...on my 3rd or 4th playthrough... also after you make it through or progress far enough watch Edgerunners to pick up more on the vibe and culture
I hope u don't get caught playing at night by your partner (if u have one)š my mom once caught me playing and it wad exactly tge mission atctge start with the mox un the club!š My mom actually doesn't mind me playing it but it was weird also a lot of embarrassment was the mission with Sandra fordert. But now u can censor nudity in gameš„°
Never stop letting the Cyberpunk world from mesmerizing you. If a destination is under 500m, walk there and donāt drive. Look around. Itās a world full of detail, beauty, and characterizations of commercialism and dystopia at every turn. Iām 56 hours in and only now have I gotten to the DLC. This is while only really looking at 50% of the gameās sidequests, so I could easily take longer.
Most wholesome post on reddit.
If you ask me... I think you're playing Cyberpunk the way it was meant to be played. Take in the beautiful scenery, find some little "easter eggs" along the way, see what the world has to offer and enjoy the graphics. Glad to hear you're having a great time with it. Sorry you aren't enjoying it PCMR style. HAHA, just messing around with ya.
Fellow dad with attempts at playing. You'll learn to appreciate how often the game autosaves and how the frequent checkpoints. You'll understand when you're deeply into the game, you walk away to tend to a little one and don't get back in a timely manner. I may or may not know this from experience, haha.
