#2: Cyberpunk 2077 Launch Week and Initial Thoughts Dec 17, 2020

We've finally had some time to spend with Cyberpunk 2077 proper, so instead of hopping directly into the story, this week we'll focus on launch week and our initial impressions of the game. It wasn't a very happy launch week for many, as there are an abundance of issues with the game. Last gen console players are feeling it the hardest, as in some cases the game is flat out unplayable.
While PC isn't bug free, at least we were able to play the game with minmal issues and had the opportunity dive into Night City and the Badlands. We talk character creation, stealth and combat, hacking, how RPG elements effect you play through, dialog, love interests, and more!

#3: Starting our Life Paths: The Street Kid, The Corpo-rat, and The Nomad Dec 24, 2020

This week we finally dive into the game story proper. Between Jaa and Bob, we cover the opening job for all three life paths: The Street Kid, The Corpo-rat, and The Nomad. We discuss the details of each, and how these jobs try to help you get to know the very different lifestyles lived in Cyberpunk 2077. While all three life paths start different, they converge on a single point rather quickly. We discuss being a bit disappointed that the life path jobs felt a bit short, and also felt a bit rushed in terms of getting to know your character. Jaa suggests some features from other RPGs that could improve that feeling. We also jump ahead a bit and discuss the impact our life paths have had on our game play experiences after the initial job.

#4: The Rescue, The Ripperdoc, and The Ride Dec 31, 2020

The life paths have converged and now we start our first day in the life of a Night City merc. In this episode we cover the first half of the prologue as we discuss the first three main missions: The Rescue, The Ripperdoc, and The Ride. Before that, however, we need to revist the Corpo opener. Jaa has played through it and feels Bob missed a few things.
The game gives us a double dose of tutorial as we work with T-Bug in a training construct, and then get to put it to use as we save a kidnapping victim. We also get our first taste of how different choices can effect outcome. We meet our first Ripper doc to help fix a glitch in our system and get upgraded cyberware up to meet with the best fixer in the city: Dexter Deshaun. We're making our way to the big leagues, as Jackie likes to say.

#5: The Information and The Package Jan 07, 2021

This is a long one thanks to how many outcomes you can get with The Package. Also, we have a new host joining us, so we had to let him introduce himself. On this episode we will cover both main missions The Information and The Package. We discuss going to Lizzies to meet Evelyn Parker and going through our first Braindances. We also discuss a little bit about the history of Lizzies and how the Mox formed to protect sex workers, and then about the primary form of entertainment in this world, the Braindance.
From there we move on to The Package, which might be the most versatile mission in the game. We counted five, maybe six, possible outcomes for this mission and we discuss them all. Do you pay them with your own money? Do you give them the credit chip? Do you crack the chip or keep the virus on it? We also talk a bit about Meredith Stout, our first interaction with Militech, and how we wish the rest of the game played more like this mission.

#6: The Heist Jan 14, 2021

This week we finally finish up Act 1 as we make our way through its final mission: The Heist. V and Jackie finally hit the big time as they enter Afterlife for the first time. We meet Claire the bartender, and get our first look at Rogue. We also finally me T-Bug for the first time in the real as we meet with Dexter Deshawn one final time before the big job to get all the details. Well, not all the details. Stuff like, how much we are going to make is still kind of up in the air. Small stuff…
We are introduced to Delamain for the first time as we head to Konpeki Plaza. Things seem to be going well until an unexpected visitor comes to visit Yorinobu, and that is when the plan goes to hell. We discuss our escape, the consequences, and how it all ends.

#7: The History of Arasaka Jan 21, 2021

This week we are doing things a little differently. After the heist ends poorly for V you end up in the memories of Johnny Silverhand as he executes his plan to take down Arasaka. We figured it would be a good time to learn more about Arasaka and how it rose to power. We discuss Arasaka’s beginnings in 1915 Japan, how it built its wealth through World War II, Saburo’s vision, and how it was executed.
We also discuss Love Like Fire, the interlude between Act 1 and 2 where Johnny Silverhand [REDACTED] at Arasaka tower. Cyberpunk 2077 does not really do justice to the impact Johnny’s actions, so we also discuss the fallout from the event that left Arasaka, and even the Japanese government, crippled. Finally, we discuss how Arasaka regained its strength and how it got such a strong foothold in Night City.

#8: Back from the Dead, Meeting Johnny, and The Plan Feb 04, 2021

This week, V comes back from the dead! We talk about the second half of the Interlude, and the beginning of Act II. We discuss the downfall of Dexter Deshaun, escaping terrible Arasaka Ninjas, and Vic saving our life. We also dig into Vic giving V the bad news about their situation, and our first interactions with Johnny Silverhand.
Things are looking bad, but V isn’t going out without a fight. We meet with Takemura to discuss his plan for revenge, but also the plan to save V’s life. We also dive a little bit into side missions regarding Mama Wells and Delamain.

#9: Automatic Love Feb 12, 2021

This week we are Bob-less, but we are pushing an episode out anyway to keep things moving. We’re covering the main quest: Automatic Love. Picking up after meeting with Takemura, we’re going to head to Lizzies to meet up with Judy where, depending on your dialog, we’ll earn Judy’s trust to find out where Evelyn is, or have a heated conversation about it. We’ll also head to Clouds, the premiere Dollhouse in Night City, where we’ll learn what happened to Evelyn as well as our “deepest desires”.
Also, Jaa wants to know why so many people picked Angel when they mean to pick Skye, as there is more than enough information to tell you who’s who. We also discuss the different approaches you can take to getting the info you need at Clouds.

#10: The Space In Between and Disasterpiece Feb 18, 2021

This week we finally find Evelyn as we complete the missions The Space In Between and Disasterpiece. We head to Jig-Jig street to find Fingers, a Ripper Doc known for his resourcefulness as well as creepy nature. Depending on your currently relationship with Judy the dialog can go in several directions. This is another dialog heavy area of the game, but after we get enough info, we’re able to track down Evelyn’s location which leads us to somewhat of a dungeon type area that we need to fight through.
Even though we are mostly dealing with enemies, we do get a lot of information on the Scavs what types of illicit businesses they run. We also get a look into how they take orders, and trick people into becoming their prey.

#11: Double Life and Ghost Town (Part 1) Mar 04, 2021

This week we kick off the show talking a bit about crafting. On Jaa’s first playthrough he felt like he didn’t need to do a lot of crafting, but after trying more specialized builds, he’s been using it more often. After that we move into this weeks main quests: Double Life and Ghost Town. Double Life has zero action, but you get a layer Evelyn’s mystery peel back more. We discuss her interaction with the Voodoo Boys, our currently relationship with Judy, and some emails we found at Judy’s apartment.
From there we move start the Ghost Town quest by going to the Afterlife. We talk to Rogue, but are a bit confused as to why she’ll talk to us and not Takemura considering she doesn’t want anything to do with those who were involved with Kompeki Plaza. We get the details on Hellman, and then cut a deal with Panam for her to help with the Hellman job.

#12: Ghost Town (Part 2), The Aldecaldos, and Fall of the Bakkers Mar 12, 2021

This week we start with Jaa talking about how he caught up his Corpo playthrough, as well as finally got a sword. He discusses chopping up Tiger Claws at Clouds and punching Fingers in the face. We also finish up the main quest Ghost Town. Panam takes us to her (former) Nomad camp looking for help from a few old friends. While there we take the time to discuss a bit of Aldecaldo history, as well as find a shard that gives us some background on the fall of the Bakker clan. That’s of particular interest to us because Nomad V was a member of the Bakker clan, so it may give us some insight into why the left.
After that we head to Rocky Ridge to set a trap for Nash and his crew. After dark we take them on, but Nash is not there. It is decision time with Panam. Will we go with her to the Raffen hide out and get revenge? Or do we make her stick to the deal and just deliver the goods to 6^th Street?

#13: Lightning Breaks and Life During Wartime Mar 25, 2021

This week we pick up where we left off at the Sunset Motel and grab a drink with Panam. Its time for her to hold up her end of the deal and help you get Anders Hellman. Depending on if you helped with Nash or not will determine how friendly Panam gets with you. After Panam lays out the plan we head to the Satwave Power Station for a little sabotage that helps bring the AV with Hellman down. Unfortunately, things don’t work out as planned and Mitch and Scorpion end up getting involved in an unexpected twist for Panam.

#14: Life During Wartime Finale and Tapeworm (Part 1) Apr 01, 2021

Last episode we finally found Anders Hellman, and this week we get to talk to him. This week we'll focus on our conversation with Anders Hellman, and some of the new information he gives us about the Relic. Also, after we talk with Hellman, Johnny needs to get something off of his chest, so we'll talk about the first part of Tapeworm.

#15: Down The Street (Part 1) and Both Sides, Now Apr 22, 2021

This week we finally move on with Takemura in the main mission Down The Street. We meet his contact in hopes of getting a meeting with Hanako Arasaka. As you can imagine, things don't go as planned, but we still get something valuable out of the conversation.
After that, we head over to Judy's to wrap up Evelyn's story line. She called us earlier asking us to come over immediately, and when we get there, things aren't good. We have a conversation with Judy that leads to her line of side quests.

#16: The Voodoo Boys, The Animals, and Pacifica Apr 29, 2021

This week we step away from the main quest path and talk a little history about The Voodoo Boys, The Animals, and Pacifica. Turns out, there were more than one version of the Voodoo Boys, and the Animals aren't just a roving gang of brutes. We discuss how Pacifica was meant to be a high end resort for corpos and tourists, but thanks to the Unification War, that didn't pan out.
This weeks episode is a bit shorter than normal, but next week we finally dive into Pacifica and meet the Voodoo Boys.
