Cyberpunk 2077: Difference between revisions

* [[Bullet Time]]: There are ways to make the gameplay slow down a bit. Other characters can use the same mechanics against the player, dodging bullets in a blur.

* [[Car Fu]]: Even without vehicular weapons, ramming with a vehicle is an effective tactic.

* [[Character Customization]]: V's stats are selected by the player.

* [[The City Narrows]]: Some areas of Night City have a bad reputation, even for Night City.

* [[Conspiracy Thriller]]: Much of the plot derives from various corporate conspiracies, with V tied up or intentionally inserting themselves into them.

* [[Cool Bike]]: Jackie rides one.

* [[Coolest Club Ever]]: A few in game.

** Jackie talks about the Afterlife bar like this, and in universe isn’t far off.

* [[Cyberspace]]: Can be visited when working with the Voodoo Boys.

* [[Cyborg]]: Cybernetic implants are extremely common.

* [[Development Hell]]: Had a long and storied development.

* [[Disappeared Dad]]: V half heartedly accuses Delamain of this when dealing with one of his rouge cars.

* [[Divided States of America]]: The New United States of America is fractured.

* [[Down in the Dumps]]: A huge junkyard exists on the edge of Night City.

* [[Dystopia]]: There are massive societal problems that aren’t being addressed anytime soon.

* [[Enemy Civil War]]: Militech has a small scale internal conflict between management trying to flush out a mole.

* [[Establishing Character Moment]]: In the english version, Adam Smasher describes Evelyn as a "cut of fuckable meat" when he meets her on a flashback. From this single sentence, you can see he lacks any kind of etiquette or regard for human life.

* [[Everything Is Online]]: Not literally everything, but a surprising number of everyday objects can be hacked remotely.

* [[Expansion Pack]]: The ''Phantom Liberty'' DLC.

* [[Extreme Graphical Representation]]: A lot of tech is needlessly over the top in graphical representation, employing holograms and screens when a plain counter or button would work just as well.

* [[Flying Car]]: Favored by Trauma Team.

* [[Foreshadowing]]: {{Spoiler|Johnny Silverhand is brought up at the bar just before the job before he is introduced.}}

* [[Future Slang]]: Lots, mostly in the form of Choom and Gonk.

* [[Gambit Pileup]]: The unexpected intersection of Arasaka family politics with the heist for the relic kicks off the events of the game.

* [[Gang of Hats]]: A few of these exist in Night City, such as the Scavs that specialize in stealing cybernetic gear.

* [[Genius Bruiser]]: Viktor Vektor as a doctor and a boxer.

* [[Gone Horribly Right]]: Computer logs show that Delamain, an AI, was able to turn a struggling company around, automating more and more work until he simply bought out the rest of the company and no longer needed human employees. He was at least affable about this, treating his former coworkers fairly and with respect.

* [[Guns Are Worthless]]: Typically averted, as guns are typically an effective weapon. Against enemies who have enhanced speed, they can dodge most bullets with their own [[Bullet Time]].

* [[Mission Control]]: T-Bug, while infiltrating the hotel and the events leading up to it.

* [[Multiple Choice Past]]: The player can choose one of three Lifepaths for V, each of which unlocks some unique sidequests and dialogue options.

* [[Neural Implanting]]: Through use of shards.

* [[No-Tell Motel]]: An intentional example with the name [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|No-Tell Motel]].

** For a time, ''[[Google Stadia]]'' was recommended as the platform the play it on if the user did not own a high end PC.

** The [[YouTube]] channel ''[[Rerez]]'' has a [https://youtu.be/DIjZjWiuTZg video] showing the unpatched state of the game on the [[Xbox One|Xbox One S]].

* [[Precision F-Strike]]: Delamain, who normally never swears, tells "Beep Beep Motherfucker" during a hit and run on V's car in a Parking garage. {{Spoiler|It wasn’t the true Delamain, who is always polite, but a rouge aspect.}}

* [[Privately-Owned Society]]: The Mega-Corps clearly hold a lot of sway over the Night City government, and are the real power players of the city.

* [[R-Rated Opening]]: One of the first missions has the player rescue an unconscious person in the nude.

* [[Scenery Porn]]: The layout and architecture of Night City are fleshed out, featuring vibrant and distinct areas.

* [[Shout Out]]: Several:

** ''[[Cyberpunk 2077: Trauma Team]]'': A [[Comic Book Adaptation]] published by [[Dark Horse Comics]].

** Judy is a skilled braindance editor who also has a robotics workbench in her apartment.

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Many characters have dyed hair, including blue hair.

* [[Zeerust Canon]]: Being based on the much earlier tabletop RPG, a lot of designs are clearly based on the design and expectations of [[The Eighties]].
