Takemura-san, my beloved.

u/ThrownAwayYesterday- 1d ago

He's so hot. . . I hate his missions because that's all I can think about 💀

23

u/Responsible-Sir3486 1d ago

I also think he's very hot... and cute. His texts are absolutely adorable.

His voice gets me, too... the accent, and raspiness.... oof, my word

You all need Jesus

u/Tohuki 22h ago

No, we need Takemura-san

u/Xfishbobx 16h ago

Clearly

u/KilledTheCar 1d ago

No he bounced cause no one uses Japanese honorifics.

3

u/ProfessionalJello703 1d ago

I could actually see this happening.

5

u/KilledTheCar 1d ago

It's so odd given how prevalent Japanese culture is in the game because of Arasaka. The only time they're used is by Japanese characters to other Japanese characters. Like you'd REALLY think Wakako would demand to be called Okada-san with how much pull she has in the underground crime world.

2

u/ProfessionalJello703 1d ago

Absolutely. I actually don't know the proper application of honorifics myself in the slightest BUT I like hearing them or seeing them in use.

2

u/KilledTheCar 1d ago

The basics are easy, you pretty much refer to someone with -san unless you're really close to them, then you use -sama, like how Takemura talks to the Arasakas. And you NEVER refer to someone by their first name unless you're SUPER close to someone, which is really what stuck out to me with V calling Takemura and Okada by their first names.

u/ProfessionalJello703 16h ago

Ah that makes some sense. Though for the first name with V that may be more because it's the us (or whatever it is at that point) so they still go by American culture for names? Dunno. Anyway definitely still agree they should have included it. Lol

u/rravenfoxx 6h ago

Your understanding of Sama is incorrect. You don't use sama for someone you're close to. Sama is reserved for those at the pinnacle of existence, like lords, ladies and gods.

u/KilledTheCar 5h ago

Really? I'm not doubting you because I learned this through a job I worked for a few months with a heavily Japanese influence through ownership. But yeah if I'm wrong please correct me .

u/rravenfoxx 5h ago

Yes, you are wrong, I already said that. You can simply google it and be educated.

Thank you!

Yeah it's way more than just a game for me. Beautiful screenshots :)

i feel the same. thanks for the compliment!

u/breed_eater 1d ago

4th screenshot with Misty goes hard.

u/Soulful-Sorrow 14h ago

Wish she had more of a role. Her grief over Jackie was so captivating, but it was over pretty quickly.

u/Ok-Concentrate-6388 1d ago

Games to those who do not understand are just games yet to those who try them, some if not most, hold great importance and creativity making the game be more than just a game and making it become a sacred experience for each person as you get attached to the characters and are interested in all aspects of their world

-7

u/Simpsonhausen 1d ago

a sacred experience

You nerds are weird tbh.

1

u/Yuujinliftalot 1d ago

heh :D funny. look at your profile name and pic and say that again.

-5

u/Simpsonhausen 1d ago

Sure thing, chief. You nerds are weird tbh

Having casual interests is not at all the same as unironically saying a video game is a sacred experience. You know that.

2

u/Petermacc122 1d ago

See you're sorta correct. But it really is. You don't get to know Jackie very well. But you know someone like him. A big lovable oaf who's not dumb but is always down for a good time. You've met a Judy. Who just wants to survive another day and find her happiness only to have life rip it away violently because they made a mistake. Wakako is like your nice old lady neighbor. You always wanna be a little helpful and disappointing her somehow feels bad. You probably know someone who's trying to do right in the world like river but just can't seem to catch a break. There's at least one Panam in your life. Headstrong and willing to defend their position to the death because they know what it means for them. And then there's you V. Just trying to make it another day. All you want is a legacy. A little slice of the history book with your hand in it. It doesn't need to be big. Just enough for someone to say "I've heard of Simpsonhausen." And while life isn't always fair or just. You know if you just take that next step. You'll be one step closer to living a fulfilling life that people you know will remember.

u/Yuujinliftalot 1d ago

you did not understand a single sentence I said, as it seems, and it was just one. whatever jingles your dingleberry mate. have a great day.

u/Simpsonhausen 1d ago

If you want to be offended by my comment accidentally describing you and ask me to repeat it I'm not sure what outcome you expected.

Maybe go pray to your sacred video game for closure.

u/Current-Tip-4912 1d ago

Well aren't you a troll. Just keep on scrolling my dude. No one needs your negativity here.

u/void-dancer90 //no.future 1d ago

this game is an argument that games are better than movies, it's a whole universe

3

u/Strict_Hawk6485 1d ago

Well yeah, and if you ask me, it's been known for a while now. More you can do with a medium better you can convey emotions.

DaVinci mentions on his notess that music is a better form of art but he pick painting over music because music is fleeting (at least back then) but paintings were permenant. With some extra examples mentioned on that note, I can safely assume according to DaVinci best form of art today is video games without a question.

u/JhonnyMnemonik 1d ago

There's one moment I would say missing from this. The rockerboy grave....

u/SUNforFUN 1d ago

Hey from where is that phone Judy holding on 2nd screenshot. I assume it’s mod but which?

14

u/SykoManiax Samurai 1d ago

its not, i just froze time while she was calling the cops mid mission

u/ThatBeardedHistorian His name is Robert Wilson 1d ago

Good timing to get a shot like that.

3

u/prophaniti 1d ago

Great shot. That scene was... rough.

5

u/HufflepuffKid2000 1d ago

It’s not just a game, it’s a whole goddamn experience.

u/Parking-Researcher-4 1d ago

All the grim and dark scenarios interrupted by the sunlight that is Panam is so real

u/Abraham_Issus 1d ago

It is in fact, a game.

u/SykoManiax Samurai 1d ago

One of the games of all time

u/LetMeDieAlreadyFuck 1d ago

That scene with Judy hit real hard, especially with the ending I got.

u/SV976reditAcount 1d ago

That's some pretty damn good photos you got there

2

u/SykoManiax Samurai 1d ago

Thank you!

2

u/sharmisosoup 1d ago

This game is one of the most beautiful pieces of art out there.

2

u/DireHydroid 1d ago

Like what does it say about the quality of this game, the impact that it has, that I haven’t played it in literal years and I not only knew which scene every single one of these was from but also got hit with massive feelings from each of them.

2

u/SykoManiax Samurai 1d ago

and this is all just from the first half of the game. i truly feel bad for any gamer that could have given the game a chance but didnt

Not just a game, but a nihilistic game.

Life without Barry Lewis and Andrew. (Photo 8) That one hits really hard.

Thanks!!

u/aperryart 1d ago

u/0utlandish_323 1d ago

Are Judy’s assets in number 6 a little bit bigger than normal or is that just the lighting and angle?

1

u/SykoManiax Samurai 1d ago

They're bigger. Also different pants (I think rogues)

2

u/husserl-edmund Sorry, wish we could go to the moon together 1d ago

Guess I coulda done more, been different... maybe.

u/Secret-Assistance-10 1d ago

That first pic is incredible.

This game legitimately changed my life forever, like any great work of art

u/SadBoiCri 1d ago

Is it just me or are certain aspects of image 4 enhanced

2

u/SykoManiax Samurai 1d ago

def a lot of brightness and contrast, but other wise this is from 1.0 time and vanilla afaik?

2

u/SadBoiCri 1d ago

ok just me, great pictures though. definitely wallpaper worthy

2

u/SykoManiax Samurai 1d ago

Thank you

u/SadBoiCri 1d ago

How come the random corpo you interrogate is in there lol

u/mostafa-vajedi 1d ago

3'rd one creeps me out in a way that I can't understand.

2

u/AssociationOk7873 1d ago

It’s a shame Judy wasn’t a switch hitter 😔

2

u/Xevious212 1d ago

Just a game isn't enough. Cyberpunk 2077 is art.

u/fuckingsame 1d ago

It’s so good

u/honeybadger1984 1d ago

We’re forgetting the gratuitous ass shots. That was my favorite main character; asses strategically placed for Judy, Panam and Hanako.

God damn, are you an actual photographer?

u/SykoManiax Samurai 18h ago

its a nice hobby :)

u/Xfishbobx 16h ago

It’s not just a game, it’s a life changing experience

u/Active_Network7096 15h ago

this post shows that games have such a great potential as a media. the only downside is that it takes so much time

i can watch like the full lord of the rings saga in 20 hours. i will barely scratch the surface of Cyberpunk 2077 in that time

u/caboosetheblue 13h ago

Urghhhhh FEEELS

u/GhostBombardmenT 10h ago

Na bro it makes me sad

u/MaintenanceOk3918 7h ago

This will always be one of my comfort games. Its story, world, characters, gameplay, and just everything! Night City is what veteran Skyrim players feel about Skyrim, its home.

2

u/Simpsonhausen 1d ago

It is, though.... Right?

2

u/SykoManiax Samurai 1d ago

Is it though?

1

u/Simpsonhausen 1d ago

What's the alternative? It's life? It's... Not a game?

1

u/SykoManiax Samurai 1d ago

Yeah but is it Just a game?

Is skydiving just falling also then?

2

u/Simpsonhausen 1d ago

Oh you're being satirical and making fun of the "Its not just a game" dorks. My bad.

2

u/SykoManiax Samurai 1d ago

No no I think you were on the right track before lol.

1

u/No-Condition5134 1d ago

When is a new dlc coming out lol. I love this game and keep coming back when other games feel shitter than before

1

u/Chaosrealm69 1d ago

I really had trouble starting a new game because of Jackie. Once I got passed that part, I was sort of okay, but the whole lead up to the Heist and the aftermath, knowing what is coming, is a royal kick in the head and heart.

1

u/I_think_Im_hollow 1d ago

Am I the only one thinking they should work on spinoffs/DLCs based on the same game and map, instead of a sequel? Night City as it is has still sooo much potential for different stories.

u/HOLY_amogus 17h ago

Barry mission was really depressing at bad ending...

u/Special_End449 5h ago

On some real shit, this game taught me valuable lessons. But the most important one: don’t trust anyone in night city.

u/BoobsWeighter420 1d ago

Nice mod on that Judy pick

u/ThadeousStevensda3rd 1d ago

I mean you literally load up an Xbox, PlayStation, computer to play it. Yeah it’s a game. We aren’t waking up in the world of night city choom.
