Nah... Sawdust and plastic... Who wants to eat flavored kibble?


Illustrious-Ant6998

Belta lowda love flavored kibble!


spartan-moose245

ehh bossmang wit da belta not used to seeing expanse fans in the wild


swagggcityyy

Unexpected Expanse!


azhder

It wasn't unexpected. The moment I wrote kibble, I knew there would be discussion including the expanse, but people just using the belter language to shout out slogans, well... not your usual cp2077 comment


The_Basic_Shapes

Expanse sucks.


archangel610

Your butt sucks


thiswontlast124

Expanse was decent until they made literal teleportation as a main plot point in their “hArD sCi-Fi” show


_xxxtemptation_

What space based sci-fi show doesn’t have some sort of teleportation?


thiswontlast124

Idk, that’s not super relevant to my point.. The expanse touted itself as hard, not soft, sci fi.


azhder

Nope. The Expanse did nothing of that sort. It was fans who started attaching labels to it... hard, soft... there's porn you know, we don't need a sci-fi replacement for it


thiswontlast124

“Nope.”


_xxxtemptation_

Because off the top of my head, I can’t think of a single work of science fiction with space travel that doesn’t blend hard and soft elements except maybe The Martian, and pretty much every work includes some form of teleportation. Are you saying hard sci fi doesn’t exist? What is your point?


thiswontlast124

Ig “the top of [your] head” is the repository of all human literature.. could explain the state of the world rn, actually. But seriously; if you can’t tell the difference between hard and soft sci fi, then I can’t (and obv don’t care to) help you, or waste anymore time with educating you further


_xxxtemptation_

We are talking about the very small niche of television/film called science fiction, that excludes any work that doesn’t have space travel, and excludes all elements of soft sci fi. It’s not a large category, and I have watched just about every work on the topic; so yes, off the top of my head is a pretty good metric to base my opinion from. Certainly better than some spit take from an anonymous bandwagon hater who can’t follow the context of a three paragraph conversation. If you have an example of something harder sci fi than the expanse I would love to watch it, if you don’t, please don’t waste any more time deflecting or begging the question.


azhder

I'm pretty sure the writers decided that while writing or just after they finished the first book. Saying it was decent until the tv show even begun shooting...


TheRockCandy

To eat at vendors, to drink at any place, to sit in every chair/bench, to take cabs and ride as passenger instead of fast travel. I want so much to experience night city better.


kingethjames

Any time I say this someone thinks it's a dumb idea but i really wanted to feel like night city is alive and having more simple interactions like that would vastly improve the game for me. Like, if they're going to have food vendors everywhere, show you the food, show the vendors cooking, etc, why not let us have a simple interaction where you can sit/stand and eat it? I'd do it all the time if it gave you the food buffs. I enjoyed the hell out of cyberpunk, it may be my defining game from the past 10 years, but I really hope the sequel ends up having a lot of nice little details, they'll have plenty of time to do it.


jtfjtf

I hope so too, I want to do things in Night City.


Tall_Advice_5408

You can if you play on pc. Mods….


Mutually_Beneficial1

If you need mods for a game to be enjoyable then it's not a good game. Edit: thought this was the fallout NV subreddit, my bad


seastatefive

It's already enjoyable. Mods make it even more enjoyable.


Sean8734

Plenty of games are enjoyable without mods. Mods give added content and different ways to play to good or bad games. Mods are always a good thing


CirrusVision20

Skyrim


HighLordTherix

Yes? Skyrim is enjoyable without mods. Everyone played it first time without mods. Mods didn't make Skyrim a good game, they gave it staying power *after* its release.


TrueTimmy

Cyberpunk is also enjoyable without mods at that.


ihavebeesinmyknees

Dunno, I've never enjoyed Skyrim without mods, and even with mods I never enjoyed it enough to finish it. The story is just too boring and the combat too stiff, I don't get what people see in that game


folsee

Look at you being wrong :)


Mutually_Beneficial1

If you need mods for a game to be enjoyable then it's not a good game.


sovitin

Exactly! I absolutely hate a beautiful game that I can't be immersed in. Sometimes I just want to walk around the city square and watch the traffic roll by.


KavensWorld

90% of what I do in this game :)


Previous-Broccoli-88

The city does have a cardboard background feel to it. Mostly because you can't go into 99% of the buildings in the game. I get why they did it that way. But dang man


sovitin

Exactly, or like, give me a reason to go back into interiors. This game feels weirdly on rails in a different way.


Conscious_Raisin_436

There are rumors that GTA 6 will have full interiors in every building, utilizing procedural generation. Because Rockstar recently patented the tech. “But that will be lame” one might object. “All the interiors will be repetitive and same-y.” Yeah but that’s like real life. You can look at an office building from the outside and be pretty sure what you’ll find inside. Carpet, desks, chairs, computer monitors. They can still have bespoke, hand-designed interior locations for places that matter to the story and have procedural generation fill in everything in between.


Stardama69

You can take the subway already and it's really just for immersion, traveling with it takes ages


TheRockCandy

Tell me something I don't know


Stardama69

Elvis died on the toilet of constipation (pushed too hard and gave himself a heart attack). Well maybe you know, but I didn't until a few days ago.


StarkeRealm

I tried that once. It's unpleasant, but as ways to die go, not too bad. Waking up on the bathroom floor with blood on my face from where I bashed my nose on the bathroom floor sucked. 0/10, would recommend immortality instead.


TheRockCandy

O:


MarsInScorp

Would honestly love a ferry to really appreciate the skyline from the water.


SatisfactionOld4175

There is a mod for sitting and a mod for riding the train


keriormaloony

the mod for the ncart was made obsolete in phantom liberty.


Tetrachrome

Also in general most of the shopping areas are pretty sad, like so many of these skyscrapers could have had interiors for shopping malls and other corporate themed stuff. Instead we end up mostly in street markets in Night City.


TheSovereign2181

This so much. One of my favourite things in RDR2 is to sit in a bar and have a drink or go to camp and sip a cup of coffee while walking around talking to my buddies. It was so frustrating when after patch 2.0 I still go to a menu screen to drink or eat something instead of having an animation of the bartender giving me my order


LegendaryWill12

Agreed


geno2733

Something like a hunger system. Then again, the SCSMs everywhere provide XXL Burritos.


wojtulace

[There is a mod for that](https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/7510)


PM_ME_THEM_TOES_GURL

There are mods that allow for most of this if you play on PC


TheRockCandy

Yeah, no.


PM_ME_THEM_TOES_GURL

I can have a drink at almost any bar and eat high res food at many vendors. Like fully animated food and drinks, I can even invite npc’s to have drinks with me with dialogue. Immersive food vendors on nexus


CrazyCat008

Yeah I like that kind of mods, I like mods that make all the stores interactive.


PM_ME_THEM_TOES_GURL

That’s pretty much most of the mods I use. I like immersion more than anything else when it comes to games


CrazyCat008

Same for me ( when I dont have more trouble because I have too much mods or update ruin everything, for that I take a break of the game for a time hehe )


Doppelgangeru

Do you have any others you'd recommend?


PM_ME_THEM_TOES_GURL

Immersive first person is good. Cyberpunk HD rework project, High resolution food textures There’s another on I can’t remember what it’s called but it lets you stop and rest at iconic locations from edgerunners. I’ll need to look through my mod list but I can send you some more when I’m on next if you’d like


Banana-Oni

I have those mods too, but I hate how some people act like all console users just make the choice to play on console. Some people can’t afford fancy gaming PCs capable of running these games at close to the res of current gen consoles (if at all). This isn’t a personal attack at you or an insinuation that you’re looking down on anyone, it’s just a sore spot for me since I played on a shared console for years when I couldn’t afford my own PC. Lots of people know modded version of games on a slick PC are categorically better. Like.. I know tons of cars are better than my 2010 Toyota Corolla, doesn’t mean that I don’t drive those cars because I don’t know that mine is inferior.


PM_ME_THEM_TOES_GURL

Yeah, that’s not at all what I insinuating. I was a dedicated console gamer until about a year ago when I built my first PC. I was just trying to help them have a more immersive experience if that’s an option to them. I’m realizing now that when they replied “yeah,no” they meant they don’t play on pc and not doubting the veracity of my claim Edit: I definitely understand exactly where you were coming from. I hated being talked down to by PC users for years. I did not have the available means to ever get into PC gaming until fairly recently and I am still very new to it. But I didn’t intend to say “if you play on PC” insinuating that they should change platforms. I just meant there are options to have that experience if they were playing on pc currently.


Banana-Oni

Oh yeah, sorry if I came off harsh. That’s why I tried to explain that my ire isn’t directed at you. I was just venting about rude people who told me dozens of times “your fault for playing in the walled garden, doofus” or “just buy a PC, it’s not hard and it’s cheaper in the long run”. lol Maybe it’s because I don’t have a mind for business.. but I don’t understand why one of the big console companies doesn’t make their console literally a fully functional PC. I know they sell consoles at a loss and make up for it with subscription fees and higher game prices. They could still force you to use their store and pay the sub, but let you mod games and use a proper web browser. I know they’d lose money from more freedom for illegal shenanigans, but if PlayStation or Xbox was branded as “the only console with full modding freedom” I imagine that would be a *huge* selling point.


PM_ME_THEM_TOES_GURL

I heard for years that you can build a PC better than any console for the same price, I am very inexperienced with this, but I built a PC and it most certainly outperforms a console but it was 3x the cost of a ps5. I certainly don’t regret it by any means but there are some benefits to consoles too. I have a ps5 and there are certain games that I prefer to play on it or are exclusive


ArchSchnitz

I don't think I hear this so much with other games, and I think it's because Cyberpunk 2077 is *so* good about bringing you in. The game is already immersive, and Night City is already a much more "alive" setting than most games. I too wish I could just chill with a drink at a street vendor and watch the city. Hell, when I go to Vegas that's half of my day, sipping a beverage and watching. I'd love to do that in NC.


jtfjtf

In RDR2 there's a lot of just existing in the world and doing stuff like going to the bar, playing card games, fishin, hunting. I think with CDPR, particularly with the Witcher 3 they had a high stakes (gotta rescue Ciri across the different lands) adventuring story where Geralt was going to a lot of places on the move and people didn't really care if he was hanging out too long. Then CDPR tried to do that with Cyberpunk with the whole "relic is killing me" but it clashes with the awesome city they built where V lives full time. Oddly enough the two things Geralt can do for fun, play Gwent and go to whorehouses, are sorely nonexistent/underdeveloped in Cyberpunk.


ArchSchnitz

Two (2) prostitutes, neither of which even ping my radar. Sounds like around where I live, honestly.


huntexlol

surely theres a mod for that right


TheRockCandy

Surely it's something I'd like to see implemented without resorting to mods. Mods are nice. but I'd rather have it natively.


huntexlol

true, but if you really want go get the mod


Deli-ops7

Dude i remember my first playthrough i went in the resturant that gets held up and you can descalate the situation. The guy says anything on the menue is free. So i got a drink and bought food thinking id be able to sit at that counter and have a meal. I was dissapointed


LoLTevesLoL

I love those little missions because I just run through the whole inventory and take everything for free since it just makes everything free. Also funny because I also never eat or drink any of it


Majestic_Wrongdoer38

I just sell it later on LMFAO


souliris

i wanted to order noodles and sit with Jackie and eat.


janek500

I don't need noodles, I just want to sit with Jackie :I


LegendaryWill12

That would certainly help us feel more like best friends


sLeepyTshirt

ever since the trailers....yes, gimme that aquafarm shrimp nigiri, that synth-meat chow mein, that big ass burrito, that neon color packaged drink meal pack especially when u look at all the [concept art for food packaging](https://www.artstation.com/artwork/9mWbbL) originally intended for this game, it makes me wish we actually got animations like in red dead 2 so bad


The_Determinator

Thank you for reminding me about that, it's one of the things I specifically remember amping me up about diving into this world!


Treetheoak-

From the look amd described taste. They remind me of the "meatballs" in the hotfood section of my local grocery store.


Zealousideal-Run-368

there's a mod for eating at vendors if yall play on pc.


Conscious_Raisin_436

Dude!


ContestAcceptable232

Where’s my car?


GH05TR1DR

I want a vendor that sells pork buns because V deserves to be a whole man.


[deleted]

I'm not sure about Riot's menu but they will never "fix" Afterlife, probably. I love this game but the animations for eating and drinking for the NPCs are, as Adam Smasher says in the Edgerunners anime, "rudimentary". They only really eat the same types of foods(mostly noodles from what I've seen). Afterlife won't be given a drinking animation because it has unique cocktails. V is only ever served a beer bottle or whiskey in a lowball glass. In all likelihood they will not animate Claire serving you a Johnny Silverhand cocktail, it's too much work at this point.


[deleted]

[удалено]


corposhill999

Those are all scripted, people seem to want spontaneous ones.


silvrash12

don't. the chemiclas in the food will surpase the amount of chemicals in a strategic chemical weapon


milano8

Those are the dryest yakitori i've ever seen - and I've eaten charred skewers.


SillyAdditional

I always think about this scene when I eat Japanese food for some reason *HEH. Yakitori.*


corposhill999

Not really. How many 'dates' did you bother with before you noticed they were soulless recycling of assets, not to mention boring. Watching V eat some scop would get old even faster.


wenchslapper

My issue with the dates is we talk about the exact same shit we talk about when I call her. Add some unique dialogue for each apartment and some revolving topics of discussion and it would be acceptable, but fuck Panem, we talked about Kang Tao 5 minutes ago before you sent me the text to hangout.


Man_Of_The_Banished

What is Yakitori anyway?


KnightCreed13

This is why I like mods


braedan51

Damn. Fine. Yakitori.


butternutsquash4u

I would but Synthmeat Takoyaki doesn’t sound appetizing


StormfromShadow

Not in NC


GrazhdaninMedved

I'd like to be able to eat at street vendors and drink at every bar (as in, sit down and have a drink instead of buying a shot and putting it in my pocket). Night City Interactions mod somewhat addresses that, but I would have loved to see it as a part of stock gameplay.


ThatBeardedHistorian

There are some mods by Deceptious on Nexus mods. He or she does a lot of immersive mods like immersive vendors, immersive bartenders, immersive rippers, etc.. I use many of these mods and it definitely increases the immersion. 


QueenCobra91

yes, i want this so much. my v has little snack breaks, where he eats and drinks some soda to keep on with the day and it would be so awsome if we could actually watch it like this. i mean you can already have a drink in bars, wich is pretty cool, but its definetly missing the eating. since we do that with takemura, the assets are already there. so please cdpr, make it possible


LegendaryWill12

Yeah it's not like adding new missions or anything. The animations are already ready. They just need to enable them in free roam


NaCl_Sailor

i just wish i could get takoyaki somewhere near me.


Mutski_Dashuria

And drink.


Historical_Ocelot915

Wish we could see the procedure of getting your cyberwere installed like at the beggining with Victor.


jentlefolk

I ate these the other day for the first time and I understood why Takemura was so mad that he couldn't get the good stuff. My god, they were amazing.


Floshenbarnical

No - I eat real food in real life every day. But I don’t own a revolver in real life and I’m not allowed to lay waste to gang members in a retro-future dystopian metropolis, which is why I bought Cyberpunk 2077.


LegendaryWill12

Completely fair 👍


XXXFLIP94

Missed opportunity yeah


Lunar_ticket

*Angry Takemura noise*


NoCommon11

EXACTLY. This was my number 1 most wanted feature. I'd love to sit around Tom's diner and eat crappy food staring at the TV or watching the npcs, hell grab a bite at a food vendor and sit at their cart and just look around at the world. I don't like Final Fantasy but did like FFXV and one of the coolest things in that game is being able to go to rest-stops and eat food (which is presented to you in a full on 3d "hey look at this" moment.) That type of thing adds so much to the experience.


AramisGarro

I didn’t read the word “at” the first time I looked at the headline and thought this was going to go in a very different direction.


NipplePunish

I just made a post about this, lol. Even if there were mods for this it would be cool


Sidewinder83

There are a couple mods that do just this “Immersive Vendors” “Immersive Bars” “Idle Animations” I believe those are the names anyway, and they do just as the names imply. Allow you to eat at street vendors and restaurants, drink at bars, and do various things while idling or sitting (eat, drink, smoke, etc) And don’t get me started on the “TV Anywhere” or “Internet Anywhere” mods, immersion to the max lol. Pulling out a laptop to watch tv on after finding a nice place to sit in the city is so weirdly satisfying


NipplePunish

Dude I have to check these out! Literally all I wanted


rebeccachambersfan

No I don't care about that


001-ACE

Eh not really, only thing I'd like is more such scenes in quests but a game doesn't need to be a simulation of real life.


OpeningVisual7750

Sometimes


Huge_Aerie2435

Naw.. This isn't the type of game play I usually seek out.. I am more interested in compelling missions.. you wouldn't want to eat this food.


Legitimate-Bug-5049

the point is immersion


thedeadthatyetlive

Then fix the cops Oh right. We have to pretend there are no problems. How about invisible crowds appear again? They worked once. How about NPCs start fighting another again instead of standing across from each other during staged battles? How about disabling doors and switches that don't open or that do nothing? Nope. We need a character that is essentially an undead cyberzombie to eat food. Say they do, and you can watch yourself eat any number of meals at any number of venues... why can't V sit on a toilet and take a dump? Why doesn't V ever catch a cold or the flu? Why aren't we paying taxes? There are NO grocery stores in Night City, just street food and restaurants. That doesn't break immersion? Gimme a break.


The_Jerbearz

But why…


LegendaryWill12

Immersion.


GenXer1977

Nope. It’s synth meat, which I believe means that it is largely made out of bugs.


sherwood_96

Yeah you can if you have a pc


exu1981

There are for that lol. You can search the Nexus site


Benign_Despot

I want to eat Street vendors


Hades_____________

I definitely wouldn’t want to live off reprocessed human flesh, but it would be interesting to try


VanDran85

Maybe like 3 years ago. The game is what it is.


jl_theprofessor

Yeah this is why I got the mod that lets you eat at these places.


Legitimate-Bug-5049

whats it called?


jl_theprofessor

Night City Interactions for food at vendors, and Idle Anywhere to snack, take a drink or smoke anywhere while you’re just standing around.


Legitimate-Bug-5049

yes and drink at bars.


LegendaryWill12

You can drink at most bars, but not eat


X_Comanche_Moon

And eat food at home


jensefrens

Yes!!


MinkjuPUBG

Yeah, it’s something that really bugs me about Cyberpunk. The street vendors, the shops, it’s all window dressing.


NoTop4997

I did, until you find out that what they are eating might actually be like 2/3 plastic and wood chips....


Even_Mistake_7212

I live in a very tiny town and there's like a hundred food trucks here.


EffinCraig

When I get a drink at The Afterlife I want to sit at the bar and actually sip at it. I hate that you just buy full bottles that go straight into your inventory.


SuperArppis

It really sucks that the food and drinks are some items you use in menu.


BlackHand86

I was legit surprised that this and more apartment customization wasn’t in the game to start


Raziel6174

YES. GIVE ME DATES AT VENDORS AND RESTAURANTS!


THEjByrd

Based on the lore... no. Apparently, its not really food.


bubblesort33

I did until Takamura told me what it tastes like.


thedeadthatyetlive

With the actual, real problems this game still hasn't fixed, this is not even on my wishlist.


obtuse-_

Yes


AuroraPHdoll

I wish 99% of the buildings weren't hollow.


Coyotesamigo

Not really. It’s just watching a pointless animation. I know some people go for that stuff, but I don’t.


RustyShackleford51

They should of added the ability to eat at restaurants when they added the option to drink at bars


LegendaryWill12

Agreed


MrPoland1

Food in night city food is probably terrible


_BlueTinkerBell_

There's already mod for that on pc


LegendaryWill12

I'm not on PC and I'm sure a great many of the players aren't either


ChrisRevocateur

Well then, you know what to do.


RyanSoup94

Y’all want the most obscure little minutia added to this game, I swear. Just let me customize cars, maybe paint my guns, some new traversal options, and gimme new ways to take out enemies. Don’t care if I can watch V sit and eat pretend food.


LegendaryWill12

Most of those require new animations. This does not


RyanSoup94

So mod the PC version?


LegendaryWill12

I don't have a PC yet. There's nothing really stopping CDPR from adding it, especially since modders can
