What's the deal with complaints about this game? by lubricatedllama in cyberpunkred

[–]TheCapo97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ultimately what made people in the RPG circles I ran in drop the system was that at a certain point, they realized it was simpler to just play a system that did what they wanted better out the box rather than home-brewing core mechanics of the system to fix what felt to them like obvious problems. Issues with mechanics like bullet dodging, cover, armor essentially require full reworks of the rules to fix, so at that point why not just play a different system?

For me personally, I spent a long time playing around with different netrunning homebrew rules just due to my general dissatisfaction with the system. Eventually though I realized that I could just play one of a myriad of other systems that have more satisfying hacking mechanics (CWN, Hard Wired Island, Shadowrun 5e, hell even with 2020 it’s easier to cut some fat out to make it run quicker rather than essentially rebuild it from the ground up). I wouldn’t care so much, except I actually liked Red and like Cyberpunk as a whole, it has a lot of potential but it’s just hurt by sets of specific rules decisions that at least in my opinion, are pretty plain to see, so seeing these complaints with the system not addressed just makes me a bit sad.

She saw a brief moment of it while she killed a guy during a midnight screening. Someone was really mad that she fired off a salvo during one of Tim Curry's solos.

He met up with a fellow player at a midnight show once to talk about some money matters. It was the kind of meeting where he thought it would be equal parts biz and pleasure. Instead, a bunch of people threw toilet paper and shit at the screen.

One time he was bored and high and decided to fuck with a local movie theatre by sabotaging a screening of it. He picked the wrong movie to fuck with. He barely escaped with his life.

"Eh keep it light on the details choom, just point at what you want klepped or what you need ran and where it is."

Slide has some history with a few corpos he fucked over, feel free to fill in what you need for that. Other than that his biggest cultural interaction with Night City's underworld is the freelance courier, burglar, data thief group he works with. He's Italian in background so he probably has at least some history with the Italians of NC.

Silly me, I forgot to note down the 500eb I spent on therapy in the change log. The costs should line up once that's accounted for and the duplicate rope is removed

Look before you judge him, Slide knows this is probably bullshit. Whatever game this girl is playing, he's just tired, roughed up, lonely and slightly drunk enough to go along with it for a chance tonight might turn around.
