Something about him irritates me deeply, I don't know if it's because of that grenade he has for a nose or because of his squeaky voice (in the spanish version) I just know that he irritates me.

I agree with you. I punch him in the face…you know…. Lol
I really wanted to punch him in the face, then I did
uncanny valley for me
Male V is superior and feels more natural for the main story and PL, especially with the relationship with Johnny.
I don’t think this is an unpopular opinion, this dude was made annoying on purpose
The game doesn’t give you enough time to truly connect with Jackie. I find myself connecting more with Fixers like Mr. Hands and Regina because their gigs are far more impactful than The Heist.
The driving is good.
You’re not supposed to.
I thought Judy was super childish and annoying. There. I said it. I know how many people like her but man she grated on my nerves.
“Tu é babaca cara!”
Are you supposed to like that guy?
Gun variety is dogshit and V gets too strong way too fast.
Muamar “El Capitán” Reyes isn’t as cool as people think he is.
That’s definitely an unpopular opinion. 😅
I liked the original version of Mr. Hands more than the rewrite they did for Phantom Liberty with his stupid Burger King head.
Outside of special circumstances such as in phantom liberty, Viktor should have been the only ripperdoc available to V and couldve served a bigger mentor role to V.
Simultaneously Misty could’ve been a much bigger spiritual guide for V too, and I wish we could have seen more of it.
I didn’t hate him, was disappointed the grenade never blew up though
I prefer male V’s voice acting. I also always play a male in games when given a choice as it feels more immersive to me.
I really don’t like Jackie. When he dies, I’m like, whatever. I suppose if there was an actual prologue that we got to play and our relationship was actually more fleshed out it would be different, but I doubt it. I just don’t really like him as a character. I find him kind of irritating.
Mine is that there is a certain unbelievability in the Aldecaldos disposition towards you and Panam following Scorpians death. The more I play it, the more I feel like the game forces the uncritical appraisal of both V and Panam respectively without much accountability to especially Panams GLARING flaws in logistics/action (the player base does this too cause she’s hot). It’s a product of V’s technically momentary role in their lives since these events only really happen over the course of a few weeks, but it’s absolutely jarring for Panam considering her long time position in the clan. Like let me get this straight, Panam and V concoct an objectively risky asf plan that could have gotten either of them killed anyway, with NO backup, that also never takes the outcome of the Aldacaldos being unnecessarily involved into consideration. You’d think she’d atleast try to give Mitch or scorpion a heads up just in case an entire power grid and AV falling out of the sky caught their intrigue. I’m not saying it’s all on either of them, as the Aldecaldos should have been more hesitant in their approach, but I can’t help but find both Panam and V to be negligent here. The game swiftly forgets about this tho to push to this arc of Panam being somehow recognized as a..component leader? Even after her hastiness directly causes another disaster following the theft of the basilisk. She in my opinion doesn’t really have the sense of responsibility and tact to be a component leader, but her unchecked ambition is just rewarded somehow. It’s like making Johnny Silverhand the leader of a revolutionary sect, sure it sounds badass but we all know how that would turn out.
Keanu Reeves isn’t a great voice actor and his performance as Johnny was flat and sub par at best.
Gasp!
Songbird, while by no means a good or even decent person, is the most sympathetic choice in PL. Reed is a well-intentioned fool who is only ever going to get the people closest to him hurt, and Myers deserved to die on that plane.
Also Clownguy didn’t annoy me but god*damn* does that grenade nose gross me out. I avoid his quest for that reason alone.
There’s no animation for eating the damn burgers in your room.
this game is very dear to me but it’s an absolute slog to get through on subsequent playthroughs
i just wanted to say that i couldn’t disagree more but your post was at 49 upvotes and that just bothered me
Godspeed
Oh this is gonna be a very unpopular one.
Never gave a fuck about Evelyn, don’t give a fuck that she’s dead either. Big fucking deal, the bitch gave us the job that led to 1. Jackie’s death and 2. V’s terminal condition. So yeah, glad the bitch is out of the picture.
I have no idea if this is an unpopular opinion, but I preferred the old Cool tree.

>:(
I hate Panam. Every time I replay, I feel my enthusiasm grinding to a halt when I have to do the Panam quest lines.
She’s like a more useless, childish and petulant Judy, but only succeeds in her questline because she has the backing of an entire clan plus she’s operating outside of Night City.
Her quest line starts with her trying to make it in Night City without her clan, and as expected, she’s complete loser who got conned by a Raffen, and she has to be bailed out by V, a God tier merc.
Then her next gig with you, still without the backing of her clan, has her accidentally getting her friends killed and ends with her clan doing the calvary has arrived moment.
I accidentally punched him in the face during our fight….. I couldn’t stop laughing.
Saul… he’s a fucking sellout. Reed is incredibly naive
I prefer male V over female V, voice wise, although both performances have their quirks.
I would’ve liked Mr Hands to remain Spooky Appendages the whole time over actually meeting him.
I never seen this guy lol
Yeah I hate this guy
Okay here we go
* Jackie was not destined to be V companion for the whole game. He was designed to die in the prologue to give V motivation in order to push forward the story. So to make him “alive” and “be V companion the whole game” it just borderline impossible
* The game gives you unfair advantage for Corpo lifepath. Why? Well because no matter what lifepath you pick, you will ends up messing out with Arasaka anyway. Corpo lifepath will, and will always have some advantages
* You can clearly see the game did really good job in the heist mission during prologue (before arasaka heist). From the planning (dex), setup (maelstrom, militech), final planning (afterlife), and the heist itself. They spent a huge tons of effort, money and writting into that one mission. You can feel it again in Phantom Liberty. Same vibe, same style.
* We already saw it, knew it from the 40+ minutes tech trailer. There is no way in hell you will see every single cutscene and animation during ripperdoc modifications. It just purely for the first time only to make it good as trailer
* I **HATE** the fact that the whole game (starting Act 2) is driven by a hidden “you will die soon”. I know its fictional, and purely for story purposes. But i hope for the next game, we as player have some freedom for this game. You, as mercenary, no restriction, no timed bomb, no chip, nothing, free to explore. This is why people were enjoying a lot before Arasaka heist, before V got Johnny in his/her head.
* “Meet Hanako at Embers” is a mistake. It should be optional, let the player decide what we wanna do next. The fact that the game forced you to go to Hanako no matter what (because meeting Hanako will opens up the rest of the ending) is not good for me. Like my V is clearly hates Arasaka, hate it soo much. that she didnt want to see Takemura friend. But nope, the game will not let you continue the main story if you dont progress the Arasaka path (Takemura –> Hanako)
Judy is a POS because she wrote the doll program for clouds (a tool which literally dehumanizes people and makes them unable to consciously consent to what happens to them during sessions with clients), and her virtu editing job is basically her being a pro gooner. She’s only seen as a viable romance because she has an attractive young woman with a punk aesthetic.
To elaborate on the gooning, the process of editing sensations of virtus is nothing like editing porn footage. You’ll have to review the product at least once (if not dozens of times) to ensure the sensations are all tweaked to spec. She’s literally gooning in a basement 24/7, making the sensations all feel 10x better than real life. I bet her nerve endings are fried to shit, half-numbed to the sensations of IRL physical touch.
I was like some rando asked me to pick him up and drop him at convenience store. Then he started shooting random gangoons. When that was over he just disappeared from my radar completely. WTF, who was he still a mystery to me.
I don’t like Takemura. I don’t think he is a bad character but he always gave me the vibe that he is being manipulative. Like he is using V to try and get his job back. I always let him die, aside from that one time for the achievement
Jackie’s an unbelievably one note character that the game almost forces you to care about
He’s this flawless cool best friend who has a loving family and a girlfriend who loves him sooo much, and everybody from every gang regardless of if they’re even friendly with the Valentinos just looooves Jackie Welles
And despite being a gangbanger, he’s just such a good dude!!! he’s got such a heart of gold, a real perfect best friend!!!!
Like from moment one it’s so obvious that he literally just exists to make the player feel sad when he gets shot. Seriously, I know nothing about Jackie other than the fact that he’s a nice guy, and everyone likes him. I genuinely felt like the game was treating me like a baby when we had that drawn out death scene
I’ve grown to love Regina, especially after completing all her gigs. It made me realize how much potential each fixer had for deeper stories. Honestly, every fixer should’ve had their own dedicated questline – something that explored their background, motivations, and personal stake in the city. They’re such intriguing characters, but most of their presence is limited to transactional gig texts. Regina, in particular, had so much depth hiding beneath the surface. With the right quests, they could’ve become just as memorable and impactful as the main story characters.
male V has way better line delivery (no hate to fem V just can’t get over his performance)
That there should have been a super extremely hard ending where v survives but you don’t lose your friends/romance , I hate the ending of phantom liberty where you live but somehow your romance who is in love with you gives up on you instead of trying to hunt you down like I feel like it’s the worst ending as none of the outcomes from it make sense
Maybe hot take: All characters should be romance-able by both Male and Female V. I understand that it’s better for actual character development purposes and like, making the characters feel human, to only have them favor one sex. However, it’s a video game. I don’t really care about that, let me romance who I want with my V.
Rivers quests aren’t that bad, they are one of my favorite
They shoulda let me get with Misty.
It’s about the drama (and the love of pagan vibe goth gfs)
