Love Kurt Hansen. Fight should have been much harder though. I actually hate going into Dogtown after he’s dead because it’s not him on the PA anymore
Generic lame character
Loved him as a character! Appropriately menacing, and his Bond-villain exchange at the roulette table was perfection. I wanted more from him though, and fighting him was a little too basic (like all boss fights in this game, I’d say). So I’d say cool, easy, and a bit of wasted character potential even though I really liked what we did get.
love him and I wish we could’ve gotten a third ending in the DLC where we side with him instead of either so mi or myers.
Fight is actually one of the harder ones in the game if you try and melee him imo. Generally cool character, even if he didn’t get that much focus which is fine by me. (I liked the plot having focus on Songbird and the NUSA, with Hansen more so being an obstacle to overcome.)
little screentime and he dies too soon
Cool guy, appropriate difficulty cause he’s not supposed to be as strong as smasher obviously but feels just right and his last phase when he starts chasing you down with his knife is pretty sweaty on Very hard
But yeah kinda wasted potential, it would’ve been wicked to be able to double cross both song and the FIA for Hansen if you wanted to play more of a chaotic night city legend, like (don’t fear) the reaper has you do. If not that I would’ve just liked to see more of him. He’s an imposing character
I’ve finished PL a few times and I honestly can’t remember the fight with Hansen 😅
Of all the handshakes in the game, I felt like his was a limp as all hell, I tell you what.
He’s a limpdick douchebag with coward levels of insecurity, who admittedly also did some super hard shit.
He’s like a dog who is all bark and no bite, except he does bite and it fucking bleeds. However that makes sense.
They should have given you the option to side with him, really made no sense in a multiple choice game like cyberpunk that you cannot side with literally the main villain of the DLC, baffles me
Boss fight wasn’t hard imo, but I love the line V delivers. Think it was like “ruler of dogtown my ass”
I bartended with his voice actor in a past life. Cool guy, Eliah Mountjoy.
Loved his VA and his design and wished he fot more screen time .Charismatic villain.
He’s easy on the eye and a proper villain. I like him!
Kurt Hansen was not only easily the most compelling and best villain in the game, but among the best in any video game and even some movies. He was measured, extremely smart, strong, cautious. He was like Gus Fringe to me. It took V, the strongest canon character in the entire universe, to take this dude out with the help of a Morgan Blackhand level solo and the most powerful netrunner in history o even get close to the guy. And if you answer even slightly wrong he still figures you out and kills V in the meeting.
He was the only fight I felt like actually worthy of being called a boss. I actually was worried I’d lose to him. I had more trouble with him than Adam Smasher who I’ve hilariously beat to death with the dildo weapon. Don’t think I could pull that off with Kurt Hansen.
Plus he’s low key kinda hot NGL.
Anti-climactic death in either choice outcome given how threatening he makes himself seem throughout the DLC. Although I do like that it makes him seem comparatively pathetic.
Does anyone not find the boss fights super interesting? Like I love this game, I mean I really love it, but the boss fights always feel clunky.
I liked the fact that I could absolutely murk the guy without even touching him.
I thought he was pretty cool. Actually intimidating, they did that well. He definitely felt like someone you don’t fuck with
Wasted potentional ,we should have ending with him as well
Why couldn’t we just side with him ,fucking with both sides
Major love here. I wish I’d been able to spend more time with him.
I thought he was pretty cool character and the Optional boss fight with him made me wish that regardless of who you side with, he still is someone you have to fight. If I could change things, what would happen is that if you side with Songbird, Alex manages to wound him but takes a bullet and uses a Sandevistan to escape. When V fights Hansen he just has less health but that is it.
He was an excellent villain and one I enjoyed fighting. Just wish he had a bit more screen time.
I think they could’ve done better with his outfit design, but I liked him generally.
Cool concept, but the fact that you fight him 40 minutes within meeting him was a bit anticlimactic. From meeting him at the BS , stealing the twins bio info, to killing him just seems lame. Make him a menace like Adam Smasher, there was little to no build up to him, only the side mission with paco, which I dont blame you if you skipped it.
Loved the voice actor. Made me appropriately despise his character. So much so, that after his little confrontation at the roulette table, I massacred all of his soldiers on my way out the club 😛
Cool villain. Very Bond-esque. The fight is relatively easy, but then again I try to be at least level 40 by the time I start PL because I have a dire need to get the Apogee Sandy as fast possible, but it’s still a pretty well put together boss fight.
I wish the game had more true boss fights outside of the Cyberpsychos. Oda and Smasher are still the only two bosses who actually pose a challenge regardless of your level.
Honestly Pretty good, he was Badass enough in cutscenes and backstory, while also getting a good number of side quests that showed how powerful he was in dogtown
To me Kurt Hansen is the cyberpunk equivalent to a Witcher.
I like him. He’s cool and competent enough as soldier and dictator to run Dogtown (albeit still shitty place to live).
Wish we have more quest with him and barghest or cut some deal with him to get neural matrix or backstab him later on to take it ourself or as alternative to songbird route.
Yesterday a dictator, tomorrow why not a business man?
Every time I heard Kurt Hansen, I thought of Chris Hansen, so when he sat us down at the table, I was laughing pretty hard to myself. I do love him as a villain though, and his PA announcements sound super awesome!
He’s… he seems like he tries so hard to come across as badass and intimidating that it just makes him look pathetic and weird. The raspy voice, the threats, the posturing. He’s like every two-bit dictator rolled into one giant asshole.
That’s not to say he’s not a good character, and he’s true to life, *~~I could certainly name at least one world leader who’s just like him~~*. To me, the inherent weakness of him is a part of the story. He’s only powerful cause he’s been in a series of good positions, neutralize that and he’s weak and worthless.
