Cyberpunk 2077 Sequel Faces Low Expectations for Cosmetic Upgrades

Alright, so here’s my take on it. I just sat down, coffee in one hand, keyboard kinda ready—or not. Here we go:

So, Cyberpunk 2077, huh? Gotta love it, with its flashy neon lights, but hey, let’s get real for a sec—V’s wardrobe options? Like, is it just me, or does anyone else feel like something’s missing here? You’d think in a world where style is practically a religion, you’d get more than just a couple of jackets and bland pants. NPCs strut around wearing outfits that scream creativity, yet here we are, stuck in the same old, same old. And let’s face it, that’s a bummer.

Now, don’t get me wrong—storyline? Solid. Choices? Immersive. But style? Not so much. I remember diving into the game, all pumped to deck V out in some wild, rebellious gear only to find… not much. I mean, maybe it’s intentional. Or maybe I wandered off in search of snacks and forgot we were talking about the sequel, which, by the way, better fix this wardrobe conundrum. Seriously, let’s toss in some new threads, shall we?

And, oh, those armor ratings. Why is looking cool such a compromise with staying alive? It’s a choice between rocking the scene or looking like you just rolled out of basic training. Meanwhile, the NPCs don colors as wild as the cityscape itself—makes you kinda jealous, doesn’t it? CD Projekt Red needs a little heart-to-heart here. Separate the style from the stats. Let the players walk the streets in something snazzy without sacrificing those sweet, sweet defense numbers.

Jumping into tangents here, ’cause why not? Remember games like Destiny 2 or Final Fantasy 14? They’ve nailed the art of cosmetic freedom. You get to look fabulous without giving up your combat prowess. Even the modding crew’s been busy tinkering with custom textures, showing a demand that could set the stage for Cyberpunk’s sequel to take customization to a whole new level—think LED tattoos or dynamic fabrics. I can almost see it now.

Night City screams for this. The whole body mod scene, the extravagant fashion, it’s begging for some over-the-top customization push. Imagine a world where you can dress V in LED-infused, mood-changing outfits, or slap on some corporate-chic gear if that’s your jam. It’s about time the game world caught up with its own lore, you know?

Anyway—wait, where was I? Oh, right, making customization feel real. Let players dive into this vibrant universe and truly become part of it. It’s not just about the clothes; it’s about the very essence of Cyberpunk. Let’s give V some personality, let’s turn heads, and maybe, just maybe, we’ll see players investing more time exploring every neon-lit alleyway.

So, fingers crossed for the sequel. Maybe it’ll break new ground, letting us blend into—or stand out from—Night City’s bustling streets. Here’s hoping CD Projekt Red is already sketching out some killer fashion ideas.

And with that, maybe I’ll finally find that perfect in-game outfit. Or at least a snack. Who knows.
