Cyberpunk 2077 - Mini Games & Side Activities!
719In Today's Cyberpunk 2077 video we are going to be talking about potential mini games and Side activities that will be available in Night City and in Cyberpunk 2077. Some of these side-quests have more credibility of showing up in 2077 and some will be more of what I think would fit and will be more speculation than anything.
The main attraction of Cyberpunk 2077 will most definetly be the main story and side quests, but I can imagine due to the narrative and heavy nature of the world of Cyberpunk 2077, we will likely need to diffuse with some more mind numbging arcadey mini-games as a break from hunting down corporates and prolific gangs.
First we have the potential for Boxing, MMA fighting and street fights. We’ve talked about this a bunch before, but boxing and MMA seem to be the main sport in night city with it all over the worlds screens, and how often we see people training on these robotic punching bags in the world. Boxing and fist fighting was also in The Witcher 3 as also mentioned before, so this style of melee combat may be something CDPR is comfortable with. This is also something that can weave nicely into the violent world of the Cyberpunk lore.
Next we have Braindance, which could possibly be something much larger than mere side activities, but can also be something to do in the privacy of your own apartment based off our initial viewings. Braindance would open up an infinite amount of psossibilites as Braindance allows you to live out your wildest dreams as a sort of sanctioned hallucinatory experience. Braindance bars and shacks are present in the lore, so maybe we can stop in at one of these to indulge in the myriad of possibilities it offers. Do take note that Braindances seem to be advertised on posters that have a “BD” in one of the corners.
Next we have bar games such as pool and darts. In the Trailer we see an augmented pool table and in a frame by frame series episode it is also mentioned as being retrofitted with technology. I can see a variety of bar games being present as mini-games and competing against NPCs within these. These mini-games would be your standard run of the mill bar activites such as slots and gambling, drinking, smoking and previously mentioned pool and maybe air hockey. There would likely be a high stakes Cyberpunk spin to it, so I hope if they go this route with it. You can bet your eddies or cybernetic enhancements in the hopes of stripping everyone in the bar dry.
I can also see a mini game pitting you against Jackie or other NPCs in who can pick up the most dates or one night stands at these bars.
We also have more traditional sports like Basketball as seen in the trailer, and some of the Cybersports present in the Cyberpunk genre as a whole. Rollerball from Alita seems like it would be a neat option, and obviously all these sports would have athletes with augmnets and cyberware which makes them more physically impressive and the sports themselves could be much more of a bloodbath.
BattleBots or an underground robot fighting league would be my personal addition to the game. If you guys have seen the Netflix series Love Death and Robots first Episode Sonnies Edge or Movies lIke big hero 6 you can kind of extrapolate on these concepets and kind of see what I’m talking about. Drones are a huge element of Night City. being able to use ones to defeat others and collecting their scraps for our crafting ability would be a nice addition.
Ofcourse they could go with the approach of having a card game like Gwent as NEteunner is a similar card game that’s license was not extended, and although CDPR have somewhat denied the prospect of having Netunner specifically, that doesn’t mean they couldn’t have something similar.
