-'''Cyberpunk 2.0.2.0.''' or '''CP 2020''' is a role-playing game published by [[R.

 There was also a spin-off called '''Cybergeneration''', originally published as a supplement to CP2020 in 1993, then as a stand-alone game in 1995. In Cybergeneration players played teenagers with super-powers which they have developed as a result of infection by a nanite-based disease called the "Carbon Virus".

	However, after the disastrous launch, CDPR <Strike>pulled up it's sleeves, recharged the elbow-grease tanks and set to work on fixing the game and polishing it up to what it should have been at the start. As of the time of this writing (29.09.2022.) the game has been patched up and fixed to the point that it's nearing what we saw in 2018. In addition to the "engoodening" similar to No Man's Sky</Strike> semi fixed up the game, and added some features, which is nowhere near No Man Sky's redemption arc, nor the games original promises and previews. The game still runs quite poorly on last gen consoles (where it was originally set to release on), and the one and only expansion for the game wont even be released for last gen platforms. The game also got a significant shot in the arm player-wise due to the surprisingly good [[Anime]] tie-in called Cyberpunk: Edgerunners which saw a slew of players get into the game or give it another shot just as it was getting good. Lastly, the game also received mod support and toolkits meaning that the doors have now been open to some enterprising and passionate fans to get shit done and add their contribution to the mix.

	Plot-wise, the game leads on from ''Firestorm'': the Fourth Corporate War happened, destroying Arasaka Tower with a ~~pocket~~-nuke ~~and generally causing significant havoc in Night City~~, but ~~it didn't go full MAD and thus the utter shitshow that was~~ [[~~Cyberpunk v3~~]] never came ~~into existence~~.

Plot-wise, the game leads on from ''Firestorm'': the Fourth Corporate War happened, destroying Arasaka Tower with a mini-nuke, but [[Cyberpunk_v3]]'s events never came to fruition (and thank fuck for that).

	Fast forward past Cyberpunk RED to 2077. Arasaka has developed a biochip known as the Relic, which can effectively 'back up' a person's mind as pure data. V, the player character, and their fellow mercenary/cyberpunk Jackie get contracted by the Fixer Dexter DeShawn to steal it on behalf of a contractor. Unsurprisingly, [[Not As Planned\|shit goes south once they actually get it]]: it's in a prestigious hotel penthouse owned by Yorinobu Arasaka, oldest son of [[BBEG\|Saburo Arasaka]] (Bill Gates + Japan's Emperor in all but blood, i.e.: ''the'' really big cheese). While Jackie and V hide, Saburo gets murdered by Yorinobu in front of them, then Arasaka guards later discover them fleeing the scene, jump to conclusions and attack. Their Netrunner gets her brain fried by Arasaka security, Jackie is badly wounded, and the ~~case containing and maintaining the biochip is badly damaged as the two of them are forced~~ to ~~sneak/fight their way out of the hotel~~. ~~Jackie dies from blood loss as the two of them escape via an AI-controlled car, forcing V to implant the biochip into themselves to prevent it degrading into uselessness.~~		Fast forward past Cyberpunk RED to 2077.

	In a twist no-one could've seen coming (considering the fucking trailers spoiled it), Dexter promptly betrays V to save his own hide from Arasaka's manhunt for Saburo's killers, shooting them in the head and dumping their body in a landfill. Unfortunately for him, the Relic manages to resurrect V despite what would otherwise be fatal brain damage, and an Arasaka bodyguard who didn't buy Yorinobu's bullshit drags V off to a Ripperdoc to be healed. Unfortunately for ''V'', it turns out that the Relic had already been used to back up someone else's consciousness and their [[Grimdark\|brain is now being steadily overwritten with this engram, essentially dooming them to the complete death of their personality within a few months.]] V wakes up in their apartment to find they now have a rather pissed off Relic-dweller in their head - Johnny Silverhand (played by Keanu Reeves aka John Wick aka Neo aka Ted "Theodore" Logan)~~, who was captured by Arasaka at the end of the Fourth Corporate War and subjected to the engram-creating Soulkiller program~~.

	From there, the main plot shifts from making a name for yourself on the streets of Night City to V's desperate search for a way to stop their personality being overwritten by that of Silverhand, with various side quests allowing you to expand upon V's relations with Johnny (slowly changing him from 'pissed at being dead and stuck in your gradually-degrading brain' to 'Vitriolic, sarcastic, but somewhat friendly voice in your head'), attempt to find a treatment for Cyberpsychosis beyond 'Shoot them until they stop moving', take jobs from Night City's collection of Fixers to make a name for yourself, and catch up with several surviving members of Cyberpunk 2020's old guard of top-tier NPCs.

After a meeting with Hanako Arasaka where she offers her help in removing Silverhand from the relic in exchange for V taking down Yorinobu, Johnny and V are left alone on a rooftop to contemplate what they're going do to:

You die, Johnny dies, Arasaka gets off scot-free, and all your friends are either pissed, sad, or regretful about your choice. Don't pick this one, it means you miss out on the last mission, the epilogue, and the ending achievements.
	* '''The Devil:''' Side with Hanako Arasaka. You work with her faction of Arasaka to let Saburo ~~bodysnatch~~ Yorinobu and have Johnny excised from your biochip, but the brain damage remains ~~and is irreversible~~. Depending on your choice, you ~~can~~ then let Arasaka hit ''you'' with Soulkiller and store their personality on the vague promise they might be resurrected, or fuck off back to Night City and live out your remaining ~~days~~.		* '''The Devil:''' Side with Hanako Arasaka.

Depending on your choice, you then let Arasaka hit ''you'' with Soulkiller and store their personality on the vague promise they might be resurrected, or fuck off back to Night City and live out your remaining six or so months of life.
	* '''The Sun:''' Take the path of glory. You convince Rogue to work with you and hit Arasaka Tower head on, tearing through their mooks and battling Adam Smasher to the death (~~losing~~ Rogue ~~in doing so~~)~~, until~~ you reach Mikoshi - Arasaka's central engram storage. Alt's AI-self shows up and offers to take you or Johnny into cyberspace beyond the Blackwall, letting whoever remains keep the body. Johnny goes with her, and you take over the Afterlife, planning to pull off one last job before you die that'll carve your name into Night City history with a fucking broadsword.		* '''The Sun:''' Take the path of glory. You convince Rogue to work with you by wrapping up the unfinished business between her and Johnny, then hit Arasaka Tower head on, tearing through their mooks and battling Adam Smasher to the death (with Rogue dying to weaken Smasher ahead of your battle). Eventually you reach Mikoshi, Arasaka's central engram storage. Alt's AI-self shows up and offers to take you or Johnny into cyberspace beyond the Blackwall, letting whoever remains keep the body. Johnny goes with her, and you take over the Afterlife, planning to pull off one last job before you die that'll carve your name into Night City history with a fucking broadsword.
	** '''Temperance:''' As above, except you let Johnny keep your body. Johnny decides to unfuck his life now that he's been given a second chance, and performs a few minor acts of kindness before leaving Night City forever.		* '''The Star:''' The Sun, except the Aldecaldo Nomads back you up because you helped them out. Like in The Sun, one of their number bites it helping you against Smasher before you make it through to Mikoshi. After the raid, you choose to leave Night City with the Aldecaldo Nomads in the vague hope of finding a cure (or at least living in comfort among friends) in whatever time you have left.
	** '''The Star:''' The Sun, except the Aldecaldo Nomads back you up ~~and lose~~ one of their number helping you. ~~You~~ choose to leave Night City with the Aldecaldo ~~Nomad clan~~ in the vague hope of finding a cure (or at least living in comfort) ~~for~~ whatever time you have left.		** '''Temperance:''' The Sun or The Star, except you let Johnny keep your body. Johnny decides to unfuck his life now that he's been given a second chance, and performs a few minor acts of kindness before leaving Night City forever.
	* '''(Don't Fear) The Reaper:''' The Secret ending. Basically a harder (and better) version of The Sun and its branches; you only get one ~~life~~, so dying means it's ''over'' for ~~good~~. On the bright side, this means your friends all survive.		* '''(Don't Fear) The Reaper:''' The Secret ending. Basically a harder (and better) version of The Sun and its branches; you only get one go, so dying means it's ''over'' and you get a reskinned Reaper end (friends pissed at you for throwing away your life on a suicide run).

	Unfortunately, the game that was released in 2020 was...politely put, a mess. The vanilla version was rife with bugs and glitches to such a degree that it'd make a Bethesda game blush and develop inferiority complexes - characters would t-pose, objects would deform/float up/vanish and quests would become impossible to finish, and all of this would be a regular occurence. The PC version was the least bad of the bunch while the PS and XBOX versions got so bad that CDPR started offering refunds for the buyers on that platform.

	The reason why this had happened was multifold - As expected and fittingly ironic given the [[Cyberpunk]] setting, it was found that the management pushed the development of the game at least a year ahead of what it should have been and also crunched the dev team hard. Then a whistleblower revealed how the Q&A and playtesting was done by a scummy and exploitative Romanian firm called Quantic Lab that had the testers ~~prioritise~~ minor bugs for the sake of numbers instead of major ones that lead to the game's broken state. Lastly, the game was arguably a partial victim of the truly massive hype that was generated beforehand with people expecting a borderline life-changing experience instead of an (at most & best) a very well made genre contribution similar to Deus Ex.

	The reason why this had happened was multifold - As expected and fittingly ironic given the [[Cyberpunk]] setting, it was found that the management pushed the development of the game at least a year ahead of what it should have been and also crunched the dev team hard. Then a whistleblower revealed how the Q&A and playtesting was done by a scummy and exploitative Romanian firm called Quantic Lab that had the testers prioritise minor bugs for the sake of numbers instead of major ones that lead to the game's broken state. Lastly, the game was arguably a partial victim of the truly massive hype that was generated beforehand with people expecting a borderline life-changing experience instead of an (at most & best) a very well made genre contribution similar to Deus Ex.

	However, after the disastrous launch, CDPR <Strike>pulled up it's sleeves, recharged the elbow-grease tanks and set to work on fixing the game and polishing it up to what it should have been at the start. As of the time of this writing (29.09.2022.) the game has been patched up and fixed to the point that it's nearing what we saw in 2018. In addition to the "engoodening" similar to No Man's Sky</Strike> semi fixed up the game, and added some features, nowhere near No Man Sky's redemption arc. The game still runs quite poorly on last gen consoles (where it was originally set to release on), and the one and only expansion for the game wont even be released for last gen platforms.The game also got a significant shot in the arm player-wise due to the surprisingly good [[Anime]] tie-in called Cyberpunk: Edgerunners which saw a slew of players get into the game or give it another shot just as it was getting good. Lastly, the game also received mod support and toolkits meaning that the doors have now been open to some enterprising and passionate fans to get shit done and add their contribution to the mix.
