A luxury, once tasted, becomes a necessity.
You have to give it to Cyberpunk... my boy got his fuck on.
In what way? You get 2 Designated Love Interests depending on your chosen gender - 1 for gay, 1 for not, and I suppose both for bi. And 1 non-relationship "fling" that I can remember. Seems pretty mild imo for a game that hypes up it's own "hypersexuality" so much.
Also, side point, did anyone else find it super weird that the Designated Love Interests act exactly the same regardless of their designated compatability until "the moment" where they shut you down if you try anything? Found it pretty awkward when it felt like River was flirting with me the whole time, and he's not even into dudes.
For a game that wasnt a "porn" game it was pretty graphic, even if your partner choices were pretty limited. I definitely watched my character do 200% more fucking than in every other game I've ever played.
I was annoyed that I didnt get enough interactions right to do the Kerry endings too, I'm not doing a completely new playthrough just so I can fuck a dude tho.
And yes, River was definitely flirting with another dude.
It's certainly more than most games, but I was expecting less rigidity at the very least. It feels so checkboxy and limiting for a setting that's meant to be so unrestricted.
I hated that I made V a beautiful girl with a humongous dick but it was never addressed in the "romance" scenes
