It is crazy for male v players, even for mods on Cyberpunk 2077 for pc, most are just for female v, a lot more focus seems to be on Female V. I don't play Fortnite, but it is a bit ridiculous to only include one, bad enough we don't have more Male V mods.
Doesn't help the fact that the romance option for Male V and Judy was taken down on Nexusmods, but the romance option for Female V and Panam mod is perfectly okay.. really goes to show the type of agenda being pushed.
@@Accuaro Hmhm even the Cyberpunk subreddit had the pride flag in their profile picture for a while... We really can't escape em no matter where we go lmao💀
@@Accuaro It’s definitely ridiculous but have it noted that these people are the minority. Most people played as male v and most of them romanced panam.
I think CDPR got caught with their zipper open from male v not being part of the collab. People were feeling like Male V was getting phased out for female V marketing, and it was alright until Male V fans are not able to get him in the collab. And it’s not like only males like Male V. Male V fans are LOYAL
It’s obvious, male v is associated with the original release of cyberpunk, female v is associated with phantom liberty and updated 2.0… male v is hidden and will never be seen in any promo material ever again lol
I really like female V’s design for fortnite but it does get annoying seeing the nonstop hype specifically for her with all the recent marketing and everything, coming from this being my favorite game and me having a close bond to the canon male version. Really see no reason why there couldn’t have been alternate styles
Oh, I can answer that: It's the same reason why female V on phantom liberty postcard: CDPR went full DEI and "Male V" is not progressive enough for them.
Hey arent most user created mods for the female version? If the numbers say most people play as female and the literal modding community itself is ignoring the male gender… Then no DEI did this, you did.
@@markedone494 i think is modding community ignoring the male gender because in most you can create whatever you want with you male V. Exept some specific moments. But for female V most chothes, hairstyle etc. look odd, And i dont talking about something like micronano bikini. For example i looking for round glasses for my female V. And game doesnt have that.
Dude, chill out. It's been clear since CDPR released that gameplay demo way back in 2018 that female V was seen as their "canon" choice. It's no different from how you mainly see male characters for the promotional art for games like Fallout 4 or Skyrim. You guys will cry woke and DEI over the dumbest of things.
Thing is Male V was the more prominent in the initial promotion and then as the game became more popular female V took more leading focus in promotion (especially in the phantom liberty promotion)
I'm ok with that, because it's an RPG with 2 to choose from. Mass effect does it too. Maybe moving forward companies should have both maybe interacting with each other? That'd be cool
I feel CDPR has always kinda preferred female V, that was very apparent in the promotional materials leading up to the game and other stuff too. I think her VAs better too imo. Still weird they didn’t make it a second style tho
@@holmboy Yeah, but now you can't have male V in fortnite. Therefore we need to cry like some hoes. Even tho 99% of people on twitter genuinely are only doing this to be performative. None of these people actually give a fuck about this shit lol.

Where is male V ? If you really want to go down this rabbit hole, I'll tell you... Some time ago Forbes made an article about CDPR's Tweet that 67,3% of players chose to romance Panam, which not only means that at least 67,3% of players chose to play as male V, but even chose to romance Panam in the first place, you can romance Kerry or don't have to romance anyone at all, so more likely at least 75% of players chose to play as male V when the game launched... Some male V haters on Twitter said that "female V was more popular" which was the reason male V wasn't added into Fortnite. How is female V *allegedly* more popular than male V ? How exactly is 25% more than 75% ? When you look at all of the Cyberpunk 2077 promo from 2018 to even 2023 before promo for Phantom Liberty started rolling out, all of it was male V, the trailers, the posters, gameplay footage, almost all of it, the only time I can recall CDPR using female V was the first showcase of gameplay, some of the later gameplay footage and that they replaced male V with female V on an alternate cover art for the physical game. After the trailer for Phantom Liberty got revealed, they didn't even make an alternate cover art with male V, and I don't recall them using male V a lot in the gameplay footage, they've basically only *used him* to show Panam's new romance options when update 2.1 released and in the update 2.2 stream CDPR only showed male V when showcasing the randomizer option, didn't even bother to show new customization options for male V. The Ultimate Edition trailer for the game which released 4 weeks ago doesn't feature male V *AT ALL* the trailer only features female V, both appearance and voiceover wise. Now when you look at all Cyberpunk social media they ONLY use female V, even on all digital stores where Cyberpunk 2077 is sold, it's only female V. At first I thought they were just trying to push for female V to get more attention since she wasn't in a lot of the promo material for the game and I totally understood it, but after a while I've realized they've clearly been slowly but surely transitioning from male V to female V being the canon. Fans have been asking CDPR about this but obviously they've been ignoring it and they're not even trying to hide it when the Ultimate Edition trailer doesn't feature male V at all. At The Game Awards 2024 CDPR showed a teaser of The Witcher IV which features Ciri as the main character and people called CDPR woke for having Ciri as the main character and I've been on CDPR's side cause even though I haven't played The Witcher III, I've seen gameplay of the game and some parts of the game were about Geralt training Ciri for her to take the mantle so it was totally unreasonable to think that The Witcher IV is woke but only then I started to do more research and realized that male V has been left out of any Cyberpunk 2077 promo for a while and that the way CDPR has been treating male V was at least questionable, so I went into this rabbit hole, and only after the Fortnite x Cyberpunk 2077 it came clear to me that CDPR went woke and I hate to admit it because I hate this word so much because it has been overused and misused lot. There really is no other explanation for this, male V was clearly the canon for the game for years but only after the game released they've been abandoning him for a long time, basically ever since to make female V the canon. So while I don't think The Witcher IV is woke I think that CDPR is... And before you come at me for being sexist, I want both V's to have the spotlight, they should both be canon because if they're not, then there really is no reason for the game to have you pick a gender in the first place. I've literally fought woke sexist discriminating braindead people on Twitter who were like: "thank god we only got female V, female V is canon, more people play female V, male V voice sucks, male V perfomance sucks, male V looks like an NPC" like... female V is literally a textbook example of what a lesbian looks like, how does he look like the NPC ? What pisses me the most apart from the clear DEI are people who are so disrespectful to Gavin Drea, his perfomance is great, before I started my game, I've looked at both perfomances and I thought that male V just felt more natural and more badass. Insane amount of copium incoming: I still bought all of the collab items to show that people are interested in this collab and want more Cyberpunk collabs in the future, that's me being hopeful that they add male V and Panam or Jackie even though I know there's a bigger chance of them adding Panam and Judy than ever acknowledging male V exists. They could've done a way better job of executing this collab, and I'm not just talking about them not featuring male V, but the wheels on the Quadra are absolutely ridiculous and the fact that this went through so many people and still got put into the game unchanged is absurd (they are perfectly fine on the collab trailer so idk wtf they're doing), the Night City Lights wrap is lazy, if I saw this without knowing it's from the Cyberpunk bundle I wouldn't even know (I think making the wrap look like the relic or just some cyberware would be way better and fitting), the lack of Samurai songs is embarassing, why would you put Johnny's guitar into the game when you can't even play the Samurai songs to begin with ?
Yea I'm aware of all this, and you made some fair points! That's why I did the video, it just needed to be asked. I think in this fortnite situation it's clearly fair to ask for male V. It's the holiday season, so I hope to see a response about this after. I haven't been checking right now, I also didn't think this video would get this much attention!
Female V was chosen because Johnny Silverhand (Keanu Reeves) was always going to be the more marketable option, and Rogue from CP2077 - the true waifu - is an old woman (eww, gross). Also - I don't think the Fortnite kids have caught on that YOU CAN"T MAKE ENDLESS, PERFECT UPDATES TO A SINGLE ONLINE GAME FOREVER...These tie-ins and deals are time consuming for the development team and cost a lot of money to get you to want to shell out more. I'm surprised they even included Female V, honestly.
I’m sorry with all due respect to Female V and her voice actor, I didn’t like her. I loved Male V, tough on the outside but when he finally breaks down you see his true self. It was also revealed a while ago that the majority played as Male V so it’s so weird how they focus on the minority of players. But this isn’t uncommon now especially with the female Shepard in mass effect getting all the spotlight when once again most players played as male Shepard.
They NEED to add a male V. A male V, panam and Adam smasher pack would be awesome. And if they wanted to include more they could add johnnys car to the game too
From the dlc on the marketing is way more focused on female V while the prerelease marketing mostly included male V. Just look at the cover arts of the game and the dlc. They also just released the ultimate edition trailer a few days ago where they only included female V. They even took the same look as the female V from the trailer. It makes sense to market that V and take Johnny aswell. Kinda sad there isnt a male V but I'll take either.
I always believed Fem V to be the canon character for some reason. Even outside the game world the voice actor narrates the Cyberpunk: No Coincidence Audiobook
Idk it depends how you played 2077. I personally feel like Johnny and male V had way better chemistry and it felt like 2 bros taking on an evil corpo. Either way however you headcanon it it’s frustrating how they (CDPR) are kind of discarding male V when he was the original poster child. Not that having either one as a poster child matters but when you actively forget the other one it’s just weird and feels disingenuous.
Even in the new cyberpunk board game set we got both Vincent and Valerie, I think this comes just to the more "marketable" option rather than "I think valerie is more canon"
it sucks bc i don’t want to buy just female v but if this doesn’t do well it’s less likely we’ll get a second collab with male v and other skins. was willing to pay up to 1800 for the skin with both but here we are
I feel like a lot of people weren't around for the Mass Effect days when Fem Shep became as popular and eventually more popular and then finally the default character over Male Shep. Largely due to the fact the voice over work was just DRASTICALY better with Fem Shep. I think that's the case here. The other thing is the default looks. Fem V just looks cooler. Male V looks like insert male lead form any game in the mid 2010's. Like seriously there was an old pic of every shaved head white male character and fans were getting bored of it. It was the "Killmonger locs" for white leads. To double back on the Fem Shep thing the ME team went as far as to completely redesign base Fem Shep for ME2 and 3. Taking away the bland blonde her and giving her a new red hair style. Giving her look more originality when compared to her male counter part. You add these two things and all the edits done on tik tok and youtube of Fem V and you see why CDPR went with Fem V as the face of the franchise.
I like how when cyberpunk first came out make V was the poster child and then at some point they completely forsook him in favor of female V out of the blue. But it’s cool I just see it as Male V doesn’t like working with corporations 😂
The only explanation is CDPR wants to put forth an image that matches their progressive predilections as a company so they’ve shifted to femV as the postergirl. Neither is canon and if someone says either is they’re baiting. It’s not fair to the fans that prefer male V that all promotional and collaborative material going forward only showcases one V.
l legit don't get were people say female V is better at all they both have their ups and down i like male V because i think he best capture V's hopelessness and don't say u like her cause of her VC we all know the real reason
!!! CONSPIRACY THEORY !!! The new patch for cyberpunk had new cyberwear in character creator One was light blue and pink Fortnite collab had a cyberpunk camo that didn’t really look cyberpunk like It was light blue and pink Cdpr updated female Vs look throughout the years and made her look masculine and ugly The trans flag is light blue and pink 🏳️⚧️ This might’ve been caused by the woke mob They new male V would sell more
Out of all the skins in that bundle, I'm basically gonna use Johnny and just Johnny. Keanu is great in pretty much everything, except for things like Constantine, though people still enjoy those movies. They definitely should add a male V skin.
Male V is the goat for me I like fem V don’t get me wrong but male V is what got me into the cyberpunk universe seeing that E3 2019 trailer, I’ve played a lot of female V Great actress and performance but male V is the embodiment of V period, whenever cdpr decides to make V canon it’s definitely going to be fem v cause the credits to phantom liberty only show female v regardless of playing male…
Im not suprised they have been queitly removing male V from the promotional material and cover art, heck CD project red has no problem changing established lore to push a certain message in Ciri becoming a witcher. Its not hard to put two and two together
Its whatever but they very clearly couldve made a male V. Theres a skin where this guy puts vr goggles and becomes a girl. I can't remember the name but I have the skin.
Honestly, I actually prefer Female V character design, Male V is cool and all but he kinda just looks like a "guy" (Which makes sense since you're supossed to make your own character) and honestly I don't know if there is any shady reason for the female V being the focus for a while (Other than her being almost non-existent in the first trailers and promo material for the base game)
Yeah i am really sad about this, i know they said "male V was marketed early on and they switch to fem V now" but CMON bro! Why do they have to completely shit on Male V now and basically forget about him even tho he should be exactly as important, both genders should have the same importance since it's an RPG, i never really liked Fem V because i didn't like her Voice (yes a lot of people glaze the va but i disagree), i thought she sounds like she tries to hard and it's kinda cringy and unnatural to me, i thought male V sound waay more natural, plus his friendship with Jackie and Johnny seems more natural and believable too
I played on day one on PC too, and I was one of the lucky ones that were able to play it well and experienced no jarring bugs. However, it can't be denied that the game launched horribly on old gen consoles and while it released on a 70%+ Mostly Positive reviews on Steam and maintained that until it became Very Positive, the conversation in the gaming community at that time were just drowned out by negative comments about the game. My experience was real, and I did enjoy the game, however, I'd get dogpiled on whenever I'd say even a little bit of positive towards to the game. The point is, the image of Male V has been meme'd to oblivion because of the launch. If I had to guess, that's why starting from 2.0 and Phantom Liberty, the promotional materials for CP77 have always featured Female V. They wanted a fresh start away from all that. Sucks for Male V fans though. I prefer female V, but contrary to what others said, I think Male V's voice acting was also good.
Female V is the more canon option. She is cdpr's clear preference. Her voice acting is way better too imo. Not saying male v is bad tho. He does his job well, but female v steals the show. Cherami Leigh is just so fantastic. I've heard her for years in anime dubs, and she always brings a nice tone to everything she does.
@MasterMike_ male v is just 1 note imo. He sounds kinda gruff and says all his lines very well but kinda boring. Female v has more personality and adds dimension to the character
@@tsivilsඞ because he's supposed to a tough guy for male gamers, Female V has more personality because she's intended for female gamers, she's strong and tough but she's still a woman that has to express her emotions, Male V could do the same but his voice is always the same since they want to keep that tough gimmick on him
Not true, there's no canon gender. "Funny story, when we were working on Cyberpunk we made the conscious decision that the quest designers were going to think of V as a female character, while the writers think of V as a male character," Augustynek said.
my preference has always been female v so i don’t understand all the uproar with male v BUT it makes sense why some people are kind of mad 😓 it would have been better to add both male/female v so everyone can be pleased
I am more angry that they even collabed with fortnite and yes i think fortnite sucks and its horrible videogame and i do not care if this collab “helps people discover new games” cus it wont because they do collabs just so they can get most people of different fandoms of games, its just for the money besides its disrespecting games by putting it in the same game that stupid little brainrotted kids play that does collab with a fricking skibidi toilet and it shows that companies that collab with fortnite dont care about fans but just about money, games are art and fortnite isnt, its garbage, it shows if companies sees their work as art instead of just some moneymaker or cash grab if they are really that desperate for a quick buck and as for why there isnt a male V is probably they did a quick research on which V is more popular and because more people prefer female cause they like the VA or just for dating options and also the developers were lazy enough to do actual work and just put one V that was more popular which was a female one and also maybe cause of woke epidemic, man i dont know i just hope there will be one franchise which will resist and will never collab with fortnite
I gotta tell you this i've been noticing CDPR for a year now and i've come to the conclusion that CDPR went Woke , DEI is running gaming, male v was the canon v back then in the trailers and promos but after Phantom Liberty everything changed , i hate the fact that people think that Female V is the most used by players where CDPR actually themselves announced that 67.3% officially have romanced panam , which brings the fact, Male V is the most used character by players but the MFs of TH-cam and everywhere using female v in their videos to bring attention from the simps , just look at their Thumbnails it's obvious, mfs putting characters with massive stuff if its like a hentai game or so , so yeah , good video man ❤
@ cmon bro think about how linear of an rpg cp2077 is it’s so linear it’s not even really an rpg game anymore it’s more of an action adventure game and it’s also cdpr style I mean look at Witcher 3 that game has multiple endings but only one true canon ending
Since when? That's literally not true, it doesn't even make sense that Fem V is canon, since Male V has a more natural and believable friendship with Johnny and Jackie
Why do you think that? The game was originally marketed with Male V, and he plays really well into the story. Other than feeling is there anything that Female V does that the other can't?
I’m curious as well because to me a female V feels super unnatural to the story with the way she talks, how her and Jackie become friends (in the intro they are literally living together which would be weird for a man and woman to do who are not dating and his mom is ok with it 🤣) and my biggest problem is not feeling like I can bro out which I guess is more of a guy thing but most players are guys so 🤷♂️
I have a strong feeling this is the same people who complained about the next game's sequels being a female like Ghost of Tsushima or the new Witcher female protagonist
Dude, if you really think that Ciri is just some sjw bullshit you haven't played the Witcher. They announced way back that Geralts story is over and his story ended perfectly in the witcher 3. That Ciri would be the new protagonist could have been guessed since the release of the witcher 3. She had the perfect set up for any new protagonist and has some unique power that would add on to the gameplay. She is literally the most obvious and perfect pick for the Witcher 4.
@ControllerLyfe no, like the story and dialogues seem more fitting when applied onto the female V and obviously heavily female centric promotion of the game, male v is still there but is given less importance in contrast to the female counterpart
Sorry but the female VA is better, has a cooler hairstyle and the careless badass persona with the plus of being a woman is just badass all across the board, no competition rly. He is very basic in comparison tbh
Wtf are you on about? they are literally the same character and same person! They act the same too😭🙏🏻, and imo fem V sounds like she tries to hard to be cool and is pretty cringy very often
it seems like for most settings, CDPR favors Valorie as the MC of cyberpunk 2077. fem V does have better dialogue imo but im personally a Vincent player. it is weird they didnt have them both as one skin. Johnny would flip his cyberlid if he saw this collab though
I don't understand this argument that female V is a better voice, like i completely disagree, her voice was one of the main reasons i didn't wanna play fem V💀🙏🏻
I'll get the car skin tho XD
Male V doesn't fuck with Corpos.

Also - I don't think the Fortnite kids have caught on that YOU CAN"T MAKE ENDLESS, PERFECT UPDATES TO A SINGLE ONLINE GAME FOREVER...These tie-ins and deals are time consuming for the development team and cost a lot of money to get you to want to shell out more. I'm surprised they even included Female V, honestly.
The entirety of the One piece, Dbz, Mob Psycho, and One Punch Man verses would be needed to unsheath my sword from its stone (Rouge)
I’m sorry with all due respect to Female V and her voice actor, I didn’t like her. I loved Male V, tough on the outside but when he finally breaks down you see his true self. It was also revealed a while ago that the majority played as Male V so it’s so weird how they focus on the minority of players. But this isn’t uncommon now especially with the female Shepard in mass effect getting all the spotlight when once again most players played as male Shepard.
Na they should put David Martinez
They NEED to add a male V. A male V, panam and Adam smasher pack would be awesome. And if they wanted to include more they could add johnnys car to the game too
From the dlc on the marketing is way more focused on female V while the prerelease marketing mostly included male V. Just look at the cover arts of the game and the dlc. They also just released the ultimate edition trailer a few days ago where they only included female V. They even took the same look as the female V from the trailer. It makes sense to market that V and take Johnny aswell. Kinda sad there isnt a male V but I'll take either.
You know any male V isn’t there.
I’ve already accepted that Valorie is the canon V in Cyberpunk 2077, though I wish Vincent got some love every once in a while
My dude!!! You finally got your views! About time! 🔥🔥🔥
Ah yes I was excited but now I will be keeping my money since no male v.
I always believed Fem V to be the canon character for some reason. Even outside the game world the voice actor narrates the Cyberpunk: No Coincidence Audiobook
Idk it depends how you played 2077. I personally feel like Johnny and male V had way better chemistry and it felt like 2 bros taking on an evil corpo. Either way however you headcanon it it’s frustrating how they (CDPR) are kind of discarding male V when he was the original poster child. Not that having either one as a poster child matters but when you actively forget the other one it’s just weird and feels disingenuous.
There is *no canon* V.
DEI thats why.
Even in the new cyberpunk board game set we got both Vincent and Valerie, I think this comes just to the more "marketable" option rather than "I think valerie is more canon"
Gotta get that BlackRock money !
is simple, having Fem V just adds more to the marketing strat.
I liked the 2018 e3 male v model
Gener inequality lmao... Srsly though most male protagonists get shafted when it comes to stuff like this and mods.
I got everything in the set but I still wish they had male V since I played as him in the game
it sucks bc i don’t want to buy just female v but if this doesn’t do well it’s less likely we’ll get a second collab with male v and other skins. was willing to pay up to 1800 for the skin with both but here we are
Good point. Like it doesn't bother me a lot just found it confusing why he wouldnt be there. I think I'll get the blades and the car for sure.
I feel like a lot of people weren't around for the Mass Effect days when Fem Shep became as popular and eventually more popular and then finally the default character over Male Shep. Largely due to the fact the voice over work was just DRASTICALY better with Fem Shep. I think that's the case here. The other thing is the default looks. Fem V just looks cooler. Male V looks like insert male lead form any game in the mid 2010's. Like seriously there was an old pic of every shaved head white male character and fans were getting bored of it. It was the "Killmonger locs" for white leads. To double back on the Fem Shep thing the ME team went as far as to completely redesign base Fem Shep for ME2 and 3. Taking away the bland blonde her and giving her a new red hair style. Giving her look more originality when compared to her male counter part. You add these two things and all the edits done on tik tok and youtube of Fem V and you see why CDPR went with Fem V as the face of the franchise.
I like how when cyberpunk first came out make V was the poster child and then at some point they completely forsook him in favor of female V out of the blue. But it’s cool I just see it as Male V doesn’t like working with corporations 😂
The only explanation is CDPR wants to put forth an image that matches their progressive predilections as a company so they’ve shifted to femV as the postergirl. Neither is canon and if someone says either is they’re baiting. It’s not fair to the fans that prefer male V that all promotional and collaborative material going forward only showcases one V.
l legit don't get were people say female V is better at all they both have their ups and down i like male V because i think he best capture V's hopelessness and don't say u like her cause of her VC we all know the real reason
!!! CONSPIRACY THEORY !!!
The new patch for cyberpunk had new cyberwear in character creator
One was light blue and pink
Fortnite collab had a cyberpunk camo that didn’t really look cyberpunk like
It was light blue and pink
Cdpr updated female Vs look throughout the years and made her look masculine and ugly
The trans flag is light blue and pink 🏳️⚧️
This might’ve been caused by the woke mob
They new male V would sell more
Out of all the skins in that bundle, I'm basically gonna use Johnny and just Johnny. Keanu is great in pretty much everything, except for things like Constantine, though people still enjoy those movies. They definitely should add a male V skin.
All the people that use the Keanu skins are tough I always got to sweat vs the wicks 😂
@ControllerLyfe you wouldn't against me, my friends are pros, I'm basically still a noob
Male V is the goat for me I like fem V don’t get me wrong but male V is what got me into the cyberpunk universe seeing that E3 2019 trailer, I’ve played a lot of female V Great actress and performance but male V is the embodiment of V period, whenever cdpr decides to make V canon it’s definitely going to be fem v cause the credits to phantom liberty only show female v regardless of playing male…
they are WOKE is why
Im not suprised they have been queitly removing male V from the promotional material and cover art, heck CD project red has no problem changing established lore to push a certain message in Ciri becoming a witcher. Its not hard to put two and two together
Its whatever but they very clearly couldve made a male V. Theres a skin where this guy puts vr goggles and becomes a girl. I can't remember the name but I have the skin.
Yep, I think that's the issue there. Dragon ball z released all kinds of skins, even Vegeta and Bulma 😂
i mean we all know why but what if they make another set of skins with Male V and other characters
Yep, that's what I said in the video. Here's hoping!
Honestly, I actually prefer Female V character design, Male V is cool and all but he kinda just looks like a "guy" (Which makes sense since you're supossed to make your own character) and honestly I don't know if there is any shady reason for the female V being the focus for a while (Other than her being almost non-existent in the first trailers and promo material for the base game)
It’s a his and her thing.
It really ain't that deep most of Y'all probably don't even play fortnite like that or never did. Y'all crazy smh😂
What does this comment even mean? Is it wrong to want a character that was left out? Lmao bizarre bro
@ceTarnity it mean stop bitching about it
No one said it's "deep" we just want to play male V, because we like him more, why y'all so offended because someone prefers the other gender option
Yeah i am really sad about this, i know they said "male V was marketed early on and they switch to fem V now" but CMON bro! Why do they have to completely shit on Male V now and basically forget about him even tho he should be exactly as important, both genders should have the same importance since it's an RPG, i never really liked Fem V because i didn't like her Voice (yes a lot of people glaze the va but i disagree), i thought she sounds like she tries to hard and it's kinda cringy and unnatural to me, i thought male V sound waay more natural, plus his friendship with Jackie and Johnny seems more natural and believable too
I played on day one on PC too, and I was one of the lucky ones that were able to play it well and experienced no jarring bugs. However, it can't be denied that the game launched horribly on old gen consoles and while it released on a 70%+ Mostly Positive reviews on Steam and maintained that until it became Very Positive, the conversation in the gaming community at that time were just drowned out by negative comments about the game. My experience was real, and I did enjoy the game, however, I'd get dogpiled on whenever I'd say even a little bit of positive towards to the game. The point is, the image of Male V has been meme'd to oblivion because of the launch. If I had to guess, that's why starting from 2.0 and Phantom Liberty, the promotional materials for CP77 have always featured Female V. They wanted a fresh start away from all that. Sucks for Male V fans though. I prefer female V, but contrary to what others said, I think Male V's voice acting was also good.
It makes sense for them not to include male V considering all of the newer trailers and marketing has been female V
We should still have male
@gtmo55mack20 why does it matter that much to you? Its just a virtual cosmetic female V is fine and maybe they will add a male V later on
Female V is the more canon option. She is cdpr's clear preference. Her voice acting is way better too imo.
Not saying male v is bad tho. He does his job well, but female v steals the show. Cherami Leigh is just so fantastic. I've heard her for years in anime dubs, and she always brings a nice tone to everything she does.
Please someone explain how fem V is the better VA! I don't understand that
@MasterMike_ male v is just 1 note imo. He sounds kinda gruff and says all his lines very well but kinda boring. Female v has more personality and adds dimension to the character
@@tsivilsඞ because he's supposed to a tough guy for male gamers, Female V has more personality because she's intended for female gamers, she's strong and tough but she's still a woman that has to express her emotions, Male V could do the same but his voice is always the same since they want to keep that tough gimmick on him
male V 😏❤🔥
🤝😁
People just prefer Valerie to Vincent
Where is male V? In the land of non-canon.
😂
😂
😂
Probably someone wanted woman focus lol
Its not that big of a problem
One guy skin one girl skin
If they did 3 we wouldn't be having this conversation 😂
V is cannodically a female. its not just an RPG. when they wrote the story they intended the main to be a Female lead.
Not true, there's no canon gender. "Funny story, when we were working on Cyberpunk we made the conscious decision that the quest designers were going to think of V as a female character, while the writers think of V as a male character," Augustynek said.
@@ControllerLyfe This is indeed correct, both are valid, no matter how popular either is.
Show your source because from what I've seen it's the players choice and left ambiguous.
Complete lies
my preference has always been female v so i don’t understand all the uproar with male v BUT it makes sense why some people are kind of mad 😓 it would have been better to add both male/female v so everyone can be pleased
wdym you don't understand it lol? Because a lot of people prefer Male V
I am more angry that they even collabed with fortnite and yes i think fortnite sucks and its horrible videogame and i do not care if this collab “helps people discover new games” cus it wont because they do collabs just so they can get most people of different fandoms of games, its just for the money besides its disrespecting games by putting it in the same game that stupid little brainrotted kids play that does collab with a fricking skibidi toilet and it shows that companies that collab with fortnite dont care about fans but just about money, games are art and fortnite isnt, its garbage, it shows if companies sees their work as art instead of just some moneymaker or cash grab if they are really that desperate for a quick buck and as for why there isnt a male V is probably they did a quick research on which V is more popular and because more people prefer female cause they like the VA or just for dating options and also the developers were lazy enough to do actual work and just put one V that was more popular which was a female one and also maybe cause of woke epidemic, man i dont know i just hope there will be one franchise which will resist and will never collab with fortnite
I gotta tell you this i've been noticing CDPR for a year now and i've come to the conclusion that CDPR went Woke , DEI is running gaming, male v was the canon v back then in the trailers and promos but after Phantom Liberty everything changed , i hate the fact that people think that Female V is the most used by players where CDPR actually themselves announced that 67.3% officially have romanced panam , which brings the fact, Male V is the most used character by players but the MFs of TH-cam and everywhere using female v in their videos to bring attention from the simps , just look at their Thumbnails it's obvious, mfs putting characters with massive stuff if its like a hentai game or so , so yeah , good video man ❤
Male V isn’t canon bro female V is canon V
That's not what I read 😂 if so why make it an RPG then
@ cmon bro think about how linear of an rpg cp2077 is it’s so linear it’s not even really an rpg game anymore it’s more of an action adventure game and it’s also cdpr style I mean look at Witcher 3 that game has multiple endings but only one true canon ending
Since when? That's literally not true, it doesn't even make sense that Fem V is canon, since Male V has a more natural and believable friendship with Johnny and Jackie
@ lmao more natural? Bro ur basing facts about the game on ur opinion alone fem V is canon male V isn’t simple as that its in the lore
not really sure why but imo male v isnt a very good actor and female v fits more in the story
Why do you think that? The game was originally marketed with Male V, and he plays really well into the story. Other than feeling is there anything that Female V does that the other can't?
@@AccuaroExactly
Interesting! I thought they were both good
Male V is a great voice actor, he sounds way more natural and believable than fem
I’m curious as well because to me a female V feels super unnatural to the story with the way she talks, how her and Jackie become friends (in the intro they are literally living together which would be weird for a man and woman to do who are not dating and his mom is ok with it 🤣) and my biggest problem is not feeling like I can bro out which I guess is more of a guy thing but most players are guys so 🤷♂️
I have a strong feeling this is the same people who complained about the next game's sequels being a female like Ghost of Tsushima or the new Witcher female protagonist
Dude, if you really think that Ciri is just some sjw bullshit you haven't played the Witcher. They announced way back that Geralts story is over and his story ended perfectly in the witcher 3. That Ciri would be the new protagonist could have been guessed since the release of the witcher 3. She had the perfect set up for any new protagonist and has some unique power that would add on to the gameplay. She is literally the most obvious and perfect pick for the Witcher 4.
Ig theyve always consider female v to be more canon
I haven't read that but if they did why even make it an RPG lol
@ControllerLyfe no, like the story and dialogues seem more fitting when applied onto the female V and obviously heavily female centric promotion of the game, male v is still there but is given less importance in contrast to the female counterpart
@@shadow-of-sundered-star1105how? How does female V "fit mote"?
Sorry but the female VA is better, has a cooler hairstyle and the careless badass persona with the plus of being a woman is just badass all across the board, no competition rly. He is very basic in comparison tbh
I know a lot of amazing women, female V is legit for sure.
Wtf are you on about? they are literally the same character and same person! They act the same too😭🙏🏻, and imo fem V sounds like she tries to hard to be cool and is pretty cringy very often
it seems like for most settings, CDPR favors Valorie as the MC of cyberpunk 2077. fem V does have better dialogue imo but im personally a Vincent player. it is weird they didnt have them both as one skin. Johnny would flip his cyberlid if he saw this collab though
They both fit incredibly well
Johnny would for sure lol
I don't understand this argument that female V is a better voice, like i completely disagree, her voice was one of the main reasons i didn't wanna play fem V💀🙏🏻
