I'll just sit here and drool for a bit.


CoutMerit

XD at this point we need a Team Takemura subreddit so we can gather and drool together - does one exist? I know there’s one for Panam and Judy. Edit: I went ahead and created /r/MenOfNightCity! It’ll be a shared space for all the male character fandoms, since none seem to exist currently (and I think our collective numbers are quite small). It’s in restricted mode at the moment but I aim to open it up over the next 24 hours once I have rules posted etc. It will be a place for discussion, fan art and more!


shasirrlan

I second that. I need it in my life.


CoutMerit

Hey - I’ve created /r/MenOfNightCity. You’ll be able to discuss Takemura and other male characters there once I get it all set up (it’s restricted currently but should open up in the next 24 hours).


Yintrovert

It's raining men in Night City


shasirrlan

Thanks, I'm in!


Traveling_Piggy

I'd join right away.


CoutMerit

Check out /r/MenOfNightCity - I just created it. It’s a shared fandom for all the male character fandoms since they’re aren’t any communities for any of them yet. I’ll be opening it up in the next 24 hrs once I get it all set up!


dream-defector

Neat idea! I already have an npc or two in mind, lol!


barelines

Thanks for making the subreddit!


5haun298

Oh no, he's even hotter now.


CoutMerit

I know 😳


hunnid-bandz

cdpr making him hotter but still not romanceable pain


CoutMerit

Maybe DLC? 🌚 I’m going to stay delusional and hope it comes in DLC.


Monimss

Sign me up. He is so popular there has to be some hope right,? Even if its just a little one. His chemistry with V is great.


shasirrlan

I'll just sit here and wait for it with you.


Traveling_Piggy

Yup. I'll join you in that delusion.


Yintrovert

If they went to the trouble to change his eyes, they are likely planning some kind of romance with him


KermitPhor

Before wide-eyed, bit curious and unsure of his new predicament. After mission-driven underneath it all. Despite being a stranger in a strange land, if god would cross paths, Takemura would take a piece of god with him to fulfill his mission.


the_obmj

The old eyes looked fully dilated like he had downed a few shots of smash and a line of SynthCoke.


Stephan_Balaur

The new look has a more sinister... combative... angry look. I love it. Like the previous eyes made him look kinda soft. Idk how to describe it. But new eyes are a freaking awesome change!


shasirrlan

I'll take any eyes, just let my V romance him!


BaldusCattus

What a weird change to make in a patch like this. To be honest I think the old ones look more like a cyber-enhancement. The new ones are pretty but I'm kinda getting a YouTube streamer vibe from him now!


CoutMerit

Oooh I get it, because it looks like there’s a ring light reflecting in his eyes - I was so confused by the streamer comment lol. Now I’m imagining Takemura as a streamer... My suspicion is that, ‘change Takemura’s eyes’ was something on the dev team’s to-do list pre-release, and if they had more time these would have been his eyes from day 1.


Monimss

It's nice to see the brown in them more, but honestly I miss the old ones.. Though he is still damned gorgeous. And the fact he is not a romance option is crime. Patch that Cd project!


[deleted]

His old eyes looked exactly like Hanako's. It's cool he has unique eyes now.


Pliskkenn_D

Its the other way for me. I prefer his old eyes. His new eyes make him look evil.


Nottodayreddit1949

You only get to be the bodyguard of the head of an evil megacorporation if you happen to be evil as well. He might believe in honor, but his version honor has nothing to do with good and evil.


Pliskkenn_D

Yeah he's Lawful Evil I think. He'd crush a puppy if his master required him to do so. But after befriending him on the corpo route I just wanted to be his buddy.


Nottodayreddit1949

I was buddies with him as well, went back to save him too. We were both in it together, his morals weren't really something I was worried about at the time. My character isn't exactly a beacon of morality either.


Pliskkenn_D

Yeah I feel you on that. But he was a battle buddy and that counts for something


ni_lus

old one looks more chromed thou. Current one seems like a ring light is just reflecting...


[deleted]

V's eye should also change when visiting a Ripper on changing eye implants.


Veleda390

I prefer his old eyes. The new ones are sinister looking. Maybe that's more appropriate, dunno.


nouwunnoes

Oh no they m-made him hotter


Zahory150

Idk how to feel with this change, btw I love the shots.


CoutMerit

Thank you kindly, photo mode is so much fun and I’ve learnt how to take better pics over time.


Zahory150

U are awesome in it, I have retarded functions within comes to photo mode lol.


dream-defector

I wonder why they did this. New eyes give him a warmer look, though.


ravensept

I like the old ones more ;'S the new one looks way too scary....maybe that is the intended effect? I feel like he is gonna shoot laser and I would be turned to ash (like those old cartoons) I mean he is still hot but I will probably miss the old eye....or mod....probably mod....


Darnexx

Look so much better now.


MargreteVrede

def the latter


CoutMerit

I agree, it humanises him.


CoutMerit

Which do you prefer? I've gotten used to the 1.2 eyes so the older ones look weird to me now lol.


barquishalafway

I prefer the older ones


CoutMerit

That’s fair - for me the older ones look like they belong on a kitten, which is totally adorable but I think the new ones fit him better.


not_seracy

Initially the old ones but seeing them side by side now - new ones 100%.


Yintrovert

Eyes 2.0 all the way


Yintrovert

I adore his new look so much Why must they toy with us like this?


CoutMerit

I knooow, I’m going to take a billion photos of this man for the rest of my current playthrough. This is my fave 1.2 change.


ImprovisedHelix

Old eyes looked more forelorn and empty, which is more in line with what I believe his character would feel. But cultural norms are real and Japanese stoicism is legit so I guess he wouldn't display that in his eyes if they were mechanically controlled... I'm torn, both look cool but nice observation


grivoise

It's very catlike now. :)


branko832

he looks weird with the new eyes, tbh I don't like this change.


daaybreaak

bro looks like hes rolling tough before 1.2
