Did anyone else feel the ending to be lackluster?

Absolutely. After some fuckfests and hollow updates, I'd expect this game to at least finish on a high note. Which didn't happen. Shame...
I still love the LIs, beautiful renders, and stuff...but it could have at least ended better...

Or semi retired, the final parts of this game for me was clearly a sign of a bit of burn out developer. It is good for creators sometimes take a longer break so they get their "creative juices" flowing better and probably to get their own life in order and nothing better than a good break after completing a game/creation. It would be much worse if this was abandoned/on hold in the middle of development. Take this with a grain of salt because I don't follow AVNs besides on this site/forum, rarely I check their other channels like discord or patreon etc etc.

Sucks a lot to be honest to know/think he may not create another one. Philly was one of the best when it came to lores and creating a world from scratch. The ending to CoBD maybe rushed us but apart from that, both of his games were beautiful. Made you sitck beyond the porn and at the edge of your seat.
Hope he is doing well, wherever that maybe.

Yep both their games are in my "restrict" Tier S list of 27 games at the moment, some of them are in my sig but I keep it with 1 game per developer (also at the limit of characters to write on it haha). Besides Philly there is only other 4 developers that have 2 games in said list.
Yeah the last chapters might be a bit rushed but they still told the story Philly wanted to tell I guess and is one of the best on this site for me, but to be honest I had to be in the right mood to start playing COBD for the first time (only on 2nd attempt, first only played the first chapter hehe) because for cyberpunk stories (one of my favorite sci-fi sub genres) I can't be in the wrong state of mind to watch/play them, same happened when I re-watch Blade runner or Ghost in the Shell for example, for Akira I really have to be in a great mood

Well, Philly did say while the game still had a few chapters to go that the next game is in the same dystopia universe as CoBD, but with a completely different cast.
And as far as I know he hasn't said anything about changing his mind.
Sure doesn't sound like retirement to me, but take from that what you will.

Hope so, but it may be better that he takes some time to rest first. Maybe he was indeed getting some burnout by the end of this game.
i dont think you're the only one who had to give CoBD 2 attempts to enjoy it, a lot of people here did that. and it makes complete sense to be in the right mood and setting to enjoy the art. that was me with Cyberpunk 2077, actually fell in with it during my 2nd attempt and ended up falling for all things cyberpunk and sci-fi.Yep both their games are in my "restrict" Tier S list of 27 games at the moment, some of them are in my sig but I keep it with 1 game per developer (also at the limit of characters to write on it haha).

also, would it be possible by any chance to view your tier-list? i've been wanting to try something new but a lot of VNs are lacking somewhere or the other.

Yeah usually cyberpunk uses heavy or very out of the box scenarios (to say the the least) and also very dark environments, so I have to make sure my state of mind is up there because if I feel even just a little down or stressed and not so open minded and willing to enter a state of suspension of disbelief more than I usually I already do (since I love sci-fi and fantasy) I won't enjoy it like I should.
Sure, I can start a private conversation with you with my list including the direct links for the page threads, just give me some minutes. But be aware that it is just my personal taste Tier S games, I'm sure each one have their own in their minds.
Hi there.
How are you?
I downloaded your mod yesterday to enhance the FPS for City of Broken Dreamers.
I have no way of determining whether it has worked on the FPS.
I extracted your files, then copied the Video Sub Folder in your download to the Game Folder of game directory but not sure if this was what I was meant to do.
You seemed to be stating you need to copy the whole Game Folder (with the Video subfolder in it) across and maybe replace the existing Main Game folder?
If you could clear this up would be appreciated, thankyou!

I don´t know why that person thinks he retired. Is it because he hasn´t said anything in a while?

Finally had the time to finish this masterpiece and I gotta say... the biggest surprise for me was learning the mc was bald the entire time. Like god damn, that shit made me go wtf for real xD
Anyway, I gotta agree with everyone else here, that ending felt kinda rushed but not bad since its conclusive enough? For context, I replayed this game from ch1-ch15 straight in a couple of days but saw so many plot points, romances and future choices that were set up but never really had an outcome or rather didn't deliver on most of it. On the bright side, we had the bonus scenes and I guess very happy endings for the 4Li's

Guys, I have to give up, I do not know how to get all the scenes, I have tried walkthroughs, mods and cheats but nothing, could somebody explain to me how to get the ending where Gloria accepts Victoria proposal? I have followed everything and supposedly even got the right variables and events, but still nothing, If someone got it, could you please explain it to me step by step? I am only missing 3 scenes to get all the endings and finally complete it fully. Thank you in adcance!
pretty sure you need to walk through the door in one of Vic's scenes at the beginning, then try to rat Gloria out for Vics (you will fail, but its still prob one of requirements), and overall being a terrible horny fuck. I think thats how I got it anyway lolGuys, I have to give up, I do not know how to get all the scenes, I have tried walkthroughs, mods and cheats but nothing, could somebody explain to me how to get the ending where Gloria accepts Victoria proposal?
