Did they fire the original writing staff and hire some dudes from reddit to write this? Not that the base game had the best writing, but after an hour of playing the DLC there have been multiple instances of lines that seem to be terminally infected by the Gamer Mind Virus. Hearing V say “amazeballs” made me want to die.
Also, fuck having to save the president. Lame mission tbh.
I had fun with the gameplay of the base game, but it is boggling they have a cyberpunk game called Cyberpunk and there’s almost no cyberpunk in any of the narrative.
a youtuber i watched occasionally put it pretty well, “some cyber, no punk”
I’ve heard it called “boomerpunk” before, where it’s what aging cishet men think the cool cyberfuture looks like, without anything that makes them feel uncomfortable and where the political status quo is conspicuously the eternal post-Soviet 90s.
i thought the punk in cpunk2077 was when johnny silverhand tried to raid arasaka (but failed of course)
If you could forward this notification to whoever sold Bethesda on “NASApunk”, I’d appreciate this
