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.
This is wholesome seal 100 keanu reaves big chungus epic bacon
I expect this line to be spoken verbatim at some point
buttrock ‘punk’ starts playing as Game of thrones, Cyberpunk, The Witcher and The Office are merged into a reddit slob punkgolem
Me, precisely at the moment when Avenged Sevenfold does a cover for “Toss a Coin to your Witcher” in the PrestigeVerse epic crossover
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.
If you could forward this notification to whoever sold Bethesda on “NASApunk”, I’d appreciate this
a youtuber i watched occasionally put it pretty well, “some cyber, no punk”
i thought the punk in cpunk2077 was when johnny silverhand tried to raid arasaka (but failed of course)
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.
Hearing V say “amazeballs” made me want to die.
I get that “amazeballs” might come off as cringy, but doesn’t CPunk77 take place in the far future? I feel like memey words like that would be normal in the English Lexicon of that time. I mean, words like Yeet, S-mp, Rizz, Based and other zoomer words (hell even the word “Zoomer” itself) started off as memes but because they’re so widely used they’re becoming part of the dictionary.
Seeing as it’s basically a word from like 2005, that would be like using slang from 1951 today
this cool cat is achin’ for a breakin’, see. giving me a big tickle somethin’ fierce.
Considering how utterly terrible the ideological presentation and plot rails are for the game, especially for its expansion, I’d take a hundred “amazeballs” over even more programming to tell how nothing can really change or improve so may as well join the feds and be a cool insider with delicious boots.
I stand firm in my conviction that I was completely justified never thinking about this game again after finishing the main story.
The anime was good, at least.
Edgerunners was so good it gaslit people into thinking 2077 was a good game.
This franchise could have been so fucking good if it were in the hands of communists like Trigger’s team
the original creator is a turbo-lib (cop is a class in the tabletop) and he advised for the game so it was doomed from the start, giving it to a bunch of poles certainly didnt help.
Pondsmiths entire premise for “cyberpunk” is that everything is fucked so there’s no point in improving society somewhat. Truly a match made in hell.
