I want a duel between the guy who wrote this and the guy who wrote about the Soviet Union being good in-universe
Once again commenting to point out that cyberpunk’s ‘USSR’ is an EU-style capital cartel that formed after the soviet union.
but if you read the entry they talked about socialized medicine still being there and that’s what they praised
I read it. The UK has the NHS that doesn’t mean they’re still not a neoliberal shithole.
That lore entry was designed to be absolutely devoured by left twitter but the actual lore is lib shit. Especially in the context of the genre, it’s thoroughly reactionary.
I wonder if it was intentional, I get what the joke is (expensive sports car being driven fast gets in tons of accidents). It’s just out of place, especially with plenty of anti-capitalist imagery throughout the rest of the game. Then again there’s still misspellings and placeholder text all over the fucking place, so some fash chud might have just slipped this in and no one noticed.
There was already a post on the subreddit of this with the title “Based”. Fuck this game and it’s shitty fanbase. Steal watchdogs instead, or just play an old GTA
Borderlands but in a city and with more bugs.
I pirated this farce of an unfinished trashcan. I hate it and can’t stop playing, even though I don’t enjoy it.
The le epic keanu moment got me to put it down. I had low expectations and it was worse than that
ive been playing it because a friend bought it and has library sharing with me
the keanu thing is even worse than i thought. i thought he’d be a one-off character who does his thing, dies, is le epic gamer wholesome 100 or whatever and then he fucks off.
spoiler
the entire story is literally about him now. i have no idea if the rest of the game is gonna be like this but he has invaded my mind and physically abuses me in my bedroom at night. im not even joking. that’s what the game’s story is at the point im at now.
Lol yep that’s exactly where I quit. Was whining about it in the megathread last night and this morning
Playing the original deus ex now instead
spoiler
The dialogue is abysmal, he’s a terrible antihero and they had his nonsensical anti-capitalist terrorist character come from a grunge band in a fucking cyberPUNK game. Noted anti-capitalist genre grunge rock, in 2023.
Also that 10 minutes of john wick sim in the interlude is some of the worst gameplay I’ve ever experienced in any video game I’ve ever played.
My take is the designers watched the press F to pay respects scene in cod and asked themselves how they could do something that banal but stretch it into an hour of gameplay.
Btw the rest of the story will be about him. The narrative arc feels pretty much lifted straight from a deus ex game and that’s how they usually flow.
