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.
CP77 always rubbed me the wrong way. It's a take on cyberpunk from back when American capitalists were worried about Japan's growing high tech industrial base, and carries a lot of the same implicit biases and racism. The bad guy corporation is Japanese, for instance. On top of that, they completely forgot what the PUNK part means. There's missions where you team up with cops to put down, by force, people with malfunctioning cybernetics. Knocking them out or killing them has the exact same effect. The game does not at any point critique this. Just pure co-opting of the aesthetic without a shred of regard for the philosophy or subtext.
