    Cyberpunk 2077 is, imo, a really good open world shooter with a great world and atmosphere if you view it on its own merits. Too bad CDPR spent all that time and money hyping it up as the next coming of RPGs as well.

    My main critique of it is

    spoiler

    that while it criticizes capitalism as brutal and cruel, it ultimately offers and shows no alternatives whatsoever. Infact, the act of opposing capitalism is depicted as futile and suicidal, which I feel is its own kind of "both sides" - capitalism sucks, but so does opposing it, so why bother?

      That's the whole cyberpunk genre though, it's political messaging is meant to function as a cautionary tale rather than revolutionary optimism.

        as a cautionary tale

        Judging by the bazinga billionaires out there right now and what they're financing and what they claim was the inspiration for it all, that intention has by and large been a failure.

            The Soylent douche also comes to mind. He's a full blown PUA creep and has had grand side projects like trying to make drinking water and SLEEPING obsolete.

      yeah they chucked in some anti-soviet brainworms in some quests too. one guy was derided as a nutjob for wanting to go to the soviet union (which is capitalist apparently) to get a full body replacement in cybernetics for MLS so he wont be immobile for the rest of his life. reason was apparently they just put your brain into a killdozer or some shit and youre forced to work in a mine to pay off your own equipment
