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 thought the punk in cpunk2077 was when johnny silverhand tried to raid arasaka (but failed of course)
The most leftist thing in the entire plot is shortsighted adventurism by the embodiment of a boomer's idea of an anarchist, and that's the most scathing condemnation I can make of the game utterly missing the point of the genre.
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.
they have a shit imagination lol
shadowrun >>>>>>>> cyberpunk 2077
The tabletop players that I knew that hated the "politically correct shit" (that was what it was called at the time) in Shadowrun, particularly the fact that the First Nations got some cool magic and drove off the colonials at last, and that ranted that magic was "stupid" and wanted "just the cyberpunk" in some special custom campaign they wanted me to run all universally became full blown turbo chuds and I'm sure they enjoy the nonpolitical CDPR treats today.
i would beat them to death with the second edition rulebook
Just pour the giant pile of 6 sided dice into a pillowcase and start swinging.
I miss staging. Give me a 4m3 over a 5p any day.

If you could forward this notification to whoever sold Bethesda on "NASApunk", I'd appreciate this
