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 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
That's pretty fuckin swell
this cool cat is achin’ for a breakin’, see. giving me a big tickle somethin' fierce.
Oh. Nevermind then.
I've seen some pretty old slang get used in the present.
It's too small to read in this image, but this political cartoon that was contemporary with Jefferson had "cool" in a nearly contemporary understanding of use.
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.
