I keep feeling more and more vindicated for not bothering with this

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.

With how much hype there has been for this, I will never take anyone who says “It’s good now, they fixed it” seriously.

It happens with every game now I’m sure the PR teams at every major publisher use this as a crutch.

fuck someone here told me it was good and I got them for my bro

we'll watch edgerunners

if someone says sitch one more fucking time, im gonna have a sitch in my pants
