USSR didn't dissolve in Cyberpunk universe.
It just liberalized. USSR stands for Union of Soviet Sovereign Republics and they're just as infested with megacorps as the rest of the still-habitable parts of the planet
Yes of course, but what i was referring to was this line in the game about how a liberal socdem 'USSR' still manages to be better than the U.S.
And in CP2077 Yurop all citizens are legally entitled to real vegetables in their diet. Murikans get kibble and high-protein bacterial colonies.
What do you mean? This is just US2023
LOL would the Russian version of this new name even translate to USSR?
yes!
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) = Союз Советских Социалистических Республик (СССР)
Union of Soviet Sovereign Republics (USSR) = Союз Суверенных Советских Республик (СССР)
they replaced USSR with Ukraine ("між Польщею та Україною")
Ukraine getting their own special version with completely different lore is really funny and also a little sad when you think about it too much.
One line of police dialogue referring to the game's Scavengers faction has been altered from the English "Couldn't all these assholes bite it out in the Badlands?" to a Ukrainian phrase that translates as "Couldn't all this rusnia bite it out in the Badlands?" As Tarasov explains, "'rusnia' is a Ukrainian derogatory term for russians. Scavengers are the stereotypical Eastern European gang in the game's universe."
Adding new slurs to own the russians
That'll get em! Next time I want to hurt someone I'll say a few mean things about them in a language they don't speak in a game they can't buy.
Aren't Russian and Ukrainian so similar that they're mutually intelligible except for a few things here and there?
It's a 60% lexical similarity rate (including writing scripts) . That's like equivalent to the difference between Mandarin and Cantonese...
When the Bandera Bucks get chargebacked because your government won't buy Ukrainian grain
I wonder if they left in the dog whistle to the right wing "FBI crime stats" trope, just to have extra solidarity with Ukraine
This makes me wonder, what's some good sourced rebuttals against the 13/50 argument? (Edit: A direct one, so to speak)
If you adjust crime stats with socioeconomic factors there is little racial disparity in crime rates within a certain economic bracket
Furthermore minorities also attract more police attention and get caught more hence higher arrest rates
even if racially enforced poverty weren't a factor it assumes as a given that police evenly and impartially enforce the law.
I've had these saved as pictures so idk where the post is hosted, but this gives a good sourced breakdown of why that claim is wrong.
The studio that made translation said that "All terminology is directly agreed with the CDPR" (https://x.com/unlocteam/status/1704887560063914442?s=20)
Meanwhile CDPR said: "The release version of Ukrainian localization of Cyberpunk 2077 features elements of dialogues that can be considered offensive by Russian gamers, These lines have not been written by CD PROJEKT RED staff and do not represent our views. We are working to produce correct lines and substitute them in the next update." (https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/cd-projekt-apologises-for-cyberpunk-2077-ukrainian-scripts-potentially-offensive-references-to-russians)
This likely means that 1 employee was responsible for it and did do it, however very little oversight goes into the translations and now that it's caused a problem the marketing/sales people are doing damage control because it will affect sales.
Make sense, Russians are one of their core audiences.
Yea but they banned sales to Russia and Belarus so idk who exactly they want to apologize to
Maybe to these types?

Edit: It has to look like shit because Lemmy doesn't allow to make it non shit.
So not only did they fuck over builds and skill trees. (Firing a weapon uses stamina? Like WTF. Separating pistols into a completely seperate branch in cool away from the rest of the guns forcing you to pick a dedicated style instead of a hybrid well rounded char.) They went Oops! All Nazis! 
I think I'l just finish my playthrough on the 1.63 beta patch on Steam and forget PL. The more I hear about this 2.0 thing, the more 
I get with the direction they went.
The guns are split between Body, Reflex, Cool, and Tech actually, with Intelligence being devoted totally to quickhacks
It is honestly a hell of a lot better than the original system they had.
Plus you can max out 2-3 attributes.
I'm so tired of politics in games.
I genuinely am, but for the exact opposite reasons conservatives are. They think everything is being controlled by jewish communists when in fact it's just liberal brainworms. Every time I see a game about "fighting megacorporations" I just assume it's another shitty game about spray painting an anarchist A while some quippy millennial character cracks jokes over your earpiece, and the megacorporation CEO is some 2010 hipster beard having ass who also acts like the world is his stand up routine audience
