The movie going out of it's way to let the audience know that the guy has been innocently convicted just takes all the interest ouf of the whole thing. This being the all-time IMDb top movie is pretty telling for just how wide as an ocean-deep as a puddle that sites understanding of film was. Thank God for letterboxed (which also sucks in tons of different ways).

If you are in the mood for other prison films I'd recommend Grand Illusion by Jean Renoir (although that films pre-WW2 humanism could definitely rub someone the wrong way if they're not in the mood for it) or Reform School Girls which is an absolute exploitation masterpiece.

good immigrant (married, integrated, producing surplus value) vs. bad immigrant (young male, refugee, etc.)

with how little of the og team seems to be left im happy they aren't making "more disco elysium content", which i frankly could have done without even if the original devs were still there.

can we just ignore these guys and maybe talk about games please? i mean i get that there's nothing to talk about this soulless UE5 techdemo ass remake but there's literally nothing to be gained by giving any attention to this idiot

Don't worry there will be twists later on that the dad-rock Gen X rebel doesn't actually hold any Anti-Corporate beliefs but just did his little act of terrorism for revenge.

The whole game is a farce, your main characters sole motivation being "I wanna be the bestest self-made cyberpunk bounty hunter dude ever" is just the most thinly veiled self-insert for cdprojects corporate self-image. There's really nothing deeper about it, cdproject made this game because they thought cyberpunk was cool™️ and making a cyberpunk game would show how cool and punk™️ they are. The whole game is nothing but some nerds having a wank over how they are suddenly the biggest and bestest developers in the world.

She's right. Combat in RPGs is always a waste to get to the good stuff. Whether I whack an orc over the head with a mace or a sword is the least interesting choice one can make in how one interacts with the gameworld.
