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.
That’s the usual pushback I got when calling out copaganda, capitalist realism, or just outright plot rails fatalism where nothing matters but Becoming A Legend Of Night City™: “not everything has to be a sermon or have a message! Let people enjoy things!”
No message except the already accepted and unexamined message.
It’s Cyber PUNK. If anything is supposed to have a sermon or message it’s this fucking genre.
This is what happens when the studio making the damn thing is all PiS voters.
Trigger took this IP and made something that absolutely fucking rocks in Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. CDPR wrote absolute dogshit with it, twice. Trigger is a studio full of commies whereas CDPR are clearly fuckos.
CDPR has the exact kind of regressive reactionary Enlightened Centrist “nonpolitical” politics that Redditors have, so of course Redditors shoot thick hot ropes every time a CDPR game says caring about improving society somewhat is naive and stupid, actually, and to just go have le sexy sex and indulge in self-absorbed dudebro power fantasies (dae le Witcherino code and/or Become A Legend Of Night City™) instead.
I’m not sure who these are exactly. Could you explain that before @Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net starts cackling?
They’re like Le Pen in France but in Poland and considerably more mainstream.
