Livin' that Ms. Pacman life.

@bicycleham said: The problems I had with Cyberpunk were only compounded by the bugs and glitches, they're not things that can be solved unless this game went back in the oven for another year and a ...

@humanity said: @ragnar_mike: I agree that the posters and generally the “fake advertising” of this world is a huge detriment and actively works against it. Literally anything else would be an improv...

I'm mostly just offended by the content of this game in the sense that it's all incredibly reductive. There's an incredible place in this IP for discussions of body image and intersectionality and tra...

101 The Dirge was my jam. I'm all about that dystopian, grimy, hip hop. Granted, a good chunk of them are just...braggadocio, but there's some bangers in there. Especially when I'm redlining a crotchr...

@bigsocrates: Yep, I absolutely agree. =)

@bigsocrates: That's fair. Maybe Fallout was a poor choice. I think in my head I meant that even if the basic framework is like a Fallout games, but the depth isn't there. And not even just the amount...

I'm mostly in line with Jeff's thoughts with the game at this point, which is strange because usually we rather diverge on RPG games. But I think that is largely because Cyberpunk doesn't know what it...

@mezza: No worries, I was being a bit obtuse.

@slaughts: Yeap, that sounds about right to me. It's a double edged sword, because to a certain extent speaking with your wallet effects some things, but the way CDPR is set up it will adversely effec...

@drbroel: That is definitely a fair point. Expectations play a huge role in all of this. I've never been much for the truly experimental genre works beyond just an appreciation for the rule breaking a...

@drbroel: I dunno if I'd say revenge, self destructive behaviors, and forgiveness are any more complex than grief, abandonment issues, and selfishness. Both games have weighty, dramatic themes that pl...

@nodima: Yep. It's one of those weird things about telling any kind of story. How, when, and why you reveal information is just as important (if not more than) as who and what.

@drbroel: True, I'm kinda leaning more on Abbie's arc here since its the more explored one. I think what I was trying to say is that choosing to disregard or ignore what keeps you grounded and human (...

@drbroel: After everything I've seen and heard, I wouldn't be surprised if it's just a very straightforward analogy that interpersonal connections are what keep us grounded and that cutting those ties...

@shindig said: From the limited reading I've done, I get the sense this is a dark middle chapter. Think back to how The Last of Us was. Think what a dark middle chapter would look like. Bleak.It woul...

I will certainly at least check out the pilot to see how the acting, tone, and production is. Its a fairly sturdy setting/trope for a season of television and I like the people who are involved that ...
