I don’t claim to know much about this but I guess it pulled a No Man’s Sky and patched in everything that needed to be fixed or added. And it’s half off on steam right now so I’m considering pulling the trigger. Should I?

    Also almost all Characters are huge assholes that constantly make the worst possible decisions possible, while the game tries to sell them as cool and badass.

      Yeah, sometimes it feels as if what the developers (well, the writers to be fair) want to say is “look how cool this world is”. Or at the very least as if they wrote the game without subtext or thematic coherence: again, as if they produced a game that’s still in its preproduction stage

        I think some of it comes from their earlier games. The Witcher games also have some really edgy dialogue, it is one of the reasons I never finished the second game. But they are also adapting an old ttrpg and the tone and themes of that game is shining throug. Which would not be a problem if Cyberpunk 2020 (and most cyberpunk media today) was not stuck in the 80s as much and someone actually bothered to update the themes for today.

          This is something I almost never see discussed, but it’s probably what made me tired of cyberpunk stuff. It became a parody and a part of what it was supposed to criticize
