I had fun with the gameplay of the base game, but it is boggling they have a cyberpunk game called Cyberpunk and there's almost no cyberpunk in any of the narrative.

MODERATORS
a youtuber i watched occasionally put it pretty well, "some cyber, no punk"
I've heard it called "boomerpunk" before, where it's what aging cishet men think the cool cyberfuture looks like, without anything that makes them feel uncomfortable and where the political status quo is conspicuously the eternal post-Soviet 90s.
they have a shit imagination lol
shadowrun >>>>>>>> cyberpunk 2077
The tabletop players that I knew that hated the "politically correct shit" (that was what it was called at the time) in Shadowrun, particularly the fact that the First Nations got some cool magic and drove off the colonials at last, and that ranted that magic was "stupid" and wanted "just the cyberpunk" in some special custom campaign they wanted me to run all universally became full blown turbo chuds and I'm sure they enjoy the nonpolitical CDPR treats today.
i would beat them to death with the second edition rulebook
Just pour the giant pile of 6 sided dice into a pillowcase and start swinging.

hire some dudes from reddit to write this
The original game introduces the Keanu Reaves cameo by having the player go le epic john wick right after a cutscene where he put a feeemale in her place.
This game was always written by redditors. At least amazeballs is so harmless it's almost cute.

They took the Enlightened Centrist "not all cops are bastards" and "improving society somewhat is naive and probably evil and hypocritical like Keanu Reeves' character, but if you want to Become A Legend Of Night City(tm) and have le sexy sex, we got you covered" cyberpunkerinos and made it more Enlightened Centrist?
I'm glad I stayed away.
I watched a video with the "lore designer" or whatever and I don't think you could find a more wet cardboard like liberal. The whole game boils down to liberal individualism. But my katana goes slash and I wear cool clothes so idk it evened out for me.
They did make Keanu's character say he was once a cop already tho. It made no sense lol
The whole game boils down to liberal individualism.
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(tm): "not everything has to be a sermon or have a message! Let people enjoy things!" 
No message except the already accepted and unexamined message.
"not everything has to be a sermon or have a message! Let people enjoy things!"
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(tm)) instead.
PiS voters
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.

CDPR are clearly fuckos.
to be fair, they're polish.
Isn't his character's whole early backstory that he was a troop who deserted so hard he made deserting cool?
he literally committed based terrorism idk why they're trying to make him a cop

watched the new ending they added on youtube and gotta say, it's honestly pretty funny:
i'll keep saying that raiding the tower with Johnny is the best ending spoiler
you do a job for the cyber cia and they remove the relic, you're in a coma for 2 years, lose everyone and you can't use cool implants anymore. you go back to night city and everyone has both literally and figuratively moved on. in the end you become a face in the crowd, a literal npc, and the cia-man phones you up and asks if you wanna join the feds to do some pencil pushing in the credits
anyway the ukrainian localisation apparentely pokes fun at russians and praises ukraine which seems to be par for the course for 
.
edit: lmao "CD Projekt apologise for Cyberpunk 2077 Ukrainian script's potentially "offensive" references to Russians " 
atleast stand by your shit, you polish fucks
"Juxtaposed are the Ukrainian coat of arms and taraq tamga (the symbol of Crimean Tatars)." The suggestion is that in Cyberpunk 2077’s world, Crimea is part of Ukraine.
In the world of Cyberpunk, the USSR still exists. Good fact-checking, whoever wrote this.
I'm not gonna look up the ending just yet, so thanks for the spoiler tag.
i'll keep saying that raiding the tower with Johnny is the best ending
I did this but then
spoiler
I gave my body to Johnny and had to do the stupid quest giving that kid a guitar. I wanted to see behind the Blackwall or whatever, but no, time for the most boring quest possible. I've always meant to re do it and choose the other option, but just couldn't be bothered.
concerning your spoiler
if you excise johnny you get the "Sun" ending, you have all the money, you own Afterlife now and the game ends with you starting a heist on the space station casino. you do only have 6 months to live, and i think all your romances end because you're too focused on trying to fix the relic issue, but eh.
I already didn't like CDPR's cyberpunkerinos, but I'm still surprised, even startled, by just how bad the Enlightened Centrist 
and 
is in your summary.
BUT THERE'S NEON AND 
SO LET PEOPLE ENJOY THINGS EXCEPT YOU CAN'T ENJOY CRITICISM 
Does the Polish version not do that?
The anime was good, at least.
Edgerunners was so good it gaslit people into thinking 2077 was a good game.
This franchise could have been so fucking good if it were in the hands of communists like Trigger's team

Yeah I enjoyed it but I'm not a big anime fan
I refunded after about half an hour. Game still buggy as shit jankfest that just feels bad to play. Performance sucks along with muddy blurred visuals with constant artifacts in motion.
So much marketing around this and its the same exact crap i played at release.
Hey at least they fixed the cops i guess.
Is there something more cyberpunk than being a cop? What a pile of dogshit.
I stand firm in my conviction that I was completely justified never thinking about this game again after finishing the main story.
You're surprised that this game has poor writing?
Love that we got the old posts back
