Less people randomly walking in every direction and more people just randomly sitting on broken down cardboard boxes.

Cyberpunk 2077's Cyberpunk was entirely aesthetic. I have zero faith in the devs being able to actually address those issues in a meaningful way.

Which is a shame because the genera's whole purpose was to criticize how capitalism would subvert potentially utopian technologies to make everything worse.

Wait, I thought there wasn't going to be a sequel? Did I miss something?

[–] schizo@forum.uncomfortable.business 5 points 4 months ago

Sequel yes, more DLC for the first one, no.

I’m excited to hear they’re making a sequel. I hope they will project manage this one better, match the ambition to the reality, give it the resources it needs when it needs them and not rush it out the gate.
