2·3 years agoEh CTH itself has flirted with blaming the problems of the left on those pesky Ess Jay Dubyas and their intersectionality. They’re closer to their fellow brooklyn do-nothing political infotainers than they are to what was the subreddit.
Which is why they hated the sub, and why we’d always joke that :citations-needed: was the sub’s official podcast.
5·4 years agoMaybe I just didn’t play far enough in the story, but I got a distinct liberal bothsides vibe with ‘unrestricted capitalism bad’, but leftists are terrorists.
Just a hunch, but I’m guessing there’s no deus ex twist at the end where the terrorists are false flags.
Too bad I won’t find out, I was enjoying it until the le epic keanu moment has soured me on AAA games entirely.
Also their ussr ain’t even socdem. It’s a neoliberal trade cartel exactly like the eu is today.
I read it. The UK has the NHS that doesn’t mean they’re still not a neoliberal shithole.
That lore entry was designed to be absolutely devoured by left twitter but the actual lore is lib shit. Especially in the context of the genre, it’s thoroughly reactionary.
Lol yep that’s exactly where I quit. Was whining about it in the megathread last night and this morning
Playing the original deus ex now instead

The dialogue is abysmal, he’s a terrible antihero and they had his nonsensical anti-capitalist terrorist character come from a grunge band in a fucking cyberPUNK game. Noted anti-capitalist genre grunge rock, in 2023.
Also that 10 minutes of john wick sim in the interlude is some of the worst gameplay I’ve ever experienced in any video game I’ve ever played.
My take is the designers watched the press F to pay respects scene in cod and asked themselves how they could do something that banal but stretch it into an hour of gameplay.
Btw the rest of the story will be about him. The narrative arc feels pretty much lifted straight from a deus ex game and that’s how they usually flow.
The le epic keanu moment got me to put it down. I had low expectations and it was worse than that
Once again commenting to point out that cyberpunk’s ‘USSR’ is an EU-style capital cartel that formed after the soviet union.
Idk 100%. But he excommunicated Romero or at least the more radical liberation thoelogians (Romero was a moderate), and in general did whatever he could to signal to the contras and those like them that Rome had their back.
JP2 was a fascist POS.
