  • Good. I heard this version was pretty faithful to the original and did not opt to censor anything from the original.

    That is how games that are remastered or remade should be done: as faithful as possible to the original with the absolute minimal changes necessary.

    If developers want to have a remade story that makes a lot of changes, then include it as an alternate mode. As long as the original is faithfully recreated, I have no problem trying out a new way to play. But only including the new way to play rubs me the wrong way. Its like someone in development said “I know better than the original team, and my ‘better’ version is the only one people will get to play.” I steer clear of those.

    Resident Evil Deadly Silence did this, where it had its own “Rebirth Mode,” along with “Classic Mode.” Literally all remakes and remasters should have this.

    Thats fine, not every game is designed for every person that plays it to enjoy it. Its just not the kind of game for you.

    Anyone that tells you to play it more is gaslighting due to Sunk Cost Fallacy. The experience late game is more or less the same as early game. The biggest difference being that you have stronger gear and can do more, just like any other game with progression. But the main gameplay and game loop remain the same, so if you aren’t enjoying that early on, you probably aren’t going to enjoy it later either.













  • Isn’t one of the main founding pillars of the entire cyberpunk genre to teach the lesson that big monopolistic megacorps and an over-reliance on technology is a bad thing? Like, the story is to show how bad life would be under those circumstances, so you have technology that advances, and the law with it, but regular citizens cannot afford the new tech so they have to cobble it together themselves from the old tech they have in order to comply with the law set by the BBEG megacorp?

    How do you have a cyberpunk society without all the bad parts? Such a society would have citizens that can afford or are provided new tech and thus the cyberpunk aspect would naturally not exist, would it not?
