       | supporting unlike pretty much anyone else.

       | I feel totally out of touch with all the hype around the game, in
       | particular the aesthetic choices is actually what disappointed me
       | the most. The name of the game, as well as the design to me looks
       | quite literally as if someone designed the most generic
       | 'cyberpunk' game possible.
       | 
       | It looks like the cyberpunk version of GTA, which is ironic
       | because cyberpunk is supposed to be transgressive, yet nothing
       | what I've seen about the game is surprising or going into any new
       | territory. The trailer just featured a few lines about
       | unemployment, the most dangerous city to live in, almost as if
       | someone had written a generic script you could apply to
       | everything that is cyberpunk.
       | 
       | It's a little bit like scyscrapers in Dubai, which look like
       | someone in the 90s read sci-fi from the 60s, rather than
       | futuristic it looks retro and nostalgic, missing the entire
       | point.

         | 
         | Keep in mind this game is loosely based on a 90s role playing
         | game. Sure they probably have a lot of leeway in art direction
         | but there's probably some faithfulness to the original setting
         | they want to keep (which is a little bit like skyscrapers in
         | Dubai[0]).

         | This is a refresh of the old Cyberpunk 2020 franchise. They

         | Honestly, a cyberpunk representation of the future from a
         | present-day lens doesn't interest me very much. We are living
         | that reality. It's the cyberpunk interpretations from the 90s,
         | back when computers and technology still felt promising, that I
         | want to play in.

         | A. CD Projekt Red is really good at telling stories, period.
         | 
         | B. Open world 1st person games are uncommon, especially big-
         | budget ones
         | 
         | C. The Cyberpunk style universe is pretty uncommon as well,
         | especially in real-time RPG/action games.
         | 
         | Yeah the universe is a little "standard" cyberpunk, but I think
         | this is good simply because the standard view of this universe
         | is very under-represented, and there is a lot of room to tell
         | some very interesting stories in a real-time format.

         | You probably feel that way because the tabletop game that CD
         | Projekt's game is based off of kind of defined the genre.
         | 
         | Calling Cyberpunk cliche is like calling Lord of the Rings
         | cliche; it makes no sense because they invented the cliches.
