[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 9538246, member: 4534"] Red feels more like a post apocalyptic world than 2020 ever did. The economy in Red is just bizarre. This is a post apocalyptic world where new phones aren't being produced but people still have cyber limbs? When your character wants a new rifle, he can't just pop into the nearest S-Mart, he's got to find a night market. And even then his rifle won't be new. Nobody cares about new anyway because a used gun sells for just as much as a brand new gun because they're both functionally the same. A cyberleg and a drum magazine for your rifle both cost 500 eddies. How does that make any sense at all? A competent machinist can make a drum magazine in his garage if he has the right machining tools. You need a whole infrastructure to produce and maintain something like a cyberleg. Red is just a completely different vibe from both 2020 and 2077. In Red, you're making your living by picking through the bones of what was left after the 4th Corporate War. [/QUOTE]
