[QUOTE="barasawa, post: 7782886, member: 44909"] Representation: We've seen almost nothing of the game, and that's just something in the background people are spazzing about. People do this now: Ok, and it's disliked. But you aren't supposed to like the cyberpunk corps, so why would anyone expect them to be any different, they should be even worse at it if they think it'll get them and dosh at all. Real world expectations of play nice aren't going to exist in cyberpunk, and they shouldn't. Anyone upset by that is in a whole different fictional world. Not saying that at you, but it's directed at those complaining about bad guys in a fictional game doing bad things. Past Track Record: Don't know, and I don't pin much in the way of expecting much out of producers for anything these days. But all I can recall is some poorly made comments, though I also feel the outrage about them were overblown far too much. But that's just my opinion, if that's the track record you were talking about. Soulless Corporation: Well a soulless corporation would be better acquainted with soulless corporations activities I guess. To be honest, pretty much all game dev is awful in how they treat, abuse, and throw away the talent. If you aren't one of those very rare and unbelievably luck star programmers, you get treated pretty awful at most companies making games. As to satirizing soulless corporations, I don't think cyberpunk ever intended the corporations in the settings to be any kind of satire. Commentary on the evils of runaway corporate capitalism certainly, but not satire. Modifying your body destroys your humanity: Like it or not, it's been one of the keystones of cyberpunk since it's inception. Cyberpsychosis is part and parcel with the setting. You might play it: I intend to, but it's going to be a while since I have to get my desktop fixed first. This laptop is barely able to handle the web, it sure can't play any decent games. I hope it's good, but if you're worried (so am I), wait for the reviews from people you know have the same tastes as you. As to those complaining about the things in the cyberpunk setting, they probably shouldn't play it. If they made it cyberpunk, it's a dirty, nasty, corporate dystopia where people are cheap and disposable, and cybernetics ubiquitous, both among the downtrodden masses and the ultrapowerful rich elites. I'm lousy at describing things, and I don't think I really made the point clear on cyberpunk, but at least I tried. B-) [/QUOTE]
