Is edgerunners /m/?
No idea never heard, looks bad. Totally Spies is prolly more /m/ than it.
>>23929944Fuck off
>>23929944
yes
The thing they fuse his body to at the end is a kind of exo-suit so yeah I guess.
>>23930080at that point his body is already like 80 percent chrome tbf
>>23930080The game really sucks ass when it comes to typical /m/shit. I get cyborgs are /m/ but fuck it never gets anything as cool as going full chrome
>>23930080How the fuck does he even reload without outside assistance?
>>23930100Those are guns he picks up from some grunt soldiers he killed.>>23930087I don't know the full lore of the game but something like Appleseed's landmates would be sick
>>23930087I really do wish Cyberpsychosis was an actual mechanic in game as opposed to just having V cackle like a witch when a specific ability procs. But I also don't know how it could be represented properly without feeling like total shit for the player.>>23930104They don't show up in recent Cyberpunk media, but the old editions did have something called ACPAs which are essentially Landmates.
>>23929973Jesus fuck off tourist
>>23929944Idk OP, is this /m/?
>>23929944Edgerunners is trash that's spammed by paid shills in turd-world shitholes. We're going to have to endure more of your faggotry now that netflix is trying to hype up a new season, aren't we?
>>23930367go back
>>23930367Holy fukkin UNC. Just go die in a ditch alone and unloved by anything
>>23930384>>23930385How much are they paying you? Seventeen cents per day? I hear that's a fortune to people in your mud huts.
>>23930389Schizophrenia is one hell of a drug
>>23930399Twenty-five cents, you say? That's amazing!
>>23929944thought it was gonna be slop and ended up really liking it
>>23930508The color scheme is awful thats why the posters look like shit
>>23929944Cyberpunk in general is /m/ out of Kamen Rider logic; you usually play as cyborgs with illegal enhancements.
>>23930512Kamen rider was never /m/. Same with kaijus and ultraman
SO WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO
>>23930513>kaijusWhat about Mecha Godzilla and Mecha Ghidorah?
>>23929944Yes this isn't even a question.
>>23930513>Kamen Rider was never /m/.You have no leg to stand on, and you will always be wrong.
>>23931616Thats ok
>>23931746Damn i think I caught astigmatism by just opening the picture. Get better pics asshole
>>23929944It's trash, just like all the other childish meme shows from the cartoon studio.
>>23929973First post got it right. Well done /m/.
all i remember from this trash was horrible cgi and rushed emotional scenes that fell flat
>>23932006>It's trashBut enough about yourself.
>>23929973First post got it wrong. Well done /m/.
>>23932017>maldingkek
>>23932022>>23932017cry more
>>23932025>>23932028Wipe your tears first then say it again.

>>23932033Really earning those pennies today, eh shill-kun?
>>23930157If it were a generic Cyberpunk scenario I would agree. Cyberpsychosis doesn't make sense for V's story because V is specifically dealing with being neurally overwritten by Johnny Silverhand's engram. The entire point of the story is how you deal with that inevitability. You can play the videogame forever if you never take that elevator ride to meet Hanako, but the story timeline is just a couple of weeks.
>>23931893Here shithead>>23932113
>>23932046>leon the professional referenceHey that’s all right
>>23930321No faggot
>>23930321Yes chad
>>23930100The guns aren't attached, you can see fingers holding them. He just stops posing and puts one down to reload like normal. Hell, with enough range of motion the lower hand could reload while each upper hand holds the gun
>>23932125Yeah the open world kinda clashes with the story being on such a short timeframe, that and the fact your character never really changes enough to express just how much chrome you shove into them.
>>23932531>Yeah the open world kinda clashes with the story being on such a short timeframethey accurately adapted the experience of the R. Talsorian scenarios from the TTRPG
>>23932003Care to provide us with a more in-depth critique of its flaws?
>>23934217Bot post.
>>23929944>Is edgerunners /m/?No. Man I wish I hadn't made the mistake of watching that dumpsterfire.
>>23935278>Its bad therefore its not /m/Troon seethe
>>23935352>i want to drag down the overall quality of the board by having shit herethis is why we get called /m/orons
>>23929944no
>>23935399You are the reason for that retard
>>23935399Nobody cares enough about /m/ to make derogatory nicknames about us. You’re literally self flagellating at this point
>>23929944Yeah but I'm still waiting on a Mekton game.It along with the third Heavy Gear game announced would usher in an age of Tabletop Mecha vidya ludo.
There are people who call themselves Cyberpunk 2077 fans and yet have only seen the anime.
>>23930321I would think so, considering the head skin and brain are probably the only organic parts left
I cannot decide which one I want to look like more
>>23935420Rider community said yes.
>>23936182Rider isn't /m/ either
>>23935733Get a full body job and change your chassis to whichever you feel like that day, obviously.
>>23936234Oh damn, right.Why is cyberpunk supposed to be dystopian again?
>>23936257there's some aches and pains but knowing my arm is factory rated up to six hundred pounds is pretty fucking great
>>23936193>Rider isn't /m/ eitherHow bout no.
>>23936269How long have you had that?
>>23936257>Why is cyberpunk supposed to be dystopian again?Because you can't afford any of the cool stuff like that unless you're mega rich, a corpo lackey, or a high stakes criminal. Normal people can only get stuff like that with monkey's paw results.That's the "punk" part of cyberpunk.
>>23936582>Normal people can only get stuff like that with monkey's paw results.Basically imagine the tech exists but it's built by original SecuROM or GFWL.
>>23936257because even tho they live objective better lives than most humans today they uhh.... have uhh... advertisements and neon signs and advanced miracle tier prosthetics or somethingits an aesthetic hijacked by people who really have no love for sci fi and nothing to say
>>23936582meh, no monkey's paw is bad enough if this is the positive part>>23936755that doesn't seem very accurate, anon
>>23930030Rebecca looks ugly af in the show. This artwork looks ok but it really romanticizes her. Thankfully she got killed by Adam Smasher at the end of season 1, so I won't have to see her ugly face anymore. I wouldn't have minded her if Trigger had used an artstyle like this.
>>23936755kek its always just been complaining and vibes from privileged faggots
>>23937046>he doesn't know
>>23937046harlequin baby down
>>23937065>concept artShe looked even shittier here.
>>23936285>some faggot in a plastic suitIt isn't.
>>23937193>Some faggot with a neckbeardCry some more.
>>23937225Jesus christ, it's like a fisher-price factory exploded or something. There are actual adults that think this looks good?
>>23929944If GITS and Bubblegum Crisis is /m/, then edgerunners is /m/ too.
>>23937241Since when were such shows targeted at adults?
>>23937512They're not, but you must be 18 or older to post here.
>>23929944>triggertrash
>>23937264Um GITS isnt /m/
>>23937707Based. If GitS is /m/ then people with prosthetics are /m/
>>23937707
>>23937557I didn't realize such shows were exclusive to this site.
>>23929944Edgerunners is a 3dcg dumpsterfire.
>>23930516The body exploding animation looks pretty terrible. I didn't like how they animated the smoke or the flesh. Maine's scenes were never very good, I recall there being lots of sliding stills and cheap animation during his final fight where he commits suicide by explosion on episode 6.
>>23929944no lmaops: the show was shit
>>23929944yes lmaops: the show was great
>>23938407LOL WUT
>>23937707>>23937738>What is cybernetics?
>>23935733I don't remember making this post.
>>23936755There's plenty about the setting that genuinely sucks. But one thing I never see talked about is how for a "dystopia" it's honestly not that bad. Night City is anarchic but there's advantages to that too. Upward mobility is rare but it definitely happens. There's no centralized control or surveillance. You can fuck with the powers that be and as long as you get away you can just disappear into the crowd. Implants are cool and at least somewhat affordable. Hookers, drugs, and guns are things anyone can get. There's anarchy but freedom too.A real life dystopia is more likely to be boring monotony with a background of quiet paranoia. Your every move and word will be monitored. You won't be allowed to even criticize your rulers, much less make moves against them. You won't even be able to bond over hating the system with others, because they'll report any disloyalty to save their own skins. Even if you're a loyal citizen you might get carted off to a gulag anyway because somebody wanted your position/house/belongings. If we end up in a dystopia you had better hope it's as good as Cyberpunk.
>>23940455The freedom people have in a cyberpunk dystopia is merely the indifference of the ruling class toward the general details of the masses existence. The population at large is a finite resource the corporations are competing to control. You matter at varying levels as a customer, a client, or an employee. Relative safety is the gap between having something a corporation would rather seize by force and not having anything the corporations want at all.In nationalist paradigms there is a nation whose well-being is protected against outsiders. Cyberpunk dystopias replace or override national organization with a detente between competing commercial powers, with a vestigial civic power allowed to exist as long as it minds its own business or otherwise plays ball, eventually just being another battleground for the corporate control. A fascist or communist dystopia would the opposite: a unitary government forcing all commercial interests into subservient positions within the state, with the only difference being the ideological distinctions of in-group/out-group (labor versus capitalist, or preferred ethnic/religious group versus everyone else.)Cyberpunk dystopias are really the logical outcome of libertarian fantasy. Without a strong central authority capable of competing with commercial combines the average man is atomized by the destruction of traditional organizing and rendered powerless to enforce law or contract in his favor. All that is left is the freedom of a consumer to choose where to spend what money he can acquire, reduced to a neo-feudal status whose best hope is to be lost in the crowd and to enjoy what possessions and pastimes are safe from corporate envy, while relying on the minimal law and order that the corporations need to enforce to keep their wealth extraction schemes operating and meaningful.
>>23940455Aldous Huxley wrote an essay comparing Brave New World with 1984. His conclusion was that IN THE WEST his version of a unitary political dystopia was more likely than the Stalinist brutalism of 1984 because it was more efficient to control people through their appetites in such a way that they could not even conceive of the control that they were under. I don't know that is true for a unitary state, which would seem susceptible to purity spiral, but with commercial powers overcoming the traditional state but not one another it would seem prudent to allow the perception of freedom in order to engage the masses freely in their own wealth extraction as if the idea was their own. Service contracts, loans, subscriptions coupled with enforced obsolesence and built-in expiration. Rebellion itself is just another product, painfully evident in the quickly commercialized nature of the punk movement in real life, and at the other end of the spectrum the "patriot movement" abounds with its own grifters selling the trappings of revolution to self-styled patriots who will never do anything more radical than put a large Threeper vinyl sticker on their rear truck window.And you're fooling yourself if you think you're not constantly under surveillance. It's only going to become more dramatic as the country rushes to build data centers everywhere while the government mandates more data collection to be built in to all consumer goods and flock cameras go up on every street.
>>23940435samesies!!
>>23937707Think tanks, armored suits, Fuchikomas and Tachikomas are what make GitS /m/.
>>23940556All of this is true. Any "freedom" here is a happy accident from the powers that be having bigger concerns. However, that flawed freedom is still preferable to a total-control surveillance state. Neither are good, but in a broad survey of possible dystopias, Cyberpunk is horrifying but not as bad as some more realistic outcomes. >>23940564You're exactly right: we ARE under constant surveillance and that problem is getting worse. That's why if a dystopic system emerges, it probably won't look like pure Soviet style authoritarianism or dysfunctional Cyberpunk capitalism. It would be the worst of both worlds. The 3 major influences would be 1. Regulatory capture and the increasing political power of moneyed interests, 2. A media/cultural landscape which rewards dogmatic narratives, and 3. Increasing capacity for surveillance/control and the concentration of those powers among fewer actors with similar backgrounds. The result is that politics becomes a dog and pony show driven by culture war grifters who distract from the real problems. This is quietly supported by the ruling class, who use the distraction to even more brazenly bribe politicians and degrade/corrupt the system for their own profit. Specific extremist factions are allowed to run wild to generate outrage and attention towards the culture war narrative. But in the name of "public safety" the surveillance system ruthlessly prosecutes anyone who tries to challenge the actual ruling class. These people will lose their livelihoods and be quietly blacklisted. Economic necessity will keep people from following in their footsteps. There's no major change in flag or narrative. But the system increasingly brazenly prioritizes the few over the many. Basically what we already have but getting even worse, I think that's a more realistic outcome. Still based around economic desperation, but the bread and circus is politics, not pleasure, and you can't do anything fun because it's "irresponsible."
>>23940620Is Appleseed and Dominion also /m/? Jury is in deliberation.
>>23940820Why wouldn't they be?
>>23940854Holy SHIT is that a cool image. I wonder if there's an art book or something. Gets my 'tism a'tinglin
I found this kind of plain and aimless. Do you have to already be a fan of the IP to get it?
>>23941042I watched without playing the games, and I understood it fine. The point is that bad things happen when you go too far off the deep end in cyber modifications.
>>23941042im a fan and I found it to be kinda plain and aimless so no its not that
>>23940854It’s been around for about 28 years anon
>>23940455So…Best Korea?
>>23930157Just do it like humanity in VtMB. If it gets too low, you go on temporary involuntary killing sprees. If it goes all the way to zero, instant game over because you're too crazy to be kept alive.
>>23940814So…1984 + 1939?
>>23937707>/m/'s spoiler image is from GITS>not /m/
>>23941040>I wonder if there's an art book or something.That image appears in both Appleseed ID:https://e-hentai.org/g/2359443/817382f021/and Intron Depot 1:https://e-hentai.org/g/1092429/0a4800b955/
Wasn't there a music video for this show?
>>23941049I mean I understood it, but it felt like it was over before I was connected to the characters or invested in the setting.
>>23941358How can I click the link without the sad panda cookie on my phone?
>>23937837Wrong shade of red.
>>23940814>Neither is goodFTFY
>>23941042no it's the best thing that will ever come out of Cyberpunk™ and it's not even close
