Here's your "dystopia" bro
>>
>>729859225
Idk if you could call it better just because they have some more comfort tech and slop. Remember that in CP you can literally not traverse the oceans because of self replicating android mines, assassinations are a daily occurrence, people only really can afford synth slop meat from worms, healthcare is exclusive to the upper middleclass, AGI is lurking in every network on the planet constantly threatening to catapult you into the stone age and kill billions, brain hacking is legit possible and used by unknown actors, every human around you is a ticking timebomb waiting to go cyberpsycho. Granting, Europe looks kijda decent in the Universe like an actual Utopia.

Try to understand how hard it is to make the future look worse than the present. Even Cyberpunk doesn't have dads losing custody because the mom brainwashed their son to castrate himself as revenge for the dad being emotionally unavailable.

and how common is this hypothetical scenario which you just created to justify your victimhood complex?

I imagine it's the level of care and the competency involved. Isn't there a sidequest that has some stolen drugs that don't work?
I awlays saw it as, although you have ripperdocs down every road, the job they do might be a bit rough.

Dystopia is the natural order. The meaning of life is to amass as much power as possible and use it to inflict suffering upon as many people as possible. This world was only ever meant to be a playground for rich, powerful, sociopathic sadists. They are the only real people and the rest of us exist to be their playthings.

They do but canonically they're more like Fingers, shady and cheap mostly dealing with old and second hand implants. Remember that V got the premium treatment and is fucking rich in the game. Even the basic Kiroshi optics at the start are near unaffordable by normal people.

Oh no, the ultimate goal is basically to torture the entire world to death.

Whoever kills the world first wins.

That was just a bluff to make the meat think they're safe. You don't get that pointless, petty, spiteful destruction for its own sake is the purest form of evil. There is no greater pleasure than deliberately ruining something good for everyone just because you can. You need to graduate from cutting off your nose to spite your face to cutting your head and limbs off to spite your body. You need to voluntarily surrender your sanity and sapience and become a howling, snarling, cackling embodiment of pure sadism. Otherwise, you're weak, and you won't get to be the one who kills the world.

CP77 is dystopian as fuck.
MASS Violence occurs regularly, forget living pay check to paycheck people live day by fucking DAY, Cyberware is required to live any sort of decent life while not being cheap,citizens are regularly organ harvested and the rich really can just treat the poor like cattle.

The life we live today isnt great but it beats the piss out of that nightmare. Hell our life in general is better than Cyberpunk still. There was a game I saw one time about how people had to give up their bodies using Cyberpunk as a backdrop for it. We arent even close to being that bad.
Fuck with Spiderman and you fuck with all of us still applies today hence ICE

don't forget the mass murders are so big they made a lottery out of guessing how many people died the day before

That's what they say until you point a gun at them, then suddenly they're all "muh justice" and "muh human rights" again

New York had something like 940 gun deaths past year. Night City had 30/day according to intro. So Night City gets as many gun-related deaths in a month as New York gets in a year. High numbers sure, but quite a bit less than I thought considering all the open firefights, turf wars, cyberpsychos and so on.

Yes. Night City is a dystopia according to 1980s values. They never knew how much worse the real world could really become.

Not really. The devs didn't dare to go all out and went with a bland "dystopia" where life is sort of hard for most people.

That doesn't make sense demographics wise. Nobody would be left alive to work and make the city sustainable let alone profitable. Detroit is a collapsed post apocalypse shithole with less violence.

In the game they also said birth rates are down the shitter as well, but Night City keeps growing due to huge influx of people moving in. Where from and why is a good question though.
>>
>>729860019
I don't think that happens in real life either.
>>
>>729859225
Because the game, despite its impressive 200 hour 100% runtime, never touches on the economic/societal impact of transhumanism. Even DXHR in 2010 covered that topic way better. You walk past an apartment and can hear through the door a couple fighting. They both got implants because it seemed like a good idea. Now they can't afford the payments for the implants anymore, the drugs are killing them and the cold, mechanical feel of the implants are a huge turn off. But they also can't reverse the procedure so now they are trapped in bodies they hate on the brink of bankruptcy.

>sort of hard
Life in CP2077 (as portrayed in the game) is not just "sort of hard", but pretty fucking impossible for anyone who wants to live a "normal" life by today's standards (like having a regular job, starting a family, raising kids etc).
If your idea of a good life trajectory is doing petty crime until you can afford some basic bitch chrome, then becoming either a merc or a gangbanger until you get your brains blown out or fried by ICE at the ripe old age of 26, then yeah - it's probably an ok place, all things considered.

A collective artificial intelligence has taken over every old online connection for a long time, now anyone who connects to it and has electronic components implanted in their body can end up like a zombie.
Illegal implants or modifications can kill you, make you go berserk, make you loose your identity or rot your body.
Corporations control the government and can start wars among themselves whenever they want.
Police suggest you to have loaded guns at all times, to not travel alone outside of the city if you want to stay alive, they also have the authority to search inside your house or apartment at any moment, take whatever they want as "evidence" and kill you if you complain about.
Also you cant have any medical service unless youre secured by Trauma Team, a medical service trained to use lethal force if neccesary.

These fantasy dystopias come with the promise of advancement in pleasure for everybody at the cost of everything else getting shit. There's always some easy crime "out" to survive because the cops don't care about anything short of extreme violence or protecting corporations.

What we have is everything just getting shit with no tangible gains. You can't get cool cyber-arms and legs, you can't virtually explore the internet, you can't be a cyber-furry getting dicked for easy cash. Everything you have is just the same shit from twenty years ago but a little more streamlined.

It's always like that because people who write it don't realize that there's already people in the world suffering from what they think is some dystopic future malady
Like it's kind of funny how K is supposed to live such an awful and lonely life that he has only an AI girl to keep him company and I'm supposed to pity him, while we don't even have that, and I'd consider it a blessing to have it. They wanted to honestly portray genuine misery of a life of a lonely man and it still doesn't match the truth of mundane reality

It's hard to make an actual experience of a cyberpunk game, because it would just be you as a poor loser who owns nothing. You have no implants, you eat synthetic gruel, you have chronic lung issues because of the smog, and you work in random gigs so you can lower your rate of debt increase. Then random rich people would run around in titanium bodies, leaping over buildings shouting "problem, choom?" When you get arrested for loitering, the contracted law enforcer who was on his way home from his chef gig is named Bill Board, and you can't hear anything he says over the Samsung advertisements his implants play.
It is just not fun.
