Does anyone else feel like Cyberpunk could've used a bit more body horror? I found David attached to the cyberskeleton continually drugging him to keep him somewhat sane with his limbs and penis cut off scarier than Adam Smasher or the Maelstromers like Dum Dum and their /mu/tard leader. Maybe they're saving it for the sequel about rogue AIs. Recommended me games with this kind of body horror if you know any.
>>736958195Play Cruelty Squad.
>>736958195>and penis cut offHe's still got it, its just in the Militech Ultra Suck 8050. It was made for frontline Panzerboys in the most fucked up theaters to relieve stress and improve morale. It's female counter part was simply known as "The Clitinator".
>>736958195Yeah they definitely toned down the amount of gore and body horror you would find in the tabletop which is about as brutal as you want it to be especially anything having to do with scavs. As for decent body horror in a sci fi game Dead Space is pretty much the peak still >>736958309Cruelty Squad is more of a dark comedy than horror based
>>736958838Nope, no penis though I suppose he could've gotten a cyberpenis if he survived.
>>736958195Why is his face and chest exposed? Poor design if you ask me.
>>736959364It was a prototype.
>>736959170Is there anything even left of "human" david? 99% of him is artificial and even his brain has implants
>>736959364Nice, did you just draw that? Looks too good to be AI.
>>736959364At this point you may as well just use the AMP suit from Avatar.
>>736959571His heart and soul
>>736959848Yeah. I like to do image edits since it's more fun and easy to draw onto something that already exists than to start from scratch >>736959996I haven't played cyber but I've never heard of any mechs. Isn't the game supposed to tackle the philosophical question of when man becomes machine?>>736959170Do you think David got a bigger cock when he was modding himself?
>>736958195I think only the 2nd part of the intro mission really had any, Where that one gang is butchering people for their cybernetics.
>>736959170makes me wonder if reproduction is a problem, i imagine replacing something like your dick is not really that insane considering that 1)everyone probably does it and 2)in a dangerous world, such a fragile thing can be a weakness
>>736960238Every once and a while you fight cool enemies in armored walkers or a construction site cyberpsycho in an exosuit used for building. It's a shame because 2020 had awesome mecha inspired by Bubblegum Crisis and VOTOMs.
>>736958878>Cruelty Squad is more of a dark comedy than horror basedKinda agree, I think it's more of a parody of the US turned up to 11, it's very conspiracy theory heavy. Police Cults/Brotherhoods, killing CEOs and public figures for slightly bettering communities, Eyes wide shut parties, tragedies being staged for blood sacrifices, etc. I don't know about Psycho Patrol R since I'm not tuned into EU politics.
>>736958195Retarded design
>>736960563Shouldn't be if you only replace the shaft and don't mess with the balls. Night City slickers probably prefer electric furbabies to children anyway.
>>736960238>Do you think David got a bigger cock when he was modding himself?Considering half the shit he did was to impress Lucy, depends on if she was a size queen.
>>736958195SOMA I quite enjoyed. Definitely a different genre than 2077, though.
>>736960238Well done Anon.
>>736960238>Isn't the game supposed to tackle the philosophical question of when man becomes machine?They touch on the concept of Cyberpsychosis, a mental disorder that happened if you used too many cybernetics. It might be linked to the human soul, though their in-game technology is not advanced enough to confirm this. imho it bears some resemblance to the idea of a "ghost" in Ghost in the Shell.
>>736962569In the TTRPG it's linked to your humanity stat. Which is more about empathy, compassion, and the ability to deal with stress.
>>736962569Humanity itself is more akin to what you have in life to help you hold onto yourself as much as literally how much of you is left. Humanity is positively benefitted by loving relationships and community as well as positive mental health, as cyberpsychosis is most directly based off of steroid and drug abuse and the affect that having or not having support is shown to have on a person.
>>736960563it's definitely a thing, there's a whole quest about some retard with a malfunctioning cyberdick
>>736958195kind of hard to see the horror in something when it looks so comical
>>736959443Prototype for what? Adam Smasher already exists, what's a drugged out giant robotard supposed to achieve?
>>736964904They wanted a more controllable retard/backup
>>736959571No, that's the point of the story - he's just a junkie with a higher level of tolerance who convinced himself he's hot shit.It's basically a massive deconstruction of your typical shounen anime.
>>736958195Dreadnoughts from Warhammer.
>>736962569>CyberpsychosisCyberpsychosis is a great concept that I think could be drawn on much more. It essentially comes down to willpower and detachment from what a human is. Adam Smasher doesn't experience cyberpsychosis because he never saw himself as human to begin with, there's no human tendency or sanity in there to violently spasm due to the cybernetics to begin with.There are also cybernetics that tend to cause psychosis more often, experimental army mods akin to the drugs they give our real life soldiers that can cause horrific mental and bodily defects later in life.
sandevistan is stupid because air pressure and gravity are constant but it was shown that he jumped over someone and landed in 0.01s. they could've mended this situation by making him jump between walls to do that. but you'd still need to include skeleton enhancements or you'd crumple from the 100x forces on your muscles and bones.
>>736958195Test
>>736958195Not a fan of the cyberskeletonWhy bother replacing parts of yourself when it's large enough that it could have just been an exosuit you step into
>>736958878>Cruelty Squad is more of a dark comedy than horror basedCyberpunk and dark comedy/parody literally go hand-in-hand. If you don’t lower the bar to a point where the world has clown world antics than you are doing it wrong.

>>736965859I thought it was fake and a psyop to make sure people dont become afraid of chroming themselves- The manifscturers run propaganda to blame the individual entirely and the parts are never at fault for any violence. When i played the game it was pretty clear the cyberpsychos were pushed to the edge by life circumstances and it wasnt simply the fact they had too much chrome. One of them was literally sold to Maelstrom or something by her jealous sister who stole her husband- then came to the set of some shit they were filming and killed everyone there after she was forcibly disfiguredOf course Pondsmith came out and said "No its real, it haooens when your humanity dips too low" and i csnt tell if hes just relegating it to a mental health status effect or if my assumptions are still valid and its just a name an augmented killer is labeled instead of a real psychological phenomena that only affects chromeheads
>>736965932Anon that was the first point he was shown to actually have those enhancements. His feet activate and he jumps clean over the guy and reveals he also has a Ballistic Launcher in his arm. Who knows how much he actually weighs at that point
>>736966264>clown worldI know of that first hand! Whoa, our life's so cyberpunk rn.>>736958195Who made him like this?
>>736969496well there is a psyop by the manufacturers to downplay how much mental health care affects your tolerance, mostly because that means people would chrome up less and instead spend part of their chrome budget on actual treatments
>>736964904Smasher is one of a kind
>>736970623>Who made him like this?Glowniggers and oneitis.
>>736958195that's all the scav and maelstrom missions, they should've further developed the plotline with the blood sacrifices
>>736958309>COM98 if it existed
>>736964548kek
