>Corporations are... Le bad!Ok but WHY?
>having a big nigger dick with AIDS shoved up my ass is ... LE bad!Ok but WHY?
>>743396537Well in Cyberpunk it's mostly because the corporate deathsquads gunning people down in the streets and slaughtering civilians constantly
>>743396694>deathsquads gunning people down in the streets and slaughtering civilians constantlyI'm not seeing this, gangbanging niggers, on the other hand...
>>743396537>Political brained retards always retort with, "CORPORATIONS ARE BAD!!!">Ignore all the other philosophical themes pertained in Cyberpunk 2077>They do this to other Cyberpunk themed mediaAre political nerds really this dumb?
arasaka is led by japanese people. that's anti-semitic
>>743396537Complete corporate control causes a further class divide. Money is severely cut and profited off the work from others causing the ones on top to hoard the wealth.
>>743396694as opposed to modern governments with death squads slaughtering civilians constantly.. but if you're a normie you ignore all current events and believe all bad things ended when ww2 was over
>>743397506>as opposed to modern governments with death squads slaughtering civilians constantly..Thank fuck it doesn't happen in the United States.
>>743396537The corporation that made that game is bad.
>>743396932a lot of the shit gangoons get up to is sponsored by some suit or another
>>743397616How?
>>743397661They're obviously telling on themselves.
>>743396932They both do tho. Also OP cyber punk is ass play something else
>>743396537name 1 corporation that isn't bad, bootlicker
>>743396537Unironically>this type of organization is bad>doesn't explain how it works>doesn't contrast it with other types of organization (nation states)It's all just "hierarchy bad" with enough vagueness to get a head nod from everyone.
>>743397770Biotechnica
Fun fact: you know how Johnny (allegedly) nuked the original Arasaka Towers?Yeah, that was actually a Militech operation him and his friends were being paid to do. It wasn't terrorist rebels who did it, it was corporate-sponsored mercenaries.>>743397770NetWatch.
>>743396537I had an epiphany playing that game.In Cyberpunk, corporations stay in power with a high-end military and cyborg death squads.Now imagine how fucking expensive all of that is. It's not even just maintaining all those soldiers, they must spend quadrillions on military research to stay on the cutting edge of technology.In our world, corporations don't need ANY of that to stay in power. They spend a tiny fraction of it on bribes so the state does the thankless military and police part, and the rest is profit.
>>743397859>>743397829FUCKING THIS.
>>743397506false dichotomycorporate deathsquads slaughtering civilians and governments slaughtering sivilians can both be bad, you don't have to pick one or the other to be bad
>don't want to buy shares of Arasaka because they're evil (translation: they don't do anything that benefits me)>i don't get any benefit because i don't own any shares of ArasakaIt's a circular problem.
>>743396537https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsanto
>>743397859>Yeah, that was actually a Militech operation him and his friends were being paid to do. It wasn't terrorist rebels who did it, it was corporate-sponsored mercenaries.Not only that, it was the equivalent of bombing a military base. It just doesn't translate to our modern sensibilities about nation states and the roles of civilians and solders.
>>743396694>>743397506If you look towards Militech and the NUSA, you can get both government AND corporate death squads slaughtering civilians together!
>>743397930corporations have even more power than the government the death squads are literally just their external profits from the unlimited amount of money they have
>>743397967Preach!!
>>743397940explain where the dichotomy was, you retard
>im sorry you wanted to get with the taller goth girl?>nooooo you can't be the best option for your dead friend's gf noooooooooo you can only get with the mid brown biker and dyke!!!!!
>>743398706>moving on Jackie's girl when he's only been dead for like a month by the end of the gameYou're a shitty friend.
>>743398706You can be with a trad himbo chad though
>>743398835and what... wait a year till she gets with another guy? I'm not saying she should be a pump and dump she should be V's partner
>>743398621since the post started with "as opposed to" and had a very sarcastic and insulting tone, I inferred that they were trying to claim that not liking corporate deathsquads somehow means you like government deathsquads, although it's possible that they were just changing the topic randomly for no reason
>>743396694But how does that affect you personally?
>>743397069>all the other philosophical themes pertained in Cyberpunk 2077 Name 3Also>using pertain when you don't know what it means
>>743398887yeah but im not gay or gonna play as dyke v panam sucks again taking away player agency for fag shit when 90% of the audience are straight dudes is retarded
>>743398973Easy.Identity, Mortality, and transhumanism.If you're seriously asking this question you're politically braindead. The reason why Cyberpunk is such a cherished sub-genre of Science fiction because not only is it OBVIOUSLY political, but people ignore the deeper philosophical parts of it. Like the movie Blade Runner. Obviously corporations play a part in the film.. But the bigger picture is about empathy, what it means to be human, and the search of meaning.But we'll never get these type of discussions in 2026 with the way politics are. Leftists are hyperfixated on corporations. Literally retarded.
>>743396537The need for antagonist. You might think that this world has plenty of shit to pick from but Pondsmith can't into big world building;>Govs like NuUSA(which might as well be Militech LARPing) are useless and barely do anything>Big boys like EU, Soviets and Japan are too much>The entire action takes place in one fucking city-state, so you're left with police, gangs, rare glowies and corpos
>>743397967that feel when Arasaka buys your employer and then fires you>no longer have to decide whether to buy shares>>743399257>Identity, Mortality, and transhumanism.Oh I misread philosophical as political
>>743399257
>>743399368>Oh I misread philosophical as politicalYou're being sarcastic. Not everything is political. Thanks for proving my point that everyone is politically braindead.
>>743396537>80's libtards unironically believed business corporations could become more powerful than nation states.
>>743396537>>743397069did you play the game or are you just shitposting to get (you)s?
>>743399689Will you refute my point or not?
>>743399743just shitposting are you, okayyy!
>>743399846Seriously, look past political themes within the Cyberpunk sub-genre. There's far more interesting topics to dive into.
>>743399902i think this makes corpos pretty evil wouldn't you agree?https://cyberpunk.fandom.com/wiki/Relic
>>743400158Hold on, I am not the OP. I am the other guy.
>>743399846>sprunky hot shortstack cyborg girl trade off >annoying and sounds like Sarah Silvermanhonestly not that bad of a deal
>>743400194oh im sorry i didn't read your post completely, i saw a cat and i thought it was a shitpost>>743400361>he listens to english dubs
>>743400430english dub is canon Night City is in the UNITED STATES
>>743400430>he listens to Japs voicing Americans
>>743397839they do evil shit too. it's just not at the forefront of the game.
>>743396537>corporations are LE BAD>meanwhile, street punks and gangs literally raping and killing everything in sightdon't give me that, "W-WELL, THE CORPORATIONS MADE ME DO IT!!"
>>743396537
>>743397506>> All bad things ended.Oh, my sweet summer child.Arbeit stood up against Capital and lost. We're still paying that debt to this day. Everyone that isn't one of Jeffy Eps people.
>>743400581the ironic part is that Biotechnica is still way less evil than Monsanto and Nestle irl
>>743400456>>743400490Bro the majority of the time english dubs are jsut phoning it in and have zero emotive effort despite the fact that the one someone loves most is being killed in front of themSometimes you get a cowboy Bebop or a Full Metal Alchemist but mostly you just end up with trash.
>>743397558Happened with Waco, and kind of with the cops hunting Chris Dorner. It'd happen much more if americans actually resisted to getting government boot in their ass.
>>743400727>the corrupt corporation-owned cops won't do shit>the corporate paramedics will leave you to die unless you have an expensive health plangee I wonder why the gangers can just get away with whatever they want and the normal folk have to rely on mercenaries hired by local middlemen they have to pay
>>743400939ok but the Edgerunners dub has Gus Fring in it
>>743399689Gyatt damn. Timmybros our PPs could never.
>>743400727Yes because nobody has a job due to the corpos buying every business and taking away every economic latter opportunity left, workers don't get paid enough either. Crime, stealing from corporations and Black markets are the only ways people can bring meat on the table
>>743397839There are lots of data shards with records of shady shit they have done. They came into power by having a monopoly on biofuel, all of their history is the type of shit Monsanto came up with IRL, but worse. They get a pass only for being the lesser of several evils.
>>743400758At least post a /v/ themed compass
>>743400978>gee I wonder why the gangers can just get away with whatever they want and the normal folk have to rely on mercenaries hired by local middlemen they have to payit's still their fault. they literally do not have to do it. stop treating criminals like children. accountability.>>743401094no, they can live a simple life. even V is over-indulging and got himself/herself into that mess to begin with. everyone over-indulges in Night City... corporations and street punks are one of the same thing. they're all evil.
>>743401182>no, they can live a simple life.nobody can own a house or have children, the mass majority of the population lives in poverty
>>743401271not my problem
>>743401308>
>>743396537>Arasaka dumps all their waste into the water supply so if you're not a richfag you will at best get ill or at worst just die>invents technology to imprison your consciousness in a virtual prison forever>has a murderous psychopath made of 99% robotics on their payroll
>The whole project of world government -- going back to the League of Nations -- has been funded and manipulated mainly by wealthy bankers.>Remember that the UN itself was built on land donated by John D. Rockefeller. The wealthy have always been the ones to profit from one-world government.>The United Nations' secret goal -- well, this is David Rockefeller's description, from half a century ago: "the supernational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers.">The UN was founded not to end war but to gradually dissolve national governments and replace them with a Globalist meritocracy.>Average people never benefit from government and business on a scale they can't even understand.>A few bureaucrats in New York can't make good decisions for New Jersey, let alone Paris or a village in China.>Somehow the notion of unalienable liberty got lost. It's really become a question of what liberties will the state assign to individuals or rather, what liberties we will have the strength to cling to.Don't know what Cyberflop has to say, but I bet DX mogs it tenfold.
>>743396537Because they destroyed the earth and reduced humans to a commodity in a society that actively seeks to grind away your soul and mind?
>>743401094>meat on the tableYou don't get meat on the table period as a normalfag.Even a V who grew up in a rich corpo family says they only got real fish for their sushi on super special occasions.
>>743401390>>743401443You control the places you live in. Go to Day City if you're gonna be such a pussy about it.
>>743400962He was being ironic because that's literally what is happening with ICE killing US citizens in the street. Which I support. I hope they kill every single American.
>>743401521>Day CityDoes this imply an alternate good guy version of Richard Night?
>>743399501??? They already are though
>>743396537Oh it's so much worse than corporations
>>743396537>Corporations are... le badCurious how they all still support these corporations. I am very smart
>>743401390not only that but >the whole world is an entirely polluted shithole due to unregulated extraction of materials >it is next to impossible to earn money in an economy where the ones on top steal everything from others and get away with it >people can't eat normal food like meat anymore only 100% microplastic manufactured bug slop >everything is bought and paid for and made on contracts, human sincerity does not exist anymore >if you aren't uber rich you won't be treated for your sickness/injuries
>>743401543>oh no, a deathsquad trying to... deport people!>i must ram them with my car... wtf why am i dead?
>>743401712>they tried to ram us at dangerous high speeds!>may I see it?>no
>>743401182>if you think anyone but gangers are making problems it means you're a gang sympathizerThe whataboutism is off the charts, but I guess that's common these days
>>743396537>Ok but WHY?How much RAM have you been able to afford lately?
>>743396537You sound like the kind of person who apologizes for Umbrella Inc./Shinra/Weyland-Yutani and Vault-Tec.
>>743401308it will be your problem some day because you won't own anything and the corporations and government will OWN you
>>743401687>if you aren't uber rich you won't be treated for your sickness/injuriesThe rich can prolong their lives practically indefinitely with medicine and they're working on making it actually indefinitely with Soulkiller at Arasaka.
>>743401767high speed is irrelevant. you've never seen a head pop like a melon under a tire before?
>>743401816>whataboutismoh my god another dumb millennial.
>>743401980>may I see the ICE agents whose heads have been popped or been in danger of such?>no
>>743401901not if i work with the mega corps
>>743402043why do pol tards defend corpos
>>743398835It's called bonding through adversity.
>>743402103i just think past the cyberpunk literature, corporations are way more nuanced than that. you guys read cyberpunk novels and think it's exactly like it irl. it's kinda embarassing
>>743402097You'll just be stabbed in the back by the next guy who wants to use you as a rung on the ladder
>>743402219not if i react first.
>>743401891>Umbrella Inc.Pharmaceutical company, I thought you people liked vaccines?>ShinraClean energy company, literally bringing light to the world without the need for coal.>Weyland-YutaniAdvanced space flight beyond even Musk's dreams.>Vault-TecIt's only thanks to them sane people are left in the post-war wasteland and not only rad poisoned demented raiders murdering each other like in Mad Max.
>>743402180look up Monsanto, amazon, nestle and tell me they're the good guys retard
>>743396537Objectively Corpo V is the best V.
>>743402319>>743402219so.. my options.. don't join the corpos.. but yet street punks and gangers literally do what they want.. if i can't beat them, join them. it's literally the most logical decision.
>>743402258>andrew tate (roided peanut head) gif you're definity not gonna make it lmao
>>743402075>pretending to forget DRIVE BABY DRIVE>grasping at head popping when lethal injuries with cars dont even need visible blooddiscourse with leftists is impossible because they either pretend to not understand, or are actually retarded and argue like children
>>743396537>Biotechnica normalized bugsoymeat to the massesBy far the most evil corpo.
>>743402369your best option is to go be a road gypsy in the wastelandit'll still suck but you'll have a family who'll have your back
>>743402369>don't join the corposThen your options are commit crimes or die
>>743396537Corporations>contributed most significantly to depletion of world resources and its eventual ecological collapse that basically destroyed the world>did this all to enrich themselves and corner markets peddling literal goy slop poison to the masses>deliberately horde wealth and resources to keep most of the world's population in perpetual poverty and essentially puppeteer world governments to get away with just about whatever they please>extrajudicially kidnap, imprison, murder, enslave and torture people.>supply and arm criminal gangs and terrorists across the world to serve as deniable assets, fuel global conflict and sometimes wage actual wars>internally have insane cut-throat work environments that encourage geniune psychopathy
>>743402638>Then your options are commit crimes or dieno. the other option is to work for the corporations and actually get paid real money. less likely to die on the streets as a ganger.>>743402621>your best option is to go be a road gypsy in the wasteland>it'll still suck but you'll have a family who'll have your backfuck no. that's retarded.
>>743397069"political nerds" are some of the dumbest people on the planet because they're all mindraped and psyopped by propaganda and ideology. you dont get smarter the more "into politics" you become, you simply become more compromised and manipulated
>>743401712Would you comply with armed, masked men without badges or other features that identify them as federal agents?Don't ever go to Brazil
>>743402729Once I hear, "everything is political" that person is fucking brainwashed.
>>743402641they're doing this rn we need another revolution the french revolution kind not the faggot russian one that lead to communist hell and people starving to death
>>743402975the french revolution only led to more revolutionaries being guillotined and regular folks dying than aristocrats or royals and paved the way for an emperor to take the throne
>>743403208royals and aristocrats died way more the king and his bitch wife got chopped too
>>743396537If you need to be told, you wouldn’t understand.
>>743403483OP is either a consumer cuck, nepo baby faggot, or obviously baiting
>Judy moves out and immediately finds a wife and a happy lifeIs it all the corps' fault or is Night City a cursed shithole?
>>743403663>lesbian >happy life
>>743396694Yeah, but Gangoons do that every day too. Then again most of them are in bed with one Corp or another. 6th Street’s with Militech, Tyger Claws are with Saka, Hell even Maelstrom deals with Night Corp.
>>743403590I think he's just trying to get cyberpunk threads going because this is like the 4th consecutive one this week
>>743397930Corps in cyber punk literally rule the world. As in they effectively are the government across most of the planet.
>>743397859Also he was a schizophrenic that literally talked to his own hand, and died within a second to Smasher, but helped Shaitan get the drop on him long enough for the others to escape.
>>743403695>6th Street’s with MilitechYou mean the corpo war vet guys who are fanatic patriots to the NUSA are working with the guys who run the NUSA?
>>743397558ICE
>>743403905HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. You're cute anon.
>>743399689Post more Becca Butt.
>>743397506New boss is the same as the old boss, senpai.
>>743403812>schizophrenicthe proper medical term is "cyberpsycho"and it's funny how hardcore ride-or-die Johnny is for his friends (including V) with how much of a selfish dickhead he is in his relationships with those friendsit's a neat little dichotomy
>>743400982And Pilar is voiced by Cheetor from Transformers Beast Wars in both the English and Japanese dubs.
>>743401136Denton or Jensen in Night City would be incredibly fun.
>>743401638Yeah. Johnson Day.
>>743404053>No one was talking about thatPolitically braindead.
>>743404053>israeli and jewishThis is cyberpunk, sweetie.We come from the 80s so hate the fucking Japs with their booming economy threatening to take over the world here.
>>743403925
>>743403919The only known people they've killed are US citizens
>>743404440They deserved it btw. Don't intrude and harm ICE. It's really that simple.
>>743404212Nice
>>743404182Think about that I still wish they did Fuck china and korea
>>743404440They fucked around and found out. Maybe don’t try to run over LEOs or bring guns to protests next time.
>>743402389May I see it?
>>743401664Curious how they all enthusiastically support those corporations and buy their products as much as possible rather than trying to keep their interactions with the corporations to the minimum viable level. I'm just a dumb tradie but it seems a bit like the level of participation in the system they engage in is somewhat above what's actually necessary, and they could live a more humble and ascetic life more in line with their supposed beliefs.
>>743404182>>743404673it's a little wild how they were at the forefront of tech in the 80s to the point all the sci-fi was all "the future is Japanese" and are behind the rest now
In this alternate universe, every single person is self-centered and bad, that's why the world is the way it is.
>one millionth contrarian threadFuck this fucking siteJust be fucking normal and stop fighting popular opinion for once in your fucking life
>>743404982The Japanese seemed alien to the average american in the 80s from how fast they economically/technologically developed and how much of a contrast their culture was. This was before anime and sushi went mainstream. Their cars were already outshining Americans post ww2 causing a lot of resentment.
>>743405347no they'd actually rather eat literal shit then agree with the valid viewpoints with someone they disagree with or they'll paint something a political side just like what the elites want, discourse and divide.
>>743402729yeah you're so smart doing nothing and being ignorant
>>743405423>they'll paint something a political side just like what the elites want, discourse and divide.More populism, sure that's what we fucking need. More hordes of the "common man" thinking they know best for society, holy shit you're such a retard.
Why does no one use f and n bombs as insults in cyberpunk?
>>743405780"yeah everyone should be a slave to the jews I think that's a great idea"
>>743396537They care for nothing but their own profits, not their people nor their enviroment.Which's why in the future, we must retvrn to monarchy and the mandate of heaven instead of such a mercenary form of governance.
>>743396537That was never the theme of Cyberpunk, CD was a gaggle of chucklefucks.
>>7433965371/3 of the entire playable map is an abandoned city that was designed to be a gambling resort. >You could say that Pacifica is almost a microcosm of Night City's history. It started with, "We're building a paradise," and ended with "Dear God, what a nightmare." On paper it was meant to be the classiest and most iconic district catering to corporate employees - Night City's take on Las Vegas in its heyday. Luxury hotels, entertainment halls, sandy beaches... sadly, that Pacifica only existed in the blueprints drawn up by architects for fat-cat investors. Those same investors pulled out every last enny after the Unification War broke out, fearing yet another inter-corporate conflict.Have you even played the game?
>>743396537>Ok but WHY?Did you play the game in a coma? That's what the whole damned thing is about.
>>743407014I wish 2077 was semi open worldpacifica should've been massive
>>743405851Forget the fucking jews. Those kikes thought it would be nice to import rapefugees and then find shockingly that most of them would advocate cutting off support for Israel. The tribe of short-sighted dimwits and charlatans.
>>743407359arabs/jeets/jews and the middle east are a fucking bane to humanity. Everyone is so regressed and held back due to them and their desert religions
>>743396537I haven't played Cyberpunk, but it can't be worse than these fucking faggots.Every NPC repeated some trite phrase praising their employer in the open then openly talk about how much they hate their job and corporation. Even if it wasn't on repeat it would have gotten old.It was funny how they fucked up the release of Spacer's Choice though. It was overpriced, buggy, and recently many bought the original game thinking they'd get a free upgrade when it was only meant for current gen consoles.
>>743397770Valve
>>743407826this game was just as uninspired as starfield just another space game with nothing edgy to offend faggots or anything noteworthy. All in the essence of the word slop
>>743396537Gee I wonder why..?it's basically same as real life:>above the law>make the law>get everything they want>do anything they want>progress society through insanely inhumane experiments>leave scraps and a shitty experience for the rest of the people
>>743404674Maybe identify yourself as an LEO before you approach someone in a balaclava
>>743397558>>743400962I'm surprised there is more outrage over ICE when police in some cities kill a dozen people every year. In general hundreds are killed by police.
I saw corps strip farmers of water... and eventually of land. Saw them transform Night City into a machine fueled by people's crushed spirits, broken dreams and emptied pockets. Corps've long controlled our lives, taken lots... and now they're after our souls! ANONYMOUS, I've declared war not because capitalism's a thorn in my side or outta nostalgia for an America gone by. This war's a people's war against a system that's spiralled outta our control. It's a war against the fuckin' forces of entropy, understand???
>alleged anti-corp game>just a techdemo for the biggest corp on earth
>>743409324>I'm surprised there is more outrage over ICE when police in some cities kill a dozen people every year. In general hundreds are killed by police.Why? Because cops are the heckin evil neo nazi regime? Get real.
>>743397069they're defensive corporate cronies getting upset when their obvious faggot stench is discernible.
>>743409581>they're defensive corporate croniesReal life is more nuanced than Cyberpunk literature little bro. You just live a sheltered life, I know.
>>743409324there is outrage it's hood rats that usually get shot from either their own stupidity or being a thug with a gun. Black communities of course protest about this, sometimes destroying their own neighborhoods not because their areas are crime infested shitholes but because da polis iz rasis. I do have problems with cops tho they have an issue with power trips and law immunity from the government from the egregious shit they do sometimes but they're necessary to cull bad people from society.
>>743409324There IS outrage, it's just mostly localized.
>>743397839the people that created a new plague and "accidentally" released it on a whole Nomad Clan?
>>743397859>NetWatchThe Feds? Frankly the only good thing they do is keep the Blackwall up and we don't even know how much of that is actually them doing it.
>>743401767>only high speed is dangerousYeah go get your hair stuck in a lathe at minimum speed. It's low speed it's safe bro go on. Like put your head next to the tire and we'll slowly drive over you LMAO
>>743402075>uhm actually you can't defend yourself unless someone has died like that before.So inventive murder is legal. Cool.
>>743397648my favorite (funny) part of the game is when V does a job for Pedro and finds out the valentions are running false flags for arasaka against militech. It's funny becuase the dialogue is so dramatic, despite it being run-of-the-mill for them.
>>743409324Often times the police are blacks or browns so they're not allowed to protest that.
>>743410348I like how the Netwatch corpo actually helped you out and was good compared to the Haitian thugs.
>>743410512Yeah if that was your sole interaction with them I could see how someone might think they're the good guys. He's a goddamn saint compared to the Voodoo Boys.
>>743410592it's based most game companies (ironically due to irl corpos) would've made the Voodoo Boys the misunderstood victims cuz dey black but here they're just unapologetic subhuman gangbangers that try to fuck you over.
>>743396537The point of the game and of every life path is bad, that everyone is bad, and everything sucks. It doesn't just single out the corporations.
>>743408782Doesn’t matter. LEOs are allowed to go undercover. Driving over people and bring guns to protests isn’t.
>>743411282>bring guns to protests isn’tLiterally protected by the constitution.
>>743410512He slipped in his own virus after taking out the VDB virus. He’s not trust trustworthy, but he’s also not blatantly evil like the VDBs.

>>743402729The insane thing about modern politics is that everyone thinks they are the underdog. The left thinks the right hold all the power and are in charge while the right thinks libs run the world

>>743411783We're in the worst version of a dystopia where everyone in power is a fucking moron.

>>743397069It's easier to critique abstract ideas, like "corporations", or "the planet", or "people being unfair is unfair."Everyone hates capitalism/socialism until it means they have to grow their own food.
>>743412408Or maybe it's just "capitalism is capable of creating some truly terrible scenarios" and "there's no point in criticizing communism in the same way because we live in a capitalist society"
governments have the power and money to make a country better for its people, except for in the uscorporations have the power and money to get more power and money, like in the us
>>743396537I'm a helicopter pilot for high end corporate operations. They provide housing, suits, food, safety is paramount, spare no exspense in helicopter maintenance. Get paid $290 usd an hour. Yeah, I'm thinking corpo
>>743412620good thing drivers and pilots will never be replaced by drones and ai
>>743412683helicopter pilots no, they've tried shit breaks, Airlines will be flown by AI and have a human back up. Helicopters are too dynamic, and systems fail too often for AI ever to be the sole pilot. Try it and see though, I won't be on board.
>>743412823You seriously believe that? Lol
>>743412823will helis ever be replaced with classic 4 rotor drones?seems much easier to control
>>743412408corporations are not abstract ideas
>>7434129964 rotor aircraft have no way to land safely if something goes wrong with one of the 4 rotors. Helicopters have 1 very well built safe rotor. If the engine fails we can land safely. So, you CAN ride one, but it's worse in every way from a helicopter.
>>743412956Electronics fail, especially in harsh enviroments. We have daily auto pilot issues, the most expensive components imaginable, Highest quality parts. Shit fails DAILY. As I said, you ride in an AI helicopter, maybe write up a will beforehand though.
>>743412956Also, if you think we are advancing in tech, you're lost. Engineering from the US in the 60's-80's was far superior to the dogshit they are making now, and it's only getting worse due to zoomer mutts being the new generation of engineers.
>>743397302/threadCorpos, especially in cyberpunk, aim for money and power in absurd levels, that go way beyond political control. We talk about humanity controlling levels of power. And all that with extremely inhumane and illegal ways, but bribed and twisted enough to make it legal again. Its pretty much the ultimate form of Moloch
Only good thing to come out of this franchise is Rebecca’s ass
>>743396537yes? >Arasaka and Militech started a few wars who decimated the World>NightCorp mind control people>16 hours working per day>the world is dying, animals are extinct, plants are dead, some areas are radioactive, extreme weather, the air and water are extremely toxic etc>you own nothing>some corpos like Biotechnica launched viruses who destroyed the land and food and billions died >governments don't really exist anymore, most worship corporations>there's a mission in the game where a cop is talking about how high guy at a Megacorp killed kids and got away with it because the Megacorp defended him The Cyberpunk World is just our future 20-30 years from now, also you won't be the hero/main character fag , you will be the guy dying on the streets
>>743402641Yeah, but they also provide the dirty crime-ridden shithole that I reside in with lowbrow entertainment, fast food, and frivolous commodities!
>>743409324>just let niggers steal and murder you chuddie!!!
>>743396932The gangbangers are literally funded by the corporations dude
>>743414364sounds like nigger "dindu nuffin" cope
>>743403695That's exactly the point. Corporations are just high class gangs
>>743414567It's literally a plot point that Arasaka backs the chink gang
>>743414732>uhm, i totally wouldn't shoot up my neighbors if it wasn't for those damn dirty corporations.>I'm a good guy i pwomise
Corporations should be allowed to devour the entire planet in a mad, futile effort to satisfy their insatiable greed. Then they should be allowed to move on to the next planet and repeat the whole process all over again, and again, and again forever. That is what's meant to happen.
>>743396537Because corporate become the new governments and highly authoritarian ones at that, basically creating a new form of feudalism.Just look at colonialism of the 19th century. Colonies were largely run by corpos like the East Indian Trading Company. You could also look at Korea today to see a society being run by corpos.Or just look at your average small town which only lives off of a single industry and then how the company operating said industry basically OWNS that town and can do what it wants.Or look at big tech corpos stealing Americans' homes by the thousands, with little to no compensation, all to build more data centers (while the rest of the pop has to deal with the noise, lack of water and surging electric bill).The whole deal of cyberpunk is that the world has become a corpocracy... which is then just becoming another monarchy.
>>743397770Im rather pleased with the service I get from Amazon
>>743396537Well, for one thing.... one of them had the great idea to build self-replicating mines. In the ocean. With rogue AI's everywhere. ELECTRONIC self-replicating mines. Guess how that ended?
I'm on my first playthrough and at the point of no return. Whats the best ending? They all sound like they leave something to go to shit.
>>743397859Based
>>743414978>Guess how that ended?With the oceans being permanently ruined, which was the entire point from the beginning.
>>743396694Uh, have they considered having the correct political statements?
>>743414913>The whole deal of cyberpunk is that the world has become a corpocracy... which is then just becoming another monarchy.Yes, that's the point. We will return to absolutism, and ensure that another Enlightenment will never happen again. And then we will be free to devour this world until nothing remains.
>>743403663Just Night City, it's a place of endless possibilities but also misery. Anywhere else there's less possibilities, but also less misery.
>>743415383The entire planet should be like Night City, and I mean in real life. The misery is the point. The suffering is the point. The cruelty. Is. The point.
>>743414986No seriously. Whats the best ending?
>>743415486The one where you let the corporations win and devour the world as they are destined to.
murrlogic is posting ITT
>>743396537Corporations are not human and thus become undying entities that just change hands. When someone rules over you, evwntually they grow old. Corporations on the other hand will never age.
>>743415718What part of "that's the point" do you not understand? Evil was always destined to win.
>>743415559literally?
>>743415837Yes, literally. Greed is not a sin, it is the highest of virtues.
>>743402776that is a feminist slogan so yes
>>743414986It's NC, there are no good endings. No, really, that was their argument, you don't get a good ending.That said, I think the Nomad ending is the most hopeful, and the Reaper is the most fun
>>743413717TT was created specifically to be a militarized EMS service though, that's why it's expensive. It was never just health insurance, its calling a bunch of armed combat medics to pull you out of a shitshow.
>>743415837No thats a same fag schizo being annoying. The best ending is the hidden "dont fear the reaper" ending where you go on a suicide run of Arasaka tower yourself. You might not be eligible for it on your current playthrough due to it requiring very specific dialogue checks on one quest.But solo running the tower is the most kino ending. Up to you if you like Johnny enough to give him your body or not.
>>743418469>>743416662Just did the nomad ending. Didn't seem bad at all. Looked like a happy ending to me.
>>743409324I'm surprised there is outrage over ICE at all. How can anyone be opposed to dangerous illegal aliens being deported or killed?
>>743401664They don't have a choice. There's a side quest you can run into where some gang members are threatening a guy because he took a job at a corpo and if you scare the gang members off (funnily this is one of the few times you can actually use V's rep to scare them off) he explains that he basically either joined up or died.There's no hope for survival if you're a regular person in Night City unless you take whatever gets thrown your way.
>>743405350>just throw some random Japanese characters on it to make it look JapaneseThat's pretty funny.
>>743396537>Ok but WHY?jews
>>743396537I'm still playing, I chose Nomad V cuz it seemed like it fit. Plus it makes the romance with Panam Flow better
