I'd be fine with some homage/nostalgia bits if it went more past that instead of just digging in, then and there, while moving the calendar date up some decades.
I'm going to be a real asshole now and argue that the total cultural stagnation adds a bit to the bleakness of the setting and Johnny even points it out in several instances
I know what it's doing. It's awfully convenient too, to just extend what was in the 2020s to the 2070s and say "it's the same because it's bleaker that way, maaaan."
Could have been bleaker in newer, updated ways, the way Watch Dogs 2 was, for example.
I wasn't asking for that.
Something can be stale to the point of being Flanderized in its own genre, which is fine and even good to some, but not to others.
Sure, sure, but updating almost nothing to meet the present reality (even the USSR is somewhat still existence in the game's setting) is making that "still present today" more and more vague.
