I actually knew my account was accepted, just for the longest time been a observer and learn how things go here.

Been playing Cyberpunk 2077 alongside with Phantom Liberty (Clocking in around 185 hours total) after I got it on discount and upgraded my computer after my old motherboard went brick after 10 years of service. Honestly had a blast playing it, like to get lost and immersed into Night City, really encapsulates the capitalist dystopia of market force left unchecked and the entire world is **** . Combat is pretty fun despite being fundamentally pretty basic and not ground breaking even for FPS standards as it misses certain things like able to switch firing modes for firearms or player character animations in third person is incredibly stiff and unnatural, but yet despite that it has satisfying animations, sounds and details of the weapons. Story is very flawed as it heavily rely more on metaphors and meaning rather than realism. The game is obviously about existentialism so we can't really build nor work toward socialist movement or help the people in general but rather find meaning of living in individuals we love and care. So in short, it's a fun but very and deeply flawed game, no where close to what was promised by CDPR back in 2017, which is funny because people suddenly got dementia ever since the release of Edgerunner and especially Phantom Liberty release, and refer the game as the best game ever, likely supported by the fact that similar games like Starfield, Redfall, etc are terrible games. It's really surreal when you think about it, goes to show that consumers from western world can easily get lost and forget what they're fighting for. (Also this is my first post despite being here in Lemmygrad for a while.)
Like I say, the game is very much into existentialism, it's not about changing the society nor the world, but rather what would you do if you are put in that world. (with restrictions in the case of game being restrictive in terms of choices) Phantom Liberty is about what would you do if you are told that there is a cure but then stuck in a hard rock of whether to trust random person with immense power or US (NUSA) that promise to cure V (Player character).
