@a7 @BlinkRape @LukeAlmighty @beardalaxy i saw a little bit of developer commentary about that. apparently someone in the studio got the idea to bring reeves in and when he agreed the producers completely changed the tone of the game. prior to that it really was a character drama about V--which is probably why the early development looked more open RPG and post-reeves doesn't.

i think i commented before about there is something poetic about the player character just being skinsuited for a celebrity. it is peak cyberpunk capitalism. (even if we'd have really rather had the original design.)

@icedquinn @LukeAlmighty @a7 @BlinkRape the hooplah around the agme game itself ended up being pretty demonstrative of corporatist hell lol, kind of funny. although, what followed after was pretty good, fixing up the game and such. i'm interested to see what happens with the DLC.

the game changed directors like 2 or 3 times, that's why it didn't really fulfill its original goal. the development of cp2077 seems like it was pretty fucked, it's kind of a miracle the game came out at all.
