the fact that cyberpunk 2077 lets you choose whether you're circumcised but doesn't give you the option for *any* other kind of genital augmentation really screams "this is a game made by cis dudes"

sure you can turn your arm into a million knives but kitting yourself out with an all-purpose oposable tentacle dick is asking a little much

eternally losing it at "penis, vagina, or none." you can give your punk-ass biohacking little cyborg rebel NONE GENITALS but you can't give them EXTRA.

none genitals with left gun

everyone's falling over themselves about how innovative this game is meanwhile disco elysium and tacoma are like "hey wait a second"

like seriously this is just tacoma with extra bullshit

so far there's literally nothing described about cyberpunk 2077 that hasn't already been done better and with more purpose by queer indie devs

i know we all love the spectacle of AAA games but come the fuck on

for the record i'm not saying "the genital slider sucks therefore the game is bad" i'm saying it's indicative of a very tokenizing attitude that has so far suffused everything cdpr's shown off. i also just think indie games do the same shit but better.

cyberpunk 2077 is transparently the creation of cis white dudes who are heavily influenced by the works of other cis white dudes, and that's led to a setup and narrative that feels rote and boring and completely uninventive -which is why i find the breathless praise so galling.

i don't give a shit about the genital slider except in the sense that the medium is the message and when the medium is limited cisnormative set of genitals the message is very clear

well that's a fun notification to see

anyway as a last point of clarification before i mute this thread, i'm not mad or complaining or whatever i just think it's funny and dumb and indicative of how boring cdpr's interpretation of cyberpunk as a genre is
