Not me once again falling in love with a game that's being popularly shat on oh well here are all the things I love about Cyberpunk 2077 (spoilers kinda)
• Johnny being a narcissistic idealist, thanks I always wanted a foul-mouthed anarchist yapping in my ear
• V being a big sad who goes to ask a sex worker some questions and ends up getting therapy instead
• That one gun 'Skippy' as a parody of Microsoft's Clippy
• Judy's Ghost in the Shell tattoo
• Claire's trans flags on her truck and casually mentioning her transition and V not even blinking and her story not being about transphobia or coming out she's just living her life AND she's voiced by a trans woman
• the first person POV okay yeah I was sceptical but actually it sucked me in, immersive as fuck
• the text messages from Takemura, grandpa Goro accidentally sending me selfies and trying to search for good food
• driving around in the rain and neon lights to the tunes on my favourite radio station (Body Heat is the best one don't @ me)
• Panam going absolutely ape shit on Saul
• Kerry-you-made-me-feel-Eurodyne
• Kerry's whole struggle between wanting to make art that matters but being beholden to labels and realizing it pitted him against his fellow artists as competition then banding together with them to fight against the corporate wankers like god that was good shit
• Kerry going from a feral agent of chaos to sweet soft bf in like 0.0065 seconds
• This whole list could be about Kerry fucking Eurodyne
• HOW is Johnny such an irredeemable asshole yet still lovable by the end
• the fact unromanced NPC's still felt like deep friendship bonds, the love is there, like Judy still gives me the key to her pad cuz we are gay bros and I've never felt so-
• That bit when Vik tosses the screwdriver and kicks his stool he could kick me like that and I'd thank him
• V adopting a Bingus sphynx cat with Johnny it's their child now
• literally everyone else adopting V
• the voice acting and dialogue feeling so real and layered instead of people taking turns to talk and interrogate each other and just divulging all their deep personal secrets cuz you asked
• V leaving THAT voicemail on Jackie's phone T_T
• the sentient vending machine voiced by the guy who played Connor in DBH
• all the cars handling differently, sounding differently, like damn I guess I'm into cars now??
• a story that centres feelings of loneliness by having an unlikely hero make meaningful connections with other isolated misfits yes pls especially now in the middle of a pandemic
• riding the roller coaster with Johnny, Johnny smiling, oh god
• the subtle shifts in story/dialogue depending on your character and choices without it being an obvious game mechanic, if I hadn't done a different playthrough from my partner I wouldn't have known
• Johnny telling Rogue she was 'the one' and her saying 'I know, just a shame you died before you figured it out'
• just...I love everyone so much I desperately need eighteen DLC's and a sequel
