Wha.... Why would they do that?
Breaking bad has drugs, cyberpunk too, i'm sure there's bald guys in the cyberpunk world, so that's obviously the same thing.
I can't wait to have my nomad in the middle of the desert, cookings crystal meth
lol.
Personnaly i would'nt be against some hommage to the cyberpunk movement of some sort, like meeting Molly during a mission, Case on the web, Cowboy the panzer boy, etc... just some nods here and there (hidden maybe), could be a nice touch IMO.
Ho, and something i really want, CPR told us it would be there, but i don't know how it will play out.
I hope there will be the same "environement reaction" just like in Fallout 2.
In fallout 2, if you start the game with 1,2,3 in intelligence, you play a total retard, all you can say is "boogie booga", you can't event open doors
("this mecanism is too complex for you"), if you play a good guy, bad guys will hate you and vice versa, but as stupid as it could sound, that opened a lot of side quest, even when you played a retard.
I would like to have this kind of diversity, even if Fallout is a "prehistoric" game nowaday, i played it recently and well, just the fact that a guy react to the fact you're totaly retarded make the game more "real", like if it were alive.
In fallout 3 (or most of the RPG i played recently), you can start a game with 0 intelligence, etc... nothing will change.
Something that would be pretty cool, would be a "story telling" cinematic intro for the game
(like the 2 first Fallout) about the Cyberpunk history (
like in the 2020 rules book), from
1989 - Berlin's wall fall to
2077 - nowadays
If it has to be solo-ony game, i want to have a top-notch replayability, not the kind of game you left to rot on a shelf once you finished it, there's too much game like this nowadays.
For the multiplayers, i think remember to read that you were not for a MMORPG, but what about Coop? maybe not in the solo game, but a Battefield 3-like coop, where you have SPECIAL missions just for the coop mode, could even be randomly generated, there's so much stuff to do who could be cool in multiplayer, like tactical assault, it's way more easy to attack an enemy with your "real" buddy, with an "real" brain, than a wave of stupid IA buddies who'll run straight on the enemy and get everyone killed...
That said, i'm ok with solo only game, all i really want is that you keep the vide of the "dark and dangerous street, corporate living above the dirty masses, in their crystal tower", it's just what you feel when you read the CP2020 books, it's very stylish
(and so close to our real world in some ways).
Oh and i want a lot of junkies too, you know, the kind of "crackhead" you can find in your town, talking alone, askin you money, trying to stab you for... who knows why?!
I want that, once you stepped in the combat zone or the crappy part of the city, to feel the despair, the atrocity of the low life has to hits you like a punch in the face... You don't want to be there, and people living there aren't happier, maybe "corrupted" by all the crap flying around, just take a walk in a really poor neiborhood with some criminality going on, by night, you'll see what i'm talking about.
This is the kind of dark-disgusting world i want to see, a world who stink reallism, you don't have to feel "confortable" when you goes there, not a half assed "dark world" for teenager with cliché bad guys... If it's a mature game, it has to have a mature look at the 2077 society. A society where no one is spared, except if they can pay the price.
Just take a look at Home of the brave, it gives a good view about the "street life", almost no middle class, thugs, nihilists, uneducated and violent childrens who grows up without parents, corporations black ops, prostitution, drugs, murder, underground pubs, pirate media, streets rotting on themselves, filled with bums, junkies, etc...In my 2020 campaign, i even added some "political" gangs like nazis, communists, socialists, anarchists, ecologists, etc... who fights to control the combat zone, taking some gang as allies, trying to endoctrinate peoples. Even the nice parts of the city should have a few freaks, bums, weird people, it has to show how much concrete and technology drive people crazy.
In the real world, death is disgusting, war is awfull, peoples are crazy, perverted, obssessed, will lies to you to complete their agenda, etc...
The world is enought dark nowadays, so after more than 50 years of society collapse, i can assume that the combat zone or the poor suburbs would look like something close to the third world, drug dealer, prostitutes, thief, black market, disgusting kinks (look at some fetishes peoples have on the internet... you'll have hard time imagining worse)
I want that game to be realist when it come to the underground, some raw and violent world, like Scarface, but worst.
Sorry for my english mistakes, it's not my native language, i hope it's understandable ^^.
That was just my two point.
