The story in this game is so narrow. I am not blaming the Chosen One. He is amazing throughout the game, but why did the story have to revolve around Silverhand?
Dude would have been great as your "Dick Head" conscious that chirps at you and fills you in on the world, its history, and current state. Maybe even pretend stroke it randomly when you get with an NPC. Some of his best moments aren't even in the main story quest. Silverhand's quests are okay, but nothing to write home about. Instead we get pigeon holed into a linear story and a theme park world. Dude wasn't even a part of the game until a couple years ago.
Which genius suit thought that was a good idea? "Hey guys! Instead of making the game we promised, let's get Keanu to play Silverhand and make that the focus. That way the gamers will be so enthralled with "The One" they won't see we have nothing." (E3 2019 anyone?) So instead of paying the people in the trenches making this game, you went out and got a movie star.
Keanu is not to be misused this way people! And 20 bucks says he wouldn't have minded no being the focus as long as he still got to be an "Asshole" to the player, run his mouth about deep shniz, and generally be the god in the machine. Cuz he is great at it.
For a game about corporate "fuckery", a lot of corporate "fuckery" went into (cl)ucking it up.
