So I understand that people might be disappointed with police or Ai or whatever, but I really don't care much about that stuff. What I was super excited for and what I felt let down the most was the representation of the city in flashbacks.
I wasn't expecting an insane amount of effort to be put into this, but man this was the part of the game that stuck out as the most half assed to me. The first flashback was better than the second one. You can absolutely tell the second one had the least amount of effort.
Why were modern Mantis Blades present and not something like BigRipps? Shaitan's ECLIPLSE conversion was where? Why did everyone use modern weaponry except Johnny? Where's the FN-RALS and the Minami-10? Why was US Cracks being advertised 50 years earlier and not something like FIngers and the Outlaws (Super cool they got a track btw!). I don't know what Santiago and Rogue usually ride on, but why was it the Brennan and the Kusanagi instead of something like the Bermuda and the Ashigaru?
I understand the explanation is most likely going to be something like "damaged chip" or "V's memories blending with Johnny's" for a in-game reason. For a real reason, I understand these things are minor and really don't matter to the average player who has no idea what the hell any of the things I mentioned are. Why spend effort and time on what is a very small part of the game? A lot of those little things add up to become distracting to me overall and honestly it would have been super neat to see those oldies come back into 2077 like some of the other goodies from the past.
I dunno, what are the general thoughts about this?
