Cyberpunk 2077's Ukrainian localisation takes the piss out of Russia's war
Reworked skill trees and new minigames aside, Cyberpunk 2077's 2.0 update includes a Ukrainian localisation of the game…
USSR didn't dissolve in Cyberpunk universe.It was created by a lib so they still made it evil
:yea: however, atleast in the game its shown that USSR has better living standards than US like free healthcare, education and shit. In game version of the U.S. is basically ancapistan (not that different from real life ig)
Strictly speaking Pondsmith wrote it as if Gorbachev's plan had worked out like Deng's instead of leading to liberal/fascist coups dissolving the USSR. He's got some absolutely galaxy brained takes and ideas but as far as libs go he's weirdly endearing.
It just liberalized. USSR stands for Union of Soviet Sovereign Republics and they're just as infested with megacorps as the rest of the still-habitable parts of the planet
I remember reading a chip about how the USSR would implant criminal's brains inside of bulldozers and stuff and use them for construction
they replaced USSR with Ukraine ("між Польщею та Україною")
Ukraine getting their own special version with completely different lore is really funny and also a little sad when you think about it too much.
One line of police dialogue referring to the game's Scavengers faction has been altered from the English "Couldn't all these assholes bite it out in the Badlands?" to a Ukrainian phrase that translates as "Couldn't all this rusnia bite it out in the Badlands?" As Tarasov explains, "'rusnia' is a Ukrainian derogatory term for russians. Scavengers are the stereotypical Eastern European gang in the game's universe."
Adding new slurs to own the russians
That'll get em! Next time I want to hurt someone I'll say a few mean things about them in a language they don't speak in a game they can't buy.
When the Bandera Bucks get chargebacked because your government won't buy Ukrainian grain
I wonder if they left in the dog whistle to the right wing "FBI crime stats" trope, just to have extra solidarity with Ukraine
This makes me wonder, what's some good sourced rebuttals against the 13/50 argument? (Edit: A direct one, so to speak)
-
There are like hundreds of academic papers showing crime is a primarily a product of social conditions (e.g., trauma, intergenerational trauma, poverty, inequality, social cohesion, unemployment, lead paint in your god damn house, education, neighborhood characteristics, etc.)
-
There's also tons of evidence that the American criminal justice system is biased against black Americans at every step of the way, including disproportionate police presence in black neighborhoods, more police contact, more negative interactions, being sentenced by white judges and juries, harsher sentences for the same crimes, lesser access to criminal defense, etc.
-
even if racially enforced poverty weren't a factor it assumes as a given that police evenly and impartially enforce the law.
The studio that made translation said that "All terminology is directly agreed with the CDPR" (https://x.com/unlocteam/status/1704887560063914442?s=20)
Meanwhile CDPR said: "The release version of Ukrainian localization of Cyberpunk 2077 features elements of dialogues that can be considered offensive by Russian gamers, These lines have not been written by CD PROJEKT RED staff and do not represent our views. We are working to produce correct lines and substitute them in the next update."

This likely means that 1 employee was responsible for it and did do it, however very little oversight goes into the translations and now that it's caused a problem the marketing/sales people are doing damage control because it will affect sales.
another reason to pirate, especially games with no DRM.
But damn Russia got SO owned here.
So not only did they fuck over builds and skill trees. (Firing a weapon uses stamina? Like WTF. Separating pistols into a completely seperate branch in cool away from the rest of the guns forcing you to pick a dedicated style instead of a hybrid well rounded char.) They went Oops! All Nazis!
I think I'l just finish my playthrough on the 1.63 beta patch on Steam and forget PL. The more I hear about this 2.0 thing, the more
I get with the direction they went.The guns are split between Body, Reflex, Cool, and Tech actually, with Intelligence being devoted totally to quickhacks
It is honestly a hell of a lot better than the original system they had.
Plus you can max out 2-3 attributes.
I'm so tired of politics in games.
I genuinely am, but for the exact opposite reasons conservatives are. They think everything is being controlled by jewish communists when in fact it's just liberal brainworms. Every time I see a game about "fighting megacorporations" I just assume it's another shitty game about spray painting an anarchist A while some quippy millennial character cracks jokes over your earpiece, and the megacorporation CEO is some 2010 hipster beard having ass who also acts like the world is his stand up routine audience
the megacorporation CEO is some 2010 hipster beard having ass who also acts like the world is his stand up routine audience
Best I can do is a Gen-Xer with a literal neckbeard who acts like the world is his stand up routine audience and throws billion dollar tantrums if people don't laugh.
Cyberpunk has gone woke
