I hate cyberpunk 2077, it failed at depict a cyberpunk. it mimics cyberpunk and looks like a gta game in the future they should have made the game based on the genre and not only mike pondsmith's table top rpg game.
It is lame compared to other cyberpunk games (example: deus ex).
I hate cyberpunk 2077 for another reason too; it is that when you type cyberpunk 2077 in the search bar, every results is about cyberpunk 2077. the results are 99% of the time about cp2077 (it completly broke the genre on internet). cp2077 was a mistake to me and a burdden for the genre.
But now that the game exist, it is good because now you can separate the bad cyberpunk media from the good ones (and cp2077 is a bad one!).
about cp2077, is now normalfags think what is cyberpunk is what they saw in cp2077 (neons, shitty rap music,…).
anyway, enough of cp2077. I only played 10 minutes of the game.

there's some elements of cyberpunk in real life but cyberpunk is just far away from reality. just take surfing in the virtual world (cyberpsace) and using internet on the computer or even cyborg arms/legs. Or megacorporations, but yeah william gibson is right, we have cyberpunk things in reality.
RANDOM THOUGHTS ON CYBERPUNK-I like the neo-tokyo city in Akira. it make so much sense to me to build an artificial island on tokyo bay with neverlasting buildings.
-I also like Kowloon walled city. maybe the most cyberpunk area to ever exist. If I was about to make a video game on cyberpunk, I'd add a kowloon level haha!
-One thing I don't like is flying cars. when you see cyberpunk cities, they have roads but if flying cars exist, better make all cars flying therfore not making roads. I don't want to it to turn into the fifth elements. The cars must no fly. or only for ambulances, firefighters and police. so to me cars shouldn't fly
-There's a lot of cyberpunk media that are in fact post-cyberpunk media like Matrix and Ergo proxy, am I right?
-I like the role of megacorps have in cyberpunk genre. I like them to be the main antagonist and those who don't like corps are punks in the sense of anti-megacorps. it make so much sense about the name of cyberpunk. (the cyber part=future). it's the rich against the poors like in real life for nowdays world. so cyberpunk is kind of down to earth sci-fi genre.
-one of the aspect of the genre is the hacking part. it is cool: it gives to the genre another point of vue to the protagonist (the protagonist must know some hack shit and not only knowing how to shoot guns).
-When we think about cyberpunk cities, we think about asian megapolis first and american coast's cities but never about european cities. what can make cities in europe more cyberpunk is to think about commieblocks in eastern europe countries (example russia)
-overcrowded cities, most of the population living in big cities. crime and gangs everywhere, drug and cyberspace, hacking and cyborg parts, electric impulse and micro technology, endless underground parties, silly fashion, that's what cyberpunk is!
