A Gay Bar for Straight Men - A Cyberpunk 2077 review [Patreon exclusive]
Added 2024-12-20 20:20:01 +0000 UTCWhat does a sexy gay man look like to a straight gamer dude? Is bisexuality forbidden in the not too distant future of Cyberpunk? How many undercuts can you fit into one game?
All these questions and more will be answered in this exciting video about the coolest game of the 2020s!
This video is an appendix to our Youtube video "The Bulge Slider."

Comments
The point isn't really that capitalism *exists* in the game, it's about whether or not this game has anything coherent to *say* about capitalism. We used specific examples of it failing to make a coherent comment on capitalism in the video, as well as instances that were revelatory about the politics of the developers. I'm open to hearing a compelling argument for the game making a genuinely interesting comment on capitalism, if you have one. But it is essentially a commercial game commodifying the aesthetic of punk without adopting any of its ethos. I like driving the cars though! Vroom vroom!

2025-02-22 10:18:34 +0000 UTCI don't think this game is "terrible" by any means. Looking at it from a queer perspective I can see how one could yearn for more, but there are plenty of great things all throughout the game? Especially some interesting transhumanist ideas and questions about technology. And I don't think the game needs to be explicitly anti-capitalist and spell it out constantly to be so, capitalism and corporations affect literally everything story-wise. I really feel like this video completely missed the mark, I'm very disappointed.

2025-02-22 05:08:13 +0000 UTCI have not played the game, but now that hypothetical scenario of what if I was propositioned by a person I was formerly obsessed with, but now they are a ghost possessing a body of a different gender, is going to haunt me.
