@pseudonymsupreme I couldn’t agree more. Literally have never spent so much time in a game only to immediately want to start it back over right away. If you haven’t watched the #Edgerunners anime I highly recommend it. It adds so much depth and color to the already vivid world.

It’s also the first game I’ve played that actually felt the same way that the real world does, and that sounds insane since everyone has metal in their skulls but it feels so much more immersive than even GTA V

Finished #Cyberpunk #Edgerunners. It's kind of mid? Great aesthetics. Pretty predictable plot. If it existed within the Cyberpunk universe, it would definitely be kitsch: style over substance. Absolute oodles of style.

It also continues to bake my noodle that the anime has such a grounded recreation of a place that doesn't actually exist. Having a map of Night City in my head from the game that translates accurately to the anime is weeeeird. Like... the Canny Valley?

Falco and Becca were particular highlights for me. Did pre-order Jada Toys Lucy and Romankey legally-not-Rebecca "Gun Girl Jessica" figures for my collection too.

I've been watching #Cyberpunk #Edgerunners and—while they really do capture the visual style of the game's Night City—it's the sonic landscape that really hits for me. The call sounds. The crosswalks. Even some of the background music. First time I've watched an English dub in decades, too. Seemed more appropriate, somehow.

It's also interesting seeing the way in-game UI elements are presented from a different POV.
