Not the analogy I was thinking of but it also fits.
Was more thinking that of course a museum of policing would have a lot of Nazi shit
The memorabilia will be stored in Rio de Janeiro police museum for the time being.
Lol
Maybe I just didn't play far enough in the story, but I got a distinct liberal bothsides vibe with 'unrestricted capitalism bad', but leftists are terrorists.
Just a hunch, but I'm guessing there's no deus ex twist at the end where the terrorists are false flags.
Too bad I won't find out, I was enjoying it until the le epic keanu moment has soured me on AAA games entirely.
Also their ussr ain't even socdem. It's a neoliberal trade cartel exactly like the eu is today.
I read it. The UK has the NHS that doesn't mean they're still not a neoliberal shithole.
That lore entry was designed to be absolutely devoured by left twitter but the actual lore is lib shit. Especially in the context of the genre, it's thoroughly reactionary.
Lol yep that's exactly where I quit. Was whining about it in the megathread last night and this morning
Playing the original deus ex now instead

The dialogue is abysmal, he's a terrible antihero and they had his nonsensical anti-capitalist terrorist character come from a grunge band in a fucking cyberPUNK game. Noted anti-capitalist genre grunge rock, in 2023.
Also that 10 minutes of john wick sim in the interlude is some of the worst gameplay I've ever experienced in any video game I've ever played.
My take is the designers watched the press F to pay respects scene in cod and asked themselves how they could do something that banal but stretch it into an hour of gameplay.
Btw the rest of the story will be about him. The narrative arc feels pretty much lifted straight from a deus ex game and that's how they usually flow.
The le epic keanu moment got me to put it down. I had low expectations and it was worse than that
Once again commenting to point out that cyberpunk's 'USSR' is an EU-style capital cartel that formed after the soviet union.
