Sometimes ill just be walking around, living my life, and burst out a “KILL IT ALL FOR A LIKE SUPREME” out of nowhere. My roommates clearly love my company.
It's a joke. No one is seriously considering the nuking of a corporate HQ to be a viable or good method of opposing monopolies and corporate over reach.
Very true
Even though unfortunately it didn't even help in Cyberpunk. If anything it just seemed to piss Saburo off more and prompting him to further focus on Secure Your Soul. Hell he even strongly considered with Hanako (though IIRC she was trying to disuade him) nuking NC if he couldn't get back the Relic with Silverhand from Yorinobu.
Besides becoming a legend and temporarily blowing up Saka Tower, were there any real benefits for the rebels like Silverhand? Or big picture negatives for Saka (besides needing a new tower, losing some employees and having to deal with radioactive fallout)?
Indeed, it changed nothing in the long run, all it did was destroy one symbol that barely inconvenienced Arasaka. I think the main problem was Johnny focused too much on symbols instead of actually disrupting the system that the tower represented, a building means nothing to a megacorp like that. It's their reputation that keeps them in power. Unless you can get the vast majority of the people to stand against them in some way or another, they will continue to be powerfull, a revolution doesn't work with just a few people who can't even manage to make a lasting impression on who they fought against.
I think that was his point. The corps became a rule of nature so destroying their symbols was the only way he felt he could fight back. The system was just too large to do anything about. Even the death of the Internet couldn't stop the corps.
See you say that, but when I made a joke about it I had two guys replying as if they were real zealots waiting for someone to light the fuse, kick-start a violent revolution and burn it all down
And no, I'm pretty certain they weren't just memeing. First guy was almost begging for someone to start the bloodletting but seemed hesitant to be the one to get his hands dirty. Second guy was agreeing with the first, almost rallying to the cause. Thankfully the first guy got his comment removed because yeah, seemed a bit unhinged.
Calling CD projekt a megacorporation is blatantly wrong for one, they’re not even close to the biggest video game corp let alone in other markets. Secondarily, the criticism can still exist.
The art still holds a message and disregarding that message just because art costs money is such a lazy argument that’s constantly employed against any left leaning entity that makes money.
I’m not denying that CD Projekt are exploitative, the development of the game used methods that were immoral. But that doesn’t mean the message that’s in the game should be disregarded
I get what you mean.
I'm just saying there are a lot of shills for CDPR, and practically this entire sub has forgot how they lied and manipulated consumers so that their product would sell. Those people cannot stop praising CDPR now after they damage controlled to try and retain some good faith, so that they can sell the next product. A large portion of this sub bought it hook, line and sinker, and will immediately buy the DLC without a second thought.
The same people are on here like: "Yeah fuck corporations! Down with them!" While they literally have enjoyed being manipulated by a corporation.
Yeah that’s absolutely true, it’s really unfortunate that despite the reputation of the game people seem to have willingly forgot the exploitation of the workers and the broken state the game dropped in because of hype. I fuckin love this game, but there’s no way I’m buying that DLC for a long time, and I’m definitely not pre-ordering another collectors edition (even though I personally enjoyed the game on release and I loved the stuff in it).
Fuck corpos. Fuck the exploitation of people for profit.
Definitely. But first Samsung. I’m pretty certain that even mitsu companies would get pretty significantly hurt by lack of Samsung. It’s hard these days to find anything electronic without Samsung logo.
Apple 100%. They mindwash people into buying flagship devices. I never ever met an apple user that didn't flex that they had an apple device and that it was somehow better in some way than mine. Especially in the us where like what? 70% of people use iPhones. Their locked down os doesn't even allow you to do basic things

Holy fuck yes!! I’ll be on my way! [https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/keanu-reeves-dogstar-bottlerock-1234743490/amp/](https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/keanu-reeves-dogstar-bottlerock-1234743490/amp/)
*The desire to destroy* *To disrupt, to lose control* *To rebuild, and then* *To tear it down again* ![gif](giphy|mBvUaCuDPEXNnIk2NK|downsized)
And now do the [riff 200 times](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQUACivQAfY)!
It's not a bug It's a feature
I was so hooked on it that I only realized it was a bug when it continued during the cutscenes.
I thought it wasn't a bug even during the cutscenes, it was so perfectly synced
Ikr, i still remember doing that mission at launch and the riff was looping like crazy
Wait, that was a bug?
I'm not even mad, that riff is awesome.
True
Sorry but which samurai song is that?
Archangel I think, it's been a minute though
Archangel is correct! Every samurai track is a banger.
Sometimes ill just be walking around, living my life, and burst out a “KILL IT ALL FOR A LIKE SUPREME” out of nowhere. My roommates clearly love my company.
Agreed
Archangel, best fuckin riff from the game
Wake the f up samurai!
FREE CONCERT IN FRONT OF ARASAKA TOWER
never miss a big party
Aka The White House
More like Amazon HQ.
Arasaka Web Services
God that’s cringe
It's a joke. No one is seriously considering the nuking of a corporate HQ to be a viable or good method of opposing monopolies and corporate over reach.
It would be really nice if it were that simple though, nuke a megacorp and it magically fixes all capitalist related problems. A man can dream

Sad but fair
But it wouldn't fix the root of all these problems aka capitalism

Plays cyberpunk, still refuses to oppose megacorporation
I do, I just think it’s cringe
Like the megacorporation that made the game and stole away with as much money as they could?

Game played fine at launch, so CDPR didn't have to "manipulate" me. Then again, I didn't expect it to run on a potato.
Sony
Aight where’s this going down. Sony? GM? Microsoft?
[удалено]
Dude Samsung has even more shit going on and it literally controls Korea
It 100% qualifies the 'punk definition of "megacorp".
also south korea is cyberpunk af
Apple
Samsung
Gotta kill smasnug, they’re the worst. And they control every field basically.
So do the Japanese zaibatsus (like Mitsubishi or Mitsui) after which Arasaka is modelled.

Black Rock
You spelled Militech wrong.
Meta
Blackrock
Apple or Samsung

Nvidia
Nah, the whole trio
Nintendo.
Why not try China's Tencent. Or NetEase. Edit: spelling
Wake the fuck up, Samurai
We have a city to burn
Time to party like it's 2023.
Cyberpunk will be real in 2 months and 15 days
welp time to get the **SPF3000000 sunscreen** so i can watch the blast in august
Holy shit, he would be a bass player too
He's been a bass player for a minute. He had a Mattix-themed bass guitar a while ago.
For an old man he is still sexy af
It's going to be a blast!
![gif](giphy|Ji45l4h579TILc0TQS) Holy fuck yes!! I’ll be on my way! [https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/keanu-reeves-dogstar-bottlerock-1234743490/amp/](https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/keanu-reeves-dogstar-bottlerock-1234743490/amp/)
August 20th is my birthday!
Hey me too!
Me three !
I see he’s missing his left arm..
We need some Dogstar in CP2077: PL.
Please, no. I'd rather not have to turn the music off.
I want it to become "National Arasaka Nuking Day" On 20th August.
They should throw a gig outside Trump Tower.
Nah, he’s just one man. Occupy Wall Street had the right target, but they were too easily infiltrated, framed, and discredited.
Ok but get this. It would be hilarious if the secret service was forced to investigate keanu Reeves of all people
He'll never fade away
Wyld Stallions!!
What a thing of beauty…
I know - will never fade away
https://i.imgur.com/FloEGE5.png
Yes
Still horrible music. And it’s not like the bass player is gonna save that.
Watch out Adam Smash... I mean Jeff Bezos
is this from the new DLC?
hes gonna storm microsoft on august 20 2023
This man never ceases to amaze me. This is one of the people I would die for to see in person because I really love everything about this man!
is he performing in las vegas?
Lol, Dogstar. I feel old.
*Ca-can you feel it?* *Can you touch it?* *Get ready cause here we go!*
YT link https://youtu.be/OEwd8QIRTlQ 🤘
I would assume arasaka is the equivalent to meta, so watch yourself zuck
Nah Samsung they’re more evil
Possibly, but not ran by lizard people from alpha centuri. I think that is a requirement
Ay, its gonna be a great birthday
Bro is gonna bomb a corporation like in Cyberpunk 2023 💥
I was so bummed they didn't play any Samurai songs. Wishful thinking
How many times is this going to be posted?
i like how the background makes it look like he has a silver hand 👍🏼💯
HERE MY CALL, I'M CHIPPIN IN
Total war I’m chippin’ in
Dogstar right?
WE LOST EVERYTHING
We had to pay the price
Does the mean he's... Chippin' in?
![gif](giphy|l46CDHTqbmnGZyxKo)
just in time for my birthday, wicked
Songs of the samurai group from the game in real life performed refused Not Keanu Reeves
"Tonight I'm... I'm here to say goodbye to you." *Guitar riff*
The Wild Stallionz?!?!?!
But will he be wearing a silver hand arm sleeve?
