Her netrunning skills make her a force to be reckoned with and also turn her into a tool that NUSA uses, because of her ability to tap into the Blackwall. Depending on V's actions, they can either secure her safety, make sure she's safe in Reed's hands, or let her become a victim of her powers of accessing the Blackw

Even if players don't go down this route, Hanako has a ton of sway and influence in the game world, which shouldn't be surprising. After all, she has the power of the Arasaka family in the palm of her hand, allowing her to do some incredible things. Taking her help to defeat Yorinobu may not be the best course of action, but it gives players a glimpse of how influential and respected this figure

If the fact that greedy corporations controlling every facet of society was not enough, the world is also in a bad place in other areas as well, with it all basically starting in the usually nostalgic and mostly cheerful 199

In a bid to misuse his reach, a mysterious organization has brainwashed the Peralez family, with Elizabeth pleading with V to not tell her husband about this revelation. It's a disturbing moment that goes to show that even the strongest and most influential people in Night City are nothing more than pawns in the grand scheme of thi

Led by Saburo Arasaks, they have made Japan the top of the world in just about everything —so much so, that even losing a fourth corporate war with Militech hardly did anything to stop its influence in Japan. Knowing what strings to pull, what to invest in and more have made Arasaka and Japan a true juggernaut on the world st

Final Fantasy is a game that loves hair design, and gives players many choices. However, there are severe limitations considering the popularity of the MMO and its huge fanbase. There is a need for more curly hair options, and many fans are annoyed that some hairstyles cannot be used for certain races. Recent race additions like Viera and Hrothgar particularly have limited choi

As V, players will encounter numerous powerful individuals who have all made a name for themselves in Night City . Everyone wants to become a legend in this urban landscape so that they can escape the poverty that's rampant in this city and enjoy life to the fullest. A great way to achieve this is by being as strong as possible. Most people automatically earn the respect of others after they get to see how powerful said person is. There are many people in Night City who have attained this strength in many ways, becoming legends in their own ri

Some video games have much better hair customization than others. The best hair customization includes many choices colors, highlights, lengths, curls, and styles. One particular factor many game character customizations lack is hair options for BIPOC characters. Some games, however, step up to the plate and deliver diversity in their hair opti

Cyberpunk 2077, the biggest cautionary tale in modern gaming, is officially back on the PS Store. It kind of feels like that Spongebob meme - you know, that one and only meme from Spongebob - where some guy finds Patrick’s wallet, only Patrick insists it’s not his. Well, Patrick is CDPR , the driving license is Cyberpunk 2077 , the wallet is a standard PS4, and that blue guy is all of us. Aren’t memes even funnier when someone describes them badly instead of using a meme generator site? What’s that? No?! Well, screw you pal. The point is Cyberpunk 2077 walkthrough 2077 is once more available on PS4 , except it’s not rea

I’m sitting far enough back that I’m out of the crowd. Watching. Watching the line of people and vehicles as they wait at the border. Watching the Tower Group guards as they give the go-ahead to some to pass through the gate, forcing others – often physically – out of line and sending them wearily back to the bordertown; the badlands. They were probably mutants. Tower guards hate mutants. On the other side of the gate lies Cincinnati, now one of the only places in North America that’s hospitable enough to act as a major city – at least, as far as I’m aware right now. I’ve seen planes flying in and out of the city. There has to be somewhere else, ri

While you're doing this, there are certain people and androids who are advocating for android rights, which is something Kronos is strongly opposed to. You're soon wrapped up in a plot to take down Kronos itself and have to figure out who is behind the android resistance. It's up to you to decide what kind of an interrogator you're going to be. Will you uphold the values of the corporation that created you in order to preserve your own safety? Or will you put your life at risk and help the androids that are fighting for a better fut

Outrage is pretty common in gaming, and it feels wrong to be encouraging it, especially around a game as toxic as Cyberpunk 2077. For the record, I don’t care for the game. While it would have been fascinating to see how the game itself and the discourse around it would have been different if it came out bug free, it still would have had its issues. Bugs or no, Cyberpunk 2077 is a game with a very binary perspective on gender that trades on a mostly superficial view of trans people , a horribly misogynistic view of women and sex workers , fridges one of its strongest female characters, and contained a (now patched out) racist m
