Night City is more of a unique case, however. It is the only territory that officially owns the title of "Free City." It is officially not part of any state, nor does it belong to any country. Night City is its own entity, and by 2077, it is mostly run by the Arasaka megacorporat

cyberpunk 2077 Beginner guide 2077's protagonist is V, a mercenary that is original to the video game. While their origin is up to the player, they will notice that this protagonist would fit best into the solo class, regardless of ori

Though Halo: The Master Chief Collection is now considered one of the greatest game collections there is, that wasn’t always the case. Although the collection featured updated versions of the first four games in the beloved series , there were so many issues when it was first launc

Being a direct sequel to James Cameron’s Aliens and skilfully ignoring the terrible sequels that came after, Alien: Colonial Marines was shaping up to be one of the greatest horror shooters in the ge

Silicon Dreams tackles some big philosophical questions and does so with a deft hand. The dialogue between yourself and the androids you interrogate is well written - save for some spelling errors here and there - and has quite a few twists and turns along the way. Each android has a unique personality that makes you feel conflicted about what to do with them. They all act like real people even though they've completely synthetic. Kronos will give you mission briefings that often have some rather cold-hearted requirements such as deleting their memories or melting androids down for scrap. You'll find yourself forced to put an android to death because they've been watching too many movies or they have a faulty arm joint. By the end of the game, I was feeling pretty damn gui

The multiplayer aspects of the game, which is one of the biggest reasons why the series was so popular, were glitchy, and it was almost impossible to play online, as the game’s servers couldn’t find matches. 343 Industries even had to issue an apolo

Players can only craft one of these with the Cerebus Unit’s Behavioral System Component after the Somewhat Damaged quest, in which they will receive This Corrosion follow-up side job. The rarity of these items comes from the fact that they must follow Reed’s path during Phantom Liberty , and they need to pick up these 3 items, to which there is no way to go back and get them without reloading a s

If players don’t bother getting the keys, or they simply don’t look for the shipping container, then they are going to miss out on one of the best and sleekest vehicles in the game, and Johnny won’t be too happy about the fact that players left behind his baby, especially since the shipping container housing the Porsche 911 (930) Turbo is found right next to the starboard of the ship when players activate a button in this a

I wished I was able to glean a bit more information from the facial expressions of the androids like you can in L.A. Noire, but Silicon Dreams' visuals don't allow for that. There is a camera you can use to look at the androids, but the characters all look pretty low-poly and the textures and lighting look incredibly basic. I think a better art style would have helped make the androids easier to relate to as they just look like low-poly computer game characters. However, it doesn't hamper Silicon Dreams's gameplay, as most of it is text-based anyway, so it's easy to overlook. Plus, there is a good use of color as the world outside your office window looks vibrant and full of futuristic neon signs. Meanwhile, your workplace looks drab and monotone, further establishing that you're just a cog in the Kronos mach

Silicon Dreams is a tremendous detective game. The way you grill these androids for information is highly engaging. I was surprised many times by the responses I got from my interrogations and the narrative continued to get more and more compelling as I went on. If the idea of delving into the minds of androids to see what makes them tick sounds like a fun time, then you should experience the dystopian nightmare that is Silicon Dre

The game was originally announced all the way back in 2012, and the first teaser was revealed in 2013. Then, the first target release was in 2015, but it wasn’t until five years later when it finally hit shelves, only to be pulled off them a couple of days later. There’s also an ingenious image of Ross with one of his funniest line from Friends , which comes just in time for the reunion

You play as an android that is the property of a massive, android-producing corporation called Kronos. In this cyberpunk future, Kronos is the be-all, end-all of android companies and is essentially above the law. Your job is to interrogate your fellow androids to determine whether or not they've become deviant, which means that they've begun to think a little too freely and may be a danger to themselves and others. To discover deviancy, you have to ask a series of questions. Sometimes you just need to have them recall memories or run diagnostic checks. Other times, you have to push them to expose emotions and opinions that conflict with their prime direct
