David also goes to the moxx, a fairly prominent location in the game

It's unironically a good game. It's just not what was promised and not what people expected after it took far too long to come out.

I get all the "what is the lesson, here?" talk but this is basically a quintessential Cyberpunk story, both in the genre and the specific setting. The house always wins; if you as a normal-ish person want to win (live a mostly happy, fulfilling life) you need to find or create your own space and fight for it. Save your friends, save your family, save your hood. There is no one person who can save the world, and if you somehow take down a corporation there's another waiting to slither into it's place. This is a setting where someone was actually good enough to completely break the original internet and completely obliterate a bunch of megacorps and the end result was *it made it even worse*. Another guy literally blows up Arasaka tower with tactical nukes 50 years before the anime and there it is again, waiting for David to climb it, like it was never gone. David clearly cares for people but he couldn't reconcile having a vision for a life where he could find a safe-ish spot on that edge to live with his friends, or set a goal to leave the life. The thing is though is going out the way he did is quite literally the stated goal of a lot of runners; as in, knowingly rushing to your death with the intent of leaving the biggest most badass most memorable mark on the world you can is something a not insignificant amount of people in this setting believe is 100% worth it. Life is poo poo- it doesn't matter when you're alive and you vanish from existence when you die there, so proving you existed by throwing your biggest punch at the gods and having people tell stories about it forever, and getting a drink named after you? That's worth it to people. I don't think that was what David was going for but it's what he got in the end and that's not nothing.

The only chrome that V gets for sure in the game is very high end, and it's noted they're good about keeping their software/hardware current and maintained.

Smasher was a high-functioning psychopath before he got chromed up. Full body replacements aren't unheard of in the setting- they're just super expensive and have a high humanity cost. There's models for combat, pleasure, and even stuff like fire fighting. In the official material most of them basically make you look like a Guyver or Gundam. Smasher has a bunch of bodies he swaps into and out of, and the one David and V see isn't even his heaviest one. He has one that basically is just sticking him in a tank.

The funniest part about the game is that the closest thing you can get to David's sandy in the game is from probably the skeeziest, sketchiest ripperdoc. Regardless of your stats and even if you take the biggest rear end in a top hat lines you can say, V is a pretty good person that would've gotten on really well with David and crew IMO. Regardless of origin V is way more cautious, meticulous, and less naive than David though- but that's because V is older and all three potential origins had them essentially working as a solo in some capacity.

I beat the game on release on PC and it was pretty much fine. The PS4/Xbox One versions never should've happened though.

The Mox is an XBD bar- you don't actually lay a hand on the workers. Basically the workers there scroll porn BDs and The Mox is the exclusive place to view them. One of the best characters in the game is the person who edits the BDs for them. I didn't think about it but if Rebecca is a Mox she does kinda fit with the look of her appearance mods.

Trigger has other projects lined up, so yeah. Including adapting Delicious in Dungeon.

I liked Cyberpunk 2077 and the anime stood well on its own and also made me like the game more. Arcane did not succeed in making me give a poo poo about League
