See, and this is where I have a problem. I'm sorry but cyberpunk is inherently Japanese. When we think cyberpunk, we picture Kanji on all the neon signs and things that we see, geishas on the billboards and building ads, noodle shops on street corners. Not Russian or European shit. I'm sorry but I don't picture that weird looking Slavic or Nordic writing on neon signs or billboards of blonde and eurasian women wearing fur hats and shit like that. Or arctic tundras and bleak skies with blizzards for that matter. I tried to convince the team to please not do this and do proper cyberpunk, but they won't fucking listen. Is there any way to get through to these people? I just don't get why anyone would think this shit is a good idea. When people think of cyberpunk they think of Blade Runner, not fucking Dune but with snow and russian/nordic people running around.
Pic related, this is an idea for how they want the city to look. Snow doesn't fucking belong in cyberpunk. Rain is cyberpunk, snow is NOT.
how the fuck would a brawler game in a gta open world even work, that would be total fucking chaos and not competitive at all

>When we think cyberpunk, we picture Kanji on all the neon signs and things that we see, geishas on the billboards and building ads, noodle shops on street coroners. Your post, it's like a revelation. Do Steampunk I next!
Charles Morgan
nice copypasta
James Ross
op is right, I can't really picture cyberpunk in an arctic setting, it sounds dumb
Even CDPR realizes this, hence why there's lots of Japanese kanji in cyberpunk 2077, and even a samurai themed jacket with an oni on it. Cyberpunk and Japan go hand in hand. You walk down a cyberpunk street, there's gonna be noodle shops. Not potato stew or salted fish.
Jace Wright
I thought it was set in dubai. isn't that why you had that bitchfit over your black ninja woman getting changed into an arab
Caleb Allen
russia sucks and so does nordic nations, that is all
Landon Wilson
translation OP is so bootyblasted that anons said cp2077 looked like GTA (it does and still does) he wrote this bizarro double reverse false flag copypasta posing as some hipster cyberpunk gatekeeper and through an inexplicable series of events uploaded it to the internet
and even after all that you still see anons go for it, sublime
if this is copy pasta, well done. its still fresh.
cyber punk is more than just one setting. its most known for that blade runner setting, but you can't act like it never snows or the world doesn't have seasons.
also cyber punk is almost post apocalyptic where the old world is in massive disarray and the new world has advanced for the few.
I would love a cyber punk set in syberia. the outskirts of the mainland where there is some semblance of advanced tech, (or cyber tech that basically does what we do know;kind of like steam punk) but everyone is struggling to make it through this desperate setting.. also, there was snow in blade runner (albeit it was a giant fridge)
just add some subtle neon lights to accent he buildings and alleyways. mite be cool.
Tyler Myers
I have never, not once, not never ever ever saw a cyberpunk setting with snow. It sounds wrong.
>japanese women would supplant the idea of white American women as the standard of beauty
Holy shit Blade Runner foresaw the future?
Jason Kelly
>I'm sorry but cyberpunk is inherently Japanese. Wrong sweetie, French were there first.
Jace Moore
See, and this is where I have a problem. I'm sorry but the Renaissance is inherently Japanese. When we think the Renaissance, we picture Kanji on all the manuscripts and things that we see, geishas on the frescos and oil paintings, noodle shops on the markets. Not Russian or European shit. I'm sorry but I don't picture that weird looking Slavic or Nordic writing on manuscripts or paintings of blonde and eurasian women wearing fur hats and shit like that. Or arctic tundras and bleak skies with blizzards for that matter. I tried to convince the team to please not do this and do proper the Renaissance, but they won't fucking listen. Is there any way to get through to these people? I just don't get why anyone would think this shit is a good idea. When people think of the Renaissance they think of the Sengoku era, not fucking The Name of the Rose but with snow and russian/nordic people running around.
Pic related, this is an idea for how they want the city to look. Snow doesn't fucking belong in the Renaissance. Rain is the Renaissance, snow is NOT.
Don't knock it til you try it. Most "cyberpunk" tropes are only there (noodle shops, kanji on billboards) are in those media because they are set somewhere in California, where there could reasonably be a lot of cultural and business exchange between the US and Japan/China/Asia in general. In Siberia, ask "who would be the closest, most influential trade partners be?" Those are the languages, cultures, and iconographies that you'll be seeing. A cyberpunk setting in Siberia could have some crazy shit in there too, since the population density outside of cities is so low.

How many times will you make this thread you spastic?
Benjamin Evans
>I have never, not once, not never ever ever saw a cyberpunk setting with snow Didn't you watch the new blade runner you retard
Jackson Scott

David Price
Nothing about cyberpunk is French at all.
Benjamin Bennett
>In Siberia, ask "who would be the closest, most influential trade partners be?"
New Blade Runner was a fake non canon sequel. It had a desert and snow, it def was not cyberpunk.
Hudson Thomas
Russia is comfy
>Tfw getting drunk on vodka in your commieblock in a artic portuary town during a 40 days darkness >Night walking on the docks while drunk with a subzero temperature
woudln't snowpiercer be considered cyberpunk? or just post apocalyptic future? fine line tho.
Brandon Hill
>French invented cyberpunk
How come cyberpunk 2077 has no cuckoldry in it?
Robert Mitchell
Because the creator is a honest black christian dude.
Jordan Gomez
You forgot the part where the Russian mafia kills your family and you have to hunt them down in a quest for revenge, catching them in the middle of a conspiracy involving them running a snuff pornography ring using immigrant children imported from India
Daniel Davis
fucking thank you. heavy metal started all of this. fuck outta here with japanese only crap.
too bad the most live action version of heavy metal was the fifth element.
>immigrant children imported from India What for? It's cheaper to use the natives. Pay a couple of vodka bottles to some down-on-their-luck family living in the dying industrial town and they are yours.
Cameron Carter
I doubt mafia would care about some drunk
Ethan Anderson
heavy metal 2000 was awesome
Eli Reed
what if that drunk accidentally stumbled into some russian mafia crime boss' son, who is also drunk and pissed that the drunk guy stepped on his addidas shoes by mistake
Liam Ramirez
>MUH CYBERPUNK >MUH JAPANESE NEON CITIES IN THE NIGHT You're a faggot for thinking cyberpunk is inherently Japanese. You get off on stereotypical cyberpunk aesthetic and nothing but, which means you're a shallow moron that can't see past the way something looks. Fuck off and pick a new flavor of the year setting.
Xavier Young
>cyberpunk is inherently Japanese. When we think cyberpunk, we picture Kanji on all the neon signs this is bait
Thomas Butler
You're wrong and stupid, die alongside your thread.
I bet OP is the same retard that constantly posts the "I had an idea for a game but then they took my idea and changed it and kicked me off the project" threads where he LARPs as someone who works on video games.
>You get off on stereotypical cyberpunk aesthetic and nothing but, which means you're a shallow moron that can't see past the way something looks
so a typical cdpr fanboy for cyberjunk 2077?
Julian Williams
Yeah, yesterday he was a nigger working on a open world game.
Jaxon Hughes
It really aint. Just think about a rainy night in a cyberpunk city Now think of the same night but its snow instead it still has that oddly comfy yet forboding vibe, the nice colours, the contrast, Snow is a perfect fit for cyberpunk settings
See, and this is where I have a problem. I'm sorry but shitposting is inherently chan-like. When we think shitposting, we picture greentext on all the neon signs and things that we see, wojak edits on the billboards and building ads, offtopic treads on street corners. Not video games or on topic shit. I'm sorry but I don't picture that weird looking reddit spaced or normal writing on neon signs or billboards of video games and copypasta and shit like that. Or moderation and board maintenance for that matter. I tried to convince the team to please not do this and do proper shitposting, but they won't fucking listen. Is there any way to get through to these people? I just don't get why anyone would think this shit is a good idea. When people think of shitposting they think of Yea Forums, not fucking Reddit but with video games and on-topic discussions around.
Pic related, this is an idea for how I want the board to look. On topic discussion doesn't fucking belong in shitposting. Wojak edits and copypasta is shitposting, video games are NOT.
No it comes from people expecting japan to have taken over the world by now and then it just became a cliche
Hudson Lee
sleeping dogs is single player ya dufus
Connor Jackson
>fresh copypasta Holy mother of newfags. This pasta is one of the oldest pastas there are, the thing is that OP always slightly changes the things inside of it. Sometimes it's a dark and gritty fighting game, sometimes it's soulslike, sometimes it's a platformer etc. The basic gist of it is always the same though so that's why it's so easy to spot.
Ryan Davis
I want to play this. What is it.
Hunter Fisher
Because much like steampunk very few people understand it. Much like how gears in everything = steampunk people think neon lights + rain = cyberpunk
