Nice post man.
The PS5 mismatch does blow!
This game is more than just gaming IMO.
It's the digital world that emulates our material world really. Society is moving fast (already is to an extent) into dystopia. Future humans won't know or care to look for the difference between digital or material worlds.
Wired into a provider of content.
Cerebral matter knows no difference.
Contentment thus becomes the reward.
What we trade for it then... the unknown?
Thanks a lot for the comment!
Already in just a few hours of playing, I am more locked into the story than the gameplay itself. This is an easy one to feel like you are actually living as the character in-game. Making choices throughout each satiation is a lot of fun. Crazy to think that our world in 2077 could be very similar to Night City.
Ready Player One is another great example of that which you speak of.
Yeah there's so many games pushing and expanding on the industries developing in our real world. I agree that story is the truly immersive element and gaming plays a crucial role in tech and society now.
Maybe content like this has ability to drive audiences to Hive. Thanks for the recommendation of RPO. The imagery alone looks just like that future world I envision.
