    This game has so much lore, it's almost criminal to not release a sequel or another game set in the same universe. It's perfectly scratching that dark-noir, sci-fi/cyberpunkish itch that I oh so love.

      If they did it could be a potential banger and possibly add kind of a more open-world element instead of being confined to a single apartment building and sanctuary. Multiple cases in different districts of Krakow, Poland, possibly even add an in-game cinematic each time you traverse from one location to another in your vehicle just so you can see the lights, people, and just soak in the vibes until you get to your next case going back through claustrophobic alleyways and hotel hallways, abandoned buildings or something. I don't know just a thought.

  • @EnclaveSOC-102
    @EnclaveSOC-102 2 роки тому +30

    I'm pretty sure one of the main reasons why an Observer isn't allowed to carry and use firearms is due to an incident that caused one veteran Observer to go on a killing spree at a shopping center which became known as the Royal Plaza Massacre that had caused Chiron and the FPR's National Board of Directors to enact the Disarmament Act for Observers to not be allowed to carry and use guns.
    I would go into more depth, but it gets weird so I don't want to confuse anyone too much.

    I really hate bodysnatching scenarios.... because it's one of my greatest fears even though it's really nonsensical as the only reason they could have snatched a body is if the brain was modified by the implants in this case the nanites within the blood stream. Though this makes me think of Ghost Runner where an important figure within the story makes A.I. copies of themselves that want or need a physical body.

      I mean they are already bringing people "back from the dead" due to "advanced CGI" for example Clint Eastwood I believe it is, his "rights" to his own image ended last year [I think after celebs die, they can have around 100 years before they become "public property"] so they are planned/making old western movies with him in again because of this... Honestly it's crazy that we don't even hold our own rights to our image anymore

Apparently the government can put a Tax on you the moment you hit 21! (And oh yeah, they even open up OPRHANAGES for the sole purpose of having MORE bodies to steal, because the kids are RAISED never knowing about the fact when their 21, they have to pay a tax on their body and if they fail, their mind is taken out of it an put into a test tube! It also makes the one who CREATED the process who made these Orphanages LOOK GOOD to the public at that! Real disturbing stuff)

    @simonregan471 Рік тому +20

    My reading is that everything you see after getting into the Sanctuary pod is a mix of VR and hallucination induced by AI-Adam. So there's not really a quarantine hotel above Sanctuary and Daniel isn't infected. This is strongly suggested because during this whole last part of the game Daniel's vision modes don't work, just like during the dream sequences.

    When you start the game with this incredible intro sequence where Dan narrates the "In the time of your life, live" monologue by William Saroyan and the music and the evocative images and it's just so good and then the single synth note that makes you thing immediately of Blade Runner. Such a shame! As if we needed that. We are already thinking of Blade Runner, because it's cyberpunk. And because it's Rutger Hauer. But Observer really didn't need to remind us of other media. It stands on it's own very well.
    But on the other hand it's nice to have a cyberpunk game with some actual understanding of economics. It's really important in that genre specifically.

Such a brilliant game, and I love how much environmental storytelling there is all around. We'd theorize during pauses or smokebreaks on so many little things, and I'm surprised to see we weren't even all that far off the mark!

    There is a point of no return and I ended up missing a bunch of content, so need to brace my stomach/brain and head back in at some point.
