I know what you are wondering and the answer is medium and circumcised. These are just a couple of characteristics that play a part in determining the outcome of
Cyberpunk 2077, the most anticipated video game release of 2020 (and possibly ever) by CD Projekt RED
. As a player, you experience the main storyline through a genderfluid avatar named V. The game’s namesake stems from a science fiction genre that at its core presents a dystopian hyper-capitalist society intended as a reflective critique of contemporary life think Philip K.

One of the darkest corners of my wheelhouse is the point where architecture and video games meet, so it’s great getting the chance like I did today to read some thoughts on the subject from someone who architecturally knows what they’re talking about.
Impressions: Why Stadia is a good enough platform for ‘Cyberpunk 2077’ [The Mercury News :: BC-PLG-CYBERPUNK:SJ]

For those who don’t want to fork over that cash, there’s the Stadia version.

Cyberpunk 2077 to arrive on PC and consoles but now that it has arrived, will all the goodwill that CD Projekt Red built up over the years keep the game together?
