Does Cyberpunk Edgerunners take place in California ? I thoughtIit was in DR since I think someone said something about Santo Domingo.
Cyberpunk takes place in Night City in California and has a latino suburb/district called Samto Domingo
I know this is a shitpost but I was oddly proud while playing GTA5 as a Californian. The satire was so fucking spot on but I adore Franklin and live more or less in the area he lived (so much so the VA for Lamar signed a Lamar headshot for a deli I go to). It sucks for a ton of reasons but the people are genuine.
I work in Brentwood too, which is more or less where Michael lives. I hate those pricks and it might as well be a documentary. I have family up in Fresno, and that’s more or less where Trevor lives. We don’t visit certain cousins cause of meth, and it also sucks. Hell, I even know a yoga instructor who might as well say we must breathe through our anoose.
But the thing is? They satirized my home, and did it with so much love and care that I know their writers have lived here enough. And it is just satire. There’s a lot more to these places than what you see in the game, haha (except Brentwood, fuck those guys).
Just listen to Red Hot Chili Peppers while you partake, and it’ll balance out.
As a born/raised/living Californian I can attest to the fact that its not California that is the problem. But as my ancestors would say it’s “El Pinche Gringo’s” that tend to be the problem.
I mean, for the most part, yes, you’re totally right. However, one drive through Bakersfield and you might think you slept through a nuclear apocalypse…
my only memories of Bakersfield are how when you’re going down 99 you see a giant cloud of dark smog and that’s how you know you’re passing it.
“You must never go there, Simba…”
The land barons of CA are no joke. They are a problem that we are going to have to deal with one way or another.
Project Wingman has the solution: Destroy California.
To be fair, Fallout is also about how living in Nevada and West Virginia sucks
Almost makes you wish for nuclear winter.
Boooooooo
Boston?
Yeah I forgot lol
Wicked sucks
I mean it got 10 Tony awards.

Wicked is wicked good
Yeah but it really covered both NorCal(fallout 2) and SoCal(fallout) completely to show the whole state sucks.
In fairness, that’s 2 out of like 6-9 games.
Fallout 3 is set in the DC area.
I’m sure you know where New Vegas was set.
Fallout 4 is in the Boston area.
Fallout 76 is in the Appalachian region.
Tactics (which was a solid game and I’ll fight anyone who claims otherwise) was set around Chicago.
We do not acknowledge the existence of Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel.
Fallout Shelter just plain doesn’t count. Nothing ties it to a setting anyways.
California stopped being nice when regular dudes started getting priced out. Now it feels like it’s all tech bros, rich people, and homeless people.
