Judge Dredd, open world

[theQuack]

doesn't even need a story, just random events where you judge petty street thugs, small criminals and raid mega blocks.

Really isn't. Dredd's world is based heavily around 60's, 70's, and 80's culture and their ideas of the future, which were ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ insane and unrealistic, while the new Cyberpunk games ideas are based around modern culture and what the future is likely considered to be like in a realistic reality. Saying the two are a lot like each other is like saying Chickens are a lot like Snakes because they both lay eggs.

cyberpunk is literally from the 80s and its ideas of the future

Yes, the board game from the 80's, NOT the new video game, which is DRASTICALLY changed to fit modern culture, and is more of a reimagining of the original board games world rather than a direct adaptation of it.

Not to mention Judge Dredds future revolves directly on worldwide government police with a drastic and futuristic take on Police and massive country sized cities, with everything out side of them being a apocalyptic wasteland, while cyberpunk is not post apocalyptic and focuses on corporate run governments with a completely standard and normal police force with normal futuristic cities, like Detroit is in Robocop.

so this article is baseless? cause i found lots of similarities while playing cyberpunk

https://www.cbr.com/cyberpunk-2077-judge-dredd/#:~:text=Cyberpunk%202077%20is%20the%20spiritual,basically%20just%20a%20freelance%20Judge

Cyberpunk 2077 is the spiritual descendant of Dredd's Mega-City One. The protagonist of Cyberpunk, V, is a mercenary--which is basically just a freelance Judge. The gun that Judges wield, called a Lawgiver, even looks similar to the handgun on the box of the game. To fully appreciate Cyberpunk 2077, you should dive into the world of Mega-City One in the year 2099.

Just read it, wish I hadn't. Not only is it baseless, it's deeply idiotic reaching at best. Which is completely typical of not only CBR articles, but Nerd-related journalism in general. There is a reason that articles can't be used as cites anymore. Too much misinformation. Just the two first points made me want to click off.

V is a CRIMINAL MERCENARY, essentially a gangster for hire. That is LITERALLY THE OPPOSITE OF JUDGES, which a personal dedicated to upholding The Law, and not for pay. And saying the Judges LawGivers looks like the pistol on the cover of Cyberpunk is completely laughable, not only to someone who knows the two, but even just showing a gun enthusiast and claiming that would get a laugh out of them.

cyberpunk is far from "happy", it's about as dystopic as it gets

Cyberpunk is a happy liberal fantasy. Dredd is a nihilistic joke on humanity.

compared to judge dredds world its like comparing a 1950s idyllic neighborhood (cyberpunk) to a 1980s Chicago ghetto (judge dredd) cyberpunk did not have a full on nuclear war as a normalized event nor are the cities continent sized then there is the fact crime is not so bad that you need beet cops be the judge jury and executioner

This is so wrong on many levels LOL.

CP2077 protag is a merc, or a full blown criminal, he's not a "freelance judge" or anyone capable of enforcing the laws.

And while Night City shares some similarities with Mega City One being big dystopian city, the scale is much different. While Night City worries about corporation and government going to ♥♥♥♥, Mega City One has to worry about mutants, robots uprising, and later on, undead plague.

Mega City One is closer to something like a Hiveworld/Hivecity in Warhammer 40K than anything in CP.
