Took one look at V3.0 and cried manly tears.

I think we all did.  I bought it basically because I had faith that it would continue in the great tradition of 2020.  I guess I should have known the gig was up when Cybergeneration came out:-(

Cybergen came out in the middle of 2020, not after.

I almost see V3 as a revamp of cybergeneration as opposed  to a continuation of CP2020.

Cybergen came out in the middle of 2020, not after.

Yup Cybergen did come out before V3.0.  It was a glimmer of what was to come.  Should have known if they would waste all that time on that piece of drek that what was coming was going to be utter garbage.

That's a little harsh. If you drop the mutant superpowers aspect and just treat carbon plague as, well, a plague caused by nanites, you get a VERY decent and dystopian setting that works even as a re-vamp of CP2020. It's less "Escape from New York" and more "The Island". Less "Cyborg" and more "Gattaca".

Plus, I liked the key enemies (ISA Incorporated States of America und CDC Center of Desease Control FTW!)

I do not think that it is harsh.  I really have no desire to play a thirteen year old kid in a cyberpunk game.  Cybergen was just ridiculous.  I admit the nano-plague aspect was cool but the ISA.  I mean come on.  Good grief what were they thinking?

"We should get the jump on the Tween Demographic"?

Even a kid back in the day is going to look at Cybergen and say what the heck?

The only thing I remember about the CyberGen add-on was the Spider-man theme song.

[CanRay]

Didn't The Ramones sing that?

Didn't The Ramones sing that?

They did cover the song, but it was the original theme song to the 1967 cartoon.

Good.  I'm not TOTALLY insane then.
