I've forgotten what the arguement is about now...
I, as in me, the person who is typing this, the individual, likes the form of cyberpunk used in the BGCOVA. Yes, I see the evolution of cyberpunk over the years, the many issues and variations, etc. But it's not so much that BGC2040 has has watered down cyberpunk, it's the fact that BGC2040 is watered down as a whole. The characters changed into very annoying versions of the original, I can't stand most of the characters most of the time, they annoy the hell out of me. All of the parts I don't actually like about 2040 results from trying to modify a Bubblegum Crisis series to fit what the mainstream audience wants. And again, I'm not talking about the cyberpunk aspect. In essense they have a very good formula of cyberpunk, but what they've built upon that foundation isn't all that great and is filled with plotholes and has been rushed along and is full of last minute changes to try to make it all fit.
But I do love how you state the obvious that I agreed on and never argued against in that last post XD
