Which Cyberpunk ‘Johnny’ had the best “there’s Data in my head and it’s killing me” story

    Johnny Mnemonic

    The broad strokes for the Cyberpunk 2077 story are great. But when you get right down to the presentation and scenes… it’s lacking.

    The disaster happens. We freak out. We look for 2 people that might know w t f is going on. We kidnap someone who might be able to help. And then we have the climax.

    On paper… that’s great and a decent 2 hour movie. In practice, the above paragraph is spread out over dozens of hours of gameplay. It starts to lose its meaning and urgency.

    Johnny Mnemonic has a solid story, and decent pacing for a 90-minute movie. The conclusion is a bit too “happily ever after” but I’m fine with that.

    Also… Dina Meyer adds to my point-review of any movie or tv series she’s in. But that’s just me.

    Johnny Silverhand doesn’t have data in his head that is killing him, he IS data in someone’s head that is killing THEM

    Ok so doesn’t Johnny Neumonic have like a single gig of data in his head? I remember watching it recently, and while fun, its central conceit makes zero sense. Like just use a thumb drive.

    Glad to see I’m not the only one who remembered that movie at launch. They even had a monowire!

    I’m going with Johnny Mnemonic. As much as I love CP2077, it still lacks Ice T and a hacking dolphin.

    Semantics, but V isn’t being killed by data in their head, they’re being killed because nanites are rewriting their neural structure
