setting:
near future, world taken over by palantir/skynet type entities
world ran by 3 of them (depending on geography, asia/europe/america)
regions r game chapters
gritty aesthetic, worst parts of each region
na: skid row -> skid row type place, suburbs being overwhelmed with datacenters
asia: gritty HK commieblocks / abandoned japanese villages being demolished
eu: east eu/ukraine -> villages/fields/forests getting fucked, MC origin
story:
ure a depressed nu-internet user, part of a bigger global network trying to resist online censorship by building their own network
story starts by finding out ur friend is being tracked/chased by palantir (name pending) in na region from another mutual
this starts the prologue section where u travel to save him cuz he cant communicate while being tracked, only to find him dead
that region is filled by uber cracked out lv100 enemies u cant touch for the most part, meant to be fought later in the game - strongest area
ure limited to specific encounters that serve as the game's tutorial
the death or ur friend begins ur revenge arc
u link up with ur mutual from asia and travel there and start that region
u try to figure out what happened and how and why they got him
a short time after, a dead man switch activates that leads u on a trail eventually leading to fighting the asian corp
asian corp fight reveals theyre all actually pretty much 1 corp keeping people fighting between each other and under control 1984 style
eventually u kill/capture the ceo, get into the databases and find plans to fuck ur home region to the ground in order to build more datacenters
chapter 2 u travel to europe to fight there to save ur home
u win however everything is still in ruin, leaves u unsatisfied, beyond that u know future plans
ur battle completely drains resources in europe, u kill the euro corp ceo
through his records u find out that ure still being tracked by the american corp, all ur conversations and even ur location at that point
this pissess u off and u decide to bring them down, spending a little more time in eu region trying to lose ur tail
chapter 3 u go to NA, fight the toughest enemies
battles here have to be genuinely hard to the point avoiding them is sometimes the smarter choice
many smaller boss fights until u get to the final dude which literally doesn put a fight at all and u just put a bullet in his head and its done
characters:
2 choices for the sake of coop, male n female
female 21-25, male 33-35, perhaps never disclose directly
female gets higher agility/lower chance to be hit at the cost of being severely slowed down by heavier guns
male gets a bit less speed but can use heavy guns without losing any of it (so overall still faster with heavy guns)
ties into their character, female is weak physically, male tries to bruteforce every problem
can switch characters between missions freely in singleplayer, both take part in the story
female archetype: distant but emotional, finds herself struggling with motivation sometimes, grew up after the world went to shit
male archetype: zyzz follower hardstyle enjoyer extrovert gigachad, sometimes forgets he doesnt work alone, remembers a bit of the world before it went to shit
antagonists:
asia ceo motivated by divine principles, thinks the world should be ruled by ai bcuz ai is sand and sand is a gift from god therefore divine (literal psychosis)
euro ceo is motivated by power (typical russian tzar shit)
america ceo is motivated by greed (typical america shit)
