Poll: Steampunk or Cyberpunk?

[tehroc]

A dystopian corporate police state, I'm going to go with cyberpunk. Fact is without cyberpunk there would be no steampunk at all. Pollution is entirely way to bad in steampunk worlds, think about that, most steampunk worlds are akin to London in the Industrial Revolution.

 

[Mikkaddo]

Steam Punk or Cyber Punk?

. . . yes . . .

 

[Kenko]

Anywhere that I can be a hacker and the greatest swordsman in the world... Or visit an orbital habitat full of Rastafarian's, or take on a church full of cybernetic monks, or digitize my consciousness.

Hell, lets just go with this:

Either this!

Or just plain ole Cyberpunk!

 

[captaincabbage]

That, is one of the great questions of our time.
The answer of course, is yes.

seconded.

OT: Seriously, I can't really pick between the two, so I'd go with either, as long as I get a bitchin' looking gun out of it. XD

 

[debramster123]

cyberpunk forshure

 

[Sebenko]

Steampunk. The men were better groomed and it was just more optimistic.

You could have guessed that answer from my desktop.

 

[Kiyotaki]

Steampunk: feels natural and the top hats are always awesome also I love steam

 

[tehbeard]

Steampunk, because cyberpunk is just around the corner from reality and is living up to its dystopian nature (goodbye freedom of speech, hello mega-corps).

 

[Fetzenfisch]

Well, as much as i love my Shadowrun. Its not a very pretty world to life in. Cyberpunk scenarios are usually about the average people being surpressed, so i prefer to be a nice gent in a steampunk world. Preferably something like Arcanum

 

[Communist partisan]

Which would you rather be apart of?

Ok, no one? ok, I'll say it, Dieselpunk

 

[phereck]

I second dieselpunk

 

[Macgyvercas]

I was promised a poll...I'm kinda sad now.

OT: Steampunk to the max!

 

[[.redacted]]

I really don't know.

Probably cyberpunk though, providing that it has no fully automatic weapons, which to be honest ruin combat.

 

[Sarah Kerrigan]

Cyberpunk because if it's anything like System Shock 2 I'm in lol.

 

[NaramSuen]

Cyberpunk, because I don't feel that steampunk has much to offer beyond aesthetics.

 

[Knusper]

I've got to say they are both cool, and cyberpunk is a lot more practical. But in the end, nothing beats that steampunk horse in the Bioshock: Infinity trailer, and so I'm going with that.

 

[bdcjacko]

Cyberpunk, because I can still listen to Billy Idol.

 

[WarpGhost]

Cyberpunk; don't care for most steampunk at all.

 

[willofbob]

as a side note, watch the doctor who episode "the girl in the fireplace"

brilliant steampunk.

 

[FalloutJack]

I like both, really. We'll just say that I FAVOR cyberpunk more.
