>the idea that 2020s tech is better than 77 is really stupid.
not all, just some bits of arcane tech buried here and there, forgotten or mothballed on purpose
it's what makes the krash such an interesting event
the cerb is also not an unkillable machine, it's only unkillable at the time because V rushed into the underground alone and unprepared with nobody reliable to help, if you could lure it outside a single Maxtac team could probably take it out.
SO it's not leaps and bounds better than 77 tech, it's just a very unique piece of hardware that could rival 77 tech a little bit in some aspects, with a very evil rogue AI to top it all.

From a gameplay perspective, it's basically the only way to challenge a built V, when I did the Songbird ending in the space terminal I was basically just pressing W and left click on heads for 30 minutes without my hp dropping from 70%, it was fun but it didn't make my heart pump like the Cerb did, not many games can do that anymore... so when they do it I fucking love it.
Personally I fucking loved the Cerb so much I started shilling the game to my friends that initially dismissed CP
