I love what Mike Pondsmith did. He combined the old west company towns, the story of vegas, and some (somewhat accurate) ideas about where society and technology was headed, even some superhero stuff (especially Batman), and made an RPG out of it all. Total legend.
Seriously. I am in awe of what he has been able to accomplish!! It truly is an under appreciated world - even though it is getting some love. On the wider scale of things, the world of Cyberpunk to me is as good if not better than a lot of what is out there currently.
@@RileyMarrVideo things like Murk Man and Richard Night wanting to build his dream city like the Wayne family, then the Bozos… stuff like that. Most of it was Neuromancer, of course, but he added loads of good stuff inspired by other franchises and media.
@@oldylad the vegas thing is more about how the mob ran so much of the city through their front businesses and money laundering - it’s more about the gang stuff than the structural design stuff. Think clouds, and some of the more extreme stuff around XBDs and what have you. It’s turned up to 11, of course! Epcot is a good analogy for how stuff in Night City is designed, you’re probably right about that!
Addiction = cured Cyberpunk lore gaps = filled Sci fi fantasies = cured depression = cured the endless need for more wise fish videos = cured happiness = yes
True. I don’t play games often, but something made cyberpunk very interesting. I played a few days almost all my waking hours. The characters and the city feel alive. RTX Overdrive and the proper HDR settings will lock you into the game, I wasn’t controlling V.. I WAS V.
Dude, I could listen to you talking about Cyberpunk, Night City and everything else really for hours. Your videos are always done extremely well and keep pulling me back into NC despite me really needing a break!
Everytime i hear nomads in cyberpunk For some reason i think Hoovies So when nomad clans help rebuild I imagine Hoovies throwing sandviches at construction workers
I get so confused cuz night city doesn’t match morro bay or Monterey bay. Honestly looks more like Monterey. Especially since the map is more like Monterey. There’s Watsonville Royal Oaks also it’s shaped more like Monterey. But it’s probably morro bay cuz I seen more things connecting. I fw the video
This game is like a spiritual successor to the Red Dead games. In those games, the bad guys beat the good guys because the bad guys had structure, protocol, government, chains of command, departments, all of it. Now, those bad guys have built their perfect world. Where the good guys have next to nothing, while they continue to consume and consume and consume. The luxury they live in is unbelievable. Arthur says, “America is designed to induce apathy in people.” Take one fucking look at night city, and you’ll see that’s clear as day. Imagine living in a place where all you do is make someone who has more money than you, EVEN MORE MONEY. Oh wait…we don’t need to imagine, do we?
It’s as if the extreme left and extreme right politicians worked together to gain extreme power of the populace and promote extreme capitalism, while creating socialist laws around normal every day peoples lives to keep them from every moving up.
Cal Tech is actually a school in Pasadena, not a company. Unless this is a fictional company in the same city with the same name, then ill see myself out lol
If netwatch has the ability to build the Blackwall, wouldn’t that make them the most power force in the world if they decided to harness the power of rogue AI?
For Rhynes sake i like to believe it really was heart failure while in a brothel, but either way, sounds like he died as every man could wish, having fun!
Wow every point in NC's development feels super familiar. It's like each change is just the worst possible version of what the negative outcome would be in the real world. Making NC basically LA but with rocket launcher arms and motor-driven swords that come out your forearms. Funny how that works. ~~Just in case anyone can't tell this is sarcasm~~
I love your videos but they make me miss the world of 2020. Somethint about 2077 feels too plastic. All of the true mystery and darkness lives in 2020.
I hope that we are able to live a cyberpunk type life in the real world you’d be pretty much immortal cause take a look at rouge she and Johnny were in there 30s when they hit Arisaka tower and it’s been 50 years where we play as V meanin that rouge would atleast be in her 80s along with Kerry and others who were alive at this time and they all still look as if they haven’t aged also to help prove this could happen we already have the ability to make fully functionin cybernetic limbs for those who are missin there limbs it’s only a matter of time until it’s mass produced where everyone under the suns doin it to fit in oh and also we can’t forget bout that Nerochip that Elon is makin thatll ba put inside our heads givin us access to the internet and shot like that
@@TheBlinky81 preferably for me I’d wanna be in the 1800s I’ve always liked western themed games and movies and also havin it in a cyberpunk universe where you have a sandy then able to do the deadeye from rdr2
Cyberpunk is the most fascinating lore as you don't need to suspend belief very much at all to see an alternate timeline where this is reality. Fallout is incredible but you really need to force a timeline where that's possible. This is much closer to genuine human traits and things our cultures would back and get behind.
Do let me know if you like this video and style by giving it a like and leaving a nice comment and thanks so much again for watching!
With how in love I’ve gotten with Cyberpunk over who knows how long, I love this masterpiece of a documentary! Well done, @WiseFish! BRA-VO!
I read this message as do not like this video, and got so confused

WHO WANTS TO PLAY IN NIGHT CITY WHEN YOU CAN PLAY IN THE IMPERIAL CITY OR MAYBE VIVEC CITY WHERE ITS NOT DEPRESSING
Night City, a place where fortunes are won, legends are made, and lives are destroyed.
A glorious place for those with sheer ambition, a hell for those who just want to exist
AND IMPERIAL CITY IS, A HUGE PLACE WHERE LEGENDS ARE MADE AND WITH TONS OF BUILDINGS AND A BEAUTIFUL PLACE
You know, Cyberpunk 2077 feels more like a documentary as time passes by in real life

No doubt we’re all this crap is heading 1990s was d last great time 😢
Night City is a Dark, desolate, but intriguing setting. Mike Pondsmith and R. Talsorian Games created a legendary work of art. ❤
IMPERIAL COTY IS BETTER
AND WHY IS A DARK CITY LOVED AT LEAST THE IMPERIAL CITY IS NICE AND NO PROBLEMS

A new wisefish cyberpunk lore video always brings a smile to my face
I seriously can't get enough of this game and the lore... I hope they keep this series running, more games and shows.
I still haven't played 2077 yet. I hope to soon though 🙌
IT WAS 50 PERCENT OFF BACK IN NOVEMBER 2021
@@NigerianCrusader Got it for half off during summer sale, worth it. Glad I waited and didn't buy at launch lol.
Man, Cyberpunk has some of the most interesting lore
A in-depth dive in the CP2077 Lore , with and amazing quality and great storytelling , keep the good work bro , a really nice video .
I’m going to start replacing my memory of real history with cyberpunk history by watching all these lore videos lol.
Night City design is awesome. So much detail.
I always really enjoy these lore vids, especially the Cyberpunk ones! Well played!
it’s always a good day when wisefish drops a video 🥳
Excellent video. Bravo. Really appreciate and enjoy your videos exploring the background and lore of the Cyberpunk universe.
Jeez, this is sounding like Canada... there's no middle class anymore, you either are rich and can live or you're completely screwed....
This is nothing like Canada, our Canadians are ruled by a soyboy that is Fidel Castro's son.
Night city isn't so bad, they don't have medical assistance in dying... if they did... imagine how much trauma team would charge.
Damn poor people in Canada is crazyyyy. Y’all mind as well just come to America and be poor here where it’s expected of us.
Endstage capitalismus 😔
that’s not just canada… that’s everywhere nowadays!
Beautiful shots 🔥👀
Love your videos, man! Keep up the awesome cyberpunk content!
Man I like these cyberpunk lore videos
Everytime i hear nomads in cyberpunk
For some reason i think Hoovies
So when nomad clans help rebuild
I imagine Hoovies throwing sandviches at construction workers
wake up babe. new WiseFish video dropped 🗿
amazing video, subbed
You’re in for a treat. WiseFish is next level with the lore
I get so confused cuz night city doesn’t match morro bay or Monterey bay. Honestly looks more like Monterey. Especially since the map is more like Monterey.

Cyberpunk came first though
I’m seeing two of everything and I’m dying of puke but this video is so gas
Cyberpunk may be exaggerated with all the tech stuff(may be), but the overall sentiment of where western society is heading is oddly prophetic
It’s as if the extreme left and extreme right politicians worked together to gain extreme power of the populace and promote extreme capitalism, while creating socialist laws around normal every day peoples lives to keep them from every moving up.
That's AnCap
Cal Tech is actually a school in Pasadena, not a company. Unless this is a fictional company in the same city with the same name, then ill see myself out lol
More cyberpunk lore let's goooo😁
If netwatch has the ability to build the Blackwall, wouldn’t that make them the most power force in the world if they decided to harness the power of rogue AI?
I don’t think the rogue AI is able to be controlled
"Capatalist utopia" just sounds contradictory lol
awesome, new updated video
For Rhynes sake i like to believe it really was heart failure while in a brothel, but either way, sounds like he died as every man could wish, having fun!
Hope we get a second game, this world is so interesting
The Orion sequel is in development
The next major battle will be humanity vs the AIs

Yo new vid dropped let’s go :)
I love media that has a really applicable message to the world, they should teach this in schools lol
excelent
Cool vid bro.😺
I'm going to say something edgy but also, I believe, fitting:
Night City is a beast feeding off people's dreams, and Richard Night was Its first meal.
Hello good vid
Literally a city trying to go up like this in California. California forever bank rolled by a billionaire.
it's basically Brazil with technology & money
THANK U, THANK U THANK U,,

Dono but it’s a construction company here in the UK lol
Pretty sure
Yep. It’s down in the LA area.
