      You don't really need to complete Watson in Act1, you can do the gigs in Act3 if you wish so. And I think CDPR did the right thing in doing Jotaro's story only for those who are paying attention, most people play the game only one time and barely understands who is the main villain. There's so much going on in the Cyberpunk world that only 3 or 4 playthroughs make the player understand it fully.

Maybe have each region have it's own gang boss you could take on and are connected to a lot of the lore like he us

    I think *most* people miss the actual reason Jotaro is found so *early* in the game. I see many posts referring to him as being anticlimactic, or wishing you had had encounters with hem before actually going after him.
    The whole point of Jotaro is to make someone memorable after the fact.
    He is an example of how life as an Afterlife Merc works. The whole city is connected. One act over here will affect many lives across the city. For years to come. So a gig you barely remember (but sounds like the target was harsh if you actually read the stuff available in mission) leaves a trail of things you *know* you affected that lasts the whole game.
    *THAT* was his purpose. A storytelling element that demonstrates in a very visceral way to even those that are lore blind that "hey... I keep hearing about this guy... didn't I do... oh wow, that's him?" The interconnectedness of the city, stapled to a really hard to miss name that is ubiquitous like pornspam or broken penile implants in everyone's email. It is most people's first glimpse of how much of the city, and *how many lives will be affected by even the simplest gigs.* Once you realize it the implications around all the rest of the gigs where it is more subtle become much more evident. The world building comes that much more into focus.
    Some people will do deep dives like our esteemed Sam Bram here, eventually... but it has been *years* since the game released. yet most of those who played at launch remember Jotaro, and how much the city is interconnected, even when we were dealing with the bugs of 1.0's version. His name is almost a flag signifying "its all conncted!"

      But this is just observation and experience. Storytelling has a number of tools, and one major one in world building is making it seem alive. To seem like the player isn't the only one in it. That things are happening around the player that they can see, or be told about, or overhear that have *nothing* to do with them directly, but touch on things they did, or characters they know. B@D is another great example of this. (And another great Lore vid by Sam, actually.)
      See a thing done enough times and it kinda sticks out for what it truly is. And CDPR builds stories and worlds. It is the reason I loved this game, even on version 1.0

      There's a lot to be said about not having every story or quest revolve around you as the player. That's the thing that keeps drawing me to Cyberpunk 2077 - outside of the main story quests, you're really only just another cog in the violent gears of Night City. If not V taking down Jotaro, then another merc somewhere along the line will.
      And that's the beauty I love about the Gigs, and to a smaller degree, the NCPD Scanner gigs. To V (and by extension the player), it's just some everyday wetwork. Get in, do the thing, get out, done. They present themselves simply. But if you start to actually search out for and read all the little breadcrumbs and connective tissue left behind, it paints this vivid picture of a city filled with people each with their own individual thoughts, needs and desires. And it all happens independent of you being there - you only experience these stories after the fact, having absolutely no impact or bearing on how they could have or would have played out.
      Because let's be real, the true main character of Cyberpunk will always be Night City. And the City. Always. Wins.

      for a high caliber target as this scumbag is, I'd say, for a low, no-name merc to be able to go after literally after you get out of Megabuilding 10 the first time (after prologue and even before you'd go for Vic, you can do whatever-whereever); is still kind of a mistake on world design...
      I remember my first playthrough, did this gig, then after saw few other mentions of him and just thought.. meh.. there were no climatic build up.. so all in all, what ever he did, what level of a scumbag he ever was, were fall literally on deaf ears.. yeah he was an utter trash for a person, but without having an intro into the narrative, you can't feel much of it as it should...
      ...
      that is, if the purpose of creating such lowlife in the game were to show off how screwed some people's mind could be in the future...
      buuut.. I guess the reason for him being such a low key target is to say, there is pretty much a shobo on every street corner, so who's give a damn... ~another rock at NCPD for being inept to do their job..

    When I saw the title my mind immediately went to Jotaro. I am glad they have pushed back his gig a bit now. I remember encountering him very early during my first playthrough and then finding all the other breadcrumbs concerning his vile XBD Empire days and weeks later. Still surprises me, given the amount of detail the devs put into him, that you don't get a James Bond-esque last convo between yourself and him (like you do with the Gottfried & Son).
    For me Joanne Koch would have to rate as the second most villainous (ahead of Gottfried in my books). She was never going to stop using human test subjects for new BioTechnica products but even she doesn't get the same obvious sick pleasure Jotaro does.
    I used to always kill him (and Koch) until I accidentally knocked him out one time and discovered you could deliver him to the Mox. Ditto with Koch and the Nomads. Now I always keep them both alive so they can meet the people they have most harmed and receive the justice they so truly deserve.
    Thanks again. I have discovered all but the under the pier evidence. Once again you show that despite almost 2000 hours playing this game there is still things to discover. Thanks

Most casual players won't even realise or pay attention to these details and yet when you do, you appreciate how intricate and connected everything in the world of Night City is. And to think this game was rushed due to budgetary and time constraints and yet have this much detail packed into it is nothing short of amazing, I can only imagine what the devs at CDPR can do given the time and proper resources.

While the bootlegs typically contain tawdry incidents, Nero is shocked when he receives one showing a murder.

    Hey Sam I got an idea for a future video! Around Night City there are cosmetic sets of clothes you can collect like a NCPD set, a Corpo set, a Fixer set, etc. And each of the bodies you find them from have a mini story to tell. Some of them are quite screwed up. Check it out and consider it!

    Thank you for your effort in this video.
    Here's an idea for another video or even per suburb series:
    What order to get gigs in if they have any connection between each other and what hidden mechanics gigs have to turn them from plotless random encounters into a resemblence of fixer-related chronological chain of events.
    I've just started CP last week and I really struggle to find any decent guide on how to progress the game in best chronological order between the main story, side jobs and gigs. Throughout the years I couldn't avoid some spoilers, but I managed to keep overall ignorance of majority of the game.
    I've already wasted time redoing the progress to cancel Panam interaction thinking it'd ruin Judy's line, only to find out some time later that Judy's only for female Vs if unmodded (although, I didn't find out it in the game yet, but rather in YT videos).
    I also afraid to progress some paths and lock out others, so now it's Rogue waiting for 15k, Brigitte waiting for a call to proceed after punching Placide, Takemura waiting in the docks while I run around saving cops, cyberpsychos, Dolls club and wondering "at which stage am I supposed to go to Lizzy bar for a show and is there any actual connection between gigs and order to them and how the eff do I even tell which gig is for which fixer (not to mention the order the fixer was supposed to give it in) without going to it first"?
    I would really love something like that to be available, since I am completionist enough to give effs about dev's effort to pull a story for encounters and gigs and therefore play the game thoroughly, but not completionist enough to replay the game several times to come up with the idea myself.
    I find it really strange that I have neither a need nor even option to get gigs from visiting the fixer to get them supplied to me in the intended order.

    In a world filled with people with questionable morals and motivation, Jotaro is easily one of the worst people we see. He's one of the very few people who i feel confident in saying is pure evil. The man has zero redeeming qualities and is as bad(if not worse) then Adam Smasher.
    Jotaro is someone no one should ever feel bad about blowing his head off or smashing his head in with a hammer

    16:48 Fun Fact: Jataros personal notes: The first note "-like that film of uninterrupted sodomy, domination, playing with shit....groups of boys and girls" is based off a novel written in 1785, published in 1904 (after it's manuscript was discovered) by French writer and nobleman Marquis de Sade called 120 Days of Sodom or The School of the Libertinage (I won't describe the messed up things that happen but Jataros notes give a quick summary of the horrific things). This was made into a film adaptation in 1975 by Italian film maker Pier Paulo Pasolini (he changed a few aspects such as the setting being during the Holocaust). This film is considered one of the most controversial films ever and is banned in several countries.

    Jotaro is probably the most evil side character (as the poll originally described). But the most evil character in the entire game? For all his influence, Jotaro's still tiny compared to Saburo Arasaka.

  • @fede2710
    @fede2710 Місяць тому

    in Jotaro's personal notes, the entry related to the movie of 120 days of sodomy references an actual real movie, called "Salò, or the 120 days of Sodom". It is a 1975 film about nine fascist officials escaping conviction, that round up 18 teenagers and subject them to physical, mental and sexual torture. It's one of the most twisted movies to ever be recorded. Pretty cool to see the nod to it in this game
