@@LayedBackGamers epic shit choom got a hold of Google my account should be fixed by the beginning of the month something having the same card number but different ccv caused some weird damn issue can't wait to be a member again so very sad would've been a legend! 😔.....
@@LayedBackGamers so I rewatched this a few times there's a lot to take away and on to this but I imagine you've already had those ideas planned for future videos (as we learned from the past if I start throwing out theories then things spiral crazily) but idk wakako and rogue for being fixers seems to be in bed with arasaka more than any of the others....kinda funny too for someone that wakako supposedly helped Rebecca had her statement before her untimely death....As well as your smasher theory hmmm funny David wouldve made a great construct wouldn't he or a Smasher clone?! Just theory...
So David was already showing psycho tendencies. Everyone in the hood know not to mess with the crazy which is why they left him alone after he started laughing
I have a theory on Maine, the trigger for his Cyberpsychosis. Notice how his hand was shaking when he found Sasha. I want to say that was the trigger that started it. He managed to keep it under control until David stumbled upon the Sandevistan. Thus igniting the fuse, had he actually gotten the Sandevistan, it would’ve been exactly how James Norris died when David was watching the XBD in the first episode.
He had so many pottential triggers that it's impossible to determine: glitching arm canon, overusing antisupresants, Jim Kurosaki's EMP that targeted neural implants, death of Pillar few days earier, stress caused by disastrous ongoing gig for Faraday and finaly what you said.
I think a huge part of his psychosis, is PTSD from being in the NUSA Spec Ops. Not only was he just in a harsh environment, but actively forced to kill innocents
We seem to forget a lot of our favorite chooms have PTSD abandonment or literally bat shit crazy issues usually caused by a horrific scenario of events caused by a major corporation or someone trying to stand up and do the right thing....the tragedies that have taken in night city are supposed to serve as warning 😂 they kinda tell you in the beginning of the game right when you visit Vic that your fucked cough cough funny that you had a virus since the beginning of the game that supposedly Vic got rid of during the first Sandra mission....just saying download program (the link up V did to Sandra) then the install (soul killer/the engram)....I think theres more behind it especially since vic kept insisteing for you to "go settle this thing" and funny blue eyes aupported all most everyone of your major heist....js theres something deeper....
@JohnnySilverwrench you can be hacked triggering a form of cyberpychosis. Pondsmith has explained at length that "true" cyberpsychosis is a limit on a sliding scale that is a person's tolerance to it. Through differing physical and mental traits what may cause one person to turn will not another one.
I've got to say, Lucy's backstory is even more tragic now. She was one of the few people who was living a genuinely happy life in Cyberpunk until she learns that her father is a proud war criminal. Then, when she rebels thanks to that info her family effectively sells her off to an Arasaka Old Net operation. U mean come on, there's no way they didn't know how horrifically dangerous it was for her to be there. Even though her story still didn't end all that happily. Something tells me sge made the right choice to flee whenever her mother was close to zeroing in on her.
The fact thet there are so many connections between 2077 and edgerunners is crazy. Maine knowing Reed and Sasha's sister in phantom liberty are probably my favorite things now
I truely believe the reason David went Cyberpsycho was because his humanity took a nosedive, not necessarily do all the chrome. First he lost his mother and you can see him laugh randomly for no reason, until he met Lucy and then the gang. After that he attached himself to Maine and Lucy. Maine became a replacment parent for his mother. That made his humanity go up again, then Maine dies which lowers his humanity. So now all he has left is Lucy, which stays distant and takes a hiatus from the gang because she is trying to protect him(because she loves him). Unfortunately he doesn't know this so he gets depressed and his humanity lowers even more, because he thinks she might be falling out of love with him or thinking of leaving him. So now his humanity gets so low he don't have enough humanity to support the chome he has. What convinces me this might be true, is that in the end scene when Lucy kisses him he pops back like he never had cyberpsychosis.
Another great LBG Cyberpunk vid/BD. Keep up the great work. The Edgerunners story and Phantom Liberty kinda make me really wish we got Luna DLC, it really feels like a missing piece because all lines point to Luna.
Recently a bunch of Dev files were leaked revealing that there was, in fact, a Luna DLC in the works but was eventually canned. Perhaps they decided that I'd fit better in the sequel
Definitely worth the purchase choom, make sure to pick up the Phantom Liberty expansion for it as well. It's like playing a sequel! (But not cause it's set in the middle of the game)
@@KazimirOfTheEastbut hate to say it the only way you're gonna see a decrease in price on the game for at least the next 2 or 3 years is on Black Friday discounts other than that I'd maybe try to find a PDF but those usually take a little time too...I know choom I'm waiting too $300 is a lot of Eddie's to whip out on a game shit I remember when you get the whole jump pack/starter kit red with characters and maps for $100 (that was the books maps game pieces etc...) different time then.....
It definitely threw me through a loop. Had to reread it a few times, but I just chalk it up to the fact that it's the future. In all likelihood, their tractors probably can function like a regular vehicle.
Cyberpunk 2077 lore is amazing the stories told w/in stories is simply captivating reminds me of old WH40k just a bit. In modern times an Actual Story is rare especially these stories that are told in these mediums. They truly touch your soul, and makes you think about hard truths, you cry / scream or even more importantly just like a BD lets you escape from your reality even if its just for a wee bit. I play CP 2077 almost weekly, the same w/ RDR2 which I play monthly.
Great video! Kinda a shame that at least to me if felt that David and Sasha got the short stick as we really didn't learn to much more from their backstories. Anyway the video was great choom! Keep up the awesome work!
@@Aristocratic13 Yeah but not as much I I was hoping. Compared to the other characters we didn't really learn much about her motives or where she came from/childhood. Her and David's just seemed way shorter then the rest when It came to new stuff. As a decent amount of things in Sasha's backstory we already knew.
It's always been my goal to share all the details of the Cyberpunk universe to as many as possible, so it makes me happy that I could help you out choom! I hope you continue enjoy!
I was playing an A.I. Cyberpunk themed rpg, and Adam Smasher and some Arasaka goons where sniffing around Aldo's warehouse, looking for some weird tech the Edgerunners got their hand on, and to help them get away I approached Adam Smasher and challenged him to basketball. He surprisingly accepted, and completely destroyed my at basketball, but then we talked about the weird tech, and he dragged me along the wild goose chase I sent him on. Adam Smasher is a beast at basketball, I thought it was pretty funny, even though it was out of character. ~ On March 26th 2022, just past midnight, I was restless in bed, my limbs became numb & tingly, my chest became tight, & my heart felt like it was being crushed. So I sang out to God and Jesus, about my pain, my feelings, my faults and my inabilities.
As I sang, I began to feel like a river, & a hand was on my back, it's fingers where skimming the surface of the waters, separating the waters, causing ripples through my body. Then the hand reached inside my chest, lit my heart on fire, & the heat moved like waves through my body. When I was done singing, all the pain was gone, & I looked at the clock, it was past 1am, I had sang near an hour.
Then the voice of my guardian angel called my name from above, & there was a hymn of energy in the air, the same hymn I hear in my dreams of God. Glory, Honor, blessings, thanks and praise to the Lord my God, for healing my heart during a heart attack! Hallelujah to the Lord my God for healing my heart! Hallelujah for His son Jesus for saving my soul! Hallelujah for every day! Hallelujah for every breath! The Lord is Faithful and true! May the Lord Bless your hearts, so that you have the will and strength to turn from selfish sins, and flee from the slaveries of the flesh!
Pilar and Rebecca's is kinda sad. I wasn't much of a fan of Pilar's in the anime, but I did like Rebecca. I guess I kinda like him a lil more now. He only tried to look after his little sister in the hole that his father left them in.
I have a lil theory about how the cyberpunk story could play out in the future. Biotecnica. pretty much in Arasakas back pocket and has deals with Militech. What if the Relic and soulkiller is just the beginning of Arasakas and Saboros plans to extend life through uploading engrams to bioenginered human body's with possibly brain and nervous system combined with the engram placed into a new synthetic body. Could be an interesting take for a sequel game to wake up as the first person to survive successfully uploading an engram to a bioenginered enhanced human body. Also gives a perfect scapegoat for using a ton of cyberware and not going cyberpsycho. And an interesting setup for David Martinez to return as a Adam Smasher like boss under Arasaka control since technically your character and David would be property and memory blocked to a degree.
@@doge_testies4070 Theres no such thing as dumb questions around here choom. It is Canon lore to Cyberpunk 2077 and Cyberpunk Edgerunners. Mike Pondsmith created the universe and worked closely with CDPR to make sure everything fit together. The sourcebook this video sources from is the newest of the Canon material from Pondsmith.
@@LayedBackGamers I got 4 ads in the first 13 minutes, it played one after each new character you were talking about. I just stopped watching during the kiwi section because it was getting annoying. I have adblock on my PC but on PS5 youtube app it was atrocious.

The fact they managed to have Solomon Reed and Maine be connected in some way is so cool
Definitely didn't expect it despite Maine's military experience. Almost wish he had been mentioned in Phantom Liberty then...

With this being said I believe like the game shows cyberpsychosis is a hack....not an actual condition but being controlled

Falco is my favorite. He's calm and stoic. He's a rock. He doesn't say much, but when he does...you better listen.
Kiwi’s backstory is definitely the darkest of them all. Adds a lot more context to why she was so cold and distant, even to the crew.
I've got to say, Lucy's backstory is even more tragic now. She was one of the few people who was living a genuinely happy life in Cyberpunk until she learns that her father is a proud war criminal.

@@LayedBackGamers I don't know, I mean, Smasher didn't miss her ;]

Man all these stories are so fked up but Kiwi's story fked me up the most, what a miserable life she never even had a chance for a "normal" life.
It's crazy that people are still making content based on the anime! I finished it about a week ago and plan on getting the game when it's on sale.

One of the best shows I’ve ever seen that I can’t bring myself to watch a second time 😢
Wow, the part about Falco is painful. The author doesn't know how tractors work.

Cyberpunk 2077 has changed my gaming life forever, now that I’ve beat it. I always want to go back and replay the game
I was really interested about the lore of edgerunners, I cannot wait for the orion will continues Lucy and falco's story "if there is a possible way".
We all know Rebecca was the real MC, not David
Rip 🥲
Truly awesome vid bruv! Idk what else could make me love Rebecca more. The Sasha music video was heartbreaking. Such amazing music in CP
How dare you add main’s death song while speaking about him. 😤😤😤 it’s so ugly it’s beautiful 😭😭😭😭
Dope video as always!!!
Nice. I tried googling some of this info its not even out yet. Fresh info :) thanks
Would be interesting to know more about davids father
Great video! Kinda a shame that at least to me if felt that David and Sasha got the short stick as we really didn't learn to much more from their backstories. Anyway the video was great choom! Keep up the awesome work!

My Sweet Girl Rebecca…. You were too good for this City…. Or this World.
Facts 😢.
Oh man I’ve been waiting for the backstories since hearing about the mission kit. Thanks for another awesome video!!!
Loved this video, also your one of the main reasons why I’m so familiar with the lore of cyberpunk so thanks haha
It's always been my goal to share all the details of the Cyberpunk universe to as many as possible, so it makes me happy that I could help you out choom! I hope you continue enjoy!
I mean reed and maine is dope but pilar and Rebecca made my heart truely break more....my poor 🥞😭😭😭.....
Not the pancake emoji 😭
@@Sucart12 I would've been using the Rebecca emoji but stupid Google won't fix my account ...so that's the closest thing I can find 😭
@@JohnnySilverwrench you have a strange obsession for her. Especially, considering how useless her ending was
We all appreciate your work choom!!!! Another well made video!!!!
I clicked it, despite not watching it yet...I want to, just aint got to it
WATCH IT BRUHH......
The video will await your return choom
Honestly, David's is my favorite. The story of his birth had me laughing, it's hilariously crazy.
I loved all of them tbh, but I have to say my favorite was Becca's
I was playing an A.I. Cyberpunk themed rpg, and Adam Smasher and some Arasaka goons where sniffing around Aldo's warehouse,
looking for some weird tech the Edgerunners got their hand on, and to help them get away I approached Adam Smasher and challenged him to basketball.

On March 26th 2022,

my limbs became numb & tingly,
my chest became tight,
& my heart felt like it was being crushed.

Then the voice of my guardian angel called my name from above,
& there was a hymn of energy in the air,

Thanks a lot for the extra support choom. Genuinely means a lot to me, I hope I can continue making content you enjoy!
Been wondering about Sasha after the music video
This is such a good content man good job fr
Thanks choom that means a lot to me. I'll keep trying my best!
Surprised Reed served alongside Maine in the military
Definitely surprising but I guess when you have talent like that, you're bound to be recruited by a government, corporation, or crime group!
Knowing Kiwi's backstory just makes everything about her that much more sad.
It definitely does! That's why it's so hard to judge any resident of Night City at face value
I’ve been wanting more info about the crew

Got an idea for a video thats a lil different. Adam Smasher VS. Frank Horrigan from fallout. I think it'd be a close but extremely brutal fight.
Is this a re upload? I thought I just watched this like yesterday
Haha probably mixing me up with WiseFish, he uploaded a video of the new Lore Day 1 of the embargo lifting while I uploaded a review.

Not really, just didn't told the parents part.
@@Jak239JCYeah not like their whole relationship started off by her leading David on so Maine can rip the Sandevistan out of him
