    I think what I love most about this universe is that the stories of David and V are like drops of rain, tiny in the grand scheme of things. Both David and V went through hell, leaving bodies upon bodies on their path to freedom or survival and in the end? Night city remains. The megacorps remain. To the average night city resident, it was just another Tuesday.

      I'd say that is a fundamental aspect of the genre - no matter how over the top and extreme things can get from a surface observation, in the long run it is almost always utterly futile. There is no stopping the corporate/capitalist juggernaut as the greed that lead to corporations in power implies even if you tear them down new ones will take their place. That is if you're even on the level of being able to take a corp down.
      The genre as a whole puts a juxtaposition of survival in an utterly dystopian reality against neonbright shining moments of beauty aswell as glimpses into utter horror.
      It ends up asking questions in the same way Planescape: Torment does "What does one life matter?"

    Johnny was never captured by Arasaka. When he encounters Adam Smasher in the building, Smasher shoots him in half. Spider, the netrunner on the crew, slotted a shard that had the soulkiller program on it into Johnnys head before he took his dying breath. The visions we see of Johnny being carted out of the building and interrogated are either memories that were planted in Johnnys head, or they were completely fabricated by Johnny himself in the 50 years he was trapped in Mikoshi trying to make sense of how he could have possibly lost everything. Johnny is a narcissist, and there's tons of examples of him embelishing events throughout the game. Alt herself even tells you that you cant trust the things he tells you. Johnny wanted to believe he was more important than he really was. He was convinced arasaka had taken Alt to get to him when really they didn't give a shit about him. The vision of the tower raid doesn't include Morgan Blackhand because Johnny wants to remember himself as the leader of the raid, and that it was his idea when in reality it was fully funded and supplied for by Militech.

      And magically all the earthquakes, plagues (ok?),droughts and famine only affected the US... Repeatedly. Like the author's needed to find an inflated over the top reason to keep the US influence to a minimum.

This must've taken an insane amount of time to put together, kudos and thanks for doing so!

    Thanks for a great overview of the story! It filled a lot of the gaps I had from only playing the game.
    By the way, 34:37 it’s CHOOH2, “O” as in oxygen, although such chemical molecule is not possible; not with our current technology, at least.
    However, a molecule with one less hydrogen IS possible. CHOOH is a formic acid, a basic carboxylic acid. The name is derived from the acid ants produced. In Latin, formica means an ant.
    Also, 56:12 his name is Kim Jong-il, not “the second”.

    • @bodacious6622
      @bodacious6622 7 місяців тому +5

      Formic acid exists only in dimers: (CHOOH)2 so the chemical formula would make physical sense this way. And there are fuel cells IRL that work on formic acid.

    Cyberpunk's world is the type of sci-fi I could actually see happening. Sure,not to the extreme of using so many nukes, but the economic and most grounded technological aspects, are somewhat believable, especially nowadays with AI progressing and prosthetics getting better, while economic inequality, government corruption, and pollution grows.
    Aldecado (the founder), and Richard Nights are probably the only ones I dare to say who are actually good people, while the rest are.. a bit iffy at beat, sociopaths at worse

There's literally infinite stories that could be told in this world, all of them filled with action and intrigued, and they barely even scratched the surface of what this world has to offer with the original story they gave us. The next cyberpunk installment needs to take advantage on all of this rich lore. This could be a very long running video game franchise if done right

      Look up cyberpunk 2020. If you have the game on PC navigate to your game files and go to a file called bonus content. Within that there is a folder called source book, it has the original 1986(?) Cyberpunk 2020 Tabletop rule book. May not exactly be what you're asking for but there are games before 2077.
