I would love to see more cyberpunk lore compilations :) you are my go to channel for that games lore and i literslly cant get enough of this so well crafted world
Absolutely. Great use of visuals, good music volume, pelasent narration, and excellent story telling. I'll listen to a compilation on just about any lore you'd endeavor to put together. My only complaint is that I put this on to relax to while I fell sleep, and that was two hours ago. 😅
seems like more and more realistic, US betraying everything they were shouting for decades. aka Democracy flag bearers etc, threatening EU, NATO, leaving Ukraine in its most needed moments. Tho, Eu doesnt have power to rise ...yet, at least.
Same here. On my 4th or 5th play through. Playing as a sneaky throwing knife ninja this time I highly recommend it. Most powerful V I've had yet. I totally agree everytime I finish a playthrough I tell myself it's the last one and get a little sad lol. Just to start a new character within a month
The first or second replay is magical tho I do wish I could go back and play it for the first time but on the other hand I didn't really get a full grasp on the game world and fully get immersed until late in my 2nd play through. I didn't even know you could install cyberbware or how to build a character first time through but boy oh boy was I hooked
Opening youtube to see a 2 hour and 26 min cyberpunk lore video from Mr WiseFish has just made my whole week, yes we definitely want more compilation videos 🙏🏼❤️ so excited to listen to this 😁
Massive budget cuts to the NCPD, yet they own the newest equipment, mostly from corporations situated inside of Night City. They really aren't subtle about those bribes, aren't they?
the way it works with budget cuts, is that general presence is reduced, but what little presence can be maintained is disproportionately advanced and expensive, to compensate, on a lower budget
@@attilaszabo2160true but that’s obviously not whats happening in NC. Max tac will deploy if someone breathes wrong in city centre yet Kabuki cant even get beat cops walking the streets regularly. If EVERYONE got a one cop response but that cop was robo cop then we could actually, seriously, say that “its a planned redesign to make whats left of the NCPD better” but we have corporate assests that get almost ALL the resources while everyone else is left sort it out amongst themselves
I've never played Cyberpunk 2077 due to the backlash from its initial release, but your lore videos made me want to play it. Your videos are amazing! Edit : thanks for your comments guys, you've convinced me to buy and play it!
The game has been fixed more or less, and the Phantom Liberty Expansion is great. To get the best experience I’d recommend playing PC or current gen (PS5, Xbox Series) the Phantom Liberty expansion can only be played on current gen consoles or PC anyways
I'm not gonna tell you that the game is a flawless masterpiece but it is MUCH better now. I still notice some little bugs here and there but (your experience may vary tho)I haven't had any game breaking ones since the latest patch.Gameplay wise, it's a lot of fun and and the story is very solid for what it is.
In addition to the bug fixing/general game quality testimonial comments above (and I agree), the game is also pretty cheap right now and has been on sale many a time, so you should be able to find a good price if you were curious.
You out did yourself on this one Wise! I’ll never get tired of the world of Cyberpunk 2077. Honestly can’t wait or the sequel and the lore that’s going to follow it.
So, all along, Yorinobu is actually a good guy? BIG plot twist, goddamn; I instantly no longer want to kill him. Fuck yeah, dude, tear down that mega-corp.
Thank you WiseFish for your insightful, rich and well-edited videos! I am currently writing a trilogy of novels set in the Cyberpunk 2077 universe and your videos have been immeasurably helpful in gaining lots of lore and context for the world!
Scary to think that if we get closer to corporate power control in our world there are companies that have a higher net worth than Arasaka in our world
it's really not that impressive, it's comparable with the US military annual budget(820billion) and for arasaka, it's their Corporation Value is 890 billion Eurodollars, that means their yearly revenue is way less, and they supposely control the economy of Japan, and alot of the world
@@rdc4461I feel like we’re already at that point minus the cyberpunk aspects and literal gun fights between corporations. I’m sure they do espionage on each other
@stefthorman8548 I mean a megacorporation having the same annual budget of the military of the most powerful country in the world is pretty impressive and horrifying.
I love your cyberpunk videos, please never stop making them they help me so much. It really helps me to sleep at night listening to your voice drifting into sleep listening to the history of Night City.
I love content creators that make long, in depth, niche content. I listen to it while I mow or try to sleep. It’s so much better than the 5 minutes or less content.
I just want to say: your content, especially the b-roll (footage) you select for the stories your telling really illustrates why Night City is legitimately one of the top 5 game worlds ever created. Feel like you should do the Gameranx Top 5 vid when they cover it- great work! 🙌
What I find interesting about cyberpunks universe is that it’s not far off what we have here on earth(excluding the advanced tech) the large cooperations that pretty much control everything and the blatant plastering of invasive adverts everywhere in major cities
I recently began playing CP2077 for the first time. Your lore videos have made this game so much more immersive for a first-timer. I also appreciate the documentary style, sans intricate opinions and complex conspiracy theories.
I did not know about the trauma team free trial thing. Clever, nefarious, and it makes a lot of sense. You see all these people who clearly can't afford the best medical care in a pay for care system, explaining that everyone gets a choice to take a one time 24 trial period of the best they have but being required to pay for a membership to get help ever again... Explains quite a bit actually
I love your videos. You and LayedBackGamers are the kings of Cyberpunk lore, just stellar presentation! This is going to be a great video to sleep to! Compile everything you have, maybe dive into Cyberpunk Red. There's always Fallout too, the lore there is incredible. Dark Souls is among my favs too, but Elden Ring being newer might be better for views. You have a smooth voice, perfect for background listening, or taking a snooze. Thanks for doing this! edit, just sw that you have some Fallout stuff, will def check them out!
I think itdl'd be cool if you could expand on specific time periods. You already did a full timeline, now take an in-depth look from 1980-2020, 2020-2045, 2040-2077, something like that.
With the state Arasaka is left in during most endings in 2077, I can honestly see Kang Tao being set up as a replacement for them in futurue installments.

Man i just realized something. Our reality also had corporate wars thought the history only difference is that there was no physical violence involved and no murders. We all heard of the most popular one in recent history... the "war of the consoles" or "console war" between Microsoft (Xbox) and Sony (Play Station). Cyberpunk world equivalent would be Zetatech and Arasaka...if i got it right.
Honestly. The part where they went to form a colony on Mars could really open up a lot of story and game options for the Cyberpunk series. Your Character goes to Mars and then you end up in Red Faction Guerilla. LOL
I fall in many rabbit holes, including Linux, but no rabbit hole I fall into, was so deep as this one. I feel like Alice but in Cyberland. This rabbit hole is changing me.
53:55 OMG that picture is just absurd. I can totally se some Navy General go General: How can we make out carriers more powerful and hold more jets? Engineer: I know lets build 1 giant carrier and then place 3 smaller once ontop of it. General: Brilliant. And thats what they came up with.
I'm always wondering how you're recording the slow motion ingame video sequences 🤔 Great video anyways! Love to dive into more lore about Cyberpunk anytime!
I mean facts though, this auto played off something totally different while I was eating so lol, definitely be putting this on in the background as just something to listen to
When he got to the medical corporate charging you I thought about when I called an ambulance and they charged me and then said they will charge me if I ride with them I said I'll get a ride 😂.
I love your videos. I'm a big fan of the worldbuilding that has been done for Cyberpunk so I can't tell you how much I appreciate the deep dives you do on this channel. I learn something with every video.
Hey Wisefish I have been listening to your cyberpunk stuff for a long time now… if you want any cyberpunk source books I’d love to donate so you have plenty more material. I know this rabbit hole only goes so deep but… anyway let me know haha
Let me know if you’d like to see any more compilation videos on this channel. Can be for CP2077 or any other games I have covered!
I would love to see more cyberpunk lore compilations :) you are my go to channel for that games lore and i literslly cant get enough of this so well crafted world
You had me at 2 hour long cyberpunk content
Ofcourse we need more of these. 👍

@@Loquacious_Jackson please tell me you’re trolling. 😭🤣
The creator of Cyberpunk series
@@TaeSunWoo cyberpunk was a literary genre prior to Pondsmiths tabletop game. Check the book Neuromancer.
He literally made that statement in 2021, saying how over his years of writing his stories, his fiction is slowly turning into reality
This feels like alternate universe historical documentary. Congrats. Excellent narration and worldbuulding on Cyberpunk’s part
seems like more and more realistic, US betraying everything they were shouting for decades. aka Democracy flag bearers etc, threatening EU, NATO, leaving Ukraine in its most needed moments. Tho, Eu doesnt have power to rise ...yet, at least.
Well, it isn't too far off. As I hear, Samsung more or less owns South Korea. Samsung is pretty much a Proto-Megacorporation.

@@Highraven They don't even have good Chrome. And BDs are barely a dream. Can't even get proper AR.
I just cant let this game go. I keep coming back to it over and over and over again.
I made 4 characters and just told myself they’re all in a crew ….. yeah I gotta stop
800 hours later and I'm still in love with nightcity
Same, it stays installed and probably will for a long time. Once in a generation experience

Subtly usually worka when no one notices. There is no need to hide what everyone knows but can't do anything about.
you don't get it do you? the budget cuts, IS the reason why they can afford the new equipment for their elites, it's called relocating resources

A lot has happened to that game in the past 2 years lol

Yessss. Gimme all those tasty plot hooks I can drop into my Cyberpunk Red campaign
Exactly what I am here for too

"sending aids to the Soviet Union" is a line that threw me for a loop
I love how in cyberpunk everyone is so evil that you really can’t feel bad for killing peole
@@zephyrmasterstormforger8687 super facts... I let the pregnant couple keep the car on my second playthrough tho lol
I enjoy these lore videos…I knew the game is based on a 80’s tabletop game, but I had no idea the lore was this deep…keep up the good work!
I never comprehended arasakaa power until i searched their net worth and comparing it to other corpos on its "level"
Scary to think that if we get closer to corporate power control in our world there are companies that have a higher net worth than Arasaka in our world
it's really not that impressive, it's comparable with the US military annual budget(820billion) and for arasaka, it's their Corporation Value is 890 billion Eurodollars, that means their yearly revenue is way less, and they supposely control the economy of Japan, and alot of the world

@stefthorman8548 remember that a eurodollar is canonically equal to $2. So the net worth when converted to our money is $1.78 trillion.
Incredible to throw on in the background while making prerolls👌🏼
Dark souls lore is perfect for this too
I love your cyberpunk videos, please never stop making them they help me so much. It really helps me to sleep at night listening to your voice drifting into sleep listening to the history of Night City.

This is my introduction to Cyberpunk lore, wow its fascinating. Great video as usual really enjoyed drifting off to an interesting story.
The quality of your CP lore videos is completely off the charts, thank you.
Consistently one of, if not my favorite lore channel. Love your style and quality scripts, keep it up dude 😁
I love getting lost in lore videos to escape reality for a couple hours, and yours are some of the best on TH-cam.
you should totally do one on Shadowrun's Corportations like the dragon run Sader Krupp
Yea or Renraku, there are like arasaka
I second this. And not just the corporations - I also love the racial/species dynamics of the setting.

Quality content as always my Choomba! Thank you
loved the long forum content and the deep dive into the corps. can wait to see what comes next
Cyberpunk has so much lore it's insane. If there is anything they got right on this game. Is it's story line and it's lore.
