@@Cybernaut76 If you had to compare a game to CP2077, I'd say the game compares better to Fallout New Vegas in scope and depth but it's still it's own beast itself.
@@Dredizzle The only thing I don't like is the cheapest, lowest tech weapons were given new names. They should have given them names like AK-47, M-16 etc and the game should have said they are very old weapons but still deadly in the hands of people too poor to buy more modern ones (just like you could still easily get killed by a Gladius used by a Roman legionary 2000 years ago....or a sword used by some Union/Confederate cavalryman 160 years ago).
@@Cybernaut76 naming the weapons generic names I guess didn't fit CDPR's vision for the game. They went for a more original approach for weapons that suits the cyberpunk/futuristic setting imo.

Another great lore video from LKM:) Personally, my take... it feels like there are a couple of default hostile gangs (Maelstrom & Tyger Claws) where even if it's possible to ally with them the main storyline will make it a lot easier for them to be antagonists Conversely, it looks like the Mox & Valentinos will more-or-less be allies if you just follow the main storyline along, even if it's possible to go off piste and make enemies of them The Animals & Voodoo Boys are maybe either/or -- both could be either friendly or hostile, but maybe allying with one will rile the other As for the 6th Street -- I like the origin here and how they've changed, a militia that started out defending the people and are perhaps just turning into thugs & enforcers -- what I'd love to see with them is the opportunity to influence their direction, maybe you can get them focused back onto defending their communities, on the other hand perhaps you influence them to complete their shift to becoming just another violent band of thugs Looking at the map of gang territory the thing that stands out is a bit of a North/South divide -- Mox excepted, the north of Night City is dominated by the two gangs likely to default to being the most hostile (Maelstrom & Tyger Claws); the south side of the city however feels like the gangs maybe default to being a lot easier to work with (Valentinos, 6th Street, and Voodoo Boys all next to each other). If the Tyger Claws are in bed with Arasaka then I'm thinking maybe it would be nice if the 6th Street decided to start expanding north a bit, perhaps with a little backing from Militech
Sixth Street has always interested me. They’re not *particularly* violent for a street gang, they have some good ideals (though admittedly they don’t live up to them), and their home community seems to like them. They just seem to want to be left alone and free of the corpos. I wish you could join/do missions for these gangs, because 6th Street seems to be a good candidate for reforming into something respectable.
My first impression is that it sure looks like they have had ambition making this game and did not just wish to make a money making machine or a cheap first person version of GTA.
Maelstrom is the most interesting gang I think in the game. I'm not sure which one I prefer from my characters perspective though, it's still too early to tell.
Great video as always, LKM! As for the the gangs, I think I like the Mox & Valentinos the most. Not sure why. I just like their causes. Not overly violent. Just trying to do their own thing.
The Moxes. Why? “Cause hell has no fury like a woman scorned”. My favorite Cyberpunk 2077 streamer, My man, Last Know Meal. Thanks for the videos man. You put out great information.
I think they picked the best gangs from the lore, ngl some of the other gangs from 2020 are a bit cringe and over the top. Hard to take a bunch of guys dressed as Elvis Presley seriously xD
Another great braindance video by LKM! As a Nomad, I would never trust the Maelstrom, Tyger Claws, Wraiths, Animals, or Scavs. I would be on fence about the 6th Street and Voodoo Boys. I would trust the Moxes, Aldecados, and if I have a connection with Jackie, I should be in good graces with the Valentinos.
Maelstrom in lore: vicious, sadistic and semi-occultic borged-out killers with barely any shred of humanity left in them. Maelstrom in game: mostly in beginner area, so they drop like flies by the second act. 'Tinos in lore: hanging on by the atoms of their fingernails, pushed around by larger and more aggressive gangs, and really only care about getting laid. 'Tinos in game: will take an entire drum of LMG ammo to drop while their buddy one-shots you with a cheap shotgun.
It's also disappointing how many gangs didn't make the cut: Bozos, Inquisitors, Red Chrome Legion. I understand that not every gang can make it into the gang, but it feels like some of the more boring minor factions squeaked through while the more visually interesting and varied ones got left to wither in the sun.
⭐The Animals Are Totally awesome Man Having a Body With No Limits Has Always been a Concept Ones again The Animals Are cool I Consider Them To Be Powerful⭐ 👊🏻 👑👊🏻💥🗣 YEAH
I think the 6th Street gang stands out for me cuz they remind me of the Van Der Linde gang. I'm gonna be a street kid, robin hood kinda guy so maybe I'll use them to take down those damn corpos! And it's a massive bonus they like modifying cars, I'm gonna be all about driving in this game 👌🏻
@@LastKnownMeal although I'm planning corpo for my main I'm probably running through the other two prologues first -- I like the idea of learning about Night City first as a Nomad (probably a Solo/combat build), then refining that as a jack-of-all-trades Street Kid, then do my first proper run through the main story as a corpo
We've got nomad, corpo, and streetkid but there should be a cop lifepath where you are trying to clean up the city streets and have to deal with ganglords, dealers, and fellow cops who are corrupt or become one of them.
In all complete honesty, I have enjoyed enough of the Yakuza franchise to feel really enticed to ally myself with the deadliest Tyger Clawz as a Street Kid.
Hey @lastknownmeal I have a question please clearify: We know the lore of what happened like how silverhand got killed by Adam and his girlfriend and stuff so..isn't that a huge spoiler?is the game based on this story that we know already?or is there new lores made with mike pondsmith and is everything we saw till now from prologue?
No worries about that, that lore is history now and the game is just telling it for people who don't know, but nah it's not a spoiler and is not the main story of 2077
I actually wonder if gangs will ambush you if you have a negative standing with them. Like let’s say you butchered a bunch of tyger claws or betrayed the voodo boys for whatever reason, will a group of them drop on you randomly like how the scavs did in the gameplay shown or will you be targeted as soon as you enter their territory?
Probably which gets me super hyped in that same gameplay and a few others they said that the consequences of your actions won’t always be super major or just be a cutscene but also play out in more minor ways though out the world and gameplay
I like The animals and The Valintinos. I hope Sasquatch is a romance option. Or any animal women for that matter. I'm very curious about how that relationship would be like. I really like the Valintinos style. Their cars are like the lowriders and old school Cadillac cars. And I would love to see their graffiti as an artist myself. I would like to see their tags, throw ups and their burner pieces.
I'm super intrigued to just walk around gang neighborhoods or turfs to see how my "street cred" affects their treatment of V. I also wonder if attacking or mistreating gangs will affect your side quest or missions even.
If you build relations with one specific gang, is it going to prevent you from creating relations with their rivals, like the moxes and the tiger claw for example?
They are not technically gangs, but nomad families and nations, I already covered Wraiths in a separate video recently if you are interested in their history

my top 3 favorite gangs are moxes, valentinos, and voodoo boys
That seems like the three best.
Genuinely those stick out to me. All of them have my sort of importances of family and protection of normal people at no cost.
6th Street..Moxes..Tigerclaws..are my favorites
I love your accent my dude, especially how you pronounce the R.
Valentinos all the way. Because they look like one of the nicest gang in nc
They're definitely one of the least malicious, unlike say the maelstrom or tiger claws.
I don’t know I feel the moxes give me the nicer vibe
@@joshs7372 I’m gonna slaughter the moxes !
Lowriders
Wasn’t Jackie apart of the Valentino’s gang ?? Before he met v ??
Another great lore video from LKM:)
Personally, my take... it feels like there are a couple of default hostile gangs (Maelstrom & Tyger Claws) where even if it's possible to ally with them the main storyline will make it a lot easier for them to be antagonists
Conversely, it looks like the Mox & Valentinos will more-or-less be allies if you just follow the main storyline along, even if it's possible to go off piste and make enemies of them
The Animals & Voodoo Boys are maybe either/or -- both could be either friendly or hostile, but maybe allying with one will rile the other
As for the 6th Street -- I like the origin here and how they've changed, a militia that started out defending the people and are perhaps just turning into thugs & enforcers -- what I'd love to see with them is the opportunity to influence their direction, maybe you can get them focused back onto defending their communities, on the other hand perhaps you influence them to complete their shift to becoming just another violent band of thugs
Looking at the map of gang territory the thing that stands out is a bit of a North/South divide -- Mox excepted, the north of Night City is dominated by the two gangs likely to default to being the most hostile (Maelstrom & Tyger Claws); the south side of the city however feels like the gangs maybe default to being a lot easier to work with (Valentinos, 6th Street, and Voodoo Boys all next to each other). If the Tyger Claws are in bed with Arasaka then I'm thinking maybe it would be nice if the 6th Street decided to start expanding north a bit, perhaps with a little backing from Militech
So the voodoo dudes are basically anonymous from the cyberpunk universe?
Loooool😂😂 they Akatsuki💀
I wish there was a group called the anonymous in cyberpunk 2077
Oooof. Them choices. Tyger Claws and The Mox are my favs. Shame their enemies.
Another great one dude
I wonder if there’s gonna be a lot of minor gangs that weren’t talked about like the Brainiacs for example
The maelstrom gang always interested me the most
I gotta tell ya you've been my favorite TH-camr for cyberpunk just wanted to say thank you for keeping us all hyped!
The Voodoo boys reminds me of the Sons Of Samedi from Saints row 2 but more badass.
Ah, John Donovan, good to hear from you. And surely they are more "badass" than Cassandra's gang in New Bordeaux?
Sixth Street has always interested me.
They’re not *particularly* violent for a street gang, they have some good ideals (though admittedly they don’t live up to them), and their home community seems to like them. They just seem to want to be left alone and free of the corpos.

I feel like 12 million out of LKM's 25 million views come from me playing his playlists non-stop. 12 days to go, choombas, stay strong.
@LastKnownMeal thank you for your videos you're keeping me alive in these last few weeks.
Maelstrom is the most interesting gang I think in the game. I'm not sure which one I prefer from my characters perspective though, it's still too early to tell.
Brilliant, comprehensive, and excellently produced. Great video and explanation of the lore!!
Thank you, glad you liked it
The way you speak is quite eloquent and I appreciate your conciseness. Great video!
Thanks for watching!
Great video as always, LKM!

I’m the same I’d like to join the valentinos or 6th street
I love your channel. Its gets me more hyped up for this game.
The Moxes. Why? “Cause hell has no fury like a woman scorned”. My favorite Cyberpunk 2077 streamer, My man, Last Know Meal. Thanks for the videos man. You put out great information.
4th or 5th video I’ve seen of yours, just finally subscribed.
I need you to say “4th Corporate War” wayyyyy more often.

hey this game has a sense of humor we might see some silly gangs that dont play a major part of the game
Like In. Fallout new Vegas
Thanks for the inputs on the cars LKM, i´m defo searching those when the game releases, you, Neon and Madqueen are my go to source on CP :D.
Can wait to see last known meal just unloaded cyberpunk walkthrough
oooooo that intro music was awesome i like it.
Been loving all the lore videos
Thank you and more to come, I am just waiting for the game to drop to have proper footage.
@@LastKnownMeal Yeah it would really complete the videos, I'm excited for all the opportunities we have post launch
Oh great keeper of knowledge, librarian of Cyberspace and Grand Netrunner, thank you for another amazing video
Do the wastelander gangs like the Aldecaldos dont count because they're outside of night city?🤔
They're far by the most heart warming in my book.

Very informative video, keep it up!
Excited to get in there cant wait to hit up the Tyger claws and moxes gangs. Corpo all the way.
Nice vid dude 😀
Tygerclaws. Cuz.... katanas... *Unsheathes the blade* "Ryujin no ken wo kurae!" playofthegame :^)
Kano would fit right in with the Maelstrom
True that
Malestrom are just basically the mechanicus from war hammer 40m
Nice video man, u have my subscribe,
And are you going to play Cyberpunk 77 when it comes out?
Of course, I am planning a lot of videos then, this is just a beginning of sort
@@LastKnownMeal going to be awesome
I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL I CAN PLAY
The Valentinos. In CP 2020 these guys were a minor gang of pickup artists and Casanova wannabes. They certainly moved up on the food chain.
Hey LKM will you be doing walkthroughs and achievement/trophy guides for this game?
Absolutely yes!
Maelstrom in lore: vicious, sadistic and semi-occultic borged-out killers with barely any shred of humanity left in them.
Maelstrom in game: mostly in beginner area, so they drop like flies by the second act.
'Tinos in lore: hanging on by the atoms of their fingernails, pushed around by larger and more aggressive gangs, and really only care about getting laid.
'Tinos in game: will take an entire drum of LMG ammo to drop while their buddy one-shots you with a cheap shotgun.
It's also disappointing how many gangs didn't make the cut: Bozos, Inquisitors, Red Chrome Legion. I understand that not every gang can make it into the gang, but it feels like some of the more boring minor factions squeaked through while the more visually interesting and varied ones got left to wither in the sun.

Forgot about the Scavs.
14 days boys.
Forgot Scavengers, Wraiths, Arasaka, and Militech.
Ok if only the game lets you Choose what gang you wanna be in me stay loyal to I would join 6th street or valentinos
Wassup lkm love ur vids u are the TH-camr i go to for cyber punk
Thanks bro!

What about the nomad gangs???
Moxes, remind me of the movie Sin city :) badass!
Crazy the video games awards are on the same day as cyberpunk.
My guy💪🏾
8:09 Joseph Joestar must have some questions

Glad you like the videos! I will go street kid first, then nomad and then corpo.
life bath lol

I'm really liking the Moxes and the Valentinos. The Maelstroms look like they would be an absolute beast to get into a fight with, though.
a gang similar to the Italian mafia is missing xD, well there is already the militech that of Italian origins🥰
I guess Valentos is the closes to it, or the Tyger Claws (since the Yakuza is a mafia).
I like the old school 6th street gang, would be cool if you can turn them back to what they were suppose to be.
My character will be Lupus Yonderboy, and my gang will be the Panther Moderns. Yeah, you know you want to join...
can’t wait for you to get into gangs they don’t show in game. they’re fascinating to me!
Too bad the game turned out to be a buggy mess.
@@jeromemccalla9520 yeah i’m disappointed but it’s not the devs fault so 🤷🏾♀️
Can't wait for the game to come out so we can have more game clips for these videos.
Valentinos seem pretty chill tbh at least compared to the others
We've got nomad, corpo, and streetkid but there should be a cop lifepath where you are trying to clean up the city streets and have to deal with ganglords, dealers, and fellow cops who are corrupt or become one of them.
Voodoo doys and Tiger Claw. I hope we Cain join them in the future.
especially voodoo im tryna be with the brethren racially their more accurate than the gangs in the game😂
Yakuza cut the little finger off if you dishonor the clan.
In all complete honesty, I have enjoyed enough of the Yakuza franchise to feel really enticed to ally myself with the deadliest Tyger Clawz as a Street Kid.
CDPR should release more life paths either as dlc or part of new expansions
So nobody gonna talk about how Royce has a different gun now?
1:01 how to aim with a power weapon like that ?
I now love the tiger claws since one of their leaders is named Jotaro. Sadly their surname is not Kujo though.
Oh hell yeah!
Ngl Valentino’s sound fire
👍🖖Very nice bro.
