    David did what he set out to do; the dreams he took upon along the way, he made them come true. Got to the top of Arasaka Tower like his mom wanted; became an NC legend like Maine wanted; got Lucy to the moon like she wanted.
    But if you were to ask any of them if they were happy with the way David went about it, none of them would say yes. Especially Lucy. Her dream wasn’t the moon at that point; she just wanted David to live.

      The song really sums up the tragedy of cyberpunk settings. Capitalism run amok forces people to literally turn themselves into a machine, to integrate products into themselves, and commodify themselves either as wageslaves or mercenaries. When, undisturbed, people really want nothing more to be around the people they care about. We make life complex and alienating in the chase for profit margins.

  • @randomcommentor246
    @randomcommentor246 ปีที่แล้ว +102

    There's a popular fan theory (which i like to believe) - That Lucy was one of the key reasons why David could handle so much cyberware. Like she was the humanity in his life that he only really carried on living for. David was special, but when they started becoming distanced and Lucy isolated herself, being less present in his life, David started becoming less human literally and figuratively, and started suffering the effects of psychosis. But here when they reunite, Lucy snaps him back from the edge. Who knows if they both survived maybe David would have had that chance to get normal again. Pretty tragic :')

    • @AtticsTV
      @AtticsTV ปีที่แล้ว +10

      A big reason for that theory stems from the mechanic of cyberpsychosis in the OG games: that when your empathy drops too low, you slip into psychosis. Those with higher empathy, and ways to remind themselves of their empathy, have a higher tolerance for cyberware. So this definitely makes sense that Lucy, and the gang as a whole helped David: because he found a family to belong to, and to devote himself to.

    • @isStock
      @isStock ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Isn't it confirmed by the creator of the table top game that cyber psychosis can be treated with regular therapy?

    • @AtticsTV
      @AtticsTV ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Its not quite regular therapy but yeah, you treat your cyberpsychosis with therapy in the game, but its only temporary. You cannot ever fully recover the humanity (the stat that tracks when you become a cyberpsycho) as long as you have cyberware, and the more cyberware you have, the lower your permanent humanity goes until you remove cyberware.
      So therapy helps you treat your psychosis but the more cyberware you have, the less effective it is. The system is actually in the game to PREVENT people from basically becoming gods with cyberware.

    • @anubis19801
      @anubis19801 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Here's Mike Pondsmith's take in his own words:-
      Okay, so time to (partially) explain CYBERPSYCHOSIS.
      First of all, Cyberpsychosis is a disorder that in part depends on the subject's overall internal susceptibility. Just like every person who drinks a lot at parties doesn't end up an alcoholic in the gutter, not everyone who gets loaded up on cyberware is going to automatically go cyberpsycho. You have to have an inherent susceptibility, which (in the TRPG) is represented by the player's Humanity Stat. Humanity is not just a measure of one aspect of personality, but an overall measure of several elements including the subject's ability to emphasize and relate with others, their ability to absorb and rebound from mental and physical stressors, their ability to show compassion and flexibility to others, and whether they are able to balance their worldview through other methods.
      So, in some ways, I tend to treat cyberware as an addiction--heavy anabolic steroid use being my favorite model. Not everyone who juices ends up crazy mad with roid rage. But those who are more susceptible to the need to take more steroids are more likely to hit a point where they do flip into roid rage. (Take a look at this article from Livescience www.livescience.com/38354-what-is-roid-rage.html for a pretty good idea of how roid rage works--notice that it's got the same basic profile as cyberpsychosis).
      David's starting Humanity was probably already pretty high. And before things went to crap, he had a loving mother, a career path, and no more hassle than the average poor guy in a wealthy Ivy League school. So he had lots of buffer. But even so, he still, even after losing all that, was able to make friends, build a replacement family, and (after some prompting) even get a girlfriend. And a mentor (Maine) to create a supportive father figure. So he could definitely handle the stress of added cyberware up to a point.
      Most people in Night City don't have the level of Humanity to pull this kind of stunt off without going cyberpsychotic. So David is one in a million. And that's why Arasaka wants him.

      That's the cruel thing. Immunosuppressants are the short term, stop gap measure used to fend off Cyberpsychosis, but you know what the actual cure is? Human connection. It's why it's so much easier to kill a Cyberpsycho than treat them, why David, who had strong connections to his mum, the Edgerunners, and to Lucy was so resilient to all his chrome, and why Night City produces so many of them. That place is anathema to forming human connections.

Not saying it is as good as Cowboy Bebop, but I think it's gonna be kind of like Bebop in that over the next decade or so people are going to discover it and it will slowly become a legendary anime.
    For me this anime isn't meant to have a happy ending. The important part isn't really who lives and who dies, it's how a group of people in a world that is trying to literally and figuratively turn them into machines for profit try to hold onto their humanity and the bonds between them.

Still my favorite campaign I've ever ran. It was in 2019 so at the peak of our excitement for 2077. More people should play the table top imo

      @@thedarkstarr11 So as a GM for many years for Cyberpunk I can tell you sometimes the players think they are more bad ass then they are and think they can pick a fight with Smasher I can tell you from experience in all of my campaigns where smasher comes out its resulted in a TPK or near TPK and they flee to maybe try some other time and only a handful of times has the players actually succeeded on beating him

      I GM'd a campaign of Cyberpunk for some friends of mine who wanted to get into the setting after 2077 came out. They only knew Smasher from the game and wanted to eventually fight him.
      They got their wish, and they learned very quickly that Tabletop Smasher is far different than 2077 Smasher.

      Nah, Lucy (and his relationship with her) enhanced what he already had. But he had it to begin with.
      Before meeting Lucy (or rather, just after meeting her, so he wouldn't have many feelings for her at that point) everyone was astonished that not only he had been able to activate his sandevistan 10 times in less than a day without losing it, but also coming nowhere close to do so. His limit at that stage was his body, not his mind, something nobody could believe.
      Heck, his ripperdoc was pretty sure his mind would pop just with one use...he went on to use it 10 times in a day and not even noticing anything wrong in his mind. Though his body was pretty much messed up.
      So David was definitely special on his own to begin with.

      @@darells.illustrisimo467 DLC is set during the main plot. Its an extended series of side-missions. The only thing its been confirmed to do is unlock an entirely new ending.
      Panams ending is the most hopeful. Misty seems to think so especially and shes right about everything. She seems to think V will live for some time with Panam and the Nomads. A cure isnt certain but a good end to life is however long it might be.
      Also remember Alt CANNOT be trusted. Its entirelt within reason she was lying or exagerrating because she either wanted Johnny to live in Vs body or perhaps didnt want to take him along to whatever thing she has planned beyond the Blackwall which doubtless isnt good. Remember all the minds trapped in Mikoshi from Soulkiller arent freed. Alt takes them to use for her own ends.
      The claim that Alts prognosis on V can be trusted is dubious, just like it is with Arasaka. Im not saying V isnt dying - he got shot in the head and had invasive technology trying to take over. But the suggestion its only a few months or that tech cant help is ridiculous. I dont know if CDPR forgot but some people in 2077 can actually have synthetic brains. Everyone sees it - headshot the right enemy npc and their skull opens up to white milky blood and white synthetic brain tissue.

    There was never going to be a happily ever after for the Edgerunners. Mike Pondsmith, the creator of the tabletop RPG that served as the basis for the video game and this series, said it himself: "Cyberpunk isn't about saving the world. It's about saving yourself." And when it comes to Night City, no one can ever save themselves, not without sacrifices.

Final fight scene they both said they were special, and what a better ending fight scene then father and son both tolerate to crome and not knowing he was his father and David was his son and the mother didn’t want him to know about his father. 🤯

    I know you probably won't see this but the overall message of this Cyberpunk world but even more specifically Night City. No one ever wins. The corporations are the ones who are always on top. Johnny Silverhand (character from the video & board game) blew up Arasaka tower in 2023 & died doing it but 50 years later the tower was remade showing that really Johnny died for nothing, Arasaka still had plenty of power, the corpos still controlled everything. You can try to work your way up for power, similar to Davids crew but none of them won. Lucy lived but she didn't win. She went to the Moon after losing everyone & everything.

    I always took that shot of Becca to be Trigger's way of shining a mirror on the viewer. For a lot of people the bad guys' gorey deaths were hype moments, and not pulling the punch on Becca's body is their way of saying "everyone in Night City is a victim of Night City", showing how they're all the same and struggling the same.
    RIP Becca and David.
