Hope you all enjoyed the video chooms! I loved making this one so I hope it was worth it
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR PUTTINT THE SPOILER WARNING ON!!!
I was so worried your other videos were gonna reveal stuff for the dlc and have been watching them at a snails pace.
Now I can go back and watch them without worrying about spoilers!
Hey, I'm a new viewer of yours and just wanted to thank you for your content. Your videos I found the best out there for cyberpunk lore. The way you write scripts and deliver them makes your videos both captivating and easy to understand for me despite English not being my first language. So, congrats, you just earned yourself a happy subscriber! Will be checking out more of your content as well as be pumped for new additions! So, good luck with that choom😎
mentions legendary dying merc V. Mind instantly thinks of V then puking blood as johnny comments. "pretty isnt it? Hey your staining my jacket V"
V "SHUT UP ILL BUY A NEW ONE! its just a replica. its what it represents."
J-s"that your hardcore skeeving for a hit of Skeef cause your lungs are leaking all over? yeah It represents something alright. Everything dogtown and kurt hates. A soldier who went his own way, WITHOUT a commanders permission. Dude was incharge so when he went off grid whod tell him no? the president? Well we have seen how well that went."
V"Ya know you really have a good talent of taking something really cool, and turning it into something crappy!"
J-s"Just forwarning you now. Songbird. Meyers. Hansen. Something dont feel right here in paradisio"
V"Ether song bird helps us. Or we Zero her. Simple as. I only need 1 second."
J-s" V look I get it your a cyborg badass cause Im carrying the psychosis load being a born pyscho my self but this is different. This songbird chick she hacked the relic. that should not be fucking possible. she SAW ME TOUCHED ME. im telling ya V she is NOT a human. Dont trust her. She is what ALT would have become IF SHE GAVE INTO THE BLACKWALL! we cant let this bird fly her cage or everyone is doomed. and only our friends Delimain and alt are on the side of the human species beyond the black wall"
V"So your telling me raches rabids have gone even more wild. More so then the rogue AI systems already? Now they are become like us? galvanizing and corrilating into... what? ARMIES? the black wall is a AI built to be there devil. There grim reaper. DELIMANE was a system before the collapse that got lucky and spent enough time to love humans but your telling me he was the only? No johnny. I cant believe that. Havnt you every loved a electronic product so much you hated when you had to replace it cause of planned obsolescence?"
J-s"V look your not getting it this is beyond the basics of ai or our buddy del or even skippy or what happened to alt. del was a prewar fragment. Skippy was programmed. Alt was a human who got locked in the net as a stolen soul. But whats in songbird. its NOT any of that. its a natural born made program from beyond the blackwall that slipped through! ITS A FKING DEAMON V! ONE THAT HAS TAKEN A HUMANS SOUL AND BODY! I should know I am half one. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO KILL IT!"
v"BUT SONGBIRD!"
J-s"fate of the world... or your friend.... kinda rings fking horribly hollow when ya think of it. She is a good kid. but unlike alt she didnt have the MIND to holdback the viruses and deamons. Now she is sadly a puppet. Best you can do is make it quick.... and V... I know how you feel. I was the same with alt. Didnt know what to do. and I lost her. MAYBE just maybe doing this. Killing the deamon might save her but.... I have no way to prove im right."
v"ETHERWAY what militech did downhere is something the world can never have access to."
J-s"amen to that sister. Still got my iron?
V "Never leave home without it"
J-s"Then time for me to do my last duty to the president. You to earn a medal. And us to hopefully save a friend. But Ill be honest V. I think this poor girl is too far gone to save. WHATEVER is in her. is in this facility. This cyno thing. it wants one thing alone. The obliteration of the human species. So pardon me if I am little fucking scared of what might happen"
V"same, johnny."
Arasaka is usually the face of evil corporations in the cyberpunk community, and I'm not saying they don't deserve it, but Militech's shady stuff largely get unnoticed. Their nuke killing 15k people. Trying to tame rogue AIs, really? That's so much more dangerous than Arasaka using Soulkiller. I'm honestly surprised that Johnny isn't shit talking Militech that much, but I guess that's understandable since he worked with Militech with the AHQ bombing and a large part of his grudge with Arasaka is really mostly because of Alt. Rogue was right, it was never about corporate colonialism, it's about his groupie output.
That just exploded his hatred for corps. No matter what side they represent evil. They exploit, pillage and strip people of everything. All while posing as the GREATER GOOD
Dunno if I can say Rouge AI's are more dangerous then a peice of software that can instantly kill anyone anywhere almost instantly.
In fact if you pick corpo route you can see them use it to take out nearly all of the EU board voting to stop Arasaka from building a catapult.
And Arasaka also was trying to get into the black wall. That was the whole back story for Lucy irrc.
But honestly I agree Militech being totally nationalized is infinitely more dangerous and worse. Given yaknow they're effectively protected and shielded from consequences under the guise 'they're with the government'
Arasaka kidnapped and basically killed Alt by putting her in that situation so Johnny only has tunnel vision and hate for Arasaka
I mean Millitec didn't do anything to Johnny but Arasaka he got a few bones to pick with them
You’re right about how awful militech is, but one could argue that soulkiller is quite possibly the greatest threat to mankind that exists at the time. I always choose to attack Arasaka one way or another to destroy it.
Death is the great equalizer. Wealth begets wealth, power begets power. Once someone has a little bit of it, it becomes significantly easier to accrue more. People like Saburo Arasaka are already one of the most powerful people ever, and as long as he reigns Arasaka is essentially invincible. If he achieves immortality, his genius and direction will essentially snowball the power of Arasaka even further until it becomes incomprehensible. Humanity has already colonized the moon in the world of CP2077. In a hundred years, we would have established nations on the moon. In two hundred years, we could have colonies on many other planets, and Saburo would be master of the solar system. His brutality, hatred of western civilization, corruption, and merciless nature would seep into every level of human consciousness until the end of time, as he himself slowly delves into madness and numbness from his endless existence.
Ship crashes into stadium. Instead of cleaing it out, they used its engine to power their stadium and surrounding areas. That's gangsta.
Reminds me of my grandpa * fuck ye let's steal there power and tap into their cable box xD
Dogtown is a cesspit but hey, the booze is cheap and the guns are cheaper.
The more America America
booze is boozier and guns are gunnyer
And there’s no hookers
They got iconic cyberware in their shops, Kurt Hansen is basically my best bro
And life is veeery cheap
I wish that we could have interacted with Kurt more. He seemed like a great guy to really lock horns with repeatedly instead of just his one boss fight.
Same I thought he’d have an option to join him as well tbh
@@WiseFishand then in return if you go into night city, the ncpd would attack you, essentially having an infinite 1 star, but not “actively” looking for you
@@temp0cspretty sure kurt dealed with ncpd behind the scenes
@@temp0csas in making deals with*
@WiseFish that could be been an interesting ending
CP2077 is full with hints of ocean deep lore. For example the stadium in Dogtown, named after one of the most powerful megacorps in the Cyberpunk universe - EBM. That German Megacorp, that delivers all the most important components for big Militech military vehicles, Arasaka spy technologie or Netwach netrunning gear - and making their Hamburg based Megacorp absolutely essential with this strategy of components tech. It's so cool that you can find such lore behind any corner. With 2.0 so many NPCs are having long conversations, you have so many details in side missions and even small jobs. All the dataterms, dialogue options and so many hidden secrets. I love CP2077 2.0 and Phantom Liberty so, so much. For me the best gaming experience on the market right now. As someone who is creating mods for the game, an absolute dream came true with the Cyberpunk franchise landing in CDPRs hands. And as a Sci-Fi fan you will be satisfied for so many years now...
Please done abbreviate cyberpunk
I’m amazed that an area with such a small amount of space occupied it’s one of the most interesting areas I’ve ever experienced in a game. Fucking legendary DLC
They made Hansens character so believable, a dictator who peddles a us against them message but is making deals with corps and governments behind the scenes because he knows that he will be obliterated without them
Real talk if he had a real vision I'd back him
It’s becoming a bad habit of mine, getting stuck behind the imaginary walls of “exclusion zones” first Tarkov, then Chernobyl, now Dog Town
Oh hell no, imagine getting jumped by the monolith one day and they just have a Metel revolver 💀
It's been a long time since I had a 30$ game expansion that gave me weeks of addional play time AND made me jump into another full playthroughs of the base game content too.
I am so glad I never abandoned CDPR and gave them the chance they so very deserved with this game.
same here choom
I waited until the game was $16. Best value for any almost new game. One of the best games I've played. CDPR should have waited another year. I would always buy a great game delayed at full price than a good game released unfinished.
@@apocalypse487iirc the issues with Cyberpunk 2077 launch wasnt just the release schedule but that they outsourced their testing
Tobad they cut off additional content of before the first season shit 😢
I'm really bad at finishing games but cyberpunk 2077 is one of the few that i have finished and went on to replay. The world of cyberpunk is just so fascinating to me and gives me complete brainrot 😂 the lore lives in my head rent-free.
Fax
Hell yeah choom
I guess Johnny is in all our heads then 😂
Do Kang Tao sometime. I really liked the Biotechnika video and knowing how influential the corpos are to the creation of Night City, please do that one too.
I really appreciate your effort you put in into making these lore videos. I've never been so drawn to any other world like I am to the world of cyberpunk 2077. These videos are part of the reason.
Oh hell yea here we go!! PL is such a ridiculously good expansion it’s legit better than most full games. I want to play it again immediately after just finishing it
The expansion solidified cyberpunk 2077 as my fav all time video game experience, great video! Hope for more to come!!
Ye it's a 9.5 outa 10 with phantom liberty it'd live up to the dreams if they kept adding content
Just got into your content man, and Its gotten me wayyy more into the game. I appreciate it Wise!
Just FYI, those "Siamese cats" in the heavy hearts club are actually sphynx cats. That's the name of the hairless breed.
New Cyberpunk lore video babe, wake up
Incredibly detailed lore vid and so quickly after the DLC dropped. Great work with this super interesting vid! Well played.
Brilliant as always. The lore just gets more and more intriguing.
Thank you so much for covering more of Cyberpunk!
Love your videos dude respect and keep up the epic work.
Another great video mate!
Getting my post-playthrough fix watching your vids, Phantom Liberty was an incredible expansion, one of the finest I've ever experienced! From the voice casting to the world development, truly incredible, up there with Blood & Wine for Witcher 3 and Far Harbor for Fallout 4 in my view.
Keep up the amazing Lore work mate, you're one of a kind!
Yay new wisefish lore video for my lunch break 😍!!
was waiting for this one :p
Love your work/videos. Thank you so much!
They really turned tables with the expansion 👏🏼
Wish we could have made an ally of kurt
A different ending storming Saka tower with barghest would have been so cool to play
The final boss fight with Smasher with Hanson at your side would've been dope. I bet Hanson would've HATED Smasher.
Fr, Barghest is actually pretty chill as far as ethics goes. They protect their people first and foremost, probably the 2nd most morally good gang behind The Mox
I regret saving Myers.
Luckily you dont have to. If you just dont go into dogtown after you meet songbird or if you watch the crash and don’t do anything she dies and you fail the mission. Locks you out of the dlc but you can do it.
@@A57-0mona well sir, I kinda already did save her. Hence the regret.
The ending credits for PL made me think the same where shes doing a deal with Kurt
fr, but i killed so mi to get back at her
Simple, not possible in GMA but would be funny:
End of the DLC, Myres is thanking you for your service, and as she goes to turn away, you:
If you don’t have anything special: shoot her
Mantis blades: stab her in the back.
Gorilla arms: rip out her spine.
Would be *AWESOME* if V just goes cyberpsycho.
Dogtown, making night city look safe and getting better at it everyday.
Home sweet home.
Great video & content!🔥🤙
And in the center of the area, one of the most beautiful buildings amongst all of them…
A bass pro shop
Many thanks for this insightful video - much appreciated!
kewlll id love to hear more excerpts in your videos, i know its more editing but it def brings a bit more "realism" to the info i think
Been waiting for this one🔥🔥🔥
Oh boy, can it be? A new WishFish lore video?
Great Explanation.
i probably have waited for a proper case to use this phrase since the time it was seen as relevant and not overused loool:
_I’m a simple man, i see WiseFish’s Cyberpunk lore upload - i press _*_like_*_ and then press _*_play._*
Excellent video :D
Such a good video, unbelievable
This is Kurt Hansen: if you're hearing this, you've come to the right place. NCPD? Gang wars? Not in Dogtown. Taxes? Who the fuck needs them.
Imagine getting drafted by Microsoft to fight Apple
The rule of Dog Town must change "hands" in order to progress.
... damn this is good.
i want to see what dog town looks like finished and alive
Perhaps they'll do a time-skip for a sequel, and have it set in year 2100 Night City. We can see Night City 23 years after the events of V's campaign.
I love you content. Been struggling as of late but you videos have kept me sane and the lore makes me wanna buy the game. Please cover more games as well you content and work you put in is amazing!
What do you mean by thank you for watching this video? Thank YOU for making it, excellent stuff!
Let’s gooo perfect way to spend Friday evening
There is ByF for Destiny, VaatiVidya for Dark Souls, and then there is WiseFish for Cyberpunk, your labor is sure appreciated.
Could you do a video on the Datakrash/Old Net/Blackwall/Rouge A.I.?
"Taxes who the F needs them" sounds nice but i wander how did kurt fund his operations
By charging rent from dogtown inhabitants aka taxes.
I hope you make a video about Cynosure facility in the future!
Looks like they made a Fallout reference on the Needle. The dish on top with the patriotic flag that almost looks like the old world flag of America in Fallout.
"Taxes? Who the fuck needs 'em"
Fuck yeah, was hopin' for this.
It'd be nice if Kurt contracted cleaning up his damn district with all this money he's making owning the combat zone. There's rusted out flipped cars in the middle of the district center for as long as my V has been there. Come on now, you can do better Kurt. Instead of contracting the fixing of the chimera after it got destroyed, maybe contract... a tow truck.
I can’t help but feel that Militech is as bad as, if not worse than Arasaka
We see the way they treat refugees in the camps in the badlands, killing journalists in corpo plaza, randomly slaughtering nomads, and using nuclear weapons in a city
Then in phantom liberty we see project Cynosure, which was arguably just as messed up as soul killer and could’ve resulted in the blackwall being destroyed
While I'm excited for "project Orian" if it's gonna be like cyberpunk and aim to be a true sequel, massive and open world, I really hope they don't skip out all this interesting lore and if they do have new gangs that overtake old ones, at least remember to make mentions of the older gangs and corps such as arasaka, militech, maelstrom etc
Great video as always! I've never actually played Cyberpunk myself... but your videos have gotten me thinking about it. What do you think?
Trust me bro. You have no reason to push it off anymore
PLAY IT
I still want a full video on Biotechnica but this works to. Hopefully the next cyberpunk lore video is about Biotechnica. I even have a ok name if you want to use it."Biotechnica's crimes against nature" simple but affective.
This video does explain to me why the mcguffin tech of Phantom Liberty, despite being said to be several years old, was the way it was in the game.
Loreeeee time
God I love this game
hello i was wondering if did or going to do a lore on cyberpunk cybernetics?
Really enjoying these videos and learning more about Cyberpunk lore. As a Texan and Galvestonian I'd love to hear the lore of the Republic of Texas and New Galveston
thank you
Not sure but the dish on the side of the Needle may be a nod to Fallout 3, where you fix the dish in the Washington Monument...
This may just be me but I felt like everything about PL was great and some of the best missions and writing in cyberpunk. Yet the confrontation with Kurt just felt like it was lacking a bit. Everything leading up to it was top notch, but you pretty much convince him your one of the twin net runners, and he just dies like right after. I wasnt expecting some spectacular massive brawl, instead he suspects V and seperates you and Alex. Either way the dlc was great Id give it like an 8.5/10
Reed dropping tracks while being a bouncer
ngl dog town truly is freedom
I’m getting Aaron Keener vibes from Hansen
Im sure they will, but just re-emphasizing that man the sequel has such a solid launch pad of lore and story to go off of here
Lemme gobble that lore.
The Heavy Hearts is basically the Luxor Casino in Los Vegas
Nooo I'm not completely through the dlc.
I'll be back
The writers who created Phantom Liberty (and NC for that matter) are absolutely amazing. There are layers upon layers of analogy and mythology here. I just got a wave of Apocalypse Now vibe from Colonel Kurt Hansen's origin story! I mean, even the movies antagonist's name is Colonel Walter E. Kurtz...
You got Las Vegas overtones as well
A ton of Deus Ex influence too
@@davidglenn2739I don't really see Deus Ex here tbh
Does anyone else feel like this is a documentary from the future???
the Expansion is really good.
Should do one on metacorp
Thanks for the spoiler warning, I will watch this in a couple weeks, gonna be rough tho.. :)
In cyberpunk I'd totally be living in the stacks
in 2077 people will be in awe at how this foreshadowed SanFran's future.
They cleaned it up pretty fast for the Chinese.
Honestly, if i were to be in charger of it, i would want that Orion use the setting of the fifth corporate war to make each district a war zone with different gangs and corporations having control over them similary to dogtown
Is Orion is a direct sequel or just another open world cyberpunk game with different everything?
Hard disagree. A major part of Night City is its outward glistening appearance while having a rotten core. What you want is to get brign its rotten core to the forefront, which is pretty boring since there's plenty of settings like that already. It'd be just another one of those post-apocalyptic settings. Dogtown already reminds me of Fallout's Boston. Can't have the entire city like that.
Hansen would have ruled Dogtown forever but he got greedy
If Dog town is a cesspit then it’s a good thing that I’m a cess, baby 😎
Can we get a Moxxi gang explained too
I’m really not sure what kurts goal was what the hell did he had a deal with nusa before the dlc or what he wanted from project cytoune
Kurt wanted leverage against the NUSA and NC. Cynosure is that leverage. He wants Dogtown to be independent and stand up to outside forces
Dude you're the VaatiVidya of cyberpunk
Can we get a lore video on Solomon Reed!!
Oooh, yes
So wait, Silverhand was working with Militech when be blew up Arasaka Tower in 2023?
Hey, WiseFish can you please cover Assassin Creed Series, and Red Redemption Series including Undead Nightmare DLC next please. Me and everybody would really love if you could please cover incredible lore, characters in these series next please. Thank you, and please keep up the amazing content
Why didn't miletech build the secret city in federal controled areas
11:40 Mosasaurus technically isn't a dinosaur
How much has changed with the Phantom Liberty update in the actual game besides adding the only DLC?
There Are 100+ Videos about it. Too many changes to explain everything
It plays like a different game. Most bugs are gone and the cops will actually chase you around GTA-style if you fuck around. At 5 stars, MaxTac goes after you much like you see in the beginning of the game with Jackie when they drop on gang goons. Fighting or parkouring your way out of 5 stars is really fun
It's literally a new game.
28:34 needs some more lore on this. IMO a video on this and other things like AVs and other notable vehicles would be cool. like what are the pros and cons of one of these vs a normal see going cargo ship?
Those giant DTR cargo air ships are used due to the fact that there are nanomachines and deep sea mines in the ocean due to one of the corpo wars.
There appears to be a way around them though, given Arasaka can still sail its ships like its aircraft supercarriers or cargo vessels so not 100% sure thats the reason.
@@asiblingproduction That's from the Ocean Wars, early days of the 4th Corpo War. Arasaka deployed those AI-controlled self-replicating mines in the first place, but then the AI controlling them went Rogue. In the early 2070s, there was a seawall built around NC by Saka to prevent the possibility of those mines setting up shop there. Saka probably just has their ships armed & defended well enough in realspace & NetSpace that they can get rid of any deterrents, old company-issued sea mines included. That being said, though, there is definitely something else going on there. When ocean trade got cut off because of those mines after the 4th Corpo War, supposedly undersea railways picked up some of the slack, and yet those didn't all get blown to shit.
Another major reason is that sea transport, by and large, is dominated & controlled by one of the Nomad Families. Also, while rare, pirates do still exist. Airships, on the other hand, really don't. If a corp needs to ensure that a product reaches a certain destination, an air transport like that is the safest option available to them.
makes you realize Myers is just as bloodthirsty as she seems to be while masquerading herself as the next Abraham Lincoln for starting The Unification Wars.
IMHO, if she hadn't become too ambitious for starting it, Pacifica would've been the pinnacle for the Age of Corporations and the peak of pure unadulterated capitalism plus generate more job opportunities and economic competitions.
Myers is evil for sure
hmmm4_4 interesting tab Goood show kinda nice
So Myers essentially created Dogtown... Wow!
The alternative was the fifth corpo war.
Honestly If I was dumb enough to enlist in the army why wouldn't I join barghest. Good chrome cheap booze and as long as you don't fuck with the colonel and his officers then you're good.
